Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an improvement of a method for measuring the inner hole of a cable clamp of a suspension bridge, belongs to the field of bridge measurement, and in particular to a method for measuring the inner hole of a cable clamp of a suspension bridge. Background Art

[0002] The cable clamp is a key connecting component between the main cable and the suspender of a suspension bridge. It transfers the tension of the suspender to the main cable, thereby transferring the structural deadweight of the bridge and vehicle loads to the main cable, ensuring the force balance of the overall structure of the bridge. The position and installation accuracy of the cable clamp directly affect the linear shape of the main cable, and thus affect the structural performance and use function of the bridge. Reasonable cable clamp layout and installation can ensure that the linear shape of the main cable meets the design requirements and improve the span capacity and stability of the bridge. The inner hole diameter of the cable clamp is an important factor affecting whether the cable clamp can clamp the main cable and whether the cable clamp will slip with the main cable under the gravity load of the steel beam and the bridge deck. Most of the existing measurement methods are performed manually, and the measurement results mainly rely on the operator's experience, feel and reading angle. This method is prone to errors, resulting in deviations and inaccuracies in the measurement results.

[0003] The Chinese patent application with application number CN202011326557.6 and application date November 24, 2020 discloses an automated online monitoring method and system for cable clamp slippage, and a readable storage medium. The displacement data of the cable clamp relative to the main cable collected by the displacement meter is sampled according to a preset sampling frequency, and the temperature data collected by the thermometer is sampled. The average temperature vector T of the same cross-section temperature of the main cable is obtained according to the temperature data, and the displacement monitoring vector X of the cable clamp relative to the main cable is obtained according to the displacement data. According to the linear correlation equation between the average temperature vector and the displacement monitoring vector, the corrected cable clamp slippage value is obtained. The above scheme can combine the thermometer measurement results and the displacement meter measurement results, and after algorithm correction, the temperature influence is eliminated to obtain an accurate cable clamp slippage value, but it does not solve the problem of inaccurate measurement results of the cable clamp inner hole.

[0007] In the first step, the machining dimensions and deviation values ​​of the inner hole diameter of the cable clamp are first obtained to obtain the measurement reference dimensions of the inner hole diameter of the cable clamp, specifically: S1. Calculate the maximum limit size Dmax of the inner hole of the cable clamp based on the theoretical basic size D0 of the inner hole of the cable clamp and the upper deviation ES, Dmax = D0 + ES; S2. Calculate the minimum limit size Dmin of the inner hole of the cable clamp based on the theoretical basic size D0 of the inner hole of the cable clamp and the lower deviation EI, Dmin = D0 + EI; S3. Calculate the measurement reference size D of the inner hole of the cable clamp using the maximum limit size Dmax and the minimum limit size Dmin of the inner hole of the cable clamp. j , D j =Dmax +Dmin / 2.

[0008] The measuring device includes a measuring unit, a display unit and a clamping assembly unit; The measuring unit includes a measuring rod, a first measuring head, a second measuring head, a connecting seat, a spring, a sliding column and a measuring column, wherein the second measuring head and the first measuring head are respectively abutted against the left and right sides of the inner wall of the cable clamp, an end of the first measuring head away from the inner wall of the cable clamp is connected to one end of the measuring rod, and the other end of the measuring rod is connected to one end of the connecting seat, a spring is provided in the inner cavity of the connecting seat, one end of the spring is connected to the other end of the measuring rod, and the other end of the spring is connected to the side of the sliding column, the sliding column is movably matched with the inner cavity, and the end of the second measuring head away from the inner wall of the cable clamp is embedded in the sliding column; The clamping assembly unit is sleeved on the outer side of the measuring rod, and the clamping assembly unit includes a clamping seat, a connecting rod and a handle. The clamping slot of the clamping seat is engaged with the outer side of the measuring rod, the top of the clamping seat is connected to the bottom of the connecting rod, and the top of the connecting rod is provided with a handle; The display unit includes a scale, a display and a contact. A measuring column with one end passing through the sliding column is inserted into the top of the connecting seat. The side of the measuring column contacts the end of the second measuring head away from the inner wall of the cable clamp. A scale is installed on the measuring column. The scale is set on the top of the connecting seat, the scale is connected to the display, and one end of the contact is connected to the end of the first measuring head away from the inner wall of the cable clamp.

[0009] The interior of the connecting rod is sleeved with an adjusting rod which moves longitudinally, and the upper end of the adjusting rod is connected to the handle.

[0010] The measuring rod includes a first measuring shaft and at least one second measuring shaft, a first measuring head is inserted into the right side of the first measuring shaft, the first measuring head and the first measuring shaft are fixed by a locking nut, and the left side of the first measuring shaft is inserted into the right side of the second measuring shaft; The adjacent second measuring shafts are plugged in, and the left side of the leftmost second measuring shaft is plugged in with the right side of the connecting seat.

[0011] A first thread groove is provided on the right side of the first measuring shaft, and the first thread groove cooperates with the first probe thread; A clamping block is provided on the left side of the first measuring shaft, and a fixing groove adapted to the clamping block is provided on the right side of the second measuring shaft, and the clamping block is engaged with the fixing groove; A fixing block adapted to the fixing groove is provided on the left side of the second measuring shaft. Adjacent second measuring shafts are fixed by the fixing block and the fixing groove, and the fixing block is plugged into the right side of the connecting seat.

[0012] In the second step, the length of the measuring rod in the measuring device is obtained based on the measurement reference size of the cable clamp diameter, and then the inner hole depth of the cable clamp is obtained to obtain the length of the clamping assembly unit, which also includes: First, assemble the measuring unit in the measuring device, and then measure the maximum length Lmax of the measuring unit in the free state and the minimum length Lmin in the maximum compressed state of the spring to obtain the length Lc of the measuring rod; Then select the measurement reference size D of the inner hole diameter of the cable clamp j The difference between the maximum length Lmax and the minimum length Lmin of the measuring unit is used as the length Lc of the measuring rod. Based on the obtained value of the length Lc of the measuring rod, the number of the first measuring axis and the second measuring axis is determined so that the length of the first measuring axis and the second measuring axis after combination is equal to the calculated value of the length Lc of the measuring rod. Where Lc = D j -Lmax +Lmin / 2.

[0013] First, the clamping seat, connecting rod and handle in the clamping assembly unit are combined to form a clamping unit; then the length Ljc of the clamping assembly unit is measured, and then the length Lg of the connecting rod is determined according to the value of the maximum depth Ls of the inner hole to be measured of the cable clamp, where Lg = Ls - Ljc. Then, based on the value of the length Lg of the connecting rod, the number of the first measuring axis and the second measuring axis is determined so that the length of the first measuring axis and the second measuring axis after combination is equal to the calculated value of the length Lg of the connecting rod.

[0014] The measuring device is then calibrated, specifically: First, move the sliding column to compress the spring. Then, when the distance between the outer ends of the first and second probes is equal to the measuring reference dimension Dj of the inner hole of the cable clamp and the spring is in a compressed state, fix the connecting seat and the sliding column. Then adjust the scale so that there is a certain amount of compression between the scale head and the measuring column and fix the scale. In this state, calibrate the reading of the display to zero.

[0015] The actual size of the inner hole diameter of the cable clamp is obtained by measuring with the measuring device, specifically: First, place the calibrated and zeroed measuring device into the inner hole of the cable clamp to be measured, so that the first probe at the end of the measuring rod is in close contact with the wall of the inner hole of the cable clamp, and keep the measuring rod stationary. Then loosen the fixation between the connecting seat and the sliding column, so that the second probe at the end of the sliding column is in close contact with the wall of the inner hole of the cable clamp in the radial direction of the inner hole of the cable clamp. At this time, the reading displayed on the display is the actual measured size of the inner hole diameter of the cable clamp to be measured.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. In a method for measuring the inner hole of a suspension bridge cable clamp of the present invention, the length of the measuring rod in the measuring device is first determined based on the measurement reference dimension of the cable clamp diameter. The inner hole depth of the cable clamp is then determined. By calculating the measurement reference dimension of the cable clamp inner hole, the parameters of the measuring device can be flexibly adjusted according to the design dimensions and processing deviations of different cable clamps, making it suitable for measuring the inner holes of cable clamps of various specifications. The actual dimension value is then calculated based on the measurement reference dimension of the cable clamp diameter. The maximum and minimum limit dimensions of the cable clamp inner hole are then averaged as the measurement reference dimension, providing an accurate reference for subsequent measurements and reducing measurement errors. The measurement reference dimension and measuring rod length are determined using a precise calculation formula, reducing errors caused by human estimation and empirical judgment, and improving the reliability of the measurement results. Therefore, the cable clamp inner hole measurement results of the present invention are accurate.

[0017] 2. In a method for measuring the inner bore of a suspension bridge cable clamp according to the present invention, a first probe, one end of which is remote from the inner wall of the cable clamp, is connected to one end of a measuring rod, the other end of which is connected to one end of a connecting seat, a spring is disposed in the inner cavity of the connecting seat, one end of the spring is connected to the other end of the measuring rod, and the other end of the spring is connected to the side of a sliding post, which is movably engaged with the inner cavity, and a second probe, one end of which is remote from the inner wall of the cable clamp, is embedded in the sliding post. During use, a spring is disposed between the insertion end of the sliding post and the bottom of the inner bore at the left end of the connecting seat, and the measuring post is fixed to the sliding post. In this way, under the action of the spring tension, when the left-end probe and the sliding post move within the connecting seat, they drive the measuring post to move synchronously at a constant speed. The measuring post then transmits the distance moved by the left-end probe to a scale, which displays the equivalent value. This avoids the problem of measurement data discrepancies caused by different hand feel and experience of professional testers. The two probes can more comprehensively and accurately obtain inner bore size information, avoiding the errors that may exist in single-point measurement. Therefore, the measurement results of the present invention take into account more factors and are more accurate.

[0018] 3. In the present invention's method for measuring the inner hole of a suspension bridge cable clamp, the calculated measurement benchmark dimensions provide an accurate reference for subsequent measurements, helping to more accurately assess whether the actual dimensions of the cable clamp inner hole meet design requirements. With accurate measurement data, engineers can better formulate construction plans and maintenance strategies, promptly identify and address non-compliant cable clamp inner hole dimensions, and ensure bridge safety and stability. Therefore, this method provides precise measurements and better maintenance plans.

[0019] 4. In a method for measuring the inner diameter of a suspension bridge cable clamp, the present invention employs a measuring column secured to a sliding column. Under spring tension, the left-end probe, along with the sliding column, moves within the connecting seat, driving the measuring column to move synchronously at a constant speed. The measuring column then transmits the distance traveled by the left-end probe to a scale. This method's accuracy is primarily ensured by the use of a stylus ball and a digital scale. This clever use of the stylus ball and digital scale allows for precise, rapid, and efficient measurement of the cable clamp's inner diameter, avoiding the potential for measurement deviations due to differences in the measurement operator's viewing angle. Consequently, the present invention offers simple measurement and precise results. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0033] The interior of the connecting rod 23 is sleeved with an adjusting rod 231 that moves longitudinally, and the upper end of the adjusting rod 231 is connected to the handle 24 .

[0034] The measuring rod 3 includes a first measuring shaft 31 and at least one second measuring shaft 32. A first measuring head 5 is inserted into the right side of the first measuring shaft 31.

[0036] In the second step, the length of the measuring rod 3 in the measuring device A is first obtained based on the measurement reference size of the diameter of the cable clamp 1, and then the inner hole depth of the cable clamp 1 is obtained to obtain the length of the clamping assembly unit 2. The method further includes: First, assemble the measuring unit B in the measuring device A, and then measure the maximum length Lmax of the measuring unit B in the free state and the minimum length Lmin in the maximum compressed state of the spring 7 to obtain the length Lc of the measuring rod 3; Then select the measurement reference size D of the inner hole diameter of the cable clamp 1 j The difference between the maximum length Lmax and the minimum length Lmin of the measuring unit B is used as the length Lc of the measuring rod 3.

[0046] Then select the measurement reference size D of the inner hole diameter of the cable clamp 1 j The difference between the maximum length Lmax and the minimum length Lmin of the measuring unit B is used as the length Lc of the measuring rod 3. Based on the obtained length Lc of the measuring rod 3, the number of the first measuring axis 31 and the second measuring axis 32 is determined so that the length of the first measuring axis 31 and the second measuring axis 32 after combination is equal to the calculated length Lc of the measuring rod 3. Where Lc = D j -Lmax +Lmin / 2; The number of the second measuring shafts 32 can be 0, 1 or more. The lengths of the second measuring shafts 32 include 1000 mm, 500 mm, 200 mm, 100 mm, 50 mm, 20 mm, 10 mm, etc. During actual measurement, the second measuring shafts 32 are selected and combined according to the basic size of the inner hole diameter of the cable clamp to be measured. First, the clamping seat 21, connecting rod 23 and handle 24 in the clamping assembly unit 2 are combined to form a clamping unit C. Then, the length Ljc of the clamping assembly unit 2 is measured. Then, the length Lg of the connecting rod is determined based on the maximum depth Ls of the inner hole to be measured of the cable clamp 1, where Lg = Ls - Ljc. Then, based on the length Lg of the connecting rod, the number of the first measuring axis 31 and the second measuring axis 32 is determined so that the combined length of the first measuring axis 31 and the second measuring axis 32 is equal to the calculated length Lg of the connecting rod.

[0047] Example 4: Example 4 is basically the same as Example 1, except that: The assembly of the measuring device comprises the following steps: Step 1: Assembly of the measurement module. This includes the following: (1) First, connect a probe to the internal thread end of the sliding column and lock it with a nut. Then, install the spring into the countersunk hole of the connecting seat, and then insert it into the countersunk hole of the connecting seat. (2) Pass the lower end of the sliding column through the oblong hole on the connecting seat and fix it to the sliding column; (3) First, connect another probe to the internal thread end of the connecting rod and lock it with a nut, then connect the measuring rod to the internal thread end of the connecting seat (if the actual required length of the measuring rod is zero, directly connect another probe to the internal thread end of the connecting seat) to form a measuring module; Step 2: Assembly of the clamping module. This includes the following: (1) Connect the connecting rod, handle and clamping seat into one piece (if the actual required length of the connecting rod is zero, directly connect the handle and clamping seat) to form a clamping module. (2) Fit the clamping seat in the clamping module onto the middle of the measuring rod and tighten the fixing screws.

[0048] Step 3: Assemble the display module. Fix the meter to the connection base so that the contacts are pressed into contact with the measuring column; fix the display.

[0049] Example 5: Example 5 is basically the same as Example 1, except that: The calibration of the measuring device specifically includes the following process: (1) First move the sliding column toward the spring end and make it spring. When the distance between the two outer ends of the two probes is equal to the measurement reference size Dj of the inner hole of the cable clamp and the spring is in a compressed state, tighten the screws between the connecting seat and the sliding column to fix the sliding column relatively.

[0050] The measuring rod 3 includes a first measuring shaft 31 and at least one second measuring shaft 32. A first measuring head 5 is inserted into the right side of the first measuring shaft 31, and the first measuring head 5 is fixed to the first measuring shaft 31 via a locking nut 4. The left side of the first measuring shaft 31 is inserted into the right side of the second measuring shaft 32. Adjacent second measuring shafts 32 are inserted, and the left side of the leftmost second measuring shaft 32 is inserted into the right side of the connecting base 6. A first thread groove 312 is defined on the right side of the first measuring shaft 31, and the first thread groove 312 is threadedly engaged with the first measuring head 5. A clamping block 311 is provided on the left side of the first measuring shaft 31, and a fixing groove 322 is defined on the right side of the second measuring shaft 32, which is adapted to the clamping block 311. The clamping block 311 engages with the fixing groove 322. A fixing block 321 is provided on the left side of the second measuring shaft 32, which is adapted to the fixing groove 322. Adjacent second measuring shafts 32 are fixed by the fixing blocks 321 and the fixing groove 322. The fixing block 321 is inserted into the right side of the connecting base 6.

[0051] During use, the measuring rod 3 is placed in the slot 211 of the clamping seat 21, so that the outer side of the measuring rod 3 is engaged with the slot 211. At this time, the measuring rod 3 is initially fixed by the clamping seat 21. By tightening the bolt 22, the bolt 22 moves in the second buffer groove 213 toward the slot 211, thereby squeezing the measuring rod 3, so that the measuring rod 3 is further clamped and firmly fixed. The open setting of the second buffer groove 213 facilitates the screwing in and out operation of the bolt 22, and also provides a certain space for the movement of the bolt 22, so that it can better apply the clamping force to the measuring rod 3. When the measuring rod 3 needs to be fixed, the measuring rod 3 is first placed in the clamping groove 211 of the clamping seat 21, and then the bolt 22 is tightened to firmly clamp the measuring rod 3 in the clamping seat 21. At this time, the position of the measuring rod 3 is fixed and will not shake or move, providing stable conditions for subsequent measurements or other operations. If the position of the clamping assembly needs to be adjusted, the operator holds the handle 24 and moves the handle 24 up or down. The handle 24 drives the adjustment rod 231 to move up and down in the connecting rod 23, thereby changing the height position of the entire clamping assembly. The threaded part of the first measuring head 5 is aligned with the first thread groove 312 on the right side of the first measuring shaft 31, and then the first measuring head 5 is screwed in so that it is threadedly matched with the first measuring shaft 31. By tightening the locking nut 4, the connection between the first measuring head 5 and the first measuring shaft 31 is further fixed to ensure that the first measuring head 5 will not loosen during the measurement process. Then, the blocking block 311 on the left side of the first measuring shaft 31 is aligned with the fixing groove 322 on the right side of the second measuring shaft 32, and then the first measuring shaft 31 is inserted into the second measuring shaft 32 so that the blocking block 311 is engaged with the fixing groove 322, thereby realizing the connection between the first measuring shaft 31 and the second measuring shaft 32. This engaging connection method can ensure that the connection between the two measuring shafts is firm and stable.
