Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of building construction technology, and in particular relates to a precast column positioning device and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] In the construction of prefabricated concrete structures, the connection node between the precast column and the foundation cap is a critical part that affects the overall structural load-bearing capacity, seismic performance, and construction quality. The positioning accuracy of this node is extremely high.

[0003] Currently, common positioning methods mostly employ traditional shim stacking adjustment or simple single-point positioning devices. These methods have significant drawbacks: First, positioning accuracy is difficult to control consistently, heavily influenced by human operation, and fails to meet high-precision design requirements; second, the adjustment process is cumbersome and time-consuming, requiring repeated measurements and corrections, resulting in low construction efficiency; third, existing devices lack versatility, often requiring replacement or customization of specialized clamps when the cross-sectional dimensions of the precast column change or the surface flatness of the foundation cap is poor, leading to insufficient adaptability and increased construction costs and complexity. Furthermore, these methods have low safety redundancy, posing a risk of instability to the precast column during hoisting and fine-tuning.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a high-efficiency positioning device and supporting construction method that can achieve rapid, accurate, multi-directional flexible adjustment and adapt to prefabricated columns of different specifications, so as to improve the construction quality and efficiency of prefabricated buildings. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a precast column positioning device and its usage method, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A precast column positioning device includes four vertical rods arranged at the four corners of a rectangle. The bottom of each vertical rod is fixed to a base, which is then fixedly connected to a foundation platform. Horizontal rods are fixedly connected between the two vertical rods on the left and the two vertical rods on the right. Two longitudinal rods are slidably installed between the two horizontal rods. Two adjusting units are slidably installed on each longitudinal rod, and a guide rod passes through each adjusting unit. A positioning plate is fixedly fitted onto the middle of each guide rod. The inner sides of the four positioning plates have L-shaped slots for limiting the four edges of the precast column. A positioning cone is fixed to the bottom of each guide rod. A sliding positioning assembly is installed on the foundation platform below each positioning cone. The sliding positioning assembly includes a base, which is fixed to the foundation platform. A base plate is slidably installed on the base, and a connecting rod is fixed to the base plate. The top of the connecting rod has a conical positioning sleeve that is adapted to the positioning cone.

[0008] Preferably, the fixing base includes a first fixing plate, and first screws are inserted through the four corners of the fixing base. The first screws are pre-embedded in the foundation platform. Each first screw is fitted with a pad and a first nut in sequence at the part that passes through the first fixing plate. Four second screws are fixed in the middle of the first fixing plate. A second fixing plate is installed above the first fixing plate. The second screws are fitted with second nuts after passing through the second fixing plate. The bottom of the vertical rod is welded and fixed to the top of the second fixing plate.

[0009] Preferably, a groove is provided in the middle of the two crossbars, and the two longitudinal bars are slidably installed in the groove. The two ends of the longitudinal bars are threaded with wing nuts.

[0010] Preferably, the adjusting unit includes an adjusting block, which is slidably sleeved on the longitudinal rod, and the guide rod passes through the adjusting block vertically. An adjusting screw is threadedly connected to one side of the adjusting block, and the adjusting screw abuts against the guide rod.

[0011] Preferably, an adjustment handle is fixed on the adjusting screw.

[0012] The present invention also provides a method for using the above-mentioned precast column positioning device, comprising the following steps:

[0013] S1. Fixed frame: The four vertical rods are securely installed in the predetermined positions on the foundation platform through the fixing seats at their bottoms;

[0014] S2. Preliminary alignment: Based on the design drawings and on-site layout, precisely align the bases of the four sliding positioning components onto the surface of the foundation platform and temporarily fix them.

[0015] S3. Bottom reference setting: According to the cross-sectional dimensions of the precast column to be installed, slide the bottom plate of each sliding positioning component along the base to make the position of the four conical positioning sleeves correspond to the design corner point position of the precast column, forming an accurate bottom positioning reference, and temporarily fix the bottom plate.

[0016] S4. Upper Adjustment and Centering: Loosen the wing nuts at both ends of the longitudinal rod, move the longitudinal rod along the slide groove of the crossbar, and drive the positioning plate and positioning cone to move back and forth; at the same time, slide the adjusting block to drive the positioning plate and positioning cone to move left and right; loosen the adjusting screw and move the guide rod up and down to adjust the height of the positioning plate; through the above multi-directional adjustment, make each positioning cone accurately aligned with the corresponding conical positioning sleeve below.

[0017] S5. Insertion, centering and benchmark locking: Insert the positioning cone into the corresponding conical positioning sleeve, and use the conical surface to achieve automatic centering and verticality correction. Tighten the wing nut and adjusting screw. At this time, the space enclosed by the L-shaped slots of the four positioning plates constitutes the precise installation benchmark for the upper part of the precast column.

[0018] S6. Lifting and fine-tuning: Use lifting equipment to lift the precast column above the positioning device and slowly lower it so that its edges initially enter the L-shaped slots of the four positioning plates; when the bottom of the precast column is close to the foundation platform, use the calibrated positioning plates to finely adjust its posture to ensure that it fits perfectly.

[0019] S7. Final Positioning and Verification: Fully position the precast column and check the fit between its bottom and the base of the sliding positioning component; use instruments such as a level and theodolite to verify the axial position, elevation, and verticality of the precast column to confirm that it meets the design requirements.

[0020] S8. Grouting and Fixing: After completing the positioning verification, grouting is carried out at the connection node between the precast column and the foundation cap. Once the grout has reached the required strength, this positioning device can be removed.

[0021] This invention provides a precast column positioning device and its usage method, which has the following beneficial effects.

[0022] 1. High positioning accuracy: Through a three-level positioning system of "sliding positioning component (bottom reference) + multi-directional adjustable frame (upper reference) + conical sleeve centering mechanism", the spatial position (X, Y, Z directions and verticality) of the precast column is precisely controlled, with an accuracy far exceeding that of traditional methods.

[0023] 2. Highly efficient and convenient adjustment: The forward and backward sliding of the longitudinal rod, the left and right sliding of the adjusting block, and the up and down movement of the guide rod are independent of each other and can all be quickly and steplessly adjusted by simply tightening or loosening the nut or screw, which greatly saves on-site adjustment time.

[0024] 3. High adaptability: By moving the base plate of the sliding positioning component and adjusting the upper frame in multiple directions, the device can adapt to precast columns with different cross-sectional dimensions, has good versatility, and reduces the number of special tools.

[0025] 4. Construction safety and reliability: The device itself forms a stable rigid positioning frame. During the hoisting and descent of the precast column, it is guided and constrained by the L-shaped groove, making it less prone to overturning. The cone sleeve centering mechanism ensures automatic correction of verticality, reducing human error and safety hazards. Attached Figure Description
