[0032] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0033] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a joint structure for a diaphragm wall, including a first groove segment 1, a second groove segment 2, a first connector 3, and a second connector 4. One end of the first groove segment 1 is provided with a first end connection 11, and one end of the second groove segment 2 is provided with a second end connection 21, which is connected to the first end connection 11. The first connector 3 includes a support portion 31 and an insertion portion 32 connected to each other. The support portion 31 is located in the first groove segment 1, and the insertion portion 32 is located at the end of the support portion 31 facing the second groove segment 2. The second connector 4 is located in the second end connection 21 and has a connecting groove 41, into which the insertion portion 32 is inserted.
[0034] Specifically, a water-stopping element 5 is provided on the outer wall of the insertion part 32 and / or the inner wall of the connecting groove 41. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the water-stopping component 5 has the characteristic of expanding when exposed to water. It can expand rapidly when in contact with water, filling the tiny gap between the insert part 32 and the inner wall of the connecting groove 41, thereby improving the waterproof performance between the first end part 11 and the second end part 21.
[0035] In this embodiment, both the outer wall of the insert part 32 and the inner wall of the connecting groove 41 are provided with water-stopping elements 5. The water-stopping elements 5 on the outer wall of the insert part 32 and the inner wall of the connecting groove 41 can expand rapidly when in contact with water. After the two water-stopping elements 5 expand, they come into contact with each other, which can better fill the tiny gap between the insert part 32 and the inner wall of the connecting groove 41, thereby improving the waterproof performance between the first end joint 11 and the second end joint 21.
[0036] In other embodiments, the water-stopping element 5 can be provided only on the outer wall of the insert portion 32, or only on the inner wall of the connecting groove 41. Since the water-stopping element 5 has the property of expanding when exposed to water, even if only one water-stopping element 5 is provided, it can quickly expand and fill the tiny gap between the insert portion 32 and the inner wall of the connecting groove 41 when exposed to water, thereby improving the waterproof performance between the first end portion 11 and the second end portion 21.
[0037] Optionally, the length of the water-stopping element 5 extending along the outer wall of the insert portion 32 or the inner wall of the connecting groove 41 is not less than the height of the first groove segment 1 and the second groove segment 2. That is, the water-stopping element 5 can completely fill the gap between the insert portion 32 and the inner wall of the connecting groove 41 along the height direction of the first groove segment 1 and the second groove segment 2, further improving the waterproof performance between the first end joint 11 and the second end joint 21.
[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first connector 3 and the second connector 4 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, with at least two of each. At least two first connectors 3 are sequentially arranged along the thickness direction of the first groove segment 1. Correspondingly, the second connectors 4 are sequentially arranged along the thickness direction of the second groove segment 2 at the second end joint 21. The one-to-one correspondence of at least two first connectors 3 and second connectors 4 ensures that multiple water-stopping elements 5 are arranged along the thickness directions of the first groove segment 1 and the second groove segment 2, further improving the waterproof performance between the first end joint 11 and the second end joint 21. Depending on the actual thickness of the first groove segment 1 and the second groove segment 2, the number of first connectors 3 can be set to two to four.
[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the second end joint 21 is a cross-shaped plate, including a first plate 211 and a second plate 212 connected to each other. The first plate 211 is located at one end of the second groove 2 facing the first groove 1, and the second plate 212 protrudes from the side of the first plate 211 facing the first groove 1. The first end joint 11 is a groove that mates with the second plate 212. Two second connecting members 4 are provided along the thickness direction of the second groove 2, and the second plate 212 is located between the two second connecting members 4. Correspondingly, two first connecting members 3 are provided along the thickness direction of the first groove 1, and two sets of water-stopping members 5 are provided along the thickness directions of the first groove 1 and the second groove 2. Both sets of water-stopping members 5, as well as the first end joint 11 and the second end joint 21, have a waterproof effect. The above structural design can further improve the waterproof performance between the first end joint 11 and the second end joint 21.
[0040] In this embodiment, the second end portion 21 is a cross-shaped steel plate, and both the first plate 211 and the second plate 212 are steel plates, with the first plate 211 perpendicular to the second plate 212. In other embodiments, the second end portion 21 can also be an I-beam, and the first end portion 11 can be connected to the I-beam.
[0041] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first connector 3 is a T-shaped steel plate, the support part 31 is the web of the T-shaped steel plate, and the insertion part 32 is the flange of the T-shaped steel plate. The web is located in the first groove section 1, and the flange is inserted into the connecting groove 41. The T-shaped cross-section of the T-shaped steel plate provides greater bending stiffness, making the first connector 3 more stable under pressure, reducing local stress concentration, and improving the durability of the first connector 3. The T-shaped design also facilitates the insertion of the insertion part 32 of the first connector 3 into the connecting groove 41.
[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first channel segment 1 also includes an internal steel reinforcement structure 12. The support part 31 of the first connector 3 is fixedly connected to the steel reinforcement structure 12, which improves the connection stability between the first channel segment 1 and the first connector 3. The connection between the support part 31 and the steel reinforcement structure 12 can be welding or wire binding, which will not be described in detail here.
[0043] Specifically, the connecting groove 41 has a first opening and a second opening at both ends along the height direction of the second groove segment 2, and a third opening facing the first groove segment 1, wherein the width of the third opening is less than the width of the bottom of the connecting groove 41. The insert part 32 is inserted into the connecting groove 41 through the first opening or the second opening, and the third opening allows the support part 31 to pass through the connecting groove 41. The width of the third opening is greater than the width of the support part 31 but less than the width of the insert part 32, which can confine the first connector 3 within the connecting groove 41, further enhancing the connection stability of the first connector 3 and the second connector 4.
[0044] In this embodiment, the water-stopping component 5 is a EPDM rubber seal. EPDM rubber seals have good water-swelling properties and can expand rapidly when in contact with water to fill the tiny gaps between the insert 32 and the inner wall of the connecting groove 41. In addition, the molecular structure of EPDM rubber seals is compact and has strong hydrophobicity, which can effectively block water penetration. It is especially suitable for long-term immersion or high humidity environments.
[0045] In other embodiments, the water-stopping element 5 may also be a seal made of water-swellable polyurethane grouting material or a highly absorbent polymer seal made of polyacrylic acid, without further limitation.
[0046] Optionally, a grouting channel is provided at the connection between the first end portion 11 and the second end portion 21. The grouting channel is used to inject waterproof grout after the first end portion 11 and the second end portion 21 are connected, so as to further improve the connection sealing between the first end portion 11 and the second end portion 21, thereby improving the waterproof performance between the first end portion 11 and the second end portion 21.
[0047] In this embodiment, the surfaces of the first end portion 11, the first connector 3, and the second connector 4 are all provided with a corrosion-resistant coating. In a humid underground environment, the corrosion-resistant coating can improve the corrosion resistance of the first end portion 11, the first connector 3, and the second connector 4, and further improve the durability of the underground continuous wall joint structure.
[0048] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
