Description

[0002] At present, the total investment of metro construction is very large, and the construction period is one of the important factors affecting the total investment. Due to the reasons such as station construction land acquisition and demolition, traffic flow adjustment, pipe comprehensive line transformation, the station construction period is longer, and the station cannot provide conditions for the machine to pass through. In order to compress the construction period, a "tunnel first and station later" construction method is proposed, that is, the machine continues to dig in the station range, and the tunnel construction is completed, and then the station construction is carried out. There are usually two methods of shotcrete support and temporary segment for the machine to pass through the station range. Compared with the shotcrete support, the temporary segment has the following advantages: the temporary segment has good structural integrity, has less influence on the structure during the station construction, and has high safety; the machine can continuously dig when passing through the station, reduces the time of re-launching the machine and setting anchor rods, saves the construction period, and the construction progress node is clear. After the machine passes through the station, the temporary segment is removed during the station excavation. In order to reduce the amount of concrete and reduce the engineering cost, small-radius segments can be used in the station range, and standard segments can be used in the main line. The existing segment connection method is mainly for the connection between segments with the same radius: bolt, sleeve, auxiliary segment lap, etc. This connection method cannot be connected when the inner diameters of the segments are greatly different, or there is no overlapping part between the two segments.

[0037] The first tube segment 3 is connected to the first ring plate 11 and the second ring plate 12 via the second connector 5;

[0038] The first ring plate 11, the second ring plate 12 and the third ring plate 13 are arranged in sequence and connected to each other by the first connector 2;

[0039] The second segment 4 is connected to the second ring plate 12 and the third ring plate 13 via the third connector 6.

The first connecting member 2, the second connecting member 5, and the third connecting member 6 can be connected to the corresponding ring plate 1 by welding, threaded connection, or other methods.

[0041] like Figures 4-5 As shown, in specific operation, the first connecting member 2, the first ring plate 11, the second ring plate 12, and the third ring plate 13 can be used first, then the second connecting member 5 can be used to connect the first tube segment 3, and the third connecting member 6 can be used to connect the second tube segment 4.

Both shotcrete treatment and the placement of waterproof material can achieve the effect of preventing water seepage.

[0043] Each ring plate 1 can be prefabricated as a ring shape, but due to the large size of the entire ring shape, it is not conducive to transportation, so in the preferred embodiment of the present application, the raw materials of the first ring plate 11, the second ring plate 12 and the third ring plate 13 are all arc-shaped segments; the arc-shaped segments are spliced and welded into the first ring plate 11, the second ring plate 12 and the third ring plate 13 at the construction site.

The fine stone concrete can fill the connecting device to ensure its stability.
