Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pile and column construction technology, specifically to a rapid docking device for segmented hoisting of pile and column steel cages. Background Technology
[0002] During pile foundation construction, when the pile foundation is deep and the lifting height and weight of the hoisting equipment cannot meet the requirements for one-time hoisting, or when the rigidity of the steel cage itself cannot meet the requirements for one-time hoisting, the steel cage is generally divided into two or more sections for hoisting.
[0003] Currently, the on-site splicing method for prefabricated steel cages generally adopts lap welding. However, the construction site conditions are poor, the welding is difficult, the construction efficiency is low, there are many steel bar joints, and the welding time is not easy to control. This can easily lead to excessive joint treatment time and cause pile foundation collapse.
[0004] If a sleeve connection process is used, all sleeves at the joints need to be tightened simultaneously, which is extremely difficult to achieve. Furthermore, gaps are inevitable in the butt joints, resulting in insufficient thread length and affecting joint strength. Currently, there are two common solutions: one is to use an extended sleeve, with a standard thread machined at one end of the butt joint and the other end threaded to the length of the extended sleeve. Before butt jointing, the sleeve is fully screwed onto the extended threaded rebar. After butt jointing, the sleeve is then tightened back onto the standard threaded rebar. This method results in thread leakage exceeding the allowable limit in the specifications, leading to a loss of joint strength. The other method involves first thickening one end of the butt joint, then threading it, and screwing the sleeve onto the thickened end. After butt jointing, the sleeve is then tightened back onto the normal joint rebar. This method is complex and requires high-quality thickening. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a quick rebar cage connection device that can prevent rebar misalignment during connection construction, facilitate connection, and avoid loss of joint strength.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] This utility model provides a quick-connection device for rebar cages. The device includes a sleeve pin, a cylindrical outer shell, and a locking sleeve. There are two sleeve pins, namely a first sleeve pin and a second sleeve pin. There is one cylindrical outer shell and one locking sleeve. The first sleeve pin is threadedly connected to the upper section of the corresponding segmented rebar cage, and the second sleeve pin is threadedly connected to the lower section of the corresponding segmented rebar cage. The pin heads of the first sleeve pin and the second sleeve pin are pressed together. The locking sleeve is sleeved on the second sleeve pin, and the cylindrical outer shell is sleeved on the first sleeve pin. The locking sleeve is connected to the cylindrical outer shell sleeve.
[0008] The first sleeve pin and the second sleeve pin have the same structure and size.
[0009] The internal thread of the sleeve pin matches the thread of the reinforcing bar in the steel cage.
[0010] The internal thread of the cylindrical outer shell matches the external thread of the locking sleeve.
[0011] The sleeve pin includes a pin head and a pin shank. The pin head is a cylindrical head, and the length of the pin shank is half the length of the straight thread sleeve. The pin shank has a threaded hole inside that matches the diameter of the reinforcing bars in the reinforcing cage. The thread of the threaded hole is a straight thread.
[0012] The locking sleeve includes a locking sleeve body and a limiting step. The locking sleeve body has an inner hole, which is a smooth, continuous circular hole with a diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the pin shank of the second sleeve. The outer wall of the locking sleeve body has an external thread with a thread length of 2 + 5 mm. One end of the outer wall of the locking sleeve body has a limiting step, which is a hexagonal polygonal prism or an anti-slip shape formed by cutting a cylinder. The other end of the limiting step is the locking sleeve insertion port.
[0013] The cylindrical shell includes a cylindrical shell body and an end limiting plate. The outer wall of the cylindrical shell body is engraved with anti-slip diagonal lines. The cylindrical shell body has an inner hole with a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the pin head of the first sleeve pin. The inner section of the inner hole has a smooth hole wall with a depth H1 that is twice the thickness of the pin head of the sleeve pin. The outer section has an internally threaded hole wall with a depth H2 = length of straight thread sleeve / 2 + 5mm. The threaded section of the cylindrical shell has a locking round hole, which is locked with a screw. One end of the cylindrical shell body has an end limiting plate with a cylindrical hole in the center, the diameter of which is slightly larger than the diameter of the pin shank of the first sleeve pin. The other end of the cylindrical shell is a cylindrical shell socket.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] 1. The locking sleeve and cylindrical outer shell of this utility model are pre-fitted onto the steel cage for connecting reinforcement bars. When the steel cages are connected, the steel bars can be mechanically connected and reinforced one by one, which is simple to operate.
[0016] 2. This utility model uses a cylindrical outer shell to tighten the sleeve pin shaft for connection, which can ensure that there are no exposed threads of the reinforcing bars and avoid the loss of strength of the reinforcing bar butt joint.
[0017] 3. The two sleeve pins of this utility model are slidably connected to the cylindrical outer shell, and can rotate and slide freely. Compared with the threaded connection, it will not cause difficulty in screwing due to misalignment of the mating.
[0018] 4. This utility model can directly replace the sleeve and be used at the sectioning of the rebar cage. It can directly process the rebar cage into a whole without the need to process the rebar cage in sections or use rebar positioning auxiliary tools.
[0019] 5. The steel cage processed using this utility model can be quickly divided into two or more sections by unscrewing the locking sleeve and cylindrical outer shell of this utility model at the sectioning point.
[0020] 6. The locking sleeve and cylindrical outer shell of this utility model have a margin in thread length, which can solve the problem that when the steel cage is slightly deformed during hoisting, the joint gap will not affect the thread length and will not cause a loss of joint strength.
[0021] 7. By first processing the steel cage as a whole and then disassembling it into sections, problems such as misalignment of steel bar joints and excessive gaps can be avoided when hoisting the steel cage into sections.
[0022] 8. This utility model has the feature of being repeatedly installable and disassembled, and has the advantage of being directly used for the overall processing of steel cages and disassembling and installing them in sections. Attached Figure Description

The device includes a sleeve pin, a locking sleeve 2, and a cylindrical outer shell 3, all of which are made of high-strength stainless steel. There are two sleeve pins: a first sleeve pin 1a and a second sleeve pin 1b. The two sleeve pins have the same structure and size. Each sleeve pin includes a pin head 11 and a pin shank 12. The pin head 11 is a cylindrical head, and the pin shank 12 is half the length of the straight-threaded sleeve. The pin shank 12 has a threaded hole 13 inside that matches the diameter of the rebar in the rebar cage. The threaded hole 13 uses a straight thread.

[0040] Combination Figure 9-13 When using this quick-connection device for rebar cage connection, the device is first used to replace the rebar sleeves at the segmentation points to fabricate the rebar cage as a whole. Then, the rebar cage is disassembled into two sections for hoisting, and the device is used to reconnect the rebar cage into a whole. The specific implementation steps are as follows:
[0041] S1: The main reinforcement bars of the steel cage are processed in sections, and the steel cage is fabricated as a whole. First, the positions of the steel cage sections are determined on the CAD drawing, and the main reinforcement bars are cut according to the sections. In the prefabrication plant, the steel cage is fabricated as a whole. The main reinforcement bars on both sides of the steel cage section position are mechanically connected using this docking device: First, the cylindrical shell 3 is inserted into the corresponding upper section steel bar 4a, and then the first sleeve pin 1a is fitted into the threaded end 41 of the upper section steel bar 4a. Then, the first sleeve pin 1a is rotated until the threaded end 41 abuts against the end face of the first sleeve pin 1a and tightened. Similarly, the locking sleeve 2 is inserted into the lower section steel bar 4b, and then the second sleeve pin 1b is fitted into the threaded end 41 of the lower section steel bar 4b. Then, the second sleeve pin 1b is rotated until the threaded end 41 abuts against the end face of the second sleeve pin 1b and tightened. Second, the assembled parts formed in the first step are docked, and the pin heads 11 of the first sleeve pin 1a and the second sleeve pin 1b are tightly abutted without misalignment. Thirdly, first, press the end face of the locking sleeve socket 24 of the locking sleeve 2 against the pin head 11 of the second sleeve pin 1b. Then, insert the cylindrical outer shell 3 into the external thread 22 of the locking sleeve 2. Rotate the cylindrical outer shell 3 so that the internal thread of the internal thread hole wall 35 of the cylindrical outer shell 3 engages with the external thread 22 of the locking sleeve 2, until the end limiting plate 32 of the cylindrical outer shell 3 is locked against the pin head 11 of the first sleeve pin 1a. Then tighten it and screw the screw into the locking hole 36 on the cylindrical outer shell 3 to lock it. After the main reinforcement bars of the steel cage are connected longitudinally using this butt joint device, the main reinforcement bars are fixed to the positioning reinforcement bars. Then, the circumferential stirrups are tied. See Appendix. Figure 9 .
[0042] S2: Disassemble the docking device and the rebar cage sections. Select at least two main reinforcing bars at the rebar cage section as positioning main reinforcing bars, number them, and tie the number plates to the main reinforcing bars with tie wire; then remove the spiral stirrups and temporarily fix them outside the docking area, unscrew the locking sleeve 2 and cylindrical shell 3 of the docking device to disconnect the connection, and divide the rebar cage into two sections, see Appendix. Figure 10 .
[0043] S3: Segmented hoisting and connection of the reinforcing cage. First, lower the first section of the reinforcing cage and fix it at the platform of the pile hole. Then, lower the second section of the reinforcing cage, aligning and tightening the same numbered main reinforcement bars of the upper and lower sections. Temporarily fix it manually. See appendix. Figure 11 .
[0044] S4: Connect using this docking device. Tighten the locking sleeve 2 on the positioning main rib to the sleeve pin, then screw the cylindrical outer shell 3 into the locking sleeve 2 until it is fully engaged, and then tighten. Similarly, adjust the alignment of the other main ribs and tighten the locking sleeve 2 and cylindrical outer shell 3. See attached diagram. Figure 12 The main reinforcing bars on both sides of the segmented position of the steel cage are reconnected one by one using the docking device. After all the main reinforcing bars of the steel cage are reconnected, the screws are inserted into the locking holes 36 of the cylindrical outer shell 3 to lock them in place. At this point, the docking device can no longer be disassembled.
[0045] S5: Binding of circumferential stirrups in the reinforcing cage. Redistribute the circumferential stirrups in the butt joint area according to standard spacing and securely bind them to the main reinforcement. See Appendix. Figure 13 .
[0046] When the main reinforcement bars of the steel cage are misaligned during the connection of the upper and lower sections due to bending during hoisting, auxiliary tools are used to align the misaligned main reinforcement bars and ensure that the gap between the main reinforcement bars is less than 5mm. Then, the connection device is used to connect the upper and lower main reinforcement bars.
