Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of shield tunnel construction, and in particular relates to a shield segment socket-and-spigot connection structure and a construction method. Background Art
[0002] Shield construction is an advanced method of tunnel excavation underground, which is widely used in urban subway, municipal pipeline, underwater tunnel and other engineering construction. During the advancement of the shield machine, the tunnel lining structure is formed by assembling segments. As the main supporting structure of the shield tunnel, the segment connection structure is crucial to the stability, waterproofness and durability of the entire tunnel. With the acceleration of urbanization and the increasing demand for underground space development, the number of shield tunnel projects is increasing, and the performance requirements for the segment connection structure are also increasing.
[0003] In early shield tunnel projects, traditional bolt connections were used. Bolt holes were reserved on the segments and adjacent segments were connected together using high-strength bolts. This connection method can provide high connection strength and can withstand various loads during the construction and use of the tunnel, such as soil pressure and groundwater pressure. However, bolt connections also have some limitations. On the one hand, the installation of bolts requires a large operating space, which increases the difficulty of construction in some small-diameter shield tunnels or when space is limited. On the other hand, bolts are prone to corrosion in a humid underground environment for a long time, affecting the reliability and durability of the connection. Moreover, bolt connections may become loose under special working conditions such as earthquakes, reducing the overall stability of the tunnel. It requires multiple people to use tools such as wrenches to operate, which is inefficient and inconvenient to operate. Another method is the mortise and tenon connection method. The mortise and tenon connection uses the tenon and the mortise on the segment to cooperate with each other to achieve connection. This connection method has a certain positioning function and can improve the assembly accuracy of the segment during assembly. At the same time, it can reduce the dependence on bolts and other connectors to a certain extent, making the segment connection simpler. However, the bearing capacity of the mortise and tenon connection is relatively limited. Under high pressure, the tenon or the mortise may be damaged. Moreover, its waterproof performance mainly depends on the sealing material between the mortise and tenon. If the sealing material is aged or damaged, leakage problems are likely to occur.

[0034] Embodiment 1
[0035] As an example, Figures 1 to 10 As shown, this shield segment socket connection structure, the single ring segment includes: segment self-locking system, standard segment system, adjacent segment system and capping segment system.
[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, the standard segment system includes a standard block 10, and several standard blocks 10 are spliced by the segment self-locking system; the adjacent segment systems are assembled at both ends of the standard segment system by the segment self-locking system, and the capping segment system is installed between the two adjacent segment systems; the adjacent single-ring segments are spliced longitudinally by the segment self-locking system;
[0037] like Figure 1As shown, the segment self-locking system includes a slot 1 and a prefabricated latch component 6; the slot 1 is symmetrically provided with a slide groove 9 along the circumferential direction of the segment, and an embedded block 4, a spring 5, a movable slider 3 and a limit block 2 are arranged in sequence in the slide groove 9 toward the center of the slot 1; a reserved grouting pipe 8 is provided at the center of the prefabricated latch component 6, one end of the reserved grouting pipe 8 extends along the longitudinal direction of the segment, and the other end is connected to the reserved grouting port 7 on the inner wall of the segment; the prefabricated latch component 6 is provided with a groove corresponding to the shape of the end of the limit block 2 on the circumferential direction.
[0038] like Figures 6 to 9 As shown, the standard segment system includes a standard block 10, and the standard block 10 is provided with two groups of segment self-locking systems along the circumferential and longitudinal side walls respectively; the capping segment system includes a capping block 14, and the capping block 14 is provided with a group of segment self-locking systems along the longitudinal side wall, and a bolt insertion hole 13 is provided along the circumferential side wall; the adjacent segment system includes an adjacent block 11, and the adjacent block 11 is provided with a group of segment self-locking systems along the longitudinal side wall, and a segment self-locking system and a bolt insertion hole 13 are provided along the circumferential side wall, wherein the segment self-locking system is used to connect with the standard block 10, and the bolt insertion hole 13 is used to connect with the capping block 14.
[0039] Embodiment 2
[0040] As another embodiment, this embodiment 2 proposes a more specific shield segment socket-type connection structure based on the embodiment 1, and the structure of the slot 1 and the prefabricated latch member 6 is specifically as follows:
[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, the limit block 2 includes a side baffle 2-1 and a trapezoidal end head 2-2, the side baffle 2-1 is in contact with the inner wall of the slide groove 9, the trapezoidal end head 2-2 is exposed in the slot 1, and the inclined surface of the trapezoidal end head 2-2 faces the entrance end of the slot 1.
[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, a spring connecting end 15 is further provided at the top of the embedded block 4 and the bottom of the movable slider 3 , and the upper and lower ends of the spring 5 are respectively clamped on the spring connecting ends 15 of the embedded block 4 and the movable slider 3 .
[0043] like Figure 4As shown, the length of the prefabricated plug component 6 is consistent with the depth of the slot 1, and the prefabricated plug component 6 also includes a plug end 6-1, a plug middle 6-2 and a plug tail 6-3; the plug end 6-1 is in the shape of a truncated cone, and the angle of the truncated cone is consistent with the trapezoidal end 2-2. This design can reduce friction and ensure that the prefabricated plug component 6 can be quickly inserted during installation.

[0045] It should be noted that the parts in this embodiment that are the same or similar to those in the first embodiment can be referenced to each other and will not be described in detail in this application.
[0046] Embodiment 3
[0047] As another embodiment, this embodiment 3 proposes, based on the embodiments 1 and 2, that the construction method of the shield segment socket connection structure comprises the following steps:
[0048] Step 1: Connect several standard blocks 10 along the annular direction through the segment self-locking system to form a standard segment system;
[0049] Step 2: Connect the standard segment system and the adjacent segment system along the annular direction through the segment self-locking system;
[0050] Step 3: Connect the capping block 14 and the adjacent pipe segment system through the bolt insertion hole 13 along the annular direction with arc-shaped bolts to complete the assembly of the single-ring pipe segment;
[0051] Step 4: Repeat steps 1 to 3 to complete the splicing of the next ring of single-ring segments, and push them longitudinally as a whole to complete the assembly with the previous ring of single-ring segments. As the shield starts to dig, continue to assemble the next ring of segments.
[0052] In step 1 to step 4, during the segment connection operation, the prefabricated latch member 6 moves into the slot 1 under the action of the mechanical arm, and the latch end 6-1 contacts the trapezoidal end 2-2, exerting pressure on the stop block 2, causing the spring 5 to shrink and deform, while the movable slider 3 moves inward in the slide slot 9 with the spring 5 compressed. As the latch end 6-1 completely passes through the trapezoidal end 2-2, the cylinder diameter of the middle part 6-2 of the latch is reduced, and it is no longer possible to exert pressure on the stop block 2, and the spring 5 returns to its initial natural state, at which time the trapezoidal end 2-2 is exposed in the slot 1 and is fixed in the middle part 6-2 of the latch.
[0053] After the pipe segments are connected, grouting is performed through the reserved grouting opening 7 and the reserved grouting pipe 8 on the inner side of the pipe segment to fill the gap between the slot 1 and the prefabricated plug member 6. Fig.10 As shown, the prepared slurry is transported to the gap of the segment self-locking system through the reserved grouting port 7 and the reserved grouting pipeline 8, so that the connection part forms an integral structure. This can not only enhance the stability of the connection between the segments, but also effectively improve the shear resistance of the segments and avoid the dislocation of the segments.
[0054] At the same time, water-stop sealing strips are provided when the standard blocks 10, the adjacent blocks 11 and the capping blocks 14 are spliced together to further enhance the waterproof performance of the pipe segments.
[0055] It should be noted that the parts in this embodiment that are the same or similar to those in Embodiments 1 and 2 can be referenced to each other and will not be described in detail in this application.
[0056] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other.
