Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of anchor cable construction, and in particular to an anchor cable locking device and a prestressed anchor cable tensioning and locking system. Background Technology
[0002] Prestressed anchor cables are one of the most commonly used structures in bridges, building structures, and slope engineering. After the prestressing is applied, anchorages are needed to lock the anchor cables in place. A traditional prestressed anchor cable tensioning system is shown in the attached figure. Figure 4 As shown, the tensioning jack tensions the anchor cable, and the wedge moves towards the limiting plate under the action of the anchor cable. The amount of movement is limited by the limiting amount of the limiting plate. When the stress exceeds the design stress value by a certain range, the tensioning jack slowly releases the tension, and the wedge is brought into the conical hole of the anchor by the retracting anchor cable, thus locking the anchor cable. Traditional anchor cable locking methods not only have the problem of possible locking failure, but also the problem of significant loss of prestress in the anchor cable. The locking value is generally less than 80% of the maximum tension value. In order to reduce the problem of prestress loss, over-tensioning is required, which will damage the soil and rock layers of the anchorage section.
[0003] Chinese patent application CN202310805994.3, filed on July 3, 2023, discloses an adaptive locking device for anchor cables, which has the following defects:
[0004] 1. The structure is designed as a hydraulic cylinder, which is complex and requires high precision in the machining of each component, resulting in high manufacturing costs;
[0005] 2. It requires a hydraulic system to function, which requires an additional hydraulic device, further increasing manufacturing costs, carrying difficulties, and usage costs.
[0006] Based on this, this application provides an anchor cable locking device and a prestressed anchor cable tensioning and locking system that are simple in structure, easy and quick to operate, and low in manufacturing cost. Utility Model Content

[0032] Example 1
[0033] Please see the appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 This embodiment provides an anchor cable locking device, which consists of a support 1, a clamping push plate 2, and a screw assembly 3. The clamping push plate 2 and the screw assembly 3 are disposed within the support 1, wherein:
[0034] The support 1 consists of a base 1.1, connecting ribs 1.2, and a support ring 1.3. The support ring 1.3 is coaxially arranged with the base 1.1, and the two are connected by multiple connecting ribs 1.3. In this embodiment, the support 1 is preferably designed as an integrally formed structure, wherein there are 2 to 3 connecting ribs 1.2, and in this embodiment, 2 are preferably provided. The bottom of the base 1.1 is provided with a stepped hole 1.1.1 for fitting onto the anchor 5.1, so that it can be directly fitted onto the anchor during installation.
[0035] The wedge pusher plate 2 is fitted onto the anchor cable and is used to push the wedge 5.2 into the anchor 5.1 after the anchor cable 8 is tensioned. Preferably, the longitudinal section of the wedge pusher plate 2 is "T" shaped and has multiple through holes for the anchor cable to pass through, generally each through hole corresponds to one anchor cable.
[0036] The lead screw assembly 3 includes a sleeve 3.1, a hollow lead screw 3.2, and a handle 3.3. The sleeve 3.1 is detachably installed on the inner ring of the support ring 1.3. In this embodiment, the detachable installation method of the sleeve is preferably as follows: the top of the sleeve 3.1 is provided with a limiting flange 3.1.1, and its bottom is inserted into the support ring 1.3 and limited by the limiting flange, that is, the sleeve and the support ring are plugged in. One end of the hollow lead screw 3.2 is threadedly connected to the inner ring of the sleeve 3.1, and the other end is used to push the clamping plate 2. The handle 3.3 is detachably provided on the side wall of the hollow lead screw 3.2 and is used to rotate the hollow lead screw. In this embodiment, the detachable installation method of the handle is preferably as follows: the middle part of the hollow lead screw 3.2 has a ring array of multiple insertion holes 3.2.1, and the handle 3.3 is plugged in to the insertion holes 3.2.1.
[0037] In practical implementation, the anchor cable locking device is applied to the prestressed anchor cable tensioning system to form a prestressed anchor cable tensioning locking system, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 3 As shown, the system includes a pad 4, a working anchor assembly 5, an anchor cable locking device, a tensioning jack 6, and a tool anchor assembly 7 arranged in sequence. The specific operation is as follows:
[0038] S1. Fit the bottom of the support 1 onto the anchor 5.1 of the working anchor assembly 5;
[0039] S2. Pass each anchor cable 8 through the wedge pusher plate 2 and move the wedge pusher plate 2 into the support 1;
[0040] S3. Assemble the hollow screw 3.2 and the sleeve 3.1, and then insert the hollow screw 3.2 downwards into the support 1;
[0041] S4. Install tension jack 6 and use the tension jack to press the sleeve 3.1 tightly onto the support 1;
[0042] S5, Install tool anchor assembly 7;
[0043] S6. Before tensioning, insert the handle 3.3 into the insertion hole 3.2.1 of the hollow screw 3.2, and adjust the hollow screw 3.2 so that there is a certain gap between the hollow screw 3.2 and the clamping push plate 2.
[0044] S7. Implement prestressing tensioning of the anchor cable. When the prestress of the anchor cable 8 reaches the set value, rotate the hollow screw 3.2 through the handle 3.3 to drive the wedge push plate 2 to move towards the anchor 5.1 until the wedge 5.2 is pushed into the anchor 5.1, thereby achieving passive locking of the anchor cable by external force, ensuring successful locking, and keeping the prestress of the anchor cable consistent before and after locking.
[0045] S8. Unload tension jack 6;
[0046] S9. When further compensation tensioning is required, rotate the hollow screw rod in the direction that moves it away from the anchor. At this time, the wedges will self-lock under prestress. Load the tensioning jack to perform compensation tensioning.
[0047] S10. After the compensation tensioning is completed, lock the anchor cable and repeat S7 and S8.
[0048] Example 2
[0049] Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment further optimizes the design of the lead screw assembly, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a top tube 3.4 is also designed on the lead screw assembly 3. The inner ring of the top tube 3.4 is screwed to the end of the hollow lead screw 3.2 away from the sleeve 3.1. Preferably, the hollow lead screw 3.2 is a hollow lead screw with both positive and negative threads.
[0050] This embodiment utilizes a hollow screw with both positive and negative threads and a jacking tube to push the clamping plate. This reduces the rotation angle of the hollow screw while maintaining the same pushing distance, improving the operability and convenience of the device. Furthermore, when adjusting the jacking tube to press the clamping plate, compared to directly using the hollow screw to press it, which requires overcoming the rotational friction between the hollow screw and the clamping plate, this design allows the hollow screw to continue providing pressing force after the jacking tube contacts the clamping plate, eliminating the need to overcome significant rotational friction and making adjustment more effortless.
[0051] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
