[0044] Example:

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a shield segment longitudinal quick assembly connection device with high fastening force, including a connecting rod 2 and an assembly 7 assembled at both ends of the connecting rod 2, the assembly 7 is pre-buried in the segment, and the connecting rod 2 and the assembly 7 are symmetrically arranged along the annular seam surface of the segment.

[0047] Further, such as Figure 2 As shown, the connecting rod 2 includes a central column and rod bodies connected to both ends of the column. The outer wall of the rod is tooth-shaped, forming a tooth-like engagement with the interior of the assembly 7. The cross-sectional diameter of the connecting rod 2 gradually decreases as it moves away from the column.

[0049] like Figure 3As shown, the outer sleeve 1 is a hollow structure with both ends open, including a cylinder and a circular truncated cone connected to one end of the cylinder, and the cross-sectional diameter of the circular truncated cone gradually decreases away from the cylinder.

[0050] The limiting part includes a spring 5, a limiting end cover 6 and three wedge blocks 4. The limiting end cover 6 is fixed to one end of the cylinder away from the circular truncated cone, so that the opening of this end is closed. The limiting end cover 6 is used to insert the connecting rod 2 into a predetermined position. The three wedge blocks 4 are arranged inside the circular truncated cone and engage with the rod body of the connecting rod 2, so as to wrap the rod body. The anti-pulling force is provided by the mechanical engagement between the connecting rod 2 and the teeth of the wedge block 4. The spring 5 is connected between the wedge block 4 and the limiting end cover 6.

[0053] Further, as shown, Figure 5 The limiting end cover 6 is fixed with a protrusion for limiting the connecting rod 2 in the center of the outer sleeve 1. During the process of inserting the connecting rod 2 into the assembly 7, the three petals of the wedge block 4 gradually open and slide along the inner wall of the outer sleeve 1 to the inside of the pipe piece, while compressing the spring 5. When the rod body of the connecting rod 2 contacts the protrusion of the limiting end cover 6, the assembly is in place. At this time, the three petals of the wedge block 4 retract and tighten again, and the internal teeth engage with the outer wall of the rod body of the connecting rod 2, thereby providing an anti-pulling force to fix the connecting rod 2.

[0057] A through hole is horizontally arranged inside the tenon 3, and the upper and lower sides of the tenon 3 are pointed. The outer wall of the tenon 3 closely fits the inner wall of the groove 8.

[0058] The tenon 3 is sleeved on the outer wall of the columnar body of the connecting rod 2 through the through hole. The columnar body of the connecting rod 2 and the through hole have an interference fit, so as to fix the tenon 3 in the groove 8. The tenon 3 is used to assist pipe piece assembly and improve the shear capacity between the pipe piece rings.

[0059] The embodiment does not need the pipe segment longitudinal joint to be in a close state during the insertion of the connecting rod 2, and thus does not cause the deformation and damage of the waterproof sealing pad of the pipe segment longitudinal joint, so that the pipe segment assembly is not in a water leakage state after the pipe segment assembly is completed.

[0060] In the embodiment, the outer sleeve 1, the connecting rod 2, the tenon 3, the wedge block 4 and the spring 5 are made of low-carbon alloy steel, and the limiting end cover 6 is made of engineering plastic. The steel material is used to make the connecting device have good mechanical properties and high durability, and to make the pipe segment assembly simple.

[0061] The pipe segment assembly process is as follows:

[0062] During the pipe segment assembly and connection, the connecting rod 2 is inserted into the combined part 7 pre-buried in the pipe segment of the previous ring, and during the insertion process, the three petals of the wedge block 4 are gradually opened and slide to the inside of the pipe segment along the inner wall of the outer sleeve 1, and the spring 5 is compressed, and when the connecting rod 2 contacts the protrusion of the limiting end cover 6, the assembly is in place, at this time, the three petals of the wedge block 4 are retracted and tightened, the internal teeth are engaged with the rod body of the connecting rod 2, so that the connecting rod 2 is fixed, then the tenon 3 is sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting rod 2 columnar body, so that the tenon 3 is fixed in the groove 8, the next ring pipe segment is pushed along the tunnel axis direction by the shield jack, the exposed rod body of the connecting rod 2 fixed on the previous ring pipe segment is inserted into the combined part 7 pre-buried in the next ring pipe segment, and the mechanism during the insertion is the same as that of the connecting rod 2 inserted into the combined part 7 of the previous ring pipe segment, so that the assembly and connection between the pipe segment rings are completed.

[0063] In some embodiments, the type of the pipe segment longitudinal connecting device is not unique, and the combined part 7 pre-buried in the pipe segment can also be pre-buried on one side of the ring joint, and a threaded sleeve or the like is used on the other side, and a thread is arranged at the tail of the connecting rod, and during the pipe segment assembly, the connecting rod is assembled and connected with the pre-buried threaded sleeve, and is inserted into the combined part 7 pre-buried in the next ring pipe segment, so that the assembly between the pipe segment rings is realized. This needs to mark the assembly direction during the pipe segment production.

[0064] The above describes the utility model by using specific examples, which is only used to help understand the utility model, and does not limit the utility model. According to the idea of the utility model, the skilled person in the technical field to which the utility model belongs can make some simple deductions, deformations or substitutions.
