[0002] An immersed tube tunnel is a tunnel constructed by prefabricating sections of pipe with temporary waterstops at both ends. These sections are then floated to the tunnel axis and sunk into a pre-dug trench (foundation trench) to complete the underwater connection between the sections. The temporary waterstops are then removed, the foundation trench is backfilled to protect the immersed tubes, and the tunnel's internal facilities are laid, thus forming a complete underwater passage. The temporary limit device used for the final docking of the immersed tube tunnel refers to a device used during the construction of the immersed tube tunnel to ensure that the two adjacent immersed tubes can accurately and smoothly complete the docking operation.
[0003] Some of the temporary devices currently used for the final docking of immersed tube tunnels are usually fixed directly on the top of the immersed tube tunnel.

[0024] Example:
[0025] As attached Figure 1 To the attached Figure 4 As shown:
[0026] The utility model provides a temporary limiting device for the final docking of an immersed tube tunnel, comprising a first limiting frame 1 and a second limiting frame 2, a pair of limiting straight grooves 3 being provided at the top of the first limiting frame 1, a pair of inclined guide plates 4 being installed at the positions on both sides of each limiting straight groove 3 at the top of the first limiting frame 1, a mounting groove 5 being provided at the top inside the second limiting frame 2, a pair of first hydraulic rods 6 being installed in the mounting groove 5, and the output ends of the pair of first hydraulic rods 6 both pass through one side of the second limiting frame 2 and extend to the outside of the second limiting frame 2, a T-shaped block 7 being installed on one side of the output end of the first hydraulic rod 6, a pair of slide grooves 8 being symmetrically provided on the inner side of the first limiting frame 1 and the inner side of the second limiting frame 2, an extrusion plate 9 being slidably installed in the slide groove 8, a mounting seat 10 being installed on one side of the slide groove 8, a second hydraulic rod 11 being installed in the mounting seat 10, and the output end of the second hydraulic rod 11 passing through one side of the mounting seat 10 and connected to the extrusion plate 9.
[0027] Among them, the size of the first limit frame 1 and the size of the second limit frame 2 are matched with the size of the immersed tube tunnel, which facilitates the rapid installation of the first limit frame 1 and the second limit frame 2 on the two immersed tube tunnel pipe sections, and enables the first limit frame 1 and the second limit frame 2 to fit tightly with the immersed tube tunnel pipe sections, thereby improving the stability of the first limit frame 1 and the second limit frame 2 during use and improving the limiting effect.
[0028] Among them, the position and size of a pair of T-shaped blocks 7 match the position and size of a pair of limiting straight grooves 3, so that during the descent of the immersed tube tunnel pipe section and the second limiting frame 2, the T-shaped blocks 7 can be stuck in the limiting straight grooves 3, and through the contraction of the first hydraulic rod 6, the immersed tube tunnel pipe section is pulled to move, thereby assisting the alignment and movement of the immersed tube tunnel pipe section.
[0029] Among them, the extrusion plate 9 is installed with an anti-slip pad 12 on the side away from the second hydraulic rod 11. Through the extension of the second hydraulic rod 11, the extrusion plate 9 can be tightly attached to one side of the immersed tube tunnel section, and the anti-slip pad 12 increases the friction between the extrusion plate 9 and the immersed tube tunnel section, thereby improving the stability of the first limit frame 1 and the second limit frame 2 after installation.
[0030] Among them, each slide groove 8 is set through, and each slide groove 8 passes through one side of the first limit frame 1 and the second limit frame 2 respectively, so as to facilitate the discharge of water accumulated between the extrusion plate 9 and the immersed tube tunnel section during the movement of the extrusion plate 9, thereby preventing water from accumulating between the extrusion plate 9 and the immersed tube tunnel and affecting the movement of the extrusion plate 9.
[0031] A plurality of drainage holes 13 are provided on one side of the extrusion plate 9 to facilitate drainage of water accumulated between the extrusion plate 9 and the immersed tunnel section during movement of the extrusion plate 9 .
[0032] Among them, several lifting frames 14 are installed on the top of the first limiting frame 1 and the top of the second limiting frame 2, which are convenient for lifting the first limiting frame 1 and the second limiting frame 2 and convenient for controlling the movement of the first limiting frame 1 and the second limiting frame 2.
[0033] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: after the position of the immersed tunnel pipe section is preliminarily aligned, the staff places the first limiting frame 1 on one side of the already installed immersed tunnel pipe section, and places the second limiting frame 2 on the side of the immersed tunnel pipe section to be installed, so that the first limiting frame 1 and the second limiting frame 2 are close to the connection between the two immersed tunnel pipe sections, and then the second hydraulic rod 11 is opened to extend the second hydraulic rod 11 and drive the extrusion plate 9 to move. During the movement of the extrusion plate 9, the water accumulated between the extrusion plate 9 and the immersed tunnel pipe section is discharged from the drainage hole 13 and the chute 8, so that the extrusion plate 9 can be tightly attached to one side of the immersed tunnel pipe section, thereby fixing the first limiting frame 1 and the second limiting frame 2. Then the staff moves the second limiting frame installed. The immersed tube tunnel section of the frame 2 is controlled to move the T-shaped block 7 to a position directly above the limiting straight groove 3, and then the immersed tube tunnel section with the second limiting frame 2 is controlled to descend, so that the T-shaped block 7 completely enters the limiting straight groove 3 along the inclined guide plate 4, and then the first hydraulic rod 6 is controlled to retract. Since the T-shaped block 7 is limited by the limiting straight groove 3, when aligning and splicing two immersed tube tunnels, it assists in pulling the immersed tube tunnel section to be installed. After the alignment is completed, the staff can perform the final docking. After the final docking is completed, the staff controls the second hydraulic rod 11 to retract so that the extrusion plate 9 is no longer in close contact with the immersed tube tunnel section, and then uses the hoist to lift the second limiting frame 2 and the first limiting frame 1 in turn, and the limiting device can be quickly removed for easy reuse.
[0034] The embodiments of the present invention are provided for purposes of illustration and description and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the disclosed forms. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments are selected and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for specific applications.
