Description

[0001] This invention application is a divisional application of the parent application "A tower foundation structure and construction method for preventing and controlling freeze-thaw deformation in seasonal frozen soil areas". The application number of the parent application is 2025109128827, and the application date is July 3, 2025. Technical Field

[0002] The present invention relates to the technical field of construction for preventing and controlling freeze-thaw deformation of power transmission and transformation facility foundations, and in particular to a pole tower foundation structure and a construction method for preventing and controlling freeze-thaw deformation in seasonally frozen soil areas. Background Art

[0003] my country's seasonally frozen ground areas are widely distributed across Northeast China, North China, Northwest China, and the edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. These areas are characterized by significant interannual freeze-thaw cycles, characterized by soil expansion during winter and thawing and settling during summer. In recent years, the scale of power transmission and transformation projects in these areas has continued to expand. However, frequent freeze-thaw cycles in these areas cause repeated freeze-heaving and thawing settlement of the soil surrounding tower foundations, leading to foundation uplift, tilting, and even fracture, posing a serious threat to the safe operation of the power grid.

[0004] Traditional tower foundations often utilize shallow buried designs. While this offers the advantages of convenient construction and low cost, it is directly exposed to the active freeze-thaw layer, making it susceptible to frost heave forces generated by soil phase transitions. Current prevention and control technologies focus primarily on two categories: one is to suppress deformation by enhancing the frost resistance of foundation materials (e.g., high-strength concrete, fiber-reinforced composites), but this material cost is high and the effects of frost heave forces cannot be eliminated. The other is to employ deep foundations or thermal insulation measures (e.g., polystyrene insulation layers, gravel replacement). While these measures can partially mitigate frost damage, they significantly increase construction complexity and cost, and are not adaptable enough in areas with severe frost heave. The current technical bottleneck lies in the excessive pursuit of a "zero-deformation" rigid resistance model for the foundation, while neglecting to optimize the soil-foundation interaction mechanism during freeze-thaw cycles. Traditional structures lack a design to dissipate the repeated stresses caused by freeze-thaw cycles, which can easily lead to foundation fatigue damage. Therefore, a new foundation structure that balances cost-effectiveness and reliability is urgently needed. This new foundation structure can achieve active prevention and control of freeze-thaw deformation by reshaping the frost heave force distribution and improving the coordinated deformation capacity of the foundation and frozen soil.

[0005] Based on the concept of "combination of guidance and dredging", this invention breaks through the rigid anti-freeze thinking and proposes a tower foundation that integrates a load-sharing structure. It comprehensively solves the freeze-thaw deformation problem from three dimensions: optimization of the frost heave force transmission path, release of deformation energy and automatic locking, and provides an innovative solution for the long-term and stable operation of power infrastructure in seasonally frozen areas. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0047] Example 1

[0048] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a tower foundation structure for preventing and controlling freeze-thaw deformation in seasonally frozen soil areas includes a pile body 1, a hydraulic damper 2, a tapered tube 3, an isolation tube 4, and a central tube 9, wherein:

[0049] The lower part of the pile body 1 is connected with the top of the central cylinder 9 through the hydraulic damper 2, the outside of the bottom of the central cylinder 9 is sleeved with the isolation cylinder 4, the conical cylinder 3 is fixedly connected with the top of the isolation cylinder 4, and the conical cylinder 3 is slidably connected with the outside of the top of the central cylinder 9;

[0050] The upper inclined braces 7 and the lower inclined braces 8 are fixedly connected around the central cylinder 9 and are inclined upwards and downwards respectively, and the ends of the upper inclined braces 7 and the lower inclined braces 8 are movably inserted into the through holes 17 in the side wall of the isolation cylinder 4 respectively;

[0051] The bottom of the isolation cylinder 4 is fixedly connected with the base 5, the upper part of the base 5 is fixedly connected with the locking pin 11, the bottom of the central cylinder 9 is hollow to form the central cylinder cavity 10 for inserting the locking pin 11, the locking pin 11 is slidably connected with the bottom of the central cylinder 9 through the central cylinder cavity 10, and a gap is left between the bottom of the central cylinder 9 and the base 5;

[0052] The isolation cylinder 4 is completely located below the seasonally frozen soil layer, the pile body 1, the conical cylinder 3 and the hydraulic damper 2 are completely located in the seasonally frozen soil layer, the top of the pile body 1 is flush with the natural ground surface, and the bottom of the conical cylinder 3 is flush with the maximum seasonal frozen depth.

[0053] When the seasonally frozen soil freezes and expands, the tangential frost heaving force generated acts on the pile body 1 preferentially, drives the pile body 1 to generate upward displacement, the hydraulic damper 2 acts first, the hydraulic damper 2 provides resistance in the opposite direction of the frost heaving force, offsets the influence of the frost heaving force, when the hydraulic damper 2 reaches the locking state, the pile body 1 drives the central cylinder 9 to move upwards, and the upper inclined braces 7 begin to act, specifically, the upper inclined braces 7 gradually extend out of the through holes 17 of the isolation cylinder 4 and pierce into the surrounding soil, form an anchoring effect similar to "barbs", and in the development process of the frost heaving, with the upper inclined braces 7 gradually extending out and anchoring into the surrounding soil, the force applied to the isolation cylinder 4 by the upper inclined braces 7 is synchronously enhanced; at the same time, the lower inclined braces 8 are retracted into the isolation cylinder 4. The upper inclined braces 7 and the lower inclined braces 8 are made of metal with elasticity, and always remain in an elastic deformation state in the whole movement process, so as to ensure the reusable performance. In the warm season thawing and subsidence stage, the system presents self-adaptive recovery characteristics: firstly, the soil melts, the pile body 1 is pulled downward, and the hydraulic damper 2 returns to the initial position; with the further development of the thawing and subsidence, the central cylinder 9 begins to move downward under the driving of the pile body 1, at this time, the lower inclined braces 8 extend out of the through holes 17 and pierce into the surrounding soil, and inhibit the structure settlement by increasing the side wall friction resistance. When the bottom of the central cylinder 9 is in contact with the base 5, the base 5 will provide the final bearing capacity support. It is particularly worth noting that the elastic restoring force of the upper inclined braces 7 and the lower inclined braces 8 will act synergistically to push the central cylinder 9 to accurately return to the initial design position, and this characteristic effectively guarantees the dimensional stability and durability of the structure in the multi-year freezing and thawing cycle. In the whole working process, the upper inclined braces 7, the lower inclined braces 8 and the hydraulic damper form perfect cooperation, and realize the whole process control of the frost heaving and thawing and subsidence deformation.

[0054] The mechanical optimization design of the cone 3 achieves a self-locking effect of frost heave force. When the freezing front extends to the buried depth of the cone 3, its unique inclined structure plays a key role: by changing the direction of the frost heave force, the original destructive normal force is converted into a beneficial restraining force. Specifically, Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the frost heave force on the inclined surface of the cone is decomposed into the normal force (F f ) and tangential force (F q ), the vertical component F fs 、F qs There is a clear mechanical relationship. By accurately calculating the inclination angle of the tapered tube, ensure that F qs ≤F fs The mechanical conditions always hold.

[0055] F f ×sinθ≥F q ×cosθ

[0056] Where: F f F is the normal component of the frost heave force on the inclined surface of the cone; q is the tangential component of the frost heave force on the tapered tube slope; θ is the angle between the tapered tube slope and the vertical. The inclination angle θ of the tapered tube 3 should be no less than 26.57°. This design cleverly utilizes the frost heave force itself to automatically lock the tapered tube 3, effectively suppressing the upward displacement of the isolation tube 4. This provides a reliable bottom anchoring force for the pile 1 and significantly improves the foundation's stability during the frost heave period.

[0057] The structure's anti-overturning stability is ensured by a triple guarantee mechanism consisting of the conical tube 3, the base 5, and the locking pin 11. The spatial constraint principle of the three components is as follows: the central tube 9 is precisely restricted to movement within the internal space of the conical tube 3, while the top of the locking pin 11 penetrates the central tube cavity 10, and the bottom of the locking pin 11 is rigidly connected to the base 5. This nested structural design forms a three-dimensional constraint system, whose mechanical characteristics are as follows: first, the precise fit between the inner wall of the conical tube 3 and the outer wall of the central tube 9 limits horizontal displacement; second, the guiding effect of the locking pin 11 within the central tube cavity 10 ensures the linearity of vertical movement; finally, the fixed connection between the base 5 and the isolation tube 4 provides a stable foundation platform.

[0058] Preferably, the upper and lower diagonal braces 7 and 8 are alternately fixed in layers on the exterior of the central tube 9. Each layer of upper diagonal braces 7 is composed of N upper support pieces at the same height, tilted upward, and each layer of lower diagonal braces 8 is composed of N lower support pieces at the same height, tilted downward. More preferably, N is 3 to 6. The N upper support pieces at the same height are evenly distributed on the exterior of the central tube 9 in an umbrella-like pattern, while the N lower support pieces at the same height are evenly distributed on the exterior of the central tube 9 in an umbrella-like pattern.

[0059] Example 2

[0060] like Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment further optimizes the structure of the hydraulic damper 2 based on the embodiment 1.

[0061] The hydraulic damper 2 includes a piston body 15 fixed to the bottom of the pile body 1, a hydraulic chamber formed at the top of the center tube 9, and multiple damping channels 6 formed on the side wall of the top of the center tube 9. The piston body 15 is slidably connected to the hydraulic chamber. The hydraulic chamber includes an upper hydraulic chamber 13 and a lower hydraulic chamber 14. The upper hydraulic chamber 13 and the lower hydraulic chamber 14 are filled with antifreeze medium. A sealing ring 16 is fixed on the outer wall of the piston body 15. The openings at both ends of each damping channel 6 are connected to the hydraulic chamber. The openings at one end of multiple damping channels 6 are arranged from high to low. Preferably, the center lines of multiple damping channels 6 are located on the same straight line.

[0062] The cross-sectional area of ​​the upper hydraulic chamber 13 minus the cross-sectional area of ​​the piston body 15 equals the cross-sectional area of ​​the lower hydraulic chamber 14. This ensures that when the piston body 15 moves, the volume changes of the upper hydraulic chamber 13 and the lower hydraulic chamber 14 are equal, ensuring the normal movement of the piston body 15.

[0063] When the tangential frost heave force acts on the pile body 1 , the pile body 1 drives the piston body 15 to slide upward in the hydraulic damper 2 , compressing the antifreeze medium in the upper hydraulic chamber 13 . The antifreeze medium in the upper hydraulic chamber 13 enters the damping channel 6 through one end opening of the damping channel 6 and flows out from the other end opening into the lower hydraulic chamber 14. In this embodiment, three damping channels 6 are provided. More preferably, each damping channel 6 is an arc-shaped structure. In the initial stage of freeze drawing, the center line of the piston body 15 is located on the center line of the damping channel 6. One end opening of each damping channel 6 is located in the upper hydraulic chamber 13, and the other end opening is located in the lower hydraulic chamber 14. Antifreeze medium flows in the three damping channels 6. As freeze drawing further occurs, the piston body 15 rises, and the number of damping channels 6 with openings located on the upper part of the piston body 15 decreases, that is, the number of damping channels 6 for the circulation of antifreeze medium decreases, first reducing to two damping channels 6 for the circulation of antifreeze medium, and then reducing to one. In this process, the resistance gradually increases, and the pressure of the antifreeze medium in the upper hydraulic chamber 13 acting on the piston body 15 gradually increases.

[0064] During the entire freeze-pulling process, thanks to the incompressible characteristics of the antifreeze medium and the damping effect of the damping channel 6, a progressive pressurization process is formed in the upper hydraulic chamber 13. This pressure reacts to the pile body 1 through the piston body 15, generating an anchoring force in the opposite direction of the frost heave force, thereby effectively decomposing and offsetting the impact of the frost heave force. During the continuous action of the frost heave force, the system exhibits intelligent response characteristics: as the pile body 1 slowly rises, the sealing ring 16 moves synchronously with the piston body 15, gradually closing the damping channel 6 in a preset order. This progressive closing mechanism ensures that the system's damping force increases with increasing displacement. When all damping channels 6 are completely closed, the system reaches a force balance state and the piston body 15 stops moving.

[0065] In the initial stage of frost heave, when all the damping channels 6 of the hydraulic damper 2 are completely closed and the piston body 15 reaches a locked state, as the frost heave force continues to act, the pile body 1 will drive the central tube 9 to move upward as a whole.

[0066] Example 3

[0067] like Figure 7 As shown, the construction method of the tower foundation structure for preventing and controlling freeze-thaw deformation in seasonal frozen soil areas includes the following steps:

[0068] S1. Construction Preparation: Before construction, a detailed geological survey of seasonal frozen ground is required to understand the characteristics of the site's seasonal frozen ground. Based on the survey results, a special construction plan is developed, necessary construction equipment and materials are prepared, and technical instructions are provided to the construction personnel.

[0069] S2, Foundation Positioning: Use surveying instruments to lay out the site and determine the foundation center and elevation control points. Mark the installation locations of each structural component to ensure accurate positioning.

[0070] S3, structural fabrication and assembly: prefabricate the main components in the factory and assemble on site. The assembly process is to first assemble the hydraulic damper 2, then weld the upper diagonal brace 7 and the lower diagonal brace 8 to the outside of the central tube 9, assemble the isolation tube 4, and then weld the isolation tube 4 to the base 5, and finally weld the tapered tube 3 to complete the overall pre-assembly and check the matching dimensions of each component.

[0071] S4, Drilling: Use a rotary drilling rig to construct the pile hole. The drill hole diameter should be slightly larger than the designed isolation tube diameter. Strictly control vertical deviation during drilling and promptly address any problems such as hole wall collapse. After drilling, remove any sediment from the bottom of the hole to ensure a smooth, level hole bottom.

[0072] S5, Structure Hoisting: Use special hoisting equipment for overall hoisting, strictly control the positioning accuracy. After the structure is in place, install temporary supports in a timely manner to ensure construction safety.

[0073] S6, hole backfilling and compaction: stratified backfilling of improved soil material, and layer by layer compaction with small compaction equipment. Stop when backfilling to the bottom of the conical cylinder, and continue backfilling to the design elevation after checking the vertical condition of the structure.

[0074] S7, project acceptance: comprehensive detection of the installation quality of the structure, including geometric size, mechanical property, etc. Complete the construction acceptance record, and complete the finishing work such as corrosion protection.

[0075] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, it should be noted that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the principles of the present application, can make a number of improvements and refinements, these improvements and refinements should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
