Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of steel structure fall protection technology, and in particular to a steel-supported fall protection safety mechanism and its construction method. Background Technology
[0002] In traditional steel bracing systems, the connection between the steel bracing and the steel walers is relatively simple, often relying on ordinary bolts or welding for fixing. However, these conventional connection methods reveal many shortcomings in complex engineering environments. For example, during long-term construction, due to factors such as settlement and displacement of the surrounding soil, as well as vibration and impact during construction, ordinary bolt connections are prone to loosening, leading to decreased stability of the steel bracing and a risk of collapse. While welded connections have high initial strength, they lack flexibility in later maintenance, adjustment, and handling of dynamic load changes. Once a small crack or damage occurs at the weld, it can rapidly propagate, endangering the safety of the entire steel bracing system.
[0003] Furthermore, traditional techniques for controlling the vertical displacement of steel supports are often insufficiently precise and effective. The lack of specially designed fall protection and displacement limiting devices means that when steel supports are subjected to unexpected loads or uneven soil settlement, significant vertical displacement may occur, potentially compromising the integrity of the foundation pit retaining structure and leading to serious accidents such as foundation pit collapse. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an innovative steel support fall protection safety mechanism and a compatible construction method to address the problems of unstable steel support connections, poor fall protection performance, and insufficient vertical displacement control in existing technologies. This is crucial for ensuring safe and efficient construction of foundation pit projects and improving the overall quality and safety of building projects. Therefore, a steel support fall protection safety mechanism and its construction method are proposed to solve the aforementioned problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings mentioned above by providing a steel-supported fall prevention safety mechanism and its construction method, thereby enabling safe and efficient construction of foundation pit projects and improving the overall quality and safety of building projects.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a steel-supported fall-prevention safety mechanism, comprising:
[0006] The hanging components are provided in two sets. Each hanging component includes a fixed plate, a supporting plate, and a connecting bracket. The supporting plate is vertically mounted on the fixed plate. The connecting bracket is used to connect the fixed plate and the supporting plate. The fixed plate has a key-shaped hole and a snap-fit component.
[0007] A clamp is provided on a hanging member through a keyhole, and the hanging member is fixed to the waler by the clamp and a snap-fit member.
[0008] A suspension component, comprising a steel strand cable and an anchor, wherein a limiting hole is provided on the support plate, and the steel strand cable is fixed in the limiting hole on the support plate by the anchor, and the steel strand cable is used to support the steel support;
[0009] A fixed weldment is fixed to the steel sheet pile;
[0010] Turnbuckle, with connecting hooks at both ends, the turnbuckle connects the fixed weldment and the hanging component through the connecting hooks.
[0011] Furthermore, the support plate has multiple sets of limiting holes, which are equidistantly distributed.
[0012] The keyway is elongated.
[0013] Furthermore, the clamp includes an adjusting bolt, an elastic washer, a slider, and a clamping plate. The slider slides vertically within the keyway to adjust the position of the clamp.
[0014] The slider is provided with a threaded hole, which is adapted to the thread of the adjusting bolt;
[0015] The clamping plate has a through hole, the elastic washer is located between the slider and the clamping plate, and the adjusting bolt passes through the clamping plate, the elastic washer and the slider, and the adjusting bolt cooperates with the slider to fix the position of the clamp.
[0016] Furthermore, the snap-fit component is located at the bottom of the side facing the waler, and the snap-fit component has a snap-fit groove that is adapted to the waler.
[0017] Furthermore, a spring is fitted onto the adjusting bolt to abut against the pressure plate, and the spring is used to provide axial preload.
[0018] Furthermore, on the fixed weldment welded to the sheet pile, one end of the turnbuckle is connected to the fixed weldment via a steel wire rope, and the other end of the turnbuckle is connected to the hanging component via a steel wire rope passing through the key hole. The turnbuckle is used to provide tension to the limiting hole.
[0019] Another technical solution described in this invention is: a construction method for a steel-supported fall arrest safety mechanism, comprising the following steps:
[0020] S1. Construction of the main structure of the foundation pit retaining wall: Complete the construction of steel sheet piles, walers and steel supports according to the design requirements.
[0021] S2. Installation of the hanging component: Adjust the adjusting bolts of the clamp to make the clamp loose and raised, align the vertical steel plate of the hanging component with the waler, then make the slot at the bottom of the hanging component engage with the bottom of the waler, lower the clamp and tighten the adjusting bolts to complete the installation of the hanging component.
[0022] S3. Installation of suspension components: Prepare steel strands of appropriate length, pass both ends of the steel strands through the limiting holes opened in the hanging components, and reserve sufficient anchoring distance. Anchor the steel strands to the hanging components through anchors so that the two form a whole.
[0023] S4. Turnbuckle installation: Weld the fixing weldment to the corresponding position on the steel sheet pile surface according to the position of the steel support and the hanging component. Prepare two steel wire ropes of appropriate length. Tie one steel wire rope to the fixing weldment and connect it to the turnbuckle. Pass the other steel wire rope through the key hole and tie it to the hanging component and connect it to the turnbuckle. Adjust the turnbuckle to generate tension and play a tying role.
[0024] S5. Quality Inspection: Conduct quality inspections on all structures of the completed fall arrest mechanism, including visual inspection of the connection parts, dimensional measurement, and mechanical performance testing, to ensure that the connection quality meets the design requirements.
[0025] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0026] 1. Excellent fall protection performance: The hanging components are tightly connected to the walers through the slots and further stabilized with the clamps, effectively preventing the steel supports from falling due to loose connections. The combination of steel strand cables and anchors of the suspension components provides reliable lifting and limiting effects on the steel supports from below, greatly improving the safety of the construction site and reducing the risk of personal injury and engineering accidents caused by the falling of steel supports.
[0027] 2. Reliable connection stability: The keyed holes and limiting holes designed on the steel plate enable precise installation of the clamps and suspension components. When all components work together, the force is evenly and reasonably distributed, effectively avoiding connection failure caused by local stress concentration. The spring at one end of the adjusting bolt has the characteristics of anti-loosening and compensating for axial preload. It can automatically adapt to changes in preload caused by material deformation, temperature changes and other factors during long-term use, always maintaining the tightness of the connection and ensuring the reliability and durability of the entire steel support connection system.
[0028] 3. Excellent adaptability and adjustability: The design of the slots and clamps for the hanging components allows it to adapt to steel walers of different specifications and shapes, making it widely applicable and convenient for quick and easy installation and adjustment. This reduces construction difficulties caused by material differences and improves construction efficiency. The slider in the clamp can slide vertically in the keyhole, and the height of the clamp can be flexibly adjusted according to actual installation requirements, facilitating precise installation and positioning of the steel support under different working conditions.
[0029] 4. The use of turnbuckles further enhances the adjustability of the entire mechanism. By adjusting the tension of the turnbuckles, the stress state of the steel support can be fine-tuned according to the actual engineering situation, so that it can better adapt to various complex stress changes during the foundation pit support process and optimize the mechanical performance of the entire foundation pit support structure.
