Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tunnel segment production technology, and more specifically, it relates to a water curing tank for tunnel segment processing. Background Technology

[0002] Tunnel boring machine (TBM) segments are the main assembly components in TBM construction. They form the innermost barrier of the tunnel, resisting soil pressure, groundwater pressure, and other special loads. The production of TBM segments involves key steps such as mold preparation, reinforcement cage installation, concrete pouring, and post-construction curing. During the curing phase, the demolded segments are placed in a water-curing tank for at least one week to achieve the required strength and durability.

[0003] In practice, truss lifting equipment is usually used to transfer tunnel segments from the production line or storage area to the curing tank. However, the existing curing tank structure is relatively simple and lacks an effective monitoring mechanism for the placement process of the tunnel segments. In order to improve space utilization, the placement density of the tunnel segments in the curing tank is often high. If the tunnel segments deviate during the lowering process, it may disrupt the reasonable gap between adjacent placed tunnel segments or even cause collisions, affecting the uniformity and effect of curing. Given that the curing tank usually occupies a large area, it is difficult for staff to monitor the placement status of each tunnel segment in real time. This may result in the deviation or damage of the tunnel segments not being detected in time and continuing to participate in the curing process, ultimately affecting the overall production efficiency and product quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a water curing tank for tunnel segment processing. Through the installation of detection components and positioning indicator lights, the segment placement process can be monitored in real time. If a segment is not properly placed, the positioning indicator light will show an abnormality, which makes it easy for operators to quickly identify the position of the segment and conduct inspections. This effectively prevents misaligned or damaged segments from continuing to participate in the water curing process, thereby improving overall production efficiency and product quality.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a water curing tank for shield tunnel segment processing, comprising a water curing tank, wherein a plurality of bases are arranged in parallel within the water curing tank, and a plurality of partitions are provided on each base. The partitions are evenly spaced along the length of the base, and two adjacent partitions form a placement space for accommodating the lower end of the tunnel segment. A sensing area is provided on the base at the placement space, and a detection component is provided in the sensing area. The detection component is used to detect whether the tunnel segment in the placement space is placed in place. A support frame is provided on one side of the placement space, and a positioning indicator light is provided on the support frame. The positioning indicator light is electrically connected to the detection component.

[0006] The present invention is further configured such that: the detection component includes a hollow opening on the base, a pressure sensor is disposed in the hollow opening, a load-bearing plate is disposed on the surface of the pressure sensor, the load-bearing plate protrudes from the top surface of the hollow opening, and the pressure sensor is electrically connected to the position indicator light.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that: the partition includes uprights disposed on both sides of the base, the top of the two uprights is provided with guide blocks, and both sides of the guide blocks are provided with guide slopes.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the partition also includes a connecting rod disposed between the two uprights.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that a diagonal brace is provided between the upright and the base.

[0010] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] The system utilizes detection components and positioning indicator lights to monitor the segment placement process in real time. If a segment is not properly positioned, the positioning indicator light will show an abnormality, allowing operators to quickly identify and inspect the segment's location. This effectively prevents misaligned or damaged segments from continuing to participate in the water curing process, thereby improving overall production efficiency and product quality.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0019] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Reference Figures 1-3 A water curing tank for tunnel boring machine (TBM) segment processing includes a water curing tank 1. Several bases 2 are fixedly arranged in parallel within the water curing tank 1. Several partitions 3 are fixedly arranged on each base 2. The partitions 3 are evenly spaced along the length of the base 2. Two adjacent partitions 3 form a placement space for accommodating the lower end of the tunnel segment. A sensing area is provided at the placement space of the base 2. A detection component 4 is fixedly installed in the sensing area. The detection component 4 is used to detect whether the tunnel segment in the placement space is in place. A support frame 5 is fixedly arranged on one side of the placement space. A positioning indicator light 6 is fixedly installed on the support frame 5. The positioning indicator light 6 is electrically connected to the detection component 4.

[0021] Additionally, the detection component 4 includes a cutout in the base 2, in which a pressure sensor 41 is fixedly installed. A load-bearing plate 42 is fixedly provided on the surface of the pressure sensor 41, and the load-bearing plate 42 protrudes from the top surface of the cutout. The pressure sensor 41 is electrically connected to the position indicator light 6.

[0022] When the segments are placed on the load-bearing plate 42, their weight is transmitted to the pressure sensor 41 through the load-bearing plate 42. The load-bearing plate 42 also protects the pressure sensor 41 from direct impact and extends its service life.

[0023] The partition 3 includes uprights 31 fixedly installed on both sides of the base 2. Guide blocks 32 are fixedly installed on the top of the two uprights 31, and guide ramps 33 are provided on both sides of the guide blocks 32.

[0024] The guide block 32 and the guide ramps 33 on both sides can guide the position of the tunnel segment to a certain extent during the lowering process, so that the tunnel segment can fall smoothly and accurately into the placement space, thereby enhancing the accuracy and stability of the tunnel segment placement.

[0025] The partition 3 also includes a connecting rod 34 fixed between the two uprights 31. The connecting rod 34 enhances the overall structural stability of the partition 3.

[0026] A diagonal brace 7 is provided between the upright 31 and the base 2. The diagonal brace 7 is used to enhance the connection strength between the upright 31 and the base 2.

[0027] Working principle: When the hydroponic tank 1 is in use, when the tube segment is correctly placed in the placement space by the lifting device, its weight will act on the detection component 4 on the base 2. The detection component 4 will then sense this pressure change and transmit the information to the positioning indicator 6 in the form of an electrical signal. After receiving the signal, the positioning indicator 6 will light up or display a preset color to indicate that the tube segment has been successfully and correctly placed in place. Therefore, when the tube segment is not properly placed in place, the positioning indicator 6 will not light up or display the preset color to indicate the position, which makes it easy for operators to quickly identify the position of the tube segment and check it. This effectively prevents the tube segment from being misaligned or damaged from continuing to participate in the hydroponic process, thereby improving the overall production efficiency and product quality.

[0028] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
