Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a deformable anchor cable. The anchor cable includes an outer sleeve, a shrinkage pipe, an inner sleeve, a steel strand, an anchor and a tray. When the anchor cable is in use, a hole is drilled first, then the anchor cable is mounted in the drilled hole, and finally a prestress is applied to the steel strand of the anchor cable.

Claims (11)

1 . A deformable anchor cable, wherein the anchor cable comprises an outer sleeve, a shrinkage pipe, an inner sleeve, a steel strand, an anchor, a tray and a nut;

wherein the outer sleeve is of steel tube, which contains the inner sleeve and the shrinkage pipe, the outer sleeve has a thread for fitting with the nut at an outer end,

wherein the shrinkage pipe is of steel tube, which is fixed to an inner end of the outer sleeve close to depths of a drilled hole, the shrinkage pipe comprises a necked section and an equal-diameter section, the outer diameter of the necked section remains unchanged, the inner diameter of the necked section gradually shrinks, and the outer diameter and inner diameter of the equal-diameter section remain unchanged;

wherein the inner sleeve is of steel tube, the outer diameter of the inner sleeve is matched with the inner diameter of the outer sleeve and the steel strand is able to passes through the inner sleeve, the anchor is in contact with the outer end of the inner sleeve, enabling the anchor to squeeze the inner sleeve after the anchor cable is stressed,

wherein the steel strand is fixed in depths of an anchor hole by means of an anchoring agent at one end, and is fixed to the outer end of the anchor hole by the anchor at the other end,

wherein the anchor is in the outer sleeve and is in contact with the inner sleeve, the anchor fixes the outer end of the steel strand and squeezes the inner sleeve under a tensile force of the steel strand,

wherein the tray sleeves an exposed part of the outer sleeve, enabling an end of the tray to abut against the nut;

wherein the nut fits with the thread at the outer end of the outer sleeve.

2 . The deformable anchor cable according to claim 1 , wherein a necked lead angle section is arranged on the periphery of the inner end of the inner sleeve, and the necked lead angle section makes contact with the necked section of the shrinkage pipe.

3 . The deformable anchor cable according to claim 1 , wherein a rubber plug having a thin section and a thick section is provided on the inner end of the outer sleeve close to the depths of the drilled hole, a small hole is provided in the middle of the rubber plug for the steel strand to pass through, the thin section is inserted into the shrinkage pipe or the outer sleeve, and the outer diameter of the thick section is equal to the outer diameter of the outer sleeve.

4 . The deformable anchor cable according to claim 3 , wherein the thick section of the rubber plug has an adjustable thickness.
