Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of engineering machinery technology, specifically to a vibratory screw-tightening device for a spiral anchor. Background Technology

[0002] Helical anchor foundations are a widely used type of foundation in engineering structures. Due to their unique construction and superior load-bearing performance, they have received increasing attention and application in the engineering field in recent years. Helical anchor foundations were initially mainly used in the foundations of power line towers and communication towers. They work by rotating a helical anchor disc deep into the soil, generating enormous tensile and lateral load-bearing forces. With technological advancements, the application of helical anchors has gradually expanded to multiple fields such as construction, bridges, and marine engineering.

[0003] Existing spiral anchor devices often face multiple challenges during the tightening process: First, traditional tightening methods rely on a single mechanical torque, which can easily lead to excessive resistance, insufficient torque, or even anchor rod displacement in complex geological conditions (such as hard rock, cohesive soil, or loose strata), making it difficult to achieve efficient anchoring. Second, although vibration-assisted tightening can reduce resistance, the connection between the anchor rod and the vibration component is prone to loosening and failure under continuous vibration, affecting the transmission stability of the anchor rod and the drive mechanism. After long-term use, the connection may break or loosen, reducing the overall reliability of the device. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0016] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] Please see Figure 1-12 The present invention provides a technical solution: A vibratory screw-tightening device for a spiral anchor, as shown in the instruction manual. Figure 1 As shown, it includes: Anchor bolt 1, which is connected to several anchor discs 2, which are spiral anchor discs.

[0018] The screwing assembly includes a connecting screw 3 and a drive mechanism. The connecting screw 3 is used to connect the drive mechanism and the anchor rod 1 to each other, and the drive mechanism is used to drive the anchor rod 1 to rotate.

[0019] A vibration assembly is installed on the anchor bolt 1 and is used to drive the anchor bolt 1 to generate rotational vibration around its axis.

[0020] The reinforcement assembly includes a vibration energy storage mechanism, a pneumatic reinforcement mechanism, and an electromagnetic reinforcement mechanism. The vibration energy storage mechanism is used to convert vibration energy into electrical energy and compressed air and input them into the electromagnetic reinforcement mechanism and the pneumatic reinforcement mechanism, respectively. The pneumatic reinforcement mechanism is used to reinforce the connecting screw 3, and the electromagnetic reinforcement device is used to electromagnetically reinforce the connection between the anchor rod 1 and the vibration assembly.

[0021] The bottom of anchor rod 1 has a conical structure, which facilitates construction. Anchor plates 2 are evenly spaced on anchor rod 1.

[0022] The drive mechanism includes a drive motor 4, which is a quasi-static torque motor. The torque is applied in a unidirectional direction, which is the turning direction of the helical anchor. The drive motor 4 is used to drive the anchor rod 1 to rotate. During construction, as the turning depth increases and the anchor plate 2 enters the soil, the resistance torque of the soil on the anchor rod 1 and the anchor plate 2 gradually increases. The torque provided by the drive motor 4 is used to overcome the resistance torque of the soil on the helical anchor.

[0023] The vibration assembly includes a device box 5, a fixed support 6, electrode blocks 7, an actuation bracket 8, and response blocks 9. The device box 5 is used to install other components of the high-frequency vibration assembly. The fixed support 6 is set inside the device box 5, which is used to connect the device box 5 and the output shaft of the rotary motor. Four electrode blocks 7 are arranged around the fixed support 6. The actuation bracket 8 is connected to the anchor rod 1. Four response blocks 9 are arranged around the actuation bracket 8. The response block 9 includes a permanent magnet 901 and a coil 902. The current in the electrode block 7 is adjusted to drive the response block 9 to reciprocate. The amplitude and frequency of the reciprocating motion of the response block 9 are controlled by adjusting the magnitude and direction of the current in the electrode block 7. The reciprocating torque excitation received by the actuation bracket 8 is transmitted to the anchor rod 1 to which it is connected.

[0024] An actuation bracket 8 is installed through the bottom of the equipment box 5. A connector 10 is provided at the bottom of the actuation bracket 8. The connector 10 is used to cooperate with the connecting groove 101 to connect the anchor rod 1 and the equipment box 5. The anchor rod 1 is provided with the connecting groove 101. A first insertion hole 102 is provided through the connecting groove 101, and a second insertion hole 1001 is provided through the connector 10. The first insertion hole 102 and the second insertion hole 1001 are the same size. By inserting the connector 10 into the connecting groove 101, the first insertion hole 102 and the second insertion hole 1001 will be aligned to form a complete through hole. Then, by inserting the connecting screw 3 into the through hole formed by the first insertion hole 102 and the second insertion hole 1001 in sequence, and fixing the connecting screw 3 with a nut, the actuation bracket 8 and the anchor rod 1 are fixedly connected to each other.

[0025] The connector 10 has a reinforced cavity inside, which is used to install the vibration energy storage mechanism. The reinforced cavity and the second insertion hole 1001 are interconnected. The vibration energy storage mechanism includes a clamping block 11, a clamping spring 12, a connecting rod 13, a piston block 14, a cylinder 15, a pressing block 16, a protective shell 17, an annular piezoelectric ceramic 18, and an energy storage battery 19. The clamping block 11 is arranged around the second insertion hole 1001. The clamping spring 12 is used to drive the clamping block 11 to clamp the connecting screw 3. In this embodiment, three clamping blocks 11 are provided, and the clamping blocks 11 are slidably connected to the reinforced cavity. When in use, the clamping blocks 11 slide along the radial direction of the first insertion hole 102 (and the second insertion hole 1001). The clamping block 11 is connected to the connecting rod 13, which is used to install the clamping block 11, the piston block 14, and the pressing block 16. The connecting rod 13 is also connected to the piston block 14, which is used to connect with the cylinder. The cylinder 15 works in conjunction with the pneumatic push rod 20 to continuously compress air. The piston block 14 is slidably connected to the cylinder 15. The connecting rod 13 passes through the cylinder 15. A sealing ring is provided at the connection between the cylinder 15 and the connecting rod 13 to achieve dynamic sealing. The end of the connecting rod 13 away from the clamping block 11 is connected to a pressing block 16. One end of the pressing block 16 is movably inserted into the protective shell 17. The protective shell 17 is used to protect the annular piezoelectric ceramic 18. The annular piezoelectric ceramic 18 is provided inside the protective shell 17. When the connecting screw 3 presses the clamping block 11, the pressing block 16 corresponding to the clamping block 11 will press the annular piezoelectric ceramic 18. The annular piezoelectric ceramic 18 generates an electric charge and stores it in the energy storage battery 19. The annular piezoelectric ceramic 18 is electrically connected to the energy storage battery 19. An electromagnetic relay is provided inside the energy storage battery 19 to control the circuit opening and closing of the electromagnet 23.

[0026] The pneumatic reinforcement mechanism includes a pneumatic push rod 20 and a compensation block 21. The pneumatic push rod 20 is connected to the air tank through an air pipe. One end of the pneumatic push rod 20 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the reinforcement cavity. The compensation block 21 is connected to the other end of the pneumatic push rod 20. The compensation block 21 is used to clamp the connecting screw 3, thereby ensuring the stability of vibration transmission. The pneumatic push rod 20 is equipped with an electromagnetic pressure relief valve 22, which is used to adjust the internal pressure of the pneumatic push rod 20.

[0027] The electromagnetic reinforcement mechanism includes an electromagnet 23, which is disposed on the side wall of the connector 10 and electrically connected to the energy storage battery 19. By energizing the electromagnet 23, the anchor rod 1 is attracted, thereby ensuring the stability of vibration transmission.

[0028] Working principle: When in use, the drive motor 4 drives the anchor rod 1 to rotate. During the rotation, the current inside the electrode block 7 is changed to drive the response block 9 to move. When the response block 9 moves, it will drive the actuator bracket 8 to move, thereby driving the anchor rod 1 to vibrate at high frequency. When vibration causes wear, resulting in loosening of the connection between connector 10 and anchor rod 1, relative movement occurs between connector 10 and anchor rod 1, causing connecting screw 3 to move. When connecting screw 3 moves, clamping block 11 moves radially along insertion hole 1001. When clamping block 11 moves, connecting rod 13 drives piston block 14 to move along cylinder 15, compressing air into pneumatic push rod 20. When pneumatic push rod 20 extends, it drives compensation block 21 to clamp connecting screw 3 and simultaneously drives pressing block 16 to strike annular piezoelectric ceramic 18. The electrical energy generated by annular piezoelectric ceramic 18 is input into energy storage battery 19. When the voltage in energy storage battery 19 reaches the set value, energy storage battery 19 energizes electromagnet 23, thereby further ensuring the stability of vibration transmission through electromagnetic adsorption.
