[0034] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, this utility model includes a tensioned frame assembly device and a model assembly device;
[0035] The tensioning frame assembly device includes a rectangular frame consisting of two crossbeams 1 and two longitudinal beams 2. One end of the frame is provided with a tensioning end beam 3, and the other end is provided with a fixed end beam 4.
[0036] The model assembly system includes a steel mold 5 mounted on the frame; the steel mold 5 is composed of three mold pieces connected end to end.
[0037] Tensioning equipment is installed on the tensioning end beam 3. The tensioning equipment includes a general tensioning device and a single-beam tensioning device. The general tensioning device uses a microcomputer-controlled tensioning jack 6 to simultaneously tension the tensioning end beam 3. The single-beam tensioning device uses a front-clamping jack for tensioning. The hydraulic cylinder of the general tensioning device has a stroke of 250mm, and the cylinder is equipped with a pressure sensor to directly read the tension force value.
[0038] A vibration device is installed at the bottom of the steel mold 5. The vibration device uses an insertable vibrator combined with an attached motor to generate vibration.
[0039] The steel mold 5 is provided with embedded parts, which are fixed by positioning bolts. The embedded parts include a sleeve, a side embedded nut, and an electrical nut.
[0040] The steel mold 5 includes a side mold and a detachable base plate (which can be replaced to suit different models of fork sleepers). The bottom of the base plate is equipped with a sliding roller conveyor, which allows the steel mold to be displaced as a whole during tensioning and untensioning, effectively reducing the possibility of rebar pulling and breaking.
[0041] The bottom of the frame, tensioning end beam 3, fixed end beam 4 and steel mold 5 are provided with supporting columns;
[0042] A maintenance tarpaulin is also installed on one side of the frame for natural covering maintenance.
[0043] One end of the fixed end beam 4 is also provided with a pretensioning platform 7.
[0044] Follow these steps to use:
[0045] 1. Clean and spray paint the steel mold:
[0046] 1. For steel molds used for the first time, wipe the working surfaces of the steel molds clean with a clean cloth to remove oil stains. For any rusty areas, use an electric wire wheel to remove it first. Do not use a metal hammer to strike the steel molds, as this may cause deformation.
[0047] 2. For steel molds that are reused, use a flat chisel to clean the residual concrete inside the mold, especially the chamfered parts, the sleeve fixing parts, and the complex surface areas such as the joint surface with the side plate. Then use a nylon broom to sweep away the loose debris on the surface, and finally use a vacuum cleaner to clean away the dust and debris.
[0048] 3. Steel molds that are loose or floating, or have incomplete or unqualified signs or number plates, or cracked welds, shall be repaired. Steel molds that meet the requirements shall be used in the next process.
[0049] 4. Prepare the release agent and water in a 1:3 ratio before the shift, stir thoroughly, and then spray it out in a mist rather than a dripping manner using a spray device. Apply the release agent evenly and in appropriate amounts. If there is excessive liquid accumulation, wipe it off with a clean brush.
[0050] 5. Before spraying, ensure that the working surface of the steel mold is dry and free of contamination. During the spraying process, clean the concrete and adhering skin inside the steel mold, especially the rounded corners and sleeve fixing parts of the steel mold.
[0051] II. Steel wire assembly and placement into the mold
[0052] 1. Before placing the wire rope into the mold, verify the number of stirrups in the wire rope assembly and ensure that the stirrups do not cross or interfere with the prestressed wires. After confirming that everything is correct, use a special lifting tool to place the wire rope assembly into the steel mold. Arrange the wire rope assembly so that the stirrups and wire-separating plates of each sleeper section are in the appropriate positions.
[0053] 2. Before installing the fixture, check its condition and clean any metal filings from the clamping plates. If cracks are found in the fixture or the threads on the clamping plates are worn, stop using it and have it checked and confirmed by the process inspector. The fixture should be tightened firmly and the gaps should be uniform during installation.
[0054] III. Tensioning
[0055] 1. The tensioning of the long-line platform adopts a combination of overall tensioning and single-strand tensioning. The overall tensioning of the prestressed steel wire is controlled by a microcomputer, and the tensioning end beam is tensioned at the same time. The single-strand tensioning is carried out by front clamping jacks.
[0056] 2. If any abnormalities are found during the tensioning process, such as steel wires crossing or interfering with other components, or steel wires detaching from the clamps, tensioning should be stopped immediately, stress relieved, and tensioning resumed only after the problem has been resolved.
[0057] IV. Installation of production process accessories and spiral reinforcement
[0058] 1. The turnout sleeper embedded parts include sleeves, side embedded nuts, and electrical nuts. The embedded parts are fixed using special positioning bolts. The embedded parts are installed correctly in the corresponding positions on the steel mold according to the drawings.
[0059] 2. During installation, ensure that the sleeve opening is tightly fitted to the steel formwork base plate, and that it is securely fixed without loosening. After installation, check for any gaps. If there are gaps, use a feeler gauge to check the height of the gap. If the gap exceeds 0.3mm, check the quality and installation of the sleeve and positioning bolts, and reinstall them.
[0060] 3. When installing the spiral reinforcement, it must not be skewed, and the spiral reinforcement that matches the sleeve should be used to maintain a uniform gap with the pre-embedded sleeve.
[0061] 4. After tensioning is completed, the stirrups are tied.
[0062] V. Concrete Preparation
[0063] 1. C60 grade concrete is used. The batching plant adjusts the batching and metering values of various raw materials according to the mix proportion notification issued by the laboratory, and starts batching only after confirming that there are no errors.
[0064] 2. Concrete mixing.
[0065] VI. Concrete Pouring and Vibration Molding
[0066] 1. Before grouting, a thorough inspection should be conducted on the position, quantity, and binding of the stirrups, whether the sleeves are perpendicular to the base plate, the condition of the dry ash and debris in the model, and the installation of accessories. Only after meeting the requirements can the work team be notified to start grouting. Otherwise, the relevant work team should be notified to handle the matter until the requirements are met.
[0067] 2. After the concrete is mixed, it is transported by a truck into a concrete placing vehicle, which then supplies the concrete into the mold shell.
[0068] 3. Use two-stage or multi-layered material feeding, ensuring even and appropriate material distribution. Due to the length and arrangement of some turnout sleepers, gaps may remain in the steel mold. Be careful not to feed material into these gaps to avoid waste; if necessary, use iron plates to cover them.
[0069] 4. Start the vibrator. Before each shift, check the vibrator motor and replace it immediately if any damage is found.
[0070] 5. After leveling the end concrete, use a vibrator to compact it every 500mm. Then start the vibrating motor and finish leveling within 1 minute of starting vibration. Set the vibration time to 180 seconds. The personnel handling the concrete should pay attention to the dryness and wetness of the concrete and promptly transmit the concrete quality information to the mixing plant staff.
[0071] 6. The vibration operator must control the concrete thickness. During vibration, the fishbone shape of the steel mold should be used as a reference. If the thickness exceeds the tolerance, the concrete should be adjusted by adding or removing material.
[0072] Estimate the amount of the last batch of material before leaving get off work, and clean the transport vehicle promptly after work. Cover the poured molds with tarpaulins immediately to keep them moist.
[0073] 7. Clean up any excess material on both sides, the back, and the surface of the steel mold.
[0074] 8. After cleaning the slag and edges, cover the area with a curing tarpaulin for maintenance.
[0075] VII. Maintenance
[0076] The turnout sleeper is cured naturally, immediately after vibration molding, and covered with a direct moisture-retaining material for the concrete.
[0077] 8. Unpacking and Demolding
[0078] 1. The following method shall be used for releasing the tension: Set the tension of the large hydraulic cylinder to 2130KN, first pull up the hydraulic cylinder, quickly loosen the mechanical nut, and then slowly release the tension. Sudden release of tension is strictly prohibited.
[0079] 2. After the tension is completely released, the prestressed steel wires are cut by burning. It is strictly forbidden to cut under stress. The cutting sequence is to start from the middle part and then cut along the tensioning end to the fixed end one by one. When cutting, be careful not to damage the end of the fork sleeper.
[0080] 3. After demolding, seal the sleeve opening. All electrical nuts, embedded nuts, and connecting components must be rust-proofed and sealed; no omissions are permitted.
[0081] (10) Palletizing
[0082] Qualified products, products awaiting repair, and defective products should be stacked separately. Products awaiting repair and defective products must not be mixed with qualified products.
[0083] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above, but the content described is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model and should not be considered as limiting the scope of implementation of this utility model. All equivalent changes and improvements made in accordance with the claims of this utility model should still fall within the patent coverage of this utility model.
