Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of caisson backfilling technology, and in particular relates to a caisson land-based propulsion backfilling device. Background Technology
[0002] In the construction of caissons for large-scale hydraulic engineering projects, caisson backfilling is a crucial step in ensuring structural stability. In some projects with high backfilling quality requirements, the design stipulates that the height difference of the backfilled stone material in each compartment should not exceed 1 meter. Currently, caisson backfilling mostly adopts the traditional net hoisting method, which requires a floating crane to lift the net and put the material into the compartment. The backfilling of a single caisson takes about 8 days, resulting in low construction efficiency.
[0003] This method has significant technical problems: First, it relies on large equipment such as floating cranes and crawler cranes, and requires the cooperation of multiple vessels, resulting in large equipment investment and high costs; second, the net hoisting method is prone to rockfall risks, and personnel hooking operations pose safety hazards; third, it is difficult to accurately control the backfilling height of each compartment, which can easily lead to excessive height differences; fourth, there are many exposed steel bars on the top of the caisson, which requires strict processing precision, and each caisson backfilling requires floating crane lifting, further increasing the construction complexity and schedule pressure, and restricting the project progress and safety.

[0035] See appendix Figures 1 to 4 This paper presents an illustrative embodiment of the caisson land-based propulsion and backfilling device proposed in this utility model. The caisson land-based propulsion and backfilling device includes a first frame 11, a second frame 12, a platform panel 13, a vehicle stop 2, a feeding port 3, and a cover plate 4.
[0036] The first frame 11 is composed of several I-beams arranged longitudinally at intervals and fixedly connected to each other, forming the bottom load-bearing structure of the device and providing longitudinal support stiffness for the whole. The second frame 12 is composed of several I-beams arranged transversely at intervals and fixedly connected to each other. The second frame 12 is located on top of the first frame 11 and fixedly connected to the first frame 11, forming a crisscrossing grid-like load-bearing system with the first frame 11, enhancing the overall structural stability.
[0037] Platform panel 13 is laid on top of second frame 12 and fixedly connected to second frame 12. Platform panel 13, second frame 12 and first frame 11 are fixedly connected in sequence to form working platform 1 for transport vehicles. Platform panel 13 is made of 16mm thick steel plate. The platform surface of working platform 1 is flat and has a strong load-bearing capacity, which can directly meet the needs of transport vehicles for driving, unloading and other operations, without the need to build a temporary working surface.
[0038] The vehicle stop 2 is fixedly installed along the perimeter of the work platform 1. The vehicle stop 2 includes several U-shaped steel pipes spaced apart along the perimeter of the work platform 1. The lower ends of the two vertical sides of each U-shaped steel pipe are welded and fixed to the work platform 1. The top ends of the two vertical sides of each U-shaped steel pipe are connected by an arc-shaped transition section with a radius of R150, so that the vehicle stop 2 is higher than the surface of the work platform 1, which can effectively prevent transport vehicles from accidentally sliding off the platform and improve operational safety. In this embodiment, the U-shaped steel pipes are made of bent ø457 steel pipes.
[0039] The feeding port 3 is vertically oriented, penetrating the platform panel 13, the second frame 12, and the first frame 11. The positions of the feeding ports 3 correspond one-to-one with the compartments 71 of the caisson 7, ensuring that the stones can fall directly into the target compartment 71 during unloading, avoiding deviation. The cover plate 4 is adapted to the feeding port 3. One side of the cover plate 4 is hinged to the edge of the platform panel 13 near the feeding port 3. The cover plate 4 is made of steel plate, with anti-slip textures on its upper surface and a handle. The handle is made of round steel and welded to the cover plate 4, facilitating the opening and closing of the feeding port 3 and preventing slippage during operation, thus improving operational safety.
[0040] The caisson land-based propulsion and backfilling device also includes several support legs 5. Each support leg 5 is located at the bottom of the working platform 1, and the top of each support leg 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first frame 11. The bottom of each support leg 5 supports the top of the caisson 7, providing stable support for the working platform 1 and ensuring the overall stability of the platform when carrying transport vehicles. The arrangement of the support legs 5 ensures that the working platform 1 has a set elevation after installation. This elevation design ensures that the device will not be submerged during high tide and can operate 24 hours a day.
[0041] A cross-bracing assembly 6 is provided between two adjacent support legs 5. The cross-bracing assembly 6 includes a first cross-bracing 61 and a second cross-bracing 62. The two ends of the first cross-bracing 61 are fixedly connected to the top of one support leg 5 and the bottom of the other support leg 5, respectively. The two ends of the second cross-bracing 62 are fixedly connected to the top of the other support leg 5 and the bottom of one support leg 5, respectively. In this embodiment, the cross-bracing rod is ø152×5. The cross-bracing structure further enhances the lateral displacement resistance of the support legs 5 and improves the structural reliability of the device under heavy load conditions.
[0042] In addition, the outer surfaces of the work platform 1, the stop 2, the cover plate 4, and the support leg 5 are all provided with an anti-rust layer, which includes epoxy zinc-rich primer and chlorinated rubber topcoat, which can effectively resist corrosive factors such as water vapor and salt in the working environment and extend the service life of the device.
[0043] The main beams of the first frame 11 are made of double-span 45a I-beams, and the secondary beams of the second frame 12 are made of 28a I-beams. Through reasonable selection, the frame structure is ensured to have sufficient strength and rigidity to meet the load requirements of transport vehicles and backfill materials.
[0044] Traditional caisson backfilling uses a netting method, requiring floating cranes for lifting. This method also results in numerous exposed steel bars at the top of the caisson, high precision requirements, low backfilling rates, difficulty in controlling the height difference between compartment stones, and inadequate protection of the partition walls. In the illustrative embodiment described above, the caisson land-based propulsion backfilling device significantly improves efficiency, doubling the efficiency of traditional methods. It reduces the need for ships and crawler cranes, avoids secondary handling, and saves on lifting and personnel costs. Simultaneously, it reduces equipment and personnel input, avoids risks such as falling rocks and personnel hooking, improves inherent safety, and allows for precise control of the backfilling height of each compartment, meeting design and specification requirements.
[0045] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 3 The working process of one embodiment of the caisson land-based propulsion and backfilling device of this utility model will be described:
[0046] During installation, the bottom of the support leg 5 is placed at the top of the caisson 7 at a preset position, so that the working platform 1 formed by the first frame 11, the second frame 12 and the platform panel 13 are stacked in sequence is in a horizontal and stable state. The diagonal brace assembly 6 further strengthens the overall structure of the support leg 5 through the cross connection of the first diagonal brace 61 and the second diagonal brace 62.
[0047] During backfilling operations, transport vehicles can drive directly onto the work platform 1. The vehicle stop 2 forms a barrier along the perimeter of the platform to prevent vehicles from accidentally driving off the platform. The operator opens the feeding port 3 of the corresponding compartment 71 through the handle on the cover plate 4 (the other feeding ports 3 remain closed), and the transport vehicle unloads the stone directly into the target compartment 71 of the caisson 7 through the opened feeding port 3.
[0048] After completing the phased backfilling of one compartment 71, the operator closes the cover plate 4 and then opens the cover plate 4 of the next corresponding compartment 71 to unload the material. By opening and closing the cover plates 4 of different feeding ports 3 in sequence, uniform backfilling of each compartment 71 is achieved, and the height difference of the stone in each compartment 71 is effectively controlled.
[0049] During operation, the anti-slip texture on the cover plate 4 prevents operators from slipping during opening or closing, the platform panel 13 provides a flat working surface to ensure smooth vehicle operation, the anti-rust layer protects all components from corrosion, and the frame structure composed of double-beam I-beam main beams and I-beam secondary beams stably bears the overall load.
[0050] Through the above process, this device does not need to rely on large lifting equipment such as floating cranes for transfer. It can directly use the working platform 1 to enable transport vehicles to reach the work surface, reducing equipment investment and secondary handling. By orderly controlling the opening and closing of the feeding port 3, the backfilling status of the compartment 71 can be precisely controlled, reducing the risk of falling rocks and personnel safety, and ensuring that the operation meets the design and specification requirements.
[0051] Finally, it should be noted that the various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.
[0052] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the specific implementation of this utility model or equivalent substitutions can be made to some technical features without departing from the spirit of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the technical solution claimed by this utility model.
