[0019] The variable diameter steel cage with controllable automatic diameter changing function of the utility model is described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0020] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0021] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 The variable diameter steel cage with controllable automatic diameter-changing function of this embodiment can automatically expand the variable diameter steel cage when the steel cage is lowered into the pile hole to achieve the diameter change of the steel cage, without manual control of the expansion, to avoid the situation that the variable diameter steel cage is stuck and cannot be opened, affecting the subsequent grouting operation; in this embodiment, it mainly includes a central tube 1, through which the bearing capacity, stability and drainage performance of the pile can be improved. The outer circumference of the central tube 1 is evenly distributed with a plurality of steel bars 2 arranged along its length direction and can be expanded outward, and the steel bars 2 are sleeved with multiple layers of steel wire ropes 5. When the steel cage is expanded, the steel wire ropes are passed to increase the bearing capacity and stability of the steel cage. The bottom end of the central tube 1 is detachably provided with a guide cap 6. The guide cap 6 is a conical structure designed with upper and lower openings. The guide cap 6 is convenient for guiding when the steel cage is lowered into the pile hole.

[0022] To achieve the expansion of the reinforcement cage. Figure 1 and Figure 2In this embodiment, both ends of the central tube 1 are fixedly provided with fixed flanges 3 perpendicular to the central tube 1. The upper part of the central tube 1 is provided with a movable flange 4 that can slide along its length direction and drive the steel bar 2 to unfold. The fixed flange 3 and the movable flange 4 are both provided with placement grooves 8 for placing the steel bar 2, which is convenient for arranging the tightened steel bar 2. A power spring 9 is provided between the movable flange 4 and the upper fixed flange 3 to provide power for the automatic expansion of the steel bar 2. The bottom end of the movable flange 4 and the inner circle of the top of the lower fixed flange 3 are circumferentially hinged with a plurality of connecting rods 10 corresponding to the steel bar 2, and each of the connecting rods 10 is movably hinged with the corresponding steel bar 2. When the movable flange 4 moves, the steel bar 2 is expanded or tightened by the connecting rods 10.

[0023] When the steel cage is tightened, the steel bar 2 is in the placement groove 8, and the movable flange 4 overcomes the resistance of the power spring 9 and approaches the fixed flange 3, so as to facilitate transportation. When the steel cage is unfolded, the power spring 9 pushes the movable flange 4 on the central tube 1 to a position away from the fixed flange 3. At this time, the movable flange 4 unfolds the corresponding steel bar 2 outward through the connecting rod 10 during the downward movement until the steel wire rope 5 is completely stretched out.

[0024] In order to drive the steel cage to expand. In this embodiment, see Figure 1-Figure 3 , a control mechanism 7 capable of blocking the movement of the movable flange 4 is arranged inside the central tube 1. The control mechanism 7 includes a through hole 71 penetrating the central tube 1 below the movable flange 4, and the through hole 71 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the central tube 1. Limiting pins 72 are slidably arranged inside the through holes 71 on both sides of the central tube 1, and the top of the limiting pin 72 abuts against the bottom end of the movable flange 4 located at the top. A roller 12 is rotatably arranged on the side wall of the through hole 71, and the roller 12 abuts against the side of the limiting pin 72. The friction resistance and difficulty of the limiting pin 72 when moving in the through hole 71 are reduced, and the smoothness of its sliding in the through hole 71 is increased.

[0025] A control rod 73 is slidably provided in the middle of the central tube 1, and a pull rod 74 is hingedly provided at the top end of the control rod 73, and the pull rod 74 is hingedly provided with the corresponding end of the limit pin 72. The lower part of the pull rod 74 passes through the bottom end of the guide cap 6, and a control plate 75 is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the pull rod 74. A detachable baffle 11 is provided between the guide cap 6 and the control plate 75, which can block the movement of the pull rod 74 and realize the limit of the limit pin 72.

[0026] Before the steel cage is lowered into the pile hole, the limit pin 72 is inside the through hole 71, and the control plate is blocked from moving by the baffle 11. The limit pin 72 blocks the movable flange 4 from moving, and tightens the steel cage. When it is necessary to lower the pile hole, the baffle 11 is removed first, and the steel cage is lowered into the pile hole until the control plate is completely in contact with the ground at the bottom of the pile hole. At this time, the gravity of the steel cage above continues to press down the control plate, and the control plate moves upward along the central tube 1, so that the limit pin 72 is pulled from the through hole 71 into the central tube 1 through the pull rod 74, and the limit on the movable flange 4 is released. In this process, the friction force is reduced by the rolling rod 12. At this time, the movable flange 4 moves downward along the central tube 1 under the action of the power spring 9, thereby realizing the automatic expansion of the steel cage. Then the steel cage is lifted up a certain distance, and the steel cage is away from the ground, so as to facilitate the subsequent casting and molding.

[0027] The method of using the variable diameter steel cage with controllable automatic diameter changing function of the utility model is as follows: first, when the steel cage is tightened, the steel bar 2 is in the placement groove 8. At this time, the movable flange 4 overcomes the resistance of the power spring 9 under the action of the limit pin 72 and approaches the fixed flange 3. At the same time, the baffle 11 blocks the movement of the control plate, thereby facilitating transportation.

[0028] When it is necessary to drill a pile hole, the baffle 11 is first removed, and the steel cage is lowered into the pile hole until the control plate is completely in contact with the ground at the bottom of the pile hole. In this process, the guide cap 6 is used to facilitate the guidance of the steel cage when it is lowered into the pile hole. At this time, the control plate is continuously pressed down by the gravity of the steel cage above, and the control plate moves upward along the central tube 1, so that the limit pin 72 is pulled into the central tube 1 from the through hole 71 through the pull rod 74, and the limit on the movable flange 4 is released. In this process, the friction force is reduced by the rolling rod 12. At this time, the movable flange 4 moves downward along the central tube 1 under the action of the power spring 9, and the corresponding steel bars 2 are unfolded outward through the connecting rod 10 until the steel wire rope 5 is completely stretched to increase the bearing capacity and stability of the steel cage. Thereby, the automatic unfolding of the steel cage is realized. Then the steel cage is lifted upward by a certain distance, and the steel cage is away from the ground, so as to facilitate the subsequent casting and molding. Thereby, the variable diameter steel cage is automatically unfolded to realize the diameter change of the steel cage without the need for manual control of the unfolding, thereby avoiding the situation where the variable diameter steel cage is stuck and cannot be opened, thus affecting the subsequent grouting operation.
