Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tunnel boring machine (TBM) construction technology, specifically to a TBM launching method that uses a steel cannon-bracing reaction system to replace a steel reaction frame. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, during the shield tunneling launch process, it is usually necessary to set up a reaction frame behind the shield body. The shield launch reaction frame device is generally an inner octagonal portal frame structure, usually made of steel. Steel pipe supports are installed in the opposite direction of the octagonal portal frame structure. It is installed in the shield working shaft to provide reaction force for tunneling during the shield launch.

[0003] However, traditional steel reaction frames have the following problems in the launching of large-diameter shield tunnels: compared with small-diameter shield tunnels, large-diameter shield tunnels require larger reaction frames with very complex structures, high assembly and disassembly difficulty, and high precision requirements for nodes; they cannot be reused for shields of different diameters, resulting in high operating costs; traditional steel reaction frames have heavy lifting weights and high safety risks, requiring at least four people to perform welding operations at a height of 10 meters, and inadequate edge protection could potentially cause mass casualties; the construction process of traditional steel reaction frames is complicated, with a large amount of welding work, generally taking more than two weeks, which could potentially delay the construction schedule. Therefore, considering the need to simplify construction, reduce construction difficulty, reduce investment costs, avoid construction risks, and shorten construction time, thereby making shield tunnel launching more efficient and safer, we propose a steel cannon-braced reaction system to replace the steel reaction frame in shield tunnel launching construction methods.

[0009] Step 3, excavation of the arc-shaped cross-section structure: construct the arc-shaped cross-section structure, setting the inner diameter of the arc-shaped cross-section structure to be 12.1±0.1m and the thickness to be 0.8±0.02m;

[0012] Step 5, Construction of the steel cannon support reaction system: Multiple steel cannon supports are evenly distributed along the first annular steel plate to replace the traditional steel reaction frame.

[0013] Step Six, Cave Entrance Demolition: Use a pneumatic drill to break down the cave entrance into shredding layers;

[0014] Step 7, Initial Advancement: The tunnel boring machine advances forward.

[0015] Preferably, L-shaped reinforcing bars are welded to the first annular steel plate for anchoring connection with the arc-shaped cross-section structure, and the L-shaped reinforcing bars and the first annular steel plate are connected by double-sided lap welding of 100±5mm.

This steel cannon-support reaction system eliminates the need for large crawler cranes, minimizing high-altitude work and effectively controlling safety risks. The construction process is simple, with minimal welding work, requiring only 2-3 days, significantly shortening the construction period. Simultaneously, the circular arc cross-section structure provides a more stable support structure, reducing the probability of tensile and compressive failure of the negative ring segments and providing sufficient reaction support, thus improving shield tunneling launch efficiency.

[0035] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] Please see Figure 1-6 The present invention will describe the above technical solution in detail through the following embodiments:

[0037] A method for shield tunneling initiation construction that uses a steel cannon-bracing reaction system to replace a steel reaction frame includes the following steps:

[0038] Step 1, Reinforcement of the Launch Shaft: This step is to ensure the solidity of the surrounding soil base during the shield tunneling launch to guarantee safety. High-pressure jet grouting piles are used to reinforce the end of the launch shaft. In this embodiment, the longitudinal length of the reinforcement area is set at 20m, with 5m extending to the outer side of the launch shaft on each side. The reinforcement depth is 5.0m below the bottom slab of the launch shaft. High-pressure jet grouting concrete is used for reinforcement. After 28 days of reinforcement construction, vertical core sampling is conducted to test the foundation reinforcement.

[0039] Step 2: Excavation and construction of the launching shaft and launching base: The compressive strength of the core sample should not be less than 1.2 MPa, and the permeability coefficient should not be less than 1×10⁻⁶. -7 If the speed is less than cm / s, the starting shaft should be excavated. If this does not meet the requirements, reinforcement measures such as horizontal grouting and re-jetting should be immediately implemented to ensure the safety of the shield tunneling launch. Figure 2 The cross-sectional view of the starting working shaft shown shows that a reinforced concrete starting base is poured at the bottom of the starting working shaft. Before the starting base is made, the starting position needs to be re-measured by the surveying team to clarify the positional deviation. During the construction of the starting base, two 200×200mm H-beams 15 are pre-embedded in each section, and two steel rails 12 are arranged longitudinally symmetrically to provide sliding for the tunnel boring machine 2.

[0040] Step 3, excavate the arc-shaped cross-section structure: such as Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the shield tunnel inlet structure. This diagram shows the effect after the construction of the arc-shaped cross-section structure 8 in the open-cut section. Construction of the arc-shaped cross-section structure 8 requires excavating an open-cut foundation pit. The arc-shaped cross-section structure 8 is set at the inlet open-cut section. First, a diaphragm wall 3 is constructed as the retaining structure. After the excavation reaches the bottom, the bottom slab 6, side walls 5, and top slab 4 are constructed sequentially, and the backfill soil 7 is backfilled to the ground surface elevation. In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the arc-shaped cross-section structure is 12.1m, and the thickness is 0.8m. A first annular steel plate 10 is pre-embedded on the arc-shaped cross-section structure 8, and a second... A ring-shaped steel plate 10 is 30mm thick and 600mm wide. Negative ring segments 9 are assembled along the first ring-shaped steel plate 10. In this embodiment, L-shaped steel bars are welded on the first ring-shaped steel plate 10 for anchoring connection with the arc-shaped cross-section structure 8. The L-shaped steel bars and the first ring-shaped steel plate 10 are connected by double-sided lap welding of 100mm. At the same time, the L-shaped steel bars are distributed at 2.5° along the circumference of the first ring-shaped steel plate. This construction is to maintain a tight installation with the arc-shaped cross-section structure, obtain uniform stress, and serve as a reaction support base.

[0041] Step 4, hoisting and assembling the tunnel boring machine: A 400-ton crawler crane is used to hoist the tunnel boring machine 2 into the starting working shaft in sections, and to assemble and debug it in the shaft to ensure that the mechanical equipment meets the starting conditions. The tunnel boring machine 2 is installed on the steel rail 12 of the starting base for assembly and debugging.

[0042] Step 5, Construction of the steel cannon support reaction system: (e.g.) Figure 4 The diagram shows the construction distribution of the steel support structure. 36 steel supports 13 are evenly distributed along the first annular steel plate 10 to replace the traditional steel reaction frame. In this embodiment, one end of each steel support 13 is welded to the arc-shaped cross-section structure 8 via the first annular steel plate 10, and the other end is welded to the negative ring segment 9. A second annular steel plate 14, 20mm thick and 500mm wide, is installed at the other end of the negative ring segment 9. It should be noted that the angle of the steel supports 13 needs to be adjusted downwards during welding to ensure no eccentric force occurs. Each steel support 13 requires a steel wire rope hanging measure, and four triangular steel ribs are welded to each end of each steel support 13 to increase the weld area. Figure 3 As shown, eight assembled annular negative ring segments 9 are arranged sequentially. The diagram shows that a total of -8 to -1 rings are required at the start. Each ring is a reinforced concrete structure. The outer diameter of the assembled nine negative ring segments 9 is 13.3m, and the inner diameter is 12.2m. Figure 3 As shown, the -8 ring negative ring segment is set as the first ring, and the second ring steel plate 14 is installed on one side of the steel gun support 13 corresponding to the -8 ring; the second ring steel plate 14 is connected to the negative ring segment 9 through anchor bars 1, and the anchor bars are set with a length of 300mm and two rows are arranged in a ring. The anchor bars 1 are distributed along the second ring steel plate 14 in a circumferential direction.

[0043] The tunnel boring machine (TBM) 1 moves forward and assembles the remaining negative ring segments. The assembled and debugged TBM 1 is supported by the -8 negative ring and the steel cannon support 13, and moves forward via the steel rail 12 on the starting base. As the TBM moves forward 2m, the remaining negative ring segments 9 from -7 to -2 are assembled in sequence. Each ring is fastened with 18 M36 high-strength bolts, and the rings are fastened with 50 M36 high-strength bolts. After the entire ring is assembled, a U-shaped buckle is welded using 2cm thick steel plates.

[0044] Step Six, Portal Removal: Use a pneumatic drill to pulverize and remove portal 11 in layers. Erect steel scaffolding beforehand and prepare all necessary equipment for the portal 11 removal. Begin removing portal 11 only after ensuring the tunnel boring machine (TBM) is in good working order. The removal will be carried out in two stages. The diaphragm wall 3 will be removed in layers and sections, from top to bottom, totaling 16 sections. Concrete and some reinforcing steel will be removed sequentially and promptly removed. To ensure the reinforcement effect of the high-pressure jet grouting piles in the starting shaft, the depth of each removal step should be strictly controlled. The first removal will be 15cm to facilitate sequential work, and the second removal will be 65cm, leaving 20cm remaining. After removal, a vertical cross-section will be formed, and the downward slope of the TBM starting tunnel will no longer be considered. Throughout the removal operation, close attention should be paid to the reinforcement effect of the outer soil. Based on the actual situation, portal 11 will be safely removed, and the removed concrete should be cleaned up promptly.

[0045] Step 7, Initial Advancement: Tunnel boring machine 2 advances forward, passing through the extended steel ring and pre-embedded steel ring installed inside the tunnel to prevent sudden water inrush, and then contacts the broken face and excavates the soil. During the process, construction monitoring and grouting to seal leaks should be carried out to ensure the safe start of tunnel boring machine 2. When the tunnel has been excavated to the point where the ground provides enough friction to provide sufficient reaction force for tunnel boring machine 2, dismantling work can be carried out in sequence. At this point, the tunnel boring machine launch work is completed.

[0046] It is important to explain that this construction method differs from the traditional steel reaction frame construction method in that: Instead of using a steel reaction frame, it utilizes the arc-shaped cross-section structure formed by the deep excavation required for shield tunneling. A first annular steel plate 10 is installed on the arc-shaped cross-section structure 8, and steel supports 13 are used to support the negative ring segment 9 on which a second annular steel plate 14 is installed. This reaction system, based on the arc-shaped cross-section structure 8, provides robust support for the shield's initial launch, obtaining sufficient reverse force to propel the shield machine 2 forward. The steel supports are hydraulic cylinder devices that provide a movement range for the shield during its movement. In this embodiment, four steel supports equipped with axial force gauges and evenly distributed are used to monitor the force. If any abnormality is detected, the jacking process is immediately stopped. Specifically, this embodiment uses steel supports with a diameter of 400mm, a wall thickness of 20mm, and made of Q345 steel.

[0047] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indications are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0048] Furthermore, if the embodiments of the present invention involve descriptions such as "first," "second," etc., these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description; therefore, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within the present invention.
