[0031] Reference Figure 1-5 This embodiment provides a pull-locking device for connecting large double-walled steel caissons for segmented hoisting, including a first pusher 6 for installation on the left steel caisson 11 and a second pusher 5 for installation on the right steel caisson 10; it also includes a pull-pressurizing device 100-ton through-hole jack 1 and a pull-transfer force bar 9 made of finely rolled threaded steel; the diameter of the finely rolled threaded steel 9 is 40mm.
[0032] The first jacking frame 6 and the second jacking frame 5 each have a 45-50mm hole for the fine-rolled threaded steel bar 9 to pass through. The fine-rolled threaded steel bar 9 passes through the through-hole jack 1, the first jacking frame 6 and the second jacking frame 5 in sequence; the through-hole jack 1 is installed between the first pad 12 and the first jacking frame 6, and a tool nut 2 is provided on the side of the first pad 12 away from the through-hole jack 1 to be threadedly connected to the fine-rolled threaded steel bar 9 to fix the through-hole jack 1.
[0033] Furthermore, the first pusher frame 6 includes a front pusher plate 601 and a rear pusher plate 602 arranged in parallel. The inner side of the front pusher plate 601 is provided with a locking nut 3 and connected to the precision-rolled threaded steel bar 9. Similarly, a fixing nut 4 is provided at the front of the second pusher frame 5 and connected to the precision-rolled threaded steel bar 9.
[0034] The through-hole jack 1 is connected to two external hydraulic oil pumps. The hydraulic oil pumps are connected and fixed to the oil pipes of the through-hole jack. The construction personnel operate the hydraulic oil pumps to tension the joints of the left steel sleeve 11 and the right steel sleeve 10, and tighten the locking nut 3 to achieve the tension locking of the left steel sleeve 11 and the right steel sleeve 10.
[0035] During construction, in some cases, the steel casing may not be lowered to the designed elevation, resulting in a height difference of several centimeters between the left steel casing 11 and the right steel casing 10. In order to ensure that the left steel casing 11 and the right steel casing 10 can be welded together in this case, in this embodiment, a connecting ring plate 8 is installed in the joint between the left steel casing 11 and the right steel casing 10 to compensate for the height difference between them.
[0036] To prevent excessive local stress and deformation of the casing wall during the pulling process at the connection points of the first jacking frame 6 and the left steel casing 11, and the connection points of the second jacking frame 5 and the right steel casing 10, a wall reinforcement plate 7 is provided between the wall of the first jacking frame 6 and the left steel casing 11; a wall reinforcement plate 7 is also provided between the wall of the second jacking frame 5 and the right steel casing 10. The wall reinforcement plate 7 strengthens the casing wall.
[0037] To prevent the fixing nut 4 at the front end of the second pusher frame from failing to be installed due to excessive horizontal position deviation between the left steel sleeve 11 and the right steel sleeve 10, the diameter of the hole in the front pusher plate 601 of the first pusher frame 6 is increased to about 80mm compared to the rear pusher plate, so that the precision rolled threaded steel bar 9 can have a larger angle of movement when docking.
[0038] To prevent stress concentration at the connection points between the locking nut 3 and the first push plate, and between the fixing nut 4 and the second push frame during pull, thus preventing damage to the first push plate and the second push frame, a second pad 13 is provided between the locking nut 3 and the first push plate, and between the fixing nut 4 and the second push frame, to increase the contact area between them and avoid stress concentration that could damage the first push plate and the second push frame.
[0039] The specific construction method of the tie-locking device for connecting large double-walled steel caissons used in segmented hoisting in this embodiment is as follows:
[0040] In this embodiment, a total of 8 sets of the tie-locking device are installed at the interface between the two steel casings: 4 sets on the deck of the steel casing, 2 sets on the inner wall of the steel casing, and 2 sets on the outer wall of the steel casing. When lowering the steel casing, the left steel casing 11 is lowered first, followed by the right steel casing 10. During the steel casing processing stage, a 3cm thick wall reinforcement plate 7 is welded to the location of the first push plate and the second push frame at the tie-locking position to reinforce the wall of the steel casing.
[0041] The first jacking frame 6 is welded to the left steel casing 11 (lowered first), and the second jacking frame 5 is welded to the right steel casing (lowered later). Simultaneously, the through-hole of the 100-ton through-hole jack 1 is inserted into the precision-rolled threaded steel bar 9, and the tool nut 2 is tightened to fix the 100-ton through-hole jack 1 onto the first jacking frame 6. The oil pipe of the through-hole jack 1 is then pulled to the top surface of the steel casing and fixed to the raised cofferdam. The locking nut 3 (not tightened) and the second pad 13 also need to be installed inside the front jacking plate 601 to facilitate locking after the pull-out is completed.
[0042] Next, the steel caissons were lowered in sections. After the left steel caisson 11 was lowered and secured, the floating crane lowered the right steel caisson 10 onto the steel casing supported by the hoisting system. The floating crane maintained a lifting weight of approximately 70% of the caisson's weight to prevent significant misalignment between the two jacking frames, which would prevent the threaded steel bars 9 from being inserted. Before the pull-locking mechanism was engaged, the construction workers installed four sets of fixing nuts 4 on the top surface of the main deck, and divers installed four sets of fixing nuts 4 on both sides of the steel caisson wall underwater. The construction workers installed two hydraulic oil pumps (1 to 4), and connected and secured them to the oil pipes of the eight sets of through-hole jacks 1 of the pull-locking device.
[0043] The floating crane slightly lifts the right steel casing 10 (the distance between the suspension system and the top surface of the supporting steel casing is 2-3cm). Construction workers operate two hydraulic pumps simultaneously to pull the right steel casing 10 and left steel casing 11 together tightly, then tighten the locking nut 3. After the joint gap meets the design requirements, the floating crane slowly lowers the steel casing. Once in place, the tightness of the locking nut 3 is checked; if there are no problems, the jacks are removed. After the welding of the left and right steel casings is completed, the locking nut 3 can be loosened and the first jacking frame 6 and the second jacking frame 5 can be removed.
[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the design concept of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to the present utility model by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present utility model using this concept shall be deemed as an infringement of the protection scope of the present utility model.
