Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tunnel construction technology, and in particular to a tunnel steel arch frame connection device and connection method. Background Technology

[0002] Tunnel steel arch frames are a commonly used rigid support structure in the initial support of tunnels to enhance the stability of the surrounding rock. In current installation processes, a single steel arch frame can be designed as multiple steel arch segments. These segments can be installed individually and then spliced ​​together at the designed location in the tunnel to form a single steel arch frame. Adjacent steel arch frames are then connected laterally by reinforcing bars. The overall construction requires segment-by-segment lifting, positioning, and welding, resulting in high repetition rates, low efficiency, high manual labor, and difficulty in ensuring installation accuracy. Existing technologies also utilize arch frame trolleys for steel arch frame construction. One or more robotic arms clamp longitudinally connected segments of the steel arch frame and install them to the designed location. Multiple longitudinally connected segments are then spliced ​​together circumferentially to form multiple steel arch frames, followed by bolting or welding. This significantly improves construction efficiency and reduces the labor intensity of construction workers.

[0003] The longitudinally connected steel arch frame consists of multiple parallel and spaced steel arch segments. Two adjacent steel arch segments are fixedly connected by steel bars. Using an arch frame trolley requires connecting corresponding steel arch segments in the longitudinally connected steel arch frame in the prefabrication yard. Moreover, a traffic engineering project may involve multiple tunnel projects, and the design requirements for the steel arch frame structure may be different in the multiple tunnel structures, resulting in different curvatures of the steel arch segments in the longitudinally connected steel arch frame and different design intervals between adjacent steel arch frames. Existing technology generally relies on construction personnel to perform connection operations using simple construction devices when connecting steel arch segments, which cannot adapt to the various steel arch frame connection requirements and has low connection efficiency.

[0038] The mounting component 2 has mounting ears 21 at both ends facing downwards. The mounting component 2 is fixedly connected to the fixed head 12 or the sliding head 13 through the mounting ears 21. A connecting part 22 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the middle part of the mounting component 2.

Two adjacent steel arch segments 4 can be connected by steel bars in the transverse direction, and two steel arch segments 4 are spliced ​​together in the circumferential direction. Each steel arch segment 4 is provided with a connection hole for steel bars, and is fixed by steel bars passing through it. Two steel arch segments 4 are installed on each mounting member 2, and each support member 31 supports one steel arch segment 4. This arrangement directly positions and splices two shorter steel arch segments 4 in the circumferential direction on the device, making the operation more convenient.

[0042] A method for connecting tunnel steel arch frames, applied to the aforementioned tunnel steel arch frame connection device, includes the following steps:

[0043] S1: According to the design spacing of two adjacent steel arch frames, adjust the rotation of the adjusting gear 17 so that the adjusting gear 17 drives the moving part 19, the mounting part 2 and the steel arch section 4 to move along the adjusting rack 16, thereby adjusting the distance between two adjacent mounting parts 2 to adapt to the design spacing of two adjacent steel arch frames.
