Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of shield tunnel construction, and particularly relates to a construction method for shield tunnel entry. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the construction of a tunnel, the shield method is relatively common. The conventional shield method entry portal needs to be provided with a negative ring and a counterforce support. The shield machine propulsion system acts force on the counterforce support through the negative ring to push the shield cutterhead forward to excavate, and the shield cutterhead enters the portal after breaking the reinforced concrete pile row.

[0003] The conventional shield method tunnel entry mode has the following disadvantages:

[0004] (1) The conventional shield method entry portal needs to be provided with a negative ring and a counterforce support, which increases the cost and working hours;

[0005] (2) The conventional shield machine entry mode needs to damage the reinforced concrete pile row structure. In the process of cutting the reinforced concrete pile row, the shield cutterhead is damaged;

[0006] (3) When the tunnel is buried deep, in order to avoid safety accidents such as surrounding rock instability at the portal, the conventional shield method entry mode needs to reinforce a large range of soil, which is not economical in cost;

[0007] (4) In addition, under some special conditions, such as in order for the shield machine to enter the portal, the subway usually needs to be specially provided with a shield well, the width of the shield well is slightly larger than other sections, which causes the surrounding pile to have a convex external corner, which is not conducive to the stability of the structure and increases the safety risk;

[0008] (5) When the shield machine enters the portal in a steep mountain, the external counterforce support cannot be provided, which makes it difficult to enter the portal smoothly;

[0009] (6) After the conventional shield machine entry mode causes safety accidents such as surrounding rock instability at the portal, it is difficult to deal with;

[0010] The tunnel portal is often a high-risk section of construction. Once safety accidents such as surrounding rock instability occur at the portal, it is very difficult to deal with. In order to solve the above technical problems in the conventional shield method entry construction method, the present application provides a new shield tunnel entry construction method. SUMMARY

[0011] The present application aims to provide a new shield method tunnel entry construction method, which solves the defects of high cost and long working hours in the conventional shield method entry construction method.

[0012] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a shield method tunnel entry construction method, the construction sequence of which is as follows,

[0013] (1)First step: the tunnel entrance section is excavated by the mine method and is initially supported, and the tunnel excavation and initial support contour line is continuously adjusted during construction, so that the formed initial support is "sawtooth-shaped", and a plurality of "wedges" are formed after the secondary lining is poured;

[0014] (2) Second step: the secondary lining of the tunnel entrance is constructed by the mold pouring method, and in order to ensure that the secondary lining can provide sufficient counterforce, the secondary lining can also be fixed together with the system anchor rod end;

[0015] (3) Third step: first advance the cutter head, shield machine support ring and shield machine propulsion system to the working face;

[0016] (4) Fourth step: install the counterforce device on the surface of the secondary lining concrete. The tunnel bottom is poured with reinforced concrete as the counterforce device and is closely connected with the original secondary lining. The side wall and arch part use prefabricated steel counterforce supports as the counterforce device, which are closely connected with the secondary lining concrete through anchor bolt holes. The prefabricated steel counterforce supports are connected with each other through counterforce support connecting bolt holes.

[0017] (5) Fifth step: install the assembly system and the unearthing system (not shown in the figure), and perform shield empty pushing with the counterforce device as the fulcrum until the working face;

[0018] (6) Sixth step: normally advance the shield machine.

[0019] The invention has the following technical features relative to the conventional tunnel construction method of the shield method:

[0020] (1) The tunnel entrance is often a high-risk section for construction, and after the occurrence of safety accidents such as surrounding rock instability at the tunnel entrance using the conventional shield machine tunneling method, it is difficult to deal with. The tunneling construction method of the invention is more flexible and easy to deal with.

[0021] (2) In order for the shield machine to enter the tunnel, the subway usually needs to specially set up a shield well, and the width of the shield well is slightly larger than that of other sections, resulting in a convex external corner of the retaining pile, which is not conducive to structural stability. In the invention, the shield machine does not need external counterforce devices, and the above-mentioned shortcomings do not exist.

[0022] (3) The conventional shield machine tunneling method needs to destroy the reinforced concrete pile structure, and the shield machine cutter head will be damaged during the cutting process of the reinforced concrete pile structure. The invention avoids this construction link.

[0023] (4) Secondary lining is poured according to the shape of "wedge", and the secondary lining is pressed more tightly when providing counterforce for the shield machine, which can provide effective counterforce for the advance of the shield machine.

[0024] (5) The invention does not need a negative ring and does not need to set a counterforce support outside the hole, saving the cost and working hours of the negative ring and the counterforce support.

[0025] (6) When the tunnel is buried deep, the traditional hole entry method needs to reinforce a larger range of soil, and the hole entry of the invention only needs to reinforce the soil around the tunnel.

[0026] (7) When the shield machine is advancing in a steep mountain, the external counterforce support cannot be provided, and the method of the invention can be used. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0045] In the fifth step, the shield segment 9 is arranged in the inner layer of the shield machine support ring 6 in the installation and assembly system.
