Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of steel bar processing technology, and more particularly to an automated production method for U-shaped steel mesh for box girder support. Background Technology

[0002] A box girder is a type of beam used in bridge engineering. It is hollow inside and has flanges on both sides of the upper part, resembling a box, hence the name.

[0003] The edges of the box girder are solid, while the interior is hollow. The hollow interior reduces the production and transportation costs of the box girder. However, the hollow structure concentrates the stress on the edges of the box girder. Therefore, the edges of the solid structure generally require a large number of steel bars to form a steel mesh for support. Since the external structure of the box girder is generally U-shaped, the steel mesh supporting the box girder is generally formed by welding U-shaped ring steel bars and longitudinal steel bars perpendicular to the U-shaped plane.

[0004] The U-shaped steel mesh used for box girder support is often processed manually or using assembly equipment, involving bending and welding of the steel bars in a single step. Currently, there is no established production method for U-shaped steel mesh used for box girder support. In practical applications, because the production of U-shaped steel mesh for box girder support in construction can only be broken down into several small, independent processes, which are then spliced ​​together. This results in a cumbersome, inefficient, and inconsistent processing method; furthermore, it cannot be produced continuously and is unsuitable for large-scale production.

[0005] In conclusion, there is an urgent need for an automated production method for U-shaped steel mesh used in box girder support to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an automated production method for U-shaped steel mesh used in box girder support. This method solves the problems that in practical applications, the production of U-shaped steel mesh for box girder support in construction can only be broken down into several small processes, resulting in a cumbersome, inefficient, and inconsistent process; furthermore, it cannot be produced continuously and is unsuitable for large-scale production.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an automated production method for U-shaped steel mesh for box girder support, comprising the following steps: S1. Preparation of straight steel bars: Determine the length of the straight steel bars according to the length of the U-shaped steel mesh, and use a straightening machine to cut the steel bars of a fixed length into straight steel bars; S2. Preparation of U-shaped steel bars: Determine the size of the U-shaped steel bars according to the size of the U-shaped steel mesh; S3. Positioning of straight reinforcing bars: Position multiple parallel straight reinforcing bars separately; S4. Positioning of straight steel bars and U-shaped steel bars: Determine the number of U-shaped steel bars and the spacing between them according to the type of U-shaped steel bar mesh. Place the U-shaped steel bars in parallel according to the number. Use a robotic arm to clamp the U-shaped steel bars one by one according to the spacing and insert the parallel straight steel bars into the U-shaped steel bars. S5. Welding and fixing of straight bars and U-shaped bars: Transfer U-shaped bars and straight bars to the welding point respectively, and weld at the lap joint of straight bars and U-shaped bars.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, step S3 is specifically implemented by using multiple sets of parallel hollow sleeves to position the straight steel bars, thereby ensuring the position and parallelism of the straight steel bars.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, step S2 is specifically implemented by preparing the U-shaped steel bar by splicing and welding the inner U-shaped steel bar, the outer U-shaped steel bar, and the ring beam.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, step S2 is specifically implemented by preparing the U-shaped steel bar by splicing and welding the first trapezoidal steel bar, the second trapezoidal steel bar, and the ring beam.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, step S2 is specifically implemented by forming the U-shaped steel bar by continuously bending a single steel bar.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the preparation of the U-shaped steel bar in step S2 by continuously bending a single steel bar specifically includes the following steps: S2.1. Use a straightening machine to cut the length of a single steel bar; S2.2. Bend the steel bars three times at 1 / 3 of their length to form a first parallelogram structure. S2.3. Bend the steel bar three times at 2 / 3 of its length to form a second parallelogram structure with the original steel bar. Bend the end away from the original steel bar twice and bend the end away from the original steel bar into an acute angle to form the first joint. S2.4 The steel bar segment closest to the first parallelogram structure is bent six times to form the outer contour of the U-shaped steel bar; the end away from the original steel bar is bent into an acute angle to form the second joint; S2.5 At this point, the first joint and the second joint are aligned; simultaneously, welding is performed at the alignment point of the first joint and the second joint to form a complete U-shaped steel bar.

The present invention discloses an automated production method for U-shaped steel mesh for box girder support. This method involves setting up S1, preparation of straight steel bars; S2, preparation of U-shaped steel bars; S3, positioning of straight steel bars; S4, lap splicing and positioning of straight and U-shaped steel bars; and S5, welding and fixing of straight and U-shaped steel bars to form a structurally stable U-shaped steel mesh. The entire process from steel bars to U-shaped steel mesh is automated, resulting in high production efficiency. Simultaneously, it avoids manual intervention, and the resulting U-shaped steel mesh exhibits good consistency and high strength, making it suitable for continuous large-scale production.
