Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a modular tunnel secondary lining trolley and a secondary lining construction method, belonging to the field of tunnel secondary lining construction. Background Technology

[0002] A tunnel lining is a warehouse built within a rocky mountain. It is a type of underground engineering construction. Its construction is similar to that of conventional highway tunnel projects, but it also features significant variations in the cross-sectional structure of the main tunnel and approach tunnels within the same tunnel, diverse cross-sectional forms, and frequent changes in construction procedures. Traditional tunnel lining trolleys require internal modification or overall internal assembly at locations with cross-sectional changes within the tunnel. This process is hampered by the narrow construction space and harsh working environment inside the tunnel, leading to difficulties in trolley assembly, long modification and assembly periods, high construction risks, and hindering the overall progress of the project. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem solved by this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and propose a modular tunnel lining trolley and lining construction method, which has the advantages of simple design, convenient assembly, fast construction speed, saving construction costs and reducing construction risks, and can quickly complete the construction of variable cross-section tunnel lining.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is: a modular tunnel lining trolley, comprising: a first trolley segment and a second trolley segment; each of the first trolley segment and the second trolley segment is independently equipped with a gantry structure, a walking system, a template system and a hydraulic support system; the first trolley segment and the second trolley segment are connected in the tunnel through a detachable connecting mechanism to form an integral large-section trolley that bears the overall force.

[0005] The connecting mechanism includes: The gantry lateral connection system consists of pins, connecting beams, and locking devices. The first and second car segments are laterally connected and fixed through the pins, connecting beams, and locking devices to transfer the casting load. Template docking mechanism: Located at the docking point of two sections, it includes alignment guide pins and sealing and pressing devices to ensure that the joints are flat, tight and leak-proof after the templates are assembled.

[0006] The walking system includes an omnidirectional wheel assembly, a drive unit, a guide unit, and a fixing unit; it has two modes: independent control and joint control, and can drive a single segment to walk independently and achieve movement in both longitudinal and lateral directions, or drive two connected segments to walk synchronously.

[0007] The template system is an adjustable design, divided into top template and side template according to position; the lower end of the template is fixed to the gantry structure by support rods; the top template and side template are processed and designed according to the outer contour of the cave structure; the top template and side template can be quickly modified from small cross-sectional contour to large cross-sectional contour by adding or replacing standardized template widening modules and adjusting the position of hinge points.

[0008] A secondary lining construction method using the aforementioned modular tunnel secondary lining trolley includes: S1: Small-section lining construction: The first and second car segments are pre-connected longitudinally outside the tunnel to form an integral car, which then travels to the small section construction area to complete the pouring, curing and demolding of the secondary lining of that section. S2: Demolition and Remodeling Outside the Cave: The entire trolley was removed from the tunnel to a spacious area outside the tunnel; the connecting mechanism between the first and second trolley segments was disconnected, separating them into two independent segments; the template system of each segment was modified, and the outline of the two segments was adjusted to adapt to the large cross-section design size by adding template widening modules, and the modified pre-assembly inspection was completed outside the tunnel; S3: Segmented entry into the tunnel and lateral positioning: The modified first and second vehicle segments are moved sequentially into the tunnel's large-section construction area; using their respective walking systems, the two segments are moved to the design axis position of the large section. S4: Internal Reassembly and Connection: Using the gantry transverse connection system and template docking mechanism, the first car segment and the second car segment are reconnected and locked to form a complete large-section lining trolley. S5: Large-section lining construction: The reassembled monolithic trolley was used to carry out the secondary lining pouring construction of the large section.

[0009] The advantages of this invention compared to the prior art are: 1. High integration and economy: One set of equipment enables lining construction of two different cross sections, avoiding the investment of multiple sets of equipment and significantly reducing project costs.

[0010] 2. Highly efficient construction organization: The most time-consuming trolley modification process was arranged to be carried out outside the tunnel, and carried out in parallel with other processes inside the tunnel, which effectively shortened the critical path construction period and improved the overall construction efficiency.

[0011] 3. Safety and quality controllable: The open space outside the tunnel allows for convenient operation, avoiding the safety risks of working at heights and in confined spaces inside the tunnel. It also facilitates ensuring the accuracy of template modification and assembly quality, thereby ensuring the molding quality of the lining concrete. Attached Figure Description
