Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a pad structure for anchoring cable saddles of cable-stayed bridges, and particularly to a stepped anti-slip pad for cable saddles. Background Technology
[0002] When installing anti-slip prestressed steel strands, the anti-slip saddle relies on the anti-slip pads at both ends of the saddle to limit and anchor the anti-slip key, thereby achieving the function of anchoring the prestressed tendons. The anti-slip key is integrally compressed onto the prestressed steel strand, relying on integral compression deformation to grip and anchor the steel strand passing through the inner hole of the anti-slip key. This anchoring method is a relatively convenient permanent anchoring method, with advantages such as simple structure, small size, and reliable anchoring performance. Anti-slip keys are generally pre-compressed and anchored to the prestressed steel strands in the factory according to the dimensions measured at the construction site or the installation dimensions provided by the design engineer, and then transported to the site for installation. There are two ways to connect the anti-slip key to the anti-slip pad of the saddle: one is to have threads on both the anti-slip key and the anti-slip pad, connecting and anchoring them through the threads; the other is to adjust the anchoring distance between the two anti-slip keys using threads or other means, locking the anti-slip pad between the two anti-slip keys to achieve anchoring of the anti-slip key and the prestressed steel strand. These two methods dictate that anti-slip keys require torsional adjustment during installation, either on the anti-slip key itself or on adjustable components such as the adjustable nut mounted on it. Traditional anchor plates have a flat end face; when tortuously adjusting the anti-slip key or its nut, space is limited because the components to be adjusted are on the same plane, making installation difficult. Furthermore, large components on the same plane may interfere with each other, preventing installation.
[0003] Chinese patent 2021111754765 discloses a stepped anti-slip pad, which includes multiple steps. Its main function is to compensate for the length difference between adjacent strand layers, ensuring that the length of each prestressed tendon duct is the same. This aims to solve the problems of inconsistent anti-slip key spacing at both ends of each steel strand caused by existing anti-slip structures, requiring different customizations and leading to confusion and errors during construction. While this pad's structure allows adjustment components to be on different planes, avoiding interference between components on the same plane, it was not specifically developed to solve this problem. Its structure is not optimal for addressing interference issues with adjustment components. Therefore, a more rationally designed cable saddle anti-slip pad specifically designed to solve the problem of mutual interference caused by adjustment components being on the same plane needs to be developed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a stepped cable saddle anti-slip pad. The pad has a multi-layer stepped structure, which can install the adjustment components on the stepped surfaces at different heights, so that the adjustment components are staggered in space. This can not only prevent the adjustment components from interfering with each other due to their large size on the same plane, but also make adjustment and installation more convenient.
[0005] The technical solution to the above technical problem is: a stepped cable saddle anti-slip pad, including a base and N layers of platforms with decreasing areas from bottom to top on the base. The end faces of the first platform to the (N-1)th platform form the outer peripheral step surface of the (N-1)th platform. The top platform, the outer peripheral step surface and the base outside the platform have mounting holes corresponding to the number of steel strands to be installed, where N is 2 to 20.
[0006] Furthermore, the center lines connecting the mounting holes on the base and the center lines connecting the mounting holes on the outermost step surface of each layer are all regular hexagons.
[0007] Furthermore, the base has a circular cross-sectional shape, and the platform has a regular hexagonal cross-sectional shape.
[0008] Furthermore, the base and the Nth platform have circular cross-sectional shapes, while the remaining platforms have regular hexagonal cross-sectional shapes.
[0009] Furthermore, the outer surfaces of the first to N-1th platform layers have anti-interference arc-shaped grooves corresponding to the positions of the mounting holes.
[0010] Furthermore, the end of the mounting hole is provided with an internal thread.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] 1. The mounting holes for installing steel strands are divided into multiple layers radially from the outside to the inside. The outermost layer of mounting holes is evenly distributed on the base outside the platform. The second layer of mounting holes is evenly distributed on the outer edge of the first layer. The third layer of mounting holes is evenly distributed on the outer edge of the second layer. The mounting holes are arranged in this manner. The innermost layer of mounting holes is opened on the top platform. When anchoring the cable saddle, the adjustment components of adjacent layers can be installed on planes at different heights. That is, the adjustment components of different layers are on different planes, so that the adjustment components are staggered in space. This can prevent the adjustment components from interfering with each other due to their large size when they are on the same plane.
[0013] 2. Compared with the above-mentioned stepped anti-slip pad, the mounting holes of this utility model are divided into multiple layers radially from the outside to the inside. The mounting holes correspond to the steel strands, that is, each layer of mounting holes forms a regular hexagon. When installing the steel strands, the workers can perform installation operations in six directions at the same time, which is convenient for installation and adjustment and can improve the efficiency of installation work.
[0014] 3. Compared with the stepped anti-slip mats mentioned above, the top platform of this utility model has the smallest area with the same number of mounting holes, thus saving more materials.

[0031] Example 1: A stepped cable saddle anti-slip pad (smooth hole type), such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the system includes a base 1 and N platforms 2 arranged on the base with decreasing areas from bottom to top, where N is 3. The cross-sectional shape of the base 1 is circular, and the cross-sectional shape of the platform 2 is regular hexagonal.
