Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of tunnel engineering, specifically to a snap-action shield tunnel, shield segments, and construction method. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, shield tunnels are widely used in subway, municipal, railway, highway transportation and water conservancy projects due to their fast construction speed and minimal disturbance. As the core component of tunnel lining, shield segments directly bear soil pressure, groundwater pressure and special loads, and the mechanical properties of their longitudinal joints determine the overall stress safety of the tunnel structure.

[0003] In related technologies, shield tunnel construction typically involves setting bolt holes at the front end of the tunnel segments and bolt handholes at the rear end. The segments are longitudinally connected by inserting bolts and tightening nuts. Because bolt holes and bolt handholes need to be reserved in the tunnel segments, the steel reinforcement in the segments needs to be broken or bent at the bolt handholes, which weakens the overall structural strength of the segments and reduces their load-bearing capacity. At the same time, the bolt holes are weak points in the tunnel waterproofing system. After the elastic waterproof sealing gasket on the outside of the segments fails, groundwater will seep into the tunnel through the bolt holes, affecting the tunnel's durability.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a new snap-action shield tunnel to overcome the above problems. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0020] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0021] This application provides a snap-action shield tunnel, shield segments, and construction method, which can solve the technical problem that adjacent segments are longitudinally connected by bolts, and the steel bars of the segments need to be broken or bent at the bolt holes, which weakens the overall structural strength of the segments and reduces their load-bearing capacity. At the same time, the bolt hole locations are weak points in the tunnel waterproofing system. After the elastic waterproof sealing gasket on the outside of the segments fails, groundwater will seep into the tunnel through the bolt holes, affecting the durability of the tunnel.

[0022] See Figure 1-4 As shown in the figure, this application provides a snap-action shield tunneling pipe, which includes: multiple segment rings, the multiple segment rings being assembled along the shield tunneling direction to form a shield tunneling pipe, each segment ring including multiple snap-action shield tunneling segments connected in sequence in a circumferential direction, each snap-action shield tunneling segment including a segment body 1, each segment body 1 having two end faces along the shield tunneling direction respectively configured as a facing jack face 11 and a back jack face 12, the segment body 1 having a limiting cavity 13 on the facing jack face 11. The segment body 1 is provided with a socket 2 in the jacking surface 11. The socket 2 is embedded in one side of the limiting cavity 13. The back jacking surface 12 of the segment body 1 is provided with an insertion port 3, which protrudes from the back jacking surface 12. An elastic pad 4 is sandwiched between two adjacent segment bodies 1 along the shield tunneling direction. The insertion port 3 of one segment body 1 is inserted into the limiting cavity 13 of the other segment body 1 and locked with the socket 2 on one side of the limiting cavity 13.

[0023] In this embodiment, two adjacent segments 1 of each segment ring are connected circumferentially by bolts. The elastic gasket 4 is bonded to the jacking surface 11 or the back jacking surface 12 of each segment 1. The elastic gasket 4 is provided between two adjacent segments to provide pre-tightening force for the socket 2 and the spigot 3. Exemplarily, three sockets 2 are provided in the jacking surface 11 of each segment 1, and three spigots 3 are provided in the back jacking surface 12 of each segment 1. Two adjacent segments 1 along the shield tunneling direction are longitudinally connected by locking the sockets 2 and the corresponding spigots 3, avoiding the impact of bolt installation on the segment structure and waterproofing capability.

[0024] This embodiment pre-embeds multiple sockets 2 on the jacking surface 11 of the main tunnel segment 1 and multiple insertion ports 3 on the jacking surface 12 of the main tunnel segment 1. Each insertion port 3 is inserted into the limiting cavity 13 of the corresponding socket 2, and the insertion port 3 and the socket 2 are locked together, so that two adjacent main tunnel segments 1 along the shield tunneling direction are connected. This avoids the impact of bolt settings on the tunnel segment structure and waterproofing capability. It solves the technical problem in related technologies where adjacent tunnel segment rings are longitudinally connected by bolts, and the tunnel segment reinforcement needs to be broken or bent at the bolt holes, which weakens the overall structural strength of the tunnel segment and reduces the load-bearing capacity of the tunnel segment. At the same time, the bolt hole position is a weak link in the tunnel waterproofing system. After the elastic waterproof sealing gasket on the outside of the tunnel segment fails, groundwater will seep into the tunnel through the bolt holes, affecting the durability of the tunnel.

[0025] Further, see Figure 4-6 As shown, in some embodiments, the main body 1 of the segment is provided with a rotating cavity 14 that communicates with the limiting cavity 13; the socket 2 includes a locking device 21 and a bolt 22 connected to each other, the bolt 22 is inserted into the limiting cavity 13 through the rotating cavity 14 and locked with the socket 3.

[0026] In this embodiment, the rotating cavity 14 is used to accommodate the bolt 22. In the initial state, the locking device 21 maintains the bolt 22 in a retracted state. The bolt 22 is pre-embedded in the rotating cavity 14 and located on one side of the limiting cavity 13. When the socket 3 is inserted into the limiting cavity 13 and the bolt 22 is pressed, the bolt 22 protrudes, enters the limiting cavity 13, and locks with the socket 3. The locking device 21 maintains the protruding state of the bolt 22. In other embodiments, the socket 2 can be set as a bolt or a pin. The socket 2 is inserted into the corresponding socket 3 and locks with the socket 3.

[0027] Further, see Figure 4-6 As shown, in some embodiments, the main body 1 of the tube segment is further provided with an operating cavity 15, which is connected to the limiting cavity 13 and is directly opposite to the rotating cavity 14. When the bolt 22 is pressed from the operating cavity 15, the bolt 22 extends and is inserted into the limiting cavity 13 and the operating cavity 15.

[0028] In this embodiment, the operating cavity 15 not only provides operating space for the bolt 22, but also provides movement space for the bolt 22. The rotating cavity 14 and the operating cavity 15 form a directional extension and retraction path for the bolt 22. When the bolt 22 is pressed from the operating cavity 15, the bolt 22 extends and enters the operating cavity 15 through the limiting cavity 13, thereby locking the socket 2 and the insertion port 3.

[0029] Further, see Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the outlet of the operating cavity 15 is provided with a pre-embedded sleeve 5, and a sealing plug 6 is provided inside the pre-embedded sleeve 5. The pre-embedded sleeve 5 is threadedly connected to the sealing plug 6.

[0030] In this embodiment, the inner cavity of the pre-embedded sleeve 5 is connected to the operating cavity 15. The sealing plug 6 seals the opening of the pre-embedded sleeve 5 and is located on the inner arc surface of the pipe body. The inner surface of the pre-embedded sleeve 5 is provided with threads, and the outer surface of the sealing plug 6 is provided with threads. The thread size of the sealing plug 6 matches the thread size of the pre-embedded sleeve 5. The threads form a spiral path to extend the seepage channel. During the process of the sealing plug 6 being screwed into the pre-embedded sleeve 5, the sealing plug 6 generates axial pressure, which makes the sealing plug 6 fit tightly with the pre-embedded sleeve 5, increasing the sealing stability of the sealing plug 6.

[0031] Further, see Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the socket 3 includes an interconnected insertion rod 31 and an anchoring structure 32. The anchoring structure 32 is pre-embedded in the back jack surface 12 of the segment body 1. The insertion rod 31 protrudes from the back jack surface 12 and is provided with a bolt hole. The socket 2 extends and is inserted into the bolt hole.

[0032] In this embodiment, the anchoring structure 32 is pre-embedded in the reinforced concrete of the segment body 1. The shape of the bolt hole matches that of the bolt rod 22, and the socket 2 is aligned with the insertion port 3, that is, the bolt rod 22 is aligned with the bolt hole. When the insertion rod 31 is inserted into the limiting cavity 13 and the bolt rod 22 is pressed, the bolt rod 22 extends and inserts into the bolt hole, thereby locking the socket 2 and the insertion port 3.

[0033] Further, see Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the anchoring structure 32 includes multiple reinforcing bars 321, which are spaced apart and pre-embedded in the back jack surface 12 of the segment body 1, and the multiple reinforcing bars 321 are connected to the insertion rod 31 through a limiting plate 322.

[0034] In this embodiment, the extension directions of the multiple reinforcing bars 321 are parallel to the extension direction of the insertion rod 31, and they are symmetrically arranged along the axis of the insertion rod 31. The longitudinal load borne by the insertion rod 31 is evenly transferred to the reinforced concrete in the segment body 1 through the multiple reinforcing bars 321, thereby improving the tensile strength of the insertion joint 3. Exemplarily, the multiple reinforcing bars 321 are configured as four reinforcing bars 321, which are pre-embedded in the back jack surface 12 of the segment body 1. The top surface of the limiting plate 322 is arranged parallel to the back jack surface 12. In other embodiments, the anchoring structure 32 can be configured as a textured connecting rod or other anchoring structures.

[0035] See Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this application provides a snap-action shield tunnel segment, which includes: a segment body 1 and an elastic gasket 4. The two ends of the segment body 1 along the shield advancement direction are respectively set as an approach jack surface 11 and a back jack surface 12. The segment body 1 has a limiting cavity 13 on the approach jack surface 11. The segment body 1 also has a socket 2 in the approach jack surface 11. The socket 2 is pre-embedded in one side of the limiting cavity 13. The back jack surface 12 of the segment body 1 has an insertion port 3. The insertion port 3 protrudes from the back jack surface 12 and is used to insert into the limiting cavity 13 of the adjacent segment body 1 and lock with the corresponding socket 2. The elastic gasket 4 is bonded to the approach jack surface 11 or the back jack surface 12 of the segment body 1.

[0036] In this embodiment, each segment body 1 is provided with one or more sockets 2 in the jacking surface 11, and each segment body 1 is provided with one or more insertion ports 3 in the back jacking surface 12. An elastic gasket 4 is provided between two adjacent segment bodies 1 to provide pre-tightening force for the sockets 2 and insertion ports 3. Exemplarily, each segment body 1 is provided with three sockets 2 in the jacking surface 11, and each segment body 1 is provided with three insertion ports 3 in the back jacking surface 12. Two adjacent segment bodies 1 along the shield tunneling direction are longitudinally connected by locking the sockets 2 and the corresponding insertion ports 3, avoiding the impact of bolt settings on the segment structure and waterproofing capability.

The elastic gasket 4 is bonded to the jacking surface 11 or the back jacking surface 12 of each segment 1. The elastic gasket 4 is provided between two adjacent segments to provide pre-tightening force for the socket 2 and the spigot 3.
