Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shield tunneling technology, specifically to a disassembly and assembly device for replacing encroaching tunnel segments inside a tunnel. Background Technology
[0002] The shield tunneling method refers to the method of constructing underground spaces by using the cutterhead and cutting tools at the front end of the shield machine to excavate rock and soil, assembling precast tunnel segments under the protection of the shield shell, and providing reaction force for the propulsion hydraulic cylinders, thus advancing in a serpentine manner through the strata. With the vigorous development of rail transit engineering in my country, the shield tunneling method has become a consensus in urban rail transit construction methods due to its advantages such as safety and efficiency.
[0003] With the improvement of urban underground space excavation efficiency, shield tunnel construction faces more complex comprehensive conditions such as large burial depth, small radius, large longitudinal slope, and complex geology due to the influence of surface and underground structures. During construction, problems such as serious misalignment and protrusion of tunnel segments, water and mud inrush, and large overall deformation are inevitable, which may seriously affect the safety of the tunnel.
[0004] Currently, the main method for partially replacing encroaching tunnel segments in shield tunnels is to combine external ground reinforcement with internal support to ensure tunnel structure and construction safety before proceeding with the segment replacement. However, this method suffers from drawbacks such as long ground reinforcement time, complex support conversion procedures, and high safety risks, significantly increasing construction time and costs. This invention provides a disassembly and assembly device for replacing encroaching tunnel segments to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0031] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a dismantling and assembly device for replacing encroaching tunnel segments inside a shield tunnel is used to replace encroaching tunnel segments. The dismantling and assembly device includes a sealing structure 1, a circulation structure 2, a support structure 3, a segment breaking structure 4, a segment replacement structure 5, and a manhole 6. The sealing structure 1 is installed in the shield tunnel, in contact with the inner wall of the tunnel structure, and is located on both sides of the segment replacement section of the tunnel. It is used to seal the segment replacement section of the tunnel and support the corresponding tunnel structure. The circulation structure 2 and the manhole 6 are installed on the sealing structure 1. The circulation structure 2 is used for grouting and grouting into the sealing structure 1, and the manhole 6 is used for personnel entry and exit. The support structure 3 serves as an installation structure, including a support frame 31 and an actuating rod 32. Support 31 is mounted on the sealing structure 1 to support the actuating rod 32. The actuating rod 32 is movably mounted on the support frame 31 and passes through the axis of the sealing structure 1. During construction, the actuating rod 32 moves along the front-back direction of the axis, thereby driving the segment breaking structure 4 and the segment replacement structure 5 to move synchronously. The actuating rod 32 serves as the installation base for the segment breaking structure 4 and the segment replacement structure 5, and drives the segment breaking structure 4 and the segment replacement structure 5 to rotate and move. The segment breaking structure 4 and the segment replacement structure 5 are mounted on the actuating rod 32 and located in the sealing structure 1. The segment breaking structure 4 is used to break and clean the intruding segments, and the segment replacement structure 5 is used to install new segments in the corresponding positions.
[0032] like Figure 1As shown, the construction principle of this utility model is as follows: A sealing structure 1 is installed in the tunnel section with encroaching segments. The installed sealing structure 1 seals both ends of the corresponding section of the tunnel. Then, grouting is performed inside the sealing structure 1 using a circulation structure 2 installed on it to achieve mud-water balance, thereby supporting the corresponding tunnel section. This eliminates the need for external supports and ensures the stability of the strata. After grouting and mud-water balance, personnel need to enter the sealing structure 1 to remove the fastening bolts of the encroaching segments. The bolt removal process requires divers to enter and exit the sealing structure 1 through a manhole 6, ensuring that the mud-water balance within the sealing structure 1 is not disrupted. Then, the action is controlled by lever 32. First, the segment breaking structure 4 is aligned with the encroaching segment by translation and rotation. After the encroaching segment is broken and cleared by the segment breaking structure 4, the segment replacement structure 5 is aligned with the placed new segment by translation and rotation and then gripped. Then, the segment replacement structure 5 and the new segment are moved to the removal position by translation and rotation and installed. After the new segment is installed, the diver enters the sealing structure 1 through the manhole 6 to lock the connecting bolt of the new segment. After that, the diver exits the sealing structure 1, and the grout inside the sealing structure 1 is discharged by the circulation structure 2. Then the equipment can be dismantled. The above construction process only requires the sealing structure 1 to form a mud-water balance to complete the support of the tunnel structure. Compared with the support method that combines external and internal supports, the construction process of this utility model has the advantages of convenient operation and fewer construction steps, which can greatly improve construction efficiency and reduce costs.
[0033] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown, the sealing structure 1 further includes a front sealing assembly and a rear sealing assembly, which are arranged opposite to each other in the tunnel. After installation, both the front and rear sealing assemblies are perpendicular to the tunnel axis, and their outer ends are in contact with the inner wall of the tunnel. After installation, the front and rear sealing assemblies block and seal the tunnel section between them, forming a closed inner cavity together with the tunnel structure. Both the front and rear sealing assemblies include a sealing baffle 11 and a sealing ring plate 12. The sealing baffle 11 is arranged perpendicular to the tunnel axis, and the sealing ring plate 12 is arranged perpendicularly to the edge of the sealing baffle 11 and in contact with the inner wall of the tunnel. A sealing gasket 13 is provided on the sealing ring plate 12. The sealing gasket 13 is located on the outer side of the sealing ring plate 12. After the sealing ring plate 12 is installed, it squeezes the sealing gasket 13 on its outer side to achieve the seal between the sealing ring plate 12 and the inner wall of the tunnel, ensuring the sealing performance between the front and rear sealing assemblies.
[0034] like Figure 1 , 3As shown in Figure 4, further, both the front sealing assembly and the rear sealing assembly are composed of unit component blocks. These unit component blocks are assembled to form the front sealing assembly and the rear sealing assembly. Each unit component block includes a sealing baffle unit and a sealing ring plate unit. The sealing baffle unit is a fan-shaped plate, and the sealing baffle 11 is composed of sealing baffle units. The sealing ring plate unit is an arc-shaped plate, and the sealing ring plate 12 is composed of sealing ring plate units. The sealing baffle units and sealing ring plate units are correspondingly arranged. A support frame 31 is mounted on one of the unit component blocks. During installation, the unit component block with the support frame 31 is positioned below to ensure structural stability.

The sealing baffle 11 is provided with corresponding grouting ports, and both the upper circulation grout pipe 21 and the lower circulation grout pipe 22 are connected to the grouting ports. During grouting, grouting is performed through the lower circulation grout pipe 22. When grout flows out of the upper circulation grout pipe 21, grouting has been completed in the sealing structure 1. When grout is discharged, it is discharged through the lower circulation grout pipe 22.

The radially spaced 314 support legs are connected to the upper ends of the first support leg 311, the second support leg 312, and the third support leg 313. The lower ends of the first support leg 311, the second support leg 312, and the third support leg 313 are disposed on the sealing ring plate 12. The actuating rod 32 is connected to the support seat 314 of the front support frame and the support seat 314 of the rear support frame. The actuating rod 32 is mounted between the front and rear support seats 314 and can move back and forth along the axial direction and rotate around the axis on the front and rear support seats 314.
[0037] like Figure 1 , 6As shown, the segment breaking structure 4 further includes a first actuating arm 41 and a breaking head 42. The first actuating arm 41 is fixedly mounted on the actuating rod 32 and moves synchronously with the actuating rod 32. The breaking head 42 is movably mounted on the outer end of the first actuating arm 41 and moves telescopically along the axis of the first actuating arm 41 to break and clean the encroaching segments.
[0038] like Figure 1 , 7 As shown, the segment replacement structure 5 further includes a second action arm 51, a telescopic arm 52, and a suction cup 53. The second action arm 51 is fixedly mounted on the action rod 32 and moves synchronously with the action rod 32. The telescopic arm 52 is movably mounted on the outer end of the second action arm 51 and can extend and retract along the axis of the second action arm 51, while also being able to rotate around the axis. The suction cup 53 is movably mounted on the outer end of the telescopic arm 52 and uses suction to grasp the new segment.
[0039] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 8 and 9, the manhole 6 further includes a manhole chamber 61, a first gate 62, and a second gate 63. The manhole chamber 61 is fixedly mounted on the sealing baffle 11 of the front sealing assembly. The first gate 62 is located on the front end face of the manhole chamber 61 for divers to enter the manhole chamber 61. The second gate 63 is located on the rear end face of the manhole chamber 61 for divers to enter the sealing structure 1 from the manhole chamber 61. The sealing baffle 11 of the front sealing assembly is provided with a manhole passage, which is blocked by the second gate 63.

Then, the actuating rod 32 is first inserted into the support frame 31 of the unit component block, which is provided with the support frame 31. Then, the unit component block is supported and kept stable. Then, the unit component blocks are assembled and connected one by one to form a complete front sealing assembly and rear sealing assembly, thereby forming the sealing structure 1 and sealing and supporting the tunnel.
[0044] S3, Grouting support: The internal cavity of the sealing structure 1 is filled with mud through the circulation structure 2, and the shield tunnel is supported by the mud filling the interior of the sealing structure 1.

Then the replacement structure 5 is controlled to install the new segment, thus realizing the segment replacement.
[0046] S5, segment fixing: The diver is sent into the sealed structure 1 using the manhole 6 to lock the connecting bolts of the new segment. Then the diver exits the sealed structure 1 and the mud inside the sealed structure 1 is discharged through the circulation structure 2.
[0047] S6, Equipment Dismantling: Dismantle the equipment and transport it to the working shaft, then lift it out of the ground through the working shaft.
[0048] Furthermore, in step S4, when replacing the segment, the control rod 32 moves back and forth and rotates, so that the segment breaking structure 4 is aligned with the intruding segment, and the intruding segment is broken and removed.
