Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bridge engineering technology, specifically to a tie-arch cable force adjustment device. Background Technology

[0002] Tied-arch bridges are structural systems that utilize tie cables to balance the horizontal thrust of the arch ribs. They are widely used due to their aesthetic appeal, large span capacity, and strong adaptability to foundation conditions. The cable force of the tie-arch bridge suspenders is a crucial indicator for evaluating the bridge's operational status. The rationality of the cable force distribution directly affects the structural alignment and the uniformity of internal force distribution. Therefore, the accuracy of suspender cable force measurement is directly related to the smooth implementation of construction control and accurate monitoring of the bridge during operation.

[0003] In existing technologies, the tensioning method for the tie cables of tied arch bridges generally involves using jacks at the anchor points at both ends of the tie cables for tensioning. The tension force of the suspenders is determined by a hydraulic pressure gauge, which typically has an error of ±5%. This relatively large error can lead to uneven distribution of the alignment and internal forces in the tied arch bridge structure, resulting in uneven tension distribution in the suspenders. This reduces the stability of the tied arch bridge structure and poses potential safety risks. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tie rod arch cable force adjustment device to address the aforementioned shortcomings in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a tie-rod arch cable force adjustment device, comprising: a bridge pier, multiple bridge piers with crossbeams installed on them, an arch rib provided above the crossbeams, a number of hangers installed between the arch ribs and the crossbeams, the top of the hangers being installed on the arch ribs, the bottom of the hangers being passed through the crossbeams and then limited by anchors, the bottom of the hangers being tensioned by an oil pump, and a vibration testing instrument for collecting the vibration frequency of the hangers being arranged on the hangers.

[0006] Furthermore, the boom includes a PE sheath and unbonded steel strands, the PE sheath has a slot, and the vibration testing instrument is mounted on the unbonded steel strands.

[0007] Furthermore, a silicone rubber sleeve is fitted on the outside of the slot, and screw holes are opened at both ends of the silicone rubber sleeve. The silicone rubber sleeve is locked to the outside of the lifting rod by bolts passing through the two screw holes.

[0008] Furthermore, the anchor is provided with a plurality of second wire passage holes that match the unbonded steel strands. Each unbonded steel strand passes through the corresponding second wire passage hole, and a second working clamp is sleeved on the unbonded steel strand, which is inserted into the second wire passage hole.

[0009] Furthermore, a groove is provided at the bottom of the crossbeam, and an anchor plate is provided in the groove, with the anchor plate located between the inner wall of the groove and the anchor.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the tie rod arch cable force adjustment device provided by this utility model in the above technical solution are as follows:

[0012] When the suspenders are tensioned by an oil pump, the pressure is monitored by an oil pressure gauge used in conjunction with the oil pump. At the same time, a vibration testing instrument is used to monitor the vibration frequency of the unbonded steel strands. Both monitor the tension of the suspenders together, thereby ensuring that the tension of the suspenders is more uniform, reducing the monitoring error, and thus improving the structural stability of the tied arch bridge.

[0025] Specifically, when the oil pump 6 tensions the suspender 4, the pressure is monitored by an oil pressure gauge used in conjunction with the oil pump 6. At the same time, a vibration testing instrument 9 is used to monitor the vibration frequency of the unbonded steel strand 41. Both monitor the tension of the suspender 4, thereby ensuring that the tension of the suspender 4 is more uniform, reducing the monitoring error, and thus improving the structural stability of the tied arch bridge.

[0026] Furthermore, the boom 4 includes a PE sheath and unbonded steel strand 41. The PE sheath has a slot 42. A vibration testing instrument 9 is installed on the unbonded steel strand 41.

[0029] Furthermore, a groove 21 is provided at the bottom of the crossbeam 2, and an anchor plate 7 is provided in the groove 21. The anchor plate 7 is located between the inner wall of the groove 21 and the anchor 8.
