Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of grouting simulation test behind shield tunnel walls, specifically relating to a simulation device for simulating grouting at the tail of shield tunnels. Background Technology

[0002] During shield tunnel construction, after the shield tail detaches, a gap exists between the shield segments (a cylindrical segment composed of multiple arc-shaped segments connected together, hereinafter referred to as segments) and the ground, known as the shield tail gap. To maintain the stability between the segments and the ground, grouting is generally used to reinforce the shield tail gap. Grouting needs to reach a certain pressure to achieve a good reinforcement effect; if the grouting pressure is too low, the ground will lack effective support and collapse; if the grouting pressure is too high, the ground will heave.

[0003] When grouting is used to reinforce the shield tail gap, the grout pressure gradually dissipates during the solidification process. During this process, the supporting effect of the gradually solidifying grout within the shield tail gap on the formation weakens due to the decreasing pressure. Therefore, understanding the impact of grouting pressure and the grout pressure dissipation process on the formation is directly related to project safety.

[0004] Due to the complexity of the grouting process, achieving grouting pressure control and its dissipation simulation in indoor experiments is extremely difficult. For example, the utility model patent with patent number "ZL 202110965403.X" and titled "A Combined Shield Tunnel Backwall Grouting Simulation Device and Test Method" employs a highly scalable modular device and test method. Replacing only some components can meet the needs of different working conditions, making it not only environmentally friendly but also significantly reducing preparation time and investment. However, this utility model is not only structurally complex but can only simulate the grouting pressurization process, not the pressure dissipation process. Therefore, it cannot simulate the impact of pressure dissipation during grout solidification on the strata and the stress deformation of the tunnel segments, making it difficult to meet application requirements. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a simulation device for simulating the tail grouting of a shield tunnel, which can simulate the effects of the grouting pressurization process and the pressure dissipation process on the strata and the stress deformation of the tunnel segments in order to solve the above problems.

[0006] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A simulation device for simulating tail grouting in a shield tunnel includes a test chamber and a loading plate, jacks, test segments, and soil placed inside the test chamber. The lower ends of the telescopic rods of multiple jacks, installed on the upper inner wall of the test chamber, are connected to the transverse loading plate. The soil is located below the loading plate, and the transverse test segments are placed within the soil. The simulation device also includes a support cylinder, an air bladder, air pipes, an air compressor, a first strain gauge, a second strain gauge, a pressure gauge, and a displacement gauge. Both ends of the transverse support cylinder are connected to the test chamber. The test tube segments are connected to the opposite side walls of the test tube segments and located within the soil. The test tube segments are placed within the support cylinder and are axially aligned. The support cylinder has an annular hole that extends radially inward and outward near one end of the test tube segment. The air bladder is placed within the annular hole and is located both outside the test tube segment and within the soil. The air bladder is connected to the air compressor via an air pipe. The test tube segment has a first strain gauge on its inner wall corresponding to the air bladder and a second strain gauge on its outer wall. The pressure gauge is located on the outer wall of the air bladder, and the displacement gauge is located on the inner wall of the test tube segment.

[0008] Preferably, to facilitate the installation of the air pipe and its connection to the air compressor, the air pipe includes a transverse air pipe and a radial air pipe connected to each other. One end of the transverse air pipe is connected to the outlet of the air compressor located outside the test chamber. A pressure regulating valve and a pressure gauge are sequentially installed on the transverse air pipe near the air compressor. The other end of the transverse air pipe is placed in the central through hole of the test tube and connected to one end of the radial air pipe. The other end of the radial air pipe passes through the corresponding through hole on the test tube and is connected to the air bag.

[0009] Preferably, in order to facilitate accurate simulation of grouting and pressure dissipation at different circumferential positions outside the test segment, and to meet the construction objectives such as posture correction by adjusting the grouting pressure at different positions in the project, multiple airbags are evenly distributed circumferentially within the annular hole. One end of each of the multiple transverse air pipes is connected to the outlet of the air compressor, and the other end of each of the multiple transverse air pipes is connected to one end of a corresponding multiple radial air pipe. The other end of each of the multiple radial air pipes is connected to a corresponding multiple airbag. Each transverse air pipe is equipped with a pressure regulating valve and a pressure gauge.

[0010] Specifically, there are eight airbags.

[0011] Preferably, in order to facilitate the measurement of pressure at different positions of the test tube segment and the pressure on the outer wall of different air bladders, there are multiple first strain gauges, multiple second strain gauges and multiple pressure gauges. Each second strain gauge and each pressure gauge is installed between two adjacent air bladders, and the multiple first strain gauges are radially corresponding to the multiple second strain gauges.

[0012] Preferably, in order to facilitate the measurement of displacement at different positions of the test tube segment, the displacement gauge is a differential displacement gauge and there are multiple displacement gauges, which are evenly distributed on the inner circumference of the test tube segment.

[0013] Preferably, to facilitate the installation of the support cylinder, the opposite side walls of the test chamber are respectively provided with through holes, and both ends of the support cylinder are fixedly connected to the walls of these through holes (e.g., by welding). A mounting bracket passes through the central through hole of the support cylinder and the central through hole of the test tube segment. Multiple displacement gauges are fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket, and the movable ends of the multiple displacement gauges are respectively mounted on the inner wall of the test tube segment. Depending on actual needs, the position of the support cylinder within the test chamber can also be connected to the inner wall or bottom of the test chamber via support strips to improve the installation stability of the support cylinder.

[0014] Preferably, in order to facilitate real-time monitoring of pressure and displacement signals, the signal output terminals of the first strain gauge, the second strain gauge, the pressure gauge, and the displacement gauge are respectively connected to the signal input terminal of the signal processor.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] This invention simulates the actual process of grouting and pressure dissipation within the shield tail gap by installing a support cylinder inside a test chamber, setting an annular hole on the support cylinder, and placing an airbag inside the annular hole. This allows the inner wall of the airbag to contact the outer wall of the test segment, while the outer wall of the airbag contacts the soil. The air pressure inside the airbag is controlled by an air compressor. By detecting the pressure on the inner and outer walls of the test segment, the pressure on the outer wall of the airbag, and the displacement of the test segment, the pressure changes and displacement changes of the test segment and airbag can be monitored in real time. This invention achieves the goal of simulating the impact of the grouting pressurization process and the pressure dissipation process on the strata and the stress deformation of the test segment using physical loading, thus better meeting application requirements and improving construction safety and reliability.

The soil 3 is located below the loading plate 2, and the transverse test segments 6 are placed inside the soil 3. The two ends of the transverse support cylinder 13 are respectively connected to the test chamber 1. The two opposite side walls of the test tube are connected and located inside the soil 3. The test tube 6 is placed inside the support cylinder 13 and is axially aligned. The support cylinder 13 has a radially penetrating annular hole (not marked in the figure) near one end of the test tube 6. The airbag 5 is placed inside the annular hole and is located both outside the test tube 6 and inside the soil 3. The airbag 5 is connected to the air compressor 16 through the air pipe 8. The inner wall of the test tube 6 corresponding to the airbag 5 is provided with a first strain gauge 12 and the outer wall is provided with a second strain gauge 11. The outer wall of the airbag 5 is provided with a pressure gauge 10 and the inner wall of the test tube 6 is provided with a displacement gauge 7.

[0023] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model also discloses the following more optimized specific structures:

[0024] To facilitate the installation of the air pipe 8 and its connection with the air compressor 16, the air pipe 8 includes a transverse air pipe 82 and a radial air pipe 81 connected to each other. One end of the transverse air pipe 82 is connected to the outlet of the air compressor 16 located outside the test chamber 1. A pressure regulating valve 15 and a pressure gauge 14 are installed on the transverse air pipe 82 near the air compressor 16. The other end of the transverse air pipe 82 is placed in the central through hole of the test tube 6 and is connected to one end of the radial air pipe 81. The other end of the radial air pipe 81 passes through the corresponding through hole on the test tube 6 and is connected to the air bag 5.

[0025] To facilitate accurate simulation of grouting and pressure dissipation at different circumferential positions outside the test segment 6, and to meet the construction objectives such as posture correction by adjusting the grouting pressure at different positions in the project, multiple airbags 5 are evenly distributed circumferentially within the annular hole. One end of multiple transverse air pipes 82 is connected to the outlet of the air compressor 16, and the other end of multiple transverse air pipes 82 is connected to one end of multiple corresponding radial air pipes 81. The other end of multiple radial air pipes 81 is connected to multiple corresponding airbags 5. Each transverse air pipe 82 is equipped with a pressure regulating valve 15 and a pressure gauge 14.

[0026] There are eight airbags 5.

[0027] To facilitate the measurement of pressure at different positions of the test tube segment 6 and the pressure on the outer wall of different airbags 5, multiple first strain gauges 12, second strain gauges 11 and pressure gauges 10 are used. Each second strain gauge 11 and each pressure gauge 10 is installed between two adjacent airbags 5, and multiple first strain gauges 12 are radially corresponding to multiple second strain gauges 11.

[0028] To facilitate the measurement of displacement at different positions of the test tube segment 6, multiple differential displacement gauges 7 are used, and the multiple displacement gauges 7 are evenly distributed on the inner circumference of the test tube segment 6.

[0029] To facilitate the installation of the support cylinder 13, the opposite side walls of the test chamber 1 are respectively provided with through holes, and both ends of the support cylinder 13 are fixedly connected to the walls of these through holes (e.g., by welding). The mounting bracket 9 (the specific structure and shape of the mounting bracket 9 are determined according to actual needs and are not specifically limited, as long as they meet the relevant matching functions with the support cylinder 13 and the displacement gauges 7, as well as the reliable positioning function) passes through the central through hole of the support cylinder 13 and the central through hole of the test tube 6. Multiple displacement gauges 7 are fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 9, and the movable ends of the multiple displacement gauges 7 are respectively mounted on the inner wall of the test tube 6. Depending on actual needs, the position of the support cylinder 13 within the test chamber 1 can also be connected to the inner wall or bottom of the test chamber 1 via support strips (not shown in the figure) to improve the installation stability of the support cylinder 13.

[0030] To facilitate real-time monitoring of pressure and displacement signals, the signal output terminals of the first strain gauge 12, the second strain gauge 11, the pressure gauge 10, and the displacement gauge 7 are respectively connected to the signal input terminals of a signal processor (not shown in the figure, but a conventional CPU, MCU, or computer can be used) located outside the test chamber 1 via wires.

[0031] like Figures 1-4As shown, during use, the air compressor 16 and signal processor are started. According to the grouting pressure required for a certain airbag 5, the pressure regulating valve 15 corresponding to that airbag 5 is adjusted and the corresponding pressure gauge 14 is observed to make the air pressure inside the airbag 5 reach the set value. Then the corresponding pressure regulating valve 15 is closed. The same operation is performed to complete the high-pressure gas injection of all airbags 5, thus simulating the external grouting process of the shield tail segment under actual working conditions. The output values ​​of the first strain gauge 12, the second strain gauge 11, the pressure gauge 10 and the displacement gauge 7 are recorded by the signal processor to obtain the pressure values ​​at each position of the inner wall of the test segment 6, the pressure values ​​at each position of the outer wall of the test segment 6 (which is also the inner wall of the airbag 5), the pressure values ​​at each position of the outer wall of the airbag 5 (which is also the corresponding position of the soil 3), and the displacement of the test segment 6. This simulates the influence of the grouting pressurization process on the strata and the stress deformation of the segment under actual working conditions.

[0032] Then, turn off the air compressor 16, disconnect the connection between the transverse air pipe 82 and the air compressor 16, adjust the pressure regulating valve 15 and observe the pressure gauge 14. According to actual needs, gradually exhaust each airbag 5 multiple times to simulate the pressure dissipation process during the grout solidification process in actual working conditions. Record the output values ​​of the first strain gauge 12, the second strain gauge 11, the pressure gauge 10 and the displacement gauge 7 one by one to simulate the impact of pressure dissipation on the formation and the stress deformation of the tunnel segments during the grout solidification process in actual working conditions. This will provide more and more comprehensive data for the shield tail gap grouting reinforcement construction, better meet application needs, and improve construction safety and reliability.

[0033] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the technical solutions of this utility model. Any technical solution that can be implemented based on the above embodiments without creative effort should be considered to fall within the scope of protection of this utility model patent.
