Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pile foundation construction technology, and specifically relates to a fixing device inside the reinforcement cage hole of a pile foundation. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in pile foundation construction, the fixing of the reinforcing cage is a crucial step in ensuring project quality. Traditional methods typically involve welding reinforcing bars or using structural steel to fix the top of the cage to a steel casing to ensure verticality, prevent the bottom from contacting the borehole bottom, and ensure the protective layer thickness meets design requirements. However, in special circumstances such as complex geological conditions (e.g., karst caves, faults, quicksand), limited construction site space, or the use of a full casing follow-up process, traditional fixing methods become difficult to implement. This can lead to problems such as the reinforcing cage contacting the borehole bottom, twisting deformation, or misalignment, resulting in uneven protective layer thickness, insufficient protective layer in some areas, and cage misalignment, ultimately affecting the durability and safety of the pile foundation.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device that can stably fix the steel cage under special working conditions to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a fixing device for the inner hole of a pile foundation rebar cage. By combining the buoyancy of the airbag with the cage fixing system, it solves the problem of the rebar cage being unable to be fixed under special working conditions, ensuring that the verticality, protective layer thickness, and center position of the rebar cage meet the design requirements.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fixing device for the inner hole of a pile foundation reinforcement cage, comprising: an air compressor, an air supply pipe, a valve group, an air bladder, and a cage fixing system; the air supply pipe connects the air compressor and the air bladder, and the valve group is arranged on the air supply pipe; the cage fixing system is a cage structure and is connected to the pile foundation reinforcement cage; the cage fixing system is equipped with a compartment, and the air bladder is disposed in the compartment; the buoyancy of the air bladder in its inflated state is greater than the self-weight of the cage fixing system and the pile foundation reinforcement cage.

[0006] Furthermore, the cage fixing system includes main reinforcement bars, restraint reinforcement bars, and stirrups; multiple main reinforcement bars are spaced apart circumferentially along the pile foundation reinforcement cage, the lower ends of the main reinforcement bars are connected to the pile foundation reinforcement cage, and the upper ends of the multiple main reinforcement bars are connected to the restraint reinforcement bars to form an integral structure; the stirrups clamp and connect the multiple main reinforcement bars; the main reinforcement bars, restraint reinforcement bars, and stirrups together form the compartment.

[0007] Furthermore, the cage fixing system also includes a lifting point, which is located at the upper end of the main reinforcing bar.

[0008] Furthermore, there are multiple stirrups, and the multiple stirrups are spaced apart along the height direction of the main reinforcement.

[0009] Furthermore, there are three constraint ribs, which are arranged in an equilateral triangle at the top of the airbag.

[0010] Furthermore, the air inlet of the airbag is located at the top and inside the constraint ribs arranged in an equilateral triangle.

[0011] Furthermore, the valve assembly includes multiple valves; the top of the airbag is provided with multiple air inlets; each air inlet is equipped with one of the valves and is connected to the air supply pipe.

[0012] Furthermore, the valve is a ball valve.

[0013] Furthermore, a pressure gauge is also installed on the gas pipeline.

[0014] Furthermore, the airbag is a cylindrical flexible inflatable component.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The buoyancy of the airbag supports the pile foundation reinforcement cage, avoiding the reliance on steel casings in traditional fixing methods. This makes it suitable for special working conditions such as complex geology, limited space, and full casing installation. The cage fixing system forms a rigid cage structure with compartments through restraint bars, main bars, and stirrups, effectively limiting airbag movement and uniformly transmitting buoyancy, ensuring the verticality and accurate centering of the pile foundation reinforcement cage, and solving the problems of twisting and misalignment. The valve group, in conjunction with the pressure gauge, achieves precise control of the airbag pressure and can monitor leakage in real time, ensuring the reliability of the fixing device. The connection method of each component of the fixing device is simple, the structure has high strength, and it is reusable, reducing construction costs. Attached Figure Description

The specification of the restraint bar 9 is HRB400φ25 threaded steel, and its model can be adjusted by calculation according to the weight and size of the pile foundation steel cage 11.

[0030] The stirrups 10 are used to increase the overall rigidity of the cage fixing system 12 and enhance its integrity. The specifications of the stirrups 10 are HRB400φ25 threaded steel.

[0037] Step 5: Keep the first valve 2, the second valve 4 and the third valve 5 open, start the air compressor 1 to inflate the air bag 6, observe the value of the pressure gauge 3, stop inflating after the gas pressure in the air bag 6 reaches the required level, and close the first valve 2, the second valve 4 and the third valve 5.

[0038] Step 6: Remove the crane hook and use the buoyancy of the airbag 6 to keep the pile foundation steel cage 11 upright in its designed position.
