Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bearing capacity testing, in particular to a device for testing the stable bearing capacity of a main material of an angle steel at a butt joint of a transmission tower. Background Art

[0002] Angle steel towers are widely used in power transmission lines across the country due to their simple production process, low raw material costs, and high installation efficiency. Existing, common angle steel towers use disconnecting nodes for their main material connections. The diagonal joints between the upper and lower sections are staggered, and the tower body has a large number of disconnecting nodes. A 500kV single-circuit straight tower (60m high) requires approximately 20 to 28 disconnecting nodes, while double-circuit and UHV towers require even more. This makes it impossible to assemble the entire tower, resulting in relatively low mechanized construction efficiency. However, the use of seat-plate docking significantly improves the mechanized construction of angle steel towers. Furthermore, it optimizes the main material connection node structure, which is crucial for reducing tower weight and project investment.

[0003] In a fully assembled angle steel tower system, the main materials inevitably have disconnected nodes throughout the entire tower height. This occurs when two angle steels of the same specification are butted together, connected using single or double wrapped angle steel bolts, or through butt joints. This experimental study focuses on the latter, investigating the instability of the main materials under butt joints. The main materials connected through butt joints are subject to complex forces, and their load-bearing capacity directly affects the stability of the transmission tower. However, my country's "Steel Structure Design Standard" (GB50017-2017) and the power design specification "Technical Specifications for the Structural Design of Overhead Transmission Line Towers" (DL / T 5154-2020) do not consider the impact of the main material base plate butt joint when calculating the main material's stable load-bearing capacity.

Four supporting angle steels perpendicular to the axis of the main diagonal materials are selected as out of plane supports. The supports are made of L50*4 model Q355 hot-rolled equal-leg angle steel with a length of 1000mm.

Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] See also Figures 1-4 , the utility model provides a technical solution:

[0020] A device for testing the stable bearing capacity of the main material of the angle steel at the docking node of a transmission tower comprises a base 1 and a support frame 5. A jack support 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1, a jack is installed on the top of the jack support 2, the output end of the jack is connected to a lower knife-edge twister 3, the top of the lower knife-edge twister 3 is connected to a lower angle steel 11, the top of the lower angle steel 11 is connected to an upper angle steel 10, and the top of the upper angle steel 10 is connected to an upper knife-edge twister 4. An upper oblique material support frame 6 and a lower oblique material support frame 8 are installed on the surface of the support frame 5, and the sides of the upper oblique material support frame 6 and the lower oblique material support frame 8 are respectively connected to an upper oblique material 7 and a lower oblique material 9.

[0021] The top of the outer surface of the lower angle steel 11 is fixedly connected with a saddle plate three 1101, the top of the lower angle steel 11 is installed with a bottom plate 101, the top of the bottom plate 101 is fixedly connected with a saddle plate one 102, and the bottom of the outer surface of the upper angle steel 10 is fixedly connected with a saddle plate two 103.

[0022] The bottom of the lower angle steel 11 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 1102 , the bottom of the connecting plate 1102 is fixedly connected to a knife-edge plate 1103 , and the bottom of the knife-edge plate 1103 is connected to a knife groove plate 1104 .

[0023] Based on typical design data from the State Grid, a standard transmission tower span was selected as the research object. Considering that transmission towers are spatial structures, the main diagonal members are subject to out-of-plane support from the cross diagonals or auxiliary members connected to them, and the angle between them is not constant. To better simulate the spatial structure of the transmission tower span, both the upper diagonal member 7 and the lower diagonal member 9 are subject to out-of-plane support from the adjacent planar cross diagonals or auxiliary members. Four support angles perpendicular to the axis of the main diagonal members were selected as out-of-plane supports. The supports were L50*4 Q355 hot-rolled equal-leg angles, with a length of 1000mm.

[0024] The test was conducted in an upright position, with a high-rigidity box beam connected end to end to form a balance frame. The specimen was secured within the balance frame to create a self-balancing system. A 500t jack, a bidirectional hydraulic jack and an electric oil pump, were used as the loading device, and a 150t load cell was installed on the jack's cylinder head.

[0025] A 6.8-grade φ16 bolt was used to connect the main diagonal member to the support. The end-break node connection was connected with a 6.8-grade φ20 bolt. Four supports were installed on the box beam columns on both sides of the test. The support ends were connected to the supports with 6.8-grade φ20 bolts. Strip-shaped screw holes were cut in the supports, and the bolts were loosened during installation to allow sufficient movement in the loading direction. Furthermore, each end of the specimen was extended by 2 / 3 of the span length to eliminate the influence of stress concentration on the supports and better simulate spatial stress conditions.

[0026] The ends of the specimens are connected to the balance frame through knife-edge hinges. One reason is to ensure that the main material is subjected to axial force, and the other is that when under pressure, the ends of the specimens can rotate within the minimum axial plane, which better simulates the stress form of the main material in actual engineering.

[0027] Considering that the main material in the spatial internode is supported out of the plane by the planar cross-slant materials, in order to fully consider the authenticity and effectiveness of the simulated boundary conditions during the test, a two-plane three-dimensional internode test method is adopted. Two standard plane internodes are assembled into a three-column three-dimensional internode, and the middle main material is the test material, so as to fully consider the supporting effect of the adjacent diagonal materials on the test main material. The influence of a single parameter on the test object is examined through the test method of controlling variables. The specific parameter settings are shown in the following table.

[0028] Test parameter and working condition setting table

[0029]

[0030] During installation, the specimen was geometrically aligned using a laser level to ensure vertical alignment. A preload was applied before formal loading, with the load level set at 10% of the theoretical stable bearing capacity calculated according to the "Technical Specifications for the Structural Design of Overhead Transmission Line Towers" (DL / T5154-2012). This preload functioned to verify the proper functioning of the test instrumentation and, to a certain extent, to eliminate any gaps between the loading device and the specimen. The formal loading process employed a monotonic, graded loading system, with controlled load increments and loading rates at each stage. Once the specified load was reached, the load was held for 10 seconds. When the load decreased and continued loading failed to increase the pressure sensor reading, the specimen was considered to have reached its stable bearing capacity. Loading was continued until the pressure sensor reading dropped below 85% of the stable bearing capacity, and loading was terminated. To prevent separation of the specimen from the loading device, unloading was stopped at a residual load of 20 kN.
