TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of bridge construction and construction, and particularly relates to an auxiliary fixing device for a steel cofferdam. BACKGROUND
[0002] The bottomed steel box, also known as a steel hanging box, is a temporary water-blocking structure designed for deep-water high-pile pile cap construction and is widely used in the foundation construction of large-span deep-water bridges. Since the cofferdam side wall and the bottom plate can be directly welded, the water-blocking effect is good. However, with the development of bridge construction technology, firstly, the construction of the hanging box is seriously affected by environmental factors, and the effective construction operation time is easily reduced; secondly, the concrete bottom plate can be used as a permanent corrosion-resistant layer, especially in large projects, the cost advantage of the concrete bottom plate is obvious, and many projects have begun to use prefabricated concrete bottom plates instead of steel bottom plates for cofferdam construction. However, due to the difference in material between the steel cofferdam and the concrete bottom plate, how to improve the waterproof effect has become a problem to be solved.
[0003] The reinforcement of the steel cofferdam and the bottom plate can have multiple ways, for example, the patent 202222870833.6 discloses a steel cofferdam, which has a positioning groove pre-set on the bottom plate and a positioning plate set at the lower part of the steel cofferdam. During installation, the positioning plate is installed in the positioning groove, which facilitates positioning during installation and further enhances the lateral stability of the steel cofferdam. The connection method between the concrete bottom plate and the steel cofferdam side wall is usually to weld the steel plate pre-buried in the concrete bottom plate with the steel cofferdam side wall. However, even if a positioning groove is set on the concrete bottom plate, due to the limitation of construction difficulty, the depth of the positioning groove will not be too deep, and even if a steel plate is pre-buried in the positioning groove, since the pre-buried steel plate is not a through drain, the steel cofferdam is intermittently welded on the concrete bottom plate, so the waterproof effect is still not good at the un-welded parts.
[0004] As described in the "Design and Construction Key Technology of Prefabricated Concrete Bottom Plate Steel Hanging Box Cofferdam" published in the 11th issue of "Fujian Transportation Science and Technology" in 2021, limit blocks are first set on the prefabricated concrete bottom plate, the wall plate is installed at the appropriate position and temporarily welded with the steel casing, and the wall plate and the bottom plate are sealed by filling the foaming agent. Although this technical solution can effectively limit the steel cofferdam, the wall plate and the bottom plate are only attached by the self-weight of the wall plate, and due to the difference in construction environment, the gap between the steel cofferdam and the concrete bottom plate is easily enlarged under the impact of water waves. Therefore, the impact resistance and waterproof effect of the cofferdam need to be improved. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
[0005] The utility model is to overcome the poor waterproof measure implementation effect between the steel cofferdam and the concrete bottom plate in the prior art, the defect that the steel cofferdam is easily leaked at the joint with the concrete bottom plate under the impact of water waves, and provides an auxiliary fixing device for a steel cofferdam to overcome the above-mentioned defects.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:
[0007] An auxiliary fixing device for a steel cofferdam includes:
[0008] Fixed components, load-bearing components, and tensioning components that connect the fixed components and the load-bearing components;
[0009] The force-bearing component includes a pre-embedded component and a reaction seat fixedly connected to the pre-embedded component;
[0010] The reaction seat includes a top plate and at least two support plates that are vertically fixed to the lower end of the top plate, such that a tensioning space is formed between the support plates and the top plate to accommodate the tensioning assembly.
[0011] The top plate is provided with a first through hole that allows the tensioning component to pass through, and the bottom of the support plate is fixedly connected to the pre-embedded component.
[0012] In traditional precast concrete cofferdam construction, the concrete base slab is typically divided into several sections. Therefore, the construction steps can be summarized as follows: transporting the precast concrete base slab to the high-pile platform for assembly; connecting and fixing the cofferdam side panels to the concrete base slab; waterproofing the gaps between the side panels and the base slab; and lowering the cofferdam and base slab together to the target position. In the fixing step, steel components pre-embedded in the concrete base slab are usually used to connect the steel cofferdam by welding or bolting, followed by waterproofing treatment at the joints using waterproofing strips or expanding foam. However, the more steel components installed in the concrete base slab, the greater the impact on the overall strength of the concrete base slab. Therefore, the welding points between the steel cofferdam sidewalls and the concrete base slab are intermittent and limited. Consequently, when the cofferdam is impacted, the areas between the sidewalls and the base slab that are not welded using pre-embedded components become weak points, significantly reducing the waterproofing effectiveness of both rubber seals and expanding foam.
[0013] This invention involves pre-embedding components on a concrete base slab as load-bearing fulcrums. These components are primarily located at the joints between the cofferdam side plates and at weak points where the side plates are not welded to the concrete base slab; the specific locations are determined based on the actual engineering conditions. Reaction seats are then installed on the pre-embedding components to connect to the tensioning components. The support plates of the reaction seats can be fixed to the pre-embedding components by welding. This invention also requires the installation of fixing components on the steel cofferdam, and finally, the tensioning components connect the fixing components and the load-bearing components to achieve tension between the steel cofferdam and the concrete base slab. In practice, if the steel cofferdam has transverse ribs, holes can be drilled in the transverse ribs to serve as fixing components. In practice, to ensure the stability and tension strength of the overall device, the fixing components are usually located in the middle of the cofferdam, and the length of the tensioning components should preferably not exceed 5 meters.
[0014] As a preferred, the counterforce seat further comprises reinforcing plates for reinforcing the top plate and the support plate. Since the tension of the tensioning assembly is borne by the top plate, several reinforcing plates can be arranged between the top plate and the support plate, which can prevent the counterforce seat from deforming, and the reinforcing plates can be welded with the embedded assembly as new welding points to prevent the counterforce seat from separating from the embedded assembly due to excessive tension.
[0015] As a preferred, the first through hole is provided with a U-shaped opening. Due to the limitation of the volume of the counterforce seat, the tensioning space may not be convenient for the tensioning of the tensioning assembly, and therefore the through hole on the top plate can be arranged in a U shape, so that the tensioning assembly can enter and exit the counterforce seat from the side, facilitating installation and disassembly.
[0016] As a preferred, the embedded assembly comprises an embedded steel plate and embedded steel bars welded perpendicularly to the embedded steel plate. The lower end embedded steel bars are embedded in the concrete, and resist the pulling force of the upper end tension rod through the frictional resistance between the steel bars and the concrete. The number of steel bars can be adjusted according to the size of the force, and the number of steel bars can be increased for large force and reduced for small force.
[0017] As a further preferred, the area of the top plate is greater than or equal to the area of the embedded steel plate. Since the top plate bears a large tension, in practice the top plate should be larger than the embedded steel plate below to ensure overall strength, and a larger top plate can also be provided with a larger reinforcing plate to further improve the anti-deformation performance.
[0018] As a preferred, the fixing assembly comprises a cantilevered steel plate welded to the steel cofferdam, so that the cantilevered steel plate is perpendicular to the tensioning assembly, and the cantilevered steel plate is provided with a second through hole through which the tensioning assembly passes. If the steel cofferdam is provided with a horizontal rib, a hole can be directly punched in the horizontal rib to use it as a cantilevered steel plate.
[0019] As a further preferred, the fixing assembly further comprises a reinforcing plate welded perpendicularly to the cantilevered steel plate. The reinforcing plate is arranged below the cantilevered steel plate and can be welded with the side wall of the steel cofferdam to further prevent the cantilevered steel plate from deforming under stress.
[0020] As a preferred, the tensioning assembly comprises a tension rod and bolts bolted at both ends of the tension rod. In practice, the diameter of the tension rod is preferably above 32 mm, and the bolt is preferably a precision rolled nut.
[0021] As a further preferred, the tensioning assembly further comprises a gusset plate arranged between the bolt and the first through hole and the second through hole, respectively. By adding a gusset plate between the bolt and the through hole, the stress area is increased to prevent local deformation of the device.
[0022] In another aspect, the utility model discloses a kind of connecting structure of steel cofferdam and concrete bottom plate, including concrete bottom plate, and the steel cofferdam of being set on concrete bottom plate, the steel cofferdam is connected with concrete bottom plate by the auxiliary fixing device, the fixed subassembly is detachably connected with steel cofferdam, the stress subassembly is fixedly connected with concrete bottom plate, the fixed subassembly is connected with stress subassembly by tensioning component.In practice, to facilitate the further construction inside cofferdam, the auxiliary fixing device is preferably set in the side of cofferdam outside and water contact.
[0023] Therefore, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0024] (1) the utility model discloses three-component assemblies, and steel cofferdam side wall and concrete bottom plate are closely adhered, and the defect of water leakage risk caused by the incomplete welding of side wall and bottom plate is made up, and the waterproof effect of weak position is further improved on the basis of traditional waterproof treatment such as rubber strip;
[0025] (2) the device of the utility model passes through longer tensioning component, and the stress of upper part of steel cofferdam is transmitted to lower pre-embedded component, and the overall impact resistance of steel cofferdam is strengthened;
[0026] (3) the utility model has simple structure, and main part can be obtained by welding, and installation is more convenient, improve work efficiency, and cost is lower, be favorable to the popularization and application in production practice. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

The cantilever steel plate 11 is welded in the middle of the steel cofferdam 2. The spacer plate 33 is first sleeved on the lower end of the pull rod 31 and screwed into part of the bolt 32, and then the tensioning assembly is placed into the counterforce seat 22 through the U-shaped opening on the top plate 23, so as to avoid the tightening operation in the narrow space of the tensioning space 25.
