[0017] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-2 This application will be described in further detail.
[0018] This application discloses a retaining device for the segment assembly area of a subway shield tunnel.
[0019] Reference Figure 1-2 The retaining device used in the segment assembly area of a subway shield tunnel includes a retaining plate 2. The retaining plate 2 is set inside the segment 1 and covers the joint between two adjacent segments 1. The outer arc surface of the retaining plate 2 fits into the inner arc surface of the segment 1. Multiple retaining plates 2 are set along the circumference of the tunnel. One retaining plate 2 is set between each two adjacent segments 1. The retaining plate 2 is connected to the segment 1 by a connector, and two adjacent retaining plates 2 are connected by a snap-fit connector.
[0020] The connector includes connecting rods 3, which are fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the retaining plate 2. The connecting rods 3 are positioned near both radial ends of the retaining plate 2, with two connecting rods 3 arranged symmetrically. Connecting grooves 31 are formed on the inner wall of the segment 1 for the connecting rods 3 to pass through. The connecting grooves 31 penetrate both axial sides of the segment 1, and each connecting groove corresponds to one connecting rod 3. The connecting rod 3 has a dovetail-shaped cross-section, and the shape of the connecting groove 31 matches the shape of the connecting rod 3, improving the connection stability between the retaining plate 2 and the segment 1.
[0021] The snap-fit component includes a snap-fit rod 4, which is fixedly mounted on the side wall of one radial side of the retaining plate 2. A snap-fit groove 41 is provided on the other radial side of the retaining plate 2 for the snap-fit rod 4 to pass through. A connecting groove 31 penetrates both axial sides of the retaining plate 2. The snap-fit rod 4 passes into the snap-fit groove 41 of an adjacent retaining plate 2. The snap-fit rod 4 is trapezoidal in shape with rounded corners. The shape of the snap-fit groove 41 matches the shape of the snap-fit rod 4, improving the connection stability between the retaining plates 2.
[0022] A sealing groove 5 is provided on the side wall of the snap-fit rod 4, and a sealing strip 51 is provided in the sealing groove 5. The sealing strip 51 is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the snap-fit groove 41 to improve the sealing between the retaining plates 2, thereby improving the sealing between the retaining plates 2 and the segments 1, and can effectively prevent the mud from leaking into the shield tail from the gap between the two segments 1 during assembly.
[0023] The inner wall of the retaining plate 2 is provided with handles 6 for easy gripping and moving the retaining plate 2. The handles 6 are located in the middle of the axial and radial directions of each retaining plate 2, which improves the uniformity of force on the retaining plate 2.
[0024] The implementation principle of a retaining device for a segment assembly area in a subway shield tunnel according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: When temporarily installing the retaining device in the assembly area, first install the bottom retaining plate 2, so that the connecting rod 3 passes through the connecting groove 31, then assemble the retaining plates 2 on both sides, and then assemble the top retaining plate 2, so that the corresponding connecting rod 3 and clamping rod 4 pass through the corresponding connecting groove 31 and clamping groove 41, so that the lower retaining plate 2 can improve the support of the upper retaining plate 2. Finally, when it is necessary to fix the assembled segment 1 by welding or other processes to fix two adjacent segments 1, the retaining plate 2 is removed or directly moved to the segment 1 in the next assembly process.
[0025] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
