Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of underground engineering construction technology, and in particular to a construction method and apparatus for assembling precast tunnel segments into a ring by sinking them through vertical shaft excavation. Background Technology
[0002] As urban underground space development continues to deepen, the demand for deep underground engineering projects is increasing. Traditional subway stations and tunnel boring machine (TBM) launching / receiving shafts are typically 20-30 meters deep. However, with the increasing depth of urban underground space development, next-generation underground engineering projects (such as deep drainage tunnels, ultra-deep subway stations, and underground logistics systems) require large vertical shafts extending to 50 meters or even over 100 meters, serving as TBM launching / receiving shafts, ventilation shafts, or equipment shafts. However, traditional shaft construction methods face significant technical bottlenecks and limitations when dealing with such ultra-deep, large-diameter projects that are highly environmentally sensitive and geologically complex.
[0003] Open-cut excavation (large-scale excavation) uses diaphragm walls or bored piles with internal bracing. In ultra-deep conditions, this method not only has a long construction period and significant environmental impact, but also drastically reduces its economic efficiency and safety. Caisson construction has poor geological adaptability, is difficult to control sinking, is prone to tilting, and causes significant disturbance to the surrounding soil. With the increasing complexity of urban environments and increasingly stringent environmental standards, the drawbacks of traditional methods are further amplified, and the industry urgently needs a new type of vertical shaft construction technology that is safe, reliable, efficient, environmentally friendly, and widely adaptable to different geological formations.
[0004] Chinese patent document CN202211665413.2 discloses a vertical shield tunneling system and its construction method with circumferential multi-head cutting, including a tunneling device, a traveling device, a suspension device, a slurry feeding device, and a slag discharge device, as well as several cutting edge boxes. The cutting edge boxes are connected to form a circular cutting edge box group, and the cutting edge box group matches the outer edge size of the vertical shield. The cross-section of the cutting edge box is inverted U-shaped, forming an inverted working cavity. A guide rail is provided on the top surface of the working cavity along the axis of the cutting edge box, and a channel is provided on the top surface of each cutting edge box.
[0005] However, the above-mentioned scheme has at least the following technical problems during implementation: the caisson method has poor geological adaptability, is difficult to control sinking, is prone to deviation, and causes significant disturbance to the surrounding soil. Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a construction method and device for assembling precast tunnel segments into rings by using vertical shaft excavation and sinking. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In view of the above technical problems, this disclosure provides a construction method and device for assembling precast tunnel segments into rings by sinking them through vertical shaft excavation. This solves the technical problems of existing open-cut methods using diaphragm walls or bored piles for internal support, which not only have long construction periods and huge impacts on the surrounding environment in ultra-deep conditions, but also drastically reduce economic efficiency and safety. Furthermore, the caisson method suffers from poor geological adaptability, difficulty in sinking control, a tendency to deviate, and significant disturbance to the surrounding soil.

S5. Final well treatment: After the wellbore is lowered to the design elevation, the bottom of the well is sealed and the well wall is backfilled.

[0035] Conventional urban tunnel shield engineering mainly consists of shield launching shaft construction, shield receiving shaft construction, shield section excavation, and ventilation and drainage equipment installation.
[0036] The core process of the complete construction method centered on the shaft tunneling machine is as follows: using the shaft tunneling machine to carry out underground non-drainage excavation, controlling the lowering of the precast segment structure through special suspension equipment, and finally forming a complete ring shaft structure underground, forming a fully functional launching / receiving working shaft.
[0037] (1) System composition The vertical shaft excavation assembly system consists of ten core subsystems: excavation system, rotary drive system, outrigger support system, segment lifting system, main unit recovery and hoisting system, cable rack, mud circulation system, electrical system, hydraulic system, and mud-water separation system.
[0038] (2) Working principle Excavation and soil removal: The main system of the shaft tunneling machine is fixed to the shaft wall, and the shaft wall structure is used as temporary support. The cutting head is used to excavate the bottom face of the pit in all directions in 360°. At the same time, the mud circulation system is used to pump the slurry from the excavation face to the mud-water separation system to achieve slurry separation and recycling. Structural sinking: The suspension equipment is connected to the vertical shaft cutting foot through steel strands to suspend the entire vertical shaft structure in a controllable manner and precisely control the sinking speed; Segment assembly and attitude control: The well wall is lowered through the segment lifting system, and the prefabricated segments are assembled on the ground after each designed advance is reached; the attitude is monitored in real time using sensors and inclinometers, and the attitude of the well is adjusted by the extension and retraction of the cylinders of one or more sets of well lifting systems and directional excavation to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of vertical shaft excavation.
[0039] 2. Shaft excavator (1) Core parameters The tunneling machine's main unit has an overall height of approximately 11 meters and a total weight of approximately 200 tons. The largest indivisible component is the slewing drive assembly (weighing 80 tons). The specific dimensions and weights of each component are in accordance with the design documents. On-site assembly is divided into two parts: underground main unit installation and surface equipment layout.
[0040] (2) Core functions As a core excavation component, the cutting head (milling head) mainly performs two functions: ① cutting the strata layer by layer at the excavation face, strictly controlling the excavation outline and the particle size of the excavated soil; ② fully mixing the excavated soil and mud water to form a uniform slurry suspension, which facilitates subsequent pumping and separation.
[0041] 3. Shaft lifting equipment 1. Configuration Scheme Six sets of 500t-class lifting devices are used to suspend the well shaft structure via steel strands. The lifting devices are bolted to the embedded parts of the lock ring beam. The embedded parts are symmetrically distributed in six directions along the circumference of the lock ring beam to ensure uniform transmission of lifting force and to be responsible for the overall suspension of the well shaft, main unit and auxiliary equipment.
[0042] 2. Structural Composition It mainly includes a steel strand lifting cylinder, a fixed base, a hydraulic pump station, a steel strand winding and unwinding device, and an intelligent control cabinet.
[0043] 4. Overview of Lifting Equipment 1. Main crane configuration A 400T crawler crane was selected as the main lifting equipment, operating in the "main boom + superlift mast + superlift counterweight" mode (HDB mode): main boom length 42m, mast length 30m, superlift radius 13m, and maximum boom elevation angle 85°. The total weight of the equipment is approximately 520t (including crane tare weight 150t, rear counterweight 150t, central counterweight 40t, superlift counterweight 150t, and other components totaling 30t), specifically designed for lifting large components such as the main unit of a shaft boring machine.
[0044] 2. Wire rope for hoisting The hoisting and dismantling operations of the shaft boring machine use two types of 6×37-*-1870 steel wire ropes: ①Φ72mm×8m, used for hoisting the core components of the main unit; ②Φ26mm×10m, used for hoisting small components such as lifting equipment, auxiliary equipment, and cable racks.
[0045] 5. Prefabrication and assembly of annular tunnel segments (1) Assembly process The construction sequence adopted is "bottom first, then top, symmetrical assembly": first assemble the bottom segments, then symmetrically install the side and top segments, and finally hoist the capping block to form a closed well wall structure. During the assembly process, a laser positioning instrument is used for precise positioning to ensure that the segment assembly error is ≤2mm; a torque wrench is used to strictly control the bolt tightening torque to ensure the segment assembly accuracy and structural integrity.
[0046] (2) Process control and subsequent processing Dynamic control: Synchronously control the excavation speed of the shaft machinery and the sinking speed of the tunnel segments. By monitoring the verticality and attitude of the caisson structure in real time, dynamic adjustments are made using equipment such as hydraulic jacks to ensure that the verticality deviation meets the specifications. Gap filling: After the segments are assembled, cement mortar is injected through the pre-drilled holes in the segments to fill the gaps between the segments and the formation, thereby enhancing the stability of the well wall; Bottom sealing: After draining the mud and water from the well, pour a 6m thick layer of concrete to seal the bottom of the well, ensuring the bottom's anti-buoyancy stability and load-bearing capacity.

Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the invention.
