Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of segment longitudinal seam connectors, in particular to a segment longitudinal seam connector for shield tunnel lining. Background Art

[0002] In tunnel construction, there is a machine called a shield machine that is used for starting and excavating. It has the functions of excavating and cutting soil, transporting soil and assembling tunnel linings, etc. However, when the shield machine is lining the tunnel, it is assembled with several segments. There is a screw that acts as a connection and fastening function, and assembles to form a cylindrical pipe. The segment is a cylindrical wall. It can effectively control ground settlement during excavation, reduce the impact on ground buildings, and not affect surface traffic during underwater excavation. The segments are combined together to form a pipeline. This design is a straight line or a certain arc fastening connector, which is the segment bolt. Segment bolts are divided into circumferential and longitudinal. In some designs, the circumferential and longitudinal specifications are the same. In some designs, the circumferential and longitudinal use two specifications, or even two strength grades. Generally speaking, the length of the circumferential segment bolts is longer than that of the longitudinal segment bolts.

[0003] When the existing tunnel segment bolts are in use, in order to facilitate the bolts to smoothly penetrate the segments, there is a certain gap between the bolts and the bolt holes on the segments. Therefore, after the tunnel segments vibrate for a long time, the segment bolts and the bolt holes of the segments are prone to loosening, affecting the subsequent operating strength of the segments after installation.
