Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of bridge engineering construction, and in particular relates to a method for forming a prefabricated box beam reinforcement skeleton suitable for factory manufacturing. Background Art

[0002] Prefabricated prestressed concrete box girders are widely used in highway and railway bridge construction as a safe and reliable bridge structure. In the existing PC box girder prefabrication technology, the steel skeleton is mainly made by bending individual steel bars, assembling them in sequence, and manually tying them at the intersection to form a steel skeleton. The skeleton is then hoisted into an external formwork for pouring. Although this construction method is simple and easy, it is inefficient and requires a lot of manpower. Due to the uneven technical level of workers, the operation process is prone to missing steel bars, exposed steel bars, and deformation, which makes the construction quality of the steel bars unguaranteed and poses a high safety risk. Before pouring construction, the prestressed pipes need to be manually inserted into the assembled steel skeleton and fixed. However, due to the large number of complex steel bars at the bottom web nodes and the small construction space, pipe deformation, breakage, blockage and other construction defects are inevitable, causing durability problems during the bridge operation phase.

[0003] With the increasing aging of my country's population and the continuous advancement of intelligence in the field of construction technology, inefficient manual bending, binding, and hoisting operations, as well as on-site casting and maintenance of box girder construction technologies that create dust and sewage, have become major obstacles to the industry's progress.

[0004] As on-site box girder construction methods evolve towards automated, low-carbon, and environmentally friendly factory-prefabricated PC box girder manufacturing, the closed-loop reinforcement within the existing steel skeleton interferes with each other, preventing full-process mechanized bending, welding, and tying. Furthermore, conflicts exist between the prestressed conduit routing process for the box girder and the automated rebar layout. These issues can only be addressed manually, significantly reducing work efficiency and making it impossible to adapt to the low-labor, factory-based manufacturing of the steel skeleton, thereby preventing the rapid, low-labor, and green construction model currently used in bridge construction. Summary of the Invention
