The female joint is composed of a water-stop steel plate, geotextile, and longitudinal reinforcing bars. Several longitudinal reinforcing bars are arranged side by side and pass through the water-stop steel plate. Two water-stop steel plates are provided, located at both ends of the longitudinal reinforcing bars. The geotextile wraps around the side by side longitudinal reinforcing bars, and both ends of the geotextile are fixed to the outside of the two water-stop steel plates. The longitudinal reinforcing bars at both ends of the female joint are arranged in a ring. The end of the male joint is provided with a ring-shaped connector, which is connected to the inside of the longitudinal reinforcing bars of the female joint.
[0006] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the waterstop steel plate has several sets of reinforcing bar holes, which are arranged in a ring array. The longitudinal reinforcing bars pass through the reinforcing bar holes and are fixed to the waterstop steel plate by welding.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the waterstop steel plate and the geotextile are fixed together by bolts and nuts, and a gasket is fixedly provided on the outside of the waterstop steel plate. The geotextile is wrapped around the gasket, and the bolt passes through the waterstop steel plate, geotextile, gasket and geotextile in sequence and is then fixed to the nut.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The socket joint provided by this utility model is composed of two sets of joints that are connected to each other. It uses geotextile to achieve the function of preventing flow around the flow. It has the advantages of good overall stress performance, high structural strength and rigidity, and prevention of leakage of pressurized water. It has broad market application prospects.

[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0015] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a socket joint for underground continuous wall, including: a female joint 1 and a male joint 2. The female joint 1 is composed of a water-stop steel plate 3, geotextile 4, and longitudinal steel bars 8. Several longitudinal steel bars 8 are arranged side by side and pass through the water-stop steel plate 3. Two water-stop steel plates 3 are provided and are respectively located at both ends of the longitudinal steel bars 8. The geotextile 4 is wrapped around the outside of the side by side longitudinal steel bars 8, and both ends of the geotextile 4 are respectively fixed to the outside of the two water-stop steel plates 3. The longitudinal steel bars 8 at both ends of the female joint 1 are arranged in a ring. The end of the male joint 2 is provided with a ring joint, which is connected to the inside of the longitudinal steel bars 8 of the female joint 1.
[0016] The waterstop steel plate 3 has several sets of reinforcing bar holes, which are arranged in a ring array. The longitudinal reinforcing bars 8 pass through the reinforcing bar holes and are fixed to the waterstop steel plate 3 by welding.
[0017] The water-stop steel plate 3 is fixed to the longitudinal steel bar 8 by welding to form the skeleton of the entire female joint 1. The welding method is stable and ensures the overall strength of the female joint 1.
[0018] The waterstop steel plate 3 and the geotextile 4 are fixed together by bolts 6 and nuts 7, and a gasket 5 is fixed on the outside of the waterstop steel plate 3. The geotextile 4 is wrapped around the gasket 5. The bolts 6 pass through the waterstop steel plate 3, the geotextile 4, the gasket 5, and the geotextile 4 in sequence and are then fixed to each other with the nuts 7.
[0019] Geotextile 4 is wrapped around the outside of longitudinal steel bar 8 to achieve the function of preventing flow around; two layers of geotextile 4 are wrapped with gasket 5 to fix the bolts 6 and nuts 7, increasing the connection points between geotextile 4 and bolts 6, thereby improving the stability of geotextile 4 fixation.
[0020] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:
[0021] The socket joint is divided into two types: female joint 1 and male joint 2, which are respectively set at both ends of the first open section of the reinforcing cage and the closed section of the reinforcing cage. The first open section of the reinforcing cage has a ring structure formed by the longitudinal reinforcing bars 8 of the female joint 1 at both ends. The male joint 2 forms a ring joint by setting bent reinforcing bars at both ends. The ring joint is connected to the inside of the longitudinal reinforcing bars 8 of the female joint 1, thereby realizing the connection between the first open section of the reinforcing cage and the closed section of the reinforcing cage.
