Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of inter-ring limiting components for shield tunnel segments assembly, and particularly relates to a novel positioning tenon structure for tunnel segments. Background Art

[0002] At present, in shield tunnel construction, the main methods for assembling the longitudinal and circumferential joints between the segments are as follows: (1) concrete segment socket-and-socket structure; (2) concrete segment embedded component structure; and (3) concrete segment inter-ring limiting component structure. Among them, the concrete segment inter-ring limiting component structure requires little modification to the segment formwork, causes little damage to the segment structure, has a simple assembly operation method, has strong resistance to shear deformation, and has good positioning effect. However, the existing concrete segment ring limiting components still have the following problems: (1) The diameter of the through hole of the existing positioning tenon body is too small to meet the space requirement of the bend of the PVC pipe for the segment bolt to pass through; (2) In the later stage of shield tunneling, the segment bolt holes, tenon holes and tenon grooves need to be sealed and protected. After sealing, the segment bolts and the segment are required to be firmly connected and not fall off. The bolt holes, tenon holes and tenon grooves are required to meet the pull-out resistance requirements after sealing. The sealing is carried out by micro-expansion cement + polypropylene fiber. The outer circle of the existing positioning tenon structure has no buckle, which cannot form the nesting and meshing of the positioning tenon and the sealing material, and cannot meet the pull-out resistance requirements after the bolt holes, tenon holes and tenon grooves are sealed. (3) The existing positioning tenon structure cannot remove and store debris such as mud, loose cement blocks in the tenon holes and tenon grooves, making it difficult to ensure the assembly accuracy of the annular seam segment. This makes it difficult to achieve good results in segment positioning, connection, and load-bearing, thereby reducing the final tunnel molding quality. Therefore, it is necessary to propose improvements. Utility Model Content

[0030] See also Figure 1-9 , describe in detail the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0031] Example: A new positioning tenon structure for tunnel segments, see Figure 1-6 As shown, it includes a positioning tenon structure body, the center of which is a through hole to facilitate the passage of the segment bolts through the PVC pipe. The outer circle of the positioning tenon structure body is composed of three parts: the tenon hole joint end 1, the tenon groove joint end 2, and the annular seam shear surface 3. The tenon hole joint end 1 and the tenon groove joint end 2 are respectively located at the two ends of the annular seam shear surface 3. The outer tapers of the tenon hole joint end 1 and the tenon groove joint end 2 are different. The outer circle of the tenon hole joint end 1 is uniformly distributed with multiple annular steps 1-1, and multiple ridges 1-2 are uniformly distributed longitudinally along the annular steps 1-1. The annular steps 1-1 and the ridges 1-2 are used to create an interference fit between the positioning tenon and the tenon hole.

[0032] In this embodiment, a new positioning tenon structure is used to assemble the segments, which not only reduces the difficulty of installing the segment bolts, but also has the ability to withstand the counter-torque of the shield machine after the shield tail is disengaged, so that the whole process of segment positioning, connection and bearing can be guaranteed, and ultimately the forming quality of the tunnel can be guaranteed.

[0033] Preferably, the mortise and tenon joint ends 1 and the mortise and tenon joint ends 2 on both sides are of equal length along the annular seam shear surface 3 .

[0034] In a specific embodiment: the outer circle of the mortise and tenon joint end 1 is formed by one taper, and the outer circle of the mortise and tenon joint end 2 is formed by two tapers. The outer circle of the mortise and tenon joint end 2 has one taper near the annular seam and another taper near the mortise.

[0035] In a specific embodiment: the outer circle of the mortise and tenon joint end 1 is evenly distributed with 7 annular steps 1-1, and 6 ridges 1-2 are evenly distributed longitudinally along the annular steps 1-1. The annular steps and the longitudinal ridges are used to position the tenon and the mortise to produce an interference fit.

[0036] The outer circles of the non-stress-bearing surfaces between the adjacent ridges 1-2 are scraped to form six outer circles of the stress-bearing surfaces of the mortise holes 1-3 evenly distributed corresponding to the ridges 1-2. The width of the outer circles of the stress-bearing surfaces of the mortise holes 1-3 is 12 mm. After calculation and verification, the outer circles of the stress-bearing surfaces of the mortise holes 1-3 can meet the shear force of 150 kN between the seams without breaking. The outer circles of the non-stress-bearing surfaces between the adjacent ridges 1-2 are scraped to form the outer circles of the non-stress-bearing surfaces of the mortise holes 1-4.

[0037] After the outer circle of the tenon-groove joint end 2 is scraped, 6 evenly distributed outer circles of the tenon-groove stress-bearing surface 2-1 are formed. The width of the outer circle of the tenon-groove stress-bearing surface 2-1 is 12 mm. After calculation and verification, the outer circle of the tenon-groove stress-bearing surface 2-1 can meet the shear force of 150KN between the seams without breaking; after the outer circle of the non-stress-bearing surface between the adjacent outer circles of the tenon-groove stress-bearing surface 2-1 is scraped, the outer circle of the tenon-groove non-stress-bearing surface 2-2 is formed.

[0038] The length of the outer circle 1-4 of the non-stress-bearing surface of the mortise hole and the outer circle 2-2 of the non-stress-bearing surface of the mortise groove are both 1 / 3 of the length of the positioning mortise structure.

[0039] In a specific embodiment: the outer circle 1-4 of the non-stress-bearing surface of the mortise hole and the outer circle 2-2 of the non-stress-bearing surface of the mortise groove are both cylindrical surfaces, and the diameter is the median value of the annular seam shear surface.

[0040] In this embodiment, 7 annular steps and 6 ridges are optimized and designed for the mortise and tenon joint end to ensure the maximum interference fit of the mortise and tenon assembly, and the cross-section of the non-stress-bearing surface is optimized to ensure the functionality and cost-effectiveness.

[0041] In a specific embodiment, the length of the annular shear surface 3 between the mortise and tenon joint end 1 and the mortise and tenon joint end 2 is 1 / 3 of the length of the positioning tenon structure.

[0042] Preferred: The new positioning tenon structure is injection molded by glass fiber reinforced polyamide material, which has the advantages of small modification to the pipe segment template, small damage to the pipe segment structure, simple assembly operation method, strong resistance to shear deformation, and good positioning effect; it has good mechanical properties, and has obvious advantages such as high dimensional stability, good consistency, high strength, good toughness, corrosion resistance, good insulation, high softening point, and good heat resistance.

[0043] The main technical parameters of this new locating tenon structure are: (1) The locating tenon can withstand a 150kN inter-seam shear force without breaking. (2) The elastic deformation of the locating tenon during the shear test shall not exceed 10mm. (3) The plastic deformation capacity of the locating tenon can reach a shear deformation of 3mm without failure. (4) After the fatigue test, there is no obvious damage on the appearance.

[0044] Instructions for use of this new positioning tenon structure:

[0045] (1) Use professional jack tools to install the tenon hole side of the pipe segment first, and ensure that the position tolerances of the tenon, tenon hole and bolt hole meet the coaxiality accuracy level;

[0046] (2) After installing the mortise and tenon side of the segment, the position tolerances of the mortise and tenon and the bolt holes shall meet the coaxiality accuracy level, such as Figure 7-9 As shown;

[0047] (3) Visually determine whether the penetration and interference fit of the locating tenon in the tenon hole and the tenon groove meet the installation standards, and ensure that the segment structure and the locating tenon are free of damage by "looking, listening, touching, and leaning", and that the straightness and roundness of the longitudinal and circumferential seams of the segment meet the requirements;

[0048] (4) Insert the PVC sleeve and segment bolts through the grouting holes on the inner wall of the segment and pour in self-compacting concrete.

[0049] (5) The design service life of the locating tenon is 100 years. The installation process is a concealed project. Therefore, the factory reliability, durability and adaptability requirements of the locating tenon product are also 100 years.

[0050] (6) If the positioning tenon is found to be damaged by "looking, listening, touching and leaning" during the installation process, it should be replaced in time; after the installation is completed, use a horizontal ruler to check the flatness deviation of the adjacent pipe segments of the circumferential seam and longitudinal seam within 3mm, which can determine that the plastic deformation capacity of the positioning tenon can reach 3mm of shear deformation without failure.

[0051] The advantages of this utility model are as follows: the diameter of the through-hole of the positioning tenon structure is relatively large, which is sufficient to meet the space required for the bend of the PVC pipe through which the segment bolts pass; the outer circle of the positioning tenon structure body has a buckle, which can form a nesting and meshing between the positioning tenon and the sealing material, meeting the pull-out resistance requirements after the bolt hole, tenon hole, and tenon groove are blocked; the positioning tenon structure can remove and store debris such as mud and loose cement blocks in the tenon hole and tenon groove, ensuring the assembly accuracy of the annular seam segment. This ensures that the segment positioning, connection, and load-bearing are achieved, and the final tunnel forming quality is guaranteed.
