Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of building construction technology, and in particular relates to a temporary fixing device for a pre-formed steel reinforcement cage. Background Technology

[0002] Against the backdrop of the rapid development of prefabricated buildings and industrialized construction, precast steel reinforcement cage technology has been widely applied in engineering fields such as industrial plants, long-span bridges, and high-rise buildings due to its advantages of high efficiency, standardization, and prefabrication. However, with the expansion of project scale and the increase in structural complexity, steel reinforcement cages face severe challenges in both factory prefabrication and on-site installation. Insufficient processing precision and declining connection reliability have become core bottlenecks restricting construction efficiency and project quality.

[0003] Traditional precast steel reinforcement cages rely heavily on manual tying or semi-automated equipment for processing. Their accuracy is limited by factors such as insufficient equipment rigidity, differences in operator skills, and environmental disturbances, leading to frequent errors in steel bar spacing and longitudinal bar thread processing. This makes it difficult to align the upper and lower steel bar axes during on-site sleeve connection. In large-span structures, inaccurate steel bar positioning and weakened overall cage rigidity can cause local deformation and sleeve misalignment, seriously affecting connection reliability. During the hoisting and transportation process after factory prefabrication, the steel reinforcement cage is prone to irreversible plastic deformation due to external pressure and vibration, further amplifying the initial accuracy error.

[0004] Existing sleeve connection technology requires that the end positions, axial deviations, and thread matching of the upper and lower reinforcing bars be controlled within millimeter tolerances. In actual engineering projects, due to thermal expansion and contraction or equipment system errors during factory prefabrication, the pre-embedded position of the sleeve often shifts or the thread gap at the end of the reinforcing bar exceeds the limit. During on-site installation, due to the lack of efficient positioning methods, it is necessary to rely on repeated manual adjustments of the reinforcing bar position, which is inefficient and cannot meet the standardized requirements of industrialized construction. There is an urgent need for a temporary fixing device that can adapt to complex working conditions: during the factory prefabrication stage, it is necessary to provide rigid support after the reinforcing bars are tied to suppress thermal deformation and hoisting deformation; during the on-site installation stage, it is necessary to quickly achieve precise alignment and temporary locking of the upper and lower reinforcing bar cages to create "zero adjustment" conditions for sleeve connections. Existing temporary support tools are mostly simple brackets or welded fixation, which have problems such as rough adjustment, inefficient disassembly and assembly, and damage to the reinforcing bars, and cannot meet the precision and efficiency requirements of industrialized construction. Therefore, a temporary fixing device for pre-formed reinforcing bar cages is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a temporary fixing device for a pre-formed steel reinforcement cage to solve the existing problems.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model relates to a temporary fixing device for a precast steel reinforcement cage, comprising a fixing component, a clamping block, and a pressing block. The fixing component includes steel plate one, steel plate two, steel plate three, and steel plate four. Several positioning blocks are equidistantly arranged on one side of steel plate one and steel plate three. Several positioning slots are equidistantly opened on one side of steel plate two and steel plate four. Several arc-shaped grooves are equidistantly opened on one side of each of the positioning blocks and positioning slots on steel plate one, steel plate two, steel plate three, and steel plate four. Each of the arc-shaped grooves has an installation groove on its inner wall. Several round holes are equidistantly opened on one side of each of steel plate one, steel plate two, steel plate three, and steel plate four. Fixing blocks are symmetrically arranged on one side of steel plate three. A sliding column is provided on one side of the pressing block. A spring is sleeved on the periphery of the sliding column. A threaded groove is opened on one side of the sliding column, and a bolt is installed in the threaded groove. The bolt is threadedly engaged with the threaded groove. The clamping block has a U-shaped plate structure, and the round holes communicate with the installation grooves.

[0008] Furthermore, the position of the positioning block is adapted to the position of the positioning slot, the shape and size of the positioning block are adapted to the positioning slot, the positioning block and the positioning slot are engaged, the shape and size of the clamping block are adapted to the mounting groove, the shape and size of the sliding column are adapted to the round hole, the clamping block is set in the mounting groove, the sliding column is set in the round hole, one end of the spring abuts against one side of the clamping block, the free end of the spring abuts against one side of the inner wall of the mounting groove, the clamping block slides in the mounting groove, the sliding column slides in the round hole, and the bottom surface of the clamping block is a U-shaped bevel.

[0010] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] This utility model involves installing clamping blocks in the pre-reserved mounting grooves of steel plates 1, 2, 3, and 4 after factory processing. During installation, a spring with a high stiffness coefficient is first placed around the circumference of the sliding column, then the clamping block is inserted into the mounting groove. The sliding column is then inserted through the round hole, and the bolt is threaded into the threaded groove. At this time, one end of the spring abuts against one side of the clamping block, and the free end of the spring abuts against one side of the inner wall of the mounting groove. The bolt is located on the outside of the round hole, which can prevent the clamping block from falling out of the mounting groove during operation.

[0012] After installing the clamping blocks in sequence, connect steel plates one and two, and steel plates three and four in pairs as shown in the diagram. After completing the above operations, install the clamping blocks as shown in the diagram. This allows for pairwise fixation between the steel plates. The contact surface between the clamping blocks and the reinforcing bars is designed as a U-shaped bevel; during installation, simply press down to complete the fixation.

[0013] Modular design significantly improves construction efficiency: The modular design, utilizing eight prefabricated steel plates assembled in grooves and quickly locked with U-shaped clamps, enables factory prefabrication and rapid on-site assembly of the device. This drastically shortens the construction cycle and reduces on-site manual adjustment steps, lowering positioning time and costs.

[0014] High-precision adaptive adjustment capability: Based on the elastic pre-tightening mechanism of springs and clamping blocks and the U-shaped inclined surface design, it can make fine adjustments while locking the reinforcing bars.

[0015] Cost and reliability optimization: Modular fixing devices reduce manual calibration operations, lowering labor costs and the risk of human error. Damaged modular units can be partially replaced, reducing maintenance costs.

[0016] Process compatibility: The steel reinforcement cage after temporary fixation and protection can avoid secondary deformation during transportation and can be directly grouted with sleeves or threaded connections to ensure the overall strength of the structure.

[0017] Environmental adaptability: The modular structure can adapt to various actual construction types and can also be customized according to specific dimensions, with module unit sizes designed accordingly. Furthermore, the modularity allows for the reuse of some materials after dismantling the device.
