TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of deep foundation pit support, in particular to a grading support structure for a deep foundation pit of a dock. BACKGROUND
[0002] A dock is a dock-like building for repairing and building ships. The ship enters and exits through water filling, and can be operated on a dry bottom after draining. The most common dry dock has three walls, and the ship bottom is exposed for maintenance after the water is pumped out. When building a dry dock, a foundation pit usually needs to be excavated, and support must be provided. Foundation pit support can prevent soil collapse, control deformation, and protect surrounding facilities. The prior art does not have a structure for grading self-locking pre-pressing of profile steel support and mid-section support of profile steel support, so that the existing profile steel support for foundation pit needs to use a hydraulic rod to push the profile steel support body and the movable end to pre-press the foundation pit. After the hydraulic rod is stretched to apply pressure, a limiting pin needs to be manually added to lock the movable end to prevent it from moving backward and reducing the pre-pressing pressure. At the same time, when the profile steel support is used to support a longer and deeper foundation pit, the profile steel support is easily bent due to its long length. The bending will continue to increase over time and affect the support and pre-pressing. If a steel structure is used for support, it needs to be customized according to the distance between the support position and the bottom of the foundation pit. The subsequent use of the customized structure will also be limited. Based on the shortcomings of the prior art, the present application designs a grading support structure for a deep foundation pit of a dock. SUMMARY

[0019] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 6 The deep foundation pit graded support structure for a shipyard includes a steel support body 1, with brackets 2 at both ends of the steel support body 1, and a movable connecting seat 104 at one end of the steel support body 1. A slot 105 is provided on the movable connecting seat 104, and an insert plate 106 is inserted into the slot 105. A movable end 107 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the insert plate 106. A multi-stage support mechanism 3 is provided between the movable connecting seat 104 and the insert plate 106 to facilitate adjustment of the multi-stage support preload. The support body 1 is provided with a middle section support mechanism 4 to facilitate the anti-bending support of the steel support body 1. The two ends of the steel support body 1 are provided with connection holes 101. The end of the steel support body 1 away from the movable connecting seat 104 is provided with a fixed end 102. A first bolt 103 is provided between the steel support body 1 and the fixed end 102. The movable end 107 is mounted on the bracket 2. The first bolt 103 is also fixedly connected between the steel support body 1 and the movable connecting seat 104.
[0020] Please see Figure 3 The inner side of the bracket 2 is fixedly connected with a reinforcing plate 201, and the outer side of the bracket 2 is fixedly connected with a buckle 202. The reinforcing plates 201 are respectively set on both sides of the fixed end 102 and both sides of the movable connecting seat 104.
[0021] Please see Figure 5The multi-stage support mechanism 3 includes a movable groove 301, a rotating seat 302, a locking plate 303, a check arm 304, a locking hole 305, a spring 306, a locking pin 307, and a check groove 308. The movable groove 301 is formed through one side of the movable connecting seat 104. The rotating seat 302 is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable connecting seat 104 outside the movable groove 301. The locking plate 303 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating seat 302. The check arm 304 is rotatably connected to the rotating seat 302. The locking hole 305 is formed through the check arm 304. The spring 306... 6 is fixedly connected between the lock hole 305 and the movable connecting seat 104. The locking pin 307 is inserted into the lock hole 305. The check groove 308 is opened on the insert plate 106, and the two sets of check grooves 308 on the same side are staggered. The two sets of check arms 304 on the same side are also staggered. The check arm 304 is rotatably connected in the movable groove 301. The check arm 304 is movably locked in the check groove 308. The locking pin 307 is also inserted into the lock plate 303. The locking pin 307 can be inserted into both the lock hole 305 and the lock plate 303 to lock the check arm 304.
[0022] By setting up the movable slot 301, rotating seat 302, check arm 304 and check groove 308, the insert plate 106 and movable end 107 extending from the slot 105 are locked to prevent backflow, thereby maintaining the pre-pressure on the pit. By setting up the spring 306, the check arm 304 is pushed to always be locked in the check groove 308, and the check arm 304 can be pushed to quickly lock into the check groove 308 at different pre-pressure levels. By setting up the locking plate 303, locking hole 305 and locking pin 307, the check arm 304 can be rotated out of the check groove 308 and fixed, and the insert plate 106 can be reinserted into the slot 105 to reset.
[0023] Please see Figure 6 The intermediate support mechanism 4 includes a U-shaped component 401, an L-shaped limiting plate 402, a second bolt 403, a top connecting seat 404, a first threaded post 405, a bidirectional threaded sleeve 406, a second threaded post 407, and a bottom support seat 408. The U-shaped component 401 is inserted into the bottom and both sides of the steel support body 1. The L-shaped limiting plate 402 is located at the top of the U-shaped component 401. The second bolt 403 is threaded through and inserted into the U-shaped component 401 and the L-shaped limiting plate 402. The top connecting seat 404 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the U-shaped component 401. The first threaded post 405 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the top connecting seat 404. The bidirectional threaded sleeve 406 is threaded onto the first threaded post 405. The second threaded post 407 is threaded onto the bottom end of the bidirectional threaded sleeve 406. The bottom support seat 408 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the second threaded post 407. The L-shaped limiting plate 402 is snapped onto the steel support body 1.
[0024] By setting up a U-shaped component 401, an L-shaped limiting plate 402, and a second bolt 403, the U-shaped component 401 can be connected and fixed to the steel support body 1. At the same time, the separate structure of the U-shaped component 401 and the L-shaped limiting plate 402 also facilitates disassembly and assembly on the steel support body 1. By setting up a first threaded post 405, a bidirectional threaded sleeve 406, and a second threaded post 407, the distance between the U-shaped component 401 and the bottom support seat 408 can be adjusted to adapt to different depths of foundation pits and support the steel support body 1. By setting up a top connecting seat 404 and a first threaded post 405, which are separate structures as shown in the figure, when the first threaded post 405, the bidirectional threaded sleeve 406, and the second threaded post 407 are still insufficient to support the foundation pit depth after being fully extended, an extension rod can be added between the top connecting seat 404 and the first threaded post 405.
[0025] Working principle: When the graded support structure for deep foundation pits in docks is used, in the initial state, connecting holes 101 are first opened at both ends of the steel support body 1. Fixed ends 102 and movable connecting seats 104 are connected to both ends of the steel support body 1 through the connecting holes 101 and the first bolts 103. The fixed ends 102 and movable connecting seats 104 are mounted on the brackets 2 on the inner and outer sides, where reinforcing plates 201 and fasteners 202 are installed, to support the steel support body 1. At the same time, the steel support body 1, fixed ends 102 and movable connecting seats 104 are used to support the foundation pit. An insert plate 106 and a movable end 107 are inserted into the movable connecting seat 104. A multi-level support mechanism 3 is installed between the movable connecting seat 104 and the insert plate 106 to prevent the insert plate 106 from moving outward during the movement of the insert plate 106 and the movable end 107. This allows for different strength levels of support for the foundation pit with the assistance of external hydraulic rods. A middle section support mechanism 4 is provided at the end of the steel support body 1 to provide auxiliary support for the middle section when supporting a long foundation pit, preventing it from bending due to gravity during the support process. When graded preloading support is required for the foundation pit, firstly, the two sets of brackets 2 are fixed to the sheet piles on both sides of the foundation pit using fasteners 202. Then, the two ends of the steel support body 1, fixed end 102, movable connecting seat 104, insert plate 106, and movable end 107 assembled using the first bolt 103 are placed on the left and right brackets 2. At this time, the hydraulic rod is placed between the movable end 107 and the movable connecting seat 104 and activated to extend it. When the hydraulic rod extends, the insert plate 106 and the movable end 107 will be pulled out from the inside of the slot 105, extending the length of the support. The combination of movable connecting seat 104, insert plate 106 and movable end 107 increases the length of the foundation pit and adds pre-compression treatment. During the outward movement of insert plate 106, check groove 308 also moves outward and uses its internal inclined surface to make check arm 304 slide on check groove 308 and insert plate 106. After the pre-compression pressure reaches the required pressure, check arm 304 can automatically be inserted into the corresponding check groove 308 under the push of spring 306 to perform check-back treatment on insert plate 106 and movable end 107. This device facilitates graded pre-compression support of foundation pit.
[0026] When it is necessary to support the middle section of the steel support body 1, firstly, the U-shaped part 401 is fitted onto the steel support body 1 from bottom to top. Then, the L-shaped limiting plate 402 is placed on the steel support body 1 and the L-shaped limiting plate 402 is connected and fixed to the U-shaped part 401 by the second bolt 403. At this time, the remaining parts at the bottom of the U-shaped part 401 are connected to the steel support body 1. Then, without rotating the fixed bottom support base 408, the bidirectional threaded sleeve 406 is turned forward to make the first threaded post 405 and the second threaded post 407 unscrew from the inside until the bottom support base 408 contacts the bottom of the pit. At this time, the second threaded post 407, the bidirectional threaded sleeve 406 and the first threaded post 405 can support the U-shaped part 401 and the steel support body 1. This device facilitates the support of the middle section of the steel support body 1.
