Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of slipform construction technology, specifically to a slipform structure for a dam toe plate with variable angle and size. Background Technology

[0002] Slipform construction technology involves assembling sliding formwork around the component being constructed, and using jacks or other lifting equipment to slide the formwork along the concrete surface, thereby completing the continuous pouring of concrete. In the field of hydraulic and hydropower construction technology, slipform construction technology has been increasingly widely used due to its significant advantages such as short construction cycle, high material utilization rate, low input cost, stable construction quality, and safety and reliability.

[0003] However, in some special engineering scenarios, traditional slipform technology faces numerous challenges. Take the Lawa Hydropower Station as an example, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the left and right bank toe slabs of the hydropower station dam have complex structural dimensions, with an elevation range of 2475m-2706m, a slope between 1:1.45 and 1:1.852, a toe slab width HD of 8m-6m, a thickness δ of 1.2m-0.6m, a top surface width IQ of 2.832m-5.163m, a nose sill slope QT' length of 2.576m-7.358m, an angle β between the toe slab X-ray and the foundation surface of 0°-34.5923°, and an angle β' between the top surface of the panel and the foundation surface of the toe slab of 0°-34.4817°.

[0004] For toe slabs with continuously changing dimensions and angles, traditional slipform construction presents a series of technical challenges. First, the slipform width cannot accommodate the continuous change in top surface dimensions from 2.832m to 5.163m. Second, the slipform nose section cannot accommodate the continuous change in inclined length from 2.576m to 7.358m and included angle from 0° to 34.5923°. Third, traditional slipforms have relatively weak rigidity and anti-buoyancy force, making it difficult to meet the practical requirements of convenient pouring and simple commissioning.

[0005] In summary, existing slipform technology has significant shortcomings when dealing with toe slab construction with complex structural dimensions and angle variations, such as the Lawa Hydropower Station. There is an urgent need for a new slipform structure to solve these technical problems in order to ensure the smooth progress of the project and the quality of construction. Utility Model Content

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a sliding formwork structure for a dam toe plate with variable angle and size.

[0007] A variable angle and size dam toe slipform structure includes a slide rail, a horizontal slipform assembly, an inclined template, a first telescopic rod, a second telescopic rod, and mounting supports. The horizontal slipform assembly includes an inner template and an outer template fitted over the inner template. The other end of the inner template is hinged to the inclined template. The two ends of the first telescopic rod are respectively mounted on the top surfaces of the inner template and the outer template through mounting supports. The two ends of the second telescopic rod are respectively mounted on the top surfaces of the inner template and the inclined template through mounting supports.

[0008] A further technical solution is: the outer template is a box-shaped structure with an opening at one end, the inner template and the inclined template are fully enclosed box-shaped structures, the top surface of the inner template and the inclined template is equipped with a water inlet valve, and the side surface of the inner template and the inclined template is equipped with a water outlet valve.

[0009] A further technical solution is: a first connecting plate and a second connecting plate are respectively provided on opposite sides of the bottom of the embedded template and the inclined template, and the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate are hinged together by a hinge.

[0010] A further technical solution is as follows: both ends of the first telescopic rod and the second telescopic rod are provided with through holes. The mounting support includes fixed ear plates symmetrically arranged on both sides of the through holes. The fixed ear plates are provided with fixed holes corresponding to the through holes. A pin is inserted between the fixed holes and the through holes. A fixing pin is inserted through the pin hole of the pin.

[0011] A further technical solution is: the outer template has multiple evenly distributed fastening holes, and fastening bolts are installed in the fastening holes, with the bottom end of the fastening bolts pressing tightly against the upper surface of the inner template.

[0012] A further technical solution is: a lifting lug is provided on one side of the horizontal sliding formwork and the inclined formwork, and a traction system is connected to the lifting lug. The traction system is fixedly connected to the anchor bars anchored to the dam.

[0013] A further technical solution is that anti-fall steel ropes are also connected to the outer template and the inclined template via lifting lugs.

[0014] A further technical solution is to build a vibration platform, a finishing platform, and a curing shed on the outer template, the inner template, and the sloping template.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] This utility model's toe slab slipform structure incorporates a horizontal slipform assembly and an inclined template. The horizontal slipform assembly includes an inner template and an outer template fitted over the inner template. Adjusting the length of the first telescopic rod adjusts the length of the inner template extending into the outer template, thus regulating the overall length of the horizontal slipform assembly. Hinges facilitate rotation between the inclined template and the horizontal slipform assembly, and adjusting the length of the second telescopic rod accommodates angle adjustments between them. The inner template and the inclined template form a seamless, fully enclosed box structure, which can be filled with water via an inlet valve to act as a counterweight water tank, enhancing the rigidity, buoyancy resistance, and stability of the toe slab slipform structure to meet the requirements of pouring construction.

[0017] The slipform structure of this utility model can adapt to continuous changes in angle and size during the pouring of concrete for the toe slab of a dam. The length and angle of the slipform structure can be adjusted according to the changes in the toe slab. It has a simple structure, is easy to install and disassemble, is quick to construct, can be reused multiple times, is low in cost, is environmentally friendly, and is safe and reliable.

[0032] A dam toe slipform structure with variable angle and size, such as Figure 1-9 As shown, it includes a slide rail 19, a horizontal sliding template 2, an inclined template 3, a first telescopic rod 7, a second telescopic rod 8, and a mounting bracket 9. The horizontal sliding template 2 includes an inner template 22 and an outer template 21 fitted outside the inner template 22. The other end of the inner template 22 is hinged to the inclined template 3. The two ends of the first telescopic rod 7 are respectively installed on the top surfaces of the inner template 22 and the outer template 21 through the mounting bracket 9. The two ends of the second telescopic rod 8 are respectively installed on the top surfaces of the inner template 22 and the inclined template 3 through the mounting bracket 9.

[0033] There are two types of telescopic rods: the first telescopic rod 7 and the second telescopic rod 8. Two first telescopic rods 7 are symmetrically arranged on the top surface of the horizontal sliding mold assembly 2, and two second telescopic rods 8 are symmetrically arranged on the top surface of the inclined template 3. The lengths of the first telescopic rods 7 and the second telescopic rods 8 can be adjusted as needed, thereby adapting to the overall length adjustment of the horizontal sliding mold assembly 2 and the tilt angle adjustment between the inclined template 3 and the horizontal sliding mold assembly 2. The first telescopic rods 7 and the second telescopic rods 8 can be telescopic lead screws or telescopic sleeves as used in existing technologies; their specific structures will not be described in detail here.

[0034] The slide rail 19 is made of ∠80×5mm angle steel and -50×5mm flat steel combined with Φ18mm round steel. The slide rail 19 is laid on the foundation surface of the dam toe plate 1 as the sliding track for the horizontal sliding formwork 2 and the inclined formwork 3.

[0035] The outer template 21 is a box-shaped structure welded from 8mm thick steel plates with an opening at one end. The inner template 22 and the inclined template 3 are seamlessly welded from 8mm thick steel plates to form a fully enclosed box-shaped structure. The inner template 22 extends into the opening of the outer template 21 and slides within it. A water inlet valve 10 is provided on the top surface of the inner template 22 and the inclined template 3, and a water outlet valve 11 is provided on the sides of the inner template 22 and the inclined template 3.
