Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of grouting sleeves, and in particular to a novel grouting sleeve connector and method suitable for a nuclear power plant. Background Art

[0002] The thickness of the shear wall in a nuclear power plant is generally large, and the diameter of the horizontal and longitudinal steel bars is also large. The construction efficiency is low when relying on the method of manually tying steel bars on site. In addition, due to the large diameter of the main bars, it is extremely difficult to bend and adjust the steel bars on site, the difficulty of controlling the spacing of the steel bars is great, the positioning accuracy is poor, and the quality and consistency of the tying are difficult to guarantee. Therefore, prefabricated assembled shear walls are suitable for the application scenarios of nuclear power plants. However, due to the limitations of comprehensive reasons such as hoisting capacity, it is difficult to implement the prefabrication of the entire shear wall. At present, the most commonly used method is to use a steel cage, which is to pre-tie the horizontal and longitudinal steel bars to form a steel mesh or steel module, and then hoist it into place and pour concrete. Generally, the vertical steel bars of the steel module are connected by extrusion sleeves, and the horizontal steel bars are connected by overlapping. The vertical steel bars are in place first, and the horizontal steel bars are staggered. Due to the use of 100% overlap joints, the steel bars are very dense at the overlap, and due to the large diameter of the steel bars, the overlap length is also long. Therefore, in actual construction, the overlap area is very difficult to install embedded parts. Therefore, solving the connection of the transverse steel bars is a key issue in improving the utilization rate of the steel module.

[0003] Regarding the connection problem of steel bars, the more mature methods currently include grouting sleeves, extrusion sleeves, overlaps, and the like. Since the vertical steel bars are in place first, it is basically difficult to align the horizontal steel bars after the vertical steel bars are in place, and it is inevitable that they will be misaligned, so they can no longer be connected using conventional mechanical connectors. Therefore, it is necessary to research and develop new connectors, on the one hand to solve the problem of misalignment of steel bars, and on the other hand to solve the problem of eccentricity after the steel bars are connected. The prior art proposes an anti-eccentric grouting sleeve, in which a limiter is set inside the grouting sleeve to prevent eccentricity. This method is suitable for thin steel bars, and the density of the complex casting inside the device is difficult to ensure; in addition, the prior art also proposes an anti-eccentric combined grouting sleeve. This patent achieves the effect of anti-eccentricity by setting bolts and internal grooves on the grouting sleeve to clamp the steel bars. The above solution cannot be applied to the construction of steel bar modules, that is, when the steel bars are actually misaligned by a large distance, a simple grouting sleeve is used to connect. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a new type of grouting sleeve connector and method suitable for nuclear power plants, which can achieve effective connection of steel bars and solve the problems caused by eccentricity, and the misaligned steel bars can be grouted and formed in one time in the grouting sleeve.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] In a typical embodiment of the present invention, a new type of grouting sleeve connector suitable for nuclear power plants is proposed, such as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, it includes a sleeve body 1, in which a first grouting channel 2 and a second grouting channel 3 are arranged, and the first grouting channel 2 and the second grouting channel 3 are connected through an intermediate channel 4, so that the entire grouting channel is Z-shaped; a first steel bar 5 is installed in the first grouting channel 1, and a first steel strand 7 is arranged on the extension line of the first grouting channel 1, and a first end plate 9 is installed on the end of the first steel strand 7; a second steel bar 6 is installed in the second grouting channel 3, and a second steel strand 8 is arranged on the extension line of the second grouting channel 3, and a second end plate 10 is installed on the end of the second steel strand 8.

[0032] In this embodiment, a grouting hole 11 and a grouting hole 12 are provided on the side wall of the sleeve body 1. The grouting hole 11 is connected to the first grouting channel 2, and the axis of the grouting hole 11 is perpendicular to the axis of the first grouting channel 2. The grouting hole 12 is connected to the second grouting channel 3, and the axis of the grouting hole 12 is perpendicular to the axis of the second grouting channel 3. The grouting hole and the grouting hole are arranged in the staggered steel bar holes, and the two holes are not aligned but are connected in the sleeve connector, which is convenient for grouting and forming in one step.

[0033] In this embodiment, the openings of the first grouting channel 2 and the second grouting channel 3 are respectively located on the end faces of the sleeve body 1 to achieve the connection of the two horizontal steel bars. By staggering the two steel bar holes and the two steel strands, the anchoring force of the steel strands in the sleeve body is used to balance the bending moment generated when the steel bars at both ends are pulled, thereby achieving the balance of the bending moment during the tension process. In addition to steel strands, other high-strength steels can also be used to balance the torque to achieve force balance. In this embodiment, the end plate generally adopts a square plate, which strengthens the balance of the bending moment.

[0034] In this embodiment, an annular rib 14 is provided on the inner wall surface of the first grouting channel 2 and the second grouting channel 3. The annular rib 14 has a certain curvature and is bent toward the end surface of the sleeve to increase the bonding force between the grouting material and the steel bar and the sleeve connector. In some other implementations of this embodiment, the annular rib can be set in a wedge shape or some existing limiting devices can be added.

[0035] In this embodiment, the steel strands, the end plate and the sleeve body are an integrally formed structure, that is, the steel strands and the end plate are processed and formed in one step during the production process of the sleeve connector.

[0036] In this embodiment, the diameter of the grouting channel is larger than the diameter of the steel bar, and a rubber plug 13 is provided at the opening of the grouting channel, and the steel bar enters the grouting channel after passing through the rubber plug. In some other implementations of this embodiment, if the spacing between the steel bars is too large, multiple channels can be considered to be provided, and multiple channels can be arranged side by side. In the actual installation process, a suitable channel is selected to pass the steel bar, so that the connector can be made into a standard part.

[0037] In this embodiment, the rubber plug 13 adopts a wedge-shaped structure with a circular through hole. The circular through hole is convenient for the passage of steel bars, and the wedge-shaped structure is convenient for installation at the rear of the grouting channel to fix the steel bars in the sleeve connector.

[0038] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the sleeve body is elliptical, and the thickness setting of the sleeve body, the size of the steel bar hole, the selection of the steel strand (nominal diameter and length), and the size of the end plate can all be formed through calculation to form a standard selection design manual to form standard parts.

[0039] The principle of using steel strands to balance torque in the new grouting sleeve connector suitable for nuclear power plants provided in this embodiment is that the connector allows the steel bars to be misplaced, generating eccentric torque, and the bending moment is resisted by arranging steel strands and end plates on the connector, thereby achieving effective connection of the steel bars and solving the problems caused by eccentricity, and the misplaced steel bars can be grouted and formed in one time.

[0040] The present invention solves the problem that the embedded parts of the steel bars are difficult to install due to the overlap of horizontal steel bars in nuclear power plants. The new grouting sleeve connector can adjust the length of the steel strand and the spacing between the steel strand and the channel according to the force and the actual deviation that is easy to cause, forming a standard product; compared with other high-strength steel bars, the use of steel strands reduces the diameter, which is convenient for the overlap installation of horizontal steel bars. In addition, it also solves the problem of torsion of the connector caused by the eccentricity of the steel bars. The present invention can achieve a torsion-free situation by calculating and analyzing the envelope design and balancing the torsion force. The curved grouting channel is set, and the grouting is completed in one time. An annular rib is set inside to enhance the bonding force between the grouting and the connector.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] In a typical embodiment of the present invention, a method for using a new type of grouting sleeve connector suitable for a nuclear power plant is provided. Figure 4 The sub-block steel cage shown in the figure is equipped with additional foundation steel bars. Then the steel cage is hoisted, and the limit fixture is used to prevent the steel cage from deformation. The steel bars reserved for the foundation and the longitudinal steel bars of the steel cage are corrected to align them. The existing extrusion sleeve is used to connect and complete the connection of the longitudinal steel bars. Finally, the horizontal steel bars of the two adjacent sub-block steel cages are connected using the grouting sleeve connector, which specifically includes:

[0043] Check the alignment of the horizontal reinforcement. The horizontal reinforcement without deviation is directly connected by extrusion sleeve. The horizontal reinforcement with deviation is connected by new grouting sleeve connector. The specific steps include:

[0044] Select a sleeve connector of suitable size according to the deviation, install a rubber plug, and install the first steel bar and the second steel bar into the first grouting channel and the second channel respectively;

[0045] Adjust the position of the sleeve body to ensure that the steel bars and strands are on the same vertical plane;

[0046] Inject grout into the grouting hole and complete the grouting in one go until slurry comes out of the grouting hole.

[0047] Furthermore, after the connection of the horizontal reinforcement is completed, the operations can be performed in sequence until the entire wall is assembled.

[0048] Although the above describes the specific implementation mode of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, it is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications or variations that can be made by those skilled in the art on the basis of the technical solution of the present invention without creative work are still within the scope of protection of the present invention.
