Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of building waterproofing engineering technology. Specifically, it is a mechanical interlocking and sealing connection device and construction method for waterproofing layers of new and old walls. Background Technology
[0002] After the walls of an underground space are completed and waterproofing is finished, if openings are needed to create new spaces and add external connection channels due to functional expansion, the effective connection between the old and new waterproofing layers is crucial to preventing leakage. In existing technologies, the old and new waterproofing layers are typically joined by adhesive overlap or hot-melt overlap. However, the exterior of the original walls in an underground space is constantly exposed to the underground environment, and its surface is prone to accumulating impurities such as soil, silt, and corrosive media, which are difficult to clean completely. This results in insufficient adhesion of the adhesive surfaces and gaps easily appearing in the hot-melt overlap, creating potential leakage hazards. Some projects use edge-sealing strips for auxiliary fixing, but traditional edge-sealing strips are integral structures with poor adaptability. Furthermore, relying solely on mechanical fixing lacks sealing redundancy and cannot cope with the seepage pressure caused by changes in groundwater levels. Simultaneously, the fixing process can easily damage the integrity of the original waterproofing layer, further exacerbating the risk of leakage. Existing construction methods have not solved the problem of interlocking and locking between new and old waterproofing layers, and the layer is prone to detachment under dynamic loads. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a purely mechanical connection device that does not require thorough cleaning of the original wall impurities, can be modularly spliced, and has both mechanical fixing and multiple sealing functions, so as to achieve a reliable connection between the old and new waterproof layers. Summary of the Invention

Each end of the strip has a splicing latch for extension. One end of the splicing latch has a splicing protrusion for sealing, and the other end has a matching splicing groove for extending several fixed base sections. The aluminum alloy plate has several bolt holes. On one side of the lower part of the aluminum alloy plate, there are several vertically downward waterproof pressure points for interlocking with the old wall waterproofing layer. Between the waterproof pressure points, there are grouting areas for grouting. On one side of the upper part of the aluminum alloy plate, there is a vertically upward-facing cover plate support. On the other side of the lower part of the aluminum alloy plate, there is a bottom support.

Detailed Implementation
[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0019] Example 1 Please see now Figures 1-4 The mechanical interlocking sealing connection device for the new and old wall waterproofing layers of the present invention is a long strip-shaped mechanical sealing assembly with an asymmetrical composite structure in cross-section. It includes a fixed base section 1 and a sealing cover plate section 2, and each section can be integrally die-cast using aluminum alloy profiles.
[0020] The fixed base section 1 is a flat plate structure measuring 120mm × 150mm × 100mm. Multiple 12mm diameter through-holes (3) for threaded internal walls facilitate later fixation to the existing structural wall using M12 studs (17). The lower left side features a first waterproof pressure point 14 (10mm long) and a second waterproof pressure point 5 (5mm thick) for engaging with the existing waterproof protective layer. The ends of the pressure points are fitted with a 4mm diameter water-swellable material, providing a flexible connection to the waterproof protective layer. Using industry-recognized technology, a 10mm long and 5mm high grouting zone 6 is located in the center of the pressure point area to verify the effectiveness of the first and second waterproof pressure points 14 and 5 in maintaining the existing waterproof protective layer. The tightness of the interlocking layers and subsequent grouting are ensured; a 10mm long and 20mm thick cover plate support seat 10 is provided on the upper left side; a 10mm×10mm left-side splicing lock 12 is provided at the left end for connecting the extended section; a 10mm long and 5mm thick bottom support seat 7 is provided on the lower right side; a 30mm long and 10mm thick lower end interlocking 8 is provided at the upper right end for interlocking with a 30mm long and 10mm thick upper end interlocking 9 to interlock the new waterproof layer; a 10mm×10mm right-side splicing lock 13 is provided at the right end for connecting the extended section; a 5mm diameter protruding seal 15 is provided at the front end for assembling and lengthening in conjunction with a 5mm diameter pre-reserved splicing groove 14 at the rear end to achieve effective sealing.
[0021] Sealing cover section 2: A flat plate structure, measuring 120mm × 150mm × 5mm, with multiple 12mm diameter through-holes 3 for studs. A 5mm diameter sealing gasket 11 is located on the lower left side, forming a 5mm diameter groove with the cover support 10 for effective sealing. A 30mm long, 10mm thick upper engagement 9 is located on the lower right side, engaging with a 30mm long, 10mm thick lower engagement 8 to seal the new waterproof layer. A 5mm diameter pre-reserved assembly protrusion seal 15 at the front end, combined with a 5mm diameter pre-reserved splicing groove 14 at the rear end, is used for assembly, lengthening, and effective sealing. Sealing cover section 2 is assembled in multiple sections using a 50mm × 20mm × 2mm splicer 16.
[0022] Example 2 Based on the "fixed base section + sealing cover plate section" combined device, the construction steps of the mechanical interlocking and sealing connection construction method of the new and old wall waterproofing layers of the present invention are as follows, the core of which realizes the interlocking and fixing of the existing waterproofing protective layer, the double interlocking and sealing of the new waterproofing layer, the segmented splicing and sealing and the grouting inspection in one integrated manner.
[0023] 1. Base layer pretreatment and positioning layout Draw double lines (the center line of the device and the fixed reference line) along the designed position of the joint between the new and old walls to ensure that the device is installed straight and that the spacing between the double lines matches the width of the fixed base section (error ≤ 2mm). 2. The fixed base section is installed and compacted to interlock with the old waterproof layer. Single-section device placement: Place the fixed base section 1 tightly against the surface of the existing structural wall and align it with the positioning reference line; ensure that the waterproof pressure point 4 and the second waterproof pressure point 5 on the lower left are directly opposite the old waterproof layer, and that the bottom support 7 on the right is tightly attached to the base layer to avoid being suspended. Segmented splicing and sealing: If the joint length exceeds the length of a single segment, the left splicing lock 12 on the left side of the fixed base segment is fastened to the left splicing lock 12 on the left side of the next segment, and the right splicing lock 13 on the right side of the next segment is fastened to the right splicing lock 13 on the right side of the next segment. At the same time, the reserved splicing protrusion 15 of the previous segment is embedded into the reserved splicing groove 14 of the next segment, ensuring that the protrusion and the groove are completely fitted at the splice to achieve a mechanical seal; repeat this step until the entire joint length is covered. Mechanical fixing and interlocking compaction: The fixing base section is anchored to the existing structural wall by using studs 17 through the stud holes 3 of the fixing base section; during the tightening process, ensure that the first waterproof pressure point 4 and the second waterproof pressure point 5 are gradually embedded into the surface of the old waterproof layer to form mechanical interlocking, and the interlocking depth is controlled at 0.50-1mm (to avoid damaging the old waterproof layer itself). Grouting Inspection and Sealing Enhancement: After all the fixed base sections are installed, use industry-known technology to inject clean water or pressure test fluid (pressure ≤ 0.1MPa) through the grouting zone 6 in the middle to check the tightness of the first waterproof pressure point 4, the first waterproof pressure point 5 and the old waterproof layer; after maintaining no leakage or pressure drop for 30 minutes, drain the test fluid, and then inject special waterproof grout (preferably epoxy grout or cement-based penetrating crystalline grout) through the grouting zone to fill the gaps and form a permanent seal.
[0024] New waterproof layer installation and double-interlocking fixation When constructing a new waterproof layer on the outside of the newly poured wall, cut the new waterproof layer roll to the designed width to ensure that the surface of the roll is flat and wrinkle-free. Lay the end of the new waterproof layer roll above the lower end engagement 8 of the fixed base section, and adjust the position so that the edge of the roll is aligned with the engagement area; then cover the fixed base section with the sealing cover section 2, so that the upper end engagement (9) of the sealing cover section is aligned with the lower end engagement 8, forming a double clamping of the new waterproof layer. Install the stud 17 through the stud through hole 3 of the sealing cover plate section; during the tightening process, ensure that the upper end engagement 9 and the lower end engagement 8 clamp the new waterproof layer simultaneously, and at the same time, the sealing gasket 11 on the left side of the sealing cover plate section and the groove of the cover plate support seat 10 of the fixed base section are tightly fitted to achieve a seal. If the joint length is long, multiple sealing cover sections are assembled using the splicer 16. The splice position is aligned with the splice position of the fixed base section to ensure that the reserved splicing protrusion 15 and the reserved splicing groove 14 are sealed and fitted together. Sealing and additional protection of splice joints Apply butyl waterproof sealant to all joints of the device (locking connections, protrusion-groove mating areas), with a sealant thickness of ≥3mm, covering the joint gaps and the area around the locks to form a secondary seal.
