[0003] Based on the problems of high cost, long construction period and inconvenient installation and disassembly of the existing underwater tower crane foundation structure, the applicant conducted research and development and applied for this patent. Summary of the invention

[0004] Therefore, in view of the above problems, the present invention proposes an underwater tower crane foundation structure, which solves the technical problems of high cost, long construction period and inconvenient installation and disassembly in the prior art. Based on this, a construction method of the underwater tower crane foundation structure is also proposed.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an underwater tower crane foundation structure, comprising at least four cross beam legs arranged on a cap, a cross steel beam arranged on the cross beam legs, and a foundation section connecting leg arranged at the center of the cross steel beam;

[0006] The cross beam leg comprises a leg bottom plate, a leg top plate and a leg round tube connected between the leg bottom plate and the leg top plate, a plurality of leg stiffening plates are arranged by welding between the leg bottom plate and the leg top plate and around the circumference of the leg round tube, the leg bottom plate is provided with a leg bolt hole, and the leg bottom plate is connected to the anchor bolts embedded on the cap through the leg bolt hole;

[0007] The cross steel beam comprises a main beam and two sections of secondary beams perpendicularly staggered with the main beam, the two ends of the main beam are respectively connected to the leg top plates of two of the cross beam legs, the main beam is formed by splicing two H-shaped steels, a plurality of first stiffening plates are arranged in the recessed part of the H-shaped steel on the side of the main beam, and second stiffening plates are arranged on the peripheral sides of the two ends of the main beam, the second stiffening plates are trapezoidal plates narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and the lower end of the second stiffening plate is partially or completely connected to the leg top plates of the cross beam legs, and the two sections of secondary beams are respectively located on the main beam. On both sides of the main beam, the secondary beam is formed by splicing two H-shaped steels, one end of the secondary beam is arranged on the top plate of the leg of one of the cross beam legs, and the other end of the secondary beam is connected to the middle part of the main beam by welding, and a plurality of third stiffening plates are arranged on the side of the secondary beam in the recessed part of the H-shaped steel, and a plurality of fourth stiffening plates are arranged on the peripheral side of one end of the secondary beam connected to the cross beam supporting leg, the fourth stiffening plate is a trapezoidal plate which is narrow on the top and wide on the bottom, and the lower end of the fourth stiffening plate is partially or completely connected to the top plate of the leg of the cross beam leg.

[0008] Furthermore, a reinforcing square tube is connected and arranged between the side surfaces of the main beam and the side surfaces of each secondary beam and near the middle of the main beam, and each reinforcing square tube surrounds the middle of the main beam to form a square frame.

[0009] Furthermore, the square frame has at least two layers.

[0010] Furthermore, the base section connecting leg includes a connecting square tube, connecting stiffening plates welded on four surfaces of the connecting square tube, and a connecting top plate welded on the upper end surfaces of the connecting square tube and the connecting stiffening plates, and the connecting top plate is used to connect to the tower crane.

[0011] Furthermore, the main beam and the secondary beam are respectively provided with lifting ears for connection and fixation during lifting.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a pressure monitoring system, which includes a pressure sensor installed at the embedded anchor bolts of the pedestal or on the bottom plate of the cross beam leg. The pressure sensor is used to accurately measure and feedback the stress conditions of the structure and feed back to the pressure monitoring system. When the pressure exceeds a preset safety range, the pressure monitoring system automatically sends a warning signal to ensure the safety of the tower crane foundation structure.

[0013] A construction method for an underwater tower crane foundation structure based on the same inventive concept comprises the following steps:

[0014] The first step is to construct the cap on the cofferdam, tie the steel bars and embed the anchor bolts, and pour the cap concrete;

[0019] Furthermore, the pressure monitoring system includes a pressure sensor installed at the embedded anchor bolts of the foundation or on the bottom plate of the cross beam leg.

[0020] Furthermore, the data of the pressure monitoring system is corrected by a data processing method. After removing the values ​​that exceed the average value by 25% from the measured real-time values, the average value of the data set is calculated again to obtain the corrected data, so as to improve the accuracy of the monitoring results.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0022] 1. This scheme proposes a new underwater tower crane foundation structure. The structure is mainly composed of at least four cross beam legs, a cross steel beam arranged on the cross beam legs, and a foundation joint connection leg located at the center of the cross steel beam. The stability of the cross beam structure is cleverly utilized, and the embedded anchor bolts on the cap are connected by bolts to achieve the stability and safety of the structure. The combined design of the cross beam legs and the cross steel beam reduces the use of steel, while improving the stability and bearing capacity of the structure.

[0023] This solution greatly reduces the construction difficulty and cost and improves construction efficiency. Secondly, the structure has high stability and load-bearing capacity, which can ensure the safety and stability of the tower crane during construction. In addition, due to the lightweight design and convenient connection method, the structure also reduces the difficulty and cost of hoisting and dismantling. Finally, the structure is also reusable to a certain extent, which is conducive to resource conservation and environmental protection.

[0024] 2. In the prior art, the foundation structure of the tower crane often lacks sufficient reinforcement measures, which makes it easy to deform when subjected to force, affecting construction safety and efficiency. This solution effectively enhances the overall stiffness of the structure and improves its anti-deformation ability by setting reinforced square tubes between the main beam and each secondary beam to form a square frame. This solution not only improves the stability and safety of the tower crane foundation structure, but also extends its service life and reduces maintenance costs. Traditional tower crane foundation structures often only consider single-layer reinforcement measures, which are difficult to meet the force requirements under complex working conditions. This solution further enhances the bearing capacity of the structure by designing at least two layers of square frames, so that it can better adapt to various complex working conditions.

[0025] 3. The connection parts of the traditional tower crane foundation structure are often simply designed and lack sufficient connection strength and stability. This solution optimizes the design of the foundation section connection legs, including connecting square tubes, connecting stiffening plates and connecting top plates, to enhance the strength and stability of the connection parts. This solution not only improves the overall bearing capacity of the tower crane foundation structure, but also reduces the safety risks caused by failure of the connection parts.

[0026] 4. Traditional tower crane foundation structures often lack real-time force monitoring methods during construction, making it difficult to detect safety hazards in a timely manner. This solution introduces a pressure monitoring system to monitor the stress of the structure in real time, so that safety hazards can be discovered in a timely manner and corresponding measures can be taken to ensure construction safety. The pressure monitoring system can achieve installation balance during the installation process and can also achieve effective detection during construction.

[0027] 5. This plan proposes a new construction method, which simplifies the construction steps and improves the construction efficiency by optimizing the construction process. At the same time, this method also ensures the construction quality and safety, and provides a strong guarantee for the rapid construction of the underwater tower crane foundation structure.

[0028] 6. The construction method of the traditional tower crane foundation structure often lacks effective monitoring means during the installation process, making it difficult to ensure the installation quality. This solution ensures the stability and safety of the installation quality by using a pressure monitoring system to monitor the structure in real time during the installation process. This design not only improves the construction efficiency, but also provides strong support for subsequent construction work.

[0029] 7. The pressure monitoring system also includes a data acquisition module, a data processing module and a display module. The data acquisition module is used to acquire data from the pressure sensor, the data processing module is used to process the data acquired by the data acquisition module, and the display module is used to display the data processed by the data processing module. This solution accurately acquires and processes the data of the pressure monitoring system by introducing components such as the data acquisition module, the data processing module and the display module, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of the monitoring data. This design not only provides strong support for safety control and quality control during the construction process.

[0030] 8. This scheme processes the data by removing outliers and then calculating the average value, thus obtaining more accurate and stable monitoring data. This design not only improves the accuracy and reliability of monitoring data, but also provides more accurate data support for safety control and quality control during the construction process.
