Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of tunnel construction, specifically relating to a structure for a deep-buried water pipe joint in the center of a high-altitude and cold-climate tunnel. Background Technology

[0002] In cold and frigid regions, tunnel waterproofing and drainage should be combined with insulation measures, emphasizing both blocking and drainage, as well as frost prevention and insulation, to ensure smooth drainage. Given the complexity of groundwater variations in the surrounding rock and considering the impact of groundwater trends on the tunnel, the principle of prevention is paramount in waterproofing and drainage in cold and frigid regions. Generally, a central drainage pipe is installed at the bottom of the tunnel invert. The traditional construction method is to pre-connect the two water pipe joints deeply buried in the center, then erect an arc-shaped formwork and pour concrete. This results in low construction efficiency. The deeply buried water pipe is prone to disturbance and deformation due to the influence of construction machinery and blasting inside the tunnel, affecting the linear smoothness of the central buried water pipe and leading to poor drainage.

[0003] Therefore, there is a need to provide an improved technical solution that addresses the shortcomings of the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0007] A pouring groove corresponding to a water pipe is provided in the middle of the arc-shaped groove, extending along the arc-shaped groove. A pouring hole is provided on the top of the upper block, and the pouring hole extends to the pouring groove.

[0008] Preferably, a rubber plate is provided between the upper block and the lower block, and sealing strips for water pipes are provided on both sides of the arc-shaped groove corresponding to the casting groove.

[0009] Preferably, the side walls of the upper block and the lower block are inclined surfaces, so that the upper block and the lower block form a stepped structure after they embrace the water pipe.

[0010] Preferably, the cross-section of the excavation trench for the water pipe in the center of the tunnel is an inverted trapezoid corresponding to the upper block and the lower block.

[0011] Preferably, a threaded sleeve is pre-embedded in the casting hole, and a threaded plug is fitted into the threaded sleeve.

[0012] Preferably, the arc-shaped groove has mounting grooves on both sides corresponding to the sealing strip.

[0013] Preferably, the upper block and the lower block are precast concrete components.

[0022] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0023] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a deep-buried water pipe joint structure in the center of a high-altitude and cold-climate tunnel is provided. A water pipe 5 excavation trench is provided at the bottom of the tunnel 1 for laying the water pipe 5 to assist drainage. The joint structure includes an upper block 3 and a lower block 2. An arc-shaped groove corresponding to the water pipe 5 is provided in the middle of the side of the upper block 3 and the lower block 2 that are close to each other. The diameter of the arc-shaped groove is adapted to the diameter of the water pipe 5. Specifically, it is prefabricated according to the end face of the water pipe 5 to be constructed. The upper block 3 and the lower block 2 respectively hug each other from the upper and lower sides of the water pipe 5 interface, thereby assisting the connection at the water pipe 5 interface. The support ensures the stability of the water pipe 5 and avoids reducing the possibility of the water pipe 5 tilting due to settlement. A pouring groove corresponding to the water pipe 5 is provided in the middle of the arc-shaped groove, extending along the arc-shaped groove. The pouring grooves of the upper block 3 and the lower block 2 are interconnected to form an annular pouring space at the interface of the corresponding water pipe 5. A pouring hole 7 is provided at the top of the upper block 3, and the pouring hole 7 extends to the pouring groove. After the water pipe 5 is connected, the two water pipes 5 are solidified into one by cement pouring to ensure the sealing performance of the water pipe 5 connection.

[0024] In one optional embodiment, the upper block 3 and the lower block 2 are precast concrete components, thus having a large mass. Under the action of gravity, the upper block 3 and the lower block 2 are sealed by compression, preventing grout leakage during the grouting process. Furthermore, a rubber plate 6 is provided between the upper block 3 and the lower block 2. There are two rubber plates 6, located on both sides of the water pipe 5, and the shape of the rubber plates 6 is adapted to the contact surface of the upper block 3 and the lower block 2. Under the action of gravity, compression ensures a seal. The arc-shaped groove is provided on both sides of the casting groove 9, corresponding to the sealing strips 10 of the water pipe 5. The sealing strips 10 of the upper block 3 and the lower block 2 are connected to each other to form two annular sealing structures corresponding to the water pipe 5. The inner diameter of the sealing strip 10 is smaller than the outer diameter of the water pipe 5, so that it can be deformed by compression to improve the sealing ability.

[0025] In an optional embodiment, both the upper block 3 and the lower block 2 are trapezoidal platform structures. The side walls of the upper block 3 and the lower block 2 are located on the same inclined plane so that the upper block 3 and the lower block 2 can form a trapezoidal platform structure after hugging the water pipe 5, thereby adapting to the excavation trench of the water pipe 5. In this embodiment, the cross section of the water pipe 5 excavation trench in the center of the tunnel 1 is an inverted trapezoid corresponding to the upper block 3 and the lower block 2. The water pipe 5 excavation trench is compacted at the position of the corresponding lower block 2, and the trapezoidal structure is used to connect the water pipe 5 excavation trench to reduce the possibility of settlement.

[0026] In an optional embodiment, a threaded sleeve 8 is pre-embedded in the casting hole 7. The threaded sleeve 8 is a metal tube with internal threads inside. A plug is fitted into the internal threads of the threaded sleeve 8, and the plug is used to seal the hole after casting.

[0027] Assembly slots for corresponding sealing strips 10 are provided on both sides of the arc-shaped groove. The assembly slots of the upper block 3 and the lower block 2 are connected to each other to form a ring structure for the corresponding sealing strips 10.

[0028] In one optional embodiment, a plurality of downwardly extending steel rods are provided at the bottom of the lower block 2, which are inserted into the excavated groove of the water pipe 5 to ensure stability during the connection process of the water pipe 5. Furthermore, lifting rings are provided on both sides of the upper block 3 and the lower block 2 corresponding to the axial direction of the water pipe 5, so as to facilitate hoisting and installation.

[0029] In an optional embodiment, in order to ensure the stability of the docking, the contact surfaces of the upper block 3 and the lower block 2 are respectively provided with longitudinally extending mounting holes 4. A connecting post is provided in the mounting hole 4. The connecting post passes through the rubber plate 6, with one end extending into the mounting hole 4 of the lower block 2 and the other end extending into the mounting hole 4 of the upper block 3, thereby ensuring the docking accuracy of the upper block 3 and the lower block 2.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be within the scope of protection of the pending claims of the present utility model.
