Abstract
Description
A segment fixing device for negative ring segment assembly Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tunnel construction technology, specifically relating to a segment fixing device for negative ring segment assembly. Background Technology
[0002] The negative ring segment, also known as the temporary segment, is a ring-shaped segment installed between the reaction frame and the shield jacks during the initial shield tunneling launch to provide the tunnel boring machine (TBM) with the force to propel it forward. During the initial launch, in the launching shaft, the rear end of the TBM is a reaction frame (providing the backing force). The ring segment is installed between the reaction frame and the shield jacks to provide the force for the TBM to propel it forward until the shield tail enters the opening on the other side of the shaft wall and has advanced a certain distance. At this point, the friction between the ground and the positive ring segment can counteract the reaction force generated by the TBM's propulsion. Then, the temporary segment between the reaction frame and the shield tail has fulfilled its purpose and can be removed.
[0003] In the prior art, Chinese utility model patent document with authorization announcement number CN221169579U discloses a segment fixing device for negative ring segment assembly. It fixes the segments with an L-shaped fixing plate and a top rod. After fixing, the position of the segments can be slightly adjusted by the top rod to ensure that the segment assembly accuracy meets the requirements. However, the foot plate is welded to the inner circumferential wall of the shield tail shell of the tunnel boring machine, which is not convenient for quick installation and disassembly and is difficult to reuse.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a segment fixing device for negative ring segment assembly that is easy to install and disassemble quickly and is reusable to solve the current technical problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a negative ring segment assembly method that is convenient and quick to install and disassemble, and facilitates reuse.

[0022] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the segment fixing device for assembling negative ring segments includes a detachable connecting mechanism 1, which has a fixing seat 11. The fixing seat 11 is welded and fixed to the inner circumferential wall of the shield tail shell of the tunnel boring machine. A connecting flange 12 is detachably provided at the bottom of the fixing seat 11. A telescopic rod 2 is vertically fixed at the center of the bottom of the connecting flange 12. A main support rod 3 is fixedly provided on one side of the bottom end of the telescopic rod 2. Side support rods 4 are provided on both sides of the main support rod 3. Supporting connecting rods 41 are symmetrically provided on the side of the side support rods 4 near the main support rod 3. The end of the supporting connecting rod 41 is hinged to the side of the main support rod 3. A side support rod adjustment mechanism 5 for driving the supporting connecting rods 41 to swing up and down is provided below the main support rod 3. In this embodiment, the detachable connecting mechanism... In structure 1, the connecting flange 12 and the fixed seat 11 are detachably fixed. During the installation of the negative ring segment, the connecting flange 12 and the fixed seat 11 are first connected and fixed. After the installation is completed, the connecting flange 12 is removed from the fixed seat 11 to avoid collision damage during subsequent construction. It can be reinstalled and used in the next construction. By adjusting the length of the telescopic hanger 2, the position of the main support rod 3 can be adjusted along the axial direction of the segment so that the main support rod 3 abuts against the inner side of the segment, providing stable support for the segment. After the main support rod 3 supports the segment, the support connecting rod 41 is swung by adjusting the side support rod adjustment mechanism 5 so that the side support rod 5 abuts against the inside of the segment, increasing the support range inside the segment and further improving the stability of the segment support.
[0023] In some embodiments, the telescopic boom 2 has a fixed boom 21 vertically fixed at the bottom of the connecting flange 12.
