Description

  The present invention relates to a cable connection structure and a connection fitting, and more particularly to a cable connection structure and a connection fitting suitable for connecting at least two cables.

  In a suspension structure such as a suspension bridge, a main cable is supported by a main structure such as a main tower or a column member. Then, the main cable and the suspension cable are connected via a connection fitting, and the suspension cable supports the component elements such as the girder member while hanging.

  About the connection metal fitting which connects a main cable and a suspension cable, it is disclosed by patent document 1 and 2, for example. The connecting metal fittings of Patent Documents 1 and 2 are members that are long in the longitudinal direction of the main cable, are attached to the main cable by bolting, and are connected to the suspension cable at the lower portion to suspend the suspension cable.

  With reference to FIG.1 and FIG.2, the conventional coupling metal fitting 10 is demonstrated. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a conventional connecting fitting 10. FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing a conventional connecting metal fitting 10, and is a view in which the connecting metal fitting 10 shown in FIG. 1 is disassembled and each component is viewed from above.

  The connecting metal fitting 10 includes, for example, a pair of fixing members 12A and 12B that are installed to face each other, a bolt 22, a nut 24, a washer 26, a pin 32, and the like. The fixing members 12A and 12B are attached to the main cable 90 by bolting. The connection fitting 10 is connected to the suspension cable 92 via the pin 32 at the connection portion 14 provided on the fixing members 12A and 12B. The fixing members 12A and 12B are, for example, steel members, and the main cable 90 and the suspension cable 92 are, for example, steel wire ropes.

  1 and 2, the fixing members 12A and 12B are opposed to each other so as to break in the vertical direction of the cross section of the main cable 90, and the suspension cable 92 is sandwiched between the fixing members 12A and 12B. The pin 32 is supported. Therefore, when the bolt connection between the fixing members 12A and 12B is released, the pin 32 is also removed, and there is a problem that the suspension cable 92 is dropped from the main cable 90.

  Furthermore, the fixing members 12A and 12B need to be fixed so as not to move with respect to the main cable 90. In the conventional connecting fitting 10, the fixing members 12A and 12B and the main cable 90 are fixed by a frictional force. Therefore, the fixing members 12A and 12B fasten the main cable 90 so that a frictional force is generated.

  At this time, since a predetermined tightening pressure must be applied to the main cable 90, the fixing members 12A and 12B have an elastic design. That is, when the fixing members 12A and 12B are yielded by tightening the bolts, a predetermined tightening pressure cannot be applied. Therefore, the fixing members 12A and 12B are formed thick so that the fixing members 12A and 12B do not yield.

  Further, if the bolt connection is strongly tightened, a high tightening pressure (side pressure) is applied to the contact surface of the main cable 90 from the fixing members 12A and 12B. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the lateral pressure so that the fixing members 12A and 12B do not damage the main cable 90. Therefore, the fixing members 12 </ b> A and 12 </ b> B have to be long in the longitudinal direction of the main cable 90 in contact with the main cable 90. For the above reasons, the conventional connecting fitting 10 has a large capacity and a heavy weight.

  Furthermore, the main cable 90 is in a twisted state before being installed in the structure. Therefore, when suspending a plurality of suspension cables 92 on the main cable 90, in general, in order to make the suspension direction constant, the main cable 90 is untwisted or marked in advance along the longitudinal direction. It was necessary to make the suspension direction constant with reference to the marking. And since the conventional connection metal fitting can be installed by passing through these procedures, there existed a problem that grounding of a connection metal fitting took time.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and the object of the present invention is to allow two cables to be connected simply and easily, and it is difficult to cause damage. It is an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved cable connection structure and coupling fitting that can be securely fixed to a cable.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, according to a certain aspect of the present invention, a second cable different from a first cable arranged horizontally or inclined and a first cable in which a tensile force acts in a vertically downward direction is provided. And a support portion that covers the upper portion of the first cable and is supported by the first cable, and a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the first cable when placed on the first cable. And a connecting fitting that extends downward from both ends of the support portion located at each of the supporting portions and has a cable connecting portion that is connected to the second cable . The connecting fitting is placed on the first cable. when, vertical cross-section relative to the axial direction of the first cable, at the top of at least a first cable and said inverted U-shaped der Rukoto, cable connection structure is provided.

Upper Symbol connecting fitting comprises a supporting portion and the cable connection portion may be formed integrally.
The connection fitting may be rotatable with respect to the first cable.

  In the connection fitting, the support portion is formed on the inner surface facing the first cable so that the vicinity of the center bulges toward the first cable side as compared to the axial end portion of the first cable. It may be supported by a cable.

Moreover, in order to solve the said subject, according to another viewpoint of this invention, the support part which coat | covers the upper part of the 1st cable arrange | positioned horizontally or inclined, and is supported by the 1st cable, When mounted on the first cable, the first cable extends downward from both ends of the support portion positioned perpendicular to the axial direction of the first cable, and a tensile force acts vertically downward.

(First embodiment)
First, the cable connection structure according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the connection fitting 100 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 4 is a side view showing the connection fitting 100 according to this embodiment, and is a view of the connection fitting of FIG. 3 as viewed from the left side. FIG. 5 is a front view showing the connection fitting 100 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing the connection fitting 100 according to the present embodiment, which is a view cut in a direction perpendicular to the length direction (axial direction) of the main cable 90 at the center of the connection fitting 100. FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view showing the connection fitting 100 according to the present embodiment, and is a view cut in the center of the connection fitting 100 in a direction parallel to the length direction of the main cable 90 at the time of attachment.

  The cable connection structure according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a main cable 90 (first cable), a suspension cable 92 (second cable), a connecting fitting 100, and the like.

  The main cable 90 and the suspension cable 92 are, for example, steel wire ropes, and are ropes in which a plurality of steel wires are twisted. The main cable 90 is supported by a main structure such as a main tower or a pillar in a suspension structure such as a suspension bridge, and is disposed horizontally or inclined. On the surface of the main cable 90, spiral irregularities are usually formed by twisting steel wires. The suspension cable 92 is connected to the main cable 90 via the coupling fitting 100 of the present embodiment, and suspends components such as a girder member of the suspension structure. A tensile force acts on the suspension cable 92 in the vertically downward direction.

  The connection fitting 100 of the present embodiment includes, for example, a support portion 114 that contacts the main cable 90 so as to cover the main cable 90, is supported by the main cable 90, a cable connection portion 118 that is connected to the suspension cable 92, a pin 142, and a pin It consists of a stop member 144 and the like. The connection metal fitting 100 is a steel member, for example. The connecting metal fitting 100 may be surface-treated. Examples of the surface treatment include electroplating, electroless plating, plating by hot dip galvanizing, thermal spraying, and the like. By surface-treating the coupling metal 100, the frictional resistance between the main cable 90 and the coupling metal 100 increases.

  The support part 114 and the cable connection part 118 of the connection metal fitting 100 are integrally formed, for example. The support part 114 and the cable connection part 118 may be formed into a shape as shown in FIGS. 3 to 7 by processing a flat plate member, or may be formed by a processing method such as casting or cutting. . The connection fitting 100 is connected to the suspension cable 92 via the pin 142 at the cable connection portion 118.

  The support portion 114 has, for example, a half-cylinder shape, and contacts the main cable 90 on the inner side of the half-cylinder when attached. Note that the shape of the support portion 114 is not limited to a semi-cylindrical shape, and the outer side is not a curved surface, and may be a shape obtained by cutting a polygonal column parallel to the axial direction. When the support portion 114 is placed on the main cable 90, the support portion 114 is connected to the cable connecting portion 118 at both ends positioned in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the main cable 90. The support portion 114 supports the load from the suspension cable 92 transmitted through the cable connecting portion 118 with the main cable 90.

  The cable connecting portion 118 has a planar shape, for example. When the connection fitting 100 is placed on the main cable 90, the cable connection portion 118 extends downward from both ends of the support portion 114 that is positioned perpendicular to the axial direction of the main cable 90. The cable connecting portion 118 is formed with a pin hole 119 penetrating near the center. The cable connecting portion 118 supports the load from the suspension cable 92 applied to the pin 142 and transmits the load to the upper support portion 114. Two cable connecting portions 118 are provided and arranged to face each other.

  The pin 142 and the pinning member 144 are combined with each other to support the suspension cable 92. The pin 142 passes through a pin hole 119 formed in the cable connecting portion 118. The end portion of the suspension cable 92 is processed with a toyo-lock end, and the suspension cable 92 is connected to the cable connecting portion 118 by the pin 142 passing through the ring formed by the suspension cable 92 and the pin hole 119. Is done.

  As described above, the cable connection structure of this embodiment includes the main cable 90, the suspension cable 92 on which a vertically downward tensile force is applied, and the connecting metal fitting 100 that connects the main cable 90 and the suspension cable 92. As shown in FIG. 5, when the main cable 90 is disposed horizontally, a tensile force is applied to the connection fitting 100 in the vertically downward direction by the suspension cable 92. Therefore, the connecting metal fitting 100 does not slip on the main cable 90.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8, even when the main cable 90 is inclined, the connecting metal fitting 100 may be mounted on the main cable 90 depending on the inclination angle and the magnitude of the vertical downward tensile force acting on the suspension cable 92. Do not slip on. FIG. 8 is a front view showing the connection fitting 100 according to the present embodiment. That is, the connection fitting 100 tries to slide downward in accordance with the inclination of the main cable 90, but is pulled downward by the suspension cable 92. A downward tensile force acting on the connection fitting 100 generates a frictional force between the connection fitting 100 and the main cable 90. Therefore, the connecting metal fitting 100 does not slip on the main cable 90 depending on the inclination angle or the magnitude of the tensile force. As a result, the cable connection structure having the coupling metal fitting 100 of the present embodiment can be applied to a structure having a suspension structure as in the conventional case.

  Further, the connecting metal fitting 100 used in the cable connection structure of the present embodiment is not bolted, unlike the conventional connecting metal fitting 10 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. 1 and 2 includes fixing members 12A and 12B that face each other so as to be broken in the vertical direction of the main cable 90 and sandwich the suspension cable 92 therebetween. Therefore, when the bolt connection between the fixing members 12A and 12B is released, the suspension cable 92 is also dropped. On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, the connection fitting 100 does not use bolt coupling. The connecting metal fitting 100 has an inverted U-shaped vertical cross section with respect to the axial direction of the main cable 90, and is installed on the main cable 90 so as to straddle the main cable 90. In addition, the connecting metal fitting 100 is configured such that the suspension cable 92 is connected to the lower end portion side of the connecting metal fitting 100 and surrounds the main cable 90. Therefore, in this embodiment, the connecting metal fitting 100 and the suspension cable 92 are not dropped from the main cable 90.

  Further, the connection fitting 100 can rotate around the main cable 90. As a result, the connection fitting 100 can be installed more simply and quickly than in the past. That is, for example, the main cable 90 is in a twisted state before being installed in the structure. Therefore, when suspending a plurality of suspension cables 92 on the main cable 90, in general, in order to make the suspension direction constant, the main cable 90 is untwisted or marked in advance along the longitudinal direction. It was necessary to make the suspension direction constant with reference to the marking. And the conventional connection metal fitting 10 was able to be installed by passing through these procedures.

  On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, since the connecting metal fitting 100 rotates around the main cable 90, the fixing metal fitting 100 can be connected to the main cable 90 regardless of the twist of the main cable 90. Therefore, the connection fitting 100 can be installed more simply and quickly than in the past.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a cable connection structure according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing the connection fitting 200 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 10 is an exploded perspective view showing the connection fitting 200 according to the present embodiment, and is a view of the components seen from above by disassembling the connection fitting 200 of FIG. 9.
FIG. 11 is a side view showing the connection fitting 200 according to the present embodiment, and is a view of the connection fitting of FIG. 9 as viewed from the left side. FIG. 12 is a front view showing the connection fitting 200 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view showing the connection fitting 200 according to the present embodiment, and is a view cut in a direction perpendicular to the length direction (axial direction) of the main cable 90 at the center of the connection fitting 200.

  The cable connection structure according to the second embodiment of the present invention includes a main cable 90, a suspension cable 92, a connection fitting 200, and the like. The connecting metal fitting 200 of the present embodiment includes, for example, a fixing member 210, two fixing members 120, a bolt 132, a nut 134, washers 136 and 138, a pin 142, a pinning member 144, and the like. The fixing members 210 and 120 are attached to the main cable 90 by bolt connection. The fixing members 210 and 120 may be formed into a shape as shown in FIGS. 9 to 13 by processing a flat plate member, or may be formed by a processing method such as casting or shaving. The connection fitting 200 is connected to the suspension cable 92 via a pin 142 at the cable connection portion 218 of the fixing member 210.

  Here, the main cable 90 and the suspension cable 92 are, for example, steel wire ropes, and are ropes in which a plurality of steel wires are twisted. The main cable 90 is supported by a main structure such as a main tower or a pillar in a suspension structure such as a suspension bridge. On the surface of the main cable 90, spiral irregularities are usually formed by twisting steel wires. The suspension cable 92 is connected to the main cable 90 via the coupling fitting 200 of the present embodiment, and suspends components such as a girder member of the suspension structure.

Hereinafter, each component of the connection metal fitting 200 will be described in detail.
The fixing member 210 is a plate-shaped steel member. The fixing member 210 includes, for example, a connection part 212 to which the bolt 132 is connected, a support part 214 that is in contact with the main cable 90 and supported by the main cable 90, and a cable connection part that is connected to the suspension cable 92. 218.

  The connecting portion 212 is, for example, planar, and is formed with a bolt fastening hole 216 penetrating near the center. In the present embodiment, two connection portions 212 are provided at both ends of the end portion of the fixing member 210 so as to be connected to the support portion 214, and a total of four connection portions 212 are provided. The connection part 212 is arranged to face the connection part 122 of the fixing member 120. The connection part 212 transmits the tightening force due to the bolt connection to the support part 214.

  The support portion 214 has, for example, a half-cylinder shape, and contacts the main cable 90 on the inner side of the half-cylinder when attached. The support portion 214 is further divided into a support region 214A and a connection region 214B.

  The support region 214A is connected to the connection portion 212 on both sides. The support region 214A is plastically deformed along the surface of the main cable 90 when the fixing member 210 is tightened by bolting. The support region 214A is configured with a plate thickness that is plastically deformed by tightening the bolt connection. For example, in the example shown in FIGS. 9 to 13, the plate thickness of the support region 214 </ b> A is about 10 mm for the main cable 90 having a diameter of about 40 mm. Note that the present invention is not limited to this size. Since the surface of the main cable 90 has spiral irregularities formed by twisting the steel wire, the support region 214A is plastically deformed in a shape along the irregularities of the main cable 90. As a result, the support region 214 </ b> A enters the recess of the main cable 90, and as a result, the fixing member 210 is fixed to the main cable 90. The shape of the support region 214A before being connected to the main cable 90 is preferably a length that takes into account the elongation of the member due to plastic deformation.

  When the connection region 214 </ b> B is placed on the main cable 90, the connection region 214 </ b> B is connected to the cable connection portion 218 at both ends positioned in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the main cable 90. The connection region 214 </ b> B supports the load from the suspension cable 92 transmitted through the cable connection portion 218 with the main cable 90.

  The cable connection part 218 is planar, for example. The cable connecting portion 218 extends downward from both ends of the support portion 114 positioned in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the main cable 90 when the connecting metal fitting 100 is placed on the main cable 90. The cable connecting portion 218 has a pin hole 119 penetrating near the center. The cable connecting portion 218 supports the load from the suspension cable 92 applied to the pin 142 and transmits the load to the upper support portion 214. Two cable connecting portions 218 are provided and arranged to face each other.

  The fixing member 120 is a plate-shaped steel member. The fixing member 120 can be divided into, for example, a connection part 122 to which the bolt 132 is connected and a support part 124 that contacts the main cable 90.

  The connecting portion 122 is, for example, planar, and is formed with a bolt fastening hole 126 penetrating near the center. In the present embodiment, two connecting portions 122 are provided on both sides of the fixing member 120 so as to be connected to the supporting portion 124. The connection part 122 is disposed to face the connection part 212 of the fixing member 210. The connection part 122 transmits the tightening force by bolt coupling to the support part 124.

  The support part 124 has, for example, a half-cylinder shape, and contacts the main cable 90 on the inner side of the half-cylinder when attached. The support part 124 is connected to the connection part 122 on both sides. The support portion 124 is plastically deformed along the surface of the main cable 90 when the fixing member 120 is tightened by bolt connection, similarly to the support region 214A of the fixing member 210. The support portion 124 is configured with a plate thickness that is plastically deformed by tightening the bolt connection. The support portion 124 is plastically deformed in a shape along the unevenness of the main cable 90. As a result, the support portion 124 enters the concave portion of the main cable 90, and as a result, the fixing member 120 is fixed to the main cable 90.

  The bolt 132, the nut 134, and the washers 136, 138 are combined to bolt the fixing members 210, 120 together. The bolt 132 passes through the bolt fastening holes 216 and 126. In this embodiment, the bolts are coupled at four locations. The fixing members 210 and 120 are plastically deformed by a tightening force by bolt connection.

  The pin 142 and the pinning member 144 are combined with each other to support the suspension cable 92. The pin 142 passes through a pin hole 119 formed in the cable connecting portion 218. The end portion of the suspension cable 92 is processed with a toyo-lock end, and the suspension cable 92 is connected to the cable connecting portion 218 by the pin 142 passing through the ring formed of the suspension cable 92 and the pin hole 119. Is done.

  As described above, the fixing method by plastically deforming the support region 214A and the support portion 124 supports the fixing member 210 with a support force other than the frictional force. Therefore, the member can be made thinner as compared with the case where the main cable 90 is tightened only by the frictional force as in the conventional coupling fitting. For example, in the conventional example shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, since the fixing members 12A and 12B need to be configured so as not to be plastically deformed, for example, the fixing members 12A and 12B of the main cable 90 having a diameter of about 40 mm are used. The plate thickness was about 25 mm. On the other hand, the fixing members 210 and 120 of this embodiment may be about 10 mm, for example. Further, since the tightening pressure can be reduced as compared with the case of fixing only by the frictional force, the fixing members 210 and 120 do not need to be lengthened in the length direction of the main cable 90.

  Further, in the connection fitting 200 used in the cable connection structure of the present embodiment, the connection region 214B and the cable connection portion 218 are integrally formed, and the connection region 214B and the cable connection portion 218 are formed with respect to the axial direction of the main cable 90. The vertical cross-sectional shape has an inverted U shape, and is installed on the main cable 90 so as to straddle the main cable 90.

  On the other hand, the conventional connecting fitting 10 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 includes fixing members 12A and 12B that face each other so as to be broken in the vertical direction of the cross section of the main cable 90 and sandwich the suspension cable 92. Therefore, when the bolt connection between the fixing members 12A and 12B is released, the suspension cable 92 is also dropped. On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, the connecting metal fitting 100 is installed on the main cable 90 so as to straddle the main cable 90 even if the bolt 132 falls off due to damage or the like. In addition, the connecting metal fitting 200 is configured such that the suspension cable 92 is connected to the lower end portion side of the connecting metal fitting 200 and surrounds the main cable 90. Therefore, in this embodiment, the connecting metal fitting 100 and the suspension cable 92 are not dropped from the main cable 90.

(Third embodiment)
Next, a cable connection structure according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described.
FIG. 14 is a front view showing the connection fitting 300 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional view showing the connection fitting 300 according to the present embodiment, and is a view cut in the center of the connection fitting 300 in a direction parallel to the length direction of the main cable 90 at the time of attachment.

  The cable connection structure according to the third embodiment of the present invention includes a main cable 90, a suspension cable 92, a connection fitting 300, and the like. The connection fitting 300 according to this embodiment includes a support portion 317, a cable connection portion 318, a pin 142, a pin fixing member 144, and the like.

  As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the connecting metal fitting 300 has a shape in which both end portions in the axial direction of the main cable 90 of the support portion 317 are warped from the upper part when attached to the main cable 90 (a bowl shape). Have. The support portion 317 is formed on the inner surface facing the main cable 90 so that the vicinity of the center bulges toward the main cable 90 as compared to the end portion in the axial direction (length direction) of the main cable 90 and is supported by the main cable 90. Is done. Further, one end of the cable connecting portion 318 is connected to the support portion 317 and the other end is connected to the suspension cable 92.

  Thereby, when the connection metal fitting 300 is attached to the main cable 90, the angle of the connection metal fitting 300 with respect to the main cable 90 can be freely determined. For example, the main cable 90 is often connected to the structure with a certain gradient. Therefore, in the conventional connecting bracket, there are cases where a plurality of molds corresponding to the gradient are prepared in order to lower the suspension cable 92 vertically. On the other hand, according to this embodiment, it is possible to cope with the gradient of the main cable 90 with a simple configuration as shown in FIG. Therefore, it is not necessary to prepare a plurality of molds corresponding to the gradient, and only one shape needs to be prepared.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, the main cable 90 is bent and deformed due to the bulging shape of the support portion 317 at the time of attachment, so that the connection fitting 300 is fixed to the main cable 90 without slipping due to frictional force. Is done. Furthermore, the conventional connecting metal fitting 10 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 includes fixing members 12A and 12B that face each other so as to be broken in the vertical direction of the cross section of the main cable 90 and sandwich the suspension cable 92. Therefore, when the bolt connection between the fixing members 12A and 12B is released, the suspension cable 92 is also dropped. On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, since the connection fitting 300 has a saddle shape, the suspension cable 92 is not dropped from the connection fitting 300 even when the bolts of the fixing members 210 and 220 are disconnected. Absent.

  The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to such examples. It is obvious that a person having ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention pertains can come up with various changes or modifications within the scope of the technical idea described in the claims. Of course, it is understood that these also belong to the technical scope of the present invention.

  In the above embodiment, the end portion of the suspension cable 92 is processed by the end portion of the Toyo lock method, but the present invention is not limited to such an example. For example, the end portion of the suspension cable 92 may be processed with a socket method or a single lock method. At this time, the shape of the cable connecting portion is a shape corresponding to each end processing, but detailed description thereof is omitted.
