Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cable crane, more particularly, it relates to a cable crane for wide bridge space main cable suspension bridge and a control method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The wide bridge space main cable suspension bridge is different from the conventional flat main cable suspension bridge in the shape of the main cable. The two main cables are arranged in a horizontal spindle shape between the two towers. Since the main cable and the sling form a three-dimensional structure, the lateral bearing capacity of the cable system is significantly improved without affecting the vertical bearing capacity, thereby greatly improving the lateral stiffness and torsional stiffness of the entire bridge, and solving the problem of reduced lateral stiffness of the bridge due to the increase of the bridge span and the decrease of the width-span ratio, which further affects the dynamic stability of the bridge. The wide bridge space cable plane suspension bridge is the latest achievement in the research of kilometer and above level long-span bridges in recent years, and represents the development direction of future super-kilometer level railway bridges.

[0003] As the main construction equipment of the suspension bridge, the cable crane has been widely used in the installation of suspension bridges in China. However, the cable crane is mainly adapted to parallel main cable suspension bridges. The patent publication "CN103790114A" discloses a cable crane combined with hydraulic traction and roller walking and a walking method thereof. Since the walking mechanism has a fixed distance, it cannot adapt to the variable span condition of the space main cable, and also has the following problems: 1. The fixed cable clamp of the walking traction needs the assistance of the bridge crane to adjust the position, which cannot form continuous walking, and the operation efficiency of the crane is low; 2. The structure stability of the wheel type walking on the main cable is poor, and there is a risk of wheel deviation and slipping.

[0004] There is no example of variable span cable crane in China, and the existing technologies mainly include: The patent publication "CN106522097A" discloses a self-adaptive cable crane for super-large space cable plane suspension bridge construction, which adopts two single machines installed on the main cable and used in combination. There is no connection between the two machines, which can well adapt to the structure of the space main cable, but the single machine wheel type walking has a risk of overturning and poor reliability in the way of maintaining balance with counterweight. When two single machines are used in combination, the synchronization reliability is poor.

[0005] The patent publication "CN112551360A" discloses a variable span cable crane, and the patent publication "CN117142357A" discloses a variable distance cable crane equipment. The structures of the two patents have a certain variable amplitude capability and can operate on the plane main cable in part, but due to the structural limitation, they cannot realize variable amplitude from the tower end to the main cable span, so the application of the patent technology has limitations.

[0006] Meanwhile, the existing cable crane is designed for narrow bridge deck suspension bridges, and the bridge deck width of the suspension bridges is basically less than 40 meters, the sling point of the sling cable of the hoisted beam section is basically below the main cable, and thus the lifting point of the crane is arranged below or on the inner side of the main cable. The width of the bridge deck of a wide bridge deck suspension bridge is greater than twice the distance between the main cables, the sling point of the sling cable of the hoisted beam section is outside the lower side of the main cable, and the arrangement of the lifting point of the original cable crane causes the length of the beam section outside the lifting point to be too long and the weight to be too heavy, thereby causing the beam section to be bent and deformed during hoisting. Therefore, the existing cable crane and the patented technology cannot meet the needs of the hoisting of the main beam of a wide bridge. SUMMARY

That is, when passing through the cable clamp 44, the long blocking rod and the short blocking rod can be rotated to be opened, and then restored to the original state under the action of the reset spring 58. The first limiting block 59 limits the rotation angle of the long blocking rod and the short blocking rod, so that the long blocking rod and the short blocking rod remain perpendicular to the connecting rod 33 (i.e., perpendicular to the main cable 4).

[0052] Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the first fixed holding foot 30 and the second fixed holding foot 31 are arranged on the same side of the trolley frame 26, and the first fixed holding foot 30 and the second fixed holding foot 31 are arranged on the same side of the holding frame 32. Figure 11As shown, the two sides in the trolley frame 26 are respectively provided with supports 69, the top of the supporting foot 29 is provided with a sliding sleeve 62, the sliding sleeve 62 is located between the two supports 69 and is in sliding connection with the two supports 69, the sliding sleeve 62 is provided with a sliding seat 63, the two sides of the sliding seat 63 are respectively provided with second guide rails 64, the second guide rails 64 are in sliding connection with supporting sliding blocks 65, the sliding seat 63 is respectively provided with second limiting blocks 66 corresponding to the two supporting sliding blocks 65, the two supporting sliding blocks 65 are respectively in rotational connection with connecting rods 67, the upper ends of the two connecting rods 67 are in rotational connection with the piston rods of the jacking jack 28 through connecting rod joints 68, the two connecting rods 67 are arranged in an eight-shaped manner with the upper end being smaller and the lower end being larger, and the two sides of the sliding sleeve 62 are provided with clearance holes corresponding to the two supporting sliding blocks 65.

[0053] When the jacking jack 28 is contracted, the piston rod drives the connecting rod 67 to contract, the two supporting sliding blocks 65 slide inward and are retracted into the sliding sleeve 62, the support of the support 69 (i.e. the support of the trolley frame 26) is released, and the supporting foot 29 is driven to slide upward (the second guide rail 64 is driven to rise by the supporting sliding block 65) and is separated from the main cable 4; when the jacking jack 28 is extended, the piston rod drives the connecting rod 67 to expand, the supporting foot 29 is driven to slide downward through the connecting rod 67 and the supporting sliding block 65, and the supporting foot 29 falls back to the main cable 4, and the two supporting sliding blocks 65 slide outward until the two supporting sliding blocks 65 support the support 69, so that the weight of the trolley frame 26 is conducted to the main cable 4 through the support 69, the supporting sliding block 65 and the supporting foot 29. The sliding distance of the supporting sliding block 65 inward is limited by the second limiting block 66, and the sliding distance of the supporting sliding block 65 outward is limited by the extension stroke of the piston rod of the jacking jack 28.

[0054] The jacks and oil cylinders in the application are controlled by the controller to control the unified oil supply of the hydraulic system 36, the motors and electric push rods in the application are controlled by the controller, and the air cylinders in the application are controlled by the controller to control the unified air supply of the air pressure system (prior art).

[0055] A control method of a cable-mounted crane for a wide-bridge-space main cable suspension bridge, comprising, The controller monitors the distance between the two main cables 4 in real time through the main cable distance measuring device 7, and controls the amplitude drive mechanism 3 to drive the sliding bracket 2 to move, so as to change the distance between the two walking frames 5 in real time to adapt to the change of the distance between the two main cables 4. Specifically, the distance monitoring data of the main cable 4 is obtained through the first laser distance meter 18, and the distance monitoring data of the sliding bracket 2 is obtained through the second laser distance meter 22. The two distance monitoring data are transmitted to the controller in real time. After the controller calculates (converts the distance monitoring data into actual distance) and compares the two distance monitoring data, the controller sends an instruction to control the amplitude drive mechanism 3 to act, adjusts the distance between the two sliding brackets 2 at the bottom of the lifting truss 1, and makes the distance between the two sliding brackets 2 adapt to the change of the distance between the two main cables 4.

[0056] The controller monitors the horizontal data of the lifting truss 1 in real time through the horizontal detector, and controls the horizontal adjusting mechanism 6 to act according to the horizontal data, so that the lifting truss 1 always maintains a horizontal posture. Specifically, the horizontal posture of the sliding bracket 2 is controlled by controlling the extension of the posture adjusting jack 15, and the horizontal posture is locked by controlling the linkage of the posture locking electric push rod 14.

[0057] The walking frame 5 is in a stopped state: the jacking jack 28 is extended, the support clamping leg 29 of the trolley frame 26 falls on the main cable 4, the support sliding block 65 on the support clamping leg 29 slides out to support the whole trolley frame 26, and the first fixed clamping leg 30 of the trolley frame 26 and the second fixed clamping leg 34 of the clamping frame 32 are extended to clasp the main cable 4, so that the whole device is fixed on the main cable 4.

[0058] The walking frame 5 is in a walking state: the jacking jack 28 is retracted, the support clamping leg 29 of the trolley frame 26 is lifted, and the support sliding block 65 on the support clamping leg 29 is retracted to be separated from the support of the trolley frame 26. Then, the first fixed clamping leg 30 is retracted to release the main cable 4 (at this time, the weight is conducted to the main cable 4 through the second fixed clamping leg 34), the second motor 52 of the sliding drive mechanism 25 is rotated, the screw rod nut 56 installed on the trolley frame 26 is driven to move forward through the screw rod 55; when the trolley frame 26 moves to the position, the support clamping leg 29 on the trolley frame 26 falls on the main cable 4, the support sliding block 65 on the support clamping leg 29 slides out to support the whole trolley frame 26, and the first fixed clamping leg 30 on the trolley frame 26 is extended to clasp the main cable 4, so that the trolley frame 26 is fixed on the main cable 3. Then, the second fixed clamping leg 34 of the clamping frame 32 is retracted, the second fixed clamping leg 34 releases the main cable 4, and the second motor 52 of the sliding drive mechanism 25 is rotated. At this time, the trolley frame 26 is fixed, the screw rod nut 56 on the trolley frame 26 is not moved, and the screw motion of the screw rod 55 is converted into the forward motion of the clamping frame 32. After the clamping frame 32 slides to the position, the walking action of the trolley frame 26 is repeated.

[0059] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, it should be noted that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the structure of the present application, can also be made several variations and improvements, these will not affect the effect of the present application and the practicality of the patent implementation.
