Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of hoisting tools, and in particular to a hoisting tool for the steel reinforcement cage of a box girder. Background Technology
[0002] The steel reinforcement cage of a box girder is a steel reinforcement structural system used in bridge box girders. It is mainly composed of longitudinal bars, transverse bars, stirrups, and web bars. In concrete box girders, it plays a role in bearing tensile forces, enhancing structural stiffness, and controlling cracks. The steel reinforcement cage is usually pre-tied or welded before prefabrication or cast-in-place construction to ensure accurate bar placement and structural integrity. The rational design and arrangement of the steel reinforcement cage is the key to ensuring the load-bearing capacity, durability, and safety of the box girder.
[0003] Lifting equipment for box girder reinforcement cages is used to lift and position the reinforcement cages during construction. Common types include wire rope lifting equipment, clamp-type lifting equipment, and longitudinal upper chord lifting equipment. The lifting equipment must have sufficient load-bearing capacity and stability to ensure that the cage does not deform or slip during lifting. The arrangement of lifting points should be reasonable and is usually designed in conjunction with the cage structure and center of gravity. Selecting appropriate lifting equipment can improve lifting efficiency and ensure construction safety.
[0004] Traditional lifting equipment typically uses welded I-beam structures, which, while possessing a certain load-bearing capacity and stability, suffer from insufficient overall rigidity during the lifting of box girder reinforcement cages. This can easily lead to twisting and deformation of the reinforcement cages. Furthermore, unreasonable distribution of lifting points can cause localized stress concentrations, increasing the risk of hook or equipment breakage and posing significant safety hazards. Therefore, a new lifting equipment for box girder reinforcement cages is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

The top plate suspension point 2 includes an upper chord ball 201, a longitudinal upper chord bar 202, a transverse upper chord bar 203, a diagonal bar 204, and a connecting plate 205. The upper chord ball 201 is forged from 40CrMnMo alloy steel and nitrided to effectively enhance its hardness and strength. The longitudinal upper chord bar 202, the transverse upper chord bar 203, and the diagonal bar 204 are all connected to the upper chord ball 201. The top plate suspension point 2 uses a square pyramid bolt connection ball joint connection method. The end of the longitudinal upper chord bar 202 is provided with a connecting plate 205. By setting the connecting plate 205, the top plate suspension point 2 can be quickly connected to another top plate suspension point 2 or a shared suspension point 4. The lifting beam lifting point 3 includes an upper chord ball 301 and a diagonal bar 302. The upper chord ball 301 is forged from 40CrMnMo alloy steel and nitrided to effectively enhance its hardness and strength. The diagonal bar 302 is connected to the upper chord ball 301. The lifting beam lifting point 3 uses a square pyramid bolt connection ball node connection method. The common lifting point 4 includes an upper chord ball 401, a longitudinal upper chord 402, a transverse upper chord 403, and a connecting plate 404. The upper chord ball 401 is forged from 40CrMnMo alloy steel and nitrided to effectively enhance its hardness and strength. The longitudinal upper chord 402 and the transverse upper chord 403 are both connected to the upper chord ball 401. The common lifting point 4 uses a square pyramid bolt connection ball joint method. The end of the longitudinal upper chord 402 is provided with a connecting plate 404. Through the connecting plate 404, the common lifting point 4 can be quickly connected to the top plate lifting point 2, the lifting beam lifting point 3, or another common lifting point 4.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5The detection components include strain gauge 5, which is installed at the bottom of the lifting beam 1.

Displacement sensor 6 monitors the sagging, lateral displacement or deformation of the grid structure in real time during the lifting process. Attitude sensor 7 detects the change in tilt angle during the lifting process to ensure the stability of the lifting posture.
[0033] Working principle: The top plate lifting point 2, lifting beam lifting point 3, and common lifting point 4 are all connected by square pyramid bolts to form ball joints. This connection method makes the overall structure have high rigidity and good stability, and can effectively distribute and transfer external loads. The multiple top plate lifting points 2, lifting beam lifting points 3, and common lifting points 4 form a high-strength grid structure. The node spheres are quickly connected by connecting plate 1 205 and connecting plate 2 404, which improves construction efficiency.
[0034] Strain gauge 5 measures the minute deformation of the metal under stress and converts it into an electrical signal to reflect the stress on the lifting equipment. Displacement sensor 6 uses resistance, photoelectric or wire mechanism to detect the relative displacement of the space frame structure during the lifting process. Attitude sensor 7 senses the tilt angle and spatial attitude of the lifting equipment through gyroscope or accelerometer to monitor the balance state during lifting. The three work together to realize safety monitoring and early warning of the entire lifting process.
