TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to engineering technology science, in particular to a novel track layer for urban track traffic engineering and its construction method.

BACKGROUND ART

At present, in the track construction of urban track transit engineering in China, track layer equipment mainly includes three types: a fixedly assembled door type structure, a manual and hydraulic fixed-distance variable-span door type structure and an automatically retrieved electric stepless variable-span door type structure. Temporary running tracks need to be layed for the three types of track layers to run. The temporary running tracks are pre-layed on tunnel sidewalls on both sides of a main line or a structure floor, with track distances being generally 2800 mm, 3000 mm, 3100 mm, 3800 mm, etc. The temporary running tracks are fixed on the tunnel sidewalls or the structural floor by special steel structural buttresses. Due to the narrow space of an underground tunnel structure of urban track transit engineering, the mounting of the temporary running tracks reduces a working space in the narrow space. The laying of track sections during the track construction requires the use of lateral supports to ensure the state of the track. The lateral supports often collide with the temporary running tracks, which reduces the construction space for track section laying on the main line. The position where the temporary running tracks are mounted is different depending on the difference in structure of the tunnel (a circular tunnel is mounted on the side wall, a horseshoe tunnel and a rectangular tunnel are mounted on the structural floor, or one side of a structure needs to be mounted on the sidewall and the other side thereof needs to be mounted on the structure floor). No matter what kind of mounting method is adopted, the position space of the track bed structure will be occupied, such that the concrete construction of a track bed is changed from completed at a time to constructed twice (the entire track bed is poured first and a track bed ditch is poured later), resulting in the formation of concrete structural joints between the entire track bed and the ditch. As the laying of the main line track continues to advance forward, a large number of temporary running tracks are circularly transported and used, which makes the construction of the main line track have an impact both in space and in time. In the meantime, a building structure needs to be drilled with holes to fix running track buttresses when the temporary running tracks are mounted, which affects the appearance and performance of the structure to some extent. When encountering special sections such as stations and civil air defense doors, due to the limitation of structural boundaries, the change in track distances of the temporary running tracks causes the discontinuity of the temporary running tracks, which not only occupies the mounting position of the main line track, but also interrupts the construction of the main line track due to the span change requirements of the track layer, thereby occupying the effective time and space of the track construction to varying degrees. Due to the need to lay the temporary running tracks, the operation procedures are increased for the construction of the main line track, the construction investment is increased, and the construction cost and labor intensity are increased.

In summary, the existing track layer for track construction is widely used in practical applications, but it brings many constraints and influences to the construction of the main line. In the rapid development of the laying construction technology of modern track transit engineering, the structures, such as a plate type track bed and a prefabricated assembly structure will become the mainstreams. In order to meet the higher requirements on track laying construction efficiency, there are higher requirements on the adaptability, full-featured type and flexibility of track laying equipment, and it is an inevitable trend to provide larger working space and effective working time for track laying on the main line. Therefore, it is a necessary trend and urgent affair to develop a novel energy-saving and environmentally-friendly track layer that can realize the hoisting and transfer of track materials, prefabricated products, assembled structures and other materials in the tunnel without the need to lay temporary running tracks, as well as rapid transfer of the whole machine without disintegration, and the long-distance transportation and transfer just by simple splitting.
