Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bridge construction technology, specifically an adjustable stirrup positioning frame. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the continuous development of bridge construction technology, the number of precast bridge components is constantly increasing, and steel reinforcement cages are one of them. The main function of steel reinforcement cages is to provide the necessary tensile and compressive strength for the concrete structure of bridges. Concrete itself has high compressive strength but relatively low tensile strength. Through synergistic action with concrete, steel reinforcement cages can effectively enhance the overall load-bearing capacity of the structure, enabling it to withstand greater loads. During the concrete pouring process, steel reinforcement cages can effectively limit the shrinkage and expansion of concrete, reducing the formation of cracks. Cracks not only affect the aesthetics of the structure but can also allow moisture and harmful substances to penetrate, affecting the durability of the structure.

[0003] In the production process of precast steel cages, the installation of stirrups is the most time-consuming and difficult-to-control quality stage. To shorten the steel cage manufacturing time and improve the quality of the finished product, various types of steel cage jigs have emerged. Chinese invention patent application number 201410520291.7 discloses a precast steel cage jig for pier columns that can simultaneously and accurately position the main reinforcement bars and stirrups. It includes a row of detachable semi-enclosed frames with bottom openings arranged along the length of the jig, positioning longitudinal beams arranged at the bottom and column crossbeams arranged at the top of each semi-enclosed frame along the length of the jig, and a row of positioning crossbeams arranged along the length of the jig. The semi-enclosed frames and positioning crossbeams are equipped with main reinforcement positioning mechanisms, and the positioning longitudinal beams and column crossbeams are equipped with stirrup positioning mechanisms. This precast steel reinforcement jig for piers can effectively improve the accuracy and speed of steel reinforcement prefabrication, resulting in a more rational structural stress distribution and a significantly higher pass rate for the protective layer of the piers. It is particularly suitable for large-scale construction projects using precast steel reinforcement with uniform cage designs. However, its large size and space requirements, coupled with the inability to fabricate variable cross-section steel cage stirrups, negatively impact user experience and hinder the widespread adoption and application of this precast steel reinforcement jig in bridge construction technology.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model is described below with reference to specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the present utility model.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0024] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Example: Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an adjustable stirrup positioning jig mainly consists of a bracket 1, a support plate 2, and an adjustment component 3. The bracket 1 provides fixed-position support, and the support plate 2 is installed on top of the bracket 1 so that the adjustment component 3 can be installed on the support plate 2. Specifically, in order to achieve the technical effect of changing the stirrups, i.e., the reinforcing bars 4, and to make the jig adjustable and have a small footprint, the adjustment component 3 in this embodiment mainly consists of a limiting block 3-1 and a limiting block 3-2. The limiting block 3-1 and the limiting block 3-2 are arranged opposite to each other, and a limiting groove 3-3 is formed between them to tighten and adapt to reinforcing bars 4 with different outer diameters. The support plate 2 has multiple adjustment holes 2-1. The limiting block 3-1 is connected to the support plate by a locking element 3-4 and the limiting block 3-2. -2 is installed in the adjustment hole 2-1 in an adjustable position via locking component 2-5. That is, by moving the locking component 1 3-4 and driving the limiting block 1 3-1 and the limiting block 2 3-2, the size of the limiting groove 3-3 between the limiting block 1 3-1 and the limiting block 2 3-2 can be set to be variable, so that it can meet the requirements of different types and sizes of steel bars 4. This allows for the production of stirrups that meet the requirements of variable cross-section steel cages, enhancing the user experience while improving production efficiency.

[0026] The support frame 1 in this embodiment has a simple and ingenious structure, and is easy to manufacture. It mainly consists of support legs 1-1 and supporting beams 1-2. To ensure the structural strength and stability of the support frame 1, and thus the stability of the reinforcing cage placed on it, the supporting beams 1-2 are arranged perpendicularly to the support legs 1-1 and fixed to the top of the support legs 1-1. Both the support legs 1-1 and the supporting beams 1-2 are made of channel steel, providing high strength and stability while facilitating processing and installation, thus improving the economic efficiency of the structure. The support legs 1-1 and the supporting beams 1-2 can be connected as a whole by welding, facilitating handling, etc.

[0027] Furthermore, to reduce manufacturing costs while meeting usage requirements, the support plate 2 in this embodiment is a steel plate, which can be fixed to the bracket 1 by welding. Using the center point of the support plate 2 as the starting point of the coordinate axis, adjustment holes 2-1 are arranged in the four quadrants in horizontal, vertical, and diagonal directions. This arrangement allows for adjustment of the reinforcing cage in multiple directions, improving structural flexibility. The limiting block 3-1 and the limiting block 3-2 are located on different adjustment holes 2-1 to prevent interference during adjustment. The adjustment hole 2-1 is an oblong hole, and both locking components 3-4 and 3-5 can move along the length of the adjustment hole 2-1, thereby adjusting the distance between the limiting block 3-1 and the limiting block 3-2.

[0028] To improve the adjustment capability while ensuring the stability of the first limiting block 3-1 and the second limiting block 3-2, in this embodiment, the first limiting block 3-1 is adjusted and fixed by two locking members 3-4, and the second limiting block 3-2 is adjusted and fixed by two locking members 3-5. That is, the first limiting block 3-1 and the second limiting block 3-2 are both fixed by two-point adjustment. By adjusting at multiple points, it can be ensured that the limiting blocks are evenly stressed during the adjustment process, reducing deformation or damage caused by uneven stress at a single point, and improving the stability and reliability of the structure. Correspondingly, each of the above-mentioned adjustment components 3 has four adjustment holes 2-1 so that the four locking members can be fixed in the four adjustment holes respectively.

[0029] In this embodiment, the limiting block 3-1 includes a limiting clamping part 3-1-1 and a limiting mounting part 3-1-2. The limiting clamping part 3-1-1 and the limiting mounting part 3-1-2 are arranged perpendicularly, i.e., in an "L" shape. The locking member 3-4 passes through the limiting mounting part 3-1-2 and extends into the adjusting hole 2-1 to fix the limiting block 3-1. The limiting block 3-2 has the same structure as the limiting block 3-1. Both the locking member 3-4 and the locking member 3-5 are simple in structure, easy to operate, and economical and practical locking bolts.

[0030] There are multiple adjustment components 3, with three adjustment components 3 forming a group, meaning there are three adjustment components 3 in each quadrant. Each group contains a transverse rebar adjustment component 5, a longitudinal rebar adjustment component 6, and a diagonal rebar adjustment component 7. The transverse rebar adjustment component 5 is used to tighten and adapt to the transversely arranged rebar 4, the longitudinal rebar adjustment component 6 is used to tighten and adapt to the longitudinally arranged rebar 4, and the diagonal rebar adjustment component 7 is used to tighten and adapt to the diagonally arranged rebar 4. To reduce operational difficulty, each group of adjustment components 3 is positioned near the corner of the support plate 2.

[0031] The central axis of the aforementioned transverse rebar adjustment assembly 5 is perpendicular to the central axis of the aforementioned longitudinal rebar adjustment assembly 6. The aforementioned oblique rebar adjustment assembly 7 is located inside the aforementioned transverse rebar adjustment assembly 5 and the aforementioned longitudinal rebar adjustment assembly 6, with the inner side being closer to the center of the aforementioned support plate 2. The oblique adjustment holes 2-1 for installing the aforementioned oblique rebar adjustment assembly 7 are arranged at a 45° angle, and the center line of the oblique adjustment hole coincides with the center line of the angle formed by the intersection of the extended center lines of the horizontal and vertical adjustment holes.

[0032] In this embodiment, an adjustable stirrup positioning frame is implemented by first moving the limiting block 3-1 and / or the limiting block 3-2 according to the stirrup spacing of the pier column reinforcement cage, so that the limiting groove 3-3 meets the stirrup size; after positioning, tighten the locking bolts one by one to fix the limiting blocks on the support plate 2; then, according to the stirrup shape requirements, place the stirrups one by one so that the stirrups pass through the center of the corresponding adjusting component 3, i.e., the limiting groove 3-3 line; after all the stirrups are placed, the reinforcement connection operation begins, connecting the various stirrups into a whole. After all the connections are completed, lift the entire stirrup assembly upwards to complete the fabrication of one layer of reinforcement cage stirrups.

[0033] This embodiment presents an adjustable stirrup positioning frame. The adjustable stirrup positioning frame has an ingenious structure, consisting of a bracket 1, a support plate 2, and an adjustment component 3. The distance between the limiting block 3-1 and the limiting block 3-2 in the adjustment component 3 is adjustable, allowing the frame to accommodate steel bars 4 of different outer diameters, thus meeting usage requirements. Furthermore, the overall structure of this positioning frame is simple and compact, reducing space occupation and enhancing the user experience. This facilitates the promotion and application of the aforementioned adjustable stirrup positioning frame in bridge construction technology.
