[0002] At present, in the construction of bridges, piers, etc., the upper and lower steel cages are usually connected by straight thread sleeves. During the on-site construction process, the lower steel cage is first hoisted to the designated position, and then the upper steel cage is hoisted to align the main bars of the lower steel cage with those of the upper steel cage. Finally, the upper and lower steel cages are connected by straight thread sleeves. On the one hand, the steel cage may be deformed during transportation and hoisting, resulting in deformation of the main bars of the steel cage, uneven end faces of the steel cage, and uneven surfaces of the steel bars when the steel bars are threaded. On the other hand, the steel cage is large in size and heavy in weight. During the hoisting process, the hoisting angle of the steel cage is difficult to control, and the lower steel cage is easy to be uneven. It is difficult to ensure that there is no gap between the main bars of the upper and lower steel cages by installing the steel cage only by hoisting equipment. Generally, more than two manual labor is required to assist in the hoisting construction. The existing technology will cause gaps between the main bars of the upper and lower steel cages, so that the construction quality cannot meet the requirements of the specifications, the labor intensity of the workers is high, and there are hidden dangers in production safety.
