Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline reinforcement technology, and more specifically to a temporary reinforcement device for pipe jacking. Background Technology
[0002] Pipe jacking is a trenchless underground pipeline laying technology that uses hydraulic jacks and other equipment to push prefabricated pipes into the ground section by section, forming underground channels or pipelines. Its core principle is to use the jacking equipment to generate thrust in the working pit, overcoming the friction between the pipeline and the surrounding soil, so that the pipeline can advance along the designed route without large-scale excavation of the surface.
[0003] In existing pipe jacking operations, some geological factors can cause significant friction between the outer wall of the pipe and the soil. As the pipeline lengthens, it will encounter greater resistance during the pipe jacking process. When the resistance is too great, the pipe is not strong enough and is prone to cracking, which will affect the construction progress. Utility Model Content

[0008] Furthermore, a locking pin assembly extending to the bottom is provided inside the through hole of the connecting block, and a pin hole for docking with the locking pin assembly is provided on the inner wall of the steel sleeve assembly.
[0009] Furthermore, the inner support column assembly includes two end tubes and a middle connecting tube. The two end tubes are slidably sleeved on the side wall of the middle connecting tube.

[0024] The specific embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a temporary reinforcement device for pipe jacking, including a movable pipeline. The movable pipeline includes several pipe sections 1 and several steel sleeve assemblies 2. The several pipe sections 1 are arranged at the gap between two adjacent steel sleeve assemblies 2. Several connecting blocks 3 are installed on the inner wall of each of the several steel sleeve assemblies 2. Several internal support column assemblies 4 are arranged in the inner cavity of each of the several pipe sections 1. The two ends of the internal support column assemblies 4 are respectively connected to the connecting blocks 3 on the inner wall of two adjacent steel sleeve assemblies 2. The internal support column assemblies 4 are tubular and used for liquid transportation. The connecting blocks 3 are provided with water outlets that penetrate the side wall of the steel sleeve assemblies 2.
[0026] During pipe jacking operation, steel sleeve assemblies 2 are first installed at both ends of a single pipe section 1. The first steel sleeve assembly 2 is used to connect to the pipe jacking machine, and the last steel sleeve assembly 2 is used to contact the hydraulic jacking iron. Before the hydraulic jacking iron applies pressure, several inner support column assemblies 4 are installed inside the pipe section 1. That is, the inner support column assemblies 4 are placed inside the pipe section 1, and both ends of the inner support column assemblies 4 are connected to the connecting blocks 3 on the inner walls of the two steel sleeve assemblies 2. At this time, when the hydraulic jacking iron applies pressure to the last steel sleeve assembly 2, the pressure is transmitted to the first steel sleeve assembly 2 through the inner support column assemblies 4, causing the pipe jacking machine to move until the first pipe section 1 enters the soil. Then, the second pipe section 1 is connected to the last steel sleeve assembly 2, and the other end of the second steel sleeve assembly 2 is installed to form a new tail end. Then, the pipe jacking machine is pushed by the hydraulic jacking iron. This process repeats to form a moving pipeline. During this process, several pipe sections 1 are carried forward. The force output by the hydraulic jacking is transmitted by the steel sleeve assembly 2 and the inner support column assembly 4. At this time, the pipe section 1 does not need to transmit a large jacking force and friction to resist during the movement, thus effectively avoiding damage to the pipe section 1. After the pipeline is laid, the connecting block 3 can be disassembled from the steel sleeve assembly 2. That is, the connecting block 3 and the inner support column assembly 4 can be removed after the pipe jacking operation to prevent pipeline blockage. In addition, during the pipe jacking operation, liquid can be introduced into the inner support column assembly 4 and transmitted along the entire pipeline through the inner support column assembly 4. During the transmission, the liquid is output to the side wall of the steel sleeve assembly 2 through the connecting block 3 to wet the soil, thereby reducing the friction between the pipeline and the soil and further reducing the risk of damage to the pipe section 1.
[0027] Reference Figure 1 The steel sleeve assembly 2 includes an inner ring 21 and an outer ring wall 22. The inner ring 21 is fixed to the inner wall of the outer ring wall 22. The outer ring wall 22 is sleeved on two adjacent pipe sections 1, so that the two sides of the inner ring 21 abut against the two adjacent pipe sections 1 respectively. The inner diameter of the inner ring 21 is equal to the inner diameter of the pipe section 1.
[0028] Since the steel sleeve assembly 2 and the pipe section 1 together form a mobile pipeline, the structural design of the steel sleeve assembly 2 can avoid blockage in the pipeline and can also reinforce the cross section between two adjacent pipe sections 1.
[0029] Reference Figure 3 , 4 One end of the connecting block 3 is provided with a through hole and a plug 31. The inner wall of the inner ring 21 is provided with several slots 5. The plug 31 is inserted into the slot 5. The slot 5 is provided with an outlet 51 that penetrates the side wall of the steel sleeve assembly 2. The plug 31 is provided with a liquid channel 6 that connects with the outlet 51.
[0030] When installing the connecting block 3, simply insert its insert 31 into the slot 5 on the inner wall of the steel sleeve assembly 2. When installing the inner support column assembly 4, insert both ends of it into the through holes of the two connecting blocks 3 respectively. In some embodiments, both ends of the inner support column assembly 4 are fitted with support rings 40. The installation is completed by having the two support rings 40 of the inner support column assembly 4 abut against the two connecting blocks 3. When transporting liquid, a water source can be connected to the through hole of the connecting block 3 at the end of the mobile pipeline. The water source passes through the through hole of one connecting block 3 and enters the inner support column assembly 4 for transmission. Then it reaches the through hole of another connecting block 3 and is transmitted by the next inner support column assembly 4. This process is repeated so that the liquid can reach the entire mobile pipeline. The through hole of the connecting block 3 at the beginning of the pipeline can be blocked with a plug. The liquid in the through hole can be diverted through the liquid channel 6 and then output from the steel sleeve assembly 2 through the outlet 51, and then come into contact with the soil.
[0031] Reference Figure 4 , 5 The connecting block 3 is also provided with a locking pin assembly 7 that extends to the bottom, and the inner wall of the steel sleeve assembly 2 is provided with a pin hole 8 for docking with the locking pin assembly 7.
[0032] Since the connecting block 3 and the steel sleeve assembly 2 are connected by an insertion type, when the connecting block 3 is used to output liquid, it is easy for the connecting block 3 to detach under the action of water pressure. Therefore, a locking pin assembly 7 and a pin hole 8 are set to cooperate. After the connecting block 3 is installed, the locking pin assembly 7 and the pin hole 8 are connected to form a locking effect after the connecting block 3 is installed, so as to avoid the situation of falling off.
[0033] Reference Figure 5 The inner wall of the pin hole 8 is provided with a fixed half ring 81, and the locking pin assembly 7 includes a main pin 71. The side wall of the main pin 71 is provided with a movable half ring 72. The fixed half ring and the movable half ring cooperate with each other to lock the locking pin assembly in the pin hole.
[0034] Specifically, when the locking pin assembly 7 aligns with the pin hole 8, the bottom end of the main pin 71 is inserted into the pin hole 8. At this time, the moving half ring 72 and the fixed half ring 81 are misaligned. When the moving half ring 72 moves to below the fixed half ring 81, the locking pin assembly 7 is rotated to drive the moving half ring 72 to a position aligned vertically with the fixed half ring 81. At this time, the locking pin assembly 7 and the pin hole 8 are connected, and the locking pin assembly 7 cannot disengage from the pin hole 8, thus achieving the effect of installing and locking the connecting block 3.
[0035] Referring to Figure 6, the inner support column assembly 4 includes a central connecting pipe 42 and two end pipes 41. The two end pipes 41 are installed at both ends of the central connecting pipe by a rotating rod. Specifically, the rotating rod includes a knob 45 and a threaded rod 46 connected to each other. The two end pipes 41 are respectively fitted with a first fixing ring block 43 and a second fixing ring block 44. The side walls of the first fixing ring block 43 and the second fixing ring block 44 are provided with rotating holes. By rotating the knob, the end of the threaded rod 46 is screwed into the rotating hole of the first fixing ring block 43 and extends out from the rotating hole of the second fixing ring block 44.
[0036] The above-mentioned structural design allows the inner support column assembly 4 to extend and retract, facilitating the matching of the inner support column assembly 4 with the spacing between the two connecting blocks 3. During use, the threaded rod 46 is rotated by rotating the knob 45. Through the threaded engagement between the second fixed ring block 44 and the threaded rod 46, the spacing between the first fixed ring block 43 and the second fixed ring block 44 can be controlled. During this process, the connecting pipe 42 slides within the two end pipes 41.
[0037] Reference Figure 6 The outer walls of both ends of the connecting tube 42 are provided with anti-detachment sliders 48, and the inner walls of the two end tubes 41 are provided with anti-detachment grooves. The two anti-detachment sliders 48 slide and fit in the anti-detachment grooves on the inner walls of the two end tubes 41 respectively, thereby preventing the connecting tube 42 from falling out of the inner cavity of the end tube 41.
[0038] Reference Figure 7 The middle connecting pipe 42 is fitted with a pad 47 around its perimeter. The two ends of the pad 47 abut against the ends of the two end pipes 41 respectively. The pad 47 is made of several metal pads 471 stacked together.
[0039] Since the inner support column assembly 4 is used to transmit the jacking pressure during pipe jacking operations, and the pressure is applied to the threaded rod 46 through the telescopic structure of the inner support column assembly 4, the structural stability is poor. Therefore, the pad block 47 is set to distribute the pressure on the threaded rod 46, thereby improving the structural strength.
[0040] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. This utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
