Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a national stage application under 35 U.S.C. 371 of International Patent Application Serial No. PCT/CN2016/088791, entitled “Lightweight Multifunctional Supporting Device and Method for Calculating Jacking Force thereof,” filed Jul. 6, 2016, which claims priority from Chinese Patent Application No. CN 201510591657.4, filed Sep. 16, 2015, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.


TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of building construction, and particularly to a lightweight multifunctional supporting device and a method for calculating a jacking force thereof.


BACKGROUND ART

In the construction process of a number of building structures, relatively heavy construction equipment or hoisting crane need to be borne, and such large construction loads often exceed a permissible use load according to the design. Therefore, the buildings need to be reinforced temporarily by some reinforcement measurements. After the construction is completed, the reinforcement measurements will be removed. At present, the reinforcement measurements are generally associated with problems such as complex structure, poor universality, complicated installation and removal processes. The most critical problem would be an insufficient jacking between the reinforcement measurements and the structures. In the construction process, construction workers cannot precisely determine the jacking degree applied to the building structure as required by the design, and can only roughly estimate according to their own experience or convenience. As a result, phenomena of construction gaps or excessive jacking are largely present, which renders the reinforcing effect and the design requirement discrete. If a jacking force is too large or too small, serious adverse impact will occur against the safety of the building, resulting in cracking of the structure or even damage and collapse of the building.

EMBODIMENT OF THE DISCLOSURE
Detailed Description of Embodiments

In order to make the technical problem to be solved by the present disclosure, the technical solution and the beneficial effects clearer and understandable, the present disclosure is further described in detail below in conjunction with the figures and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining the present disclosure, rather than limiting the present disclosure.


As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 9b, the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are shown. A lightweight multifunctional supporting device 100 includes a supporting frame 1, a jacking device 2, a first fixing flange 3 and a supporting base 4. The jacking device 2 includes a screw rod 21, a jacking seat 22 and a locking nut 23.


The screw rod 21 is provided in vertical direction. The bottom of the screw rod 21 is fixedly connected to the supporting frame 1 through the first fixing flange 3, so as to be fixed on the supporting frame 1. The jacking seat 22 is provided thereon with a vertical threaded hole (not shown in the figures) and is provided with a lateral rotation rod 221. The top of the jacking seat 22 is planar. The screw rod 21 is in threaded connection with the threaded hole. The rotation rod 221 is screwed by a rotational means 200 to move the jacking seat 22 upwards, and gradually jack a building 300.


The locking nut 23 is sleeved on the screw rod 21, and is located between the first fixing flange 3 and the jacking seat 22. The locking nut 23 is screwed so that the locking nut is positioned against the first fixing flange 3. In this way the screw rod 21 can be locked, such that the screw rod 21 remains stationary in the whole jacking process.


The supporting frame 1 of the present embodiment includes at least one standard supporting frame 11, one top supporting frame 12, and an adjustment rod 13 provided between the standard supporting frame 11 and the top supporting frame 12. Upper and lower ends of the adjustment rod 13 are both provided with a second fixing flange 14, and the standard supporting frame 11 and the top supporting frame 12 are connected through the second fixing flange 14. The supporting base 4 is sandwiched between the jacking seat 22 and a bottom face of the building 300. When a surface of the building 300 which needs to be jacked is unsmooth, the supporting base 4 can transmit its jacking force uniformly to the building 300.


The standard supporting frame 11 includes at least four standard main upright rods 111 that are distributed at four corners of the standard supporting frame 11, at least two standard lateral rods 112, several standard inclined rods 113, and first connecting elements 114 that are fixed at two ends of the standard main upright rods 111.


Specifically, referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the supporting frame 1 of the present embodiment includes 3 standard supporting frames 11, each standard supporting frame 11 includes four standard main upright rods 111 that are distributed at four corners of the standard supporting frame, four standard lateral rods 112, and eight standard inclined rods 113, wherein both upper and lower ends of two opposing side faces of the standard supporting frames 11 are each provided with one standard lateral rod 112, and four side faces are each provided with two standard inclined rods 113 that are arranged in cross. The standard main upright rods 111 are provided in vertical direction, and the standard lateral rods 112 are provided in horizontal direction. The two ends of the standard lateral rods 112 are each fixedly connected with two adjacent standard main upright rods 111. The standard inclined rod 113 have one end fixed on a top of a first standard main upright rod 111, and have the other end fixed on a bottom of another standard main upright rod 111 that is adjacent to the first standard main upright rod 111. The two standard main upright rods 111 that are adjacent to each other up and down are removably connected through the first connecting element 114.


The top supporting frame 12 is provided on the standard supporting frame 11. The top supporting frame 12 includes top main upright rods 121 that are distributed at four corners of the standard supporting frame 12, at least two top lateral rods 122, a plurality of top inclined rods 123, and second connecting elements 124 that are fixed at two ends of the top main upright rod 121.


Referring to FIG. 3, the top supporting frame 12 of the present embodiment includes four top main upright rods 121 distributed at four corners of the top supporting frame 12, eight top lateral rods 122, and eight top inclined rods 123, wherein both upper and lower ends of two opposing side faces of the top supporting frame 12 are each provided with a top lateral rod 122, and four side faces are each associated with two top inclined rods 123 that are in cross arrangement.


The top main upright rods 121 are provided in vertical direction, and the top lateral rods 122 are provided in horizontal direction. The two ends of the top lateral rods 122 are fixedly connected to the top main upright rods 121. The top inclined rods 123 have one end fixed on a top of a first top main upright rod 121, and have the other end fixed on a bottom of another top main upright rod 121 that is adjacent to said first top main upright rod 121. The second connecting element 124 on the top of the top main upright rod 121 is removably connected to the screw rod 21, and the second connecting element 124 on the bottom of the top main upright rod 121 is removably connected to the first connecting element 114 on the top of the standard main upright rod 121.


All of the first connecting elements 114 and the second connecting elements 124 as mentioned above can be constituted by flanges and associated bolt components thereof. In order to further reduce the weight of the supporting device, various rods of the supporting frame 1 as mentioned above can be manufactured by hollow tubes.


In practical application, the height of the above-mentioned top supporting frame 12 is usually smaller than the height of the standard supporting frame 11. Moreover, when the standard supporting frame 11 on the top of the supporting frame 1 has a relatively short distance from a position of the building 300 that needs to be jacked, the top supporting frame 12 can be omitted. The overall requirement for the height of the supporting frame 1 can be met by replacing the adjustment rod 13 with different lengths and/or using the supporting base 4.


Referring to FIG. 5 to FIG. 7, by using the supporting frame 1, the supporting base 4 and the adjustment rod 13 of the present embodiment in combination, a desired jacking force can be provided to different positions of the building 300, to the building 300 with various load bearings and to the building 300 with different heights.


Steps of using the above lightweight multifunctional supporting device 100 to calculate a magnitude of a jacking force applied by said device to the jacked building 300 are as follows:


A. calculating a jacking force P needed to be applied to a position of the building 300 in need of jacking;


B. calculating a detection torque Tch=kPd by combining a pre-measured bolt torque coefficient k and a screw rod diameter d;


C. firstly screwing the screw rod 21 into the jacking seat 22, and then mounting the screw rod 21 on a top face of the supporting frame 1;


D. placing the lightweight multifunctional supporting device 100 below the position of the building 300 in need of jacking;


E. sheathing the rotational means 200 that is capable of detecting the torque onto the rotation rod 221, such that the jacking seat 22 is continuously moved upwards in the process of being screwed along the screw rod 21;


F. starting to jack up the building 300 when the jacking seat 22 is moved upwards to a certain distance, wherein when a value of the torque detected by the rotational means 200 is consistent with the detection torque Tch calculated above, the jacking force applied by the jacking seat 22 at this position of the building 300 is the jacking force P needed to be applied to said position of said building 300;


G. screwing the locking nut 23 to prevent the screw rod 21 from loosening during the use of the multifunctional supporting device 100.


The above-mentioned bolt torque coefficient k is determined by the bolt itself, and it can be measured by existing experiment methods.


Accordingly, the lightweight multifunctional supporting device of the present embodiment is simple in structure and convenient for installation and removal. The jacking seat 22 can be moved upwards to jack the building 300 simply by screwing the rotation rod 221 on the jacking seat 22. It can be determined that the jacking force of the jacking seat 22 to the building 300 is the jacking force P needed based on the detection torque Tch detected when the rotational means 200 is rotated to a certain position.


Referring to the force analysis diagrams of the building before and after the jacking force is applied as shown in FIG. 8a to FIG. 9b, it can be seen that a precise jacking force can be applied to the building 300 by using the method for calculating the jacking force of the present embodiment. Moreover, based on the building 300 and the weight variation of a load 400 applied thereon, a jacking force matched therewith can be precisely applied, which optimizes the reinforcement effect of the building 300.


The description above is merely the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure and shall not be used to limit the present disclosure. Any amendments, equivalent substitutions, improvements and so on within the spirit and principle of the present disclosure should be covered by the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
