Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of variable-section pipe segment sinking, and in particular to a variable-section pipe segment sinking positioning system and method. Background Art

[0002] The immersed tube method is the abbreviation of the prefabricated pipe segment sinking method, which is an operation method for underwater tunnel construction. The operation sequence is to first prefabricate the immersed tube tunnel segment on the slipway, in the project or in the dry dock, seal the two ends of the segment with temporary sealing walls, then slide it into the water or release water in the dock to make it float in the water, and then tow it to the tunnel site. After positioning, load the pipe segment and make it sink into the pre-dug underwater foundation trench. The pipe segment is sunk section by section, and the adjacent pipe segments are connected by hydraulic crimping. The backfill is locked on both sides and the backfill is covered. Finally, the sealing wall is removed to connect the pipe segments to form an integral tunnel.

[0003] Immersed tube tunnels are affected by the complex underwater operating environment. In order to ensure that the pipe sections are sunk to the designed position and smoothly docked with adjacent pipe sections, it is necessary to obtain the spatial position and posture of the pipe sections to be sunk in real time during the sinking construction phase, and adopt effective measures to control stability. Compared with conventional equal-section pipe sections, variable-section pipe sections are more sensitive to water flow forces and construction loads due to the differences in longitudinal cross-sectional characteristics. Stability control during the sinking phase is difficult and the risk is relatively higher.

[0004] After literature research, it is found that the existing pipe section sinking devices have many restrictions. These devices are large in size, cost and difficult to use. At the same time, it is difficult to achieve fine control of the sinking posture, which seriously affects the convenience and controllability of pipe section sinking. In this case, the control of pipe section sinking cannot timely detect the inclination of the on-site pipe section, and the monitoring data cannot be fed back to the on-site construction personnel and devices in a timely and accurate manner. It is difficult for the device to adjust according to the real-time force and displacement conditions, and there is a great time lag.

[0005] CN 105649109 B discloses a tunnel winch-type pipe segment sinking and lowering device using a immersed tube method, comprising a winch, a winch drum partition steel plate, a steel wire rope, a fixed multi-wheel pulley, a movable multi-wheel pulley, and a fixed single-wheel pulley. The middle of the winch drum is divided into left and right sides by a steel plate. One end of the steel wire rope is fixed to one side of the winch drum, and the other end is fixed to the other side of the winch drum after passing through a fixed pulley and a movable pulley. The winch is started to recover the remaining steel wire rope, the movable multi-wheel pulley is connected to the immersed tube segment, and the winch is started again to tighten the steel wire rope to achieve a stressed state. It can be found that: this application does not solve the problem that the current sinking device is large in size and difficult to use. First, the device requires a large space to supply the winch platform, which is difficult to achieve in the restricted environment of the city. Secondly, this application cannot control the swing of the submerged tube during the sinking process, and lacks real-time monitoring and control devices. It is impossible to monitor and control the roll problem that is prone to occur in variable-section pipe sections in a timely manner. At the same time, it is difficult to ensure the stable settlement of the pipe section due to water flow disturbances, which can easily cause the sinking position of the submerged tube to deviate from the predetermined position.

[0006] CN 109056817 A discloses a water bag ballast method for immersed tube tunnel construction, comprising the following steps: S1: according to the buoyancy of the immersed tube, calculate the number and placement of water bags in the water bag ballast system; S2: arrange and install the water bag ballast system in the immersed tube; S3: store water in the water bag for leak detection; S4: when the immersed tube is floated and sunk, control and adjust the negative buoyancy and posture of the immersed tube during the lateral movement, floating and sinking installation in the dock by storing and draining water in the water bag; S5: after the installation of the immersed tube is completed, remove the water bag ballast system. It can be found that: for variable cross-section pipe sections, due to the limitation of water filling, the application cannot solve the imbalance problem of the variable cross-section pipe sections during the sinking process, cannot monitor and control the sinking posture in real time, and is difficult to maintain the sinking stability of the variable cross-section pipe sections.

[0007] CN 110206067 B discloses a device for adjusting the position of a pipe section of an immersed tunnel, including a locking frame and an adjusting frame. Through reasonable structural design, the position of the pipe section of the immersed tunnel can be accurately adjusted by control, and the device is not affected by the complex underwater working environment. The working time is short, the working efficiency is improved, and the safety of the operating personnel is ensured. It can be found that the device is difficult to adjust and control the roll problem of the variable cross-section pipe section, and it is impossible to control the uniform sinking process of the variable cross-section pipe section and the sinking rate at the same time. In addition, the device requires a large space, is difficult to install, has a high cost, and is difficult to implement.

[0008] In summary, the current pipe segment sinking device rarely acts on the variable cross-section pipe segment first, and the existing device has the problems of difficult construction, delayed real-time control effect, large volume, cost, difficulty in use, and difficulty in controlling the side wall of the variable cross-section pipe segment. Therefore, it is difficult to use it in actual engineering and achieve the desired effect. There is a lack of a sinking device specifically for variable cross-section pipe segments that is easy to control, easy to implement, occupies a small space, and has a low cost. Therefore, in order to solve the above variable cross-section pipe segment sinking control problems, a variable cross-section pipe segment sinking positioning device system and method are proposed. Summary of the invention

When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0043] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, a variable cross-section pipe segment sinking and positioning system, the variable cross-section pipe segment sinking and positioning system comprises a total transmission wheel 4, an intelligent gyroscope 15, a submerged pipe segment driven wheel 9 installed on the variable cross-section submerged pipe segment 5, an underwater driven wheel 10 installed on the underwater base trench 11, and a mooring transmission device 8 between the submerged pipe segment driven wheel 9 and the underwater driven wheel 10; the total transmission wheel 4 is arranged on an adjacent shore or on a ship 2; the intelligent gyroscope 15 is arranged on the upper part of the variable cross-section submerged pipe segment 5 to monitor the floating state of the variable cross-section submerged pipe segment 5 in real time; the mooring transmission device 8 is a separate transmission system at the driven wheel at different plane positions, and the mooring transmission device 8 at each driven wheel is connected to the total transmission wheel 4 to ensure The rotation lengths of all mooring cables are consistent, and water is injected into the ballast water tank 6 inside the variable-section immersed tube segment 5 for sinking. During the sinking process, the inclination posture of the variable-section immersed tube segment 5 is measured by the intelligent gyroscope 15, and the stress on each mooring cable is measured. The mooring force for adjusting the inclination posture to balance is obtained through the calculation terminal. Among them, two intelligent gyroscopes 15 are arranged at the diagonals of the variable-section immersed tube segment 5, and the inclination angles of the two diagonals of the pipe section in the xy direction are measured respectively. The inclination posture of the entire immersed tube tunnel is determined by the inclination angles of the two diagonals in the xy direction; and the total transmission wheel 4 is driven to rotate, so that the vertical displacement at each position of the variable-section immersed tube segment 5 is consistent, thereby achieving the sinking balance of the variable-section immersed tube segment 5. The present invention uses the displacement balance of the mooring cable to control the uniform sinking of the variable-section immersed pipe section 5. At the same time, through the axial force displacement monitoring device on the total transmission wheel 4, each mooring cable is in a just taut posture. When there is uneven sinking, it is monitored by the intelligent gyroscope 15, and the mooring cable at the slower sinking position is calculated by the algorithm to obtain the balance force corresponding to the roll posture, so as to level the overall structure. Specifically, after the tilt posture of the pipe section is measured, the differential displacement value at each corner of the pipe section is known, and then the mooring force is applied to the highest point of the pipe section according to the differential displacement value. The magnitude of the force is determined according to the required acceleration and the distance between the point and the center of gravity, that is, the balance point of the entire pipe section changes after tilting. Then, assuming that the balance point is fixed, the difference in the bending moment from the gravity on both sides to the balance point is divided by the distance from the force value to the balance point, and the total torque from the gravity on the left and right sides of the balance point to this point is 0. If it is necessary to accelerate the process, this force can be increased, and the acceleration is the increase divided by m.
