TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a kind of anchoring structure of main cable of suspension bridge, in particular to a kind of suspension bridge main cable multi-cable anchoring unit structure. BACKGROUND
[0002] Suspension bridge is one of the main forms of super-long span bridge, and at present, most of the bridges with span more than 1000m in the world are suspension bridges. If carbon fiber with light weight and high strength is used as main cable of suspension bridge, the ultimate span can be more than 8000m in theory. The construction of modern suspension bridge in China started in the 1960s, and has been developed for nearly 60 years. All technologies are gradually mature. The main cable anchoring structure is one of the most important anchoring structures, and the reliability and stability of anchoring are important factors to determine the carrying capacity and service life of the bridge. How to evenly distribute the load of the main cable to each anchoring point and balance the stress of each anchoring point to improve the overall stability is an important factor to be considered in the design of the main cable anchoring structure.
[0003] In order to evenly distribute the load of the main cable to each anchoring point, the anchoring structure of each anchoring point of the main cable is the key. In the existing suspension bridge main cable multi-cable anchoring unit structure, the main cable cable connection part is fixedly connected with the connector and the pull rod, the pull rod cannot rotate and swing relative to the connector, and the angle deviation between the main cable and the anchoring point cannot be corrected, so the installation and construction are difficult. Another patent discloses a connector structure for main cable anchoring, which includes a bottom plate and a side plate. The pull rod assembly is connected with the side plate through a fork ear and a pin shaft, and the angle is adjusted by rotating the bottom plate and rotating the pull rod assembly around the pin shaft. Although this structure can adjust the stress direction of the pull rod assembly, it is connected with the pull rod assembly by a single fork ear, and only one direction of stress can be adjusted. The rotation of the bottom plate is in the circumferential direction, and the bottom plate is connected with all pull rods. The angle adjustment is limited by all pull rods, and it is difficult to ensure that the stress of each pull rod in the X-axis and Y-axis directions is adjusted at the same time.

[0007] Further, when N=2, the N anchor pads are arranged in parallel on the anchor pad; and when N>2, the N anchor pads are arranged on the anchor pad according to the angles of a regular N polygon.
[0008] Further, the number N of the main cable is 2≤N≤8.
[0009] Further, the included angle formed by the central axes of the pin shaft one and the pin shaft two is 90°.
[0010] Due to the adoption of the above technical scheme, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0011] 1. Anchoring angle is automatically adjusted. The pull rod and the anchor pad are connected through two fork ears (one single fork ear and one double fork ear) and the anchor pad, the double fork ear is a cross double-end fork ear, the pin shaft holes at the upper and lower ends of the double fork ear are arranged in a 90° cross mode, the pin shaft one and the pin shaft two arranged at the upper and lower ends of the double fork ear are in a vertical state, each pull rod can rotate around the pin shaft one and the pin shaft two, that is, the force direction can be automatically adjusted in the X-axis and Y-axis directions at the same time, the pull rod has the characteristics of rotating and swinging in two directions along the axis at any angle, and can be used for correcting the angle deviation between the main cable and the anchoring point and eliminating the torsional moment.
[0012] 2. The installation and replacement are convenient. Since the pull rod has the function of automatically adjusting the angle, the installation angle does not need to be considered during installation and replacement, so the installation and replacement operation is more convenient and fast.
[0013] 3. The pull rod component can be separately packaged and delivered in the factory, or can be installed on site, and the delivery form can be selected according to the installation site, and the operation is flexible.
