Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of drainage box culverts, and in particular to a drainage box culvert. Background Art
[0002] A box culvert refers to a culvert whose tunnel body is constructed with reinforced concrete box-shaped pipe sections. Box culverts work well under static conditions and can cope with uneven settlement of the foundation, so they are often used as drainage structures in road projects.
[0003] Box culverts are typically cast-in-place. A base layer is set in the excavated trench, followed by a concrete cushion. Pre-fabricated rebar is then tied on-site, and the inner and outer formwork are supported. For larger box culverts, the base plate and lower half of the side walls are typically cast first. Rebar for the upper side walls and roof is then tied, and the inner and outer formwork are supported before the upper side walls and roof are cast. Once the concrete reaches the required design strength, the formwork is removed, and soil is backfilled simultaneously on both sides of the box culvert.
[0004] Box culverts are commonly used in engineering projects such as large-capacity underground drainage channels, road culverts in poor geological conditions, and urban underpasses. With the accelerating pace of urbanization, many existing drainage box culverts need to be extended, and many roads need to be widened and their underpasses lengthened. However, the treatment of the junction between existing and newly constructed box culverts is a key technology, but currently, most construction projects suffer from overly simplistic and inadequate treatment, resulting in severe leakage after completion. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a drainage box culvert.
[0006] The drainage box culvert provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A drainage box culvert includes a box culvert body, which is configured as a hollow box structure with openings at both ends. The box culvert body has a water flow cavity for water to flow through. One of the open ends of the box culvert body is provided with a convex portion, and the other open end of the box culvert body is provided with a concave portion. When two adjacent box culvert bodies are connected, the convex portion of one box culvert body is inserted into the concave portion of the other box culvert body. An expansion joint is provided between the two adjacent box culvert bodies, and a sealing component for sealing the expansion joint is provided between the two adjacent box culvert bodies.
[0008] Furthermore, a first groove is formed on the convex portion of one of the box culvert bodies, and a second groove is formed on the other box culvert body. The first groove and the second groove are spliced together to form an accommodating space for accommodating the blocking assembly.
[0009] Furthermore, the sealing assembly includes a baffle and two elastic strips, a supporting member for supporting the baffle is provided at the bottom of the baffle, the top wall of the baffle is flush with the notch of the accommodating groove, one of the elastic strips is fixedly connected to one side of the baffle and one of the culvert bodies, the other elastic strip is fixedly connected to the other side of the baffle and the other culvert body, and the two elastic strips are symmetrically arranged along the baffle.
[0010] Furthermore, caulking glue is provided between the elastic rubber strip and the box culvert body, and between the elastic rubber strip and the baffle.
[0011] The top end of the support column is fixedly mounted on the support column, and the bottom end of the support column is fixedly mounted on the support column, and the bottom end of the support column is fixedly mounted on the support column.
[0012] Furthermore, the connecting member is configured as a chain plate, one end of the chain plate is fixedly connected to the end of the lower probe plate, and the other end of the chain plate is fixedly connected to the end of the mounting plate.
[0013] Furthermore, the two mounting plates are fixedly connected to the box culvert body via a plurality of expansion screws.
[0014] Furthermore, a support for supporting a convex portion of another box culvert body is provided at the open end of the concave portion away from the box culvert body.
[0015] Furthermore, a shock-absorbing pad is provided at the end of the support close to the convex portion of the other box culvert body.
[0016] Furthermore, a plurality of drainage openings are provided at the bottom of the recess, and the plurality of drainage openings are all inclinedly arranged.
[0017] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0018] 1. The box culvert body is designed with a hollow box structure with openings at both ends, and a convex part is set at one end and a concave part is set at the other end, which enables convenient pre-connection between the box culvert bodies. This not only simplifies the installation process and improves construction efficiency, but also effectively prevents water leakage between adjacent box culvert bodies.
[0019] 2. The expansion joints and plugging components set between adjacent box culvert bodies can adapt to minor deformations caused by environmental factors such as foundation settlement, while effectively improving the overall sealing and stability of the connection between the box culvert bodies, which is conducive to enhancing the durability and service life of the drainage box culvert body;
[0020] 3. The sealing assembly adopts a baffle and elastic strip structure, combined with the use of caulking glue, to further improve the sealing effect of the expansion joint. The design of the baffle support components, such as the probe plate, support plate, support column, pressure plate, spring and nut, ensures that the baffle can remain stable when subjected to force and is not easy to loosen or fall off, thereby enhancing the reliability and stability of the sealing assembly.

[0023] 6. The drain outlet arranged obliquely at the bottom of the recess helps to drain the accumulated water in the box culvert body in time, preventing the accumulated water from causing unnecessary pressure or damage to the box culvert body and the blocking components, thereby ensuring the normal operation and service life of the drainage box culvert body.

[0034] The expansion joints 5 and sealing components 6 arranged between adjacent box culvert bodies 1 can adapt to slight deformations caused by environmental factors such as foundation settlement, while effectively improving the overall sealing and stability of the connection between the box culvert bodies 1, which is conducive to enhancing the durability and service life of the drainage box culvert body 1.
[0035] Reference Figure 3 The supporting member 7 includes a lower probe plate 71, a supporting plate 72, a supporting column 73, a pressure plate 74, a spring 75 and a nut 76.
