DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. The description of the at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative, but not as any limitation on the present application and its application or use. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the present application. Unless otherwise specified, the relative arrangement, expression and numerical value of the components and steps described in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present application. The technology, method and equipment known to those skilled in the related art can not be discussed in detail, but should be considered as part of the specification under appropriate circumstances. In all examples shown and discussed here, any specific value should be interpreted as merely exemplary, not as a limitation. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments can have different values.

[0031] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "over," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used here to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figure to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation besides the orientation of the device as described in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure is inverted, a device described as "above" or "above" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations).

[0032] The large-diameter, long-distance pipe jacking anti-retreat construction device for soft soil areas described in this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes the frame, jacks, track assembly, and pipe jacking machine; among which:

[0033] Pipe jacking machines and pipe sections are typically circular in shape for better compressive strength, but rectangular shapes can be used if the building's functionality is limited. The pipe jacking machine cuts the soil layer with its front cutterhead and transports the soil outside the pit using either mud or slurry removal.

[0034] Since pipe jacking construction is all underground and involves a large amount of equipment, working shafts are used to isolate the pipe jacking machine from the surrounding soil. The working shafts utilize Larssen sheet piles, interlocking steel pipe piles, and caissons as support structures. Plain concrete walls are installed at the pipe jacking exit point to facilitate removal when the pipe jacking machine exits the tunnel.

[0035] The frame is installed in the working shaft, and track assemblies are arranged on the frame along the jacking direction. These assemblies include longitudinal beams and transverse beams. The longitudinal beams are arranged along the jacking direction, and the transverse beams are arranged perpendicular to the jacking direction. There are two sets of track assemblies on the frame, corresponding to the first track assembly and the second track assembly, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 2 .

[0036] One end of the frame body is provided with a jack support for mounting a jack and ensuring that the jack is in close contact with a rear backrest formed on the rear end wall of the working well, and the other end of the frame body is arranged close to a hole forming position on the front end wall of the working well. The rear backrest is a jack force diffusion component and is usually made of reinforced concrete. The rear backrest transmits the jacking force from the jack to the well wall to prevent local pressure damage to the well wall. The jack support is a jack bearing component, and the number of layers, height and width of the jack support are determined according to the shape and size of the pipe section. In order to avoid instability of the jack support during jacking, a transverse connection can be arranged between the jack supports, and the rear side is in close contact with the main frame body cross beam. The jack is the main output component for pipe jacking, and different numbers and specifications of jacks are matched according to the size of the pipe section, the jacking length and the soil layer condition. The jack is placed on the jack support, and the lateral movement of the jack is limited by triangular steel plates welded on the support, and the rear end of the jack is in close contact with the rear backrest. The stroke of the jack should be greater than 250mm more than the length of the pipe section.

[0037] The track assembly comprises guide rails and tracks arranged on the guide rails by welding, and the guide rails are installed on the frame beam by guide rail connecting plates. The track is an "I" track for heavy cranes. The guide rail adopts a square pipe section with good bending resistance, and is integrally formed by welding with the track. The guide rail connecting plates are arranged at a fixed interval and are bolted to the frame beam arranged on the frame body. The guide rail connecting plate is composed of two triangular steel plates and two trapezoidal steel plates and is welded to the frame beam.

[0038] The frame body is divided into three grades according to different outer diameters of the pipe sections. The outer diameter of the pipe section is 0.9m-1.5m for the first grade, the outer diameter of the pipe section is 1.8m-3.3m for the second grade, and the outer diameter of the pipe section is 3.5m-4.2m for the third grade. In other words, the frame body is provided with three groups of guide rail connecting plates, corresponding to the first to third guide rail connecting plates. Among them, the first guide rail connecting plate is suitable for the third grade pipe section, the second guide rail connecting plate is suitable for the second grade pipe section, and the third guide rail connecting plate is suitable for the first grade pipe section. For details, please refer to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 、 6 .

[0039] As shown in Figure 3 , the frame body is divided into several standard sections according to the highway transportation standard; adjacent two standard sections are connected through frame connecting plates, and the frame connecting plates usually adopt connecting flanges; the force transmission frame is built in the shape of rectangular square tubes, and scissors are arranged between the rectangular square tubes to enhance the stability of the main frame structure, and the scissors adopt a channel steel section.

[0040] The force transmission frame is installed at a position close to the tunnel portal, and is connected between the force transmission frame and the front-end shaft wall around the tunnel portal through a counter-pulling device, and an anti-head-butting device is assembled on the force transmission frame to elastically contact the tail section of the pipe jacking machine located directly below the anti-head-butting device.

[0041] As shown in Figure 2 , the force transmission frame is in a U shape as a whole; the force transmission frame comprises two vertical support columns and a cross beam; the cross beam is arranged above the track assembly; the two vertical support columns are symmetrically arranged on the two sides of the track assembly in the transverse direction; the lower end of each vertical support column is fixed to the frame body, and the upper end is connected to the cross beam.

[0042] The counter-pulling device is one of the important structures for connecting the frame body and the front-end shaft wall, and mainly functions to resist the water and soil pressure transmitted from the front of the pipe jacking machine, and to provide certain anti-torsion and anti-overturning functions. Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown in , the counter-pulling device comprises a plurality of counter-pulling rods; one end of the counter-pulling rod is connected to the front-end shaft wall through a pre-buried anchoring structure, and the other end is fixed to the frame body through a connecting structure. The pre-buried anchoring structure comprises an anchor bar, a pre-buried steel plate and an external connecting rib; the anchor bar is anchored in the shaft wall; one side of the pre-buried steel plate is welded and fixed to the anchor bar, and the other side is welded to the external connecting rib; the counter-pulling rod is welded and fixed to the external connecting rib; the connecting structure comprises a connecting plate and a mechanical sleeve; the connecting plate is welded and fixed to the frame body, and a threaded hole is arranged on the connecting plate; the counter-pulling rod is screwed and fixed through the threaded hole and the mechanical sleeve. Triangle stiffening plates are arranged around the connecting plate to avoid local buckling of the connecting plate under the action of the counter-pulling rod.

[0043] In the counter-pulling device, the anchor bar is made of a threaded steel bar, which is constructed together with the shaft wall steel bar during the sinking well construction. Considering that most of the working wells are constructed by the sinking well method, the elevation and plan position error is large, and the anchor bar can also be planted by the post-anchoring method. The pre-buried steel plate is made of a steel plate with a thickness of at least 16 mm, which is welded together with the anchor bar. The external connecting rib is made of a threaded steel bar with the same specification as the counter-pulling rod, which is arranged in a "U" shape, one end of which is welded to the pre-buried steel plate, and the other end is welded to the counter-pulling rod. The purpose of arranging the external connecting rib is to prevent dislocation of the connection between the pre-buried steel plate and the frame body. In order to avoid local buckling of the connecting plate, a pad plate is additionally arranged at the bottom of the mechanical sleeve. In order to avoid local buckling of the connecting plate under the action of the counter-pulling rod, triangle stiffening plates are additionally arranged around the connecting point with the force transmission frame.

[0044] When the pipe jacking machine just exits the tunnel, the negative frictional resistance generated by the pipe jacking machine and the first pipe section and the surrounding soil layer is smaller than the water and soil pressure received by the front end of the pipe jacking machine. When the jack retracts, the pipe jacking machine and the first pipe section will also retreat under the action of the water and soil pressure, resulting in collapse of the soil layer in front of the pipe jacking machine and ground subsidence. The pipe jacking out of the tunnel is an important node of the pipe jacking project, and is also a major risk source.

[0045] In order to increase the safety of the portal chiseling and the pipe jacking machine out of the portal, a cement mixing pile wall is usually arranged within a range of 5m outside the portal. According to the Rankine earth pressure formula, the self-stability of the cement mixing pile wall is far greater than that of the undisturbed soil layer. When the pipe jacking machine just comes out of the portal, it is still in the cement mixing pile wall, and the cutter head of the pipe jacking machine is basically not affected by the water and soil pressure, so the number of the stop wings required is less. When the pipe jacking machine passes through the cement mixing pile wall, the undisturbed water and soil pressure on the cutter head will increase explosively, so the number of the stop wings required is more.

[0046] Specifically, the stop device comprises a stop wing; as Figure 6-8 As shown, the stop wings arranged on the first pipe section include three types, corresponding to the first to third stop wings; the first stop wing is arranged at the top position of the first pipe section, the second stop wing is arranged at the middle position, and the third stop wing is arranged near the track assembly; the upper end of the first stop wing is welded and fixed with the force transmission frame, and the lower end is welded with the top of the first pipe section; the outer end of the second stop wing is welded and fixed with the force transmission frame, and the inner end is welded with the outer side wall at the middle position of the first pipe section; the third stop wing is welded and fixed on the track assembly, and the upper end of the third stop wing is fixed near the track assembly of the first pipe section, and the main plate surface of the third stop wing is parallel to the jacking direction.

[0047] As shown in Figure 7 , Figure 8 The stop wings arranged on the pipe jacking machine include two types, corresponding to the stop wing A, the stop wing B and the stop wing C; the stop wing A is arranged at the top position of the tail section of the pipe jacking machine, the stop wing B is arranged at the middle position, and the stop wing C is arranged near the track assembly. The upper end of the stop wing A is welded and fixed with the force transmission frame, and the lower end is welded with the tail section of the pipe jacking machine; the outer end of the stop wing B is welded and fixed with the force transmission frame, and the inner end is welded with the outer side wall at the middle position of the tail section of the pipe jacking machine; the stop wing C is welded and fixed on the track assembly, and the upper end of the stop wing C is fixed near the track assembly of the pipe jacking machine, and the main plate surface of the stop wing C is parallel to the jacking direction.
