DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

(11) In the following, the technical scheme in the embodiment of the disclosure will be clearly and completely described with reference to the attached drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the disclosure, but not the whole embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without creative labor belong to the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

(12) In order to make the above objects, features and advantages of the present disclosure more obvious and easy to understand, the present disclosure will be further described in detail with the attached drawings and specific embodiments.

(13) Referring to FIG. 1-FIG. 8, the disclosure provides a sealing structure of an underground high-pressure gas storage, which is arranged at the inner side of the underground gas storage. The sealing structure includes concrete segments 1, closed steel sheets 2 and a sealing layer 3, and a plurality of concrete segments 1 are enclosed into a complete annular lining structure, and a plurality of concrete segments 1 are connected by the closed steel sheets 2, that is, one closed steel sheet 2 is drawn between every two adjacent concrete segments, and the sealing layer 3 is annular, and is arranged at the inner side of the annular lining structure, and the specific structure is shown in FIG. 6.

(14) In the further optimization scheme, as shown in FIG. 1, the concrete segments 1 are 1/N of the annular lining structure. In this embodiment, taking FIG. 1 as an example, the concrete segment 1 is circle, and four concrete segments 1 are connected end to end to form the annular lining structure. Empty slots 11 are respectively arranged near both ends of each of the inner side of the concrete segments 1; each of the empty slots 11 is provided with an outlet towards an inner wall of each of the concrete segments 1. The outlet position is reinforced to prevent the closed steel sheets 2 from being damaged when entering the two ends of the empty slot 11, and the width of the outlet is consistent with the thickness of the closed steel sheet 2.

(15) In a further optimization scheme, as shown in FIG. 3, the whole closed steel sheet 2 is approximately W-shaped, including an arc-shaped section in the middle and cable-stayed sections located at both ends of the arc-shaped section, where the radian of the arc-shaped section is consistent with the radian of the inner wall of the annular lining structure, and the end of the cable-stayed section has a T-shaped structure, which is used to form a force with the empty slot 11 to prevent the closed steel sheets 2 from falling off under tension. When in use, compressed gas is added into the gas storage, so that the concrete segments 1 are stressed, and the contact position between two adjacent concrete segments 1 is pulled and separated, resulting in a gap. On the one hand, the closed steel sheets 2 overcome a part of the pulling force to reduce the generation of the separation gap, on the other hand, the generated gap is blocked, and the sealing layer 3 is prevented from generating stress concentration, cracking and air leakage at the gap.

(16) In a further optimization scheme, as shown in FIG. 4, the sealing layer 3 is an integral annular body made of rubber.

(17) In a further optimization scheme, the deformation of the sealing layer 3 and the concrete segments 1 is coordinated.

(18) In a further optimization scheme, the sealing layer 3 changes the stiffness of the sealing layer 3 through the number of cord layers, so as to adapt to the consistent deformation of the sealing layer 3 and the concrete segments 1 under different working conditions (such as maximum sealing pressure and different geological conditions).

(19) To further optimize the scheme, as shown in FIG. 2, pressure sensors 12 in contact with the T-shaped structures of the closed steel sheets 2 are arranged in the empty slots 11 of the concrete segments 1; when the closed steel sheets 2 are pulled, the pressure between the T-shaped structures at both ends and the pressure sensors 12 increases, and when the pressure value exceeds the set threshold, the pressure sensors 12 give an alarm; at this time, it is suggested that the sealing structure has reached the maximum annular displacement, and it is forbidden to continue to inflate the gas storage to avoid the damage of the sealing structure caused by excessive pressure in the gas storage.

(20) In a further optimization scheme, the concrete segments 1 may be cast-in-place concrete lining blocks or precast concrete lining blocks.

(21) Further optimizing the scheme, the thickness of each part of the concrete segment 1 is consistent; the thickness of the concrete segment 1 is determined according to the comprehensive factors such as the design size of the gas storage and the strength of the surrounding rock of the cavern, and is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

(22) In a further optimization scheme, the closed steel sheets 2 are a solid steel sheet with a certain tensile strength, and the closed steel sheet 2 is integrally formed.

(23) The working principle of the sealing structure of the underground high-pressure gas storage in the embodiment of the disclosure is as follows: when high-pressure gas is injected into the gas storage, the concrete segments 1 are forced to expand outwards under the action of the internal high-pressure gas; as shown in FIG. 8, gaps are generated between concrete segments 1, and closed steel sheets 2 prevent stress concentration of sealing layer 3 at the gaps, leading to cracking of sealing layer 3. Both ends of closed steel sheets 2 are T-shaped structures. When the maximum annular displacement of sealing structure is reached, the T-shaped structure will contact with the inner wall of empty slot 11 of concrete segment 1, and the pressure sensor 12 will be alarmed. At this time, it is forbidden to inflate the gas storage, so as to increase the internal pressure of the gas storage and prevent the sealing structure from being damaged.

(24) The disclosure also provides a construction method of the sealing structure of the underground high-pressure gas storage, as shown in FIG. 9, which is used for installing the sealing structure of the underground high-pressure gas storage, and the method includes the following steps: S1, determining the position of the gas storage, carrying out rock mechanics experiments, obtaining material parameters and carrying out numerical simulation; S2, determining the maximum gas storage pressure of the gas storage through numerical simulation calculation, and calculating the circumferential displacement of the gas storage; S3, according to the circumferential displacement of the gas storage, determining the length of the closed steel sheet 2 and changing the number of cord layers to adjust the rigidity of the sealing layer 3, so that the deformation of the concrete segment 1 and the sealing layer 3 is consistent; S4, excavating the underground cavity, splicing and installing the concrete segments 1, connecting the closed steel sheets 2 and the sealing layer 3 to obtain a gas storage with a sealed structure; and S5, inflating the gas storage, and the concrete segments 1 begin to be pulled and separated from each other until the T-shaped structures at both ends of the closed steel sheet 2 contact with the pressure sensor 12, and the pressure sensor 12 will obtain an alarm and stop inflating.
