[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a steel strand residual stress detection device, comprising a clamping unit, a steel frame body, and a signal acquisition system; the clamping unit is provided at the top of the steel frame body for clamping the steel strand; the steel frame body comprises a tension rod 2; the tension rod 2 is a detachable screw rod; the reaction frame 1 comprises a bottom plate, two symmetrical support arms, and two symmetrical side plates connected to the upper portion of the bottom plate; below the reaction frame 1, a ball bearing 6 and a push nut 5 are sequentially threadedly sleeved on the tension rod 2;

[0030] The signal acquisition system includes a laser displacement sensor 9 arranged on the outside of a side panel, a sleeve is arranged on the tension rod 2, between the wire catcher 3 and the tension sensor 8, and a laser baffle 4 is arranged horizontally on the outside of the sleeve. Figure 4As shown, the tension sensor 8 is placed inside the two side plates of the reaction frame 1 and connected to the tension rod 2 through threaded holes at each end. The wire grabber 3 is connected to the tension sensor 8 via a screw and a threaded sleeve. A laser baffle 4 is located between the sleeve and the wire grabber 3. The wire grabber 3 grasps the steel strand 11, ensuring that the tension is effectively applied to the strand 11. The tension sensor 8 is connected to the signal acquisition system via a data cable or wireless transmission to transmit the tension signal. During use, tension is applied to the tension rod 2 via a hydraulic jack or other loading device. This tension is transmitted through the tension sensor 8 to the wire grabber 3, ultimately acting on the steel strand 11. The tension sensor 8 measures the tension in real time and transmits the data to the signal acquisition system. Simultaneously, the laser displacement sensor 9 measures the displacement of the steel strand 11, collecting displacement data of the steel strand 11 under tension. The signal acquisition system records the changes in tension, displacement, and other data over time. After unloading, the strain or stress recovery of the steel strand 11 is observed. Due to the elastic recovery properties of the material, part of the stress will be recovered, and the remaining part is the residual stress.

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the laser displacement sensor 9 and the data acquisition and analysis instrument 10 are fixed to the two side panels respectively by screws, and all the data measured by the sensors are stored in the data acquisition and analysis instrument 10. The signal acquisition system connects the tension sensor 8 and the laser displacement sensor 9 through a data cable or wireless transmission to collect force and displacement data. During the detection, the tension sensor 8 measures the magnitude of the tension applied to the steel strand 11 in real time and transmits the tension data to the data acquisition and analysis instrument 10. At the same time, the laser displacement sensor 9 accurately measures the displacement change of the steel strand 11 under the action of tension, and also transmits the displacement data to the data acquisition and analysis instrument 10. The data acquisition and analysis instrument 10 receives and synchronously processes these two sets of data, and analyzes the residual stress of the steel strand 11 through data fitting. By continuously changing the magnitude of the tension and repeating the above measurement and calculation process, the mechanical performance parameters of the steel strand 11 under different tension levels can be obtained, thereby more comprehensively understanding the residual stress distribution of the steel strand 11.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] like Figure 5-Figure 7As shown, the clamping unit includes a wire grabber 3, a steel strand stopper 7, and a steel strand 11. The wire grabber 3 is connected to the tension rod 2 and hooks onto the steel strand 11. A sleeve is provided on the tension rod 2, between the wire grabber 3 and the tension sensor 8. A laser baffle 4 is horizontally positioned outside the sleeve. The baffle should be large enough to reflect the laser light from the laser displacement sensor 9, and its diameter is generally not less than 10 cm. The thickness of the wire grabber 3 should not be too large to accommodate practical applications: both the width and thickness are 1 cm. The main function of the wire grabber 3 is to firmly grasp the steel strand 11, ensuring effective force transmission between the steel strand 11 and the testing equipment during testing. When tension is applied, the wire grabber 3 evenly transfers the tension to the steel strand 11, subjecting the steel strand 11 to axial tension. The diagonal brace ends of the reaction frame 1 have a vertical height of 10 cm. The tops of the two support arms of the reaction frame 1 are each equipped with a steel strand stopper 7, and the groove depth is 2 cm. When the wire grabber 3 applies axial tension to the steel strand 11, the strand stopper 7 constrains the sides or periphery of the strand 11, limiting its tensile deformation to the axial direction. This ensures that measuring equipment, such as the laser displacement sensor 9, can accurately measure the axial displacement of the steel strand 11 and thus accurately calculate residual stress. The strand stopper 7 also helps protect the steel strand 11 from accidental collisions or damage during testing.

[0034] A laser baffle 4 is provided between the wire grabber 3 and the tension sensor 8 for reflecting the laser. The laser displacement sensor 9 is fixed to the reaction frame 1 by screws, and measures the displacement change of the steel strand 11 under tension by emitting and receiving laser beams, and works in conjunction with the laser baffle 4; the laser beam emitted by the laser displacement sensor 9 is irradiated on the laser baffle 4, and when the steel strand 11 is displaced under tension, the laser baffle 4 will also move accordingly. The laser displacement sensor 9 receives the reflected light and calculates the displacement of the steel strand 11 based on the position change of the reflected light. Since the laser displacement sensor 9 has high precision, it can accurately measure tiny displacement changes of the steel strand 11. During the entire loading process, the laser displacement sensor 9 continuously measures the displacement data, and synchronously records these data and the tension data transmitted by the tension sensor 8 in the signal acquisition system.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
