Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bridge cable facilities technology, and in particular to a fireproof gas clamp. Background Technology
[0002] The main cable is the main load-bearing component of a suspension bridge. It mainly bears tensile force and is generally made of steel with high tensile strength (steel wire, steel cable, etc.).
[0003] With the increase in vehicles and traffic volume, fires caused by traffic accidents are frequent in cable-stayed bridges. Currently, the protection of the dehumidifying air clips on the main cables of bridges only uses relatively simple paint anti-corrosion coatings, which is a weak link in the entire main cable fire protection system. There are no relevant case studies on the protection of the air clips in complex environments (such as high-temperature combustion). Although the cables, as key load-bearing components, have good mechanical properties and weather resistance, their fire resistance is poor. The high-temperature radiation from combustion can directly damage the load-bearing structure of the main cables through the air clips, potentially leading to the destruction of the entire bridge's load-bearing system and seriously threatening bridge safety. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a fireproof gas clamp to protect the main cable from the high temperature environment of deflagration, thereby improving the entire protection system and ultimately achieving effective protection of the load-bearing structure when the main cable is damaged by high temperature combustion.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A fireproof air clip, cylindrical in shape, includes an upper air clip and a lower air clip. The outer surfaces of both the upper and lower air clips are coated with a fireproof layer, comprising, from the inside out, a first epoxy fireproof coating layer, a reinforcing high-temperature fiber mesh, a second epoxy fireproof coating layer, and a fluorocarbon coating layer. The inner surfaces of both air clips are coated with a fireproof layer, comprising, from the inside out, a silicone structural adhesive layer and an aerogel layer. The upper and lower air clips are semi-cylindrical, made of stainless steel, and are assembled into a cylindrical air clip by bolts, nuts, or other fixing structures. The first and second epoxy fireproof coating layers are applied by coating scraping, each approximately 3mm thick, serving to insulate against high-temperature conduction. The reinforcing high-temperature fiber mesh is bonded and fixed by the coating layers, reinforcing the fireproof coating. The fluorocarbon coating layer is a topcoat layer, applied by roller coating, brushing, or spraying, with a thickness of approximately 80μm, used for corrosion protection and coloring at room temperature. The silicone structural adhesive layer is applied by a scraping process and is used to fix the aerogel. The aerogel layer, applied by a scraping process, is about 1 cm thick and serves to insulate against high-temperature conduction.
[0007] Preferably, the material of the reinforced high-temperature fiber mesh is ceramic fiber or high-silica fiber.
[0008] Preferably, the aerogel layer is made of quartz nano-aerogel, i.e., silica nano-aerogel or silicon-based nano-aerogel.
[0009] Preferably, the aerogel layer surface of the upper air clip is provided with a structural reinforcing mesh. This is used to strengthen the structural strength of the fireproof layer on the inner surface of the upper air clip and prevent the fireproof layer from peeling off.
[0010] Preferably, the surface of the aerogel layer of the lower air clip is also provided with a structural reinforcing mesh to enhance the structural strength of the fireproof layer on the inner surface of the lower air clip.
[0011] Preferably, the reinforcing mesh of the upper and lower air clamps is made of stainless steel wire.
[0012] The advantages of this utility model are: the air clamp protects the main cable from the high temperature environment of deflagration, thus perfecting the entire protection system and ultimately achieving effective protection of the load-bearing structure when the main cable is damaged by high temperature combustion.
