[0029] S4: Load of the double floating body lifting device 5. The load of the double floating body lifting device 5 is controlled in the lifting device capacity range by injecting water into the cabin of the caisson pier 6;

[0030] S5: Lowering the caisson pier 6. Slowly loosen the floating body lifting device 5, and ensure that the increase of the drainage volume is balanced with the increase of the water injection volume in the box;

[0031] S6: Precise positioning of the caisson pier 6. At the position of 50 cm between the caisson pier 6 and the base, stop the water injection of the caisson pier, control the plane position by using the longitudinal and transverse adjustment system 7 on the caisson pier, and control the elevation deviation around the caisson pier 6 by using the double floating body lifting device 5;

[0032] S7: Bedding of the caisson pier 6. Completely lower by using the double floating body lifting device 5 until the caisson pier 6 is bedded;

[0033] S8: Acceptance and readjustment of the caisson pier 6. After the caisson pier 6 is bedded, the plane position is re-measured, and if it does not meet the quality standard requirements, the floating body lifting device 5 is controlled to make the caisson pier 6 float by 50 cm, and the steps S6 and S7 are repeated to adjust the installation until the quality requirements are met;

[0034] S9: Separation of the double floating body 1. Release all the cables between the double floating body 1 and the caisson pier 6, release the locking device 2 of the double floating body 1, separate the double floating body, recover the corresponding equipment, and complete the installation.

[0035] In the steps S2 and S3, the anchorage system is arranged along the longitudinal direction of the bridge and outwardly in the range of 20-30 m on both sides of the caisson pier, and the longitudinal spacing is 70-80 m, so that the angle between the connecting rope of the positioning device on the double floating body and the longitudinal axis of the bridge is in the range of 30-60°, the angle between the connecting rope of the longitudinal adjustment system on the caisson pier and the longitudinal axis of the bridge is in the range of 15-45°, and the angle between the connecting rope of the transverse adjustment system on the caisson pier and the longitudinal axis of the bridge is in the range of 60-90°.

[0036] In the step S4, the water injection rate ensures that the sinking speed of the caisson pier is not greater than 0.1 m / min.

[0037] In the step S6, the axis deviation of the controlled plane position is ±50 mm, and the elevation deviation around the caisson pier is ±50 mm.

[0038] In the step S8, after the caisson pier is bedded, if the installation quality does not meet the standard, the floating body lifting device can be controlled to make the caisson pier float by 50 cm, the height deviation is ±100 mm, and the installation is re-adjusted. Example 3

[0039] As Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, in a relatively ideal scenario, the sea conditions in the construction area are good. By selecting a suitable meteorological window, the wind is below force 5 (less than 8 m / s), the wave height is less than 1 m, the water flow velocity is less than 0.3 m / s, and the water flow force and wind and wave horizontal loads are negligible. The construction method for installing ultra-large circular caisson bridge piers with dual floating bodies in Example 1 can be simplified, including the following steps:

The clamping device 4 on the floating body clamps with the caisson pier 6, and the lifting device 5 is connected to the embedded part 8 of the main lifting point on the caisson.

[0041] S2': Coarse positioning of caisson pier 6. The tugboat tows the caisson pier to the installation position, then tows it alongside the two floating bodies 1. The positioning device 3 on the two floating bodies is connected to the anchorage system 9 on both sides. The positioning device 3 is activated, and the tugboat provides auxiliary braking to control the initial position of the caisson pier 6.

[0042] S3': Loosen the clamping device 4. Loosen the hand-operated hoist 4-4 of the clamping device 4 between the double float 1 and the caisson pier 6, release the connection between the flexible mooring cable 4-3 and the embedded part of the lower tower column, and control the movement of the hydraulic clamping ring 4-2 through the hydraulic system so that the gap between the inner surface of the hydraulic clamping ring 4-2 and the surface of the lower tower column of the caisson pier 6 is within the range of 3~5cm;

[0043] S4': Load on the dual-buoy lifting device 5. The dual-buoy lifting device 5 is loaded by injecting water into the caisson pier compartment 6, and the load is controlled within the lifting device's capacity.

[0045] S6': Precision positioning of caisson pier 6. When the caisson pier 6 is 50cm away from the foundation bed, stop water injection into the caisson pier. Use the double floating body lifting device 5 to control the elevation deviation around the caisson pier 6. Then, use the hydraulic system on the clamping device 4 to control the movement of the hydraulic clamping ring 4-2 so that the inner surface of the hydraulic clamping ring 4-2 is in close contact with the surface of the lower tower column of the caisson pier 6. Use the positioning device 3 on the double floating body to control the planar position.

[0046] S7': The caisson pier 6 is lowered. The hydraulic clamping ring 4-2 is moved by controlling the hydraulic system on the clamping device 4, so that the gap between the inner surface of the hydraulic clamping ring 4-2 and the lower tower column surface of the caisson pier 6 is within 1~3cm. The caisson pier 6 is lowered by fully utilizing the double floating body lifting device 5 until it is lowered.

[0047] S8': caisson pier 6 acceptance, re-tuning. After the caisson pier 6 bedded, re-measure the plane position, if not in line with the quality standards, control the floating body lifting device 5, so that the caisson pier 6 float 50 cm, repeat steps S6', S7' adjustment installation, until in line with the quality requirements;

[0048] S9': double floating body separation. Release all the cables of the double floating body 1 and the caisson pier 6, release the double floating body 1 locking device 2, so that the double floating body is separated, the corresponding equipment is recovered, and the installation is completed.

[0049] In the step S2', the anchorage system is arranged along the longitudinal direction of the bridge outside the caisson pier to 20-30m, and the longitudinal spacing is 200-250m, which ensures that the angle between the connecting rope of the positioning device on the double floating body and the longitudinal axis of the bridge is in the range of 30-60°.

[0050] In the step S4', the water injection ensures that the sinking speed of the caisson pier is not greater than 0.1m / min.

[0051] In the step S6', the control plane position axis deviation is ±50mm, and the control caisson pier four around elevation deviation is ±50mm.

[0052] In the step S8', after the caisson pier is bedded, if it does not meet the installation quality standard, the floating body lifting device can be controlled to make the caisson pier float 50cm, the height deviation is ±100mm, and the installation is adjusted again.

[0053] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this. Any skilled person in the art can make equivalent replacement or change according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present application within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered in the protection scope of the present application.
