AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When a separated catwalk is anchored at the top of a suspension bridge tower, conventional rigid tie rod structures are prone to elastic deformation under tension, which cannot provide sufficient friction. Furthermore, the anchors are prone to shear fracture, making it difficult to meet the requirements of high stability and aesthetics.

Method used

The structure employs prestressed anchor cables and anchor boxes, connecting the left and right anchor boxes via prestressed anchor cables. Corrugated pipes and spiral reinforcements are fitted onto the anchor cables to ensure that the anchoring structure does not generate additional elastic deformation under tension, thereby enhancing its shear resistance. Additional support is provided through the anchor box bracket.

Benefits of technology

It improves the stability and safety of the anchoring structure, reduces damage to the bridge tower surface, enhances the strength and aesthetics of the anchoring points, and ensures a stable connection of the anchoring structure on the inclined surface.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] The application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments.

[0036] As Figure 1 , a suspension bridge using the present utility model, the bridge is a single tower self-anchored suspension bridge, the bridge tower adopts a single column shape, and the overall side surface of the bridge tower is a curved surface.

[0037] EMBODIMENT

[0038] As Figure 2 ,Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the embodiment is a catwalk tower top anchoring structure suitable for a special-shaped bridge tower, which comprises prestressed anchor cables 1, tower top anchor boxes 2 suitable for the special-shaped bridge tower, tower top anchor box connecting pieces 3 matched with the tower top anchor boxes, and tower top anchor box brackets 4 providing vertical support force for the tower top anchor boxes 2.

[0039] In the embodiment, the prestressed anchor cables 1 are used to connect the left and right tower top anchor boxes. In a conventional structure, a rigid pull rod structure such as a fine rolled threaded steel is usually used for connection. When subjected to tension, the rod member is elastically deformed, a gap is generated between the tower top anchor box and the tower surface, and the tower top anchor box cannot provide sufficient friction force to offset the tension of the load-bearing cable. The prestressed anchor cables 1 are used in a prestressed manner. Before the prestress is used up, the structure does not produce additional elastic deformation when subjected to tension, ensuring that the tower top anchor box can effectively contact the bridge tower surface and that there is sufficient friction force between the tower top anchor box and the bridge tower surface. At the same time, the fine rolled threaded steel has weak shear resistance. When used, the fine rolled threaded steel may be sheared and broken due to uneven stress of the structure and other factors. The prestressed anchor cables 1 have strong shear resistance and are safer in actual use.

[0040] The arrangement of the prestressed anchor cables 1 and the tower top anchor boxes is shown in the figure. Figure 5 The prestressed anchor cables 1 pass through the anchor holes of the top plates of the left anchor boxes, the anchor holes of the bottom plates of the left anchor boxes, the prestressed anchor cable channels, the anchor holes of the bottom plates of the right anchor boxes, and the anchor holes of the top plates of the right anchor boxes in sequence, are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the top plates of the left anchor boxes through left gaskets and left clamping pieces, and are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the top plates of the right anchor boxes through right gaskets and right clamping pieces. In the embodiment, the anchoring positions of the prestressed anchor cables 1 pass through the anchor boxes and are supported by the top plates 13 of the anchor boxes. Compared with the conventional anchoring on the bottom plates 14 of the anchor boxes, the prestressed anchor cables 1 optimize the stress characteristics of the structure, reduce the generation of structural bending moments, reduce the generation of local pressure of the anchor boxes on the bridge tower structure, and reduce the damage to the surface of the bridge tower. The prestressed anchor cables 1 are also provided with bellows 10 and spiral ribs 11. The bellows 10 protect the prestressed anchor cables 1 from corrosion and mechanical damage, ensure that the prestressed anchor cables 1 can freely elongate during tensioning, and facilitate the pouring of anticorrosive protective materials. The spiral ribs 11 generate friction with the tower top concrete, effectively improving the anchoring strength of the anchoring points.

[0041] As shown in the figure, Figure 5 、 Figure 6 In the embodiment, the ear plates 16 of the anchor boxes are at the same horizontal plane as the positions of the prestressed anchor cables 1, so that the anchoring structure does not generate additional bending moment when subjected to stress, optimizes the force transmission mode, and improves the stress performance of the overall structure.

[0042] As shown in the figure, Figure 6 、 Figure 7As shown, the bottom plate 14 of the anchor box is adjusted according to the actual bridge tower shape, the whole tower top anchor box is attached to the surface of the bridge tower, and the anchor box provides an anchoring position for the prestressed anchor cable 1.

[0043] In this embodiment, since the tower top side surface is inclined inward from top to bottom, the anchor box bracket 4 is added as an additional support to ensure the structural safety.

[0044] As shown in Figure 4 , Figure 8 In this embodiment, the anchor box connecting piece 3 is provided with the opposite connecting plate 17 to connect the tower top anchor box with the catwalk load-bearing cable 5, and the opposite connecting plate 17 and the one-way connecting plate 18 to connect the anchor box connecting piece 3 with the shackle 23, and the shackle 23 is connected with the catwalk load-bearing cable 5.

[0045] As shown in Figure 9 In this embodiment, two opposite connecting plates 17 and four one-way connecting plates 18 are provided for the anchor box connecting piece 3. The anchor box connecting piece web plate 20 penetrates through the opposite connecting plate 17 and the one-way connecting plate 18 as a whole and is welded into one body. The anchor box connecting piece side web plate 19 is welded on both sides of the anchor box connecting piece web plate 20 to provide support and stability for the structure.

[0046] The anchor box bracket 4 is shown in Figure 10 In this embodiment, the anchor cone structure is embedded in the bridge tower in advance. The anchor cone has strong shear resistance, which is more conducive to resisting the sliding of the tower top anchor box. The anchor cone structure of this embodiment is shown in Figure 11 The anchor cone structure is provided with a main anchoring force by the embedded part plate 25, the high-strength screw rod 26 transmits the anchoring force, the climbing cone 27 is used as a connecting piece, and the inside is provided with threads to connect the high-strength screw rod 26 and the bolt 28. The anchor bracket is shown in Figure 12 The anchor bracket bottom plate 29 is provided with an anchoring hole, and the bolt 28 penetrates through the anchoring hole and is anchored and connected through the climbing cone 27.

[0047] The anchor 21 is not limited to the anchor cone structure, and the anchor 21 needs to bear a large shear stress load.

[0048] As shown in Figure 13 In this embodiment, the catwalk load-bearing cable 5 is connected with the anchor box connecting piece 3 through the shackle 23.

[0049] As shown in Figure 14 The catwalk load-bearing cable 5 is surrounded to form a connecting hole and is fixed by the steel wire rope clamp 24.
