[0001] This invention relates to the field of utility tunnel construction technology, and more specifically, to a construction method for a U-shaped steel cage in the construction of an underground integrated utility tunnel. Background Technology

[0002] Integrated utility tunnels are underground urban pipeline corridors. They are tunnel spaces built underground in cities to integrate various engineering pipelines such as electricity, communications, gas, heating, water supply and drainage. They are equipped with dedicated maintenance ports, hoisting ports and monitoring systems, and are subject to unified planning, design, construction and management. They are important infrastructure and "lifelines" to ensure the operation of cities.

[0003] When constructing the utility tunnel, a steel cage needs to be erected in the pre-excavated foundation pit. The steel cage is laid along the extension direction of the foundation pit and has a U-shaped structure. Existing U-shaped steel cages need to be temporarily erected in the foundation pit, using different steel bars arranged in an alternating pattern, which results in low construction efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0029] Example

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-7 A construction method for U-shaped steel cages in the construction of underground utility tunnels includes the following steps:

[0031] Step 1: Select multiple prefabricated U-shaped steel cage units 2 based on the dimensions of the utility tunnel foundation pit;

[0032] The utility tunnel foundation pit is constructed using a slope excavation method, which has the advantages of low cost and fast support construction speed. During the excavation stage of the utility tunnel foundation pit, necessary surface drainage systems such as open ditches, blind ditches, and sump pits, as well as an internal drainage system, should be set up.

[0033] For the formation of U-shaped rebar cage unit 2, firstly, a rebar cage installation platform is built, and the bottom plate rebar unit is installed on the platform. Secondly, vertical positioning frames are installed on the rebar cage installation platforms on both sides of the bottom plate rebar unit, with the vertical positioning frames close to the bottom plate rebar. Side wall rebar units are installed on the inner sides of both vertical positioning frames, and the side wall rebar units are connected to the vertical positioning frames. Finally, the middle wall rebar unit is installed on the bottom plate rebar unit between the two side beam rebar units. (The bottom plate rebar unit, side wall rebar unit, and middle wall rebar unit are all prefabricated rectangular rebar cages with different sizes. In actual use, the corresponding size module can be selected for construction, which has the advantage of fast construction efficiency.) This forming method realizes the modular construction of U-shaped rebar cages, greatly improving the construction speed.

[0034] Step 2: Select a U-shaped steel cage unit 2 and hoist it onto the cushion layer in the pipe gallery foundation pit, aligning the center line of the U-shaped steel cage unit 2 with the center line of the pipe gallery foundation pit;

[0035] The foundation layer is cast in place and is located at the bottom center of the pipe gallery foundation pit. Before the foundation layer is constructed, two positioning and tensioning devices for connecting the box-shaped outer formwork are pre-embedded in sections at the bottom of the pipe gallery foundation pit, and a positioning pile for the outer diameter of the pipe gallery is implanted inside any of the positioning and tensioning devices.

[0036] Step 3: After fixing and installing the outer mold 3 on both sides of the U-shaped steel cage unit 2, adjust the U-shaped steel cage unit 2 to the position to be constructed.

[0037] The outer mold 3 is connected to two positioning and tensioning devices, which are two horizontally arranged adjusting bolts. The position of the outer mold 3 is fixed by the positioning of the two adjusting bolts. The positioning and tensioning device can enable the outer mold 3 to be quickly positioned on the pipe gallery cushion layer 1.

[0038] Step 4: Install the crossbeams connecting the two outer molds 3 on their tops;

[0039] The crossbeam and the two outer molds 3 are detachably connected by bolts, which enables quick connection or disassembly between the outer molds 3 and the crossbeam.

[0040] Step 5: The remaining U-shaped steel cage units 2 are hoisted sequentially to the pipe gallery foundation pit for sequential splicing.

[0041] The multi-segment U-shaped steel cage unit 2 is arranged sequentially along the extension direction of the pipe gallery foundation pit, and the adjacent U-shaped steel cages are connected end to end, which improves the structural stability of the multi-segment U-shaped steel cage unit 2 connected to the overall steel cage.

[0042] This invention is based on the sequential hoisting of prefabricated U-shaped steel cage units 2 into the pipe gallery foundation pit to form a complete U-shaped steel cage, realizing the rapid construction of steel cages in the pipe gallery foundation pit. Compared with the traditional temporary construction method, the modular construction method improves efficiency.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present invention, the position of the U-shaped steel cage unit 2 in step three is adjusted by a moving positioning device 4.

[0044] In the above embodiment, the U-shaped rebar cage unit 2 is connected to the mobile positioning device 4, facilitating autonomous adjustment of the position of the U-shaped rebar cage unit 2. The mobile positioning device 4 has two guide rails, on which a support structure is slidably mounted. This support structure is used to connect the U-shaped rebar cage unit.

[0045] After the first U-shaped steel cage unit 2 is installed, the moving positioning device 4 and the hoisting tools for the U-shaped steel cage unit 2 are removed before the next U-shaped steel cage unit 2 is installed.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, in step five, adjacent U-shaped steel cages are pulled closer by hydraulic cylinder 5, and the adjacent U-shaped steel cages are overlapped.

[0047] In the above embodiment, the U-shaped steel cage is pulled by the hydraulic cylinder 5, which makes the movement of the U-shaped steel cage more sensitive and easier to adjust its position.

[0048] In practical applications, two hydraulic cylinders 5 are used, which are distributed on both sides of the U-shaped steel cage to achieve bidirectional pulling of the U-shaped steel cage, resulting in a better pulling effect.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, the pipe gallery foundation pit has a sunken section, which includes two horizontal sections and a sloping section;

[0050] U-shaped steel cages were hoisted into the two horizontal sections and the sloping section respectively, and gaps were formed between adjacent U-shaped steel cages for filling and reinforcement.

[0051] In the above embodiments, for the sinking section of the pipe gallery foundation pit, a filling and reinforcement method is adopted to achieve a stable connection between the horizontal section and the sloping section U-shaped steel cage, thereby realizing the rapid arrangement of the steel cage in the sinking section of the pipe gallery foundation pit.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, a filling steel bar 6 is inserted into the gap, and the two ends of the filling steel bar 6 are respectively lapped with the U-shaped steel cage on the same side.

[0053] In the above embodiment, the U-shaped steel cage has multiple layers. For adjacent U-shaped steel cages, the multiple layers of steel bars are respectively inserted with filling steel bars 6 to enhance the connection stability between adjacent U-shaped steel cages, thereby improving the overall structural stability of the steel cage.

[0054] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
