Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of tensioning methods, and in particular to a pre-tensioning stepped compression method and apparatus. Background Technology
[0002] After steel wire ropes are twisted and formed on the production line, due to their spiral winding structure, structural loosening is inevitable. This causes unpredictable changes in length during use. Therefore, in most applications that require precise length control, a pre-tensioning process is necessary to eliminate structural elongation of the steel wire rope.
[0003] Pre-tensioning refers to the process of applying a load equivalent to approximately 10%-40% of the breaking strength of the wire rope after it has been twisted, and maintaining that load. Finished wire ropes are relatively long (approximately 1000 meters in a coil). Wire rope pre-tensioning equipment typically consists of two parts: a take-up end and a release end. The length of the middle section is determined by the size of the site, and the wire rope needs to be stretched segment by segment. Lever-type clamping structures are rationally designed, with clamping blocks distributed along a certain length, resulting in high friction and the ability to generate significant tension force on the wire rope. They offer many advantages and are widely used.
[0004] However, during the tensioning process, under the action of a large tension force, the wire rope between two adjacent clamping blocks will also elongate, resulting in displacement between the wire rope and the clamping blocks. Since the clamping force between the clamping blocks and the wire rope is large, the friction is also large, which will cause wear on the clamping blocks. The wear of the clamping blocks closer to the inside is greater. Moreover, the friction provided by each clamping block is not equal. The friction generated by the next clamping block depends on the displacement of the adjacent previous clamping block (along the wire rope towards the center of the equipment). In addition, it will also cause some damage to the wire rope.
[0005] To address this, a pre-tensioning stepped compression method and its apparatus are proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0033] Reference Figures 1-5 This invention provides a pre-tensioning stepwise compression method, comprising the following steps:
[0034] S1: Place the section of the wire rope 3 to be tensioned on N fixed end clamping parts 1 and N moving end clamping parts 2, without applying clamping force;
[0035] S2: Press down the outermost fixed end clamping member 1 and the outermost movable end clamping member 2 to clamp the wire rope 3, apply clamping force P, the movable end clamping member 2 moves, apply tension force F1 to the wire rope 3, and the wire rope 3 elongates by ΔX1.
[0036] S3: Press down the adjacent fixed end clamping member 1 and the moving end clamping member 2 on the inner side to clamp the wire rope 3 and apply clamping force P. The moving end clamping member 2 moves synchronously to apply tension force F1+F2 to the wire rope 3 and the wire rope 3 elongates to ΔX2.
[0037] S4: Continue in this manner until the innermost fixed end clamping member 1 and the moving end clamping member 2 are pressed down, clamping the wire rope 3 and applying a clamping force P. The moving end clamping member 2 moves synchronously, applying a tension force F1+F2+……+F to the wire rope 3. N The elongation of the steel wire rope 3 to ΔX N ;
[0038] The total preload required for wire rope 3 is F. 拉 F1+F2+……+F N equals F 拉 ;
[0039] When tensioning the wire rope 3, a method is adopted to tighten it in stages using the fixed end clamping member 1 and the moving end clamping member 2, and to gradually increase the tensile force. This method reduces the relative displacement of the wire rope 3 between two adjacent clamping members, improves the consistency of friction between each clamping member, enhances equipment performance, reduces wear on the clamping members, and improves the quality of the wire rope.
[0040] Further optimize the scheme, F1, F2...F N The values are equal, both being F. 拉 / N.
[0041] In step S2, F is applied. 拉 A tension of / N is applied in S3 at a rate of 2F. 拉 The pulling force is / N, and so on, gradually increasing, so that the frictional force contributed by each fixed end clamping member 1 and the moving end clamping member 2 is the same.
[0042] The scheme was further optimized, and the pressure P was set based on the friction coefficient of the steel wire rope 3.
[0043] A pre-tensioning stepped clamping device is also provided, comprising N fixed-end clamping members 1 and N movable-end clamping members 2, wherein the N fixed-end clamping members 1 and the N movable-end clamping members 2 are arranged sequentially along the tensioning direction of the wire rope 3.
[0044] In a further optimized design, a slide base 4 is provided below the mobile end clamping component 2, a slide 5 is slidably connected to the slide base 4, a drive component connected to the slide 5 is provided on the slide base 4, and N mobile end clamping components 2 are fixedly connected to the slide 5; N fixed end clamping components 1 are fixedly connected to the fixed base 14.
[0045] In a further optimized design, the mobile end clamping component 2 and the fixed end clamping component 1 each include a connecting platform 6. The connecting platform 6 on the mobile end clamping component 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the slide table 5, and the connecting platform 6 on the fixed end clamping component 1 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed base 14. A lower pressing block 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting platform 6, and an upper pressing block 8 is rotatably connected to the connecting platform 6. A driving part is provided on the connecting platform 6. The driving part is connected to the upper pressing block 8 and drives the upper pressing block 8 to approach or move away from the top of the lower pressing block 7. Through grooves 9 are respectively opened on the side walls opposite to the upper pressing block 8 and the lower pressing block 7. The steel wire rope 3 is pressed between the two through grooves 9.
[0046] In a further optimized design, the drive unit includes a clamping hydraulic cylinder 11 hinged to one side of the connecting platform 6. A support rod 12 is hinged to the piston rod of the clamping hydraulic cylinder 11. The end of the support rod 12 away from the clamping hydraulic cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to the upper pressure block 8. The support rod 12 is rotatably connected to the connecting platform 6 through a rotating shaft 10. The upper pressure block 8 and the clamping hydraulic cylinder 11 are located on both sides of the rotating shaft 10, respectively.
[0047] Further optimization of the scheme: the distance from the connection point of the upper pressure block 8 and the support rod 12 to the rotating shaft 10 is less than the distance from the connection point of the clamping hydraulic cylinder 11 and the support rod 12 to the rotating shaft 10.
[0048] The clamping hydraulic cylinder 11 forms a lever with the rotating shaft 10 through the support rod 12 to increase the clamping force.

[0050] The scheme is further optimized. The driving component includes a driving cylinder 13 fixedly connected to the slide base 4, and the piston rod of the driving cylinder 13 is fixedly connected to the slide 5.
[0051] In use, the steel wire rope 3 is tensioned in sections. The tensioned steel wire rope 3 is placed on the wire feeder for section feeding. The tensioned steel wire rope 3 is collected by the wire take-up device. The fixed end clamping member 1 is close to the wire feeder, and the moving end clamping member 2 is close to the wire take-up device. N sets of fixed end clamping members 1 and moving end clamping members 2 are respectively provided.
[0052] When tensioning a steel wire rope with a diameter φ, the required pre-tensioning force is set to F. 拉 The clamping hydraulic cylinders 11 on the outermost fixed end clamping member 1 and the moving end clamping member 2 are activated, causing the upper pressure block 8 to engage with the top of the lower pressure block 7, clamping the wire rope 3. A pressure P is preset according to the wire rope's friction coefficient. Subsequently, the drive cylinder 13 is activated, moving the slide table 5 and applying pressure F to the wire rope 3. 拉 With a tension of 1 / N, the wire rope elongates by ΔX1 within the clamping length L; Figure 1 As shown;
[0053] When the detected tension reaches F 拉 When / N, the clamping hydraulic cylinders 11 on the adjacent fixed end clamping member 1 and the moving end clamping member 2 are activated to apply clamping force P, thereby clamping the wire rope 3. Under the action of the drive cylinder 13, the slide table 5 continues to move, and the tension applied to the wire rope increases to 2F. 拉 / N, At this point, within the clamping length L, the elongation of the wire rope reaches ΔX2, such as Figure 4 ;
[0054] This process continues until the innermost fixed-end clamping member 1 and the moving-end clamping member 2 are pressed down, applying a clamping force P to press the wire rope 3 tightly, until the wire rope 3 reaches the preset tension value F. 拉 The elongation of the wire rope over a length L reaches ΔX. n ;like Figure 5 .
[0055] In conventional pretensioning equipment, since the wire rope 3 is tightened before the tension force F is applied... 拉 This ΔX n The wire rope 3 is pulled out entirely from between the pressure blocks, especially on the inner side, near the middle of the two sets of pressure blocks, which will experience severe wear. The slipped wire rope 3 will also be locally damaged (which may be a fatal defect for high-end wire ropes). Moreover, the friction (tension) contributed by each set of pressure blocks depends on the displacement generated on the adjacent inner side. With the stepped clamping method of this application, this displacement falls entirely outside the pressure blocks, and the friction contributed by each set of pressure blocks is the same. Under the same hydraulic power, the effective tension generated by the equipment is larger. The equipment has less pressure block wear and lower operating costs.
