[0042] A method for sequential vertical partial freezing of the ends of upper and lower overlapping tunnels, the method comprising the following steps:
[0043] The freezing method involves the following structures: a downline tunnel portal 10, a downline tunnel portal freezing zone 11, an upline tunnel portal 12, an upline tunnel portal freezing zone 13, a shield machine 14 and a support frame 15; the brine is a calcium chloride solution with a mass concentration of 29.9% and a freezing point of -55°C; the temperature of the low-temperature brine of the upper freezing zone inlet pipe 101, the upper freezing zone return pipe 102, the lower freezing zone inlet pipe 103 and the lower freezing zone return pipe 104 is between -36°C and -40°C; the single-hole brine flow rate is 10m 3 / h, the brine flow rate in the annular space of the freezing pipe is 0.4-0.5m / s;
[0044] The thickness of the freezing curtain of the offline tunnel portal freezing zone 11 and the online tunnel portal 12 is 1.6m, the average soil temperature is -15°C, and the active freezing time is 21 days; after the offline tunnel portal 10 has been actively frozen for 10 days, the four-way control valve 8 is controlled to actively freeze the online tunnel portal 12. After the active freezing time of the offline tunnel portal freezing zone 11 reaches 21 days and the development of the freezing curtain and the average soil temperature meet the design requirements, the shield machine for the offline tunnel portal 10 is started or received within 12 days, and the start or reception of the offline tunnel portal 10 is completed after the start or reception of the offline tunnel portal 10 is completed;
[0045] After the active freezing time of the freezing zone 13 of the upper tunnel portal has reached 21 days and the freezing curtain development and the average soil temperature have reached the design requirements, the shield machine of the lower tunnel portal 10 is started or received; during the process of starting or receiving the shield machine of the lower tunnel portal 10, the freezing zone 108 below the freezer remains in a maintenance frozen state until the start or reception of the shield machine of the lower tunnel portal 10 is completed;
[0046] During the start or reception of the shield machine of the online tunnel portal 12, the freezing area 109 on the freezer remains in a maintenance freezing state until the start or reception of the shield machine of the online tunnel is completed, and then the freezing is stopped.
[0047] The length of the upper non-freezing zone vacuum casing 5 and the extension pipe is determined by the buried depth of the upper tunnel, and the position of the thread on the low-temperature resistant steel pipe 1010 is determined; the upper and lower clearances of the overlapping tunnel portals are used to determine whether the lower non-freezing zone vacuum casing 9 is required. The lower part is the manufacturing process of the double freezing zone local freezer, which means that the lower non-freezing zone vacuum casing 9 is required;
[0048] Assemble the pipelines: Weld the upper freezing zone water inlet pipe 101, upper freezing zone return pipe 102, lower freezing zone water inlet pipe 103, and lower freezing zone return pipe 104 to the upper perforated baffle 105, middle perforated baffle 106, and lower perforated baffle 107. During installation, ensure that the distance between the end of the water inlet pipe and the perforated baffle is 20 mm, and install the insulation gasket 2 and the sealing gasket 3 at the perforated area.
[0049] After completing the S2 welding work, the entirety of the pipe is covered with a low-temperature resistant steel pipe 1010, and the upper ends of the upper freezing zone water inlet pipe 101, the upper freezing zone return pipe 102, the lower freezing zone water inlet pipe 103, and the lower freezing zone return pipe 104 extend out of the low-temperature resistant steel pipe 1010 and are connected to the four-way control valve 8;
[0050] Insert the upper non-freezing area vacuum sleeve 5 from above the assembled low-temperature resistant steel pipe 1010, tighten it through the reserved threads on the sleeve and the freezer, then weld the upper non-freezing area vacuum sleeve 5 and the low-temperature resistant steel pipe 1010 into one, and when installing the lower non-freezing area vacuum sleeve 9, insert it from the bottom of the low-temperature resistant steel pipe 1010. The subsequent steps are the same as those for installing the upper non-freezing area vacuum sleeve 5; after the local freezer 1 is assembled, pressure testing and liquid testing operations should be carried out.
[0051] The soil layers of a subway access tunnel, from top to bottom, consist of miscellaneous fill, silty clay, silty clay, fully weathered diorite, strongly weathered diorite (gravel), strongly weathered diorite, moderately weathered diorite (relatively crushed), and moderately weathered diorite. Phreatic water occurs in shallow soil layers. Fine-grained soils are present in the fully weathered diorite and strongly weathered diorite (gravel) layers, which are prone to soil flow and piping under certain hydrodynamic conditions. The water-richness of the soil layers varies significantly. Silty clay, silty clay, and gravelly silty clay layers are locally distributed in the upper part, exhibiting certain confined water properties. The lower tunnel portal has a floor elevation of -28.2m and a roof elevation of -21.5m. The upper tunnel portal has a floor elevation of -14.5m and a roof elevation of -7.8m. The clearance between the upper and lower portals is 7m, and the clearance between the tunnels is 7.6m.
[0052] 1. Based on the buried depth of the upper and lower overlapping tunnel portals, the length of the upper non-freezing zone vacuum casing 5 was determined to be 4.8m, and the length of the lower non-freezing zone vacuum casing 9 was determined to be 1m. It is expected that the refrigeration capacity will be saved by about 40%.
[0053] 2. Construction of vertical freezing pipes: After tightening the inner pipe clamps of the joints between the freezing steel pipes, use manual arc welding to ensure welding strength. Drill holes and bury local freezers according to different design positions. Monitor the deflection in real time during drilling. If the deflection is greater than 150mm, stop drilling immediately and correct the deviation. After drilling, check the length of the freezing pipe. Grouting is carried out in time after each drilling is completed to ensure a stable combination of steel pipes, slurry and soil. Pressurize the vertical freezing pipe for leak testing, and maintain the pressure at 0.8MPa. If it is stable for more than 15 minutes, it is considered that the freezing pipe is leak-free. Debug the refrigeration system, brine circulation system, and detection system, and pay attention to dynamic parameters such as pressure and temperature. Freon F-22 is used as the refrigerant, and the cooling brine is calcium chloride solution.
[0054] 3. Active freezing of vertical freezing pipes: The designed active freezing time is 35 days, with a single freezing hole flow rate greater than 10m³ / h. The brine temperature must drop below -30°C after 7 days of active freezing and below -36°C after 21 days. The brine temperature must drop below -36°C when the shield machine is launched or terminated. The designed freeze curtain closing time is 21 days. The designed frozen wall thickness is 1.6m, with an average temperature of -15°C.
[0055] 4. The order of launching or receiving and the freezing time arrangement: The active freezing time of the portals of the offline and online tunnels is 21 days; after the portals of the offline tunnel have been actively frozen for 10 days, the four-way valves are controlled to actively freeze the portals of the online tunnel. After the active freezing time of the freezing zone of the portals of the offline tunnel reaches 21 days and the development of the freezing curtain and the average temperature of the soil have reached the design requirements, the shield of the offline tunnel is launched or received (launching or receiving is completed within 12 days). After the launch or reception of the shield of the offline tunnel is completed, the active freezing time of the freezing zone of the portals of the online tunnel has also reached 21 days and the development of the freezing curtain and the average temperature of the soil have reached the design requirements, the shield of the offline tunnel is launched or received; during the launch or reception of the shield of the offline tunnel, the lower freezing zone of the freezer remains in a maintenance-frozen state until the launch or reception of the shield of the offline tunnel is completed; similarly, during the launch or reception of the shield of the online tunnel, the upper freezing zone of the freezer remains in a maintenance-frozen state until the launch or reception of the shield of the online tunnel is completed, and the freezing is stopped.

Any technician familiar with the technical field, within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, who makes equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
