Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of shield machines, and relates to a transportation and assembly system for a tunnel box culvert and a tunnel boring machine comprising the same. Background Art

[0002] During the construction process of super-large diameter tunnels, there are generally two modes according to the height size of the box culvert. The first mode is that the box culvert has a relatively large height size, and a prefabricated middle box culvert is used and assembled synchronously in the shield section, and the steel skeleton is built and the side box culvert is cast later. This construction method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the construction efficiency and construction cost are high. The existing box culvert lifting (such as the crane with the publication number CN108002229B) is suitable for the construction of the prefabricated middle high box culvert in the shield section, and the side box culvert is cast later or laid by the crane. The second mode is that the box culvert has a relatively small height size, and a prefabricated integral box culvert is used to assemble synchronously in the shield section. The existing box culvert lifting (such as the crane with the publication number CN113979320A) can only realize vertical lifting and cannot meet the space requirements for the flipping of the integral high box culvert.

[0003] The existing technologies for lifting, transporting, flipping and assembling prefabricated box culverts are generally divided into two types. The first type is a crane used for arc-shaped low box culverts, which uses four-point vertical lifting, a large left-right lateral movement distance, and staggered with the transport vehicle to lift the box culvert. The crane has a large clearance height and cannot achieve the lifting, flipping and assembly of arc-shaped high box culverts within the narrow space requirements. The second type is a crane used for prefabricated intermediate high box culverts, which uses an electric hoist and a movable pulley to separate and arrange, solving the problem of difficult lifting of high box culverts under ultra-low clearance conditions. However, this crane can only be used for the lifting, flipping and assembly of prefabricated intermediate box culverts, and cannot meet the requirements of unloading, transporting, flipping and assembling arc-shaped high box culverts.
