Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of prestressed anchoring technology, specifically to an external cable steering device. Background Technology
[0002] Steel strand cable anchorage structures include stay cables, suspender cables, external cables, main cables of suspension bridges, and anchor cables. To meet the requirements of structural layout and stress, some anchorage structures will design the cable line as a curve, such as external cables and main cables of suspension bridges. This requires the anchorage section to have a turning function.
[0003] In existing technologies, it is difficult to handle the problem of misaligned pre-buried pipes in wind power projects. When tensioning occurs at the pipe opening, the PE layer of the steel strands can be squeezed and blocked at the pre-buried pipe opening, resulting in wrinkles or breakage, which affects the corrosion resistance. The restraining rubber is deformed by the compression of the steel strands, and may eventually collapse and cause the steel pipe to rub against the steel strands, leading to breakage. Therefore, it is necessary to design an external cable steering mechanism to solve the problems in existing technologies. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the problems in the background technology, this utility model proposes an external cable steering device, which can effectively reduce the wrinkles and breaks of steel strands after the wind power pre-buried pipe is misaligned.
[0005] To solve the above problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: an external cable steering device, including a pre-embedded pipe placed in a concrete foundation, the pre-embedded pipe being offset within the concrete foundation, a steering block being sleeved on the upper inner wall of the pre-embedded pipe, the steering block having multiple vertically penetrating mounting holes, multiple shock-absorbing tubes being correspondingly sleeved in the multiple mounting holes, the multiple shock-absorbing tubes being used to pass through multiple steel strands correspondingly, the steel strands passing through the shock-absorbing tubes extending downwards and passing through the pre-embedded pipe, the outer cylindrical surface of the steering block being set as a steering cone surface with a convex center and gradually concave upper and lower ends, the convex part of the steering cone surface fitting against the inner wall of the pre-embedded pipe, the two ends of the steering cone surface being clearance-fitted with the inner wall of the pre-embedded pipe, the upper and lower openings of the inner wall of the steering block being open and chamfered, the steel strands being clearance-fitted with the chamfered parts of the steering block.
[0006] Furthermore, the upper end of the pre-embedded pipe extends out of the concrete foundation, and the upper end of the steering block forms a downward-bent annular flange. An annular cavity is formed between the annular flange and the outer wall of the steering block. The upper end of the pre-embedded pipe is inserted into the annular cavity, and there is a gap between the outer wall of the pre-embedded pipe and the side wall of the annular cavity.
[0007] Furthermore, pressure plates are detachably provided at both the upper and lower ends of the steering block, and multiple through holes are provided on the two pressure plates corresponding to the multiple mounting holes for the steel strands to pass through one by one.
[0008] Furthermore, the end faces of the two pressure plates are provided with a plurality of countersunk through holes evenly spaced along the circumference. The upper and lower end faces of the steering block are provided with threaded holes corresponding to the plurality of countersunk through holes. A plurality of countersunk bolts are inserted into the plurality of countersunk through holes of the two pressure plates one by one, and the plurality of countersunk bolts are connected to the plurality of threaded holes one by one.
[0009] Furthermore, both pressure plates are made of polyethylene plastic.
[0010] Furthermore, all of the aforementioned shock-absorbing tubes are made of polyurethane.
[0011] Furthermore, each of the steel strands is fitted with a sheath.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By providing a steering cone surface on the outer cylindrical surface of the steering block, the steering block can actively deflect in the direction of the pre-embedded pipe after it is misaligned, ensuring that the steering block always provides stable support for the steel strand. Furthermore, the chamfering treatment at the pipe openings at the upper and lower ends of the steering block further reduces the risk of wrinkles and breakage of the steel strand's PE layer due to compression at the pipe opening during tensioning, which affects corrosion resistance. It also avoids the risk of the restraining rubber being deformed by the steel strand, potentially leading to long-term crushing and wear of the steel pipe until it breaks. This utility model effectively reduces wrinkles and breakage of the steel strand after the pre-embedded pipe of the wind power plant is misaligned. Attached Figure Description

The convex part of the steering cone surface 7 fits against the inner wall of the embedded pipe 2. The two ends of the steering cone surface 7 are clearance-fitted with the inner wall of the embedded pipe 2. The upper and lower openings of the inner wall of the steering block 3 are both open and have chamfers 8. The steel strands 6 are clearance-fitted with the chamfers 8 of the steering block 3.
[0021] Furthermore, the upper end of the pre-embedded pipe 2 extends out of the concrete foundation 1, and the upper end of the steering block 3 forms a downwardly bent annular flange 9.

[0022] Furthermore, pressure plates 11 are detachably provided at both the upper and lower ends of the steering block 3, and multiple through holes are provided on the two pressure plates 11 corresponding to the multiple mounting holes 4 for the steel strands 6 to pass through one by one.
[0023] Furthermore, the end faces of the two pressure plates 11 are evenly spaced around the circumference with multiple countersunk through holes, and the upper and lower end faces of the steering block 3 are provided with threaded holes corresponding to the multiple countersunk through holes. Multiple countersunk bolts 12 are inserted into the multiple countersunk through holes of the two pressure plates 11, and the multiple countersunk bolts 12 are connected to the multiple threaded holes.
[0024] Furthermore, both pressure plates 11 are made of polyethylene plastic.
[0025] Furthermore, all of the aforementioned shock-absorbing tubes 5 are made of polyurethane.
[0026] Furthermore, each of the steel strands 6 is fitted with a sheath.
