Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tunnel construction, in particular to a side-top arch steel formwork trolley which travels on different sections of a lining tunnel. Background Art
[0002] As the country increases its investment in infrastructure, in addition to the large-scale construction of tunnels for high-speed railways and highways, more deep and long-distance water supply and diversion tunnels are widely used, and tunnels for other purposes are also gradually increasing their construction efforts. The requirements for tunnel lining are also higher than those for conventional tunnels. The steel formwork trolley used for concrete lining construction on the inner wall of the tunnel is an indispensable non-standard product for secondary lining during tunnel construction.
[0003] Traditionally used steel formwork trolleys include bottom formwork needle beam type, side top arch type, full circle type, etc. Conventional side top arch type steel formwork trolleys are used for linings with simple structures; but now tunnel lining structures used for different purposes are more complex and diverse in form. For example, in the secondary lining of TBM excavation tunnels, the bottom plate and small side walls are cast in advance before the side top arch lining, and the lining section is also complex and varied depending on the different rock conditions; therefore, conventional side top arch steel formwork trolleys have obvious limitations, and it is difficult to move in tunnels of different sizes, resulting in construction delays and high cost investment. Summary of the invention

[0011] Furthermore, the upper template includes two arc-shaped steel templates, and the two arc-shaped steel templates are fixedly connected to the horizontal columns and vertical columns of the top template frame.
[0012] Furthermore, the middle formwork and the lower formwork are both an arc-shaped steel formwork, and the middle formwork is installed on the upper longitudinal beam and the side formwork through beam of the side formwork support assembly through a number of side formwork upper support arms and a number of side formwork middle support arms; the lower formwork is installed on the side formwork through beam and lower longitudinal beam of the side formwork support assembly through a number of side formwork middle support arms and a number of side formwork lower support arms.

[0031] Further, as a preferred technical solution of this embodiment, in order to ensure the stability of the side mold support assembly 9, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the lower longitudinal beams 24 on both sides of the portal main structure 1 in this embodiment are connected by eight coaxially arranged lower longitudinal beam support screw rods 25 that transversely penetrate the portal main structure 1.

It should be noted that the side and top arch type steel mold trolley can be equipped with a stepping cylinder at the gantry column 6 to meet the stepping movement of the side and top arch type steel mold trolley; other technical means can also be used, such as cooperating with a rail car to achieve stepping movement along the tunnel; the movement of the steel mold trolley is a conventional technology in this field and will not be described in detail here.
