The connecting piece is an adjusting bolt, and the connecting hole is a threaded hole. The adjusting bolt adjusts the distance between the movable support and the fixed support.

[0008] The torsion prevention wrench must meet strict design standards. The force transmission path of the mechanism is: the torque of the steel wire rope sling is transmitted to the pull rod, and then transmitted to the torsion prevention wrench by the pull rod. Specifically, the strength calculation of the torsion prevention wrench aims to accurately evaluate the load capacity of the transition area (stress concentration area) of the wrench between the handle and the tiger mouth, that is, by analyzing the bending moment of the key stress section, the structural reliability is verified.

[0009] The sling wire rope is generally selected to have an IWS structure, and a nominal diameter of D. The diameter of the innermost layer of wire strands is d1, and the wire strands are sequentially divided into n layers from the inside to the outside, and the diameter of the wire strands of the i-th layer is di i The number of the wire strands of the i-th layer is n i ,

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] The present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are exemplary and intended to provide an explanation of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application. The description in the present embodiment is corresponding to the drawings, and the description of the orientation is also based on the description of the drawings, which should not be understood as limiting the scope of the present application.

[0043] In the present embodiment, one kind of derrick tensioning quick anti-twist device, one end of the steel wire rope sling is provided with an anchor cup 2, the dispersed steel wires are anchored in the anchor cup 2, the tail of the anchor cup 2 is provided with a connecting sleeve 3, the connecting sleeve 3 is threadedly connected with a pull rod 4, and the steel wire rope sling is tensioned through the pull rod 4. An anti-twist device 5 is installed on the outer side of the pull rod 4, a plurality of circumferentially symmetrical and uniformly distributed clamping grooves 4.1 are formed on the outer periphery of the pull rod 4, the anti-twist wrench is matched with the clamping grooves 4.1, the anti-twist wrench 5.4 is clamped to the pull rod, the pull rod 4 is limited, and the twisting of the sling during tensioning is avoided.

[0044] As shown in Figures 2-7 The anti-twist device includes a fixed support 5.1 and a movable support 5.2 which is oppositely arranged with the fixed support 5.1, a wrench limiting groove 5.5 is formed on the movable support 5.2, and the handle end of the anti-twist wrench 5.4 is clamped inside the wrench limiting groove 5.5. Two vertically spaced screw holes are formed on the fixed support 5.1, and two screw holes are correspondingly arranged on the movable support 5.2. The adjusting bolt 5.3 is screwed in the screw holes corresponding to each other of the fixed support and the movable support. The adjusting bolt can adjust the relative distance between the fixed support and the movable support to adapt to the steel wire rope sling at different positions.

[0045] The width of the tiger mouth of the anti-twist wrench 5.4 is matched with the symmetrical clamping grooves 4.1, so that the anti-twist wrench 5.4 can just clamp the pull rod 4.

[0046] Taking a double-layer steel wire rope sling as an example, it is known that the strands of the steel wire rope sling are sequentially divided into two layers from inside to outside. The single strand diameter of the first layer steel wire is 10 mm, the diameter of the first layer strand is 30 mm, and the corresponding number of steel wire strands is 8 strands; the single strand diameter of the second layer steel wire is 16 mm, the diameter of the second layer strand is 52 mm, and the corresponding number of steel wire strands is also 8 strands. The lay length of the steel wire rope is 8 times the nominal diameter, that is, 416 mm, and the tensioning force is 100 kN.

[0047] Based on the above calculation process, it can be obtained that:

[0048] The axial force F1 of the first layer steel wire strand is calculated by formula (2) combined with the total tension and the number of strands. Assuming that the total tension is evenly distributed to each layer of steel wire strands, F1=F×(a1 / A)=29.59 kN, wherein a1 is the cross-sectional area of the first layer single strand (π×(10 / 2) 2), A is the total cross-sectional area (the sum of the cross-sectional area of the two layers), n1 = 1 strand; similarly, the axial force of the second layer F2 = 75.74 kN is calculated. Substituting the torque formula (1) gives: where D1 = 20 mm (the diameter of the center of the first layer), D2 = 52-16 = 36 mm (the diameter of the center of the second layer); finally, M = 415.13 Nm is calculated. The material of the anti-torque wrench is Q345 steel, the yield strength σy = 325 MPa, and the safety factor n = 4, so the allowable bending stress [σ] = σy / n = 81.25 MPa. According to the cross-sectional parameters of the wrench (assuming b = 50 mm, h = 35 mm), the cross-sectional bending modulus Z = b x h 2 / 6 = 10208.33 mm 3 , and the bending stress formula (8) σ = M / Z is substituted to verify that σ ≤ [σ], i.e., the strength requirement is met. In terms of specifications, the width of the anti-torque wrench's tiger mouth needs to match the spacing of the pull rod's clamping slots (for example, if the clamping slots are arranged at an interval of 90° in a ring, the tiger mouth opening angle ≥ 90°), the handle length is designed to be 200 mm according to the operation space, and the distance between the force point and the tiger mouth axis is ensured to meet the torque requirement (torque = force x handle length ≥ calculated torque M).

[0049] In addition to the above embodiments, the present application also includes other embodiments, and any technical solutions formed by equivalent transformation or equivalent replacement shall fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
