Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tunnel construction technology, specifically to a cooling device for large-volume concrete lining of ultra-long and ultra-thick tunnels. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of railway tunnel construction, the scope of open-cut tunnel construction is becoming increasingly widespread, and the stability requirements for tunnel structures are becoming increasingly stringent. The thickness of existing tunnel lining structures is also increasing accordingly. According to the "Standard for Construction of Mass Concrete," concrete structures with a minimum solid dimension of not less than 1 meter are classified as mass concrete. When the tunnel lining thickness exceeds 1 meter, it can also be defined as mass concrete. In mass concrete structures, due to the large pouring volume and poor thermal conductivity of concrete, the heat generated by cement hydration is difficult to dissipate quickly, creating a temperature difference between the inside and outside, which easily leads to concrete cracking. Especially under external temperature differences, mass concrete, constrained during the cooling process, is more prone to through-cracks, thus reducing its durability and service life, posing a significant hazard.
[0003] Traditional construction methods typically involve laying cooling water pipes inside the concrete, with circulating cooling water to dissipate the heat generated by cement hydration. However, this method is inconvenient for the recycling of cooling water pipes, has high construction costs, and the cooling water pipes are mostly arranged longitudinally along the tunnel, resulting in a small contact area between the pipes and the lining and low heat exchange efficiency. Therefore, to address these technical problems, a large-volume concrete cooling device for ultra-long and ultra-thick tunnel linings is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model proposes a large-volume concrete cooling device for ultra-long and ultra-thick tunnel linings, which facilitates the recycling of curved cooling water pipes, reduces construction costs, increases the contact area between cooling water pipes and linings, and improves heat exchange efficiency.
[0005] A cooling device for large-volume concrete lining of ultra-long and ultra-thick tunnels includes:
[0006] The outer lining formwork assembly is installed on the outer lining trolley;
[0007] The inner lining template assembly is installed on the inner lining trolley;
[0008] Both the outer lining formwork assembly and the inner lining formwork assembly include a top formwork and side formwork, with the side formwork hinged to both ends of the top formwork to form an arched structure; and
[0009] The cooling component includes an arc-shaped cooling water pipe. The arc-shaped cooling water pipe is provided on the side of the top formwork and the side formwork that is close to the concrete. The arc-shaped cooling water pipe is arranged in an S-shape around the top formwork and the side formwork. One end of the arc-shaped cooling water pipe has a water inlet and the other end has a drain outlet.
[0010] The beneficial effects of the above-mentioned cooling device for large-volume concrete lining of ultra-long and ultra-thick tunnels are as follows:
[0011] By setting the curved cooling water pipes on the top and side formwork, the curved cooling water pipes can be moved forward synchronously with the lining trolley for cyclic construction, which facilitates the recycling of the curved cooling water pipes and reduces construction costs. In addition, the curved cooling water pipes are arranged in an S-shape along the top and side formwork, which increases the contact area between the curved cooling water pipes and the lining and improves heat exchange efficiency. At the same time, the S-shaped structure can generate more turbulence in the cooling water inside the curved cooling water pipes, which can transfer heat more efficiently.
[0012] In one embodiment, the curved cooling water pipe is a steel pipe. It has high mechanical strength, can withstand greater pressure and external loads, and prevents deformation of the curved cooling water pipe during concrete pouring.
[0013] In one embodiment, the curved cooling water pipe is tightly embedded in the top formwork and the side formwork on the side close to the concrete. The tight fit between the curved cooling water pipe and the top and side formwork increases the heat exchange area, thereby improving the cooling effect on the lining.
[0014] In one embodiment, the cooling assembly further includes interface pipes, and both the water inlet and the water outlet are connected to interface pipes extending out of the top template and the side template. By providing interface pipes extending out of the top template and the side template, it is convenient to connect to an external cooling water supply device through the interface pipes.
[0015] In one embodiment, the connections between the water inlet and the drain outlet and the interface pipe are both covered with waterproof tape. This improves the sealing of the connections between the water inlet and the drain outlet and the interface pipe, preventing water leakage at the connection points.
[0016] In one embodiment, a water valve for regulating the flow rate is provided on the water inlet. By setting the water valve, the flow rate of cooling water entering the arc-shaped cooling water pipe can be adjusted, which facilitates indirect adjustment of the lining cooling temperature as needed.

[0026] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, a cooling device for large-volume concrete in ultra-long and ultra-thick tunnel lining includes an outer lining template assembly, an inner lining template assembly, and a cooling assembly. Specifically, the outer lining template assembly is installed on the outer lining trolley 1; the inner lining template assembly is installed on the inner lining trolley 2; both the outer and inner lining template assemblies include a top template 10 and a side template 101, with the side templates 101 hinged to both ends of the top template 10 to form an arched structure; the cooling assembly includes an arc-shaped cooling water pipe 20, with arc-shaped cooling water pipes 20 provided on the side of the top template 10 and the side template 101 close to the concrete, arranged in an S-shape around the top template 10 and the side template 101, with an inlet 201 at one end and a drain 202 at the other end.
[0028] In the above embodiments, by setting the arc-shaped cooling water pipes 20 on the top template 10 and the side template 101, the arc-shaped cooling water pipes 20 can move forward synchronously with the lining trolley for cyclic construction, which facilitates the recycling of the arc-shaped cooling water pipes 20 and reduces construction costs. In addition, the arc-shaped cooling water pipes 20 are arranged in an S-shape along the top template 10 and the side template 101, which increases the contact area between the arc-shaped cooling water pipes 20 and the lining and improves the heat exchange efficiency. At the same time, the S-shaped structure can generate more turbulence in the cooling water within the arc-shaped cooling water pipes 20, which can transfer heat more efficiently.
[0029] Specifically, in the above embodiments, the arc-shaped cooling water pipe 20 is a steel pipe. It has high mechanical strength and can withstand greater pressure and external loads, thus preventing deformation of the arc-shaped cooling water pipe 20 during concrete pouring.
[0030] Based on the above embodiments, the cooling component further includes interface pipes, with both the water inlet 201 and the drain outlet 202 connected to interface pipes extending out of the top template 10 and the side template 101. By providing interface pipes extending out of the top template 10 and the side template 101, it is convenient to connect to external cooling water supply equipment via the interface pipes.
[0031] Based on the above embodiments, furthermore, the connections between the inlet 201 and the outlet 202 and the interface pipe are both covered with waterproof tape. This improves the sealing performance of the connections between the inlet 201 and the outlet 202 and the interface pipe, preventing water leakage at the connections.
[0032] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the curved cooling water pipe 20 is tightly embedded in the top formwork 10 and the side formwork 101, close to the concrete. The tight fit between the curved cooling water pipe 20 and the top formwork 10 and the side formwork 101 can expand the heat exchange area, thereby improving the cooling effect on the lining.
[0033] In one embodiment, a water valve for adjusting the flow rate is provided on the water inlet 201. By providing the water valve, the flow rate of cooling water entering the arc-shaped cooling water pipe 20 can be adjusted, which facilitates indirect adjustment of the lining cooling temperature as needed.
[0034] The specific implementation method of the above-mentioned cooling device for large-volume concrete lining of ultra-long and ultra-thick tunnels is as follows:
[0035] By connecting the external cooling water supply equipment to the inlet 201 and outlet 202 to form a loop, the external cooling water supply equipment is activated to deliver cooling water to the curved cooling water pipe 20. After flowing through the curved cooling water pipe 20, the water flows back to the external cooling water supply equipment from the outlet 202. The cooling water flowing through the curved cooling water pipe 20 can exchange heat with the lining, thereby achieving the purpose of cooling the lining. By installing the curved cooling water pipe 20 on the top formwork 10 and the side formwork 101, the curved cooling water pipe 20 can move with the lining trolley. The step-by-step cyclic construction facilitates the recycling of the arc-shaped cooling water pipes 20, reducing construction costs. Furthermore, the arc-shaped cooling water pipes 20 are arranged in an S-shape along the top formwork 10 and the side formwork 101, which increases the contact area between the arc-shaped cooling water pipes 20 and the lining, improving heat exchange efficiency. At the same time, the S-shaped structure allows the cooling water to generate more turbulence within the arc-shaped cooling water pipes 20, enabling more efficient heat transfer. Moreover, the flow rate of cooling water entering the arc-shaped cooling water pipes 20 can be controlled by adjusting the water valve, making it easy to indirectly adjust the lining cooling temperature as needed.
[0036] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
