Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of subway tunnel segments, and in particular to a production process for subway tunnel segments. Background Art

[0002] Subway tunnel segments are key components in shield tunnel construction. They serve as the tunnel's innermost barrier, resisting soil pressure, groundwater pressure, and other special loads. Subway tunnel segments are typically made of high-strength, impermeable concrete to ensure reliable load-bearing and waterproof properties.

[0003] At present, the traditional production method of subway tunnel segments usually adopts mold casting. During operation, it is necessary to close the mold first, then pour concrete into the mold, and vibrate the mold at the same time until the concrete in the mold is completely filled and there are no bubbles. The concrete surface is then treated. After the concrete reaches sufficient strength, the surface is plastered. After the concrete solidifies, the mold is opened for finishing and finally demolding is performed to make the finished segment.

[0004] The traditional production method of subway tunnel segments is adopted, and the various production steps are not consistent enough. In addition, the mold needs to be cleaned and maintained after use before it can be used next time, which will cause the entire production process to be interrupted. In addition, the mold needs to be transported by a cart throughout the entire production process, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, resulting in low production efficiency, high production costs, and unstable quality.
