Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of foundation pit support technology, and more specifically, it relates to a prefabricated support structure for deep foundation pits. Background Technology
[0002] With urban construction expanding into underground spaces, deep foundation pit projects face challenges such as complex geological conditions, tight schedules, and stringent environmental requirements. Traditional support structures (such as cast-in-place concrete walls + steel supports) have significant shortcomings: long construction cycles (7-10 days for a single section of support), large material waste (cast-in-place formwork and welding consumables cannot be recycled), and poor adaptability (soft soil foundations are prone to settlement, leading to support tilting). Especially in areas with high groundwater levels and dense surrounding buildings, the risk of support instability increases significantly.
[0003] Traditional cast-in-place foundations cannot dynamically compensate for uneven settlement of the foundation, which can easily lead to tilting of the support structure. Welded / bolted connections require on-site positioning and adjustment, which is time-consuming and has poor accuracy. Conventional interlocking water sealing relies solely on rubber strips, which are prone to leakage under high water pressure conditions. Utility Model Content

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a prefabricated support structure for deep foundation pits, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 2. The connection between the spring and the locking block on the moving block facilitates the connection between the support plate and the steel section. The connection between the steel section and the support rod is achieved by extending the steel section into the limiting frame and connecting and fixing the steel section and the steel sheet pile through the cooperation between the limiting rod and the limiting hole, thereby improving the stability of the support structure.
[0019] 3. The main channel is filled with high-viscosity water-swellable rubber strips (expansion rate ≥300%), and the secondary channel is injected with quick-setting polyurethane foaming agent. The mixture is then pressurized and injected through the pre-reserved grouting holes at the top of the pile to form a physical and chemical double water-stopping barrier, which improves the waterproof sealing performance of the steel sheet pile.

A symmetrical snap-fit groove 11 is provided, and a snap-fit spring 12 and a snap-fit block 13 are provided on the snap-fit groove 11. The bottom of the snap-fit groove 11 is connected to the snap-fit block 13 through the snap-fit spring 12. A limiting block 21 that cooperates with the section steel 6 is provided on the leveling steel plate 5. A positioning block 22 that cooperates with the steel sheet pile 1 is provided on the leveling steel plate 5. A main channel 23 is opened at the locking port of the steel sheet pile 1. A water-swellable rubber strip 24 is provided on the main channel 23. A secondary channel 25 is provided on both sides of the main channel 23. A quick-setting polyurethane foaming agent 26 is injected into the secondary channel 25.
[0030] In this embodiment, during use, the concrete base 2 is prefabricated in a prefabrication yard. A graded sand and gravel cushion layer is laid at the bottom of the foundation pit, and the concrete base 2 is positioned and installed. Anchor rods 3 are inserted into the graded gravel and the bottom of the foundation pit to fix the position of the concrete base 2. The leveling steel plate 5 is adjusted by hydraulic cylinder 4, and steel sections 6 are installed on the leveling steel plate 5. Steel sheet piles 1 are installed by limiting the positioning with the cooperation of positioning blocks 22. The steel sheet piles 1 are preferably Larssen steel sheet piles 1, which are connected by interlocking. The main channel 23 is filled with high-viscosity water-swellable rubber strips 24 with an expansion rate ≥300%, and the secondary channel 25 is injected with quick-setting polyurethane foam 26. The grouting is pressurized through the grouting holes reserved at the top of the pile to form a physical + chemical double water-stop barrier. The steel sections 6 on both sides of the foundation pit are supported by support rods 7 and support plates 8, thereby improving the stability of the foundation pit support.
[0031] Please see Figures 3-5 As one embodiment of the sheet pile 1, the steel section 6 and the support rod 7: the connecting rod 9 is provided with a moving groove 14 that cooperates with the moving block 10, the moving groove 14 is provided with a moving screw 15, the moving screw 15 is threadedly connected to the moving block 10, the sheet pile 1 is provided with a limiting frame 16, the limiting frame 16 is provided with a limiting rod 17, the steel section 6 is provided with a limiting hole 18, the limiting rod 17 is provided with a limiting plate 19, and a limiting spring 20 is provided between the limiting plate 19 and the limiting frame 16.
[0032] More specifically, when connecting the steel section 6 and the sheet pile 1, the limiting rod 17 is pulled outward. The limiting rod 17 pulls the limiting spring 20 through the limiting plate 19. After the steel section 6 extends into the limiting frame 16, the limiting rod 17 is released, so that the limiting rod 17 is aligned with the limiting hole 18, thereby connecting and fixing the position of the steel section 6 and the sheet pile 1. After aligning the support plate 8 of the support rod 7 with the connecting rod 9, the support plate 8 passes through the locking block 13 by squeezing the locking block 13 and the locking spring 12. Then, the locking block 13 extends under the elastic force of the locking spring 12. The moving screw 15 is rotated to adjust the position of the moving block 10, so that the bottom of the locking block 13 abuts against the support plate 8, thereby connecting the support rod 7 and the steel section 6 and improving the stability of the support structure.
[0033] In summary, during the use or operation of the overall equipment: The concrete base 2 is prefabricated in the prefabrication yard. A graded gravel cushion layer is laid at the bottom of the foundation pit. The concrete base 2 is then positioned and installed. Anchor bolts 3 are inserted into the graded gravel and the bottom of the foundation pit to fix the position of the concrete base 2. The leveling steel plate 5 is adjusted using hydraulic cylinder 4, and steel sections 6 are installed on the leveling steel plate 5. Steel sheet piles 1 are installed using positioning blocks 22 for positioning and limiting. Larssen steel sheet piles 1 are preferred. The Larssen steel sheet piles 1 are connected by interlocking clamps. The main channel 23 is filled with high-viscosity water-swellable rubber strips 24 with an expansion rate ≥300%. The secondary channel 25 is injected with quick-setting polyurethane foam 26. Grouting is performed through pre-reserved grouting holes at the pile top, forming a physical + chemical double water-stop barrier. Support rods 7 and support plates 8 support the steel sections 6 on both sides of the foundation pit, thereby improving the stability of the foundation pit support.
[0034] When connecting the steel section 6 and the sheet pile 1, the limiting rod 17 is pulled outward. The limiting rod 17 pulls the limiting spring 20 through the limiting plate 19. After the steel section 6 extends into the limiting frame 16, the limiting rod 17 is released, so that the limiting rod 17 is aligned with the limiting hole 18, thereby connecting and fixing the position of the steel section 6 and the sheet pile 1. After aligning the support plate 8 of the support rod 7 with the connecting rod 9, the support plate 8 passes through the locking block 13 by squeezing the locking block 13 and the locking spring 12. Then, the locking block 13 extends under the elastic force of the locking spring 12. The moving screw 15 is rotated to adjust the position of the moving block 10, so that the bottom of the locking block 13 abuts against the support plate 8, thereby connecting the support rod 7 and the steel section 6 and improving the stability of the support structure.
