Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an emergency steel sealing door device for ensuring that the risks of shield tunneling reception are controllable in complex working conditions such as enclosed underground structures with complex surrounding environments and no surface emergency rescue conditions in the event of an emergency. Background Technology
[0002] Shanghai Metro Line 14 is currently the next high-capacity east-west urban rail transit line in the network, following Lines 1 and 2, consisting of 8-car A-type trains. The line starts at Fengbang Station in Jiading, Puxi, and ends at Guiqiao Road Station in Jinqiao, Pudong. Running from west to east, the line traverses the city center, passing through five administrative districts: Jiading, Putuo, Jing'an, Huangpu, and Pudong New Area. The route primarily passes through residential and commercial areas, as well as historical and cultural preservation zones. The line is 38.514 km long, entirely underground, with 31 stations and an average station spacing of 1.273 km. The tunnel construction utilizes precast reinforced concrete segments with a concrete strength grade of C55 and a permeability grade ≥P10. The segments have an inner diameter of φ5900 mm, an outer diameter of φ6600 mm, a thickness of 350 mm, and a standard ring width of 1200 mm, and are assembled using continuous joints.
[0003] The tunnel between Lujiazui Station and Pudong South Road Station in this project has a length of 841.448m for the upline and 838.149m for the downline. The tunnels have a V-shaped longitudinal slope with a gradient of 28‰, and the tunnel top is buried at a depth of 14.8 to 22.8m. Two tunnel boring machines (TBMs) will be used for the tunnel, starting from the west end shaft of Pudong South Road Station and tunneling to the east end shaft of Lujiazui Station. The eastern end shaft of Lujiazui Station has been completed in conjunction with the underground structure construction of the second phase of the IFC Mall. Located near the intersection of Huayuan Shiqiao Road and Yincheng Middle Road, it is a four-story underground structure with a 1200mm diaphragm wall as the retaining structure, 52m deep, and an 800mm thick inner lining. The end shaft is pistol-shaped and located on the third basement level of the operating IFC Mall. It is completely enclosed, and all construction equipment and personnel can only enter through the IFC underground parking entrance. The parking passage is 2.1m high and 6m wide. Using transport vehicles with a height of less than 2.1m, forklifts transport the equipment to the second basement level, where it is then hoisted to the bottom of the end shaft using a simple gantry crane. Due to the limited structural space, large emergency rescue equipment cannot enter, and there are no emergency rescue conditions in case of an accident during the tunnel acceptance phase.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a reliable emergency device for receiving tunnel boring machines (TBMs) during tunneling to ensure that the risks of TBM construction are controllable. An emergency device that can effectively prevent the situation from escalating in the event of a sudden emergency, create conditions for subsequent rescue operations, and reduce or mitigate adverse impacts on society is a pressing problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To ensure that the risks of tunnel boring machine (TBM) entry into the underground three-story structure of the IFC Mall are controllable, this invention provides an emergency steel sealing door device for receiving TBMs entering the underground enclosed structure.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is: an emergency steel sealing door device for receiving shield tunneling machines in an underground enclosed structure, comprising: steel columns, main crossbeams, secondary crossbeams, steel plates, a pedestrian door, an airtight door, a rear bracing, steel brackets, concrete brackets, counter-pressure brackets, supporting brackets, and a steel sealing door sealing groove component. The steel columns, main crossbeams, secondary crossbeams, and steel plates constitute the emergency steel sealing door. Behind the emergency steel sealing door are steel brackets and concrete brackets, and behind the concrete brackets are rear bracing. Counter-pressure brackets and supporting brackets are respectively provided on both sides of the secondary crossbeam between the steel columns behind the steel plates of the emergency steel sealing door. A pedestrian door and an airtight door are provided inside the emergency steel sealing door.
[0007] Furthermore, the emergency steel sealing door is sealed in the shield tunnel entry receiving door by a pre-embedded steel sealing door sealing groove component.
[0008] Furthermore, emergency steel sealing doors include "I" type steel sealing doors and "L" type steel sealing doors.
[0009] An installation and usage method for an emergency steel sealing door device includes the following steps:
[0010] (1) Measure and verify the structural dimensions of the end well, and customize and process the steel columns, main beams, small beams, steel plates, pedestrian doors and airtight doors of the steel sealing door according to the internal structural dimensions;
[0011] (2) Pre-embedded installation of steel sealing groove components for steel door sealing, on-site fabrication of concrete brackets, and anchoring of steel brackets with rebars;
[0012] (3) A lifting lug is set above the steel sealing door, and the lifting lug is embedded in the middle of the steel column, symmetrically arranged front and back;
[0013] (4) The three main crossbeams are spliced and welded together;
[0014] (5) Install the lower main crossbeam and calibrate it to be level;
[0015] (6) Using the pre-embedded lifting lugs, four hand-operated hoists were used to hoist the main crossbeam and level it.
[0016] (7) Using the pre-embedded lifting lugs between the upper steel columns, use a hand chain hoist to install the steel columns respectively;
[0017] (8) After the steel columns are installed, the main crossbeam in the middle is lifted and installed.
[0018] (9) After the middle main beam is installed, install the back support to ensure that the main frame structure is stable and reliable.
[0019] (10) Use the pre-embedded lifting lugs above to install the connecting rod from top to bottom;
[0020] (11) After tightening all connecting bolts, install the steel plate seal. After installation, install the airtight door.
[0021] (12) During the factory manufacturing process, the airtight door and door frame are trial-installed to ensure the flatness of the door and door frame. After being disassembled and transported to the site, the airtight door is installed after all the steel-sealed doors are installed.
[0022] (13) After the steel sealing door is installed, an air tightness test is conducted. Once the air tightness test is passed, the shield tunneling entry door removal work is started.
[0023] (14) If mud or sand flows during the shield tunneling process, which may lead to ground subsidence or collapse, the pedestrian gate and airtight door shall be closed immediately. Polyurethane or cement shall be injected into the end well through the reserved opening on the steel sealing door to quickly establish balance, prevent further loss of the surrounding soil, and ensure that the risk of the shield tunneling is controllable.
[0024] In step (14), under the complex working conditions of receiving the tunnel in a closed underground structure with a complex surrounding environment and no ground emergency rescue conditions in case of an emergency, the emergency steel sealing door device can effectively prevent the surrounding soil and water loss and reduce the impact on the surrounding environment in case of an emergency during the tunnel entry, ensuring that the risk of the shield tunneling is controllable.
[0025] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0026] This invention relates to an emergency steel sealing door device suitable for receiving tunnel boring machines (TBMs) within enclosed underground structures. This device can serve as a final emergency response measure to control the risks of TBM entry, especially in complex environments with limited surface rescue conditions. The device is reusable, saving costs, and features a simple structure, ingenious design, low manufacturing cost, and easy installation. By adjusting its shape and size, it can be widely applied to various engineering construction projects, demonstrating significant practical value and economic potential. Attached Figure Description
