Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of exploration and engineering, and particularly relates to a karst pipeline slow-release plugging method. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of China's national economy, the pace of resource development and transportation infrastructure construction continues to accelerate, and the construction of underground projects in the fields of mines, water conservancy and hydropower, highways, railways and the like is increasing. China is vast in territory, and the geological and geomorphological conditions are complex and changeable. In the construction of underground projects in karst areas, large-scale sudden gushing disasters often occur, causing major safety accidents and adverse social impacts. In areas where karst is strongly developed, it is extremely difficult to control gushing disasters due to extremely complex geological conditions.

[0003] The grouting plugging method is one of the most common and effective treatment methods. The grouting material is injected into the rock-soil medium through various ways to reinforce the rock-soil body, complete the plugging of the gushing channel and improve the stability and impermeability of the rock-soil body. The basic principle is to expel air and water in the medium through the slurry, and after the slurry is coagulated, a dense reinforced body with certain strength is formed according to its own high strength and cementing properties to meet the strength requirements or water plugging requirements. According to the action mechanism, it can be divided into filling, permeation, compaction and splitting types, and according to the properties of the grouting material, it can be divided into cement-based slurry grouting and chemical slurry grouting.

[0004] However, due to the diversity and complexity of the rock-soil medium involved in underground engineering, the grouting reinforcement and water plugging effect is often restricted by the medium characteristics and geological conditions. In particular, in karst areas with extremely complex geological conditions, the existing grouting method is still difficult to solve the problem of plugging large-flow gushing in karst pipelines. In addition, due to the limited size of general exploration holes, it is often difficult to put large-diameter aggregates into the karst pipeline, and fine-particle aggregates are easily carried away by large-flow underground water, causing large-scale environmental impact and waste of grouting materials.

[0012] The step five: plugging device assembly and launching, refers to quickly assemble the plugging device composed of a plurality of slow-release capsules filled with slow-release grout, a plurality of buoyancy capsules filled with air, a flexible outer package filled with outer grout, and a traction rope, and launch them into the karst conduit along the drilling hole; the plurality of slow-release capsules filled with slow-release grout, refers to inject the slow-release grout with a predetermined mass W 缓释 into each of the plurality of slow-release capsules and seal them; the plurality of buoyancy capsules filled with air, refers to inject the air with a predetermined volume V 空气 into each of the plurality of buoyancy capsules and seal them; the flexible outer package filled with outer grout, refers to uniformly fix the plurality of slow-release capsules filled with slow-release grout and the plurality of buoyancy capsules filled with air in the flexible outer package by using a strap, and then inject the outer grout with a predetermined mass W 外 into the flexible outer package and seal it, the mass ratio of polyether polyol to toluene diisocyanate is 1:1.05; one end of the traction rope is fixed to the end of the plugging device, and the other end is fixed outside the drilling hole, the length is greater than the distance from the drilling hole to the karst conduit, which is used to pull the plugging device to prevent it from moving with the groundwater flow;

The same reference numerals appearing in the drawings of the present application represent the same features or parts, which can be applied to different embodiments.

[0030] Embodiment

[0031] Note: In order to adapt to the coagulation time T2, the water-soluble speed-controllable polyvinyl alcohol film is made for controlling T1, which is not the key innovative point of the technical solutions of the present application. The existing technology can be used, for example, but not limited to, CN2019105198011.

[0032] The required coagulation time T2 is designed according to the project situation and the investigation before implementation, and the mass ratio of polyether polyol to toluene diisocyanate can be adjusted. The mass ratio of the present embodiment is 1:1.05.

[0033] For example, the polyether polyol is polyether glycol 2000, and the toluene diisocyanate is toluene diisocyanate 2,4. Figure 1As shown, a method for slow-release sealing of karst pipelines is characterized by comprising eight steps: Step 1: drilling; Step 2: flexible outer wrapping fabrication; Step 3: capsule fabrication; Step 4: grout preparation; Step 5: sealing device assembly and deployment; Step 6: slow-release solidification of grout; Step 7: release of grouting blocks; Step 8: secondary grouting.

[0034] Step 1: Drilling, which refers to drilling in the karst area where grouting is planned, and retaining the drill hole 3 where the karst pipe 2 was detected for later sealing;

[0035] Step 2: Flexible outer wrapping fabrication, which refers to the fabrication of an expandable flexible outer wrapping 11 based on the dimensions and depth of the pre-sealed karst pipe 2. The flexible outer wrapping 11 is a columnar hollow flexible structure made of a 3.0mm thick high-elasticity rubber film. The flexible outer wrapping 11 can expand and deform. Before expansion, the diameter D1 is more than 5.0cm smaller than the diameter of the borehole 3. After expansion, the diameter D2 is more than 5.0cm larger than the minimum local diameter of the karst pipe 2. The volume expansion rate is greater than 10%, and the length L is generally selected as 2.0m.

[0036] Step 3: Capsule fabrication, which involves fabricating three sustained-release capsules 12 and two buoyancy capsules 13 and fixing them into the flexible outer casing 11. The three sustained-release capsules 12 are hollow ellipsoidal capsules with openings, made of 2mm thick polyvinyl alcohol film, and the dissolution time T1 of the sustained-release capsules 12 in water can be adjusted as needed. The two buoyancy capsules 13 are hollow ellipsoidal capsules with openings, made of 2mm soft plastic, and can be filled with air to provide buoyancy to the flexible outer casing 11, ensuring that the flexible outer casing 11 moves with the groundwater flow in the karst pipe 2 after the slurry solidifies.

[0037] Step 4: Grout preparation, which refers to preparing the outer grout 14 and the slow-release grout 15 according to the size of the flexible outer wrapper 11 and the setting time T2; the outer grout 14 is made of polyether polyol (YUKOL 5613 type) and water, and the slow-release grout 15 is made of toluene diisocyanate (KONNATE T-80 type). When the slow-release capsule 12 dissolves and releases the slow-release grout 15, the polyether polyol in the outer grout 14 and the toluene diisocyanate in the slow-release grout 15 mix and undergo an expansion and solidification reaction to form a high-strength sealing grout block;

[0038] Step 5: Assembly and deployment of the sealing device, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the sealing device 1, consisting of three slow-release capsules 12 filled with slow-release grout 15, two buoyancy capsules 13 filled with air 16, and a flexible outer casing 11 filled with external grout 14, and the traction rope 5, is quickly assembled and deployed along the borehole 3 to the karst conduit 2; the three slow-release capsules 12 filled with slow-release grout 15 are respectively injected with a predetermined mass W into each of the three slow-release capsules 12. 缓释The slow-release slurry 15 is sealed; two air-filled buoyancy capsules 13, indicating that a predetermined volume V will be released. 空气 Air 16 is injected into the buoyancy capsule 13 and sealed; the flexible outer wrapping 11 filled with outer slurry 14 refers to the three slow-release capsules 12 filled with slow-release slurry 15 and the two buoyancy capsules 13 filled with air 16 being evenly fixed inside the flexible outer wrapping 11 using straps, and then a predetermined mass W is injected into the flexible outer wrapping 11. 外 The external slurry 14 is sealed; one end of the traction rope 5 is fixed to the end of the sealing device 1, and the other end is fixed outside the drill hole 3. The length is greater than the distance from the drill hole 3 to the karst pipe 2 by 3.0 to 5.0 m, and it is used to pull the sealing device 1 to prevent it from moving with the groundwater flow.

[0039] Step Six: Slow-release coagulation of the slurry, such as... Figure 4 As shown, after the assembled sealing device 1 enters the karst pipe 2, it floats in the groundwater flow under the traction of the traction rope 5. The slow-release capsule 12 gradually dissolves under the soaking action of water in the external grout. After the dissolution time T1 is reached, the internal slow-release grout 15 is released. After the slow-release grout 15 meets the external grout 14, the polyether polyol and toluene diisocyanate undergo an expansion and solidification reaction to form a high-strength grout block.

[0040] Step 7: Release the grouting blocks, such as Figure 5 As shown, after the high-strength grouting block solidifies, the traction rope 5 is cut, and the grouting block will move with the groundwater flow. When it moves to a relatively narrow part of the karst pipe 2, it will block the karst pipe 2. The water flow rate in the karst pipe 2 is detected. If the flow rate is greater than 1 / 10 of the original flow rate, the operation of steps two to seven is repeated.

[0041] Step 8: Secondary grouting, such as Figure 6 As shown, when the water flow rate in the karst conduit 2 exceeds the predetermined value, secondary grouting is carried out along the drill hole 3 to form a secondary grouting solid 4 until the water flow is completely blocked.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, the sealing device 1 includes three slow-release capsules 12 filled with slow-release slurry 15, two buoyancy capsules 13 filled with air 16, and a flexible outer wrapping 11 filled with outer slurry 14; the three slow-release capsules 12 filled with slow-release slurry 15 and the two buoyancy capsules 13 filled with air 16 are fixed inside the flexible outer wrapping 11; one end of the traction rope 5 is fixed to the end of the flexible outer wrapping 11 and is used to pull the flexible outer wrapping 11 to prevent it from moving with the groundwater flow.

[0043] Based on the above innovative approach, this application provides a slow-release sealing method for karst pipelines, the workflow of which is as follows:

[0044] First, drilling is carried out in the area where grouting is to be carried out, and the drilling hole 3 where the karst pipeline 2 is detected is reserved for later plugging; then, according to the size and depth of the pre-plugged karst pipeline 2, a flexible outer wrapping 11 is made of high-elasticity rubber film; three slow-release capsules 12 are made of polyvinyl alcohol film, and two buoyancy capsules 13 are made of soft plastic and fixed in the flexible outer wrapping 11; according to the size and setting time T2 of the flexible outer wrapping 11, the outer slurry 14 and the slow-release slurry 15 are configured; the plugging device 1 composed of three slow-release capsules 12 filled with slow-release slurry 15, two buoyancy capsules 13 filled with air 16, and the flexible outer wrapping 11 filled with outer slurry 14 is quickly assembled; one end of the traction rope 5 is fixed to the end of the plugging device 1, and the other end is fixed outside the drilling hole 3; the plugging device 1 is put into the karst pipeline 2 along the drilling hole 3; after the assembled plugging device 1 enters the karst pipeline 2, it floats in the underground water flow under the traction of the traction rope 5, the slow-release capsules 12 gradually dissolve under the soaking action of water in the outer slurry, and the internal slow-release slurry 15 is released after the dissolution time T1 is reached, the polyether polyol in the outer slurry 14 and the toluene diisocyanate in the slow-release slurry 15 mix and expand and solidify, and a high-strength grouting block is formed after the setting time T2 is reached; after the high-strength grouting block is set, the traction rope 5 is cut, and the grouting block will move with the underground water flow, and when it moves to a relatively narrow place in the karst pipeline 2, it will plug the karst pipeline 2; the water flow in the karst pipeline 2 is detected, if the water flow is greater than 1 / 10 of the original water flow, the above operation is repeated, if the water flow is less than or equal to 1 / 10 of the original water flow, secondary grouting is carried out along the drilling hole 3, and a secondary grouting reinforcement body 4 is formed until the water flow is completely plugged.

[0045] Compared with the prior art, the technical scheme provided by the present application has the following beneficial effects: the present application relates to the fields of exploration technology and engineering technology, and can quickly and effectively plug the karst pipeline 2 with high flow rate and large flow rate of underground water, and reduce the harm caused by water gushing to rock and soil excavation and ore body mining.

[0046] The above description is only a description of the preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not any limitation on the scope of the present application. Any modification or modification made by any person skilled in the art according to the above disclosed technical content shall be regarded as an equivalent effective embodiment, and shall fall within the scope of protection of the technical scheme of the present application.
