Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of TBM construction, specifically relates to a shield type TBM segment misalignment and broken safety protection device. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the vigorous development of infrastructure construction in the fields of traffic, energy, water conservancy and hydropower, TBM (full-face tunnel boring machine) is more and more applied to various high-risk complex geological conditions, and super-long deep-buried complex mountain tunnel is constructed. Shield TBM improves the safety of on-site construction personnel by installing segments to close surrounding rock.

[0003] However, during the TBM excavation, due to the complex and changeable geological conditions, the surrounding rock in the fault fracture zone and the affected zone will rapidly converge and deform after the segment is installed, and the surrounding rock stress will be generated. At the same time, the collapse of the tunnel crown may cause the segment to be pressed by the gravity of the collapse. These external forces make the installed segment bear uneven stress, causing the segment to protrude inward and form misalignment and structural cracks and other damage problems. If it is not treated continuously, it may cause the segment to fall off, and further cause the risk of tunnel collapse, which seriously affects the safety of the construction personnel in the tunnel.

[0004] Therefore, the present application provides a safety protection device. The device can effectively solve the problems of segment misalignment and structural cracks caused by uneven stress without affecting the normal material transportation in the tunnel, prevent continuous deformation of the segment, and thus ensure construction safety.

[0031] Shield type TBM segment misalignment and damage safety protection device embodiment:

[0032] As Figures 1-6 Illustrated, this embodiment is with TBM excavation diameter 4.03m, segment 11 inner diameter 3.2m for example to explain.

[0033] Shield type TBM segment misalignment and damage safety protection device includes two first steel arch 1, a second steel arch 2, connecting cross bar 3 and steel plate cushion block 4.The first steel arch 1 one end is fixed with first connecting plate 5, and the other end is provided with horizontal support end 6.The both ends of second steel arch 2 are fixed with second connecting plate 7.The outer diameter of first steel arch 1 and second steel arch 2 in this embodiment is 3200mm, and the inner diameter is 2920mm, and the outer arc length is 2922mm, and the inner arc length is 2666mm.

[0034] The second connecting plate 7 is connected with the first connecting plate 5 of the two first steel arches 1 through the connecting bolt 8, and forms an arc protection frame for supporting the segment 11. That is, the arc protection frame is formed by the two first steel arches 1 and the second steel arch 2. By setting the arc protection frame with a segmented structure, transportation and installation are facilitated. The cross-sectional shape of the first steel arch 1 and the second steel arch 2 is an I-shaped section. In this embodiment, the first steel arch 1 and the second steel arch 2 are made of I14# I-shaped steel.

[0035] In order to ensure the protection effect on the damaged segment 11, the adjacent arc protection frames are connected through the connecting cross bar 3. The spacing between the adjacent arc protection frames is less than half the width of the segment 11.

[0036] In order to facilitate the adjustment of the spacing between the arc protection frame and the track, the steel plate pad 4 is used to be arranged between the horizontal support end 6 and the track to prevent the first steel arch 1 from sliding down. The upper surface of the steel plate pad 4 is lower than the track surface 10, so as to ensure that the arc protection frame can closely contact the segment 11.

[0037] In order to fix the position of the arc protection frame, at least one third connecting plate 9 is fixed on the first steel arch 1, and the expansion bolt passes through the third connecting plate 9 and is fixed with the segment 11.

[0038] The first steel arch 1 is provided with at least one third connecting plate 9 on both sides. The third connecting plate 9 can firmly connect the first steel arch 1 with the segment 11 to form a whole. This connection mode can effectively prevent the steel arch from being laterally displaced or overturned under the action of lateral force, thereby improving the stability of the whole structure.

[0039] The first connecting plate 5 and the third connecting plate 9 are fixed on the first steel arch 1 by welding; and the second connecting plate 7 is fixed on the second steel arch 2 by welding.

[0040] The first connecting plate 5, the second connecting plate 7 and the third connecting plate 9 are all steel plates with a size of 60mm×60mm×6mm.

[0041] The second connecting plate 7 is connected with the first connecting plate 5 of the two first steel arches 1 by welding. That is, the first steel arch 1 and the second steel arch 2 are connected by welding and the connecting bolt 8.

[0042] The surfaces of the first steel arch 1, the second steel arch 2, the connecting cross bar 3 and the steel plate pad 4 are coated with an anti-corrosion coating, so as to prolong the service life of the protection device.

[0043] The utility model discloses a first steel arch 1 and second steel arch 2 are first preassembled outside the hole, and the size of first steel arch 1, second steel arch and connecting cross bar 3 is checked, then each component of the protection device is transported to the position needing protection. The water supply pipe and the drain pipe are removed. Because smoke can be produced when welding, a axial flow fan can be installed in the protection position in advance, to ensure that the working environment meets the relevant requirements. The horizontal support end head 6 of first steel arch 1 is put on the track first, and the gap between first steel arch 1 and the track is adjusted by using steel plate cushion block 4; second steel arch 2 is installed; second steel arch is connected with first steel arch 1 through connecting bolt 8, and then welding reinforcement is carried out; then, first steel arch 1 is fixed on pipe piece 11 through expansion bolt; the connection of circular arc protection frame is completed; finally, adjacent circular arc protection frames are connected by connecting cross bar 3.

[0044] If the pipe piece 11 is misaligned greatly, when the circular arc protection frame is closely attached to the inner wall of pipe piece 11, the circular arc protection frame can be placed on the pipe piece 11 in advance to try to assemble, only simple reinforcement is carried out, and the circular arc protection frame is adjusted according to the actual situation of misalignment, so that it is closely attached to the inner wall of pipe piece 11 as much as possible.

[0045] When the tunnel is through, the installed safety protection device is removed, and the misaligned pipe piece 11 area and damaged pipe piece 11 area are replaced according to the design requirements.

[0046] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and does not limit the utility model, any simple modification, change and equivalent structure change according to the technical essence of the utility model are still within the protection scope of the utility model technical scheme.
