Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of mooring foundation devices, and in particular relates to a torpedo anchor reinforcement grouting enhancement anti-pulling bearing capacity device and a working method. Background Art

[0002] my country's exploration of marine resources is moving towards the deep sea, which places high demands on offshore oil platforms and platform anchor foundations. At present, the most widely used deep-water anchor foundations are suction anchors, normal bearing anchors, suction penetration plate anchors, vibration deep buried anchors, and dynamic penetration anchors. Among them, the torpedo anchor is the latest development of deep-sea anchor foundations, with outstanding features such as economical cost, simple and efficient installation, and good anchoring performance. In particular, it overcomes the disadvantage that the installation cost of traditional anchor foundations is heavily dependent on water depth, and is currently the deep-water anchor foundation with the most development prospects. The current problem is that increasing the penetration depth of the torpedo anchor by increasing its own weight requires a large amount of steel, which is costly; when the torpedo anchor is lightweight, the initial penetration depth is often insufficient; it is impossible to improve the anchoring effect between the torpedo anchor and the formation by reinforcement, which is not conducive to the torpedo anchor's pull-out bearing capacity. There is still a lot of room for improvement in the pull-out performance of the existing torpedo anchor.

[0003] The search found that the patent application number: CN202122683123.8 "Gravity Penetration Deep Water Anchor" provides a solution for installing the anchor body into the soil, embedding the support plate into the soil, and forming an anchor body inverted in the soil. This torpedo anchor cannot use its own weight to increase the initial grouting depth, cannot reinforce and grout the soil layer, and requires additional power to drag the support plate in the soil and later grouting, and the automation effect is low; due to the limitations of the grouting structure, the cost of its grouting materials is high, and it is difficult to use cheap concrete for grouting. The application number is 201610533751.9 "A Ringed Torpedo Anchor", which increases the bearing capacity of the torpedo anchor by setting a puncture mechanism inside the cavity and puncturing into a plane under the action of tension. However, this solution only expands the bayonets outward, and the improvement in bearing capacity is restricted by the number and size of the bayonets. It is impossible to form a reinforced grouting reinforcement structure centered on multiple inserted bars, and there is still much room for improving the bearing capacity of the torpedo anchor. In addition, it is also impossible to use the self-weight of cheap large-volume concrete to increase the initial penetration depth of the torpedo anchor.

[0004] Therefore, the existing technology cannot use cheap large-volume concrete to increase its own weight, resulting in insufficient initial penetration depth of the torpedo anchor; and it is unable to automatically drive the automation of the entire reinforcement and grouting process by converting its own gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy; due to the limitation on the number of puncture mechanisms, the number and range of reinforcement are greatly restricted, and there is still much room for improvement in enhancing the pull-out bearing capacity of the torpedo anchor. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the deficiencies and defects of the prior art, and to provide a device and working method for reinforcing and grouting a torpedo anchor to enhance its pull-out bearing capacity. The device increases the initial penetration depth of the torpedo anchor by pouring cheap, large-volume concrete into the torpedo anchor to enhance its own weight. After penetration, the piston in the expanded anchor head branch is driven by the weight of the large-volume concrete to insert the inserted bars outward into the soil layer, and grouting is performed around the inserted bars to form a reinforced grouting reinforced structure centered on a plurality of inserted bars, which greatly enhances the pull-out bearing capacity of the torpedo anchor. The method can fully convert the dead weight of the torpedo anchor into a reinforced grouting reinforced structure that is more conducive to enhancing the pull-out bearing capacity of the torpedo anchor, achieving the dual effects of effectively increasing the initial penetration depth of the torpedo anchor and greatly improving the pull-out bearing capacity of the torpedo anchor.
