The present disclosure is directed to providing an apparatus and method for continuous stirrups.

In the anchoring area and lap length range where larger diameter steel bars are used, and when there are many parallel steel bars in a row, such as in the beam structure, a certain number of stirrups should be installed to prevent the concrete cover Split and collapse. The function of the stirrup is the shear strength, and it is used to connect the main reinforcement and the concrete in the compression area to work together. In addition, it is used to fix the position of the main reinforcement so that the various reinforcement bars in the beam form the reinforcement skeleton. At the same time, stirrups can limit the development of internal cracks in the concrete, improve the bond strength, and also limit the width of the cracks reaching the surface of the component, thereby improving the bond strength.

Referring to FIG. 15 , the first positioning member 72 and the second positioning member 73 disposed relative to the same bending device 30 are disposed so that after the planar structure 600 is placed on the fixed platform 20a, the first positioning member 72 and the second positioning member 73 are respectively Abut against two opposite sides of the first portion 61 of the planar structure 600 . However, it can be understood that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the first groove 70 and the first positioning member 72 are omitted, and the first portion 61 of the planar structure 600 only passes through the second positioning member 73 to locate.

Referring to FIG. 14 , in some embodiments, the first positioning member 72 includes a base plate 721 , a positioning post 722 , an extension portion 723 and a fixing member 724 . The base plate 721 spans over the first groove 70 and is disposed on the top surface 25 through a fixing member 724 (eg, a screw or a bolt). position The column 722 is disposed above the base plate 721 and has a cylindrical structure. The extension portion 723 is disposed below the substrate 721 and penetrates deep into the first groove 70 , so that the first positioning member 72 can be positioned in the first groove 70 . In some embodiments, the structural features of the second positioning member 73 are the same or similar to the structural features of the first positioning member 72 , so they are not repeated.

13, 15-18, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the method for making continuous stirrups using the continuous stirrup making equipment 1a is described as follows:

As shown in FIG. 13 , the method of manufacturing a continuous stirrup includes providing and fixing a plurality of first positioning members 72 in a first groove 70 of a fixing platform 20 , and fixing a plurality of second positioning members 73 on the fixing platform 20 . in a second groove 71 . In some embodiments, the step of fixing the second positioning member 73 is omitted.

As shown in FIG. 15 , the method of manufacturing the continuous stirrup further includes disposing the planar structure 600 on the fixed platform 20a, so that the first side region 66 protrudes from the front edge 22 of the fixed platform 20a, and the first side region 66 is The second portion 62 abuts against the limiting portion 42 of the dimension positioning member 40 . With the dimension positioning member 40 , each first portion 61 at the intersection of the first side region 66 and the middle region 65 will be positioned below the corresponding bending positioning member 33 . In addition, when the planar structure 600 is disposed on the fixed platform 20a, two opposite sides of each first portion 61 of the planar structure 600 abut against the corresponding first positioning member 72 and the second positioning member 73 respectively.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 15 , the method for making continuous stirrups further includes providing an elongated mold 35 along the transverse axis direction (X-axis direction) and making its top surface 36 abut against the first side region 66 of the planar structure. at least part of it. In some embodiments, before the first side region 66 is bent, the first side region 66 is the base 31 ( FIG. 2 ) of the bending device 30 , the top surface 36 of the elongated mold 35 and the dimensions The supporting portion 41 of the positioning member 40 is jointly supported.

As shown in FIG. 16, the method of making continuous stirrups further includes actuating the elongated mold 35 to push the first side region 66, so that the first side region 66 is bent upward relative to the fixed platform 20a, so as to transform from the planar structure 600 into an intermediate structure 600'. In some embodiments, since the position of the first portion 61 of the planar structure 600 in the transverse axis direction (X-axis direction) is restricted by the first positioning member 72 and the second positioning member 73 , the first side region 66 is limited in length by the first positioning member 72 and the second positioning member 73 . During the pushing process of the strip mold 35, the first portion 61 of the planar structure 600 does not shake or shift. Therefore, after bending, the plurality of first portions 61 are still arranged substantially in parallel along the horizontal axis direction (X-axis direction). After bending the first side region 66 with respect to the middle region 65, the middle structure 600' is temporarily removed from the continuous stirrup manufacturing apparatus 1a.

As shown in FIG. 17 , the method of making the continuous stirrup further includes turning the intermediate structure 600 ′ and placing it on the fixed platform 20a so that the second side region 67 protrudes beyond the leading edge 22 of the fixed platform 20a. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 17 , the intermediate structure 600 ′ turned back and placed on the fixed platform 20 a has the second side region 67 of the base 31 ( FIG. 2 ), the length of the base 31 ( FIG. 2 ) of the bending device 30 The top surface 36 of the strip mold 35 and the supporting portion 41 of the dimension positioning member 40 are jointly supported. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 17 , after the intermediate structure 600 ′ is placed on the fixed platform 20 a , the bent parts 68 of the intermediate structure 600 ′ abut against the plurality of second positioning members 73 and are aligned with the first positioning members 73 . Member 72 separates.

As shown in FIG. 18 , the method of manufacturing the continuous stirrup further includes actuating the elongated mold 35 to push the second side region 67 of the intermediate structure 600 ′, so that the second side region 67 is bent upward relative to the fixed platform 20 a , to form a continuous stirrup 600". In some embodiments, since the position of the first portion 61 of the intermediate structure 600' in the transverse axis direction (X-axis direction) is limited by the second positioning member 73, the intermediate structure 600' When the second side region 67 is pushed by the elongated mold 35, the first part 61 of the intermediate structure 600' does not shake or shift. Therefore, the plurality of first parts 61 after bending are still along the longitudinal axis direction ( Y-axis direction) are aligned approximately parallel. In some embodiments, The method for making the continuous stirrup 600" further includes, after the second side region 67 is bent, removing the continuous stirrup 600" from the continuous stirrup making apparatus 1a.
