Description

FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of immersed tube tunnel, in particular to a fireproof structure of a tube joint of an immersed tube tunnel with a linear moving mechanism.

BACKGROUND

[0002] In the construction of tunnel by immersed tube method, the joint between two adjacent tubes needs to be provided with waterproof components, such as rubber sealing strips, to prevent external moisture from penetrating into the tube through the joint. The waterproof components must meet the fireproof requirements within the design life (e.g. 120 years) in addition to the longitudinal stretching displacement of the tunnel tubes, so as to ensure the overall fireproof performance of the tunnel structure. If there is a fire in the tubes, the fire is bound to affect the service life of the waterproof components. Therefore, the current common practice is to set up a protection plate to meet the fireproof requirements of the waterproof components. However, the existing fireproof plate has the following problems of that the tests shows the existing fireproof design with only the fireproof plate meets the two-hour fireproof requirement. That is, the fire in the tubes will not affect the waterproof components within two hours, and the two-hour fireproof time limit cannot meet the effective fireproof requirement. At the same time, the two adjacent tubes need generate a longitudinal displacement, and the existing joint structure only provided with one fireproof plate cannot meet the displacement requirement.

[0025] Referring to Figs. 1 to 4, the present disclosure proposes a fireproof structure of a tube joint of an immersed tube tunnel with a linear moving mechanism.

[0026] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the tube joint of the immersed tube tunnel with the linear moving mechanism includes a waterproof tape assembly 10 and a fireproof assembly 30. The waterproof tape assembly 10 and the fireproof assembly 30 are connected between a first tube 40 of the immersed tube tunnel and a second tube 50 of the immersed tube tunnel adjacent to the immersed tube tunnel tube. The fireproof assembly 30 is separated from the waterproof tape assembly 10 and positioned at an inner side of the waterproof tape assembly 10. The fireproof assembly 30 includes:

a protection plate assembly 31, including a first fireproof plate assembly 311 and a second fireproof plate assembly 313 which are arranged at intervals, and

a heat insulation piece 312 fixedly connected between the first fireproof plate assembly 311 and the second fireproof plate assembly 313;

a movable connection assembly 33, including a first movable connection piece 331 fixed to the second tube 50 and abutted against a side of the first fireproof plate assembly 311 remote from the second fireproof plate assembly 313, and the first movable connection piece 331 having a first strip-shaped hole 3311; the movable connection assembly 33 further includes a first limiting column 334 which is convexly arranged on a surface of the first fireproof plate assembly 311 facing away from the second fireproof plate assembly 313 and passed through the first strip-shaped hole 3311; one end of the first fireproof plate assembly 311 remote from the second tube 50 is fixedly connected with the first tube 40; the movable connection assembly 33 further includes a second movable connection piece 333, one end of the second fireproof plate assembly 313 is fixedly connected with the first tube 40, and the other end of the second fireproof plate assembly 313 is movably connected with the second tube 50 through the second movable connection piece 333; and

a flexible fireproof belt 35 located between the first fireproof plate assembly 311 and the second fireproof plate assembly 313, and configured to connect the heat insulation piece 312 and the second tube 50.

[0027] In the technical scheme of the present disclosure, the waterproof tape assembly 10 is installed between adjacent first and second tubes 40 and 50 to prevent external moisture from entering the tubes. The first and second tubes 40 and 50 may be any two adjacent tubes. The fireproof assembly 30 is arranged on the inner side of the waterproof tape assembly 10, and can prevent the fire inside the tubes from affecting the waterproof tape assembly 10, thereby protecting the waterproof tape assembly 10. The fireproof assembly 30 is further arranged to include the first fireproof plate assembly 311, the heat insulation piece 312 and the second fireproof plate assembly 313. If a fire breaks out in the tubes, the fire can be blocked by the three-layer structure of the first fireproof plate assembly 311, the heat insulation piece 312 and the second fireproof plate assembly 313 gradually, so that the influence of the fire in the tubes on the waterproof tape assembly 10 is minimized. Tests show that the fireproof design described above can at least meet the four-hour fireproof requirement, that is, the fire in the tubes will not affect the waterproof tape assembly 10 within four hours, thus greatly improving the service life of the waterproof tape assembly 10.

[0028] One end of the first fireproof plate assembly 311 and one end of the second fireproof plate assembly 313 are both fixedly connected with the first tube 40, and the other ends of the first fireproof plate assembly 311 and the second fireproof plate assembly 313 are movably connected with the second tube 50 through the movable connection assembly 33. The movable connection assembly 33 includes a first movable connection 331 and a second movable connection 333, both of which have fireproof plate structures. Specifically, the first movable connection piece 331 is fixed to the second tube 50 and abutted against the side of the first fireproof plate assembly 311 away from the second fireproof plate assembly 313. The first movable connection piece 331 is provided with a first strip-shaped hole 3311. The surface of the first fireproof plate assembly 311 away from the second fireproof plate assembly 313 is convexly provided with a first limiting column 334 which is passed through the first strip-shaped hole 3311. The first limiting column 334 is configured to move relatively in the first strip-shaped hole 311, thereby changing the distance between the first tube 40 and the second tube 50 in the longitudinal direction. When the distance between the first tube 40 and the second tube 50 becomes larger in the longitudinal direction, the first tube 40 and the second tube 50 can still be blocked by the first movable connection piece 331, thus maintaining a good fireproof performance. The second fireproof plate assembly 313 is movably connected with the second tube 50 through the second movable connection piece 333, so that when the longitudinal distance between the first tube 40 and the second tube 50 becomes larger, the first tube 40 and the second tube 50 are further blocked by the second movable connection piece 333, thereby improving the fireproof performance of the tube joint.

[0029] It can be understood that the fixed connections between the first fireproof plate assembly 311 and the tube, and between the second fireproof plate assembly 313 and the tube can be achieved by bolts and fixed plates. The movable connections between the first fireproof plate assembly 311 and the tube, and between the second fireproof plate assembly 313 and the tube can be realized by providing a sliding slot at an end of the second tube 50, and ends of the first fireproof plate assembly 311 and the second fireproof plate assembly 313 are inserted into the sliding slot to slide. Of course, it can be understood that the first fireproof plate assembly 311 and the tube 50, and the second fireproof plate assembly 313 and the tube 50 can be connected in other ways, which are also within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0030] When there is a longitudinal movement between the first tube 40 and the second tube 50 through the movable connection assembly 33, the flexible fireproof belt 35 can expand accordingly, thereby further preventing the temperature from being transmitted from portions of the first fireproof plate assembly 311 and the second fireproof plate assembly 313 where the heat insulation piece 312 is not provided, and further improving the fireproof capability of the fireproof assembly 30.

[0031] The flexible fireproof belt 35 is made of asbestos, and will be installed in a precompressed manner during installation, i.e. at the same height, the density of asbestos is increased. So that the flexible fireproof belt 35 can longitudinally expand during the longitudinal displacement of the first tube 40 and the second tube 50, to meet the requirements of longitudinal displacement. The flexible fireproof belt 35 can cooperate with the movable connection assembly 33 to better insulate heat and prevent fire after expanding.

[0032] Referring to Fig. 3, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the movable connection assembly 33 further includes a stopper 332, which is abutted against the side of the first movable connection 331 facing away from the first fireproof plate assembly 311 and is fixedly connected to the first limiting column 334.

[0033] The stopper 332 has a fireproof plate structure, and the arrangement of the stopper 332 can not only improve the reliability of the joint between the first tube 40 and the second tube 50 in the moving process, but also further improve the fireproof capability of the first fireproof plate assembly 311.

[0034] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first fireproof plate assembly 311 is provided with a first connection hole, the stopper 332 is provided with a second connection hole, and the first limiting column 334 is passed through the first connection hole, the first strip-shaped hole 3311 and the second connection hole to fixedly connect the first fireproof plate assembly 311 and the stopper 332.

[0035] The first limiting column 334 may be a screw or a bolt. The first limiting column 334 is passed through the first connection hole, the first strip-shaped hole 3311 and the second connection hole, and is screwed to both ends of the limiting column by nuts. One nut is abutted against the side of the first fireproof plate assembly 311 facing away from the stopper 332, and the other nut is abutted against the side of the stopper 332 facing away from the first fireproof plate assembly 311, thereby fixing the stopper 332 and the first fireproof plate assembly 311. The first movable connection piece 331 is clamped between the first fireproof plate assembly 311 and the stopper 332. When there is a displacement between the first tube 40 and the second tube 50 in the longitudinal direction, the first movable connection piece 331 can move relative to the first fireproof plate assembly 311 and the stopper 332. The cooperation of the first limiting column 334 and the first strip-shaped hole 3311 can limit the range of relative movement of the first tube 40 and the second tube 50.

[0036] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first fireproof plate assembly 311 includes a fireproof plate 3111 and a fixed fireproof plate 3113, the fireproof plate 3111 is fixedly connected with the first tube 40, the fixed fireproof plate 3113 is positioned between the fireproof plate 3111 and the second tube 50, and the protection plate assembly 31 further includes a connection piece 36, the fireproof plate 3111, the fixed fireproof plate 3113, the heat insulation piece 312 and the second fireproof plate assembly 313 are fixedly connected with the connection piece 36; and
the first connection hole is formed in the fixed fireproof plate 3113.

[0037] The first fireproof plate assembly 311 is split into a structure in which the fireproof plate 3111 and the fixed fireproof plate 3113 are spliced, which is convenient for plate transportation and installation on the construction site.

[0038] The connection piece 36 may be a plurality of U-steel, a combination structure of U-steel and angle steel, or a connection structure formed of U-steel and other connection steels of various shapes. The connection piece 36 is mainly used for fixedly connecting the first fireproof plate assembly 311, the heat insulation piece 312 and the second fireproof plate assembly 313.

[0039] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the range value of the thickness H1 of the first fireproof plate assembly 311 is: 28.5 mm ≤ h1 ≤ 36 mm.

[0040] The first fireproof plate assembly 311 has a preliminary fireproof function. Therefore, the thickness should not be too thin. If the thickness is too thin, it is difficult to prevent fire. The thickness is set to be no less than 28.5mm, the above-mentioned fireproof function can be realized. Of course, the thickness of the first fireproof plate assembly 311 should not be too thick, which will affect the overall assembly of the tube. Therefore, the thickness of the first fireproof plate assembly 311 is set to be no more than 36mm.

[0041] The thickness of the fireproof plate 3111 and the fixed fireproof plate 3113 both ranges from 28.5mm to 36mm.

[0042] In order to facilitate transportation and assembly at the construction site, the fireproof plate 3111 includes three layers of fireproof composite plates 3111 a stacked on one another, the three layers of fireproof composite plates 3111 a are all fixedly connected with the connection piece 36, the fixed fireproof plate 3113 includes three layers of fixed fireproof composite plates 3113a stacked on one another, the three layers of fixed fireproof composite plates 3113a are all fixedly connected with the connection piece 36, the first connection hole is penetrated through the three layers of fixed fireproof composite plates 3113a, and one fireproof composite plate 3111a is butted with one fixed fireproof composite plate 3113a. The three fireproof composite plates 3111a and the three fixed fireproof composite plates 3113a can be assembled by self-tapping screws and such like, which are all within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0043] Further, the thickness of each fireproof composite plate 3111a of the fireproof plate 3111 is h1, 9.5mm≤h1≤12mm, and the thickness of the fixed fireproof composite plate 3113a is consistent with the thickness of the fireproof composite plate 3111a.

[0044] In order to achieve a better fireproof effect, the following settings can be adopted: in the three fireproof composite plates 3111a, the thicknesses of the steel plates from bottom to top gradually decrease, and the overall thickness of the three fireproof composite plates 3111a still needs to meet the requirements of 28.5 mm ≤ h1 ≤ 36 mm. Because the thickness of the bottom steel plate is thick enough, when a large fire is generated, the bottom steel plate the first to resist the fire and will not deform due to the large fire.

[0045] The fireproof composite plate is a composite steel plate, the inner layer is a cement core layer mixed with fibers, and the outer side is a perforated galvanized steel plate with a thickness of 0.5mm.

[0046] Referring to Fig. 4, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the second movable connection piece 333 is fixedly connected to the second tube 50 and abutted against the side of the second fireproof plate assembly 313 remote from the first fireproof plate assembly 311. The second movable connection piece 333 is provided with a second strip-shaped hole 3332. The movable connection assembly 33 further includes a second limiting column 335, which is convexly arranged on the side of the second fireproof plate assembly 313 remote from the first fireproof plate assembly 311 and passed through the second strip-shaped hole 3332. The end of the second limiting column 335 is abutted against the second movable connection piece 333 facing away from the second fireproof plate assembly

[0047] When there is a displacement between the first tube 40 and the second tube 50 in the longitudinal direction, the second limiting column 335 is configured to move in the second strip-shaped hole 3332 and to be stopped by the side wall of the second strip-shaped hole 3332, to limit the longitudinal movement range of the first tube 40 and the second tube 50. The cooperation of the second movable connection piece 333 and the first movable connection piece 331 makes the movement of the first tube 40 and the second tube 50 more stable during the displacement process.

[0048] With continued reference to Fig. 4, the second movable connection piece 333 further includes a hanger 3331 and a fireproof cover plate 3333, the hanger 3331 is fixedly connected with the second tube 50 and abutted against the side of the fireproof cover plate 3333 facing away from the second fireproof plate assembly 313, the second strip-shaped hole 3332 is penetrated through the hanger 3331 and the fireproof cover plate 3333, and the end of the second limiting column 335 is abutted against the side of the hanger 3331 facing away from the fireproof cover plate 3333.

[0049] The hanger 3331 is fixed to the second tube 50 to provide the connection bearing capacity. The fireproof cover 333 is located below the hanger 3331 and can provide fireproof for the hanger 3331 when the fire breaks out in the tubes.

[0050] Further, the hanger 3331 includes a first connection arm 3331a and a second connection arm 3331b forming an included angle with the first connection arm 3331a, the first connection arm 3331a is fixedly connected with the second tube 50, the second connection arm 3331b is fixedly connected with the fireproof cover plate 3333, and the second strip-shaped hole 3332 is penetrated through the second connection arm 3331b.

[0051] The first connection arm 3331a may be a steel square cylinder, and fixedly connected with the second tube 50 through an expansion screw. The second connection arm 3331b can be an inverted T-shaped steel member, and two second strip-shaped holes are penetrated through two lower wings of the T-shaped structure.

[0052] Further, the first connection arm 3331a and the second connection arm 3331b are perpendicular to each other. The installation requirement of the second fireproof plate assembly 313 and the second tube 50 is ensured.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a range of the thickness h2 of the second fireproof plate assembly 313 is 28.5 mm ≤ h2 ≤ 36 mm.

[0054] The second fireproof plate assembly 313 is located above the first fireproof plate assembly 311, and the second fireproof plate assembly 313 plays the role of final heat insulation. Therefore, the thickness of the second fireproof plate assembly 313 should not be too thin. If the thickness is too thin, it is difficult to achieve the purpose of temperature insulation. The above-mentioned purpose of temperature insulation can be achieved by setting the thickness to be no less than 28.5mm. Of course, the thickness of the second fireproof plate assembly 313 should not be too thick, which will affect the overall assembly of the tubes. Therefore, the thickness of the second fireproof plate assembly 313 is set to be no more than 36mm.

[0055] In order to facilitate transportation and assembly, the second fireproof plate assembly 313 includes three layers of fireproof composite plates which is stacked on one another and fixedly connected with each other, and the second limiting column 335 is convexly arranged on one fireproof composite plate adjacent to the second movable connection piece 333. The three fireproof composite plates are fixedly connected with the connection piece 36.

[0056] Further, the thickness of each fireproof composite plate of the second fireproof plate assembly 313 is h2, 9.5 mm ≤ h2 ≤ 12 mm.

[0057] If the second fireproof plate assembly 313 is provided as a whole plate, it is inconvenient in the process of transportation and assembly. Therefore, it is convenient to transport and assemble by using a fireproof composite plate arranged in layers. The thickness of each layer of fireproof composite plate shall meet the requirements of 9.5mm to 12mm, so that the overall thickness can meet the requirements of fireproof.

[0058] The three fireproof composite plates can be assembled by self-tapping screws and the like, all of which are within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0059] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the heat insulation piece 312 is made of asbestos. Asbestos is also called "asbestos fiber" and defined as a general term for some silicate minerals that can be split into elastic fiber filaments. Chemical formula of the asbestos is: 3MgO·2SiO2·2H₂O, the Asbestos is fibrous, green yellow or white. The asbestos is white when split into flocs with a silky luster, and the fibers are elastic. The asbestos is acid, alkali and heat resistant, and is a poor conductor of heat and electricity. Therefore, the heat insulation piece 312 of the present disclosure is made of asbestos material, which can better insulate heat and prevent fire.

[0060] Further, a range of the thickness H3 of the heat insulation piece 312 is 120mm≤H3≤150mm.

[0061] Similarly, the thickness of the heat insulation piece 312 should not be too thin. If it is too thin, it is difficult to achieve the purpose of insulating temperature, the above-mentioned purpose of insulating temperature can be achieved by setting it to be no less than120mm. Of course, the thickness of the heat insulation piece 312 should not be too thick, which will affect the overall assembly of the tube 50. Therefore, the thickness of the heat insulation piece 312 is set to be no more than 150mm.

[0062] Referring to Figs. 1 and 2, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the end of the heat insulation piece 312 facing away from the flexible fireproof belt 35 is provided with an auxiliary fire belt 34, one end of which is connected with the heat insulation piece 312 and the other end is connected with the first tube 40.

[0063] That is, when the heat insulation piece 312 is installed, both ends of the heat insulation piece 312 are not directly connected to the ends of the first tube 40 and the second tube 50. One end of the heat insulation piece 312 is connected to the second tube 50 through the flexible fireproof belt 35, and the other end is connected through the auxiliary fire belt 34, which acts similarly to the flexible fireproof belt 35 to block the heat transfer.

[0064] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the adjacent end faces of the first tube 40 and the second tube 50 are respectively convexly provided with a first connecting section 41 and a second connecting section 51, the waterproof tape assembly 10 is connected to the first connecting section 41 and the second connecting section 51, the waterproof tape assembly 10, the first connecting section 41, the second connecting section 51, the end faces of the first tube 40 and the second tube 50, and the first fireproof plate assembly 311 are enclosed to form a fireproof space, and the second fireproof plate assembly 313 and the heat insulation piece 312 are positioned in the fireproof space.

[0065] The fireproof space thus arranged can not only facilitate the assembly of the fireproof assembly 30 and the waterproof tape assembly 10, but also make the overall structure compact.

[0066] Further, the heat insulation piece 312 is installed on the surface of the first fireproof plate assembly 311 facing the second fireproof plate assembly 313. When assembling the fireproof assembly 30, the first fireproof plate assembly 311 is assembled first, then the heat insulation piece 312 is assembled on the surface of the first fireproof plate assembly 311, then the flexible fireproof belt 35 is assembled, and finally the second fireproof plate assembly 313 is assembled to be completely assembled. The upper and lower surfaces of the heat insulation piece 312 may be abutted against the upper surface of the first fireproof plate assembly 311 and the lower surface of the second fireproof plate assembly 313, respectively. Of course, it is also possible to mount the heat insulation piece 312 only on the upper surface of the first fireproof plate assembly 311 similar to that shown in the drawings of this present disclosure.

[0067] The foregoing description merely depicts some embodiments of the present disclosure and therefore is not intended to limit the scope of the application. An equivalent structural or flow changes made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present disclosure, or any direct or indirect applications of the disclosure on any other related fields shall all fall in the scope of the present disclosure.
