The embodiment of the present application provides a crack treatment device based on SMA tensioning and a use method thereof, which has the effects of improving crack repair quality and preventing further cracking of cracks.
[0040] Embodiment 1
[0041] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A crack treatment device based on SMA tensioning includes a crack-limiting band 1 and a connecting ring 2, and the connecting ring 2 is provided at both ends of the crack-limiting band 1. The crack-limiting band 1 is made of an iron-based memory alloy, and the surface of the crack-limiting band 1 is provided with an epoxy resin protective layer 3, and the thickness of the epoxy resin protective layer 3 is not less than 5 mm. When the crack-limiting band 1 is connected, the connecting ring 2 at both ends of the crack-limiting band 1 is connected and bonded to the concrete structure by an epoxy resin adhesive.
[0042] Embodiment 2
[0043] Referring to Figures 3-5, the difference between embodiment 2 and embodiment 1 is that one connecting piece for connecting with concrete is arranged on each connecting ring 2, the connecting piece comprises a high-strength bolt 4 and a fastening nut 11. The high-strength bolt 4 passes through the connecting ring 2, the high-strength bolt 4 is hollowly arranged, and the fastening nut 11 is threadedly connected to the high-strength bolt 4 and is arranged in abutment with the top surface of the crack-limiting zone 1. A plurality of communicating inclined holes 41 are formed in the peripheral wall of the high-strength bolt 4 in a circumferential direction, and the plurality of communicating inclined holes 41 are arranged in communication with the inner cavity of the high-strength bolt 4. A tension strip 5 is arranged in the high-strength bolt 4 along the length direction of the high-strength bolt 4, the top end of the tension strip 5 extends out of the inner cavity of the high-strength bolt 4 and is connected with a pull ring 8, and the bottom end of the tension strip 5 is connected with a connecting block 6. A plurality of insertion strips 7 are fixedly connected to the connecting block 6 in a circumferential direction, the ends of the plurality of insertion strips 7 away from the connecting block 6 are inclinedly upwardly extended and are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of communicating inclined holes 41, and the ends of the insertion strips 7 are inserted into the communicating inclined holes 41. An abutting ratchet tooth 10 is fixedly connected to the inner ring wall of the high-strength bolt 4 along the length direction of the high-strength bolt 4, and an abutting piece 9 is connected to the tension strip 5, the end of the abutting piece 9 away from the tension strip 5 is arranged in an inclined downward direction, and the abutting piece 9 is clamped between two adjacent teeth of the abutting ratchet tooth 10. The tension strip 5, the connecting block 6, the insertion strips 7, the connecting block 6 and the abutting piece 9 are made of elastic PVC material.
[0044] With reference to Figure 4 and Figure 5 When the crack-limiting zone 1 is connected with the concrete structure, a hole is drilled at a suitable position on the concrete structure and the dust in the hole is cleaned, a chemical agent is put into the hole, and the chemical agent is mixed from substances such as vertical vinyl, quartz particles and curing agent. The bottom end of the high-strength bolt 4 is inserted into the hole by screwing, the chemical agent in the hole is broken and naturally expands.

After the connection of the high-strength bolt 4 is completed, the tension strip 5 is pulled outwards through the pull ring 8, the insertion strips 7 pass out of the connecting inclined holes and are inserted into the chemical agent mixture, so as to further improve the connection strength of the high-strength bolt 4. The abutting piece 9 abuts against two adjacent teeth of the abutting ratchet tooth 10, so as to achieve one-way positioning of the tension strip 5 and reduce the possibility that the insertion strips 7 are retracted into the high-strength bolt 4.
[0045] With reference to Figure 1 and Figure 3A method for using a crack treatment device based on SMA tensioning, comprising the following steps: when repairing a crack, calculating the cracking load of the concrete member according to the Code for Design of Concrete Structures GB50010-2010. The cross-sectional area of the crack limiting zone 1 and the recovery load size are determined according to the cracking load. The cross section of the crack limiting zone 1 in the application can be designed into various shapes such as circular, square or oval according to needs. The tensile force calculation formula of the memory alloy is: F = n * S * sigma (n is the number of SMA crack limiting zone 1, S is the cross-sectional area of SMA crack limiting zone 1, and sigma is the recovery coefficient of iron-based memory alloy material deformation).
[0046] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 , according to the size and length of the crack, the position of the crack limiting zone 1 is determined along the direction of the crack, and the direction of the crack limiting zone 1 remains perpendicular to the direction of the crack. The interval between adjacent crack limiting zones 1 is at least the width of one crack limiting zone 1. According to the determined position of the crack limiting zone 1, grooving is performed, the grooving shape is correspondingly arranged with the shape of the crack limiting zone 1, and the floating dust in the crack and the crack limiting zone 1 is cleaned. First, the bottom surface of the crack limiting zone 1 is coated with epoxy resin adhesive, then the crack limiting zone 1 is placed in the grooving position of the crack limiting zone 1, and the connecting ring 2 at both ends is connected to the concrete structure. The grooving position of the crack limiting zone 1 is sealed and smoothed using epoxy resin adhesive and is allowed to solidify, ensuring that the thickness of the epoxy resin protective layer 3 on the surface of the crack limiting zone 1 is not less than 5mm, and a hole for energizing the crack limiting zone 1 is reserved on the epoxy resin protective layer 3.
[0047] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , after the connection of the crack limiting zone 1 is completed, the crack limiting zone 1 is energized to generate prestress, which helps to prevent the crack from further cracking by pulling the concrete structure on both sides of the crack. Since the iron-based memory alloy has a one-way memory effect, it can continuously pull the structure on both sides of the crack. Since the crack limiting zone 1 remains perpendicular to the direction of the crack, the prestress of the crack limiting zone 1 can be maximally applied to the concrete on both sides of the crack, reducing the possibility of further cracking of the crack. The surface of the concrete is closed treated, and the surface layer of the concrete is provided with a closed treatment layer 12, which protects the crack limiting zone 1 and prevents the crack limiting zone 1 from rusting due to moisture.
[0048] The implementation principle of the crack treatment device based on SMA tensioning and the method for using the same in the embodiment of the application is that the crack limiting zone 1 made of iron-based memory alloy is connected to the concrete structure on both sides of the crack, and the crack limiting zone 1 is energized, the length of the crack limiting zone 1 is shortened, and the concrete on both ends is continuously pulled, which prevents the crack from further cracking.
[0049] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the protection scope of the present application, so that: all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, principle of the present application should be covered in the protection scope of the present application.
