Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a pipe jacking machine, in particular to a mud control system and a pipe jacking machine. Background Art
[0002] Pipe jacking construction is a method of underground pipeline construction. It does not require excavation of the surface layer and can cross roads, railways, rivers, ground buildings, underground buildings and various underground pipelines. Pipe jacking construction uses the thrust of the main jacking cylinder and the pipeline relay room to push the tool pipe or tunnel boring machine from the working well through the soil layer to the receiving well for lifting. At the same time, the pipeline following the tool pipe or tunnel boring machine is buried between the two wells, in order to realize the construction method of trenchless laying of underground pipelines. During the construction of the pipe jacking machine, the jacking machine head rotates and moves forward. At the same time, mud with a certain pressure is pumped into the slurry inlet pipe through the mud pump. The thixotropic mud sleeve is used to reduce the friction between the pipe wall and the soil during the jacking process, and the lost soil is filled to reduce soil deformation, settlement and water isolation. Therefore, mud or water is pumped into the pipeline, and then discharged into the mud pool through the pipeline. After sedimentation, it is reused again, which not only reduces the construction cost but also avoids secondary pollution, achieving the purpose of energy saving and environmental protection.

[0026] The electrical control part includes a conversion switch 8, a limit switch I9, a limit switch II10, a relay I12, and a relay II11; the positive pole of the power supply VCC is connected to the three ends of the conversion switch 8, and one end of the limit switch I9 and the limit switch II10 through a circuit; one end of the conversion switch 8 is connected to the positive pole of the first solenoid valve 3 through the normally closed contact of the relay I12, and the seven ends of the conversion switch 8 are connected to the positive pole of the second solenoid valve 6 through the normally closed contact of the relay II11, and the negative poles of the first solenoid valve 3 and the second solenoid valve 6 are connected to the negative pole of the power supply through the circuit; the two ends of the limit switch I9 are connected to the positive pole of the relay I12 through the circuit, the two ends of the limit switch II10 are connected to the positive pole of the relay II11 through the circuit, and the negative poles of the limit switch I9, the three ends of the limit switch II10, the relay I12, and the relay II11 are connected to the negative pole of the power supply through the circuit.
[0027] The mechanical transmission part includes a gear rotating structure 14, a slurry discharge pipe 15, a slurry inlet pipe 16, a stop valve C17, a stop valve A18, a bypass valve 19, a stop valve B20 and an induction plate 13; the joint surfaces of the first hydraulic cylinder 4, the second hydraulic cylinder 5 and the gear rotating structure 14 are processed into a rack structure, and are meshed with the gears of the gear rotating structure 14, the stop valve C17) is installed in the external circulation pipeline, the bypass valve 19 is installed in the pipeline connecting the slurry discharge pipe 15 and the slurry inlet pipe 16, the stop valve A18 and the stop valve B20 are respectively installed in the pipelines of the slurry discharge pipe 15 and the slurry inlet pipe 16, and the induction plate is installed on the upper end surface of the gear rotating structure 14.
[0028] It should be noted that: the power source preferably adopts a three-phase AC asynchronous motor 1 , and the hydraulic pump 2 provides rotational power by connecting to the three-phase AC asynchronous motor 1 .
[0029] The high-pressure P port of the hydraulic pump 2 is connected to a safety valve 22 .
[0030] Limit switch Ⅰ9 and limit switch Ⅱ10 adopt non-contact induction switches.
[0031] The conversion switch 8 is a two-way self-resetting switch.
[0032] The gear rotating structure 14 can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise.
[0033] Working process: During the construction of the pipe jacking machine, the head of the pipe jacking machine rotates and moves forward. At the same time, mud with a certain pressure is pumped into the slurry inlet pipe through the mud pump. The thixotropic mud sleeve is used to reduce the friction between the pipe wall and the soil during the jacking process, and fill the lost soil to reduce soil deformation, settlement and water isolation. Therefore, mud or water is pumped into the pipe, and then discharged into the mud pool through the pipe, and reused after sedimentation.
[0034] In actual work, mud must be pumped in first. At this time, the conversion switch 8 is in the middle gear, and the mud enters the main engine from the slurry inlet pipe and the stop valve B20. The stop valve C17 and the bypass valve 19 are in the closed state. The circulated mud enters the mud recovery system through the stop valve A18 and the slurry discharge pipe 15 to complete the internal circulation of the mud; if the upper end of the conversion switch 8 is pressed, the 3rd end of the conversion switch 8 is connected to the 1st end, the first solenoid valve 3 is energized, and the high-pressure oil of the hydraulic pump 2 flows through the first solenoid valve 3 and the two-way hydraulic lock to the rodless chamber of the first hydraulic cylinder 4 and the rod chamber of the second hydraulic cylinder 5. The rod of the first hydraulic cylinder 4 extends straight out, and the rod of the second hydraulic cylinder 5 retracts straight out. The inner sides of the first hydraulic cylinder 4 and the second hydraulic cylinder 5 are both geared, so the linear motion of the two cylinders drives the gear rotating structure 14 to rotate counterclockwise. After rotating a certain angle, the induction plate 13 meets the limit switch Ⅰ9, and the 1st and 2nd ends of the limit switch Ⅰ9 are connected. The coil of the relay Ⅰ12 is energized, and its normally closed contact is disconnected. The first solenoid valve 3 loses power, and the first hydraulic cylinder 4 and the second hydraulic cylinder 5 stop moving. At this time, the stop valve A18 and the stop valve C17 are both in the open state, and the bypass valve 19 and the stop valve B20 are both in the closed state. The newly mixed high-pressure mud flows into the working pit of the machine head through the stop valve C17, and the used mud flows into the working pit of the machine head through the stop valve C17. The check valve A18 and the pipeline flow back to the recovery pit, completing the external circulation of the mud for secondary utilization. During the working interval, the external circulation pipeline can also be used to flush the internal mud to prevent blockage. Since the mud is easy to solidify when it is still, when work is stopped or the project is completed, it is necessary to flush the mud pipeline with clean water in time. At this time, press the lower end of the conversion switch 8, and the 3rd and 7th ends of the conversion switch 8 are connected. The first solenoid valve 3 is energized, and the high-pressure oil of the hydraulic pump 2 flows through the second solenoid valve 6 and the two-way hydraulic lock to the rodless cavity of the second hydraulic cylinder 5 and the rod cavity of the first hydraulic cylinder 4. The rod of the first hydraulic cylinder 4 retracts linearly, and the rod of the second hydraulic cylinder 5 extends linearly. 4 and the inner side surfaces of the second hydraulic cylinder 5 are all teeth, so the linear motion of the two cylinders drives the gear rotating structure 14 to rotate clockwise. After rotating a certain angle, the induction plate 13 meets the limit switch Ⅱ10, and the 1 end and the 2 end of the limit switch Ⅱ10 are connected. The coil of the relay Ⅱ11 is energized, and its normally closed contact is disconnected. The second solenoid valve 6 loses power, and the first hydraulic cylinder 4 and the second hydraulic cylinder 5 stop moving. At this time, the stop valve A18, the stop valve B20 and the stop valve C17 are all in the closed state, and the bypass valve 19 is in the open state. Clean water flows out through the mud inlet, the bypass valve 19 and the recovered mud outlet to achieve the purpose of cleaning the mud pipeline.
[0035] As can be seen from the above structure, the present invention effectively ensures the reliability of slurry feeding and discharging when the pipe jacking machine is working through electrical control of mechanical and hydraulic systems, ensures the secondary utilization of mud, and achieves the purpose of energy saving and environmental protection.
[0036] The present invention also provides a pipe jacking machine having the above-mentioned mud control system.
[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the specific implementation methods of the present invention can still be modified or some technical features can be replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit of the technical solution of the present invention, which should be included in the scope of the technical solution for protection of the present invention.
