Device and method suitable for testing fatigue performance of anchor connector
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of testing, and particularly relates to a device and a method suitable for testing fatigue performance of an anchorage connector.
Background
With the development of innovation, the national economy is greatly improved, and the infrastructure also enters the rapid development period. In the foundation construction, the prestressed concrete works have become the main force, and the anchor connectors are required to be widely used in the prestressed concrete works, and the role of the anchor connectors is increasingly prominent. Especially in post-tensioning structures or elements, the anchor connectors are not disengaged in order to maintain the tension of the tendons and to transmit the tension to the concrete interior. Anchorage connectors used in dynamic load construction projects (such as bridge works, high-speed rail, subways, etc.) must be required to have acceptable fatigue performance (standard compliance with GB/T14370-2015 and TB/T3193-2016), as the fatigue performance of the anchorage connector is related to the service life and operational safety of the construction. The fatigue performance test of the anchorage connector in the active service of China is lack of corresponding technical support and technical means, the definition of related standards is not clear, and most of the technologies refer to foreign countries and are limited by people. At present, the fatigue performance test of the anchor connector mainly utilizes a fatigue testing machine to directly connect the anchor connector for testing, and the active test method has the following defects: the universality is poor, the test quality is unstable, a special test platform needs to be built, and the test cost is high. Therefore, it is an urgent need to solve the technical problem to search a device and a method thereof suitable for testing fatigue performance of an anchor connector.
Disclosure of Invention
The present invention is directed to the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art and to a method and apparatus for fatigue testing of an anchor connector.

The object of the invention can be achieved by the following technical measures:
the device suitable for the anchorage connector to carry out fatigue performance test comprises an I-shaped internal framework, anchorages positioned on two outer end faces of the internal framework, an external connection component used for connecting the internal framework and a fatigue tester, and a strain gauge connected with an external monitoring system; the internal framework is an I-shaped structure formed by uniformly supporting and fixing a plurality of same pre-tensioned supporting rods between two fixed supporting plates with the same structure through positioning bolts; the anchor device is composed of an anchor plate with a plurality of conical holes and a clamping piece inserted in the conical holes of the anchor plate, the inner cavity of the clamping piece is a cylindrical hole, the shape of the clamping piece is a cone frustum structure, and the cone frustum taper of the clamping piece is the same as that of the conical holes of the anchor plate (when the anchor device is under the action of external tensile force, the clamping piece with the same taper and the anchor plate are fastened through self-locking); the external connecting component comprises an upper clamping plate, a clamping handle embedded in the center of the upper clamping plate, a limiting sleeve supported between the upper clamping plate and the fixed supporting plate, and a connecting bolt penetrating in an inner cavity of the limiting sleeve and used for connecting the upper clamping plate and the fixed supporting plate (the external connecting component not only realizes firm connection with an internal framework through the connecting bolt and the limiting sleeve, but also ensures synchronous stress and uniform stress of each steel strand in the anchorage device, and meanwhile, the external connecting component is connected with the fatigue testing machine through the clamping handle).
In the invention, a steel strand penetrating hole is formed in the center of the fixed supporting plate, and the inner diameter of the steel strand penetrating hole is smaller than the outer diameter of the anchor plate (so that the anchor plate can be pressed on the outer end surface of the fixed supporting plate, and the pre-tensioning supporting rod supports the outward-conducted supporting force of the fixed supporting plate and the inward tension of the prestressed steel strand on the anchor device to balance to form the prestress of the anchor device); threaded holes with the number and the specification matched with the connecting bolts are uniformly distributed around the steel strand penetrating holes; a plurality of unthreaded holes which are used for installing positioning bolts and are provided with relative sliding gaps are uniformly distributed on the fixed supporting plate between the threaded holes and the steel strand penetrating holes and around the steel strand penetrating holes (the unthreaded holes can realize the free sliding of the relative small gaps between the positioning bolts and the fixed supporting plate in the fatigue test process, so that the pre-tensioned supporting rod is prevented from reversely generating test resistance, and the test tension is ensured to completely act on the anchorage device through the steel strand).
In the invention, threaded blind holes matched with the positioning bolts are formed at both ends of the pre-tensioning support rod (after the threaded blind holes are combined with the positioning bolts, the pre-tensioning support rod and the fixed support plates at both ends are connected into a whole to build an internal framework of the testing device).
The upper clamping plate is provided with a bolt penetrating unthreaded hole matched with the connecting bolt.
In the invention, the end faces of the opposite ends of the upper clamping plate and the fixed supporting plate are respectively provided with an inner sunken groove for positioning the limiting sleeve (the limiting sleeve is positioned in the inner sunken groove, so that the influence of the rotating shearing force during the test can be avoided).
