Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of precast component production technology for tunnel engineering, specifically to a method and system for precasting large-diameter tunnel segments using an independent kiln with continuous water conveyance. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of infrastructure construction such as urban rail transit, undersea tunnels, and underground integrated pipe corridors, the demand for large-diameter tunnel segments, as the core component of tunnel support, is increasing day by day. Large-diameter tunnel segments typically refer to precast concrete segments with a diameter of ≥3 meters, with a single segment weighing 30-80 tons. They are characterized by large size, heavy weight, high strength requirements (C60-C80), high impermeability grade (P12-P18), and strict dimensional accuracy requirements (roundness error ≤3mm). Their production quality is directly related to the safety, waterproofing, and service life of tunnel projects.

[0003] Currently, the prefabrication of large-diameter tunnel segments mainly adopts either a fixed mold platform + centralized curing kiln mode or a simple assembly line + independent kiln mode. However, the existing technologies have the following prominent problems: Poor mold adaptability and insufficient versatility: Existing segment molds are mostly designed with a fixed diameter. Adjustable molds for large-diameter segments can only achieve small-scale diameter adjustments, and the mold rigidity is insufficient after adjustment, making them prone to deformation during casting and causing the segment dimensional accuracy to exceed the standard. For example, the adjustable segment mold disclosed in patent CN202420219387 can only adjust the width dimension, which cannot meet the diameter adjustment requirements of large-diameter segments; although the modular mold in patent CN202420221383 can adjust the mold size, it is difficult to guarantee the rigidity and sealing performance of the splice when dealing with large-diameter segments of 3 meters or more, which easily leads to grout leakage and deformation problems.

[0004] The conveyor system suffers from insufficient load-bearing capacity and a high risk of damage during transport: Large-diameter segment molds are heavy (≥50 tons), and existing production lines mostly use ordinary roller conveyors or mother-daughter carts for transport. For example, patent CN219788786U uses mother-daughter carts to transport molds into the kiln, but the load-bearing stability of the mother-daughter carts is limited, with a positioning accuracy of only ±5mm. Moreover, vibrations are easily generated during transport, leading to micro-cracks inside the concrete. At the same time, the mother-daughter cart transport efficiency is low, with a single mold taking ≥10 minutes to enter the kiln, which restricts the turnover efficiency of the production line. In addition, the roller material and structural design of existing roller conveyor systems are unable to withstand heavy loads, and long-term use is prone to problems such as roller bending and wear, affecting the stability of the conveyor.

[0005] Inappropriate maintenance processes lead to significant hidden quality risks in tunnel segments: Large-diameter tunnel segments have a large volume, resulting in concentrated release of heat from concrete hydration, and the temperature difference between the inside and outside can easily exceed 30°C, causing temperature stress cracks in the tunnel segments. The existing curing technologies have the following defects: (1) The curing parameters are mostly preset fixed curves. For example, patent CN119635793B uses automated pouring curing, but the curing parameters are based on experience and do not take into account the uneven distribution of hydration heat of large-diameter segments, resulting in asynchronous internal and external curing; (2) The temperature and humidity uniformity of the curing kiln is poor. The temperature and humidity difference between different locations in the centralized curing kiln can reach more than 5°C. For example, the intelligent temperature control system of patent CN108818907A can only control the regional temperature and cannot achieve precise temperature and humidity control between the surface and the interior of the segments; (3) The static stopping time is not set reasonably. Existing technologies mostly use a fixed static stopping time of 1-2 hours, such as patent CN202311474160. The optimal static stopping time is not dynamically calculated in combination with parameters such as concrete mix ratio and cement characteristics, resulting in insufficient early strength development of concrete or excessively long curing cycle.

[0006] High energy consumption and poor energy efficiency: Current large-diameter tunnel segment maintenance mostly uses steam heating or electric heating, which results in high energy consumption, with energy consumption per segment reaching 120-150 kWh / m. 3 Although some patents, such as CN202311474160, have adopted waste heat recovery technology, they can only recover waste heat from a single kiln and have not achieved synergistic utilization of waste heat across kilns. At the same time, the insulation performance of centralized curing kilns is poor, and the heat loss rate can reach 20-30%, which further increases energy consumption.

[0007] Low automation and low production efficiency: In the current production process of large-diameter tunnel segments, processes such as mold debugging, steel cage installation, finishing, and demolding still rely heavily on manual operation. For example, the automated pouring and curing method of patent CN119635793B only automates pouring and finishing. Mold adjustment and demolding still require manual assistance, resulting in low production efficiency. The turnaround time of a single mold is ≥24 hours, and the annual production capacity is less than 3,000 rings. At the same time, manual operation is prone to human error, resulting in a tunnel segment qualification rate of only 95-98% and high rework costs.

[0008] Low efficiency and poor traceability in quality inspection: Existing large-diameter pipe segment size inspection and ultrasonic flaw detection are mostly offline inspections, resulting in low inspection efficiency (1 segment / hour). Furthermore, the inspection data is not linked to production process data, making it impossible to achieve full-process quality traceability. For example, the steam curing kiln in patent CN109676774A does not integrate an online inspection device, so pipe segment quality problems can only be discovered after the segments leave the kiln, affecting production efficiency.

[0009] To address the shortcomings of the existing technologies, this invention proposes a prefabrication method and system for large-diameter tube segments using an independent kiln with continuous flow transmission. Through technological innovations such as mold adaptive adjustment, heavy-duty continuous flow transmission, dynamic curing driven by hydration heat, and intelligent collaborative control, this invention solves the problems of poor mold versatility, large transfer damage, uneven curing, high energy consumption, and low automation in the existing technologies, thereby achieving high-precision, high-efficiency, and low-energy production of large-diameter tube segments.

S4. Pre-curing and surface treatment: After pouring, pre-curing is carried out for 4-6 hours at a normal temperature of 20-25℃ and suitable humidity. When the initial setting strength of the concrete reaches 1.2-2.5MPa, the surface is finished by an automatic troweling machine and covered with a breathable and moisturizing membrane. S5. Roller conveyor system: After pre-curing, the heavy-duty roller conveyor system is started to smoothly convey the mold carrying the tube segments to the inlet of the independent modular curing kiln. The mold is precisely positioned to the center of the kiln body by laser ranging and hydraulic jacking positioning device. S6. Hydration heat-driven dynamic curing: Close the kiln body sealing door and start the multi-dimensional sensor array to monitor data in real time and perform four-stage curing. S7. Demolding and Finished Product Inspection: Demolding is performed first, followed by ultrasonic flaw detection, dimensional accuracy inspection, and impermeability test to inspect the finished product. Qualified pipes undergo subsequent curing, while unqualified products are automatically diverted to the rework station. S8. Mold Cycle: After passing inspection, the mold is cleaned, rust removed, and re-sprayed with release agent. It is then conveyed to the casting station via the return roller conveyor to enter the next production cycle.

[0012] Preferably, the specific implementation method of step S6, hydration heat-driven dynamic curing, is as follows: After closing the kiln's sealing door, the multi-dimensional sensor array is activated. This involves embedding temperature sensors inside the tunnel segments, surface temperature sensors, kiln temperature and humidity sensors, and concrete strength sensors. Based on real-time monitoring data from the multi-dimensional sensor array, a four-stage curing process is executed, as follows: S61. Static curing stage: Maintain a temperature of 20-25℃ and humidity of ≥90%. Based on the tricalcium aluminate content and slump parameters of the concrete, calculate the optimal static curing time of 1.2-2.0h using a mathematical model. S62. Heating stage: Increase the temperature to 45-55℃ at a rate of 10-15℃ / h, monitor the temperature difference inside and outside the tube segment in real time, and when the temperature difference is ≥20℃, reduce the heating rate to 5-8℃ / h and adjust the airflow circulation direction in the kiln simultaneously to ensure that the temperature difference is ≤25℃. S63. Constant Temperature Stage: Maintain temperature at 45-55℃ and humidity at ≥90%. Dynamically adjust the constant temperature time to 8-12 hours based on real-time concrete strength data. Supplement heat energy through a waste heat recovery device, achieving an energy saving rate of ≥30%. S64. Cooling stage: Cool down at a rate of 8-12℃ / h until the temperature difference with the environment is ≤10℃, and simultaneously increase the humidity inside the kiln to above 95% to prevent the surface of the tube segments from losing water and cracking.

The slump of the concrete. For the heating rate, For constant temperature, the regression coefficients are a=0.08-0.12, b=0.005-0.008, c=-0.05-0.03, and d=0.02-0.04.

[0014] Preferably, the implementation methods for step S7, demolding, and finished product inspection are as follows: After curing is completed, the mold is removed from the curing kiln through the roller conveyor system, and the automatic demolding device is started. Hydraulic pushing and vacuum adsorption are used to demold the mold in combination to avoid damage to the tube segments. After demolding, the finished product is inspected by ultrasonic flaw detection, dimensional accuracy detection and impermeability test. Qualified segments are transferred to the water immersion curing area for 7-14 days of subsequent curing, while unqualified products are automatically diverted to the rework station.

It also features cross-kiln waste heat recovery for energy saving, modular splicing to adapt to production capacity, and ensures segment strength and impermeability. The intelligent collaborative control system uses PLC controllers and cloud platforms to collect data from multiple sensors, control each system in real time, dynamically adjust and maintain, transmit parameters, and perform remote monitoring. The auxiliary production system employs intelligent hoisting, concrete placement and vibration, surface finishing and demolding, finished product inspection and waste recycling equipment to achieve precise installation of steel cages, dense concrete pouring, and non-destructive demolding of tunnel segments.

[0017] Preferably, the heavy-duty continuous conveyor system includes a main conveyor roller conveyor, a return roller conveyor, a positioning calibration unit, and a drive unit; Both the main conveyor rollers and the return rollers adopt a modular design, with the rollers made of 40CrNiMo alloy, a spacing of 500-600mm, and a polyurethane anti-slip coating on the surface. The positioning and calibration unit includes a laser rangefinder, a hydraulic jacking device, and a pressure sensor to achieve precise positioning and anti-displacement fixation of the mold.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: The adjustable large-diameter mold system of the present invention can achieve precise adjustment of pipe segments with a diameter of 3-12 meters, with small roundness error, and solves the problems of fixed diameter and poor versatility of existing molds. Through the arc-shaped template group + reinforcing rib design and hydraulic locking device, the rigidity of the mold after adjustment is ensured, deformation is avoided during casting, and the dimensional accuracy of the pipe segments is significantly improved.

[0022] The heavy-duty continuous conveying system of this invention adopts high-strength alloy rollers and frequency conversion drive technology. The single roller bearing has a load capacity of ≥8 tons, which can meet the stable conveying of 80-ton large-diameter segment molds. The roller conveyor direct kiln entry design eliminates the traditional mother-daughter car transfer, with high positioning accuracy and a transfer time of less than 3 minutes, which improves efficiency compared with existing technologies. At the same time, it avoids vibration damage during the transfer process and reduces the segment transfer damage rate.

[0023] The hydration heat-driven dynamic curing technology of this invention monitors the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the pipe segment and the concrete strength in real time through a multi-dimensional sensor array. Based on a mathematical model, the curing parameters are dynamically adjusted to control the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the pipe segment to ≤25℃, thereby reducing the cracking rate. The pipe segment strength meets the standard rate and the impermeability grade reaches P15 or above, meeting the high performance requirements of large-diameter pipe segments.

[0024] The independent modular curing kiln system of this invention adopts air source heat pump heating and cross-kiln waste heat recovery technology, which has high waste heat recovery efficiency and reduces energy consumption per unit segment; at the same time, the waste recycling device realizes the recycling of concrete waste, reducing resource waste and environmental pollution.

[0025] This invention employs intelligent collaborative control throughout the entire process, automating operations such as mold debugging, rebar cage installation, pouring and vibration, curing, demolding, and testing, thereby reducing the turnaround time of a single mold; a single production line can produce ≥5000 rings of large-diameter pipe segments annually, while also reducing labor requirements, labor intensity, and human error.

[0026] The intelligent collaborative control system of this invention establishes a data traceability system for the entire process of production, maintenance, and testing. Each segment generates a unique "identity file" that records key data such as concrete mix proportions, maintenance parameters, and test results. This enables full lifecycle traceability from production to installation, effectively mitigating engineering quality risks.

[0027] This invention solves the core technical problems in the existing prefabrication production of large-diameter tunnel segments through technological innovations in molds, conveying, maintenance, and control. It achieves high-precision, high-efficiency, low-energy consumption, and green production of large-diameter tunnel segments, with significant technical advantages and broad application prospects. It can be widely used in infrastructure construction projects such as shield tunnels, caisson projects, and underground integrated pipe corridors. Attached Figure Description

[0028] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the method flow of the present invention; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the system architecture of the present invention; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the system connection of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] like Figure 1-3As shown, a method for prefabrication of large-diameter segment tubes in an independent kiln with continuous flow includes the following steps: S1. Mold self-adaptive adjustment: The large-diameter segment mold is moved to the mold cleaning station. According to the target segment diameter, the initial state of the large-diameter segment mold is the minimum diameter (3 meters). According to the target segment diameter in the production plan (e.g., 8 meters), the intelligent control system sends adjustment instructions to the hydraulic adjustment mechanism. The screw drive unit drives 3-6 arc-shaped templates to expand outward synchronously. The arc-shaped templates are made of 16Mn alloy steel plates with a thickness of 20mm and H-beam reinforcing ribs welded on the outside to ensure that the templates do not deform during the adjustment process. The three sets of laser ranging sensors of the laser positioning module are respectively arranged at the front end, middle end and rear end of the mold to measure the radius and roundness of the arc template in real time, and the measurement data is fed back to the PLC controller in real time. When the laser positioning system detects a roundness error exceeding 2mm, the controller issues a fine-tuning command, which controls the hydraulic drive unit of a single arc-shaped template to achieve precise correction of the roundness error. After adjustment, the hydraulic locking unit is activated, hydraulically tightening the locking bolts at the joint of the arc-shaped template, with a locking force of 50MPa, to ensure the rigidity and sealing of the mold joint; Finally, polytetrafluoroethylene nano-release agent is uniformly sprayed using an automatic spraying device, with the spraying thickness controlled at 30-50μm. High-pressure airless spraying technology is used to ensure that the release agent adhesion reaches level 2 or above, reducing the bonding force between concrete and mold, and reducing the bubble rate on the surface of the pipe segment to below 1%.

[0031] S3. Precise pouring and vibration of concrete: The intelligent hoisting equipment uses a gantry crane with a rated lifting capacity of 50 tons, and is equipped with a laser positioning device and a gravity sensor to monitor the position of the steel cage in real time. Positioning holes are reserved during the prefabrication of the steel cage to precisely match the positioning pins at the bottom of the mold. During the hoisting process, gravity sensors monitor the hoisting force in real time to prevent deformation of the steel cage. Embedded parts include waterproof sealing grooves, grouting hole sleeves, and hoisting hole embedded parts, which are fixed by electromagnetic adsorption positioning devices with an electromagnetic adsorption force ≥5kN to ensure that the embedded parts do not shift during the pouring process. After installation, visual inspection is performed using an industrial camera to confirm that the positional deviation of the steel cage is ≤±10mm and the positional deviation of the embedded parts is ≤±5mm. Once the inspection is passed, the process proceeds to the next step.

[0032] S3. Precise pouring and vibration of concrete: The concrete used is C70 high-performance concrete with a water-cement ratio of 0.32, 20% fly ash and 15% mineral powder added, slump controlled at 80mm, and initial setting time of 7 hours to ensure the workability and strength development of the concrete. The high and low hopper linkage material distribution system includes a high-level storage hopper (5m³). 3 ) and low-level feeding hopper (1.5m³) 3 The high-level hopper transports concrete to the low-level placing hopper via a screw conveyor. The low-level placing hopper moves along the length of the mold to place the concrete at a speed of 0.5 m / s. 3 / min; A layered pouring method is adopted, with each layer being 250mm thick. The pouring sequence is continuous from one end of the mold to the other to avoid construction joints. The compaction process employs a combination of high-frequency vibration and ultrasonic-assisted compaction technology. The high-frequency vibration device is installed on the outside of the mold, with a vibration frequency of 60Hz and a vibration acceleration of 12g, ensuring the compaction of concrete aggregate. The ultrasonic-assisted compaction device is installed below the placing hopper, with a frequency of 30kHz and a power of 600W, effectively eliminating air bubbles inside the concrete. After each layer is poured, the vibration time is controlled at 45 seconds. The concrete density sensor monitors the compaction in real time. When the compaction reaches 99%, the vibration is automatically stopped to avoid over-vibration that could cause aggregate segregation.

[0033] S4. Pre-curing and surface treatment: After the casting is completed, the mold remains stationary and enters the pre-curing area. The ambient temperature in the pre-curing area is controlled at 22℃ and the relative humidity is 88%. The humidity is kept stable by steam spraying. The pre-curing time is 4-6 hours, depending on the initial setting strength of the concrete. When the concrete strength reaches 1.8MPa (detected by the pre-embedded sensor), the automatic finishing machine is started. The automatic smearing machine adopts a double smearing disc structure. The smearing disc is made of polyurethane and rotates at 40 r / min. The smearing disc can be adaptively adjusted along the arc surface of the tube sheet, and the smearing flatness error is ≤2 mm / m. After applying the face cream, immediately cover with a breathable and moisturizing film. The breathability of the moisturizing film should be controlled at 50g / (m²). 2 • 24h) This ensures that the concrete has the necessary moisture for hydration and also removes the carbon dioxide produced during hydration, thus preventing surface sanding.

[0034] S5, Roller conveyor system: The heavy-duty roller conveyor adopts a modular design. Each section of the roller conveyor is 3 meters long and consists of 6 roller shafts. The roller shafts are made of 40CrNiMo alloy, which has been quenched and tempered to achieve a hardness of HRC35-40. The diameter is 120mm, the roller shaft spacing is 550mm, and the single roller bearing has a load capacity of 8 tons, which meets the load-bearing requirements of an 80-ton mold. The roller surface is coated with a 5mm thick polyurethane anti-slip coating with a friction coefficient ≥0.8 to prevent slippage during mold conveying. The drive unit uses a variable frequency motor (15kW) + chain drive, with a transmission efficiency of 96%. The transmission speed is infinitely adjustable via frequency conversion control, ranging from 0.5-1m / min. Soft start is used for start-stop, with an acceleration ≤0.1m / s². 2 To avoid impact loads; When the mold is transferred to the independent kiln inlet, the positioning calibration unit is activated. The laser rangefinder measures the deviation between the mold and the center of the kiln body. The hydraulic jacking device (thrust ≥10kN) accurately pushes the mold to the center of the kiln body with a positioning accuracy of ±0.5mm. After positioning is completed, the kiln body sealing door automatically closes.

[0035] S6. Hydration heat-driven dynamic curing: Sensor arrangement: Three PT100 temperature sensors are pre-embedded inside the tube segment (located at the center of the tube segment, at 1 / 2 thickness, and 50mm inside the surface, respectively), two temperature sensors are arranged on the surface of the tube segment, and four temperature and humidity sensors are arranged inside the kiln (top, bottom, left and right sides). The concrete strength sensor adopts a fiber optic grating sensor and is pre-embedded in the key stress parts of the tube segment. S61. Static Stoppage Stage: After closing the kiln's sealed door, the system first enters the static stoppage stage. The intelligent control system, based on the tricalcium aluminate content of the cement, the concrete slump, the preset heating rate, and the constant temperature, uses a multiple linear regression model... Calculate the optimal resting time, temperature maintenance during the resting phase, and humidity; Among them, the multiple linear regression model: ; in, For optimal stillness time, This refers to the tricalcium aluminate content in cement. The slump of the concrete. For the heating rate, For constant temperature, the regression coefficients are a = 0.08 - 0.12, b = 0.005 - 0.008, c = -0.05 - 0.03, and d = 0.02 - 0.04. S62. Heating Phase: After the static shutdown ends, heating begins with an initial heating rate of 12℃ / h. The temperature difference between the inside and outside of the tube segment is monitored in real time (the difference between the internal center sensor and the surface sensor). When the temperature difference reaches 20℃, the control system automatically reduces the heating rate to 6℃ / h and adjusts the airflow circulation direction from "top air supply" to "side air supply" to accelerate heat dissipation from the tube segment surface and ensure that the temperature difference does not exceed 25℃. During the heating process, heat energy is provided by a heat pump heating device with a COP value of 3.8, resulting in significant energy savings. S63. Constant Temperature Stage: After the temperature rises to 50℃, the constant temperature stage begins, with humidity maintained at 92%. Fiber optic grating sensors monitor the concrete strength in real time. When the strength reaches 30MPa (approximately 10 hours), the control system begins to prepare for cooling. The heat energy in the constant temperature stage comes from the waste heat recovery device, which recovers waste heat from the cooling stage of other kilns. The heat energy is transferred to the energy storage tank through a plate heat exchanger (heat exchange efficiency 88%), and then transported to the kiln in the heating stage, realizing cross-kiln waste heat utilization. S64. Cooling stage: Cooling is carried out at a rate of 10℃ / h. When the temperature inside the kiln drops to 30℃, the cooling rate is reduced to 8℃ / h. At the same time, the humidity inside the kiln is increased to 95% to prevent the surface of the tube segments from losing water too quickly and causing shrinkage cracks. The waste heat generated during the cooling process is collected by the waste heat recovery module and stored in the energy storage tank for use by other kilns.

[0036] S7. Demolding and Finished Product Inspection: After curing is completed (the temperature inside the kiln drops to 25℃, and the temperature difference with the environment is ≤5℃), the kiln's sealed door is opened, and the roller conveyor system moves the mold out of the curing kiln and sends it to the demolding station. The automatic demolding device is activated. First, the hydraulic jacking device pushes the tube sheet from the inside of the mold (jacking force 100kN, 6 jacking points evenly distributed), while simultaneously the vacuum adsorption device adsorbs the tube sheet from the outside (adsorption pressure -0.07MPa, adsorption area 0.6m²). 2 The synergistic effect allows the segments to separate from the mold, preventing damage to the edges and corners of the segments; After demolding, the tube segments are conveyed to the finished product inspection station via roller conveyor. The inspection process is as follows: The laser dimension measuring instrument measures diameter (8000±2mm), roundness (≤2mm), and thickness (300±1mm), with a measurement time of 3 minutes per piece.
