Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of electric pole detection, more specifically, relates to an electric pole torsional performance comprehensive test device and evaluation system and method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The electric pole is the core support structure of the power transmission line, and needs to bear various loads in actual operation, in which the torsional load is one of the key working conditions. For example, in the process of tightening the line during the stringing construction, the tension applied through the cross arm will generate a significant torque on the electric pole; in the severe weather such as typhoon and gale, the wind sway or different period ice shedding of the conductor will also exert an alternating or impact torque on the electric pole. When the torque exceeds the torsional bearing capacity of the electric pole itself, the electric pole will be cracked, damaged or even collapsed, which seriously threatens the safety of the power grid.

[0003] At present, the detection of the mechanical performance of the electric pole is mostly focused on the compression resistance, bending resistance and uplift resistance, and the systematic test means for the torsional performance is relatively scarce. The existing test devices have single functionality. Most of the devices can only perform simple static tensile and torsional strength tests, and the loading capacity and structural form are difficult to adapt to the full-size electric pole, and it is impossible to simulate the long-term dynamic load working conditions such as wind-induced vibration.

[0004] Secondly, the evaluation dimension is incomplete, and the traditional method can only obtain the terminal indicators such as the limit torque, and cannot reveal the key mechanical behavior information such as the distribution rule of the torsional deformation along the pole body, the crack initiation and propagation process, etc.

[0005] Therefore, in view of the above problems, the existing structure and defects are researched and improved, and an electric pole torsional performance comprehensive test device and evaluation system and method are provided, so as to achieve a more practical value purpose. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] As shown in Figures 1-2 The test device mainly includes a base, which is built of reinforced concrete and has a steel structure test bench installed thereon, and a clamping support assembly installed on the test bench, which is used to fix and support the pole to be tested, and includes at least two support clamps for supporting the pole body and a torsion clamp arranged at the top end of the pole.

[0024] The electric pole to be measured is horizontally placed on two supporting clamps, each of which comprises a V-shaped supporting groove, a supporting roller is arranged in the supporting groove, the supporting roller is used for supporting the electric pole, a hydraulic lifting mechanism is arranged at the bottom of the supporting groove, and the electric pole can be lifted and lowered in the vertical direction and the height can be automatically adjusted.

[0025] A torsion clamp with a torsion arm is arranged at the top end of the electric pole to be measured, a traction member is connected to the end of the torsion arm, the end of the torsion arm is connected to a load torsion sensor through a traction steel cable, and an electric tension tool for applying tension to the traction member and a fixing pile for fixing the electric tension tool are further included.

[0026] The measurement assembly comprises a linear displacement sensor for monitoring lateral deflection of the pole body as shown in Figure 1 A C-point angular displacement sensor for measuring a torsion angle, and a deformation spectrum image acquisition device for observing a pole observation area, cooperating with surface speckle spraying to realize full-field strain field reconstruction.

[0027] The system of the application automatically extracts individual characteristic parameters for model calibration in the test, including:

[0028] The current effective torsional stiffness K test and the maximum torsional deformation angle θ test under the safety load extracted from the slow torque test, the S-N curve stress-life curve parameters and the stiffness degradation rate fitted from the dynamic fatigue test, and the strain concentration coefficient ξ identified from the DIC full-field deformation data.

[0029] Wherein K test and the safety load torsion angle θ test are extracted as follows: the electric tension tool is controlled by the system to apply a stepped torque T i (i=1, 2,..., n) to the electric pole, each load is maintained until the deformation is stable; the torque T i and the corresponding top end torsion angle θ i of the electric pole at each stable time are recorded synchronously by the torque sensor and the C-point angular displacement sensor, forming n data pairs (T i , θ i ).

[0030] The calculation formula is as follows:

[0031] The maximum torsion angle θ test: Set a safety load T safe , usually the design torque or the historical maximum service torque. In the test data, find the maximum torque value T i and its corresponding angle θ safe of T max,safe ≤T max,safe , that is, θ max,safe as θ test .

[0032] Second, the dynamic fatigue test is fitted to quantify the performance attenuation of the electric pole under the cyclic torque. According to the different purposes of the test, the system extracts two types of key data, namely the S-N curve parameters and the stiffness degradation rate. Among them, the S-N curve parameters are obtained by destructive fatigue test, and the stiffness degradation rate is obtained by non-destructive cyclic test.

[0033] When the intrinsic fatigue resistance of the electric pole material or configuration needs to be obtained, the S-N curve parameters are obtained, which is suitable for new product research and development, type test and other scenarios that allow destructive test. At this time, the system controls the electric tension tool, and under a plurality of different torque amplitude levels S j , respectively, carries out fatigue test until the test piece is destroyed or cracks appear, and records the failure cycle number N f j corresponding to each stress level.

[0034] A set of data pairs (S j , N f j ) are obtained. The system uses a general fatigue life model for fitting:

[0035]

[0036] Among them, the slope-related parameter m and the intercept-related parameter C obtained by linear regression fitting logS - logN f data are the S-N curve parameters representing the fatigue resistance of the electric pole.

[0037] When the cumulative damage state of the in-service electric pole needs to be evaluated or the durability monitoring is carried out, the stiffness degradation rate is obtained, and the test is usually carried out under a non-destructive torque amplitude.

[0038] The system carries out long-time test under the set constant or variable amplitude cyclic torque S a . During the test, the system periodically pauses the dynamic loading, and applies a slow torque from small to large every N k times of cycle, and synchronously measures the torque and angle relationship.

[0039] Through the measurement of torque and angle relationship each time, an instantaneous torsional stiffness K k, K k The calculation method is the same as K test , and the sequence of stiffness changes with the number of cycles K k (N k ) is obtained. The attenuation curve is fitted with a function:

[0040] The attenuation index η obtained by fitting is defined as the stiffness degradation rate of the pole under a certain load, which directly quantifies the speed of damage accumulation.

[0041] Finally, regarding the strain concentration coefficient ξ, its purpose is to quantify the local weakness or initial damage state of the pole caused by material, process or historical service, and the safety load T safe During the holding stage, the DIC optical measurement system is started to continuously collect speckle images of the observation area surface of the pole, and the ε vm (x,y) is calculated and derived by comparing images.

[0042] On the strain cloud map, the system automatically finds the local area with a significantly higher average strain level than other areas, extracts its maximum strain value ε max ; At the same time, representative points are selected in the uniform deformation section of the pole body, and the average nominal strain value ε nominal is calculated. The strain concentration coefficient ξ is defined as the ratio of the two:

[0043] The coefficient ξ≥1, the larger the value, the more significant the local weakness effect, which will be correspondingly reduced in the torsional performance attenuation prediction model.

[0044] In summary, the system will predict the torsional carrying capacity of the pole at time t Mu(t), which is expressed as the torsional performance attenuation prediction model:

[0045]

[0046] Where: M u0 is the initial ultimate torque;

[0047] , t is the service life, T is the design reference period, λ and α are degradation coefficients. The ratio of the current stiffness K test measured in this test to the design initial stiffness K0 is used to inversely calibrate the actual λ value of the pole, ;

[0048] The damage caused by n i times of torque amplitude S i is defined as d i =n i / N i , where N iThe failure cycle number at S i i under the S-N curve determined according to the dynamic fatigue test this time. The total damage D = ∑d fatigue . Then the fatigue reduction function can be expressed as: f (D) = 1 - β D where β is the damage sensitivity coefficient, which can be calibrated by the relationship between the stiffness drop and the cycle number in this fatigue test;

[0049] f damage (ξ) is a correction term based on the DIC detection results this time. If DIC analysis does not find obvious damage concentration, then ξ = 1, f damage (1) = 1. If the local strain concentration coefficient is identified as ξ (> 1), it can be mapped as a bearing capacity reduction coefficient: f damage (ξ) = ξ - γ, where γ is a material constant.

[0050] The above has carried out the detailed introduction to the present application. The description of the specific embodiments is only used to help understand the method of the present application and its core idea. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the principles of the present application, some improvements and modifications can be made to the present application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present application.​
