Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of prestressed steel structure technology, and in particular to a tensioning structure for steel cables. Background Technology

[0002] Steel cable tensioning is a core process in prestressed engineering, widely used in structures such as cable-stayed bridges, suspension bridges, large-span roofs, and stadiums. Its purpose is to actively apply tension to generate prestress in the structure before it bears a load, thereby improving its stiffness and load-bearing capacity. Currently, the cables are mainly forked-ear bidirectional screw cables, which can be divided into fixed ends and adjustable ends. The steel cables are tensioned through a tensioning structure.

[0003] In the prior art, such as the patent with publication number CN208533377U, a tooling device for tensioning cables in steel anchor boxes is disclosed, including a tensioning rod, a tensioning cylinder, a spreader beam, and a jack. The tensioning cylinder is a two-part assembly structure, and the upper end of the tensioning cylinder is connected to the spreader beam by a stop structure. The spreader beam is also a two-part assembly structure, with a slot in the middle for the cable to pass through, and round holes on both sides for the tensioning rod to pass through and screw holes for the bolts to pass through.

[0004] The above structure uses jacks for tensioning, which has the advantage of centering the connection of cables. However, during the tensioning process, it is impossible to increase the tension force and tensioning speed, resulting in low construction efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a tensioning structure for steel cables to solve the problems of low construction efficiency due to the inability to increase tension force and tensioning speed.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a tensioning structure for a steel cable, comprising a cable adjustment end and a cable fixing end fixedly installed on a component. The cable adjustment end has a cable component inside, and a cable head is fixedly installed on the outside of the cable component. One side of the cable head is fixedly connected to the cable fixing end.

[0007] A spreader beam is detachably installed on one side of the cable head. Tensioning rods are threaded through both sides of the spreader beam. A jack is installed on the outside of the tensioning rod. The output end of the jack is connected to the spreader beam. An anchor nut is threaded to one end of the tensioning rod, which is close to the end of the jack. A welding piece is inserted into the other end of the tensioning rod and welded to the component. A fastening nut is threaded to the outside of the tensioning rod.

[0008] A thrust member is provided on the other side of the cable head, which is used to provide reverse thrust.

[0009] Preferably, the thrust member includes a steel sleeve that is fitted onto the outside of the cable adjustment end, and two sets of push rods are passed through the inside of the steel sleeve. A support frame is fixedly installed at one end of each push rod, and the support frame is fitted onto the outside of the cable member.

[0010] The other end of the push rod is movably mounted with a contact wheel. Both sides of the contact wheel abut against reaction seats. A frame seat is slidably mounted on one side of each of the two sets of reaction seats. Multiple sets of second springs are fixedly connected between the reaction seats and the steel sleeve seat. Multiple sets of first springs are fixedly connected between the frame seat and the steel sleeve seat. One end of each set of second springs is connected to the other side of the reaction seat. One end of each set of first springs is connected to the other side of the frame seat. The other ends of both the sets of second springs and the sets of first springs are connected to the inner wall of the steel sleeve seat.

[0011] Preferably, both the spreader beam and the support frame are openable structures, and the spreader beam and the support frame are located on both sides of the cable head.

[0012] Preferably, the push rod is arranged in a mirror symmetry with respect to the center of the support frame, and the tension rod is arranged in a mirror symmetry with respect to the center of the spreader beam.

[0014] Preferably, one side of the reaction seat is inclined, and the reaction seat is arranged in a mirror symmetrical manner with respect to the center of the frame.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] The hydraulic pump applies a jacking force, and the anchor nut restricts the spreader beam to a reverse pressure, causing the spreader beam to push the cable head and move the cable component in the opposite direction to stretch the cable component. Each time the cable is tensioned, the anchor nut is tightened with a wrench until the tensioning is complete. During tensioning, the thrust component provides a reverse pulling force to the cable head each time the cable is tensioned, which increases the tensioning force and tensioning speed, resulting in high construction efficiency.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a tensioning structure for a steel cable includes a cable adjusting end 2 and a cable fixing end 1 fixedly installed on a component. A cable member 4 is provided inside the cable adjusting end 2, and a cable head 3 is fixedly installed on the outside of the cable member 4. One side of the cable head 3 is fixedly connected to the cable fixing end 1.

[0024] A spreader beam 5 is detachably installed on one side of the cable head 3. Tensioning rods 6 pass through both sides of the spreader beam 5. A jack 7 is installed on the outside of the tensioning rod 6. The output end of the jack 7 is connected to the spreader beam 5. An anchor nut 8 is threaded to one end of the tensioning rod 6. The anchor nut 8 is close to the end of the jack 7. A welding part 10 is inserted into the other end of the tensioning rod 6. The welding part 10 is welded to the component. A fastening nut 9 is threaded to the outside of the tensioning rod 6.

[0025] A thrust member 11 is provided on the other side of the cable head 3, which is used to provide reverse thrust.

[0026] In this embodiment, the hydraulic pump applies a jacking force to the jack 7. Due to the restriction of the anchor nut 8, the spreader beam 5 is subjected to reverse pressure, which causes the spreader beam 5 to push the cable head 3 and drive the cable member 4 to move in the opposite direction to stretch the cable member 4. Each time the cable is tensioned, the tightening nut 9 is tightened with a wrench until the tensioning is completed. During tensioning, each time the cable is tensioned, the thrust member 11 provides a reverse pulling force to the cable head 3 to improve the tensioning efficiency.

[0027] As one implementation method, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the thrust member 11 includes a steel sleeve 14 sleeved on the outside of the cable adjustment end 2. Two sets of push rods 13 pass through the inside of the steel sleeve 14. A support frame 12 is fixedly installed at one end of the push rod 13. The support frame 12 is sleeved on the outside of the cable member 4.

[0028] The other end of the push rod 13 is movably mounted with a contact wheel 19. Both sides of the contact wheel 19 abut against a reaction seat 18. A frame seat 16 is slidably mounted on one side of the two sets of reaction seats 18. Multiple sets of second springs 17 are fixedly connected between the reaction seat 18 and the steel sleeve seat 14. Multiple sets of first springs 15 are fixedly connected between the frame seat 16 and the steel sleeve seat 14. One end of the multiple sets of second springs 17 is connected to the other side of the reaction seat 18, and one end of the multiple sets of first springs 15 is connected to the other side of the frame seat 16. The other ends of the multiple sets of second springs 17 and the multiple sets of first springs 15 are all connected to the inner wall of the steel sleeve seat 14.

[0029] In this embodiment, during tensioning, on the other side of the cable head 3, due to the combination of the support frame 12 and the push rod 13, when the cable member 4 is stretched, the push rod 13 is subjected to the reverse thrust of the first spring 15 and the second spring 17, and the reaction seat 18 simultaneously squeezes towards the middle, driving the push rod 13 to push the cable head 3. Each time tensioning occurs, the push member 11 provides a reverse pulling force to the cable head 3.

[0030] As one implementation method, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, both the spreader beam 5 and the support frame 12 are openable structures, and the spreader beam 5 and the support frame 12 are located on both sides of the cable head 3.

[0031] In this embodiment, the cable head 3 is connected to one side by an openable flat beam 5, and the cable head 3 is connected to the other side by an openable support frame 12. The flat beam 5 tensions the cable head 3, and the support frame 12 provides thrust.

[0032] As one implementation method, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, push rod 13 is arranged in a mirror symmetry with respect to the center of support frame 12, and tension rod 6 is arranged in a mirror symmetry with respect to the center of spreader beam 5.

[0033] In this embodiment, two sets of jacks 7 are synchronously controlled to simultaneously tension two tension rods 6, with simultaneous tensioning on both sides, while two sets of push rods 13 synchronously push the cable head 3 to stretch.

[0034] As one implementation method, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first spring 15 and the second spring 17 are each provided with at least three sets, and the frame 16 has a U-shaped structure.

[0035] In this embodiment, multiple sets of first springs 15 and second springs 17 are set to apply reverse thrust to the cable head 3, thereby optimizing the tensioning operation.

[0036] As one implementation method, such as Figure 3 As shown, one side of the reaction seat 18 is set with an inclined surface, and the reaction seat 18 is set in a mirror symmetrical manner with the center of the frame seat 16 as the reference.

[0037] In this embodiment, the push rod 13 is subjected to the reverse thrust of the first spring 15 and the second spring 17. Since the reaction seat 18 is an inclined surface, the reaction seat 18 is squeezed towards the middle under the action of the second spring 17. At the same time, the first spring 15 pushes outward, which drives the support frame 12 at one end of the push rod 13 to push the cable head 3. Each time tensioning occurs, the thrust member 11 provides a reverse pulling force to the cable head 3, thereby improving the tensioning efficiency.

[0038] Working principle: During use, the hydraulic pump applies a jacking force to the jack 7. Due to the restriction of the anchor nut 8, the spreader beam 5 is subjected to reverse pressure, causing the spreader beam 5 to push the cable head 3 and drive the cable member 4 to move in the opposite direction, thus stretching the cable member 4. Each time the cable is stretched, the tightening nut 9 is tightened with a wrench until the tensioning is completed. At the same time, on the other side of the cable head 3, due to the combination of the support frame 12 and the push rod 13, when the cable member 4 is stretched, the push rod 13 is subjected to the reverse thrust of the first spring 15 and the second spring 17. Since the reaction seat 18 is inclined, under the action of the second spring 17, the reaction seat 18 is squeezed in the middle at the same time. At the same time, the first spring 15 pushes the frame seat 16 outward, which drives the support frame 12 at one end of the push rod 13 to push the cable head 3. Each time the cable is stretched, the push member 11 provides a reverse pulling force to the cable head 3.

[0039] Meanwhile, lifting lugs are installed on the component, and a winch is used to assist in traction on the lifting lugs 20. At the same time, the wind-resistant cable on the winch is wrapped around the outside of the cable head 3 to stabilize the cable body.
