Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of pipeline repair, and relates to a pore cell with a negative Poisson's ratio effect, a pipeline internal support structure and a manufacturing method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Municipal pipelines are one of the important projects of urban infrastructure, among which drainage pipelines are mainly used for timely collection and discharge of domestic sewage, industrial wastewater and rainwater to ensure the environmental sanitation of the city and the safety of people's life and property. The drainage pipeline is generally made of concrete, metal or plastic. After the pipeline is used for a certain period of time, structural peeling may occur on the inner wall surface of the pipeline, causing the pipeline wall to thin out or even locally collapse, resulting in pipeline blockage and water leakage, which seriously affects the urban environmental sanitation and threatens the safety of life and property.

[0003] The cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) repair technology is a particularly important repair technology in the current trenchless pipeline repair technology. Its repair principle is: first, lay a soft tube soaked with resin into the pipeline to be repaired through the corresponding equipment, then bundle one end of the soft tube, and inflate from the other end of the soft tube to make the soft tube expand so that the outer wall of the soft tube is attached to the inner wall of the pipeline to be repaired, then put a chain of ultraviolet lamps into the expanded soft tube, and use the irradiation of the ultraviolet lamps to make the soft tube solidify, and finally form a new continuous pipeline with full structural strength inside the pipeline to be repaired. This repair technology has the advantages of fast construction speed, short construction period, no influence on the surrounding environment, continuous lining pipe and smooth surface, etc.

[0004] At present, the CIPP pipeline repair technology in China is gradually mature, but there are still many problems to be solved and breakthroughs to be made. On the one hand, most of the current domestic trenchless pipeline repair technologies use on-site pipeline material photocuring for repair and update, which is slow. Different 3D printing materials can make the printed objects exhibit different mechanical properties. These printed components with excellent mechanical properties have been applied in the fields of medical treatment, aerospace, sensors, etc. If the pipeline repair support structure is printed in advance through 3D printing technology, it can more accurately and quickly support and repair the local pipeline. On the other hand, the forming material stiffness value of the current trenchless repair technology for pipeline repair has been limited, and it is usually difficult to adjust its mechanical properties. Negative Poisson's ratio material belongs to metamaterial, which has the performance of lateral expansion under axial tension and lateral contraction under axial compression. Compared with positive Poisson's ratio material, negative Poisson's ratio material can exhibit better ductility and adjustability. Many pore structures with negative Poisson's ratio are used in the fields of medical treatment, aviation and safety protection. If prefabricated components with negative Poisson's ratio effect are used as the support structure of the repaired pipeline, the stiffness of the pipeline support can be adjusted. However, there is no report on the application of structures with negative Poisson's ratio effect in the field of pipeline repair. SUMMARY
