Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engineering equipment, and in particular to a ladder cage wall tie and a ladder cage for steel pipe columns. Background Technology
[0002] Ladder cages facilitate the movement of construction workers during bridge or building construction. They are easy to install and economical. The stability of the ladder cage is a key aspect of its installation. Installing wall ties between the ladder cage and the structure can improve its stability. Currently, most ladder cage wall ties involve fixing one end to the bridge's cylindrical pier with clamps or to non-cylindrical piers and structures with pre-embedded bolts, while the other end is fixed to the ladder cage via a fixing frame or welded steel pipe. The two ends are connected by adjustable screws, steel pipes, or cross members.
[0003] However, the existing ladder cage wall ties are difficult to apply to steel pipe columns because: when existing ladder cage wall ties are applied to steel pipe column structures, the steel pipe columns are thin-walled structures and are limited by processing errors, so the clamps cannot be completely tightly fitted to the steel pipe columns. This causes local stress to be generated at the bolt application points of the wall tie clamps, resulting in local deformation or damage to the steel pipe columns, which in turn affects the entire steel pipe column support system. Furthermore, the clamps and steel pipe columns are in steel-to-steel contact, with a low coefficient of friction, resulting in insufficient friction, an unstable connection, and the clamps are prone to loosening and falling off. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the problem that existing ladder cage wall ties are difficult to apply to steel pipe columns, and to provide a ladder cage wall ties and a ladder cage for steel pipe columns.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] In a first aspect, this utility model provides a ladder cage wall-connecting component for steel pipe columns, including a clamp, a turnbuckle, a connecting rod, and a square steel pipe; the inner side of the clamp is fully covered with rubber sheets, and the clamp is used to tighten the clamp to the steel pipe column through the rubber sheets; the turnbuckle includes threaded rods at both ends; one end of the connecting rod is hinged to the clamp, and the other end is connected to the threaded rod at one end of the turnbuckle; the square steel pipe is sleeved on the ladder cage column, and the square steel pipe is hinged to the threaded rod opposite to the connecting rod.
[0007] The ladder cage wall tie for steel pipe columns described in this utility model uses a rubber sheet tightly attached inside the clamp to fill the gap between the clamp and the steel pipe column. This allows the clamping force of the clamp to be evenly distributed across the thin-walled steel pipe column through the rubber sheet, preventing local deformation or damage to the steel pipe column. Simultaneously, after the clamp is tightened, the rubber sheet increases the friction force to fix the clamp, making the wall tie stable and improving structural safety. The length of the connecting rod is adjusted using the turnbuckle, ensuring a firm connection between the ladder cage and the wall tie, thus improving the stability of the ladder cage.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the clamp includes two channel steels bent into semicircles, and stiffening plates are connected to the ends of the channel steels. Matching first through holes are provided on the stiffening plates of the two channel steels facing each other, and bolts are fitted into the first through holes.
[0009] As a further preferred technical solution of this utility model, the channel steel includes a web and a flange. The web is arranged along the surface of the steel pipe column, and the flange is arranged perpendicular to the web. The rubber sheet is bonded to the inner side of the web.
[0010] As a further preferred technical solution of this utility model, one end of the connecting rod and the flange plate are provided with a matching second through hole, and the bolt is fitted into the second through hole.
[0011] As a further preferred technical solution of this utility model, the second through hole is provided in the middle of the flange plate.
[0012] As a further preferred technical solution of this utility model, after the two channel steels are fitted together, there is a gap between the opposite stiffening plates, and the gap is 3mm~7mm.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the inner dimension of the square steel tube is 2mm~3mm larger than the diameter of the ladder cage column.
[0014] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the square steel tube and the corresponding lead screw are respectively provided with ear plates, the ear plates are provided with matching third through holes, and the third through holes are fitted with bolts.
[0015] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the lead screw is threaded with an anti-slip nut.
[0016] Secondly, this utility model also provides a ladder cage, including ladder cage columns and ladder cage wall ties for steel pipe columns as described in any of the above.
[0017] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0018] This utility model discloses a ladder cage wall tie for steel pipe columns. By tightly attaching a rubber sheet inside the clamp to fill the gap between the clamp and the steel pipe column, the clamping force of the clamp is evenly distributed on the thin-walled steel pipe column through the rubber sheet, preventing local deformation or damage to the steel pipe column. At the same time, after the clamp is tightened, the rubber sheet increases the friction force to fix the clamp, making the wall tie stable and improving structural safety. The length of the connecting rod can be adjusted by the turnbuckle to ensure a firm connection between the ladder cage and the wall tie, improving the stability of the ladder cage.

Such connections can be mechanical, electrical, or communication connections; they can be direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components.
[0029] In related technologies, existing ladder cage wall ties are difficult to apply to steel pipe columns because: when existing ladder cage wall ties are applied to steel pipe column structures, the steel pipe columns are thin-walled structures, and due to processing errors, the clamps cannot be completely tightly fitted to the steel pipe columns. This causes localized stress at the bolt application points of the wall tie clamps on the steel pipe columns, leading to localized deformation or damage, which in turn affects the entire steel pipe column support system. Furthermore, the clamps and steel pipe columns are in steel-to-steel contact, resulting in a low coefficient of friction, insufficient friction, and an unstable connection, making the clamps prone to loosening and falling off. Therefore, the technical solution of this application was developed, which is described below in conjunction with... Figures 1 to 3 To elaborate.
[0030] Example 1
[0031] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the ladder cage wall tie for steel pipe columns described in this utility model includes a clamp 4, a rubber sheet 7, a bolt 6, a turnbuckle 2, a connecting rod 3, and a square steel pipe 8.
[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the clamp 4 includes two channel steels 41 bent into semicircles. Stiffening plates 42 are welded to the ends of the channel steels 41. Matching first through holes are provided on the stiffening plates 42 opposite to the two channel steels 41. Bolts 6 are fitted into the first through holes. The strength of the channel steels 41 and the stiffening plates 42 is not less than Q235, and the bolts 6 are not less than grade 8.8. The channel steel 41 includes a web and flanges. The channel steel 41 is bent into an arc from the web. The web is set along the surface of the steel pipe column 5, and the width of the opening in the web is configured as the diameter of the steel pipe column 5 + 6mm~8mm. The flanges are perpendicular to the web, and the stiffening plates 42 are perpendicular to both the flanges and the web. The stiffening plate 42 is straight, with its long side flush with the outer end of the web plate; the diameter of the first through hole is the diameter of the bolt 6 + 2mm; after the two channel steels 41 are fitted together, there is a gap between the opposing stiffening plates 42 for applying pressure when the bolt 6 is tightened, and the gap is 3mm~7mm; a second through hole is provided in the middle of the flange plate, and the bolt 6 is fitted into the second through hole, the diameter of the second through hole being the diameter of the bolt 6 + 2mm; the inner side of the clamp 4 is fully connected with rubber sheets 7, specifically the inner side of the web plate is glued to the rubber sheets 7, the size of the rubber sheets 7 is the same as the size of the web plate, and the clamp 4 is used to tighten the steel pipe column 5 through the rubber sheets 7.
[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the turnbuckle 2 includes threaded rods 21 at both ends; the connecting rod 3 can be made of steel pipe, one end of the connecting rod 3 is provided with a second through hole that matches the flange plate, and the connecting rod 3 is rotatably connected to the clamp 4 in the horizontal plane through the bolt 6 corresponding to the second through hole; the other end of the connecting rod 3 is welded to the threaded rod 21 at one end of the turnbuckle 2.
[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the square steel tube 8 is sleeved on the ladder cage column 11 of the ladder cage 1. The inner dimension of the square steel tube 8 is 2mm~3mm larger than the diameter of the ladder cage column 11. The square steel tube 8 is hinged to the threaded rod 21 opposite to the connecting rod 3. Specifically, the square steel tube 8 and the corresponding threaded rod 21 are respectively provided with horizontal ear plates. The square steel tube 8 is welded with a single ear plate, and the threaded rod 21 is welded with a double ear plate. The single ear plate is inserted into the middle of the double ear plates. The single ear plate and the double ear plates are provided with matching third through holes. The third through holes are fitted with bolts 6, so that the turnbuckle 2 and the square steel tube 8 can rotate freely in the horizontal plane. By inwardly rotating the turnbuckle 2, the connecting rod 3 corresponding to the threaded rod 21 and the square steel tube 8 corresponding to the threaded rod 21 are pulled closer together. After being pulled closer and in place, the anti-slip nuts 22 reserved on both sides of the threaded rod 21 at both ends of the turnbuckle 2 are tightened and fixed.

At the same time, after the clamp 4 is tightened, the rubber sheet 7 increases the friction force to fix the clamp 4, making the wall tie stable and improving structural safety. The length of the connecting rod 3 is adjusted by the turnbuckle 2, making the connection between the ladder cage 1 and the wall tie firm and improving the stability of the ladder cage 1.
