Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of main cable erection of suspension bridges, and more specifically, relates to a cable saddle with pressure resistance and wear reduction for anchoring and a cable strand anchoring method. Background Art

[0002] In the design of long-span bridges, suspension bridges are widely adopted due to their simple structure, clear force, low unit cost, and beautiful appearance. In general, a suspension bridge is supported and turned by two parallel or nearly parallel main cables on the main tower to bear the dynamic and static loads of the bridge. When the main cable anchorage space is limited, there are other technical requirements for bridge stiffness, and the overall landscape design requirements of the bridge are encountered in the construction of the suspension bridge, the main cables on both sides of the saddle will produce unbalanced forces, and the saddle will slip due to the force difference. And it will cause the outer groove wall of the main cable saddle groove to bear a huge force, which is especially prominent when the arc-shaped turning angle of the main cable of the suspension bridge in the lateral direction (i.e., the width direction of the suspension bridge) is large, which will pose a higher technical challenge to the force strength and force stability of the main cable saddle.

[0003] The commonly used technical means on the market at present is to arrange two saddle heads with two-dimensional saddle grooves on the same base at a specific angle. Each saddle head can support and guide the main cable in the three dimensions of length, height and width of the suspension bridge by using the bottom as the main force-bearing surface. The Chinese patent with publication number CN110029578A discloses a main cable saddle for a space cable suspension bridge, including a saddle head 1 and a saddle head 2 arranged on the same base, and the saddle head 1 has a saddle groove 1 with a concave structure and a curved bottom along the length direction of the saddle head 1, which is used to support the main cable, and the saddle head 2 has a saddle groove 2 with a concave structure and a curved bottom along the length direction of the saddle head 2, which is used to support the main cable, and the upper extension line of the width center line of the saddle groove 1 and the upper extension line of the width center line of the saddle groove 2 form an acute angle.

[0004] The Chinese patent with publication number CN110029578A can support and guide the main cable in the three dimensions of length, height and width of the suspension bridge, and has good force strength and force stability. However, the device only adds one dimension of arrangement and steering in the width direction of the bridge, and does not fundamentally change the force on the saddle. It does not make too many changes in the pressure condition of the device, and still cannot cope with higher pressure and reduce lateral displacement. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a pressure-resistant saddle to solve the problem of slippage of the main cable due to unbalanced force. Summary of the invention

In addition, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a cable saddle for anchor pressure resistance and wear reduction, comprising a saddle body 1 that provides support for the entire cable saddle, a saddle head 2 disposed on the saddle body 1, an anchor 3 disposed on the saddle head 2, and a load-bearing plate 4 disposed between the bottom of the saddle body 1 and the top of the bridge tower. A design of using double saddle heads in parallel on the basis of a conventional single saddle head can better withstand the tension of a suspension cable or a cable-stayed cable, avoid problems such as damage or breakage that may occur in a single saddle head design, thereby improving the safety of a bridge or cable-stayed cable structure, providing better support and stability, and making the cable saddle more firmly fixed on the top of the tower, thereby reducing vibration and shaking caused by factors such as wind, and adapting to suspension cables or cable-stayed cables of different diameters and specifications, thereby facilitating the construction and maintenance of a bridge or cable-stayed cable structure. A new anchor 3 is added to the saddle head 2, and part of the cable strands are replaced by a pair of back cables, which are cross-anchored on the anchor beam on the opposite side. Compared with the traditional saddle structure, the pair of anchor saddles increases the force transmission path of the cable strands, and turns the side walls of the saddle groove into direct load-bearing components of the cable force, so that the force on the saddle is more uniform, which is beneficial to reducing the unbalanced force of the main cables on both sides of the saddle, and can increase the nominal friction coefficient and anti-skid safety factor of the main cable, thereby improving the anti-skid stability performance between the cable and the saddle groove 21.

[0044] The saddle body 1 includes a base 11 arranged at the bottom, longitudinal ribs 12 fixed on the base 11, and transverse ribs 13 installed between the longitudinal ribs 12 to strengthen the fixation thereof. The bottom of the base 11 is a square plate structure, and a plurality of vertical plates are arranged on the square bottom plate. The vertical plates are formed by opening a door-shaped hole at the bottom edge of the trapezoidal plate, and a piece of special-shaped plate is symmetrically cut off at the two top corners. The vertical plates are arranged in parallel from one edge of the bottom plate to the other edge and increase step by step. The position of the special-shaped plate cutting also increases accordingly, and a plurality of holes are opened on the top of the highest vertical plate. An inclined plate is arranged on both sides of the parallel vertical plates. The inclination of the inclined plate is the same as that of the bevel of the vertical plate, and the top is slightly higher than the bevel cut-off part of the vertical plate. The top of the inclined plate is an arc surface, which smoothly transitions between the vertical plates. The longitudinal ribs 12 are fixed on both sides of the vertical plates of the base 11, and the two sandwich the inclined plates of the base 11 in the middle, and the same special-shaped plates are cut out on the longitudinal ribs 12 with the center line of the inclined plates as the axis of symmetry to form a groove together. The height of the longitudinal ribs 12 changes with the height of the vertical plates of the base 11. The transverse ribs 13 are a layer, fixed in the gap between the longitudinal ribs 12 and the inclined plates of the base 11, and strengthen the connection strength between the base 11 and the longitudinal ribs 12. A fixing seat is set on the side of the longitudinal ribs 12, which is used to fix the cable saddle when it is installed on the bridge tower to prevent it from sliding due to external forces during later use and causing damage to the bridge. The rigidity and strength of the saddle are increased, making the saddle more stable and reliable when subjected to tension, providing additional support and stability, keeping the saddle stable under various environmental conditions, reducing vibration and deformation, reducing the wear and fatigue of the saddle during long-term use, extending its service life, making the saddle better resist the influence of wind, reducing wind vibration and wind-induced displacement, improving the wind resistance of bridges or cable-suspended structures, making the saddle more convenient and flexible during manufacturing, transportation, installation and maintenance, and improving construction efficiency and maintenance convenience.

[0045] The saddle head 2 includes a saddle groove 21 fixed in the groove formed by the vertical plate of the bottom plate 11 and the longitudinal rib 12, a partition 22 fixed in the saddle groove 21, a pressure plate 23 provided on the partition 22 for fixing and pressing it, and a transverse steel pull rod 24 fixed on the saddle groove 21. The saddle groove 21 is an arc columnar structure with the same curvature as the vertical plate of the base 11, and the bottom is the same shape as the groove formed by the vertical plate of the bottom plate 11 and the longitudinal rib 12. The top is opened with a deep groove downward, and the bottom of the groove is a stepped arrangement with the middle low and the two sides high, and a small groove is opened along the corner edge at the bottom corner of each step. A lifting ear is fixed on the outer side of the saddle groove 21, and through holes are symmetrically opened on both sides along the top edge. The partition 22 is an arc ring plate with the same curvature as the saddle groove 21. The partition 22 is a plurality of arc ring plates, which are fixed in parallel to each other in the small groove in the saddle groove 21, and are used to separate multiple steel cables installed at the same time to reduce the friction between the steel cables. The bottom of the pressure plate 23 is a rectangular bottom plate, which contacts the top surface of the partition plate 22. An adjustment plate is fixed on the rectangular bottom plate. The two ends of the adjustment plate are inclined surfaces, and an adjustment block is provided on each inclined surface to slide along the inclined surface. The top of the adjustment block has an arc-shaped notch, and through holes are provided at both ends. The adjustment blocks on the two inclined surfaces are connected together by slender bolts, and the distance between the two adjustment blocks is adjusted by bolts. A support pier is fixed at the bottom of the saddle groove 21, and its shape is the same as its bottom profile, and its width is the same as the width of the vertical plate of the bottom plate 11. After being welded to the saddle groove 21 as a whole, it is fixed to the vertical plate of the bottom plate 11. The transverse steel tie rod 24 is a slender round rod structure, with threads at both ends, installed in the edge hole on the saddle groove 21, fixed with a nut, and the distance between the two side walls of the saddle groove 21 can be adjusted by the nut to clamp the cable strand in the middle. The pressure plate 23 is arranged between the transverse steel tie rod 24 and the partition 22. The transverse steel tie rod 24 is pressed into the arc-shaped notch on the adjustment block of the pressure plate 23. When the distance between the adjustment blocks is adjusted, the position of the adjustment block on the adjustment plate will become higher. Under the downward force of the transverse steel tie rod 24, pressure is applied to the cable strands between the partitions 22, increasing the friction between the main cable and the saddle groove 21. The bridge bears the tension and pressure transmitted by the main cable, ensures the safety and stability of the bridge, avoids sliding, displacement or deformation when bearing tension, maintains the stability of the main cable, and is easy to maintain and inspect, ensuring the safety and efficiency of construction and maintenance, and enhancing the rigidity of the saddle groove, so that the saddle groove is not easily deformed when bearing pressure, thereby improving the rigidity of the entire system.

[0046] The anchor 3 includes a steel corbel 31 fixed on the saddle groove 21 and an anchor head 32 fixed at one end of the steel corbel 31. The steel corbel 31 is a special-shaped plate structure, with straight sides and top, and the bottom has the same curvature as the top of the saddle groove 21. The bottom is fixedly connected to the top of the saddle groove 21 and formed as a whole with its side wall. A connecting plate is welded on the side, and a plurality of through holes are opened on the connecting plate. The bottom surface of the anchor head 32 is a square plate, the width of which is the same as the width of the saddle groove 21. A side plate is symmetrically arranged on the two side edges of the bottom square plate as an anchor beam 321. A connecting plate is welded on one end of the anchor beam 321, and a plurality of through holes are opened on the connecting plate.

Part of the steel cables in the main cable are replaced with paired back cables, wherein the back cables are half the length of the main cable, and the back cables are pulled through the saddle groove (21) to the opposite anchor head 32 and fixed in the anchor hole 322. The other steel cables in the main cable are installed in a traditional manner, which increases the force transmission path of the cable strands and converts the side walls of the saddle groove into direct load-bearing components of the cable force, making the force on the saddle more uniform, which is beneficial to reducing the unbalanced force of the main cables on both sides of the saddle, and can improve the nominal friction coefficient and anti-skid safety factor of the main cable, thereby improving the anti-skid stability performance between the cable saddles.

[0047] Preferably, the pommel 2 and the anchor 3 are used in pairs and are symmetrically fixed on the saddle body 1. The above structure is only half of the saddle structure. During installation, the two halves of the same structure are aligned and assembled together at the higher end, and then fixed with bolts to form a complete saddle, and then the main cable is anchored.

[0048] like Figure 5 As shown, a pressure-resistant and wear-reducing saddle for anchoring in an embodiment of the present invention is compared with a traditional saddle by a comparison of force analysis, thereby increasing the force transmission path of the cable strands and turning the side walls of the saddle groove into direct load-bearing components of the cable force, thereby making the force on the saddle more uniform, which is beneficial to reducing the unbalanced force of the main cables on both sides of the saddle, and can increase the nominal friction coefficient and anti-skid safety factor of the main cables, thereby improving the anti-skid stability performance between the cable saddles.

The top surface is fixed to the bottom plate of the base 11, and a large shallow groove is opened on the bottom surface, in which a modified polyformaldehyde wear-reducing plate is embedded. During installation, the saddle is easily moved to the designed position on the bridge tower for installation through the friction pair composed of the modified polyformaldehyde wear-reducing plate between the lower plate 41 and the upper plate 42, without causing damage to other parts of the device.
