Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of caisson construction, in particular to a caisson inclination correction structure based on bottom support and top weight. Background Art

[0002] Caisson construction is a method used to carry out foundation engineering deep in the soil or water. This process is often used in the foundations of structures such as buildings, bridges, and dams. In the caisson process, a large cylindrical or square box made of reinforced concrete or steel, called a caisson or fixed caisson, is first prepared, which is used to drill a hole in the foundation and reach the required depth. The caisson is usually hollowed out or bored through the bottom of the lake by continuously digging soil or other materials from the middle, and then sinking it to the depth of the foundation. In some cases, workboats or special equipment are used to sink the caisson to the required depth. Once the caisson reaches the location, concrete or other materials are poured to fill the void and support the foundation structure. Caisson construction can cut off groundwater sources where large structures need to be built, and deep-water construction can be carried out by providing a closed and flat working surface. At the same time, it can also reduce pollution to water sources and avoid dangerous gas leaks. This process is also used in infrastructure projects such as building foundations, bridge piers, and submarine pipelines.

[0003] During the construction process, the tilt of the caisson body is one of the most common problems, which may be caused by uneven soil layers, inappropriate excavation sequence and speed, etc. The tilt of the well body will endanger construction safety on the one hand, and will also have an adverse impact on the quality, progress and cost of the project on the other hand. Especially when the tilt exceeds a certain degree, it may be impossible to correct the deviation and the entire well body may be abandoned, which will have a huge impact on the project. Therefore, a correction structure that can effectively control the tilt of the caisson and is convenient for construction is very necessary. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above problems of the prior art, the utility model designs a caisson tilt correction structure based on bottom support and top weight. The structure adjusts the top weight equipment to the target working area and arranges the bottom support parts reasonably. In this way, the sinking speed of each part of the caisson is adjusted to achieve the purpose of correction.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A caisson tilt correction structure based on bottom support and top weight mainly includes three parts: monitoring control system, top weight equipment and bottom support. The monitoring control system is used to monitor the caisson posture and determine its tilt level; the top weight equipment is installed on the top of the caisson wall plate and selects the target weight area according to the control command; the bottom support is deployed by the on-site construction personnel according to the control command and set at the cutting edge of the target area.

[0007] Furthermore, the top ballast equipment includes three parts: a track, a ballast vehicle, and a ballast object.

[0008] Furthermore, the track is fixed to the top of the caisson wall and arranged in the center.

[0009] Furthermore, the ballast truck is installed on a track and can move along the track or be fixed at a certain position of the track. The movement or fixation of the ballast truck is regulated by a monitoring and control system.

[0010] Furthermore, the ballast is placed in a ballast vehicle, and the material and weight of the ballast are selected according to the engineering conditions.

[0011] Furthermore, a full-length recess is provided above the cutting edge of the caisson, and the depth and width of the recess should meet the installation requirements of the support member.

[0012] Furthermore, after the caisson is sunk, the recess is also used as the installation position for pouring the bottom plate. Grouting pipes are pre-buried above the recess. When pouring the bottom plate, grout is pressed into the recess through the grouting pipe to ensure that the top surface of the recess is densely filled with concrete.

[0013] Furthermore, the support member includes three parts: a cantilever beam, a vertical plate, and an enlarged bottom.

[0014] Furthermore, the support member may be made of steel, or other materials that meet the bearing capacity requirements and are easy to construct.

[0015] Furthermore, the total height of the support member is equal to the distance from the top surface of the recess to the bottom surface of the blade foot.

[0016] Furthermore, the height of the cantilever beam is slightly smaller than the width of the notch, and the width of the cantilever beam is slightly larger than the depth of the notch.

[0017] Furthermore, the length of each support member should be controlled within 500 mm to 800 mm for easy transportation and installation.

[0018] Correspondingly, this solution also provides a caisson tilt correction method based on bottom support and top weight, which includes the following steps:

[0019] Arrange monitoring and control systems;

[0020] The tilt level is determined based on the shape, size, depth, geological conditions and surrounding environment of the caisson; wherein the tilt levels are divided into normal state, first-level tilt and second-level tilt according to the tilt angle from small to large;

[0021] The track is fixed on the top of the caisson wall, arranged in the center, and the ballast vehicle is installed on the track; the movement or fixation of the ballast vehicle is controlled by the monitoring and control system;

[0022] Prepare the finished support parts in a location where construction workers can obtain them at any time;

[0023] A full-length notch and grouting pipe are provided above the cutting edge of the caisson. The depth and width of the notch should meet the installation requirements of the support.

[0024] During the construction process, adjust the weight of the ballast in the ballast vehicle according to the actual situation;

[0025] Adjust the on-site construction status according to the instructions of the monitoring and control system.

[0026] Furthermore, the monitoring and control system should be able to monitor the caisson's posture in real time, calculate its inclination and determine the current inclination level of the caisson.

[0027] Furthermore, the classification of the inclination grades should be determined comprehensively based on the caisson shape, size, depth, geological conditions and surrounding environmental conditions.

[0028] Furthermore, the tilt levels are divided into normal state, first-level tilt, and second-level tilt according to the tilt angle from small to large.

[0029] Furthermore, when the current inclination level of the caisson is in a normal state, the on-site construction status is: the ballast vehicle moves at a constant speed along the track, the bottom of the blade foot maintains normal excavation, and the support members are not used.

[0030] Furthermore, when the current inclination grade of the caisson is level one, the on-site construction status is: the ballasting vehicle is fixed at the highest elevation of the top surface of the caisson wall, excavation is concentrated at the highest elevation of the bottom of the blade foot, excavation is suspended at the lowest elevation of the bottom of the blade foot, and the support parts are not used.

[0031] Furthermore, when the current inclination grade of the caisson is level 2, the on-site construction status is: the ballasting vehicle is fixed at the highest elevation of the top surface of the caisson wall, excavation is concentrated at the highest elevation of the bottom of the blade foot, excavation is suspended at the lowest elevation of the bottom of the blade foot, and the support is installed at the lowest elevation of the bottom of the blade foot.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0033] The top ballast equipment can change the center of gravity of the caisson to a certain extent by applying ballast to the top of the caisson. The position of the ballast vehicle and the amount of ballast applied can be adjusted by the command of the monitoring and control system to correct the caisson. The installation position and number of bottom supports can be adjusted according to the command of the monitoring and control system. When the caisson tilts, the supports can be set at the lowest elevation of the bottom of the blade to provide additional support and stability to offset the tilt of the caisson.

[0034] The track is fixed to the top of the caisson wall, and the ballast can be moved along the track or fixed in a certain position. By adjusting the position of the ballast and the amount of ballast applied, the center of gravity of the caisson can be changed, thereby correcting its deviation. The support is designed with a specific shape and size to fit the notch at the bottom of the blade foot. This design ensures that the support is firmly installed and provides effective support.

[0035] This type of structure is suitable for the correction of caissons under various geological conditions. It has a wide range of applications, good correction effects, low costs, convenient operation, and strong practicality. The top weight equipment and bottom support parts used can be reused, meeting the requirements of green and low-carbon. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
