Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of earth excavation, and in particular to an assembled steel support structure for earth excavation of a large-span deep foundation pit of an airport. Background Art

[0002] In the construction of large-scale projects such as airports and subway stations, the excavation and support of large-span deep foundation pits are critical to ensuring construction safety. Prefabricated steel support structures are widely used in deep foundation pit support projects due to their advantages such as rapid construction and reusability. Traditional steel support structures typically consist of steel support pipes, steel purlins, and steel brackets. Steel purlins are constructed on the side walls of the foundation pit, and steel brackets are installed on them. The ends of the steel support pipes are mounted on the steel brackets on both sides of the foundation pit, forming lateral support for the side walls of the foundation pit to resist soil pressure and control foundation pit deformation.

[0003] However, in the process of implementing relevant technical solutions, at least the following technical problems were found: when the assemblers hoisted the steel support pipe onto the steel bracket, it was difficult for the assemblers to observe the position of the steel support pipe on the steel bracket with the naked eye, and the steel support pipe was difficult to be centered on the steel bracket, resulting in an offset. Due to the heavy weight of the steel support pipe, the assemblers would no longer move the steel support pipe to center it, resulting in local stress concentration on the steel bracket when the steel support pipe applied lateral support to the steel bracket. Under the action of long-term eccentric loads, the welds, bolted joints or local steel plates of the steel bracket may crack, deform or even suffer brittle failure due to stress concentration, affecting the overall stability of the support system. Under dynamic loads, such as excavator vibration and earth excavation impact, the eccentric support may become unstable, and in severe cases may even cause the steel support to slip or collapse, threatening the safety of the foundation pit.

[0021] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, the technical solution of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The prefabricated steel support structure for excavation of large-span deep foundation pits at airports is mainly used for the support engineering of large-span deep foundation pits in the construction of airport tunnels. The prefabricated steel support structure includes a steel purlin 1, a steel bracket 2, a steel support pipe 3, a flexible head 4, a centering mechanism 5, and a support frame 6. Each steel bracket 2 is installed with a centering mechanism 5. Steel purlins 1 are constructed on the side walls on both sides of the length direction of the tunnel foundation pit. The steel purlins 1 are usually made of H-shaped steel or composite steel, and are fixed to the supporting piles or underground continuous walls by anchor rods or welding. Several steel brackets 2 are detachably connected along the length direction of the steel purlin 1 according to design requirements. The steel support pipe 3 is spliced ​​by multiple steel pipes according to design requirements. Flexible heads 4 are installed at both ends of the steel support pipe 3, and the flexible heads 4 are placed on the steel bracket 2. The support frame 6 is placed in the pit foundation. The support frame 6 is used to support the steel support pipe 3. The support frame 6 adopts a socket-type disc-type steel pipe bracket.

[0023] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The steel bracket 2 is mainly composed of a vertical back plate 21, a horizontal bracing plate 22, and a triangular plate 23. The vertical back plate 21 is set vertically and connected to the steel purlin 1 by welding or bolts. The horizontal bracing plate 22 is perpendicular to the bottom edge of the vertical back plate 21. The top of the vertical back plate 21 needs to extend above the steel purlin 1 to a certain height, which can be 300-500mm, to facilitate the installation of the pull-up assembly 52 in the centering mechanism 5. The horizontal bracing plate 22 is used to support the movable head 4. Its width is greater than the width of the movable head 4 to ensure stable support.

[0024] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5The centering mechanism 5 is mounted on the vertical back plate 21. It is used to center the steel support tube 3 on the steel bracket 2. The centering mechanism 5 includes two symmetrically arranged side push assemblies 51 and a set of pull-up assemblies 52. The two sets of side push assemblies 51 are symmetrically arranged on the side wall of the vertical back plate 21 facing the steel support tube 3. The side push assemblies 51 include a vertical push plate 511, an adapter block 512, a connecting rod assembly 513, and a connecting rod 514. The vertical push plate 511 is vertically arranged above the horizontal support plate 22, and the vertical push plate 511 is used to contact the side of the active head 4; the adapter block 512 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the vertical back plate 21 that contacts the active head 4, and the adapter block 512 is close to the side of the vertical back plate 21, and adapter blocks 512 are correspondingly provided at both ends of the vertical push plate 511; connecting rod groups 513 are provided between the two ends of the vertical push plate 511 and the two adapter blocks 512, and the two groups of connecting rod groups 513 are used to push the vertical push plate 511 horizontally.

[0025] Reference Figure 4 A hinge groove 5111 is provided in the middle of the side wall near the end of the vertical push plate 511. The connecting rod group 513 includes connecting rod 1 5131, connecting rod 2 5132, and connecting rod 3 5133. One end of connecting rod 1 5131 is hinged to the adapter block 512, and the other end faces the vertical push plate 511; one end of connecting rod 2 5132 is hinged to the end of connecting rod 1 5131 away from the adapter block 512, and the other end faces the vertical push plate 511; one end of connecting rod 3 5133 is hinged to the end of connecting rod 2 5132 away from connecting rod 2 5132, and the other end is hinged to the vertical push plate 511 and hinged in the hinge groove 5111 of the vertical push plate 511. Connecting rod 3 5133 and connecting rod 1 5131 are always parallel. Among them, the connecting rod 514 in each group of the side push assembly 51 is hinged between connecting rod 2 5132 in the upper and lower connecting rod groups 513.

[0026] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5The pull-up assembly 52 includes a slide rail 521, a slider 522, a pull rod 523, a pull rope 524, a cross bar 525, a spring 526, and a limit block 527. The slide rail 521 is fixed to the middle of the side wall of the vertical back plate 21; the slider 522 is slidably connected to the slide rail 521; two pull rods 523 are provided and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the slider 522. The two pull rods 523 are respectively connected to the vertical push plates 511 of the side push assemblies 51 on both sides. One end of the pull rod 523 is hinged to the slider 522, and the other end is hinged to the vertical push plate 511. The vertical back plate 21 is provided with a square hole 211 at the top position of the vertical push plate 511. The hinge axis between the vertical push plate 511 and the pull rod 523 passes through the square hole 211; one end of the pull rope 524 is fixed to the slider 522, and the other end is used by the assembler standing on the ground to pull up. A crossbar 525 is fixed to the vertical back plate 21. The crossbar 525 is located at the bottom of the slide rail 521, with its two ends positioned on either side of the slide rail 521. Two springs 526 are provided, one on each side of the slide rail 521, with one end fixed to the crossbar 525 and the other to the bottom of the slider 522. When not under the action of an external force, the springs 526 pull down the slide rail 521. In this state, the distance between the two vertical push plates 511 is at its maximum, and this distance is greater than the width of the movable head 4. A stop block 527 is fixed to the top of the slide rail 521 and is fixedly connected to the vertical back plate 21.

[0027] Before installing the steel bracket 2, the centering mechanism 5 needs to be pre-debugged to ensure smooth movement of the vertical push plate 511 without any jamming. Check whether the elasticity of the spring 526 is normal to avoid failure of the spring 526 to cause the vertical push plate 511 to be unable to reset.

[0028] This application can explain its functional principles through the following operation methods:

[0029] Initial hoisting: Use a crane to lift the steel support pipe 3 into the foundation pit, with both ends aligned with the steel brackets 2 on both sides. Due to the heavy weight of the steel support pipe 3, it needs to be lowered slowly during hoisting to avoid impacting the steel bracket 2.

[0030] Place the steel support tube 3: Initially place the movable heads 4 at both ends of the steel support tube 3 on the horizontal support plate 22. At this time, due to the action of the spring 526, the vertical push plates 511 on both sides are in an outward expansion state, and the movable heads 4 can smoothly enter the space between the vertical push plates 511 on both sides.

[0031] Centering adjustment: The construction personnel pull the pull rope 524 to move the slider 522 upward along the slide rail 521, driving the pull rod 523 to retract inward. The pull rod 523 is connected to the vertical push plate 511 through the square hole 211, thereby pushing the vertical push plates 511 on both sides to move synchronously toward the middle. The vertical push plates 511 are pushed smoothly through the connecting rod group 513 to ensure that the active head 4 is evenly pushed to the center position of the steel bracket 2. When the active head 4 is completely centered, stop pulling the pull rope 524. At this time, the steel support pipe 3 is in the center position.

[0032] Locking and inspection: Check whether the steel support tube 3 is completely centered. If necessary, fine-tune the pull rope 524 to ensure accurate positioning.

[0033] In this way, the centering mechanism 5 is used to force the steel support pipe 3 to be placed in the center, reducing the offset problem caused by traditional lifting relying on manual visual inspection, significantly reducing the stress concentration in the welds or bolt connections of the steel bracket 2, preventing local cracking or deformation, and improving the overall stability of the support system. In addition, centering can be completed by operating the pull rope 524 on the ground, reducing the risk of high-altitude adjustment operations, modular components, detachable steel brackets 2, and standard steel support pipes 3 to achieve rapid installation and reuse, shortening the construction period.

[0034] This application solves the hidden danger of eccentric stress of traditional steel supports through mechanical centering adjustment and modular design, and combines safety, efficiency and economy, providing reliable support for large-span deep foundation pit projects.

[0035] Obviously, those skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications to this application without departing from the spirit and scope of this application. Thus, if these modifications and variations of this application fall within the scope of the claims of this application and their equivalents, this application is intended to include these modifications and variations.

[0036] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the embodiment of the present application, but the scope of protection of the present application is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and concept of the present application within the technical scope disclosed in the present application, and they should be covered by the scope of protection of the present application.
