[0026] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment of the present invention provides a connecting device 1 between a steel caisson 2 and a buoyancy plate 3, including a circular base plate 11, a waterstop 13, fasteners, and lateral support members 12. In this embodiment, the fasteners are high-strength bolt assemblies 15. In terms of overall structure, the outer contour of the circular base plate 11 matches the inner contour of the steel caisson 2. The lateral support members 12 are welded at intervals to the top of the circular base plate 11 along its extension direction. The waterstop 13 is located at the bottom of the circular base plate 11 and closes along its extension direction. When it is necessary to connect the steel caisson 2 and the buoyancy plate 3, the outer edge of the circular base plate 11 is sealed to the inner wall of the steel liner, and the high-strength bolt assembly 15 detachably fixes the buoyancy plate 3 to the bottom of the circular base plate 11. At this time, the waterstop 13 is squeezed by the circular base plate 11 and the buoyancy plate 3, providing full-circumference waterproofing. The lateral support 12 is welded to the steel caisson 2 to improve the lateral stiffness of the connecting device 1 when connected to the steel caisson 2.
[0027] The structure and connection relationship of each component of the connecting device 1 will now be further explained with reference to the figures.
[0028] It is easy to understand that, to achieve waterproofing, the outer contour of the graphic base plate 11 should match the inner contour of the steel caisson 2 to achieve a full-circumference sealed connection. Simultaneously, the width of the graphic base plate 11 should be greater than the distance from the buoyancy aid 3 to the inner wall of the steel caisson 2. For example... Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the graphic bottom plate 11 is generally square and has chamfers of different forms at the corners. In other embodiments, according to the contour of the steel caisson 2, the graphic bottom plate 11 can be circular, regular polygon, etc. The graphic bottom plate 11 is closed along the extension direction. In this embodiment, the graphic bottom plate 11 and the corbel 121 described below are made of Q355 steel plates with a thickness of 16 mm.
[0029] As Figure 1 shown, a number of the lateral support members 12 are arranged at intervals on the graphic bottom plate 11 in the extension direction. The corbels 121 are the lateral support members 12 with a top view of "cross" and "field" shapes, while the stiffening ribs are the lateral support members 12 with a top view of "one" shape. For the convenience of description, the lateral support member 12 with a "cross" shape is defined as the first corbel 1211, and the lateral support member 12 with a "field" shape is defined as the second corbel 1212. Now, in combination with Figure 1 , Figure 3 , different types of lateral support members 12 will be described.
[0030] The first corbel 1211 includes a web 1213, a rib plate 1214 and a top plate 1215. The web 1213 is perpendicularly welded to the top of the graphic bottom plate 11 along the width direction of the graphic bottom plate 11. The rib plate 1214 is perpendicularly welded to both the graphic bottom plate 11 and the web 1213 at the same time, and forms a "cross" structure with the web 1213 to improve the lateral stiffness of the web 1213. The top plate 1215 is parallel to the graphic bottom plate 11, and the bottom is perpendicularly welded to the top of the web 1213. The graphic bottom plate 11, the web 1213 and the top plate 1215 are flush with each other in the vertical direction on the outside, so that the first corbel 1211 can be welded to the inner wall of the steel caisson 2 on this side. Compared with the first corbel 1211, the second corbel 1212 is provided with three parallel webs 1213, so it has stronger bearing capacity. Therefore, as Figure 1 shown, for each side of the graphic bottom plate 11, the second corbel 1212 is often arranged at the mid-span position to compensate for the lower structural stiffness at this position. It should be understood that in other embodiments, the number of the webs 1213 of the second corbel 1212 can be two, or four or more. Such non-substantive replacements should not depart from the protection scope of the present invention.
[0031] By Figure 1It can be seen that the stiffening plate 123 is arranged between any two adjacent corbels 121. The stiffening plate 123 is similar to the web plate 1213 in structure and connection mode: the stiffening plate 123 is arranged in the extension direction of the ring-shaped floor 11; the stiffening plate 123 is vertically welded to the top of the patterned floor 11 in the width direction of the ring-shaped floor 11; and the stiffening plate 123 is flush with the patterned floor 11 in the vertical direction on the outer side. In order to ensure that the connection device 1 has sufficient structural rigidity, the distance between any one stiffening plate 123 and the adjacent stiffening plate 123 or web plate 1213 in the extension direction of the patterned floor 11 is not more than 400 mm. In other words, the edge distance between any two adjacent lateral support members 12 is not more than 400 mm.
[0032] As shown in Figures 3-4 The waterstop 13 is bonded to the bottom of the ring-shaped floor 11 and is composed of water pressure bearing rubber 131 and water-swelling rubber 132 in parallel in the extension direction of the ring-shaped floor 11. In this embodiment, the thickness of the water pressure bearing rubber 131 is 10 mm and the width is 80 mm; the thickness of the water-swelling rubber 132 is 10 mm and the width is 50 mm. When the fastener connects the ring-shaped floor 11 and the buoyancy plate 3, the water pressure bearing rubber 131 and the water-swelling rubber 132 are extruded in the thickness direction. The water pressure bearing rubber 131 is further tightly bonded to the upper and lower parts after being extruded, forming the first water barrier. After the fastener is locked, the distance between the patterned floor 11 and the buoyancy plate 3 is fixed, so the water pressure bearing rubber 131 should have good resistance to deformation to avoid structural relaxation due to the accumulation of its own plastic deformation, resulting in water gaps at the connection. The water-swelling rubber 132 as the second water barrier is arranged on the inner side of the water pressure bearing rubber 131. Even if a small amount of water penetrates the first water barrier, the water-swelling rubber 132 can swell to fill the gap. As shown in Figure 4 The connection device 1 further includes a positioning steel plate 14. The thickness of the positioning steel plate 14 is less than the thickness of the waterstop 13. When the ring-shaped floor 11 is connected with the buoyancy plate 3, the positioning steel plate 14 is abutted on both sides of the waterstop 13 and is welded with the buoyancy plate 3 to position the installation of the waterstop 13 in the width direction.
[0033] The high-strength bolt assembly 15 includes a high-strength bolt 151 and a nut 152. In the present embodiment, the high-strength bolt 151 is a M16 high-strength bolt. The ring-shaped base plate 11 is provided with a first clearance hole 110 in the thickness direction, and the top of the buoyancy plate 3 is provided with a second clearance hole 30 in the vertical direction. When the connecting device 1 is connected to the buoyancy plate 3, the first clearance hole 110 and the second clearance hole 30 are vertically aligned, and then the high-strength bolt 151 passes through the second clearance hole 30 and the first clearance hole, and is fixed to the top of the buoyancy plate 3 by threadedly engaging with the nut 152. Further, in the present embodiment, the bolt fastens the ring-shaped base plate 11 and the buoyancy plate 3 from bottom to top, that is, after the bolt assembly is locked, the nut 152 is located above the first clearance hole 110. In this way, during subsequent underwater operations, the operator only needs to release the nut 152 from above, so that the bolt is separated from the first clearance hole 110 and the second clearance hole 30 under the action of gravity, thereby quickly dismounting the buoyancy plate 3 from the connecting device 1, saving time and effort, and improving the safety of underwater construction. In the present embodiment, the bottom of each first bracket 1211 and second bracket 1212 is symmetrically provided with two first clearance holes 110.
[0034] When the connecting device 1 connects the steel caisson 2 and the buoyancy plate 3: the ring-shaped base plate 11, the first bracket 1211, the second bracket 1212, and the stiffening plate 123 are all vertically welded to the inner wall of the steel caisson 2. If necessary, the outer edge of the ring-shaped base plate 11 is sealed to the inner wall of the steel caisson 2 to ensure that the connection surface is water-tight. The high-strength bolt assembly 15 is arranged in a top-down manner to detachably fix the buoyancy plate 3 to the bottom of the ring-shaped base plate 11. The bolt assembly should be fully locked so that the water stop 13 is fully extruded. Preferably, in the present embodiment, the height of the ring-shaped base plate 11 to the bottom of the steel caisson 2 is equal to the structural height of the buoyancy plate 3, so that the bottom of the steel caisson and the buoyancy plate 3 are at the same horizontal level, facilitating overall transportation.
[0035] In conclusion, the connecting device 1 provided by the embodiment of the utility model forms two stable water-stopping lines by sealing welding the graphic bottom plate 11 and the inner wall of the steel sinking well 2 and setting the water-stopping belt 13 between the ring-shaped bottom plate 11 and the floatation-aiding plate 3. Secondly, the water-stopping pressure rubber 131 and the water-swelling rubber 132 of the water-stopping belt 13 cooperate with each other inside and outside, forming an effective double waterproof barrier. Moreover, the setting of the first bracket 1211, the second bracket 1212 and the stiffener 123 improves the lateral rigidity when the graphic bottom plate 11 is connected with the steel sinking well 2, so that the structure of the connecting device 1 is more stable. In addition, the connecting device 1 and the floatation-aiding plate 3 are detachably connected by the high-strength bolt assembly 15, and the nut 152 for tension is arranged on the upper surface of the ring-shaped bottom plate 11, so that the construction personnel can quickly and conveniently detach the floatation-aiding plate 3 when underwater.
[0036] The above merely describes the preferred specific embodiments of the utility model, and is not intended to limit the patent range of the utility model, and any equivalent transformation using the content of the utility model specification belongs to the protection range of the utility model.
