Multi-faceted Breakthroughs in Steel Reinforcement Technology: Empowering Industry Innovation and Development

In the construction process, a utility model patent titled "Steel Reinforcement Positioning Structure for Construction" offers new solutions to the long - standing challenges of traditional steel reinforcement splicing. This patent optimizes the steel reinforcement splicing process by installing sliding grooves, shaft rods, and sliding frames on the equipment base, along with positioning and eye - protection devices. Construction workers can use the positioning device to clamp and limit the position of steel reinforcements. By driving the sliding frame with a motor, they can adjust the position of the steel reinforcements. During welding, the steel reinforcements can be rotated as a whole to ensure seamless joints, effectively preventing gaps or incomplete fittings at the connection points and significantly enhancing the structural strength of buildings.​

In the steel reinforcement production sector, the "Hot - rolled Steel Reinforcement Production Device" patent has emerged. This device integrates cutting and grinding mechanisms. The cutting mechanism, with the coordinated operation of the workbench, conveying components, cutting components, and positioning components, can effectively support the front and rear ends of hot - rolled steel reinforcements and achieve precise cutting. The grinding mechanism can promptly remove burrs at the cut ends of steel reinforcements. This not only simplifies the cutting process of hot - rolled steel reinforcements but also significantly improves product quality, providing technical support for steel production enterprises to optimize production processes and enhance production efficiency.​

In large - scale engineering construction, the new steel reinforcement axial cold extrusion connection technology is beginning to gain prominence. Take a certain expressway project as an example. In sections with a high bridge - to - tunnel ratio and a large amount of pier column construction, the traditional threaded connection technology has revealed drawbacks such as insufficient thread head length, excessive thread head exposure, uneven connection end faces, and insufficient strength. In contrast, the steel reinforcement axial cold extrusion connection technology uses cold extrusion equipment to tightly connect two steel reinforcements with sleeves, forming gap - free wrapped joints. This technology not only avoids quality issues caused by threading of steel reinforcements and effectively addresses problems such as poor anti - deflection performance due to inconsistent connection end faces but also features simple operation and fast construction speed. One person can operate the equipment, reducing labor and machinery input while improving construction efficiency and saving construction costs. Tests have shown that the steel reinforcement joints using this technology meet all design and regulatory requirements.​

In addition, domestic steel reinforcement products have achieved new breakthroughs in international certifications. The Australian Standard Steel Reinforcement Certification serves as a "ticket" to enter the Australian and some international high - end construction markets. The certification process is complex, with extremely high technical requirements. Thanks to strict quality control systems, relevant domestic production enterprises have successfully passed the certification. This not only demonstrates the advanced capabilities of domestic steel reinforcement production technology but also opens up new prospects for domestic building materials to enter international markets and further enhance their international influence.​

With the continuous implementation of various innovative technologies, the steel reinforcement field is advancing towards high - quality, high - efficiency, and internationalization, laying a solid foundation for the sustainable development of construction and related industries.​
