Description

Technical Field The present invention relates to the technical field of shield tunnel construction and reinforcement, and more particularly to an articulated prestressing tensioning device for shield tunnels and a reinforcement method thereof. Background Art In the field of shield tunnel construction and reinforcement, the prestressing reinforcement method is an important means to improve the structural performance of tunnel segments. Currently, there are mainly two technical routes: prestressed supports and external prestressing tensioning devices. Among them, prestressed supports enhance the rigidity of the segments by applying prestress, but their large volume and weight occupy construction space, and their operational convenience is greatly limited, especially under the limited construction conditions inside the tunnel. In addition, prestressed supports usually cause a certain degree of interference to subsequent water and electricity construction, thereby affecting project efficiency and construction progress. In contrast, external prestressing tensioning devices mostly adopt the post-tensioning method to apply prestress, which transmits the prestress to the structure through subsequent tensioning operations to achieve the purpose of reinforcement. However, in the narrow and smooth annular structure of shield tunnels, external prestressing tensioning devices are inconvenient to construct on the upper part of the annulus where manual climbing is difficult, and it is difficult to adapt to the construction requirements of different tunnel diameters and manhole angles, resulting in low applicability. For example, the prestressed support technology disclosed in invention patent CN114263485B can effectively improve the rigidity of tunnel segments, but it requires the arrangement of multiple steel supports, occupying a large amount of space, limiting the scope of construction operations, and adversely affecting subsequent construction links such as the layout of water and electricity systems. The limitations of using such devices are particularly prominent inside narrow shield tunnels. As another example, invention patent CN119145877A discloses an external bolt prestressing tensioning device suitable for tunnel segment joints. This device adopts the post-tensioning method to apply prestress, but its convenience is poor when constructing in areas such as the upper part of the annulus where manual operation is difficult. In addition, this device adopts an integrated molding design and cannot be adjusted to adapt to the manhole angles of tunnels with different diameters, thereby limiting its application in various scenarios. Therefore, how to provide an articulated prestressing tensioning device for shield tunnels and a reinforcement method thereof that is suitable for areas where manual operation is inconvenient, thereby significantly improving construction efficiency and equipment versatility, is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention In view of this, the present invention provides an articulated prestressing tensioning device for shield tunnels and a reinforcement method thereof, aiming to solve one of the problems in the above background art, which is suitable for areas where manual operation is inconvenient, thereby significantly improving construction efficiency and equipment versatility.
