Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of bridge engineering, and particularly relates to a test device for the force transmission of parallel wires of a main cable under circumferential pressure. Background Technique

[0002] The suspension bridge is the bridge type with the largest spanning capacity, and the main cable composed of parallel high-strength wires is used as the main load-bearing member. The main cable runs through each span, and the sling is connected by a cable clamp in the span to bear the deck load. Therefore, the reliable connection performance between the main cable and the cable clamp is directly related to the safety of the whole bridge structure system. In terms of the essential mechanical mechanism, the main cable wires in the cable clamp area are under the circumferential force of the cable clamp, and thus the internal wires are compressed and generate frictional force to prevent slipping with the cable clamp. Therefore, it is very important to accurately master the internal force transmission mechanism of the main cable wires under the circumferential force.

[0003] The main cable is composed of thousands of discrete parallel wires, and there are a large number of voids when viewed from the cross-section. Under the circumferential tightening pressure of the rigid cable clamp body, the discrete parallel wires not only undergo elastic deformation, but also move relative to each other in position and are compacted by extrusion. These factors make it extremely difficult to establish an analytical theoretical model for the pressure transmission mode and distribution of the internal wires of the main cable. Although the finite element method can establish a contact analysis model between a small number of wires, it is obviously not enough to reveal the distribution law of the internal wires of the main cable of the suspension bridge. Due to the huge number of wires and the strong nonlinearity of the contact problem, the finite element model is prone to non-convergence problems, and the existing computer performance cannot meet the solution requirements. Therefore, it is the most realistic and reliable choice to test the internal pressure of the parallel wires of the main cable under the circumferential tightening pressure of the cable clamp by experimental means. However, no ready-made scheme can be used for reference at present.

[0004] The patent (application publication number CN117634160A) provides a detailed calculation method to determine the mechanical properties of the semi-parallel wires of the stay cable. Through a variety of mathematical models and calculation steps, the influence of the circumferential pressure on the mechanical properties of the wires can be evaluated in detail. However, the complexity of the method and the dependence on the assumed conditions may have certain limitations in practical applications, and there is a lack of experimental verification. Compared with the actual experiment, although the theoretical model can provide detailed calculation results, it is not as intuitive and reliable as the experimental data. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] In order to clarify the force transmission form of the parallel wires of the main cable under the circumferential pressure, the utility model provides a test device for the force transmission of the parallel wires of the main cable under the circumferential pressure.

[0006] A test device for the force transmission of parallel wires in the main cable under circumferential pressure of the utility model includes a semi-cable clip body and a support column. A fixed ear is provided on the semi-cable clip body, and a screw hole is opened on the fixed ear corresponding to the top of the support column. The semi-cable clip body and the support column are fastened by bolts and nuts, and a gap is reserved between them; a through-hole type pressure sensor is installed between the nut and the fixed ear.

[0007] A horizontal bearing platform is welded in the middle of the support column, and a number of test wires are stacked inside the semi-cable clip body. A bottom pressure sensor is arranged between the test wires and the horizontal bearing platform. The bottom pressure sensor and the through-hole type pressure sensor form a strain data acquisition system.

[0008] Furthermore, a digital image acquisition system is also provided, including an optical camera fixed on a bracket on one side of the test wires, and the optical camera is connected to an image acquisition and analysis system.

[0009] Furthermore, the test wires include test steel wires and fine steel wires. Among them, the length of the test steel wires is less than the length of the semi-cable clip body and is placed inside, and the fine steel wires are used to fill the gaps between the test steel wires and the semi-cable clip body.
