Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of steel strand relaxation, and particularly relates to a steel strand relaxation system for ultra-short exposed steel strands of a wind power generation tower barrel. Background Technique

[0002] In the field of wind power generation, the prestressed tensioning technology in tower barrel construction is crucial. This technology establishes prestress through tensioning machinery, and relaxation is the truncation step after tensioning. However, in the relaxation of grouped riveted steel strands of wind turbine tower barrels, the existing technology faces challenges.

[0003] The existing prestressed tensioning and relaxation technologies mainly target standard-length steel strands. However, steel strands are often used in the grouped riveting of wind turbine tower barrels. After tensioning, the elongation of these steel strands is much greater than the reserved length, resulting in inconvenient direct relaxation. Forcing relaxation may not be able to complete the overall relaxation work at once, thus bringing safety risks.

[0004] A dedicated relaxation system is designed for the relaxation of ultra-short steel strands in the grouped riveting of wind turbine tower barrels. This system solves the problem of excessive elongation of steel strands through a single-hole connector and focuses on improving safety performance, providing a more reliable and safe solution for tower barrel construction.

Then, the upper end of the third fixing block is fitted with the lower end of the second fixing block, and then the jack is opened. The upper end of the telescopic end of the jack is supported on the second fixing block through the third fixing block, so that the lower end of the telescopic end of the jack pulls the fourth fixing block, thereby making the second steel strand pull the first steel strand downward.

[0017] 3. When the first steel strand performs the tension release work, by moving the clamping ring up and down on the first steel strand, the first steel strand can be intermittently fixed, thereby preventing the lack of a fixing structure during the tension release process and causing potential safety hazards in the follow-up.
