Some of the block diagrams shown in the drawings are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities.
[0044] First, the internal flange connection structure of the present application will be described. As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the internal flange connection structure includes: a first internal flange plate 100, a second internal flange plate 200, a lining pipe 300, and a plurality of rib plates 400. A plurality of the rib plates 400 and a plurality of positioning holes 500 are provided on both the first internal flange plate 100 and the second internal flange plate 200. The lining pipe 300 is inserted through the inner holes of the first internal flange plate 100 and the second internal flange plate 200, and the first internal flange plate 100 and the second internal flange plate 200 are connected by the lining pipe 300.
[0045] In this example embodiment, a processing method for the internal flange connection structure of a steel pipe arch is provided. Please refer to Figure 3 , the processing method includes:
[0046] S101, designing and processing process quantities in the thickness direction of the internal flange plate and the inner hole diameter of the internal flange plate;
[0047] S102, Drill all the positioning holes 500 on the first inner flange 100(A) and some of the positioning holes 500 on the second inner flange 200(A’).
[0048] S103, Using the first inner flange 100 as a template, fix the first inner flange 100 and the second inner flange 200 with a fixture, and drill the remaining positioning holes 500 on the second inner flange 200.
[0049] S104, Conduct paired machining on the mating surfaces of the first inner flange 100 and the second inner flange 200.
[0050] S105, Take the machined first inner flange 100 and the second inner flange 200 as an assembled part, assemble the rib plate 400 on the first inner flange 100, and install the inner liner pipe 300 between the first inner flange 100 and the second inner flange 200.
[0051] S106, After installing the assembled part onto the steel pipe arch rib segment, assemble the rib plate 400 on the second inner flange 200.
[0052] In this embodiment, when processing the inner flange connection structure of the present application, a close-fitting paired machining method is adopted, which greatly improves the close-fitting performance of the inner flange; installing the two inner flanges as an assembled part during factory manufacturing reduces the difficulty of on-site construction; after installing the assembled part onto the steel pipe arch rib segment, assembling the rib plate 400 on the second inner flange 200 greatly improves the assembly accuracy of the steel pipe arch rib; the processing technology of the present application does not require additional investment compared with the traditional technology and is simple and easy to operate.
[0053] It should be noted that the inner flange connection structure and the processing and installation methods of the present application are applicable to the connection of long-span half-through steel pipe arches.
[0054] Next, the specific situations involved in each step of the above processing method will be described.
[0055] Please refer to Figure 4 , in S101, design the machining allowance in the thickness direction of the inner flange and the inner diameter of the inner flange hole. Designing the machining allowance in the thickness direction of the inner flange helps subsequent machining of the mating surface of the inner flange, and designing the assembly allowance in the inner diameter of the inner flange hole can ensure the tolerance fit of the subsequent installed inner liner pipe 300. Specifically, the machining allowance in the thickness direction of the inner flange is 3 - 5 mm, and the machining allowance designed for the inner diameter of the inner flange hole is 5 - 7 mm. Figure 4 In "", "set" represents the designed amount, "+6" represents the inner diameter assembly fit allowance, and "+4" represents the machining allowance designed in the thickness direction of the inner flange.
[0056] In S102, first draw the center lines of the two inner flange plates, i.e., Figure 5 the cross lines in. First, drill all the positioning holes 500 on the first inner flange plate 100. The number of the positioning holes 500 can be 8, which are evenly distributed on the inner flange plate. Then, drill some of the positioning holes 500 on the second inner flange plate 200, that is, process the positioning holes 500 on the center line of the second inner flange plate 200.
[0057] In S103, when fixing the two inner flange plates with a fixture, a punch fixture 30 can be used to pass through the positioning holes 500 of the two inner flange plates for fixation, and then drill the remaining positioning holes 500 on the second inner flange plate 200.
[0058] In S104, when performing paired machining on the mating surfaces of the two inner flange plates, first machine the mating surface of the first inner flange plate 100, and then machine the mating surface of the second inner flange plate 200. During the machining process, use a feeler gauge to detect the mating degree of the mating surfaces of the two inner flange plates. The gap between the inner flange plates is below 0.2 mm. In addition, the surface roughness can be controlled between 10 and 15 μm, for example, it can be 12.5 μm.
[0059] In S105, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , use a fastening fixture 40 to fix and tighten the machined first inner flange plate 100 and the second inner flange plate 200 to obtain an assembled part. Then assemble the rib plate 400 on the first inner flange plate 100, and then install the inner lining pipe 300 onto the first inner flange plate 100. The inner flange connection structure is designed to be inserted into the arch rib segment. To facilitate the smooth assembly of the assembled part to the arch rib segment of the arch bridge, a reasonable process allowance is designed for the rib plate 400. The machining process allowance of the rib plate 400 is 2 to 4 mm. In addition, the shape of the rib plate 400 is a polygon. Figure 7 In, "set" is the designed amount, and "-2" is the machining process allowance.
[0060] In S106, please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 , after installing the assembled part to the steel pipe arch rib segment, assemble the rib plate 400 on the second inner flange plate 200. The specific process is as follows: first assemble the assembled part and the first arch rib segment 10 in the processing factory, then assemble the first arch rib segment 10 onto the assembled part, and assemble the rib plate 400 on the second inner flange plate 200.

[0064] S203. Remove the fixture on the said assembly to complete the installation of the inner flange connection structure.
[0065] After using the said assembly to assemble the second arch rib segment 20, detect the compliance of the designed linearity. After passing the detection, assemble the rib plates 400 of the second inner flange 200.
[0066] In this embodiment, innovative technology is adopted to assemble the first inner flange 100 and the second inner flange 200 as an assembly to the arch rib segment, solving the following problems: a) The technical problem that the inner flange structure has many parts and is difficult to assemble; b) The inner flange structure is processed as an assembly, and the inner flange tightness is reliable; c) After the inner flange structure assembly is processed and assembled to the arch rib segment, the on-site assembly workload is reduced and the construction efficiency is improved.
