Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of turnout area reinforcement technology, specifically relating to a reinforcement device for underpass railway turnout areas. Background Technology

[0002] The application of shield tunneling technology in jacking construction is a new trend in the development of jacking construction. The shield tunneling method is designed with a complete earth pressure balance system and excavation protection system, which not only reduces the impact on the ground surface at the work site, but also improves the safety of construction, making it a development direction for jacking construction.

[0003] In order to apply the principles of shield tunneling to the construction of underpass jacking, civil engineers have conducted many beneficial explorations. The "bridge shield tunneling method" is a simpler, more convenient, economical and reasonable form of shield tunneling for frame bridges. It is a further improvement and perfection of the traditional shield tunneling method. Its working principle is the same as that of open shield tunneling using the natural balance method or semi-natural balance method, but its cost is lower, the operation requirements are not very high, and it can be flexibly assembled according to different cross-sectional forms of frame bridges. It is more suitable for the jacking construction of frame bridges under constantly changing cross-sectional dimensions, and its adaptability is greatly improved, which is suitable for the current construction needs.

[0004] The patent publication number CN100535392C discloses a method for constructing a box girder bridge using a shield tunnel. This patent includes the following steps: excavating a foundation pit on the side of the road section where the box girder bridge needs to be built, based on the design height of the box girder bridge; fabricating a sliding plate according to the bridge's length; prefabricating the box girder bridge according to design requirements; fabricating and installing the shield tunnel according to the height and width of the box girder bridge; reinforcing the railway line as needed; performing a cyclical box girder bridge jacking operation in the sequence of sub-shield tunneling, central soil excavation and transportation, axis measurement, box girder bridge jacking, jacking correction, and line maintenance; restoring normal railway line operation and dismantling the shield tunnel after the box girder bridge is in place. The shield tunnels in this patent are all welded steel structures, requiring a large amount of steel. They are assembled and welded on-site, resulting in a huge amount of on-site welding work, making it difficult to control welding quality. During underground excavation, welding deformation is easily caused, which is detrimental to the stability of the railway line and roadbed. Utility Model Content

The main upper beam 67 is installed on top of the two main beam columns 66, adding to the main upper beam 67. The shield tunneling top plate 69 is installed on top of the two main upper beams 67, adding to the shield tunneling top plate 69. The shield tunneling top plate 69 supports the soil and rock, and is located above the sliding plates 70. It also includes...

[0026] The drive unit is located on top of the slide plate 70, and the sliding frame 71 is located at the output end of the drive unit. The drive unit can be a hydraulic cylinder or a jack. The sliding frame 71 is moved by the hydraulic cylinder or jack, and the sliding frame 71 and the slide plate 70 are slidably connected.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-5 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment, but differs in that:

[0030] It also includes multiple fastening blocks 73 that are screwed to the bottom of the slide frame 71, which achieves a stable installation of the fastening blocks 73.

By using the cooperation of the guide plate and the guide groove, the guidance during the installation of the sub-shield cutting foot 72 is increased, and the efficiency of splicing the sub-shield cutting foot 72 and the sliding frame 71 is improved.

[0032] The reinforcement device for the underpass railway turnout area of ​​this utility model is set at the front end of the frame bridge. Its main function is to support the earth pressure and vehicle load transmitted from the side and top. It forms a stable earth pressure balance system through a specific structure to ensure construction safety and railway operation safety.

[0033] Earth pressure balance system formation

[0034] Natural earth pressure balance system: The shield body is set to a certain length. During the excavation process, the excavation face will form a stable slope. This slope can balance the stress in the original soil, thus forming a natural earth pressure balance system, reducing the risk of soil deformation and collapse.

[0035] Advanced support and jacking power

[0036] Advanced support: The sub-shield set at the front end of the tunnel bridge shield body (the structure where the sub-shield cutting foot 72 is located is part of the sub-shield structure) plays the role of advanced support; before the shield body advances forward, the sub-shield first supports the soil in front to prevent the soil from collapsing during the excavation process and create safe conditions for subsequent construction.

[0037] Jacking power: The jacking of the whole shield relies on the jacking force provided by the jacking picks at the rear of the frame bridge or the intermediate jacking picks; these jacking picks generate a strong thrust, which pushes the shield and frame bridge forward until they reach the design position and complete the entire jacking construction of the frame bridge.

[0038] The structure of this device combines a steel sub-shield and a reinforced concrete lattice (shield body). The reinforced concrete lattice, as the shield body, is integrally cast with the frame body, providing strong support and stability to meet the strict requirements for settlement control in railway turnout areas. In this process, the supporting splicing components (including the structure composed of components such as the base frame 1, U-shaped steel 2, and top frame 5), the base plate 61, the lower guide beam 62, the main lower beam 64, the guide beam column 63, the main beam column 66, the main upper beam 67, and the shield top plate 69 work together. The supporting splicing components, through components such as the base frame 1, U-shaped steel 2, top frame 5, and fasteners 8, achieve stable support and connection, providing a stable foundation for the superstructure. The lower guide beam 62, the main lower beam 64, the guide beam column 63, and the main beam column 66 further enhance the stability of the structure, ensuring effective support for the load transmitted from the shield top plate 69.

[0039] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, install the support splicing assembly, place the base frame 1 in the predetermined position to ensure stable support; then, install the U-shaped steel 2 on the top of the base frame 1, and connect the fasteners 8 to the U-shaped steel 2 and the base frame 1 respectively with bolts to firmly fix the U-shaped steel 2 to the base frame 1; next, install the top frame 5 on the top of the U-shaped steel 2, and connect another fastener 8 to the U-shaped steel 2 and the top frame 5 with bolts to complete the installation of the support splicing assembly; during the installation process, install the fastening seat 31 on the inner side of the U-shaped steel 2, and use bolts to pass through the fastening holes 310 on the inner side of the fastening seat 31 to achieve a stable splicing between the fastening seat 31 and the U-shaped steel 2, and install the rib plate 3 to enhance the strength of the fastening seat 31; at the same time, install multiple connecting rods 4 on the base frame 1 and the rib plate 3, and use fastening ears 41 with rivets to achieve a stable installation of the connecting rods 4, further increasing the strength of the support splicing assembly;

[0040] A base plate 61 is installed on the supporting splicing assembly. Then, a lower guide beam 62 and symmetrically distributed main lower beams 64 are installed on top of the base plate 61. Next, guide beam columns 63 are installed on top of the symmetrically arranged lower guide beams 62, and main beam columns 66 are installed on top of the two main lower beams 64. After that, a sliding plate 70 is installed on top of the two guide beam columns 63, and a main upper beam 67 is installed on top of the two main beam columns 66. Finally, a shield top plate 69 is installed on top of the two main upper beams 67. During the installation process, a first main beam tie beam 65 and a second main beam tie beam 68 are installed as needed. The first main beam tie beam 65 is located between the two main lower beams 64 and is detachably connected to the base plate 61. The second main beam tie beam 68 is located between the two main upper beams 67 and is detachably connected to the shield top plate 69.

[0041] The sub-shield cutting edge 72 is fixed to the sliding frame 71 with multiple bolts; multiple fastening blocks 73 are installed at the bottom of the sliding frame 71 with screws, and fastening grooves 730 are opened on the front surface of the fastening blocks 73. Rollers 74 are installed on the fastening grooves 730 to increase the ease of movement of the sliding frame 71; then the sliding frame 71 with the sub-shield cutting edge 72 installed is installed on the output end of the drive component at the top of the slide plate 70.

[0042] The drive unit is activated, and the sliding frame 71 and the sub-shield cutting foot 72 are moved by hydraulic cylinders or jacks. The sub-shield cutting foot 72 cuts the rock and soil. Since the jacking of the entire shield relies on the jacking force provided by the jacking pick at the rear of the frame bridge or the intermediate jacking pick, the shield body and the frame bridge move forward as a whole under the action of the jacking pick. During the advancement, the sub-shield at the front end of the shield body plays an advanced support role, and the stable slope formed at the excavation face maintains the earth pressure balance system. As the shield body advances, it continuously cuts the rock and soil in front until it reaches the design position, completing the entire jacking construction of the frame bridge.

[0043] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail above, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
