Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building construction, and in particular to a modular steel waler assembly that is easy to install quickly. Background Technology
[0002] Steel walers are a type of supporting component used in building structures, especially in foundation pit support, tunnel engineering, or underground structure construction. They are mainly used to enhance soil stability, prevent soil slippage or collapse, and bear and disperse the effects of earth pressure or other external forces.
[0003] Traditionally, the construction of steel walers typically involves first installing sheet piles, then fixing the steel walers onto them, and finally hoisting and installing the transverse support columns. However, due to the large size and relative weight of the steel walers, the installation process is inconvenient and needs improvement. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a modular steel waler assembly that is easy to install quickly, and has the effect of facilitating installation and construction.
[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a modular steel waler assembly that is easy to install quickly, comprising:
[0006] Steel sheet piles are vertically inserted into the bottom of the foundation pit in a wavy shape.
[0007] I-beam walers are laterally arranged inside the sheet piles;
[0008] A steel support is horizontally positioned between a pair of I-beam walers. The steel support includes a fixed head, a movable head, and a support column, with the support column positioned between the fixed head and the movable head.
[0009] The support plate is U-shaped and snapped onto the I-beam waler, and is used to support the steel support;
[0010] Both the fixed head and the movable head are provided with rectangular mounting plates at their ends. The support plate is provided with a U-shaped slide rail with its opening facing upward, which is used for the mounting plate to slide and embed.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that a pressure bar for pressing the upper end face of the mounting plate is horizontally slidably connected to the support plate.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that the bottom and top walls of the support plate are both vertically slidably connected with locking rods for abutting against the inner side of the I-beam waler.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: both ends of the support column are provided with dovetail blocks, and the ends of the fixed head and the movable head are provided with grooves for the dovetail blocks to be inserted and dovetail slots connecting the grooves and for the dovetail blocks to be inserted after rotation.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that both ends of the support column are provided with bolts penetrating the ends of the fixed head and the movable head.
[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: a clamping block is provided on the sheet pile, a sling is provided on the clamping block, and a connector for connecting the I-beam waler is provided at the lower end of the sling.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: the sling includes a wire rope and a turnbuckle, the wire rope is connected to the clamp, and the turnbuckle is connected to the wire rope and the connector.
[0017] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0027] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a modular steel waler assembly that is easy to install quickly includes steel sheet piles 1, I-beam walers 2, steel supports 3, and support plates 4.
[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the sheet pile 1 is vertically inserted into the bottom of the foundation pit in a wavy shape, and the I-beam waler 2 is horizontally arranged inside the sheet pile 1. A clamping block 5 is provided on the sheet pile 1, and a sling 51 is provided on the clamping block 5. The lower end of the sling 51 is provided with a connector 52 for connecting to the I-beam waler 2.
[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the sling 51 includes a wire rope 53 and a turnbuckle 54. The wire rope 53 is connected to a clamp 5, and the turnbuckle 54 connects the wire rope 53 and a connector 52.
[0031] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the steel support 3 is horizontally positioned between a pair of I-beam walers 2. The steel support 3 includes a fixed head 31, a movable head 32, and a support column 33, with the support column 33 positioned between the fixed head 31 and the movable head 32.
[0032] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, dovetail blocks 34 are provided at both ends of the support column 33, and grooves 35 for the dovetail blocks 34 to be inserted into the ends of the fixed head 31 and the movable head 32, as well as dovetail grooves 36 that connect the grooves 35 and allow the dovetail blocks 34 to be inserted after rotation, are provided at both ends of the support column 33. Bolts 37 are provided at both ends of the fixed head 31 and the movable head 32.
[0033] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the support plate 4 is U-shaped and fixed to the I-beam waler 2, and is used to support the steel support 3. The bottom and top walls of the support plate 4 are vertically slidably connected with locking rods 41 for pressing against the inside of the I-beam waler 2.
[0034] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, both the fixed head 31 and the movable head 32 are provided with rectangular mounting plates 38 at their ends. The support plate 4 is provided with a U-shaped slide rail 42 with its opening facing upward, which is used for the mounting plate 38 to slide and embed. A pressure rod 43 for pressing the upper end face of the mounting plate 38 is horizontally slidably connected to the support plate 4.
[0035] When support construction is required within the foundation pit, the sheet piles 1 are first vertically inserted into the bottom of the pit. Then, the I-beam walers 2 are hoisted, positioning them inside the sheet piles 1. Next, clamping blocks 5 are placed on the upper end of the sheet piles 1, and connectors 52 are fixed to the I-beam walers 2. The slings 51 are used to suspend the I-beam walers 2. Subsequently, the turnbuckles 54 are loosened or tightened to adjust the height and level of the I-beam walers 2, ensuring they fit snugly against the inside of the sheet piles 1.
[0036] Next, remove the support plate 4 and fasten it onto the I-beam waler 2. Then, pop out the locking rod 41 on the support plate 4 and press it against the back of the I-beam waler 2 to fix the support plate 4. Then, place the support column 33 between the fixed head 31 and the movable head 32, so that the dovetail block 34 on the support column 33 is embedded into the groove 35 on the fixed head 31 and the movable head 32. Then, control the rotation of the support column 33 so that the dovetail block 34 is embedded into the dovetail groove 36. Finally, insert the bolt 37 to connect the three components, completing the assembly of the entire steel support 3.
[0037] Finally, the entire steel support 3 is lifted, allowing the mounting plates 38 at both ends to slide down into the slide rails 42 on the support plate 4. The pressure bars 43 on the support plate 4 then pop out, pressing against the upper surface of the mounting plates 38, completing the assembly between the steel support 3 and the I-beam waler 2. Finally, pressure is applied to the hinge head 32 to support the sheet pile 1, completing the construction and use of the entire support structure.
[0038] The specific embodiments are merely explanations of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to these embodiments without contributing any inventive step, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
