Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of engineering construction technology. More specifically, this invention relates to a method for fabricating a segmental steel reinforcement cage without matching based on a straight threaded sleeve connection. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the horizontal matching method is mostly used for the fabrication of steel reinforcement cages for bridge piers and towers, while some use the long-line vertical matching method. Both methods use the previous steel reinforcement cage as the basis for the fabrication of the next steel reinforcement cage, and the remaining steel reinforcement cages are fabricated segment by segment. The horizontal matching method for fabricating steel reinforcement cages has the following disadvantages: (1) The horizontal matching method occupies a large area and has low adaptability to complex cross sections; (2) The long-line vertical matching method takes a long time for the lower steel reinforcement cage, resulting in low production efficiency and a large workload for disassembly, assembly, and hoisting of the steel reinforcement cage during the fabrication process; (3) When the steel reinforcement cage is connected on site, the straight thread spiral of the steel reinforcement at the connection point is discontinuous, causing installation difficulties; (4) The long-line vertical matching method requires a high operating frame with a large area, a large amount of materials, and high construction costs. At the same time, the high operating frame height results in high construction risks and low construction efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for manufacturing segmental rebar cages with mismatch based on straight threaded sleeve connections, which solves the problem of misaligned helical threads and inability to match rebar cages during installation, and reduces the time required for the reference rebar cage.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve this technical problem is: a method for fabricating a segmental rebar cage without matching based on a straight threaded sleeve connection, comprising:

[0005] According to the segment division of the steel reinforcement cage, the first set of steel reinforcement positioning frames is pre-placed at the corresponding height position at the top of the first steel reinforcement cage. The first set of steel reinforcement positioning frames is arranged with slots that correspond one-to-one with the positioning of the vertical steel reinforcement. Straight threaded sleeves and fixing devices are set at the corresponding positions of the slots.

[0006] Once the first section of the reinforcing steel cage is completed, the threaded sleeves on the first set of pre-placed reinforcing steel positioning frames are matched and installed one by one with the straight threads of the vertical reinforcing bars in the reinforcing steel cage. At this time, the information of the upper straight thread of the vertical reinforcing bars in the first section of the reinforcing steel cage is transmitted to the threaded sleeves on the first set of reinforcing steel positioning frames. The threaded sleeves are screwed out of the reinforcing steel cage and the position of the threaded sleeves is fixed by the fixing device. The first set of reinforcing steel positioning frames is then removed, and the first section of the reinforcing steel cage is completed.

[0007] Preferably, it also includes:

[0008] When removing the first section of the rebar cage and starting the fabrication of the Nth section of the rebar cage (N is a positive integer greater than 1), the first set of rebar positioning frames serves as the reference for fabricating the Nth section of the rebar cage. The lower end of the vertical rebar of the Nth section of the rebar cage is installed into the straight thread sleeve of the first set of rebar positioning frames. Simultaneously, the second set of rebar positioning frames is installed at the top of the Nth section of the rebar cage, and the straight thread sleeve on the second set of rebar positioning frames is screwed into the corresponding vertical rebar. The sleeve on the second set of rebar positioning frames has recorded the straight thread information at the upper end of the vertical rebar of the Nth section of the rebar cage. The straight thread sleeve on the second set of rebar positioning frames is screwed out of the rebar cage and its position is fixed by a fixing device. The second set of positioning frames is removed, and the fixing device at the lower end of the Nth section of the rebar cage is released. The Nth section of the rebar cage is now complete. The Nth section of the rebar cage is removed, and following the aforementioned method, the second set of rebar positioning frames is located at the lower end of the rebar cage as the reference for fabricating the N+1th section of the rebar cage. The N+1th section of the rebar cage is then fabricated. At this time, the first set of rebar positioning frames is located at the upper end of the rebar cage. The two sets of rebar positioning frames are used and placed alternately to complete the fabrication of the remaining rebar cage sections.

[0009] Preferably, the steel reinforcement cage includes vertical steel bars, horizontal steel bars, and tie bars.

[0010] Preferably, the straight thread at the upper end of the vertical reinforcing bar is a short thread, and the straight thread at the lower end of the vertical reinforcing bar is a long thread.

[0011] Preferably, the rebar positioning frame includes an upper chord, a web member, a lower chord, a positioning slot, and a fixing device;

[0012] The upper chord and the lower chord are connected by a web member. The positioning slots are located on the upper chord and the lower chord, and the positioning slots are arranged alternately and at intervals on the upper chord and the lower chord. The fixing device is detachably fixed above the positioning slots.

[0013] Preferably, the fixing device includes a separable sleeve that matches the outer diameter of the straight threaded sleeve. The straight threaded sleeve is fixed by the fixing device, and then the fixing device is fixed to the upper chord or the lower chord, thereby fixing the straight threaded sleeve.

[0014] The present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. The present invention proposes a method for fabricating segmental rebar cages without matching based on straight threaded sleeve connections. It adopts two sets of rebar positioning frames and single-segment rebar cage fabrication, which can significantly reduce the height of the operating frame and the height of the workers, improve safety, occupy less space in the fabrication site, and further reduce material and measure costs.

[0016] 2. The present invention proposes a method for fabricating segmental rebar cages without matching based on straight threaded sleeve connections, which reduces the time required for the reference rebar cage and improves production efficiency;

[0017] 3. The present invention proposes a method for fabricating a segmental steel reinforcement cage without matching based on a straight threaded sleeve connection, which uses a common straight threaded sleeve connection to reduce connection costs;

[0018] 4. The present invention proposes a method for manufacturing segmental rebar cages without matching based on straight thread sleeve connection. Combined with the rebar positioning frame, it can effectively control the screw-out distance of the sleeve on the positioning frame, ensuring that the sleeve is coaxial with the rebar cage after being screwed out, and ensuring effective transmission of connection information.

[0019] 5. The present invention proposes a method for fabricating segmental rebar cages without matching based on straight threaded sleeve connections. This method has low cost and a clear process, and can provide a new approach for the overall fabrication of segmental rebar cages based on straight threaded sleeve connections.
