Due to its large volume, a transportation base or trolley system is often needed to assist in ground or water transportation.

[0003] Especially when long-distance large-scale immersed tube construction is carried out on water, the problems of large engineering quantity and high construction difficulty make the project construction period longer, which leads to high risk of typhoon and large water level change in the process.

[0004] Therefore, a typhoon and flood prevention intelligent immersed tube transportation trolley system is urgently needed. SUMMARY

[0005] In order to avoid the above problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a typhoon and flood prevention intelligent immersed tube transportation trolley system.

[0008] After the trolley is transported to the end of the track, the trolley is separated from the immersed tube, slides down the slope into the recovery groove, stops the trolley through the stopping plate, and then the trolley is transported back to the starting point of the trolley track by other equipment or manpower to wait for transportation of the immersed tube.

[0009] The present application is further provided that a bevel operation position, a welding operation position and a corrosion prevention operation position are sequentially arranged from top to bottom along the trolley track. The beveling operation position is used to align the unconnected pipe joint with the connected pipe joint; the welding operation position is used to weld the aligned pipe joint; and the anti-corrosion operation position is used to apply anti-corrosion coating to the welded pipe joint.

With the help of a rotary encoder, the number of rotations of the roller is converted into a pulse signal. The length of the tube that has passed is obtained by calculating the number of pulses multiplied by the circumference of the roller.

[0016] The present invention is further configured such that the Hall sensor assembly is suitable for detecting a submerged tube with a stiffening ring, the Hall sensor assembly including a Hall sensor and a sensing magnetic sheet, the sensing magnetic sheet being disposed on the stiffening ring.
