DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0027] Example:

[0028] Refer to the attached Figure 1-5A structure for waterproofing pipe segments in shield construction includes a pipe segment 1. The upper parts of the connecting sides of the two connected pipe segments 1 are each provided with a groove, in which an upper sealing gasket 3 is bonded, and the lower parts are also provided with a groove, in which a lower sealing gasket 4 is bonded, thereby achieving a double waterproofing effect on the pipe segment 1.

[0029] One end of the pipe segment 1 is provided with a "mouth"-shaped snap-in groove 2, and the other end is integrally formed with a snap-in piece 12 that cooperates with the snap-in groove 11. During installation, the snap-in platform 2 is inserted into the snap-in groove 11 to achieve rapid alignment and installation of the two pipe segments 1.

[0030] A middle sealing gasket 14 squeezed by an extrusion mechanism is provided between the clamping piece 12 and the clamping groove 2 to realize the third waterproof function in the middle. Several extrusion mechanisms are arranged at equal intervals and act together on one middle sealing gasket 14 .

[0031] The extrusion mechanism includes a first connecting rod 19, a second connecting rod 17, and a sliding bar 15. A U-shaped mounting groove 20 is provided in the body of the tube segment 1 on the outer periphery of the clamping groove 2. A through sliding hole is provided in the side wall between the mounting groove 20 and the clamping groove 2. A sliding rod 22 is slidably arranged in the sliding hole. One end of the first connecting rod 19 is hinged to the middle of the sliding rod 22, and the other end is hinged to the end of the second connecting rod 17. The other end of the second connecting rod 17 is hinged to the sliding bar 15. The sliding bar 15 has a trapezoidal structure. A support rod 18 is fixedly provided on the outer side wall of the clamping groove 2. The support rod 18 is hinged to the middle of the first connecting rod 19.

[0032] The push sliding rod 22 moves to the left, driving the first connecting rod 19 hinged to the end of the push sliding rod 22 to move to the left. At the same time, under the action of the lever, the other end of the first connecting rod 19 will move to the right, further driving the second connecting rod 17 to move to the right, thereby pushing the sliding bar 15 to squeeze the middle sealing gasket 14 to the right.

[0033] Furthermore, in order to limit the second connecting rod 17 during its movement and prevent the second connecting rod 17 from twisting during its movement, a limiting member 16 for limiting the second connecting rod 17 is provided on the outer wall of the engaging groove 2 in this embodiment.

[0034] The upper and lower side walls of the clamping groove 2 are both provided with a wedge-shaped groove 26 that penetrates the installation groove 20. A wedge-shaped sealing strip 26 is provided in the wedge-shaped groove 26, thereby achieving upper and lower waterproof functions.

[0035] The sealing strip 26 is an inverted trapezoid, which is adapted to the wedge-shaped groove 26. The small head of the sealing strip 26 is located in the wedge-shaped groove 26, and the majority of the sealing strip 26 is located in the mounting groove 20. The sliding strip 15 is a trapezoidal structure, and the surface connecting it with the sealing strip 26 is an inverted inclined surface. When moving to the right, its inclined surface can squeeze the sealing strip 26 into the snap-fit ​​groove 2.

[0036] A positioning hole 21 is provided on the side wall of the mounting groove 20 , and a spring 25 is provided in the positioning hole 21 . One end of the spring 25 is fixed in the positioning hole 21 , and the other end is fixedly connected to the sliding rod 22 . During disassembly or assembly, the spring 25 automatically pushes the sliding rod 22 out of the positioning hole 21 .

[0037] The upper end surface of the tube segment 1 is provided with a plurality of vertical threaded holes 11 at equal intervals. The threaded holes 11 are staggered with the second connecting rod 17 to prevent obstruction by the second connecting rod 17 during bolt installation. The lower ends of the threaded holes 11 protrude from the bottom surface of the mounting groove 20. The clamping piece 12 is provided with a through hole 13 with the same structure as the threaded hole 11, and the lower end of the threaded hole 11 is provided with a rod hole 10 extending therethrough. When the side surfaces of the two tube segments 1 are in contact, the left side of the clamping piece 12 also contacts the side surface of the clamping groove 2.

[0038] The pipe segment 1 where the snap-in groove 2 is located is also provided with a screw hole, and the other pipe segment 1 is provided with a smooth hole. An annular gasket 8 is provided at the smooth hole and the screw hole where the two pipe segments 1 are connected, which can achieve the fourth waterproofing. Screws 7 are provided in the screw hole and the smooth hole and are fixed by nuts 6. When the nuts 6 are tightened, the two pipe segments 1 can be tightened by the pre-tightening force.

[0039] The screw rod 7 is provided with a limiting hole 9 , and after the screw rod 7 is tightened, the limiting hole 9 is correspondingly connected to the rod hole 10 .

[0040] A bolt 23 is provided in the threaded hole 11, and a limiting rod 24 is integrally formed at the bottom of the bolt 23. The limiting rod 24 is not provided with threads. The limiting rod 24 is provided through the rod hole 10 and the limiting hole 9, which can fix the tightened screw 7 and prevent the bolt 6 of the screw 7 from loosening, causing gaps in the pipe segment and a decrease in the waterproof function.

[0041] Furthermore, the bolts and nuts of this embodiment are both provided with rubber waterproof gaskets.

[0042] The use process of the present invention:

[0043] During installation, ensure that the surface of the pipe segment 1 is smooth, without holes and missing edges on the side, and that the pipe segment 1 and the upper sealing gasket 3, lower sealing gasket 4, and middle sealing gasket 14 are dry and free of dust and grease. An upper sealing gasket 3 is set on the upper part of the connecting side of the two connected pipe segments 1, and a lower sealing gasket 4 is set on the lower part. An annular gasket 8 is set at the smooth hole and screw hole where the two pipe segments 1 are connected. Align the clamping piece 12 of one pipe segment 1 with the clamping groove 2 of the other pipe segment 1, and then tighten the two pipe segments 1 against each other through a jack, and tighten the screw 7 at the same time. The pre-tightening force of the screw 7 will further tighten the two pipe segments 1. At this time, the limiting hole 9 of the screw 7 is aligned with the rod hole 1. 0 alignment; in the process of the clamping piece 12 being squeezed into the clamping groove 2, the sliding rod 22 will be pushed to the left, and then the first connecting rod 19 will be driven to rotate. In the process of the first connecting rod 19 rotating, the second connecting rod 17 will be driven to the right, and the sliding bar 15 will be pushed to the right at the same time. The inclined surface of the sliding bar 15 will squeeze the middle sealing gasket 14 to move into the clamping groove 2, thereby achieving further sealing of the clamping piece 12; after the clamping piece 12 is completely clamped into the clamping groove 2, the through hole 13 will be aligned with the threaded hole 11, and the bolt 23 will be screwed in to fix the clamping piece 12. At the same time, the limiting rod 24 will be inserted into the limiting hole 9 and the rod hole 10.
