Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of immersed tunnel construction technology, and in particular relates to an anti-corrosion connection structure for pipe sections of inland river immersed tunnels. Background Technology

[0002] The immersed tunnel method is a construction method for building tunnels underwater. Immersed tunnels are constructed by floating several prefabricated sections to the construction site and then sinking them one by one into a pre-dredged trench. The connecting structure is used to connect adjacent prefabricated sections. This connecting structure must withstand certain tensile, shear, and bending moments while ensuring the watertightness of the joints.

[0003] In response, Chinese Patent 200420081953.7 discloses a steel cable connection structure for pipe segment joints. This connection structure includes a steel cable body and fixed-end anchor rings at both ends of the cable body. The cable body has compression heads at both ends, and one end of the fixed-end anchor ring is equipped with a positioning collar. A connecting sleeve is fitted onto the outer wall of the positioning collar, which can create tensile constraints between adjacent pipe segments, preventing the pipe segment joint from opening under tension and compromising the waterproof reliability of the joint, and does not impose any additional constraints on the pipe segment joint. However, this connection structure lacks an anti-corrosion structure, resulting in susceptibility to corrosion, high maintenance costs, and a short service life. Summary of the Invention

[0033] See appendix Figures 1 to 5 This paper presents a schematic embodiment of the anti-corrosion connection structure for immersed tunnel sections in inland waterways proposed in this utility model. The anti-corrosion connection structure for immersed tunnel sections in inland waterways consists of a steel strand 1, a first fixed end anchor ring 2 and a second fixed end anchor ring 3 located at both ends of the steel strand 1, a steel pipe assembly 5, a steel strand sheath 6, and a first self-adhesive rubber strip 7.

[0034] The second fixed-end anchor ring 3 is provided with a positioning collar 4, which is close to one end of the second fixed-end anchor ring 3. The first fixed-end anchor ring 2 is located inside the steel pipe assembly 5, and the steel strand 1, the second fixed-end anchor ring 3, and the positioning collar 4 are pullable and installed inside the steel pipe assembly 5. When connected and used, the steel strand 1, the second fixed-end anchor ring 3, and the positioning collar 4 are pulled out of the steel pipe assembly 5.

[0035] A steel strand sheath 6 is disposed between the steel strand 1 and the positioning collar 4, and the steel strand sheath 6 is used to protect the steel strand 1. A first self-adhesive rubber tape 7 is detachably wrapped around the steel strand sheath 6, and the first self-adhesive rubber tape 7 is located at the end of the positioning collar 4 to seal the gap between the steel strand sheath 6 and the positioning collar 4.

[0036] The steel pipe assembly 5 includes a first steel pipe 51, a second steel pipe 52 and a third steel pipe 53 connected in sequence. The first steel pipe 51 is located at the same end as the first fixed end anchor ring 2, and the third steel pipe 53 is located at the same end as the second fixed end anchor ring 3.

[0037] The steel pipe assembly 5 also includes a first steel plate 54 and a wooden plug 55. The first steel plate 54 is located at the end of the first steel pipe 51, and the wooden plug 55 is detachably inserted at the end of the third steel pipe 53, so that the steel pipe assembly 5 forms a relatively closed space. The connecting structure is located within this closed space, preventing the intrusion of corrosive media, avoiding the accumulation of corrosive media and the occurrence of corrosion reactions, and improving the anti-corrosion effect. When connecting and using, the wooden plug 55 is removed, and then the steel strand 1, the second fixed end anchor ring 3, and the positioning collar 4 are pulled out of the steel pipe assembly 5.

[0038] To ensure a secure connection between the first steel pipe 51, the second steel pipe 52, and the third steel pipe 53, the steel pipe assembly 5 further includes a second steel plate 56 and a third steel plate 57. The second steel plate 56 is located at the connection between the first steel pipe 51 and the second steel pipe 52, and the third steel plate 57 is located at the connection between the second steel pipe 52 and the third steel pipe 53. In this embodiment, both the second steel plate 56 and the third steel plate 57 are annular steel plates.

[0039] To improve the load-bearing capacity of the second steel plate 56, multiple stiffening plates 561 are provided on the second steel plate 56, distributed circumferentially along the second steel plate 56. In this embodiment, four stiffening plates 561 are provided, which improves structural stability.

[0040] The anti-corrosion connection structure for the immersed tunnel sections in inland waterways also includes a connecting sleeve 8 and a fourth steel pipe 9. After pulling out the steel strand 1, the second fixed end anchor ring 3, and the positioning collar 4 from the steel pipe assembly 5, the connecting sleeve 8 and the fourth steel pipe 9 are installed. The connecting sleeve 8 is fitted onto the positioning collar 4, and the fourth steel pipe 9 is located between the connecting sleeve 8 and the steel pipe assembly 5. The fourth steel pipe 9 has an injection hole 91 and an vent hole 92. The connecting sleeve 8 is equipped with a clamp 10, and a second self-adhesive rubber tape 11 is wrapped around the end of the clamp 10. The second self-adhesive rubber tape 11 is wrapped to the design height, and then a telescopic rubber tube 12 is installed. The telescopic rubber tube 12 is connected to the clamp 10 to lock and cover the connecting sleeve 8.

[0041] To enhance corrosion resistance, in this embodiment, the corrosion-resistant connection structure of the immersed tunnel segment also includes heat-shrinkable tape 13, which covers the connecting sleeve 8 and the fourth steel pipe 9. The injection hole 91 and vent hole 92 on the fourth steel pipe 9 are used for grease injection. Specifically, the connecting sleeve 8 is first covered with heat-shrinkable tape 13, and then grease is injected into the cavity through the injection hole 91. Injection is stopped when grease continuously flows from the vent hole 92 for 10 seconds. Then, the fourth steel pipe 9 is covered with heat-shrinkable tape 13, which also covers the injection hole 91 and vent hole 92 to prevent grease leakage.

[0042] In the above illustrative embodiments, the anti-corrosion connection structure of the inland river immersed tunnel segment has good waterproof reliability and corrosion resistance, which improves the safety of the connection structure during use and extends the service life of the connection structure.
