Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shield tail segment node connection technology, specifically, to an energy absorption device for shield tail segment node connection in shield tunnel docking section. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous advancement of urbanization, the development and utilization of urban underground space is increasing, becoming an important way to solve urban traffic congestion and expand urban functions. Against this backdrop, the shield tunneling method, as a highly efficient tunnel construction method, is widely used. The shield tunneling method has advantages such as fast construction speed, minimal impact on the ground, and high safety, and is widely applied in subway, highway tunnels, municipal engineering, and other fields.

[0003] However, in the shield tunneling section, especially at the tail segment joint, the surrounding geological conditions are complex and the construction environment is variable. The tunnel structure exhibits significant differences in longitudinal stiffness, leading to violent responses during tunnel operation. Under complex geological conditions, especially in areas with high water pressure, traditional connection structures may not provide sufficient connection strength and water-stopping effect, resulting in structural cracking and leakage. Secondly, during tunnel operation, any changes in external loads or geological conditions will cause significant vibration and impact forces to occur in the tunnel structure with its continuously varying stiffness under violent responses. These forces will be transmitted to the connection devices without effective buffering, leading to problems such as loosening or damage of the connection devices, structural deformation, and ultimately affecting the connection strength and stability between segments.

[0004] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content

A butterfly spring is sleeved on the fixing rod. One end of the fixing rod is threaded. A fixing hole is provided on the tie steel plate. One end of the fixing rod passes through the tie steel plate and is connected to a nut.

[0008] Furthermore, in order to fix the anchoring steel plate, the anchoring steel plate is installed on the inner arc surface of the segment by means of rebar installation.

[0010] Further, a stop steel plate is welded to one side of the sealing steel plate, and one end of the stop steel plate is welded to the shield tail.

[0011] Further, the stop steel plate is in the shape of a trapezoid, and the stop steel plate is provided with a hoisting hole.

[0012] Further, a fluorine butyl rubber plate is connected to the inner wall of the protection steel plate, and the fluorine butyl rubber plate abuts against the sealing gasket on the segment.

[0013] Further, one side of the sealing steel plate is welded to the shield tail.

[0014] Further, in order to be capable of grouting the shield tail gap, the sealing steel plate is provided with a shield tail gap grouting hole.
