Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of bridge construction technology, specifically to a waterproof structure for a water-borne tower crane foundation and its construction method. Background Technology
[0002] Tower cranes are commonly used hoisting equipment during the construction of the superstructure of bridges spanning rivers and streams. The foundations of tower cranes used for bridges are generally set on a platform below the normal water level. Since the construction cycle of tower cranes generally goes through at least 1 to 2 rainy seasons or flood seasons, the tower crane foundations, some standard sections, and bolts below the ground are prone to corrosion due to long-term immersion in water, which is not easy to detect and poses a significant safety hazard.
[0003] Traditional construction methods involve installing steel casings on the tower crane foundation for protection. For tower cranes located in deep water, multiple sections of steel casings are joined together and welded. However, controlling the verticality and welding quality is difficult, the weld quality requirements are high, construction is challenging, and there are high safety risks. In addition, a large amount of steel is required, resulting in high project costs, low material reuse rates, and is not conducive to green and environmentally friendly construction. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a waterproof structure for the foundation of a water-borne tower crane and its construction method, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0011] Preferably, each of the vertical flange plates and the horizontal flange plates has an embedding groove on one side, and a plurality of sealing strips are respectively inserted into the plurality of embedding grooves.
[0012] Preferably, one side of the water-retaining steel formwork is provided with a support steel section by bolt connection, and the side of the bridge pier near the support steel section is provided with a support embedded part, and the end of the support steel section away from the water-retaining steel formwork is fixedly connected to the support embedded part.
[0013] Preferably, the water-retaining steel template is provided with several reinforcing ribs.
[0014] Preferably, several assembly boxes are respectively disposed on the four sides of the water-retaining steel template splicing. When the four water-retaining steel templates are assembled, the several assembly boxes will form two positioning and sealing boxes. A sealing groove is opened in the center of the positioning and sealing box. The mating combination plate is vertically inserted into the sealing groove. One side of each of the four assembly boxes is connected to the sealing groove and has a pull-out positioning groove. Four pull-out positioning blocks are symmetrically arranged on the four sides of the mating combination plate. The four pull-out positioning blocks are respectively inserted into the pull-out positioning grooves of the four assembly boxes, and the side of the pull-out positioning block inserted into the pull-out positioning groove is an inclined surface.
[0015] Preferably, the sealing groove has a through-groove groove on the inner side of the water-blocking cylinder formed by the water-blocking steel template. An adjusting seat is inserted through the center of the connecting plate. Two assembly bolts are inserted into both sides of the connecting plate. One side of each of the two assembly bolts is inserted into the two sides of the adjusting seat. Guide placement grooves are opened on both sides of the connecting plate at the adjusting seat. The two joint sealing plates are movably inserted into the two guide placement grooves. Combination grooves are opened on both sides of the adjusting seat. A threaded protrusion is provided at the center of one side of each joint sealing plate. The two threaded protrusions are movably inserted into the two grooves. A control screw is inserted through the center of the adjusting seat. A self-rotating constraint block is provided at the center of the adjusting seat at the center of the control screw.

[0017] A construction method for a waterproof structure for the foundation of a tower crane in water-related areas includes the following steps:
[0018] Step 1: When the tower crane foundation is being poured, with the tower crane as the center, embed the tower crane and enclosure pre-embedded seats in the tower crane foundation position, and at the same time, the pre-embedded bolts of the tower crane and enclosure pre-embedded seats should be embedded to a depth of not less than 30cm.
[0019] Step Two: Then, the water-retaining steel formwork is assembled with bolts using horizontal and vertical flange plates. During assembly, the sealing strip is filled into the mating position of adjacent water-retaining steel formwork. The water-retaining steel formwork is then bolted to the tower crane and the pre-embedded base of the enclosure. When assembling the upper and lower and left and right water-retaining steel formwork, the connecting combination plate can be hammered into the two adjacent assembly boxes to pull and position the two left and right assembled water-retaining steel formwork, which facilitates the subsequent bolt fixing of the vertical flange plate. When the upper water-retaining steel formwork is erected, the assembly box of the upper water-retaining steel formwork can be connected with the pull and positioning block of the connecting combination plate. When the upper water-retaining steel formwork descends with gravity, it promotes the rapid positioning of the two adjacent water-retaining steel formwork, which facilitates the bolt fixing connection of the two adjacent horizontal flange plates. Then, by rotating the control screw, the two joint sealing plates are pressed and sealed on both sides of the sealing groove. The number and height of the upper assembly are adjusted according to the water depth.
[0020] Step 3: After the water-retaining steel formwork is assembled, the support structure of the wall steel is erected to ensure the stability of the water-retaining cylinder after the water-retaining steel formwork is erected. Then, 20cm of sealing concrete is poured at the connection position between the water-retaining steel formwork, the tower crane, and the pre-embedded base of the enclosure, and then the tower crane can be erected later.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0022] For tower cranes located in deep water areas, this device can utilize the steel formwork left on the bridge piers to enclose the tower cranes. The modular structure and sealing components avoid quality and safety issues caused by uncontrollable welding quality. Then, the steel support structure supports the water-retaining steel formwork and the bridge piers, improving the overall rigidity and stability of the waterproof structure, reducing steel costs, and achieving a high material reuse rate, enabling green and environmentally friendly construction. In addition, the waterproof joint components can improve the assembly efficiency and the waterproof effect of the cross joints. Attached Figure Description

Vertical flange plates 7 and horizontal flange plates 6 are respectively provided on both sides and at the top and bottom ends of the water-retaining steel templates 5. Four adjacent water-retaining steel templates 5 are bolted together and fixed by the vertical flange plates 7 and the horizontal flange plates 6. The lower part of the water-retaining steel template 5... The horizontal flange plate 6 is bolted to the upper end of the tower crane and enclosure embedded seat 4. The horizontal flange plate 6 and the tower crane and enclosure embedded seat 4 covered by the upper end of the tower crane foundation 3 are provided with encapsulating concrete 10.

[0038] One side of the water-retaining steel formwork 5 is equipped with a support steel 9 connected by bolts. The side of the pier 2 closest to the support steel 9 is equipped with a support embedded part. The end of the support steel 9 away from the water-retaining steel formwork 5 is fixedly connected to the support embedded part. The support embedded part is pre-embedded on the pier 2. After the water-retaining cylinder built by the water-retaining steel formwork 5 is assembled, it is laterally supported. The pier 2 is used as the support point to ensure that the water-retaining cylinder composed of the water-retaining steel formwork 5 is stable and reliable.
[0039] Example 2: Based on Example 1, a waterproof joint assembly is provided. This assembly is located at the cross joint of the water-retaining steel formwork 5. The waterproof joint assembly includes a joint plate 12, two joint sealing plates 20, and four assembly boxes 11. Several assembly boxes 11 are respectively located on the four sides of the water-retaining steel formwork 5 joint.

When the docking combination plate 12 is connected to the positioning sealing box composed of the water-blocking steel template 5, the two adjacent water-blocking steel templates 5 can be aligned and pulled through the inclined surface, while ensuring the stable assembly of the water-blocking steel template 5.
[0040] A through-groove 22 is provided inside the water-blocking cylinder composed of water-blocking steel template 5 within the sealing groove 25. An adjusting seat 15 is inserted through the center of the connecting plate 12. Two assembly bolts 16 are inserted into both sides of the connecting plate 12, and one side of each assembly bolt 16 is inserted into the two sides of the adjusting seat 15. Guide placement grooves 19 are provided on both sides of the connecting plate 12 located at the adjusting seat 15.

The control screw 17 is inserted into the two joint sealing plates 20 with opposite threads. The area of the sealing plate 23 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the unjoined position of several sealing strips 8. When the joint sealing plate 20 pushes the sealing plate 23 to abut against the inner wall of the sealing groove 25, it covers the cross joint area formed by the water-blocking steel template 5, so as to avoid the waterproof effect when the sealing strip 8 cannot completely fill the cross joint during the assembly of the water-blocking steel template 5.
[0041] A construction method for a waterproof structure for the foundation of a tower crane in water-related areas includes the following steps:
[0042] Step 1: When the tower crane foundation is being poured, with the tower crane as the center, the tower crane and enclosure pre-embedded seat 4 is pre-embedded in the tower crane foundation 3, and the pre-embedded bolts of the tower crane and enclosure pre-embedded seat 4 are pre-embedded to a depth of not less than 30cm.
[0043] Step Two: Then, the water-retaining steel formwork 5 is assembled with bolts using the horizontal flange plate 6 and the vertical flange plate 7. During assembly, the sealing strip 8 is filled into the contact position of adjacent water-retaining steel formwork 5. Then, the water-retaining steel formwork 5 is bolted to the tower crane and the pre-embedded base 4 of the enclosure. When assembling the upper and lower and left and right water-retaining steel formwork 5, the mating combination plate 12 can be hammered into the two adjacent assembly boxes 11 to pull and position the two left and right assembled water-retaining steel formwork 5s, which facilitates the subsequent bolting of the vertical flange plate 7. When erecting the upper water-retaining steel formwork 5, the assembly box 11 of the upper water-retaining steel formwork 5 can be connected to... The tie positioning blocks 14 of the docking combination plate 12 are docked. When the upper water-blocking steel template 5 falls with gravity, it causes the two adjacent water-blocking steel templates 5 to be quickly positioned, which facilitates the bolt fixing connection of the two adjacent horizontal flange plates 6. Then, by rotating the control screw 17, the two joint sealing plates 20 press and seal the two sides of the sealing groove 25 respectively, covering the cross joint area formed by the water-blocking steel template 5, so as to avoid the waterproof effect when the sealing strip 8 cannot completely fill the cross joint during the assembly of the water-blocking steel template 5. The number and height of the assembly are adjusted according to the water depth.
[0044] Step 3: After the water-retaining steel formwork 5 is assembled, the support structure 9 of the wall-supporting steel is erected to ensure the stability of the water-retaining cylinder after the water-retaining steel formwork 5 is erected. Then, 20cm of sealing concrete 10 is poured at the connection position between the water-retaining steel formwork 5 and the tower crane and the pre-embedded seat 4 of the enclosure, and then the tower crane can be erected later.
