Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cable hoisting system installation and construction technology, specifically to a method for adjusting the length of the main cable by inserting sleepers into the ground anchor backpack of a cable system. Background Technology

[0002] Cable-stayed hoisting systems consist of a main cable, tower, ground anchors, and guy wires. The main cable is the primary load-bearing component, responsible for the weight being lifted, and has always been a key focus in design and construction. For the wire rope, its sag during installation is a critical control indicator. In actual construction, the sag of the main cable must be repeatedly adjusted to ensure it remains within the design tolerance range before lifting operations can proceed; otherwise, the entire system will face significant safety hazards.

[0003] like Figure 1 As shown, the mid-span sag of the main cable in the installed state is represented by f. a The mid-span sag in the working state is represented by f. b This indicates that sag is a crucial parameter of the main cable alignment, directly determining the stress on the main cable under load. The main cable of the cable-stayed hoisting system is installed in the middle of the tower (indicated by the black line). When the cable-stayed hoisting system is performing hoisting operations, the main cable needs to be moved laterally to the working position (indicated by the red line). After the lateral movement is completed, f... a <f b In certain situations, the length of the main cable needs to be adjusted to reduce the mid-span sag error between the working state and the installation state.

[0004] like Figure 2 As shown, the method for adjusting the main cable length generally involves using sleeper shims to temporarily increase the radius of the anchorage backpack, thus increasing the length of the main cable wound around the backpack and decreasing the sag of the main cable in the mid-span. Adjusting the cable length is a relatively iterative and complex process. The thickness of the sleeper shims is usually provided by construction experience or obtained by comparing similar projects. This method is more suitable for bridges with smaller spans, but for large-span bridge systems, there are often few reference cases for the thickness of the shims. Furthermore, the shim thickness obtained from experience often deviates from the actual thickness, requiring temporary additions or removals of sleepers and multiple adjustments to obtain the appropriate cable length and mid-span sag, making the corresponding construction procedures complex and the cable length adjustment inefficient. In addition, because the radii of the anchorage backpacks vary, the empirical value of the shim thickness can only be used interchangeably between different projects. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the technical problems mentioned in the background section, this invention provides a method for adjusting the main cable length using ground anchor backpack padding sleepers in a cable system, which can improve the efficiency of main cable length adjustment.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] A method for adjusting the length of the main cable in a cable system by inserting sleepers into the main anchor backpack of the cable system, thereby increasing the length of the main cable wound around the backpack and reducing the sag of the main cable in the middle span, includes the following steps:

[0008] S1. Through analytical geometry, establish the relationship between the main anchor backpack radius, sleeper thickness and cable length adjustment value. Given that the backpack radius and cable length adjustment value are known, substitute the known main anchor backpack radius and cable length adjustment value into the established relationship to calculate the sleeper thickness.

[0009] S2, the main anchor of the cable system is padded with sleepers. The thickness of the sleepers padded is the same as the thickness of the sleepers calculated in step S1, so that the sag of the main cable in the middle span can be adjusted to the set value.

[0010] Furthermore, a rectangular coordinate system is established with the center of the sleeper of the padding as the origin, the x-axis as the horizontal line, and the y-axis as the vertical line; the center of the main anchor backpack is denoted as C2, and its coordinates are ( , The radius R of the main anchor backpack is a known quantity; the center of the sleeper is denoted as C1, with coordinates (0, 0), and the radius r is a quantity to be determined, where r is the thickness of the sleeper; let... and Let B be the common tangent between the main anchor backpack and the sleeper.

The point of tangency with the main anchor backpack; Let the horizontal angle between the lines connecting the centers of the main anchor backpack and the sleeper be the same as the angle of the main cable, and this is a known quantity; then the cable length adjustment value is...

[0040] The method described above for adjusting the main cable length by inserting sleepers into the anchor backpack of the cable system establishes a relationship between the radius of the main anchor backpack, the thickness of the sleepers, and the adjustment value of the cable length through analytical geometry. Given that the radius of the main anchor backpack and the adjustment value of the cable length are known, the thickness value of the main anchor backpack can be obtained relatively accurately based on the relationship. During the adjustment of the main cable sag, the adjustment can be completed quickly by inserting sleepers, avoiding repeated operations during construction and thus improving construction efficiency.

[0079] In this embodiment, tangent points B, C, and The specific process for calculating the coordinates is as follows:

[0080] For a sleeper, the coordinates of any point on its circle are ( The following relationship exists between the radius and the radius: (twenty one);

[0081] For a primary anchor knapsack, the coordinates of any point on its circle are ( The following relationship exists between the radius and the radius: (twenty two);

[0082] Let line segment If the slope is k, then the equation of the tangent line is: line segment The slope is Then the equation of the tangent line is: If the slope of line segment C1C2 is k1, then ;

[0083] The angle between C1 and C2 is ,so ;

[0084] Since B and C are the points of tangency of the common tangent, and C1B and C2C are the radii of the two circles passing through the points of tangency, C1B⊥AC, C2C⊥AC, and C1B∥C2C.

[0085] Draw a perpendicular line C1D through the center C1 of the circle. C1D⊥C2C, and the perpendicular point is D. Therefore, C1D∥AC, and C1B= DC=r.

[0087] Depend on According to the relationship between sides and angles and the Pythagorean theorem, Solving for or .

[0088] From the center point C1 to the common tangent The distance is r, so Solving for ,so The corresponding tangent equation is expressed as:

[0089] (twenty three);

[0090] The corresponding tangent equation is expressed as:

[0105] ;

[0106] ;

[0107] .

[0120] Since the above calculation process is relatively complex, this invention uses the commonly used main anchor backpack size and main cable angle, and substitutes the relationship between the main anchor backpack radius, sleeper thickness and cable length adjustment value to obtain the following table, which facilitates the query of relevant parameters during construction.

[0122]
