[0002] At present, the joint connecting forms of the immersed tunnel include rigid and flexible types, and the flexible joint is mainly used in actual immersed tunnel engineering, and the flexible joint usually allows the pipe section joint to rotate and displace in a proper amount, and can guarantee the water tightness of the joint part while bearing certain tension, shear and bending moment. Through analysis and calculation of a large number of engineering, if the flexible joint scheme is adopted, the shear value at the joint between the bank structure and the immersed pipe section is only 44% of that of the rigid joint scheme, and the maximum bending moment and maximum shear in the pipe section are reduced by 35% and 35% respectively.

[0052] Referring to the drawings, the cable body anchor head of the application adopts a fully enclosed structure, which achieves good corrosion and protection performance. At the same time, the cable body end adopts a spherical pad with a spherical contact surface and a spherical nut, which not only increases the stress contact area, but also can automatically adjust within a 2-degree range in any direction under the action of the spherical pad and the spherical nut, effectively solving the problem of uneven stress of the pad and the nut when the cable body is inclined. The specific structure and principle are as follows:
[0053] The finished cable body 1 of the application has various types, mainly including steel strand extrusion cable, cold cast anchor steel wire cable, hot cast anchor cable, steel wire cable, steel wire rope and other types of cable. The two ends of the finished cable body 1 of the application are extruded and anchored, the stress of each steel strand is isolated, the steel strand is difficult to fall off, the static load is safe and reliable, and the fatigue performance is good. The two ends of the steel strand are bundled and extruded in the anchor sleeve, and the retraction amount is very small during tensioning. Under low stress or even negative stress, the steel strand will not slip. The angle of the steel strand entering the anchor head is small and almost not subjected to bending stress. The steel strand bundled and isolated extrusion anchor is mainly anchored by friction, so its fatigue resistance is very good.
[0054] The main structure of the immersed tunnel is made of immersed tube concrete 2, and a pre-embedded part 3 is embedded in the immersed tube concrete 2, the pre-embedded part 3 is a tubular structure, and is used for penetrating and fixing the finished cable body 1. The fixed end of the finished cable body 1 is located in the pre-embedded part 3 and penetrates the mounting hole on the fixed end spherical pad 4, and the fixed end of the finished cable body 1 is provided with a spherical nut 5, the spherical contact surface of the spherical nut 5 is in contact with the spherical surface on the fixed end spherical pad 4, and when the finished cable body 1 is pulled, the pulling force is transmitted to the fixed end spherical pad 4 through the spherical nut 5. The spherical surface cooperation between the fixed end spherical pad 4 and the spherical nut 5 realizes automatic adaptive swing adjustment in any direction within a certain angle range, and avoids the problem that the gasket and the nut are unevenly stressed when the cable body is inclined.
[0055] The connection between the outer tension end of the finished cable body 1 and the adjacent finished cable body 1 is also important, the tension end of the finished cable body 1 and the adjacent finished cable body 1 are connected through a cable connecting piece, the cable connecting piece has various structural forms, mainly including a whole connecting sleeve 10 and a combined connecting sleeve 12, and the specific structure is as follows:
[0056] Embodiment one: the cable connecting piece adopts the whole connecting sleeve 10, the anchor head of the tension end of the finished cable body 1 and the anchor head at the end of the adjacent finished cable body 1 are respectively provided with locking nuts 11, the anchor head of the finished cable body 1 at the tension end is connected with one end of the connecting sleeve 10 in a threaded connection mode, and the anchor head at one end of the adjacent finished cable body 1 is connected with the other end of the connecting sleeve 10 in a threaded connection mode. The connection can also be achieved in the nut locking mode.
[0057] Embodiment two: the cable connecting piece adopts the combined connecting sleeve 12, the combined connecting sleeve 12 includes an upper sleeve 13, a lower sleeve 14 and connecting bolts 15, the upper sleeve 13 and the lower sleeve 14 are half circular ring sleeve structures, and the upper sleeve 13 and the lower sleeve 14 are combined in a ring sleeve structure after butt joint.

The upper sleeve 13 and the lower sleeve 14 are locked and fixed through the plurality of connecting bolts 15, the connecting bolts 15 are high-strength bolts, and the upper sleeve 13 and the lower sleeve 14 form an integral structure after being fixed. In order to improve the sealing performance between the upper sleeve 13 and the lower sleeve 14, sealing glue 16 is arranged on the splicing joint of the upper sleeve 13 and the lower sleeve 14.
[0058] The anchor head of the two adjacent finished cable bodies 1 inside the connecting sleeve 12 is respectively provided with a tensioning nut 18, and a tensioning end spherical pad 17 is arranged between the tensioning nut 18 and the stepped surface on the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 12, the tensioning end spherical pad 17 is in contact with the tensioning nut 18, and the tensioning end spherical pad 17 is located between the stepped surface of the connecting sleeve 10 and the tensioning nut 18. The contact surface of the tensioning nut 18 and the tensioning end spherical pad 17 is spherical, the stress surface of the tensioning end spherical pad 17 is a spherical curved surface corresponding to the spherical contact surface of the tensioning nut 18, and the spherical surface cooperation between the tensioning end spherical pad 17 and the tensioning nut 18 enables the cable body to automatically and adaptively swing and adjust in any direction within a certain angle range, which is beneficial to compensate for installation and positioning errors.
[0059] The spherical nut used in the application can not only increase the stress contact area, but also has the technical effect of preventing loosening and plays a retreat-preventing role. When there is stress in the axial direction of the cable during fastening, the friction between the threads can be increased. Such configuration makes the fastened object less likely to loosen.
[0060] In terms of waterproof and corrosion prevention, the application is provided with a protective cover 7 outside the fixed end of the finished cable body 1, the protective cover 7 and the anchor head at the end of the finished cable body 1 are filled with corrosion-resistant grease 9, and a protective cylinder 6 is installed on the periphery of the protective cover 7 for multiple protection.

After multiple protection, the steel strand can be completely and permanently isolated from the outside air and moisture, and the permanent protection performance is quite reliable.
[0061] Before tensioning, the tensioning device 19 needs to be installed at the tensioning end of the two adjacent cable bodies, specifically, the tensioning device 19 is installed between the locking nut 11 installed on the anchor head at the tensioning end of the finished cable body 1 and the locking nut 11 installed on the end anchor head of the adjacent finished cable body 1, the tensioning device 19 is pressed on the locking nut 11 through the top plate 20, and the tensioning device 19 generally adopts a tensioning jack.
