TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to bridge steel structure construction technical field especially including a cable tower steel shell manufacturing standardization jig frame. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of bridge construction, with the rapid development of steel structure processing technology, the application of steel shell structure of cable-stayed bridge and suspension bridge cable tower is increasing. Such cable tower has the advantages of high strength, good durability, flexible modeling, etc. and can adapt to complex stress conditions and aesthetic design requirements. However, the steel shell of the cable tower is difficult to be manufactured integrally in the factory at one time due to its large size and complex structure, and it is usually divided into several curved blocks for prefabrication, and then assembled into an integral structure through high-precision welding.
[0003] At present, the steel shell block prefabrication and welding process faces significant challenges: first, the traditional fixed jig frame cannot be adjusted due to the large difference in cross-sectional size, curvature and spatial attitude of the cable tower steel shell, which is designed as a special curved surface. Only a single cross-sectional shape can be adapted, and the support point and spatial angle cannot be flexibly adjusted, resulting in frequent replacement or customization of the jig frame during different block prefabrication, high cost and low efficiency; second, the existing jig frame relies on manual measurement and mechanical fine adjustment, which cannot meet the millimeter-level precision requirement of three-dimensional space positioning of the block steel shell, and the adjustment process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, which may cause welding misalignment and stress concentration problems; in addition, the stress state of the steel shell block is complex during prefabrication, turning, hoisting and other processes. The traditional jig frame lacks dynamic adaptability and cannot provide reliable support under different working conditions, which may cause component deformation and affect the quality of subsequent overall assembly.
[0004] To solve the above problems, the prior art attempts to use local adjustable support or temporary reinforcement measures, but such methods have limited adjustment range and rely on manual experience operation, which cannot realize standardized and batch production. Especially for large special-shaped steel shells, the block prefabrication efficiency is low, and the cumulative error of assembly is large, which has become a bottleneck restricting the construction quality and progress of the cable tower. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a reconfigurable jig frame that can dynamically adapt to the cross-sectional change requirement of different blocks of the cable tower steel shell, realize accurate three-dimensional positioning and stable support in multiple working conditions, thereby reducing the cumulative error of welding and providing technical support for high-quality construction of the steel shell cable tower.

[0023] As one example, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a base plate 100, and the surface of the base plate 100 is provided with a plurality of base plate grooves 101 at equal intervals along the length direction; such as Figure 2As shown, the standardized jig for manufacturing the steel shell of the pylon includes several symmetrically distributed adjustment structural units. Each adjustment structural unit includes a column 200, an inclined telescopic assembly, and a horizontal telescopic assembly. Two columns 200 are hinged to a base plate groove 101. One end of each of the two inclined telescopic assemblies is hinged in the base plate groove 101 between the two columns 200, and the other end is provided with a slide rod 206, which overlaps the top of the column 200. A horizontal telescopic assembly is hinged between the two inclined telescopic assemblies, and a push rod 212 is provided in the middle section of the horizontal telescopic assembly. Electromagnets are provided on the surfaces of both the slide rod 206 and the push rod 212.

[0025] A second fixed shaft 205 is horizontally fixed through the upper end of the column 200. The second fixed shaft 205 is fixed to the bottom end of two fixed rods 203.

[0026] The debugging structure unit includes a structural rod 208, with a first telescopic rod 207 connected to the top of the structural rod 208, and a sliding rod 206 sleeved on the top of the first telescopic rod 207; a fourth wheel axle 210 is hinged to the side of the structural rod 208; a horizontal telescopic component is hinged between the two inclined telescopic components through the fourth wheel axle 210; a push rod 212 is provided in the middle of the horizontal telescopic component, with a second telescopic rod 211 connected to both ends of the push rod 212; the second telescopic rod 211 is hinged to the fourth wheel axle 210.
[0027] Both the first wheel axle 201 and the third wheel axle 209 are equipped with locking mechanisms to lock their relative positions with the base plate slide groove 101 after the jig is adjusted into place. The debugging structure units are symmetrically arranged in pairs on the base plate slide groove 101. The push rods 212 of the two units in the same group are connected by electromagnet attraction.

[0028] Example 2
[0029] As another embodiment, this second embodiment, based on the first embodiment, proposes a method for using this standardized jig for manufacturing the steel shell of the cable tower:
[0030] S1: Pre-adjustment of jig parameters; Based on the design parameters of the pylon steel shell, the three-dimensional spatial coordinates of the jig support points are calibrated through the grooving type adjustment unit, and the locking mechanism of the first wheel axle 201 and the third wheel axle 209 is adjusted synchronously so that the overall outline of the jig adapts to the irregular curved surface size of the target segmented steel shell.
[0031] S2: Positioning and clamping of the first steel plate; as shown Figure 3 As shown, the first steel plate 300 is hoisted and placed in the preset position of the jig. The electromagnetic adsorption module at the drive end of the push rod 212 is activated to achieve initial positioning. The first steel section 301 is vertically arranged on the front of the first steel plate 300, and the second steel section 302 is horizontally arranged below the second telescopic rod 211. The first steel section 301 and the second steel section 302 are rigidly connected at both ends by the first through bolt 303 to form a two-way clamping structure to lock the spatial position of the first steel plate 300.
[0032] S3: Co-positioning of the second steel plate; such as Figure 4 As shown, the second steel plate 400 is hoisted so that it leans against the slide rod assembly laterally, with its bottom edge forming a preset overlap angle with the first steel plate 300. The electromagnetic adsorption module on the surface of the slide rod 206 is activated to achieve initial fixation. Referring to the clamping and fixing method in step S2, the second steel plate 400 and the slide rod are clamped by the third type of steel 401 and the fourth type of steel 402, and a rigid connection is completed by the second through bolt 403. The relative spatial relationship between the first steel plate 300 and the second steel plate 400 is checked using a laser positioning instrument. After confirming that there are no errors, boundary positioning welding is carried out.
[0033] S4: Support system assembly; such as Figure 5 As shown, a vertical support steel 501 is vertically installed on the top of the first steel 301, and a diagonal bracing steel 502 and a transverse support steel 503 are arranged obliquely on its side; wherein, the end of the diagonal bracing steel 502 is provided with a first electromagnet plate 504, and the end of the transverse support steel 503 is provided with a second electromagnet plate 505.
[0034] S5: Assembly of the third and fourth steel plates at different levels; such as... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the third steel plate 500 is hoisted so that its bottom edge abuts against the second steel plate 400 and its top edge is obliquely attached to the first electromagnet plate 504. After the electromagnetic adsorption is activated, the spatial pose accuracy is verified by the three-dimensional coordinate calibration module, and the boundary positioning welding between the third steel plate 500 and the second steel plate 400 is completed. Simultaneously, the fourth steel plate 600 is hoisted and laid flat on the surface of the second electromagnet plate 505. After adsorption and fixation, its overlap angle with the third steel plate 500 is finely adjusted, and positioning welding is performed to form a closed section.
[0035] S6: Overall welding and demolding; full penetration continuous welding process is implemented on all lap boundaries to form a complete cable tower steel shell structure; release the mechanical constraints of all steel connection mechanisms, turn off the electromagnetic adsorption module, and use the sliding mechanism to move the formed steel shell away from the jig to complete the segmented prefabrication.
