Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the later stage of tunnel construction, it is necessary to carry out grouting backfill treatment on the gap inside the arch crown of the tunnel. In this process, corresponding grouting devices are required, including grouting pipes and exhaust pipes for discharging the inside of the backfill space. In the prior art, it is directly injected into the backfill space from the inside of the grouting pipe through an external concrete conveying device, and the internal air is discharged outward along the exhaust pipe by the filled concrete. However, in this structure, due to the long and narrow internal space and the uneven inner wall, after the concrete is conveyed into the inside, it is easy to accumulate at the slurry outlet position. A large amount of accumulation will generate pressure on the slurry outlet, resulting in a decrease in the slurry outlet speed and slowing down the entire construction process. On the other hand, for the exhaust pipe part, due to the uneven structure at the top of the backfill passage, some higher space areas are not fully grouted in time, resulting in the slurry being discharged from the exhaust port. Therefore, the inside of the backfill space cannot be fully filled, and the residual air in the backfill space is difficult to be fully discharged, reducing the strength of the tunnel arch crown after the final backfill.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , the present invention provides a technical solution: a tunnel crown backfill grouting device, including a grouting device body.

A slurry outlet 16 is formed at the top of the grouting pipeline 15. The fixing assembly 1 includes a sealing ring 19 and a fixing sleeve 18. A notch 21 is formed at the top of the fixing sleeve 18. A scraping plate 24 is inserted into the notch 21. A threaded sleeve 23 is installed at the top of the scraping plate 24. A threaded rod 22 passes through the threaded sleeve 23. The notch 21 and the slurry outlet 16 are in the same vertical plane. The bottom end of the scraping plate 24 penetrates into the grouting pipeline 15 from the notch 21 of the fixing sleeve 18 and the slurry outlet 16 in sequence.

By inserting the ventilation inner pipe 6 into the interior of the ventilation outer pipe 5, and then using multiple air outlet mechanisms 4, the space inside the backfill space can be filled from the top multiple The air is discharged outwardly from different positions, and the air outlet mechanism 4 can be automatically adjusted to a certain extent according to the different top heights at different positions, further reducing the amount of residual air inside after backfilling, making the slurry injected into the tunnel arch more sufficient and comprehensive, and improving the overall strength of the arch. After each air outlet mechanism 4 is pushed into the ventilation inner pipe 6 in a stored state, and the entire ventilation inner pipe 6 is pushed into the ventilation outer pipe 5, the ventilation inner pipe 6 can be directly rotated to align the external docking hole 7 and the internal docking hole 9. At the moment of alignment, each introduction capillary 10 can be popped out from the ventilation outer pipe 5 under the action of the spring 13 to communicate with the inside of the tunnel backfill space.

This process can be controlled from the outside to avoid blockage of the slurry outlet 16, ensuring that the backfilling process can be carried out efficiently and smoothly. When the fixed sleeve 18 is installed, the threaded sleeve 23 will be installed inside at the same time. After the threaded rod 22 is inserted into the threaded sleeve 23, the scraper 24 can be controlled from the outside to move along the slurry outlet 16.
