Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of civil engineering construction technology, and in particular to a variable diameter support structure for foundation pits. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of construction, the importance of safety and structural stability is self-evident; they are key factors in ensuring the successful completion of projects and protecting the lives of construction workers. Among the many stages of construction, foundation pit engineering is particularly critical because it not only relates to the stability of the entire building but also directly affects the safety of construction workers. The safety of foundation pit engineering is the foundation of the success of the entire construction project; any negligence in this stage can lead to serious consequences.

[0003] However, traditional foundation pit support structure designs often only consider foundation pits with regular shapes, which proves inadequate when dealing with irregularly shaped foundation pits. In such cases, engineers often have to redesign and develop new support structures based on existing regular ones. This may involve complex cutting and welding work to change the shape of the support structure, or adjusting the diameter of the support pipes to accommodate the load requirements of different foundation pits. These modifications not only require additional time and resources but also often present a series of problems.

[0004] First, these modification schemes have poor adaptability because they are usually designed based on specific situations and are difficult to apply widely to foundation pits of different shapes and sizes. Second, the installation process is complex, requiring highly specialized skills and precise operation, which not only increases the construction difficulty but also prolongs the project cycle. Furthermore, the stability of these modified support structures is often insufficient, especially when the foundation pit needs to withstand significant lateral pressure. These problems are particularly prominent and may lead to support structure failure or even safety accidents. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a foundation pit variable diameter support structure, which solves the problem that the traditional foundation pit support structure in the prior art is difficult to adapt to the shape and load requirements of irregular foundation pits.

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a foundation pit variable diameter support structure to support multiple retaining walls within the foundation pit, comprising:

[0007] A waler assembly, comprising multiple walers and multiple corner movable connectors connecting the walers, wherein the multiple walers are disposed on the inner side of the corresponding retaining wall, the walers on adjacent retaining walls are connected in pairs, and the corner movable connectors are used to adapt to the angle between adjacent retaining walls.

[0008] The support assembly includes multiple support pipes, multiple reducing pipes disposed at one end of the support pipes, and multiple hinge supports. One end of the support assembly is connected to the waler through the hinge supports, and the other end is connected to the waler on another retaining wall through the hinge supports.

[0009] As a more preferred embodiment, the support assembly also includes an adjustable hinge head disposed at the other end of the support pipe. The adjustable hinge head, through improved structural design, enhances the overall integrity of the node, thereby improving the stability and safety of the foundation pit project. Simultaneously, the adjustable hinge head has greater load-bearing capacity and stiffness, which helps to more effectively control the deformation of the foundation pit. Furthermore, the adjustable hinge head simplifies construction operations, making the installation and adjustment of the support pipe more convenient and faster, improving construction efficiency. Finally, the adjustable hinge head also improves the force transmission method, reducing construction risks, and minimizing the risk of continuous collapse due to weak node connections.

[0010] As a more preferred method, the hinge support is connected to the adjustable hinge head and the reducer pipe respectively located at the end of the support pipe. The hinge support can be used to easily adjust the connection angle and improve construction efficiency.

[0011] As a more preferred approach, the support tube is made of square tubing. Square tubing is widely used in the construction and engineering fields due to its excellent stability, convenient installation, efficient space utilization, superior torsional resistance, flat surface treatment, easy connection with other components, and high production efficiency, especially in situations requiring high-strength support, such as foundation pit support.

[0012] As a more preferred approach, the reducing pipe is a square reducing pipe that is compatible with the supporting pipe.

[0013] As a more preferred approach, the support pipe is a round pipe. The round pipe plays an important role in the field of foundation pit support, which requires pressure bearing and structural support, due to its excellent mechanical properties, simple manufacturing process, easy processing and forming, high strength bearing capacity, good welding quality and easy plastic deformation.

[0014] As a more preferred approach, the reducing pipe is a circular reducing pipe that is adapted to the supporting pipe.

[0015] As a more preferred approach, the walers are horizontally positioned on the inner side of the support wall, and the horizontal heights of multiple walers are aligned, thereby making the supporting force on the support wall corresponding to the walers more even and achieving a better supporting effect.

[0016] As a more preferred approach, the foundation pit variable diameter support structure also includes multiple chain hooks, one end of which is located at the top of the support wall and the other end is connected to the waler to assist in the horizontal positioning of the waler.

[0017] As a more preferred approach, the other end of the support component can also be directly connected to the ground via a hinged support. The other end of the support component can be connected to the waler or to the ground, depending on the load requirements of the support wall.

[0018] As described above, the foundation pit variable diameter support structure of this utility model has the following beneficial effects: When in use, the foundation pit variable diameter support structure of this utility model adapts the angle between adjacent retaining walls by connecting the walers through the corner movable connector, and adapts to different foundation pit loads by setting the variable diameter pipe; thus, when facing retaining walls with different angles in irregular foundation pits, the angle between adjacent walers can be adjusted by using the corner movable connector to adapt to them, and when facing different load requirements in irregular foundation pits, different variable diameter pipes can be replaced to adapt, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of irregular foundation pits;

[0019] In summary, the foundation pit variable diameter support structure of this utility model, through the waler component that can freely adjust the angle and the support component that can freely adjust the support force, realizes the adaptation to the support wall with different angles and loads in irregular foundation pits, and solves the problem that the traditional foundation pit support structure in the prior art is difficult to adapt to the shape and load requirements of irregular foundation pits.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this utility model provides a foundation pit variable diameter support structure to support multiple retaining walls 8 within the foundation pit, including:

[0036] The waler assembly includes multiple walers 1 and multiple corner movable connectors 2 connecting the walers 1. The multiple walers 1 are disposed on the inner side of the corresponding retaining wall 8. The walers 1 on adjacent retaining walls 8 are connected in pairs and the corner movable connectors 2 are used to adapt to the angle between adjacent retaining walls 8.

The adjustable hinge head 6 enhances the overall integrity of the node through improved structural design, thereby improving the stability and safety of the foundation pit project. At the same time, the adjustable hinge head 6 has greater load-bearing capacity and rigidity, which helps to control the deformation of the foundation pit more effectively.
