Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cage installation equipment, and in particular to a monopile integrated cage installation equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In large-scale infrastructure construction, monopile foundations, as key components supporting the superstructure, directly affect the stability and safety of the entire project through their construction quality. The cage, as an important part of the monopile foundation, enhances the strength and corrosion resistance of the pile. Therefore, the precise installation of the cage becomes a core aspect of the construction process. However, traditional cage installation equipment often suffers from complex structures, cumbersome operations, and low installation accuracy, making it difficult to meet the current demands for efficient and precise construction in building engineering. Developing a monopile cage installation device can not only improve construction efficiency and reduce labor costs but also effectively guarantee the quality of cage installation, which is of great significance for promoting the development of building construction technology.
[0003] Existing monopile cage installation equipment mainly adopts traditional mechanical structures and operating methods. Some equipment uses simple hoisting devices in conjunction with manual assistance for installation. The cage is lifted by a crane, and operators use manual tools on the ground or high platform to adjust and fix the position of the cage.
[0004] However, existing cage installation equipment suffers from problems such as the clamping device being unable to adapt to cages of different sizes, resulting in low installation efficiency and difficulty in guaranteeing accuracy. In actual construction, the cage specifications required for building projects are diverse, ranging from small and medium diameter civil building cages to ultra-large diameter bridge pile foundation cages. Traditional fixed-specification or simply adjustable clamping devices cannot flexibly adapt to these requirements. The diameter of single pile cages varies greatly among different bridge piers. When using traditional fixed clamps, frequent clamp replacements or a lot of time is required for manual adjustment, which not only delays the construction period but also causes wear and tear on the clamps due to repeated disassembly and assembly, further reducing clamping accuracy. On the other hand, using manual or limited-gear adjustment clamping methods makes it difficult to accurately control the clamping force and position, which can easily cause cage installation deviations. Therefore, an integrated single pile cage installation device is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a monopile integrated cage installation device, which aims to improve the problem that the traditional fixed-specification or simply adjustable clamping devices in the prior art cannot be flexibly adapted, and require frequent clamp replacements or a lot of time for manual adjustment.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A monopile integrated cage installation device includes a support frame, a slide rail one fixedly connected to the inner side of the support frame, a lifting frame slidably connected to the outer wall of the slide rail one, a fixing frame fixedly connected to the top of the lifting frame, a storage plate fixedly connected to the top of the fixing frame, a slide rail two fixedly connected to the top of the fixing frame, a slider slidably connected to the outer wall of the slide rail two, a connecting frame fixedly connected to the top of the slider, a fixing component provided on one side of the connecting frame, and a connecting component provided inside the lifting frame;
[0008] The fixing component includes a gripper, one side of which is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting frame. A motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing frame, and a gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. The gear is rotatably connected inside the fixing frame. A rack is slidably connected inside the fixing frame and meshes with the gear. A connecting block is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rack, and the top of the connecting block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting frame.
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0010] The connecting assembly includes a sliding column and a connecting frame. The sliding column is slidably connected inside the lifting frame, and the top end of the connecting frame is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sliding column.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0012] Connecting rod one is rotatably connected inside the connecting frame, and connecting rod two is rotatably connected inside the connecting frame.
[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0014] The lifting frame is internally fixedly connected to symmetrical left and right fixed frames, and each of the two fixed frames is rotatably connected to a support shaft.
[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0016] The lifting frame is internally fixedly connected with symmetrical connecting shafts, and connecting rod one and connecting rod two are rotatably connected to the outer walls of the two supporting shafts and the connecting shafts, respectively.
[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0018] Both connecting rod one and connecting rod two have locking blocks fixedly connected to their outer walls, and the locking blocks are rotatably connected to the outer wall of the connecting shaft.
[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0020] A limiting block is fixedly connected to the inner side of the support frame, and the limiting block engages with the locking block.
[0021] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0022] A spring sheet is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding column, and the top of the spring sheet is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner side of the lifting frame.
[0023] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0024] 1. In this utility model, the starting motor drives the gear to rotate in the fixed frame. The meshing transmission between the gear and the rack causes the rack to slide, thereby driving the connecting block and the connecting frame to move, realizing the opening and closing of the gripper and the adjustment of its position. This achieves the effect of the gripper adapting to the fixing needs of cages of different sizes, solving the problem that traditional clamping devices with fixed specifications or simple adjustments cannot be flexibly adapted, requiring frequent changes of clamps or spending a lot of time on manual adjustments, thus improving the applicability of the installation equipment.
[0025] 2. In this utility model, the lifting frame slides up and down along the slide rail inside the support frame, causing the sliding column to move synchronously, which in turn causes the connecting rod inside the connecting frame to rotate, pushing the locking block to engage with the limiting block. At the same time, the compression spring provides elastic support, achieving a stable connection between the lifting frame and the support frame and preventing the lifting frame from falling. This solves the problem that the connection structure of traditional cage installation equipment is unstable during the lifting process, which can easily lead to the lifting frame loosening and falling, threatening the safety of the cage and the life safety of the operators, thereby improving the stability of the installation equipment.

[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0034] Reference Figures 1-3 The present invention provides an embodiment of a single-pile integrated cage installation device, comprising a support frame 1, a slide rail 2 fixedly connected to the inner side of the support frame 1, a lifting frame 3 slidably connected to the outer wall of the slide rail 2, the lifting frame 3 being used to vertically lift and lower itself via a sliding function to achieve precise installation operation, a fixing frame 4 fixedly connected to the top of the lifting frame 3, a shelf 5 fixedly connected to the top of the fixing frame 4, a slide rail 6 fixedly connected to the top of the fixing frame 4, a slider 7 slidably connected to the outer wall of the slide rail 6, a connecting frame 8 fixedly connected to the top of the slider 7, a fixing component provided on one side of the connecting frame 8, and a connecting component provided inside the lifting frame 3;
[0035] The fixing component includes a clamp 9, one side of which is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting frame 8. The clamping force of the clamp 9 ensures that the cage does not shift during operation. A motor 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing frame 4. A gear 11 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 10. The gear 11 is rotatably connected inside the fixing frame 4. A rack 12 is slidably connected inside the fixing frame 4. The rack 12 meshes with the gear 11. The motor 10 drives the gear 11 to rotate inside the fixing frame 4. The gear 11 meshes with the rack 12. The rack 12 slides along the guide groove inside the fixing frame 4, driving the connecting block 13 and the connecting frame 8 to move forward. The clamp 9 installed on the connecting frame 8 changes position as the connecting frame 8 moves, achieving the purpose of clamping the cage. This ensures that the cage is firmly fixed during installation, preventing loosening or displacement, and ensuring the stability and safety of the installation. A connecting block 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rack 12. The top of the connecting block 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting frame 8.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The connecting assembly includes a sliding column 15 and a connecting frame 16. The sliding column 15 is slidably connected inside the lifting frame 3. The top of the connecting frame 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding column 15. A connecting rod 17 and a connecting rod 18 are rotatably connected inside the connecting frame 16. These two connecting rods play an important transmission role, converting the vertical movement of the sliding column 15 into the movement of other parts. Symmetrical fixed frames 19 are fixedly connected inside the lifting frame 3. Support shafts 20 are rotatably connected inside each of the two fixed frames 19. Symmetrical connecting shafts 21 are also fixedly connected inside the lifting frame 3. The connecting rods 17 and 18 are respectively... Rotary connections are made to the outer walls of the two support shafts 20 and the connecting shaft 21. Locking blocks 22 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of both connecting rod 17 and connecting rod 28. Locking blocks 22 are rotatably connected to the outer wall of the connecting shaft 21. Limiting blocks 23 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the support frame 1. Limiting blocks 23 engage with locking blocks 22. The function of limiting blocks 23 is to engage with locking blocks 22 to prevent excessive movement or deviation of the equipment during operation. A spring sheet 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding column 15. The top of the spring sheet 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom inner side of the lifting frame 3. The spring sheet 14 provides additional elastic support to ensure that the lifting frame 3 does not jam during vertical lifting.
[0037] Working principle: During the installation of the cage, the lifting frame 3 is moved to a suitable height by the slide rail 2. Then, the fixing component is driven by the motor 10 to clamp the cage with the gripper 9. The position of the cage is then finely adjusted by the slide rail 6 and the slider 7 to ensure that the cage is accurately installed on the monopile. After installation, the lifting frame 3 can be lowered and retracted along the slide rail 2 by releasing the connecting component. When fixing the cage, the cage is first placed on the placement plate 5. Then, the motor 10 is started to drive the gear 11 to rotate in the fixing frame 4. Since the gear 11 meshes with the rack 12, the rack 12 slides in the fixing frame 4, thereby driving the connecting block 13 and the connecting frame 8 to move. The gripper 9 on one side of the connecting frame 8 moves with the connecting frame 8. When it moves to a suitable position, the gripper 9 can clamp and fix the cage. By rotating the motor 10 forward and reverse, the gripper 9 can be opened, closed and its position adjusted to meet the fixing requirements of cages of different sizes.
[0038] During the installation and lifting of the cage, the lifting frame 3 can slide up and down along the slide rail 2 inside the support frame 1. As the lifting frame 3 rises, the sliding column 15 moves synchronously inside the lifting frame 3. At the same time, the connecting rod 17 and connecting rod 18 inside the connecting frame 16 rotate around the support shaft 20 and the connecting shaft 21. The locking block 22 gradually approaches the limiting block 23. When the locking block 22 and the limiting block 23 are fully engaged, a stable connection is formed between the lifting frame 3 and the support frame 1. At this time, the spring piece 14 is compressed, providing a certain elastic support force to prevent the connection from loosening. During the lifting process, the engaging structure of the locking block 22 and the limiting block 23, as well as the elasticity of the spring piece 14, can effectively prevent the lifting frame 3 from falling, ensuring the safety of the cage and the operators. To disengage and lower the cage, pull the sliding column 15 upwards to disengage the locking block 22 from the limiting block 23, thus achieving a safe descent of the lifting frame 3.
[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
