Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of tunnel test simulation, and particularly relates to a shield segment simulation floating test device. Background Technique

[0002] In the construction of shield tunnels, for the segments that have just exited the tail of the shield, local or overall floating often occurs, which has been confirmed by many engineering practices. Common phenomena include cracks, breakages, segment misalignment, and even axis deviation. In water-rich areas, these problems are particularly prominent.

[0003] Controlling the floating of segments is very important in shield tunnel engineering. There are many influencing factors for segment floating. Among them, the buoyancy force on the shield segment can be divided into "static buoyancy force" and "dynamic buoyancy force". The static buoyancy force is caused by slurry, grouting slurry, or groundwater wrapping the segments, causing local segments to be immersed in a liquid environment, thereby generating buoyancy force; the dynamic buoyancy force is a force that may cause segment floating, local misalignment, cracking, crushing, or other damage forms during the construction process of post-grouting behind the segment wall of the shield tail. However, when monitoring the floating amount of segments, more attention is paid to the dynamic buoyancy force, and it is difficult to monitor the change in the floating amount caused by the static buoyancy force.

[0028] In a typical embodiment of the present utility model, as Figures 1 - 3 shown, a shield segment simulated floating test device is proposed.

[0029] In current shield tunnel engineering, the monitoring of segment floating mostly considers the dynamic buoyancy force, that is, the force that may cause segment floating, local dislocation, cracking, crushing or other damages during the construction process of post-grouting behind the segment wall at the shield tail, without considering the static buoyancy force. Based on this, this embodiment provides a shield segment simulated floating test device, which uses the model box 2 combined with sensors to measure the segment floating on the slurry 8, obtains the floating displacement and floating acting force of the specimen 6 during the solidification process of the slurry 8, can effectively simulate the floating phenomenon of the segment during the solidification process of the slurry 8, and provides reliable data support for the floating control of the segment during actual construction.

[0030] As Figure 1 shown, the shield segment simulated floating test device includes a model frame 12 and a controller 13. The model frame 12 is used to establish a test environment for the specimen 6 and simulate the static floating test of the specimen 6. The controller 13 is used to obtain the floating displacement and floating force of the specimen 6 during static floating.

[0031] In this embodiment, the model frame 12 includes a model box 2, a bottom plate 3, a portal structure 1 and sensors. The top surface of the bottom plate 3 bears the model box 2. The model box 2 is provided with a cavity with an open top. The cavity is used to accommodate the slurry 8. A support is provided above the cavity. The support is connected to the bottom plate 3 through support rods and is erected above the cavity. Specifically, both ends of the support are respectively connected to the bottom plate 3 through support rods. After the support is connected to the support rods, a portal structure 1 is formed. The portal structure 1 is arranged across the model box 2. The sensors are installed on the portal structure 1. The sensors include a pressure sensor 4 and a displacement sensor 9. The pressure sensor 4 and the displacement sensor 9 are installed on the support. The detection ends of the pressure sensor 4 and the displacement sensor 9 are respectively connected with a force transmission rod 5. The end of the force transmission rod 5 extends into the cavity to abut against the specimen 6 floating in the slurry 8.

[0032] The controller 13 is connected to the pressure sensor 4 and the displacement sensor 9. The pressure sensor 4 is used to measure the pressure information exerted by the specimen 6 on the force transmission rod 5 and send it to the controller 13. The displacement sensor 9 is used to measure the displacement information generated by the specimen 6 pushing the force transmission rod 5 and send it to the controller 13.

[0033] As Figure 1 shown, the model box 2 is the core component of the shield segment simulated floating test device. It is mainly composed of a rectangular box body. The size of the box body can be designed according to actual needs to ensure that it can accommodate enough slurry 8 and simulate the environment in actual construction. An opening is provided at the top of the box body to facilitate the injection of the slurry 8 and the placement of the specimen 6. The bottom and the surrounding of the box body are made of high-strength and corrosion-resistant materials to ensure that there will be no leakage or deformation during the test. It can be made of transparent acrylic board.

[0034] In this embodiment, the specimen 6 can be a segment made of carbon fiber material and is placed in the slurry 8 of the model box 2.

[0035] Above the opening at the top of the model box 2, a stable support is installed. The support can adopt a single rod structure or can be composed of multiple cross beams and columns to form a stable frame structure. On the support, the pressure sensor 4 and the displacement sensor 9 are accurately installed according to the test requirements. Each sensor is installed on the support through a special fixing device to ensure its stable position and accurate measurement.

[0036] The detection end of the pressure sensor 4 is connected to the test piece 6 through a slender force transfer rod 5. The force transfer rod 5 is made of a material with high strength and low deformation to ensure that the pressure exerted by the test piece 6 on the force transfer rod 5 can be accurately transmitted.

[0037] The displacement sensor 9 is also connected to the test piece 6 through the force transfer rod 5. However, the force transfer rod 5 of the displacement sensor 9 needs to be designed with a certain degree of flexibility in order to accurately measure the small displacement generated by the test piece 6 during the solidification of the slurry 8. Support rods are respectively provided on both sides of the model box 2. The pressure sensor 4 and the displacement sensor 9 are located outside the cavity to reduce the influence on the pressure sensor 4 and the displacement sensor 9 when adjusting the position of the model box 2 before and after the test.

[0038] The bottom plate 3 provides a stable support platform for the model box 2. Its top surface is flat and smooth to reduce the influence on the bottom of the model box 2. The bottom plate 3 can be made of heavy steel plates or concrete plates to ensure its bearing capacity and stability. The support is connected to the bottom plate 3 through multiple support rods. The support rods are designed with adjustable lengths to facilitate flexible adjustment according to the size of the model box 2 and the test requirements. The connection methods of the support rods with the support and the bottom plate 3 need to be firm and reliable to withstand various forces during the test process.

[0039] The controller 13 serves as the center of the entire test device and is responsible for receiving data signals from the pressure sensor 4 and the displacement sensor 9. The controller 13 is built-in with a high-performance data acquisition module, which can record the pressure change amount and displacement change amount of the test piece 6 during the solidification of the slurry 8 in real time and accurately.

[0040] In this embodiment, the controller 13 includes a static strain test system 10 and a computer 11. The static strain test system 10 can acquire the data of the pressure sensor 4 and the displacement sensor 9 and perform preliminary processing, and then send it to the computer 11. The computer 11 is equipped with a display screen, which can display various data during the test in real time, facilitating the operator to observe the test progress at any time. At the same time, the controller 13 also has a data storage function, and can automatically save the test data to the built-in memory or external storage device for subsequent data analysis and processing.

[0041] In this embodiment, the static strain test system 10 can adopt a DH3820 high-speed static test system, with a maximum sampling frequency of 100Hz and a maximum of 32 channels of data acquisition simultaneously. This acquisition instrument can cooperate with various bridge sensors to realize synchronous sampling monitoring of physical quantities such as pressure and displacement.

[0042] The controller 13 also has preliminary data analysis capabilities, capable of performing simple processing and analysis on the collected data, such as calculating statistical indicators like the average value and standard deviation. In addition, the controller 13 can automatically determine whether abnormal situations occur during the test process according to preset thresholds or conditions, and promptly issue an alarm or take corresponding control measures.

[0043] As Figure 3 shown, during the test, assemble the experimental model frame 12, place the model box 2 on the bottom plate 3, and adjust the positions of the brackets and struts. Insert the force transfer rods 5 of the pressure sensor 4 and the displacement sensor 9 into the designated positions inside the model box 2, and connect the sensors to the controller 13. Prepare the slurry 8 in advance, inject an appropriate amount of slurry 8 through the opening at the top of the model box 2, place the specimen 6, and ensure that the specimen 6 can be affected during the solidification process of the slurry 8. Start the controller 13 and begin to record the pressure change and displacement change of the specimen 6 during the solidification process of the slurry 8. The operator needs to closely monitor the test process, observe the changes of the specimen 6, and record the test data in a timely manner. After the test, import the collected data into the computer 11 and use professional data analysis software for further processing and analysis to obtain the test results and conclusions.

[0044] The shield segment simulation floating test device has the advantages of reasonable structure, simple operation, accurate measurement, etc., and can effectively simulate the floating phenomenon of the segment during the solidification process of the slurry 8, providing reliable data support for the floating control of the segment during actual construction.

[0045] As Figure 1 shown, universal wheels 7 are connected to the bottom plate 3. The universal wheels 7 are arranged at the four corner positions of the bottom plate 3, carrying the bottom plate 3 and capable of driving the entire model frame 12 to adjust its position. The universal wheels 7 are provided with locking members to lock or unlock the rotation of the universal wheels 7. Unlock the universal wheels 7 when position adjustment is required to enable the universal wheels 7 to rotate freely, and lock the universal wheels 7 after selecting the position and conduct the test.

[0046] As Figure 2 shown, an ultrasonic acquisition component is installed on a set of opposite side surfaces of the model box 2. The ultrasonic acquisition component includes an ultrasonic transmitter 14 and an ultrasonic receiver 15. The ultrasonic transmitter 14 is installed on one side surface of the model box 2, and the ultrasonic receiver 15 is installed on the other side surface of the model box 2, and the connection line of the positions where the ultrasonic transmitter 14 and the ultrasonic receiver 15 are located passes through the specimen 6. The ultrasonic transmitter 14 and the ultrasonic receiver 15 are respectively connected to the controller 13. The ultrasonic receiver 15 is used to receive the ultrasonic signal passing through the cavity released by the ultrasonic transmitter 14 and send it to the controller 13, and the controller 13 is used to control the working parameters of the ultrasonic transmitter 14.

[0047] Specifically, a non-contact measurement method is provided for real-time monitoring of the position change of the segment specimen 6 during the solidification of the slurry 8. The ultrasonic transmitter 14 is installed on one side of the model box 2, while the corresponding ultrasonic receiver 15 is installed on the other side of the model box 2. The installation positions of these two components need to be accurately aligned to ensure that the connection line between them can pass through the center of the specimen 6 or the predetermined monitoring point for accurate measurement of the position of the specimen 6.

[0048] The ultrasonic transmitter 14 is responsible for emitting high-frequency ultrasonic signals, which will pass through the slurry 8 in the model box 2 and shoot towards the specimen 6. The ultrasonic receiver 15 receives the ultrasonic signals reflected from the specimen 6 and converts them into electrical signals to be sent to the controller 13 for processing. The ultrasonic transmitter 14 and the ultrasonic receiver 15 are respectively connected to the controller 13 through dedicated lines. The controller 13 is not only responsible for receiving the signals sent by the ultrasonic receiver 15, but also for controlling the working parameters of the ultrasonic transmitter 14, such as the emission frequency, pulse width, etc., to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the measurement results.

[0049] The controller 13 is built-in with a dedicated algorithm for processing the signals sent by the ultrasonic receiver 15. By calculating the time difference (i.e., the acoustic time) from the emission to the reception of the ultrasonic wave, combined with the known sound wave velocity and the size parameters of the model box 2, the current position of the specimen 6 can be accurately calculated. In addition, the controller 13 can also record the change of the position of the specimen 6 over time in real-time, generate a dynamic change curve of the floating process, and provide intuitive data support for researchers.

[0050] After adding the ultrasonic acquisition component, the test process will be optimized as follows:

[0051] As Figure 3 shown, in addition to the preparation of the original equipment such as the model box 2, brackets, sensors, etc., it is also necessary to ensure the correct installation and connection of the ultrasonic acquisition component. Set the working parameters of the ultrasonic transmitter 14 through the controller 13, such as the emission frequency, pulse width, etc., to adapt to different test requirements. Start the controller 13, and at the same time start the ultrasonic acquisition component and other sensors (such as the pressure sensor 4 and the displacement sensor 9). The ultrasonic transmitter 14 starts to emit ultrasonic signals, and the ultrasonic receiver 15 receives and sends the signals to the controller 13 for processing. The controller 13 records the pressure, displacement, and position change data of the specimen 6 in real-time during the solidification of the slurry 8. The non-contact measurement method provided by the ultrasonic acquisition component will effectively supplement and verify the data of other sensors. After the test, the collected data is imported into the computer 11 and further processed and analyzed using professional data analysis software.

[0052] In particular, the data provided by the ultrasonic acquisition component can be used to generate a dynamic change curve graph or a three-dimensional animation of the floating process of the test piece 6, visually showing the floating behavior of the test piece 6 during the solidification process of the slurry 8. It can be understood that the measured data can also be imported into BIM software, a three-dimensional model can be established according to requirements, and then the displacement of the segment floating under the action of the static buoyancy force during the solidification process of the slurry 8 can be simulated.

[0053] After adding the ultrasonic acquisition component, the shield segment floating simulation test device has been significantly improved in terms of measurement accuracy, visualization level, and data richness, and can better meet the needs of research and analysis.

[0054] For the installation of the pressure sensor 4 and the displacement sensor 9, shielding shells are respectively provided outside the pressure sensor 4 and the displacement sensor 9 to reduce the influence of external components on the measurement accuracy of the sensors. The shielding shells are detachably connected to the bracket. Among them, a magnetic adsorption method can be selected for installation. Magnetic adsorption patches are provided on the shielding shells, and magnetic adsorption blocks are arranged at the positions corresponding to the pressure sensor 4 and the displacement sensor 9 on the bracket. The magnetic adsorption patches are adsorbed on the magnetic adsorption blocks to connect the pressure sensor 4 and the displacement sensor 9 to the bracket.

[0055] In other alternative embodiments, the shielding shell is connected to the bracket through fasteners, and the fasteners can be bolts, screws, etc.

[0056] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various changes and modifications can be made to the present invention. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
