Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to connecting devices, and more particularly to an electric rebar sleeve connecting device. Background Technology

[0002] In building construction, it is often necessary to connect multiple steel bars to meet the requirements of building height and dimensions. Connecting two adjacent steel bars using steel bar sleeves is a common connection method in building construction.

[0003] Sleeve connections ensure that two reinforcing bars achieve an equal-strength connection at the joint, meaning the joint strength is not lower than the strength of the reinforcing bars themselves, thus preventing it from becoming a weak point in the structure. Reinforcing bars need to transmit tensile, compressive, or bending moments; for example, in critical load-bearing components such as beams, columns, and shear walls, the reinforcing bars must be continuously stressed. Sleeve connections can replace traditional lap splices or welding, offering greater reliability.

[0004] During construction, the connection of reinforcing bars using sleeves is mostly done manually. However, manual operation suffers from high labor intensity, low efficiency, and inconsistent connection quality. Workers must hold the reinforcing bars and align them with the sleeve holes; aligning a set of reinforcing bar sleeves takes approximately two minutes, and the skill level is highly dependent on the worker's experience. Traditional manual operation is prone to fatigue after prolonged work, leading to decreased efficiency, affecting construction progress, and increasing construction costs. With the accelerating pace of industrialization in the construction industry, the requirements for the efficiency and quality of reinforcing bar connections are constantly increasing, urgently necessitating an electric device to replace manual operation.

[0019] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0020] This embodiment provides an electric rebar sleeve connection device, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, the device includes a metal protective cover 4 and a continuously variable speed motor 1 housed within the metal protective cover 4. The metal protective cover 4 covers the critical parts of the equipment, preventing damage to these parts and avoiding worker contact with them, thus improving safety. The continuously variable speed motor 1 has a power of 0.75KW and an adjustable speed range of 40-200r / m. The continuously variable speed motor 1 transmits torque through a gearbox. It also includes a tightening mechanism connected to the continuously variable speed motor 1. The continuously variable speed motor 1 drives the tightening mechanism to rotate forward or backward. The tightening mechanism is used to clamp the reinforcing bar. After clamping the reinforcing bar, the tightening mechanism rotates, screwing the reinforcing bar into the reinforcing bar sleeve 16.

[0021] The output shaft of the continuously variable speed motor 1 is fixedly connected to the universal joint coupling 2. The continuously variable speed motor 1 drives the universal joint coupling 2 to rotate, and the universal joint coupling 2 drives the adaptive rebar wrench 5 to rotate via the robotic arm 3. The continuously variable speed motor 1 is equipped with a forward rotation button 6 and a reverse rotation button 7. The forward rotation button 6 controls the continuously variable speed motor 1 to rotate forward, thereby driving the adaptive rebar wrench 5 to rotate forward; the reverse rotation button 7 controls the continuously variable speed motor 1 to rotate in reverse, thereby driving the adaptive rebar wrench 5 to rotate in reverse.

[0022] The stepless speed-regulating motor 1 is also equipped with a three-phase emergency stop button 8. In an emergency, the three-phase emergency stop button 8 can cut off the power supply to the stepless speed-regulating motor 1, and the equipment will stop working. The stepless speed-regulating motor 1 is also equipped with a power switch 11 and a power cord connector 12. The power cord connector 12 is used to connect to an external power source, and the power switch 11 is used to control the start and stop of the stepless speed-regulating motor 1.

[0023] Two handles 9 are fixedly provided on the metal protective cover 4, and several wheels 10 are provided at the bottom for rotation. By pulling the metal protective cover 4 through the handles 9, the wheels 10 are driven, making it easy to move the metal protective cover 4. The metal protective cover 4 is also provided with a heat dissipation duct 13, which is used to dissipate heat for the stepless speed regulating motor 1.

[0024] The screwing mechanism includes a universal joint coupling 2, a robotic arm 3, and an adaptive rebar wrench 5. One end of the robotic arm 3 is connected to the universal joint coupling 2, and the other end is connected to the adaptive rebar wrench 5. The arm span of the robotic arm 3 is no more than 0.5m. The adaptive rebar wrench 5 is used to clamp the rebar and can be adapted to rebar sleeves 16 with a diameter of no more than 40mm.

[0025] The equipment features a modular design, allowing for quick replacement of faulty components.

[0026] When using, such as Figure 5 As shown, first screw the first reinforcing bar 14 and the second reinforcing bar 15 into the reinforcing bar sleeve 16 from both ends by 2-3 threads, then fix the other end of the second reinforcing bar 15 with an external wrench 17. Figure 6 As shown, the outer end of the first rebar 14 is clamped using the adaptive rebar wrench 5. Depending on the direction of the internal threads of the rebar sleeve 16, the forward rotation button 6 or the reverse rotation button 7 is pressed to start the stepless speed-regulating motor 1. The stepless speed-regulating motor 1 drives the universal joint coupling 2 to rotate. The universal joint coupling 2, through the robotic arm 3, drives the adaptive rebar wrench 5 to rotate, causing the first rebar 14 to rotate and screw it into the rebar sleeve 16. Practical verification has shown that the time to connect a single rebar can be shortened to 30 seconds, increasing efficiency by 500%.

[0027] like Figure 7 As shown, after the first reinforcing bar 14 and the reinforcing bar sleeve 16 are tightly connected, there is no relative rotation between them. When the first reinforcing bar 14 rotates, it drives the reinforcing bar sleeve 16 to rotate. Since the end of the second reinforcing bar 15 is fixed by the external wrench 17 and cannot rotate, the rotating reinforcing bar sleeve 16 fits the second reinforcing bar 15 into it, thus completing the connection of the second reinforcing bar 15. After the two reinforcing bars are connected, release the forward rotation button 6 or the reverse rotation button 7.

[0028] This equipment replaces manual operation with motor drive, significantly improving the connection efficiency of rebar and sleeve and ensuring connection quality; a metal protective cover 4 covers key parts of the equipment, improving its safety; the modular design facilitates maintenance and component replacement; the telescopic robotic arm and adjustable adaptive rebar wrench are suitable for connecting common specifications of rebar and sleeve, improving the equipment's adaptability; the equipment is simple to operate, easy to implement, and low in cost, which helps control costs.

[0029] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
