Abstract
Description
A large-section internal steel and external concrete formwork structure Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building engineering technology, and in particular to a large-section internal steel and external concrete formwork structure. Background Technology
[0002] In construction engineering, the formwork system for large-section concrete structures is a crucial element in ensuring construction quality and safety. Traditional internal steel and external concrete formwork structures typically employ a combination of a split steel frame and external formwork, but this approach presents the following problems in practical applications:
[0003] Insufficient structural stability: Traditional support components are mostly composed of split, curved steel plates connected by simple bolts. During concrete pouring, they are prone to deformation due to lateral pressure, leading to formwork displacement or joint cracking. Especially in large-section structures, the splicing points of split support rings easily become weak points, unable to withstand dynamic loads, posing safety hazards. The fixing methods between the base and the frame mostly rely on ordinary bolts or welding, lacking effective shear limiting design. After long-term use, the entire structure is prone to displacement due to foundation settlement or vibration.
[0004] Modular assembly is inefficient: the splicing of existing formwork modules often relies on manual adjustment and positioning, lacking standardized interface design, resulting in insufficient assembly precision. Misalignment between modules can cause the support grooves to stagger, affecting the continuity of the support rings and weakening the overall rigidity. The fit clearance between the support grooves and support rings is not strictly controlled, making them prone to loosening due to thermal expansion and contraction or construction vibration, requiring frequent maintenance and adjustment, increasing construction costs.
[0005] Poor durability and adaptability: Steel support rings are prone to corrosion when exposed to humid environments for extended periods. Traditional rust prevention measures (such as ordinary paint) have short lifespans, requiring regular refurbishment and increasing maintenance burden. The lack of drainage design in the base allows water to seep into the limiting groove, accelerating corrosion of metal components and shortening the structure's lifespan. Furthermore, traditional formwork systems struggle to adapt to minor foundation deformations, necessitating additional reinforcement measures and increasing construction complexity.
[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, existing technologies attempt to increase rigidity by increasing the thickness of the support ring or employing welding reinforcement, but this results in a bulky structure and reduced construction efficiency. Some improved solutions introduce modular design, but core issues such as precise positioning and dynamic load adaptability remain unresolved. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a large-section internal steel-concrete external formwork structure that combines high stability, easy assembly, and long service life to meet the dual demands of modern large-scale engineering projects for both construction efficiency and safety.

[0012] In some embodiments, the support ring is made of seamless steel pipe with an anti-rust coating on its outer surface and lightweight high-strength concrete filling the inner wall to enhance its compressive strength.
[0013] In some embodiments, the radius of the arcuate section of the support groove is 1.05-1.1 times the radius of the support ring section, and an elastic rubber gasket is filled between the support ring and the support groove to eliminate assembly gaps.
[0014] In some embodiments, the bolt holes of the flange are evenly distributed along the circumference, and reinforcing ribs are provided between adjacent bolt holes. The flange is welded and fixed to the support ring.
[0015] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the formwork module is provided with radial reinforcing ribs, one end of which is connected to the central axis of the skeleton, and the other end extends to the edge of the support groove, with the thickness of the reinforcing ribs increasing radially.
[0016] In some embodiments, the bottom of the limiting groove of the base is provided with a drainage hole, and a one-way valve is installed in the drainage hole to prevent external water from seeping into the limiting groove.
[0017] In some embodiments, the flange connection of the support ring is covered with an annular protective cover made of stainless steel and fixed to the flange by clips for dust and corrosion protection.

[0056] II. Working Principle
[0057] Modular assembly:
[0058] The formwork module 101 is connected to the positioning groove 105 through the positioning column 104 and is spliced into the skeleton 100 segment by segment along the axial direction. The splicing plane is perpendicular to the central axis to ensure the straightness of the structure.
[0059] The support ring 201 is segmented and embedded in the annular track formed by the support groove 106, and is connected into a whole by the flange 202 and bolts 203, with elastic rubber gaskets filling the gaps.
[0060] Load transfer path:
[0061] During concrete pouring, lateral pressure is transmitted to the support ring 201 through the formwork module 101. The support ring 201 uses the uniform compressive strength of the circular cross section to distribute the load, and the internal concrete filling further resists compressive deformation.
[0062] The shear key of the base 300 restricts the horizontal displacement of the frame 100, and the clamping device adjusts the verticality of the frame 100 to ensure that the load is evenly transferred to the foundation.
[0063] Dynamic adaptability:
[0064] The elastic rubber gasket absorbs construction vibrations and prevents hard collisions between the support ring 201 and the support groove 106; the radial reinforcing ribs 107, through a thickness gradient design, diffuse stress from the center to the edge, avoiding local stress concentration.
[0065] III. Summary of Advantages
[0066] High structural stability:
[0067] The tight fit between the circular support ring 201 and the arc-shaped support groove 106, combined with the flange 202 and bolts 203 for fixing, significantly improves the resistance to deformation and is suitable for large-section concrete pouring.
[0068] Modular construction is highly efficient: The standardized design of the formwork module 101 and the positioning column 104 and positioning groove 105 enable rapid and precise splicing, shortening the construction period.
[0069] Excellent durability: The support ring 201 is filled with lightweight, high-strength concrete, combining lightweight and high strength; the anti-rust coating and protective cover design extend service life.
[0070] Adaptable to complex environments: Drainage hole 301 and one-way valve prevent water accumulation from corroding base 300; elastic rubber gasket and adjustable clamping device adapt to slight deformation of the foundation.
[0071] Economy and safety: Modular components are reusable, reducing construction costs; radial reinforcing ribs 107 and shear key design ensure structural safety and avoid construction accidents.
