Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pipe jacking construction technology, and in particular relates to a monitoring device for ground deformation caused by pipe jacking construction. Background Technology

[0002] As a trenchless construction method, the greatest advantage of pipe jacking is that it uses a tunneling method without opening trenches, thus avoiding the direct impact of the working face on above-ground buildings or structures. However, pipe jacking construction inevitably causes the movement of the ground and underground soil, which will affect the safety of adjacent buildings and underground pipelines.

[0003] During pipe jacking construction, in order to allow for adjustment, facilitate correction, and reduce the frictional resistance between the pipe section and the surrounding soil, the outer diameter of the tool pipe is generally 2-4 cm larger than that of the precast pipe section. Therefore, after the tool pipe is excavated, an annular gap is formed around the outer diameter of the pipe section. If the mud is not filled in time, the surrounding soil will move into the annular gap, resulting in soil loss. At the same time, the difference in outer diameter between the pipe section and the intermediate ring, and the poor flatness of the connection between the pipe sections, all cause soil loss and lead to soil settlement. Therefore, the most common phenomenon during pipe jacking construction is the concave deformation of the ground caused by soil settlement.

[0004] Currently, the general approach is to conduct preliminary exploration of soil layer distribution, followed by modeling and analysis based on the exploration data to assist in pipe jacking construction. This includes adjusting the grouting fluid ratio according to the exploration data and maintaining appropriate grouting pressure. During construction, corresponding monitoring devices, such as displacement sensors, are also used to monitor soil layer displacement and make timely adjustments based on the monitoring data. However, since pipe jacking is an underground construction process, burying monitoring devices on the ground would increase the difficulty and complexity of construction and would be limited by factors such as ground buildings. Moreover, it would be impossible to perform dynamic monitoring as the pipe jacking construction progresses, significantly limiting the coverage and flexibility of the monitoring.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of a monitoring device for ground deformation caused by pipe jacking construction are:

[0016] 1. Through the coordinated operation of the launching shaft, cutterhead assembly, pipe jacking mechanism, and multiple prefabricated pipe sections, it can be used for pipe jacking construction. Through the coordinated operation of multiple monitoring pipe sections, cylinders, cavities, grooves, a first piston, a groove, a jacking rod, a jet hemisphere, a first normally closed solenoid valve, a pressure triggering mechanism, a housing, a tee pipe, an air inlet pipe, a second normally closed solenoid valve, an air pump, and a gas resistance triggering mechanism, the jet hemisphere is ejected using a jetting method, automatically introducing gas into the excavated soil layer. By measuring the gas flow velocity within the soil layer, the looseness of the excavated soil layer can be detected based on the resistance of the soil to the gas. The system can automatically trigger when excessive loosening of the soil layer may lead to soil settlement, thus providing personnel with a ground settlement deformation prediction alarm. This allows for timely adjustments to the pipe jacking construction. Furthermore, by introducing gas into the soil layer around the pipe jacking, it can compensate for the air squeezed out during excavation, helping to improve soil stability and reduce the possibility of ground deformation. At the same time, by connecting multiple monitoring pipes in series in the prefabricated pipe section, it can be moved along with the pipe jacking construction, providing a large monitoring coverage area and high flexibility, reducing the limitations of ground deformation monitoring, eliminating the need for on-ground construction, and reducing construction difficulty.

[0017] 2. By coordinating the diversion pipe, the third normally closed solenoid valve, the ring pipe, and multiple friction detection mechanisms, gas can be used to simulate soil friction detection after excavation during the gap of prefabricated pipe section installation. This allows for timely adjustment of the jacking pressure of the pipe jacking mechanism on the prefabricated pipe section when the soil friction is high.

[0018] 3. By setting up a settlement monitoring mechanism, long-term settlement monitoring of the soil layer can be carried out after all precast pipe sections are constructed. This makes it convenient for personnel to conduct regular inspections of the settlement at the pipe jacking location. It also allows people to promptly know about possible deformation phenomena of the ground due to settlement for a long period of time after the pipe jacking construction is completed. At the same time, the monitoring pipe and its internal monitoring components can be fully utilized to improve utilization rate. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0032] like Figure 1-11 As shown, a monitoring device for ground deformation caused by pipe jacking construction includes a launching shaft 1, a cutterhead assembly 2, a pipe jacking mechanism 3, and multiple prefabricated pipe sections 4. The prefabricated pipe sections 4 are disposed between the cutterhead assembly 2 and the pipe jacking mechanism 3, and monitoring pipe sections 5 are connected in series among the multiple prefabricated pipe sections 4. A cylinder 6 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the inner wall of the monitoring pipe section 5. A control box 25 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the cylinder 6, and a microcontroller 26 is fixedly installed inside the control box 25. A remote alarm 27 electrically connected to the microcontroller 26 is fixedly installed inside the control box 25. A time relay group 28 is fixedly installed inside the control box 25. The time relay group 28 consists of multiple time relays. The time relays can perform delayed power-on and power-off delay actions, which is a mature existing technology, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0033] The cylinder 6 has a cavity 7 inside. The wall of the monitoring tube section 5 has a groove 8 corresponding to the position of the cylinder 6. A first piston 9 is slidably installed inside the cavity 7. A support spring is fixedly installed between the first piston 9 and the cavity 7. The support spring is used to assist the first piston 9 to return to its original position. A push rod 10 is fixedly installed through the end face of the first piston 9 and slidably connected to the bottom of the groove 8. The push rod 10 is hollow. The top of the push rod 10 is fixedly connected to a jet hemisphere 11. A first normally closed solenoid valve 12 is installed inside the push rod 10.

[0034] A pressure triggering mechanism 13, which cooperates with the first normally closed solenoid valve 12, is fixedly provided at the bottom of the cylinder 6. The pressure triggering mechanism 13 includes a circular cover 131 fixedly provided at the bottom of the cylinder 6, and a second piston 132 is slidably provided inside the circular cover 131. Two first springs 133 are fixedly provided between the second piston 132 and the inner bottom of the circular cover 131. A first pressure switch 134 is fixedly provided at the inner bottom of the circular cover 131, and the first pressure switch 134 is electrically connected to the first normally closed solenoid valve 12. The second normally closed solenoid valve 17 and the third normally closed solenoid valve 21 are both electrically connected to the first pressure switch 134 through a time relay group 28. After the moving contact of switch 134 closes under external pressure, the third normally closed solenoid valve 21 on the shunt pipe 20 can be energized for 3 minutes after a delay through the time relay group 28, and the second normally closed solenoid valve 17 can be de-energized after 3 minutes. At the same time, the first normally closed solenoid valve 12 is also electrically connected to the first pressure switch 134 through the time relay group 28. That is, after the moving contact of the first pressure switch 134 springs back to reset, the first normally closed solenoid valve 12 can also be de-energized for 1 minute after a delay under the action of the time relay group 28. This allows excess air inside the circular cavity 7 to be discharged through the push rod 10, thereby allowing the first piston 9 to move down and reset.

[0035] A housing 14 is provided on one side of the cylinder 6, and a three-way pipe 15 is fixedly inserted into the side wall of the housing 14. One end of the three-way pipe 15 is fixedly connected to the cylinder 7 via an air inlet pipe 16, and a second normally closed solenoid valve 17 is provided inside the air inlet pipe 16. An air pump 18 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the housing 14, and the output end of the air pump 18 is connected to the housing 14. An air resistance triggering mechanism 19 is provided inside the housing 14. The air resistance triggering mechanism 19 includes a semi-circular box 191 fixedly installed on the top of the housing 14. A strip-shaped hole 192 is opened on the top of the housing 14 below the semi-circular box 191, and a rotating rod 193 is rotatably connected to the wall of the strip-shaped hole 192 via a pivot pin. A frame plate 194 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the device. A ventilation cloth block 195 is fixedly installed inside the frame plate 194. A trigger pressure rod 196 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating rod 193. A trigger switch 197 is fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the semi-circular box 191. A trigger pressure plate 198 is fixedly connected to the moving contact of the trigger switch 197. A set of return springs 199 is fixedly installed between the trigger pressure plate 198 and the inner wall of the semi-circular box 191. The trigger switch 197 is electrically connected to the microcontroller 26. The trigger switch 197 is a pressure switch. After the trigger switch 197 is triggered, the microcontroller 26 receives the electrical signal generated after the trigger switch 197 is closed, and can control the remote alarm 27 to issue a corresponding alarm signal.

[0036] The inner wall of the housing 14 is integrally formed with a baffle 36, and the baffle 36 is located on one side of the frame plate 194. The side wall of the housing 14 is provided with an exhaust hole 37 on one side of the baffle 36, and the exhaust hole 37 is provided with a second pressure valve 38. Through the baffle 36, the gas delivered by the air pump 18 can pass through the ventilation cloth 195, and through the exhaust hole 37 and the second pressure valve 38, the gas that cannot be discharged in time can be discharged when the soil layer is relatively compact.

[0037] One end of the three-way pipe 15 is fixedly connected to a diverter pipe 20, and the diverter pipe 20 is equipped with a third normally closed solenoid valve 21. The end of the diverter pipe 20 is fixedly connected to a ring pipe 22, and the ring pipe 22 and the monitoring pipe section 5 are jointly and fixedly connected to multiple friction detection mechanisms 23. Each friction detection mechanism 23 includes a connecting pipe 231 fixedly inserted into the outer wall of the ring pipe 22. The monitoring pipe section 5 has an air chamber 232 fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 231, and a third piston 233 is slidably installed inside the air chamber 232. A horizontal push rod 234 is fixedly installed at the end of the third piston 233, and a second spring 235 is fixedly installed between the third piston 233 and the air chamber 232. A horizontal push groove 236 is opened on the outer wall of the monitoring pipe section 5, and a horizontal push block 237 is slidably installed inside the horizontal push groove 236. The horizontal push block 237 is located at... The end of the horizontal push rod 234 is fixedly installed, and the wall of the horizontal push groove 236 is fixedly equipped with a second pressure switch 238, which is electrically connected to the microcontroller 26. The side wall of the air chamber 232 is provided with a slow-release hole 239. After the moving contact of the second pressure switch 238 is squeezed and closed, the microcontroller 26 can receive the electrical signal of the second pressure switch 238. At this time, the remote alarm 27 can issue a corresponding alarm signal. When people receive the alarm signal, it means that the soil friction is small. If the alarm signal is not received within the specified time, it means that the soil friction is large and timely adjustment should be made, such as setting the jacking pressure. After the friction detection is completed, the slow-release hole 239 can discharge the excess gas inside the air chamber 232, so that the third piston 233 can move back to its original position under the action of the second spring 235.

[0038] The upper ends of the two side walls of the horizontal push block 237 are fixedly provided with shielding covers 29, and the two groove walls of the horizontal push groove 236 are provided with storage grooves 30 that match the shielding covers 29. Through the shielding covers 29, soil and other objects can be prevented from entering the interior of the horizontal push groove 236 as much as possible.

[0039] A residence settlement detection mechanism 24 is provided on the jet hemisphere 11. The residence settlement detection mechanism 24 includes a fixed rod 241 fixedly installed on the top of the jet hemisphere 11, and the interior of the fixed rod 241 is hollow. A fourth piston 242 is slidably installed inside the fixed rod 241. A connecting rod 243 is fixedly installed on the top of the fourth piston 242 and slidably connected to the top of the fixed rod 241. A connecting frame 244 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod 243, and an insulating rotating plate 245 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting frame 244 through a pin. A conductive rod 246 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the insulating rotating plate 245. An insulating round block 247 is fixedly inserted into the side wall of the connecting frame 244, and the side wall of the insulating round block 247 is fixedly installed. Two symmetrically arranged arc-shaped conductive strips 248 are fixedly provided. An electromagnetic switch 249 electrically connected to the conductive rod 246 is fixedly provided on the lower inner side of the fixed rod 241. The electromagnetic switch 249 is electrically connected to the microcontroller 26. After the conductive rod 246 rotates and contacts either of the arc-shaped conductive strips 248, it can connect the electromagnetic switch 249 to the external power supply, thereby energizing the electromagnetic switch 249. At this time, under the action of its own internal electromagnetic element, the moving contact can be attracted. The moving contact of the electromagnetic switch 249 can also move and close under the squeezing action of the fourth piston 242. After the squeezing force is removed, it can rebound and reset under the action of its own elastic element.

[0040] A vent pipe 31 is fixedly inserted into the lower side wall of the fixed rod 241. The vent pipe 31 is equipped with an electric control valve 32 and a first pressure valve 33. The first pressure valve 33 is located inside the electric control valve 32. Support rods 34 are fixedly connected to both sides of the end face of the fixed rod 241. The ends of the two support rods 34 are fixedly connected to a limit frame 35. The limit frame 35 is sleeved on the outside of the insulating rotating plate 245. Through the limit frame 35, the insulating rotating plate 245 can be limited and blocked during the follow-up monitoring process to prevent the insulating rotating plate 245 from rotating arbitrarily and affecting the normal contraction of the top rod 10. After all the prefabricated pipe sections 4 are buried, the electric control valve 32 is activated. At this time, the air pressure inside the fixed rod 241 is relatively large in the initial state. At this time, the first pressure valve 33 can be opened, thereby venting some of the excess air inside the fixed rod 241. At this time, the connecting frame 244 and the insulating rotating plate 245 can be moved down, thereby allowing the insulating rotating plate 245 to be released from the limitation of the limit frame 35.

[0041] The operating principle of the present invention is described as follows: After the basic structure such as the starting well 1 is constructed, the cutterhead assembly 2 is used to excavate the side wall of the starting well 1. After excavating a certain distance, the first monitoring pipe section 5 is installed. Then, each prefabricated pipe section 4 is installed in sequence. In conjunction with the pipe jacking mechanism 3, multiple prefabricated pipe sections 4 are jacked in sequence. A monitoring pipe section 5 is connected in series between every three prefabricated pipe sections 4.

[0042] During the pipe jacking process, during the installation of prefabricated pipe section 4, the air pump 18 and the second normally closed solenoid valve 17 on the air inlet pipe 16 inside the already installed monitoring pipe section 5 are manually activated by the microcontroller 26. At this time, the air pump 18 delivers air into the cylindrical cavity 7 of the cylinder 6 through the housing 14, the three-way pipe 15, and the air inlet pipe 16. Under the action of the gas, the first piston 9 can be pushed upward, which in turn drives the jet hemisphere 11 to move upward and insert into the soil layer after excavation via the push rod 10. When the jet hemisphere 11 cannot move, as the air pressure inside the cylindrical cavity 7 increases, the second piston 132 can be squeezed downward until the second piston 132 touches the first pressure switch 134. At this time, the first normally closed solenoid valve 17 on the cylinder 6 is activated. When valve 12 is opened, the gas delivered by air pump 18 is ejected from the jet hemisphere 11 through cylinder 6. The gas then flows into the gaps in the soil layer. If the gaps in the soil layer are large and loose, the outflow speed of the gas increases. At this time, the air delivered by air pump 18 can rotate the rotating rod 193 through the ventilation cloth block 195 inside the frame plate 194 due to the increased flow rate. When the soil layer is too loose and the gaps are large, the gas flow rate is too fast. At this time, the angle of rotation of the rotating rod 193 can be increased, which can drive the trigger rod 196 to squeeze the trigger plate 198, and then close the moving contact of the trigger switch 197. At this time, the microcontroller 26 receives the electrical signal of the trigger switch 197, which can enable the remote alarm 27 to perform remote alarm operation.

[0043] After the moving contact of the first pressure switch 134 engages, the third normally closed solenoid valve 21 on the diversion pipe 20 can be energized for a delay of 3 minutes via the time relay group 28, and the second normally closed solenoid valve 17 can be de-energized after 3 minutes. That is, after 3 minutes, the third normally closed solenoid valve 21 can be energized. At this time, part of the gas delivered by the air pump 18 flows out through the diversion pipe 20 and enters the interior of multiple air chambers 232 through the ring pipe 22 and multiple connecting pipes 231. As the pressure inside the air chamber 232 increases, it can push the third piston 233 to move, thereby pushing the horizontal push block 237 to move via the horizontal push rod 234. Since the horizontal push block 237 is in contact with the soil layer, under the action of friction, it can... To slow down the movement of the horizontal push block 237, under normal friction, the horizontal push block 237 can smoothly contact the second pressure switch 238 under the pushing action of the third piston 233. After the moving contact of the second pressure switch 238 is squeezed and closed, it can give an electrical signal to the microcontroller 26, so that the remote alarm 27 can perform remote alarm operation. If the friction is large, the resistance of the soil layer to the horizontal push block 237 is large. At this time, the movement speed of the horizontal push block 237 is slow. Therefore, if the personnel do not receive the alarm signal sent by the remote alarm 27 after the microcontroller 26 is manually started for 6 minutes, it indicates that the friction of the soil layer is large and timely adjustment should be made.

[0044] After all the precast pipe sections 4 are installed, the air pumps 18 and the second normally closed solenoid valve 17 are manually controlled by the microcontroller 26 for 3 minutes. At this time, under the action of the first piston 9, the fixed rod 241 and the connecting frame 244 can be pushed into the soil layer through the push rod 10 and the air jet hemisphere 11. Under the action of the air pressure inside the circular cavity 7, the fixed rod 241 and the connecting frame 244 can be kept inside the soil layer. Then, the electric control valve 32 on the vent pipe 31 is activated. Under the action of the air pressure inside the fixed rod 241, the first pressure valve 33 can be opened. At this time, some of the air inside the fixed rod 241 is discharged, and the fourth piston 242 moves down. At this time, the connecting rod 243, the connecting frame 244 and the insulating rotating plate 245 can move down. At this time, since the limitation of the limit frame 35 is no longer present, the insulating rotating plate 245 can rotate freely. If the soil layer settles, the fourth piston 242 will be pushed down by the settlement pressure until it touches the moving contact of the electromagnetic switch 249. At this time, the moving contact of the electromagnetic switch 249 will close under the external pressure. After receiving the electrical signal from the electromagnetic switch 249, the microcontroller 26 can control the remote alarm 27 to issue an alarm signal. At the same time, if the soil layer settles laterally, the insulating rotating plate 245 can be rotated by a certain angle. This will cause the conductive rod 246 to rotate. When the insulating rotating plate 245 deflects at a large angle, the conductive rod 246 will contact one of the arc-shaped conductive strips 248. At this time, the electromagnetic switch 249 will be energized and the moving contact will be actively attracted by the internal electromagnetic components. Thus, the microcontroller 26 can also control the remote alarm 27 to issue an alarm signal.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
