Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of tunnel construction, in particular to an on-site maintenance system for a tunnel lining formwork. The present invention also relates to a method for performing on-site maintenance of a tunnel lining formwork by adopting the maintenance system. Background Art

[0002] Tunnels are a vital component of highway, railway, and municipal infrastructure. As a major infrastructure construction country, my country has added over 1,100 kilometers of new highway tunnels annually over the past decade. The construction of numerous tunnel structures requires the use of large, custom-shaped formwork (7-10 meters high and up to 12 meters long) for cyclic support before pouring concrete. After the concrete solidifies, the formwork is tightened, a process known as demolding. During this demolding process, concrete residue can easily adhere to the formwork joints. If not promptly polished and cleaned, the formwork can become more adhered to during the next construction cycle. This can cause honeycombing and chipping on the surface of the already poured tunnel, and can even expose structural rebar, seriously compromising the strength and durability of the concrete structure.

[0003] Furthermore, since the 20th century, my country's tunnel construction has rapidly developed. Due to complex environmental influences and the increasing service life of tunnels, various tunnel diseases have inevitably occurred. my country has gradually shifted from the "tunnel construction era" to the "tunnel maintenance era." Common tunnel diseases include water damage, frost damage, tunnel fires, lining cracking, and lining erosion. Lining cracking is one of the most common and most detrimental tunnel diseases. Lining cracking can, to a certain extent, affect the bearing capacity and stability of the tunnel structure. The cracks reduce the concrete strength and, in severe cases, can even cause tunnel collapse, affecting the safe and normal operation of pedestrians and vehicles. Therefore, it is particularly important to efficiently clean concrete debris from tunnel lining formwork to improve tunnel construction quality.

[0004] Currently, workers primarily rely on handheld angle grinders to clean concrete debris from the lining formwork. However, due to the complex construction site conditions, the process generates significant dust, posing a serious threat to workers' physical and mental health. Furthermore, the extremely narrow construction site operating space, which only allows sideways access, forces workers to manually grind only a small amount of the bottom formwork, making grinding the arc and arch sections extremely difficult. Severe cases of concrete debris adhering to the formwork require the entire formwork trolley to be removed from the tunnel or disassembled for cleaning and reassembly. This creates a high workload, high risk, and low efficiency, severely impacting construction progress. Summary of the Invention

[0021] Step 2: Open the control panel of the ground host and check whether the indicator light is normal; check whether the camera image recognition effect is clear; check whether the constant pressure support unit of the template maintenance robot is reliable;

[0029] Step 10. Turn off the power of the template maintenance robot and the ground host, and disconnect the data transmission cable.

[0030] Compared with the existing formwork concrete residue grinding method, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0031] 1. The present invention uses robots to replace manual cleaning of concrete residues, which can quickly and efficiently clean the arc section and arch section of the template, which are extremely difficult to polish and difficult to clean, thereby reducing the workload of workers;

[0032] 2. The in-situ formwork maintenance system of the present invention eliminates the need to remove the formwork trolley from the tunnel or disassemble it during the entire in-situ formwork maintenance process. This avoids the problem of removing the formwork trolley from the tunnel or disassembling and reassembling it for overall formwork polishing, which seriously affects the construction progress.

[0033] 3. The constant pressure support unit in the present invention can provide sufficient pressure for the formwork maintenance robot between the lining formwork and the poured concrete wall, ensuring that the robot can move freely in the vertical space without falling; and can adaptively rise and fall according to the arc space in which it is located, ensuring that the pressure remains constant when the working space size changes;

[0034] 4. The independent suspension unit of the present invention has a drive wheel that is directly connected to the drive motor and reducer, resulting in a compact structure and small size, making it suitable for wheeled robot chassis in confined spaces. After the independent suspension unit is installed around the chassis of the template maintenance robot, it can ensure that all drive wheels of the template maintenance robot can touch the ground on uneven ground, maintaining reliable grip. Moreover, because the independent suspension unit is equipped with a star-shaped reducer, the output torque is large, which can ensure that the template maintenance robot chassis has sufficient driving force.

[0035] 5. The main machine suspension structure of the present invention is simple and has low production cost. It is installed as a whole on the main machine frame on the ground, which can ensure the reliable grip of each driving wheel on uneven roads. When encountering undulating roads, the driving wheels on both sides rotate around the center of the torsion support, which can reduce the tilt and undulation of the ground main machine itself.

The bottom of the second connecting rod 13-5-2 is hinged to the outer side of the horizontal part of the L-shaped base 13-1 through a pin that passes through the first strip hole 13-4 and extends to the inside of the connecting member 13-3.

[0058] When the constant pressure support unit 13 is in the retracted state, the electric cylinder 13-2 is extended to the maximum position, the articulated support 13-6, the support wheel seat 13-10, and the support wheel 13-11 are in the lowest position, the buffer spring 13-14 is in an extended state, the sliding pin 13-9 at the vertical strip hole 13-8 on the support wheel seat 13-10 and the articulated support 13-6 is at the top position of the vertical strip hole 13-8, and the limit switch 13-12 installed on the top of the articulated support 13-6 is in a closed state; when starting to work, the electric cylinder 13-2 begins to retract, and the connecting piece 13-3 drives the first connecting rod 13-5-1 along the second transverse strip The shaped hole 13-7 slides backward, the bottom end of the second connecting rod 13-5-2 rotates around the fixed hole on the L-shaped base 13-1, and the top end of the second connecting rod 13-5-2 slides along the first transverse strip hole 13-4 toward one end of the longitudinal portion of the L-shaped base 1. The X-shaped mechanism composed of the first connecting rod 13-5-1 and the second connecting rod 13-5-2 causes the hinged support 13-6 to move upward, while driving the support wheel seat 13-10 and the support wheel 13-11 to move vertically upward; when the support wheel 13-11 hits the poured concrete wall in the highway tunnel, the support wheel 13-11 and the support wheel seat 13-10 rotate around the bottom of the support wheel seat 13-10 together.

As the robot's moving space shrinks, support wheel seat 13-10, under the pressure of support wheel 13-11, pushes buffer spring 13-14 to contract. When sliding pin 13-9 moves downward to limit switch 13-12 at the bottom of articulated support 13-6, electric cylinder 13-2 begins to extend, causing articulated support 13-6 to move downward.
