Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of bridge construction technology, specifically relating to a catwalk adaptive adjustment method and an integrated adaptive cable saddle system. Background Technology
[0002] A catwalk is a commonly used high-altitude work platform in bridge construction. In the construction of bridges, especially suspension bridges, it serves as a temporary access road erected below and parallel to the main cable, running throughout the entire superstructure construction process and playing a crucial role in bridge construction. During use, a cable-switching saddle device is often installed at the top of the main tower to transfer the tension on the catwalk's load-bearing cables to the main tower. Corresponding technical solutions have been disclosed in some patent documents.
[0003] For example, patent application CN202410510301.2 discloses a tower top catwalk layout structure and conversion method adapted to a large pre-deflection of the main cable saddle. This patent effectively solves the problem of the smoothness of the tower top catwalk alignment under a large pre-deflection of the main cable saddle. It not only meets the operational needs of the personnel erecting the main cable strands in the early stage, but also ensures the operational needs of the catwalk to move towards the main span together with the main cable saddle in stages during the stiffening beam hoisting and erection stage after the lifting mechanism lifts the catwalk as a whole, cuts off the catwalk to cable saddle structure supported at the grid, and lowers the catwalk as a whole by the lifting mechanism.
[0004] However, in existing technologies, the cable saddles and main cable saddles are installed separately on the main tower, and are typically rigidly connected or welded using embedded parts and high-strength bolts. When stress concentration and displacement deviation occur in the catwalk support cables due to changes in construction loads, wind loads, or temperature, the displacement deviations cannot be corrected in a timely and effective manner. This easily leads to localized stress concentration and causes the main tower to bear more additional bending moments due to rigid anchoring, seriously affecting the safety and durability of the tower structure. Furthermore, asynchronous displacement deviations result in changes in the spatial height of the catwalk from the main cable, affecting the convenience of construction operations. Especially for long-span suspension bridges, which have higher requirements for construction precision and structural reliability, existing technologies cannot meet these requirements. Therefore, it is crucial to have an integrated adaptive cable saddle system and adaptive adjustment method that can synchronously and adaptively adjust to changes in external forces that are uncontrollable by humans in the natural environment. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the technical problem in the background art where rigid connections using embedded parts are commonly used when installing cable saddle devices on the main cable tower, which leads to an inability to adapt to stress redistribution and displacement deviations caused by changes in construction loads and temperature deformation, resulting in the main cable tower bearing excessive additional bending moments and stresses during construction and affecting the structural safety and durability of the main cable tower, this invention provides a catwalk adaptive adjustment method and an integrated adaptive cable saddle system.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: In a first aspect, the present invention provides a cat passage adaptive adjustment method, the cat passage adaptive adjustment method comprising: S1: The saddle is connected to the main saddle via a connecting beam to form an integrated adaptive saddle system; S2: The integrated adaptive cable saddle system is installed on the top of the main cable tower, and the load-bearing cables of the catwalk are tensioned and fixed on the saddle of the integrated adaptive cable saddle system, forming a force transmission path of catwalk load-bearing cable-saddle-connecting beam-main cable saddle. S3: When displacement or stress change occurs at any position in the integrated adaptive cable saddle system during the use of the catwalk, the integrated adaptive cable saddle system realizes synchronous displacement or overall adaptive adjustment of the rotating cable saddle and the main cable saddle through the force transmission path of the catwalk load-bearing cable-rotating cable saddle-connecting beam-main cable saddle.
[0007] Optionally, step S1 includes: S1.1: Accurately locate the placement of the connecting beam in the transition zone of the main cable saddle rib, and fix the connecting beam symmetrically on both sides of the main cable saddle rib. S1.2: Fix the cable saddle to the connecting beam; S1.3: Following the operation of step S1.2, multiple cable saddles are symmetrically arranged on the main cable saddle, forming an integrated adaptive cable saddle system together with the main cable saddle.
[0008] Optionally, in step S3, during the use of the catwalk, when the stress changes occur in the main cable on the main cable saddle and the catwalk load-bearing cable laid on the swivel cable saddle, the main cable and the catwalk load-bearing cable are simultaneously displaced, and the stress is dispersed through the force transmission path of the catwalk load-bearing cable - swivel cable saddle - connecting beam - main cable saddle.
[0009] Optionally, in step S3, during the use of the catwalk, when the main cable saddle and / or the swivel cable saddle undergo displacement changes, the swivel cable saddle and the main cable saddle are moved synchronously through the force transmission path of the catwalk load-bearing cable-swivel cable-connecting beam-main cable saddle.
[0010] Secondly, the present invention provides an integrated adaptive cable saddle system for implementing the above-described catwalk adaptive adjustment method, comprising a main cable saddle, multiple rotating cable saddles and two connecting beams; The two connecting beams are horizontally arranged on the ribs of the main cable saddle along the length direction of the main cable saddle, and are symmetrically arranged about the main cable saddle. Multiple cable saddles are symmetrically arranged on the connecting beam, forming an integrated structure of cable saddle-connecting beam-main cable saddle.
[0011] Optionally, the main cable saddle has multiple ribs, and the main cable saddle also includes a base and a saddle body; The base is fixedly installed on the main cable tower; the saddle body is fixedly installed on the base; a plurality of ribs are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the saddle body, and the ribs on the same side of the saddle body are all arranged in parallel. The lower end of the rib extends horizontally through the rib transition area to form a mounting surface, which is used to fix the connecting beam.
[0012] Optionally, the connecting beam is an I-beam, and the bottom surface of the I-beam is fixedly connected to the mounting surface; The top surface of the I-beam is used to install the cable saddle.
[0013] Optionally, the cable saddle includes a body and a clamp; The main body is fixedly connected to the top surface of the I-beam by fasteners; The clamp is fixedly installed on the upper side of the main body and is used to fix the catwalk load-bearing cable.
[0014] Optionally, the clamp is an adjustable clamping mechanism to accommodate load-bearing cables of different diameters.
[0015] Optionally, the length of the I-beam is consistent with the lateral length of the main cable saddle, the width of its lower surface is not greater than the width of the mounting surface, and it is welded to the central axis of the mounting surface.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are: This invention provides a catwalk adaptive adjustment method and an integrated adaptive cable saddle system. The rotating cable saddle is integrated with the main cable saddle via a connecting beam, creating a force transmission path of catwalk load-bearing cable - rotating cable saddle - connecting beam - main cable saddle during use. This achieves a novel catwalk adaptive adjustment mechanism: when the catwalk load-bearing cable is fixed to the rotating cable saddle and the main cable is tensioned and fixed to the main saddle cable, and when the catwalk structure experiences displacement and stress changes due to temperature variations or dynamic loads during use, the linkage between the main cable saddle and the rotating cable saddle allows for adjustment via the catwalk itself. The force transmission path of the load-bearing cable-saddle-connecting beam-main cable saddle enables synchronous sliding and stress dispersion of the integrated structure, thereby providing real-time compensation and adaptive adjustment for stress and displacement. At the same time, it makes the force transmission path of the entire system clear and the force distribution uniform and reasonable. This avoids the technical problem of installing the saddle device on the main cable tower by using embedded parts in a rigid connection, which would lead to the inability to adapt to stress redistribution and displacement deviation caused by changes in construction load and temperature deformation. This would cause the main cable tower to bear excessive additional bending moment and stress during construction, affecting the structural safety and durability of the main cable tower.
[0017] Furthermore, the catwalk adaptive adjustment method of the present invention can achieve synchronous displacement while dispersing local stress, ensuring that the operating space of the catwalk and the main cable changes synchronously, ensuring construction stability and minimizing the negative impact caused by uncontrollable external force changes in the natural environment. It can meet the construction accuracy requirements of long-span suspension bridges and is particularly suitable for construction environments with limited space at the top of the main tower, enabling efficient utilization of confined spaces.
[0018] Meanwhile, the invention integrates the main cable saddle and the switch saddle, enabling synchronous displacement of the main cable and the catwalk support cable. This effectively controls the relative position between the main cable and the catwalk support cable, maintaining a reasonable construction clearance at all times. This ensures the smooth operation of equipment such as the wire winding machine and the cable tensioning machine, guaranteeing the continuity and safety of the main cable construction.

[0028] In existing technologies, cable saddles and main cable saddles are typically installed on the main cable tower separately, and are usually rigidly connected or welded using embedded parts and high-strength bolts. This approach presents at least the following problems: When stress concentration and displacement deviation occur in the catwalk support cables due to changes in construction loads, wind loads, or temperature, the displacement deviation cannot be corrected in a timely and effective manner, easily leading to localized stress concentration. Furthermore, the rigid anchoring causes the main cable tower to bear more additional bending moments, severely impacting the safety and durability of the tower structure. Simultaneously, according to construction specifications, the catwalk needs to be positioned within a certain range below the main cable during construction. In existing technologies, the catwalk support cables and main cable cannot move synchronously. When their displacement deviations are asynchronous, the spatial height of the catwalk from the main cable changes, affecting construction operations. This is especially problematic for long-span suspension bridges where higher construction precision and structural reliability are required; the aforementioned technical issues further exacerbate construction safety issues.
[0029] Example 1 See Figures 1 to 6 The diagram illustrates the catwalk adaptive adjustment method and integrated cable saddle provided in this invention. The method includes: S1: The saddle 2 is connected to the main saddle 1 via the connecting beam 3 to form an integrated adaptive saddle system; S2: The integrated adaptive cable saddle system is installed on the top of the main cable tower, and the load-bearing cable of the catwalk is anchored on the rotating cable saddle 2 of the integrated adaptive cable saddle system, forming a force transmission path of catwalk load-bearing cable 4-rotating cable saddle 2-connecting beam 3-main cable saddle 1. S3: When displacement or stress change occurs at any position in the integrated adaptive cable saddle system during the use of the catwalk, the integrated adaptive cable saddle system realizes synchronous displacement or overall adaptive adjustment of the rotating cable saddle 2 and the main cable saddle 1 through the force transmission path of the catwalk load-bearing cable 4-rotating cable saddle 2-connecting beam 3-main cable saddle 1.
[0030] In this embodiment, the cable saddle 2 is integrated with the main cable saddle 1 via the connecting beam 3, thus creating a force transmission path of catwalk load-bearing cable 4 - cable saddle 2 - connecting beam 3 - main cable saddle 1 during use. This achieves a novel catwalk adaptive adjustment mechanism: when the catwalk load-bearing cable is anchored to the cable saddle 2 and the main cable is tensioned and fixed to the main saddle cable, and when the catwalk structure experiences displacement and stress changes due to temperature variations or dynamic loads during use, the linkage between the main cable saddle 1 and the cable saddle 2 allows for adjustment via the catwalk load-bearing cable 4 - cable saddle 2. The force transmission path of the connecting beam 2-connecting beam 3-main cable saddle 1 realizes the synchronous sliding or stress dispersion of the integrated structure, thereby compensating for and adaptively adjusting stress and displacement in real time. At the same time, it makes the force transmission path of the entire system clear and the force is uniform and reasonable. It avoids the technical problem of installing the cable saddle 2 device on the main cable tower by using the method of rigid connection of embedded parts, which would lead to the inability to adapt to stress redistribution and displacement deviation caused by changes in construction load and temperature deformation, causing the main cable tower to bear excessive additional bending moment and stress during construction, affecting the structural safety and durability of the main cable tower.
[0031] Optionally, step S1 of the present invention includes: S1.1: Accurately locate the placement position of the connecting beam 3 in the rib transition area 111 of the main cable saddle 1, and fix the connecting beam 3 symmetrically on both sides of the rib plate of the main cable saddle 1. S1.2: Fix the cable saddle 2 to the connecting beam 3; S1.3: Following the operation of step S1.2, multiple cable saddles 2 are symmetrically arranged on the main cable saddle 1, forming an integrated adaptive cable saddle system together with the main cable saddle 1.
[0032] In this embodiment, the connecting beam 3 is precisely and symmetrically positioned in the rib transition zone 111 of the rib plate 11 on the main cable saddle 1, ensuring that the force transmission path is symmetrically distributed along the main cable tower axis and eliminating the torque effect caused by eccentric layout. The connecting beam 3 and the rib plate 11 are connected by a full penetration welding process, so that the integrated adaptive cable saddle system forms a high-rigidity whole, effectively suppressing the risk of weld fatigue cracking when bearing the load of the catwalk load cable 4. The symmetrical layout strategy of the cable saddle 2 further optimizes the stress distribution. When the stress of the load cable on one side suddenly surges, the symmetrical layout of the force transmission system can quickly disperse the abnormal load to the entire main cable saddle 1 structure, preventing local plastic deformation. This design is particularly suitable for construction scenarios with limited space at the top of the tower. The modular installation method allows the cable saddle system to adapt to the needs of bridges with different spans, significantly improving the versatility and economy of the construction scheme.
[0033] Optionally, in step S3 of the present invention, during the use of the catwalk, when the main cable on the main cable saddle 1 and the catwalk load-bearing cable 4 laid on the saddle 2 experience stress changes, the main cable and the catwalk load-bearing cable 4 undergo synchronous displacement, and the stress is dispersed through the force transmission path of the catwalk load-bearing cable 4-saddle 2-connecting beam 3-main cable saddle 1.
[0034] In this embodiment, when the main cable and the catwalk support cable 4 undergo displacement changes due to load or temperature variations, the rigid linkage structure of the integrated adaptive saddle system forces the deformation of the main cable and the support cable to coordinate with each other through the connecting beam 3. This transforms the shear stress originally concentrated at the anchor point of the saddle 2 into uniform compressive stress across the entire main cable saddle 1. This stress redistribution mechanism significantly reduces the peak stress on the base plate of the saddle 2, avoiding the warping deformation problem of the saddle base plate commonly found in traditional split designs. Simultaneously, the continuous force transmission path allows the horizontal tension generated during the main cable erection process to be absorbed by the larger reaction surface of the base 13 of the main cable saddle 1, reducing the risk of tensile stress damage to the tower top concrete and extending the service life of the main cable tower. This design is particularly suitable for the construction of bridges in mountainous areas with large diurnal temperature differences, automatically maintaining the smoothness of the catwalk alignment without human intervention.
[0035] Optionally, in step S3 of the present invention, when the main cable saddle 1 and / or the swivel cable saddle 2 undergo displacement changes during the use of the catwalk, the swivel cable saddle 2 and the main cable saddle 1 are moved synchronously through the force transmission path of the catwalk load-bearing cable 4-swivel cable saddle 2-connecting beam 3-main cable saddle 1.
[0036] In this embodiment, when the main cable saddle 1 is pushed out of place due to the tension of the main cable, the cable saddle 2 can achieve synchronous displacement through the rigid connection of the connecting beam 3, thus avoiding the problem of incoordination between the deformation of the main cable and the catwalk load-bearing cable. This dynamic following characteristic enables the catwalk system to maintain the design alignment throughout the entire construction cycle of main cable erection and beam segment hoisting, avoiding the risk of high-altitude operations caused by alignment deviation.
[0037] According to the construction requirements of suspension bridges, the catwalk system, as a platform for main cable construction, should always be located within a height range of approximately 1.5-1.7 meters below the main cable to provide construction personnel operating space and allow passage for equipment such as wire winding machines and cable tensioning machines. However, during the main cable erection process, as the number of cable strands increases and the main cable's self-weight gradually increases, its alignment changes and its sag increases, causing the space between the catwalk and the main cable to shrink. This may hinder the normal passage of construction equipment and affect subsequent operations.
[0038] In this invention, by achieving synchronous displacement of the main cable and the catenary support cable, the relative position between the two can be effectively controlled, and a reasonable construction clearance can always be maintained, thereby ensuring the smooth passage of equipment such as the wire winding machine and the cable tensioning machine, and ensuring the continuity and safety of the main cable construction.
[0039] Meanwhile, the cat-path adaptive adjustment method of the present invention can... While dispersing local stress, it achieves synchronous displacement, ensuring that the operating space of the catwalk and the main cable changes synchronously, ensuring construction stability and minimizing the negative impact caused by uncontrollable external forces in the natural environment. It can meet the construction accuracy requirements of long-span suspension bridges and is particularly suitable for construction environments with limited space at the top of the main tower, enabling efficient utilization of confined spaces.
[0040] Example 2 See Figures 2 to 6 The diagram shows an integrated adaptive cable saddle system provided in this invention, which is used to implement the catwalk adaptive adjustment method in Embodiment 1. Specifically, it includes: a main cable saddle 1, multiple rotating cable saddles 2 and two connecting beams 3. Two connecting beams 3 are horizontally arranged on the rib plate 11 of the main cable saddle 1 along the length direction of the main cable saddle 1, and are symmetrically arranged about the main cable saddle 1. Multiple cable saddles 2 are symmetrically arranged on the connecting beam 3, forming an integrated structure of cable saddle 2-connecting beam 3-main cable saddle 1.
[0041] In this embodiment, the saddle 2 is integrated with the main saddle 1 via the connecting beam 3, thus forming a force transmission path of catwalk load-bearing cable 4-saddle 2-connecting beam 3-main saddle 1 when the catwalk is in use. The symmetrical arrangement of the double connecting beams 3 forms a stable structural system, which changes the load borne by the rib plate 11 of the main saddle 1 from unidirectional bending to axial compression, significantly improving the buckling critical load of the cable saddle system. The design of multiple saddles 2 symmetrically distributed along the connecting beam 3 realizes the anchorage of the catwalk load-bearing cable 4 and avoids the stress concentration effect caused by traditional single-point anchorage.
[0042] This embodiment implements a novel adaptive adjustment mechanism for the catwalk. When the catwalk load-bearing cable 4 is tensioned and fixed on the saddle 2, and the main cable is tensioned and fixed on the main saddle cable, when the catwalk structure experiences displacement and stress changes due to temperature variations or dynamic loads during use, the linkage between the main saddle 1 and the saddle 2 enables synchronous sliding or stress dispersion of the integrated structure through the force transmission path of the catwalk load-bearing cable 4-saddle 2-connecting beam 3-main saddle 1. This allows for real-time compensation and adaptive adjustment of stress and displacement, avoiding the technical problem of rigidly connecting the saddle 2 device with embedded parts on the main tower, which would prevent the main tower from adapting to stress redistribution and displacement deviations caused by changes in construction loads and temperature deformation, thus causing the main tower to bear excessive additional bending moments and stresses during construction and affecting the structural safety and durability of the main tower. Meanwhile, the main cable saddle 1 and the switch cable saddle 2 are integrated into the design of this invention, which enables synchronous displacement of the main cable and the catenary support cable. This effectively controls the relative position between the main cable and the catenary support cable, and always maintains a reasonable construction clearance, thereby ensuring the smooth passage of equipment such as the wire winding machine and the cable tensioning machine, and ensuring the continuity and safety of the main cable construction.
[0043] Optionally, refer to Figures 5 to 6 In this invention, the main cable saddle 1 has multiple ribs 11, and the main cable saddle 1 also includes a base 13 and a saddle body 12; the base 13 is fixedly installed on the main cable tower; the saddle body 12 is fixedly installed on the base 13; multiple ribs 11 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the saddle body 12, and the ribs 11 on the same side of the saddle body 12 are all arranged in parallel; the lower end of the rib 11 extends to the horizontal through the rib transition area 111 to form a mounting surface 112, which is used to fix and install the connecting beam 3.
[0044] In this embodiment, the mounting surface 112 formed by the horizontal extension of the rib plate 11 provides a full-size welding base for the connecting beam 3. Its large contact area significantly improves the shear bearing capacity of the weld and avoids the stress concentration problem of traditional spot welding under dynamic load. The extended platform structure allows the welding position of the connecting beam 3 to avoid the stress-sensitive area of the main cable saddle 1. The horizontal mounting surface 112 also serves as a construction positioning reference, improving the installation accuracy.
[0045] Optionally, refer to Figure 4 In this invention, the connecting beam 33 is an I-beam, and the bottom surface of the I-beam is fixedly connected to the mounting surface 112; the top surface of the I-beam is used to install the cable saddle 2.
[0046] Optionally, the cable saddle 2 in this invention includes a main body 21 and a clamp 22; the main body 21 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the I-beam by fasteners 23; the clamp 22 is fixedly disposed on the upper side of the main body 21 for fixing the catwalk load-bearing cable 4.
[0047] In this embodiment, the base plate of the main body 21 and the I-beam can be connected by bolts, and multiple anti-loosening mechanisms are set up to maintain the stability of the preload after bearing cyclic loads, thus solving the problem of bolt loosening caused by wind vibration of bridges in mountainous areas; the fixture 22 adopts an independent casting process and uses high wear-resistant alloy materials to improve the service life of key contact surfaces without increasing the overall cost.
[0048] Furthermore, the fastener 23 includes bolts with a diameter of 500 mm, and each body 21 is fastened to the I-beam by at least four bolts; specifically, the fastener 23 includes nuts, bolts, washers and spring washers.
[0049] Optionally, the clamp 22 in this invention is an adjustable clamping mechanism to adapt to load-bearing cables of different diameters.
[0050] Optionally, the length of the I-beam in this invention is consistent with the lateral length of the main cable saddle 1, the width of its lower surface is not greater than the width of the mounting surface 112, and it is welded to the central axis of the mounting surface 112.
[0051] In this embodiment, the constraint that the width of the I-beam is not greater than the width of the mounting surface 112 ensures that the welding heat-affected zone is completely within the load-bearing range of the extension platform, preventing its stress from spreading to the core stress area of the main cable saddle 1; the design that the length is strictly equal to that of the main cable saddle 1 makes the end of the connecting beam 3 and the rib plate 11 form a closed force system, improving the torsional stiffness of the system; the central axis welding criterion eliminates the system bending moment amplification effect caused by small off-center loads.
