Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tunnel construction, specifically to a slipform device for the invert arch of an open-cut tunnel. Background Technology

[0002] The cut-and-cover method refers to an underground engineering construction method in which the ground is first excavated, the lining is constructed in the open, and then the ground is covered and backfilled. It is mostly used for shallow tunnels. The cut-and-cover method is the most basic and commonly used construction method in soft soil underground engineering. The invert arch is a reverse arch structure set at the bottom of the tunnel to improve the stress conditions of the superstructure. It is one of the main components of the tunnel structure. On the one hand, it effectively transfers the ground pressure above the tunnel to the underground through the tunnel sidewall structure or the load on the road surface, and on the other hand, it effectively resists the reaction force from the strata below the tunnel. The invert arch and the secondary lining form the whole of the tunnel, increasing the structural stability.

[0003] Slipform construction is a construction technique in cast-in-place concrete engineering. During slipform construction, the formwork is assembled in one go, with an operating platform for construction workers on it. The formwork is simultaneously lifted and slid along the surface of the cast-in-place concrete while concrete is being poured, using hydraulic or other lifting devices from bottom to top. Compared with conventional construction methods, this technique offers advantages such as faster construction speed, better overall structural performance, higher degree of mechanization, savings in materials and labor required for formwork and scaffolding, easier disassembly and flexible assembly of the formwork, and reusability. Combining slipform with other construction techniques (such as prefabrication, masonry, or other formwork methods) can simplify construction processes and achieve better overall economic benefits.

[0004] Traditional slipform installations for cut-and-cover tunnel inverts require a long waiting period after concrete is poured between the central formwork and the tunnel wall before the formwork can be moved. This waiting time is not conducive to efficient construction. Furthermore, after pouring concrete for one section, the formwork needs to be moved with significant displacement to align it with the edge of the solidified concrete before pouring more concrete. This repeated and cumbersome movement of the formwork is not conducive to high-precision and efficient construction.

[0005] In view of this, we propose a slipform device for the invert arch of open-cut tunnels in order to solve the problems existing in the existing devices. Utility Model Content

To achieve the above objective, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a slipform device for the invert arch of an open-cut tunnel, including a span beam, a drive mechanism for driving the device to move is provided at the bottom of the span beam, and a support mechanism for supporting the movement of the slipform and a mold moving mechanism for moving the mold are also provided on the span beam.

[0007] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a transmission rod, a drive motor, and guide wheels.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages.

[0016] In this invention, swing plates are set on both sides of the central template, and left and right wing cylinders are set on the two swing plates respectively. The left wing template is set on the left wing cylinder and the right wing template is set on the right wing cylinder.

[0017] In this invention, a bottom support plate, a propulsion cylinder, a guide roller frame, and a guide roller assembly are installed below the horizontal hanging plate. The propulsion cylinder pushes the swing plate to tilt and swing, which can adjust the position of the left and right wing templates. The left and right wing cylinders can also be used to adjust their height, which helps to adjust according to construction needs.

Concrete can continue to be poured into the sealed cavity along the upper edge of the left and right wing templates. With this construction method, large-area pouring can be carried out without repeatedly swinging the middle template, and the waiting time is short, which is conducive to efficient and high-precision construction.

The formwork shifting mechanism is provided on the support mechanism and is used to advance and adjust the distance between the left wing formwork 11 and the right wing formwork 13 and the middle formwork 8, so as to facilitate the pouring of concrete into the sealed cavity formed in the middle.

[0027] In this embodiment, the formwork moving mechanism includes a central cylinder 7, a central template 8, a left wing cylinder 10, a left wing template 11, a right wing cylinder 12, and a right wing template 13. The central cylinder 7 is fixed at the bottom center of the transverse hanging plate 6, and the central template 8 is fixed at the extended end of the central cylinder 7.

The central template 8, the left wing template 11, and the right wing template 13 are all located diagonally above the front side of the span beam 1, which facilitates the adjustment of the concrete pouring position according to the needs.

[0032] In this embodiment, a control console 20 is also provided on the horizontal hanging plate 6 for controlling the operation of the device.

[0033] This utility model and its advantages: Guide rails are laid on both sides of the excavated tunnel. The open-cut tunnel invert arch sliding formwork device is set up on the guide rails. The two guide rail wheels 4 on the right side are placed on the right guide rail, and the two guide rail wheels 4 on the left side are placed on the left guide rail. Then, the control console 20 is connected to the drive motor 3, the central cylinder 7, the left wing cylinder 10, the right wing cylinder 12, and the two propulsion cylinders 15. The control console 20 is then connected to a power source to operate the device. Then, the drive motor 3 is turned on, causing the guide rail wheels 4 to roll along the guide rail, thus driving the device forward to the concrete pouring area. Then, as... Figure 2 As shown, the left and right side propulsion cylinders 15 are activated, extending them and pushing the swing plate 9 outwards. The left swing plate 9, along with the left wing cylinder 10 and the left wing template 11, tilts to the left, while the right swing plate 9, along with the right wing cylinder 12 and the right wing template 13, tilts to the right, thus moving the left wing template 11 and the right wing template 13 away from the central template 8. Then, the central cylinder 7 is extended, lowering the central template 8 to form a concrete pouring cavity between it and the tunnel wall. Concrete can then be poured into the cavity from both ends of the central template 8. After the concrete pouring in the middle of the tunnel is completed, as shown... Figure 1 As shown, the left wing template 11 and the right wing template 13 are respectively attached to the two ends of the middle template 8. Concrete can then be poured into the cavity from the top openings of the left wing template 11 and the right wing template 13 without having to adjust the tunnel pouring position by swinging the middle template 8 left and right. After pouring is completed, the middle cylinder 7, the left wing cylinder 10 and the right wing cylinder 12 are retracted at once to separate the template from the concrete. Then the device is activated to move forward. This construction method can be used to pour large areas without swinging the middle template 8 multiple times, and the waiting time is short, which is conducive to efficient and high-precision construction.
