Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the fields of water conservancy and municipal technology, and specifically relates to a construction method for pipe and pipe gallery joints. Background Technology

[0002] Precast concrete pipes typically employ three connection methods: spigot and socket joints, tongue and groove joints, and plain joints. In pressurized water transmission projects in water conservancy and municipal engineering, precast concrete pipe joints generally use spigot and socket joints with rubber rings for water sealing. The spigot and socket precast concrete pipe joint is sealed with a rubber sealing ring, employing a dovetail self-sealing structure for water sealing. The installation of the rubber ring in spigot and socket joints requires extremely precise control; any deviation can easily lead to leakage.

[0003] The existing precast concrete pipe joint technology in water conservancy and municipal engineering pressurized water transmission projects has many problems: First, the quality of pipe materials and rubber waterstops is poor. Pipe materials have cracks or localized loose concrete, resulting in poor pressure resistance and impermeability, making them prone to breakage and leakage. Second, the surface smoothness and flatness of the concrete at the spigot and socket are poor, making the sealing surface very rough and difficult to achieve a tight seal with the rubber ring, easily leading to leakage. Third, large deviations in pipe diameter make installation prone to misalignment, and the rubber waterstop may have reduced diameter, air holes, or cracks, causing leakage at the joint after pipe connection. Fourth, the rubber ring at the spigot and socket is often twisted or mispositioned, resulting in insufficient insertion depth and easy leakage at the pipe joint. Fifth, pipe alignment is difficult during on-site installation, and the lack of a positioning groove for the rubber ring makes it easy to be squeezed out, leading to insufficient installation accuracy and leakage. Some pipes may not show leaks during installation but will leak over time. Therefore, under current circumstances, for larger diameter, higher flow rate pressurized water transmission, precast concrete pipes are generally not used; instead, more expensive steel pipes are employed.

[0004] Existing precast reinforced concrete pipe joints for pressurized water transmission projects suffer from quality control difficulties and are prone to leakage. The purpose of this invention is to overcome these shortcomings and provide a pipe joint construction method that utilizes a flat-joint strip copper sheet water-stop device for precast reinforced concrete circular pipe joints, which is cost-effective, easy and quick to construct, of high quality, durable, and leak-proof. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a construction method for pipe and pipe gallery joints to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a construction method for pipe and pipe gallery joints, comprising the following steps:

[0007] S1. Purchase copper sheets according to specifications and process them to manufacture Type A and Type B waterstops;

[0008] S2. Type A waterstop is processed into Type A copper rings by pressure treatment at the precast pipe factory;

[0009] S3. Construction of precast pipe type A copper ring: Pour the pipe concrete in the usual way, pre-embed one end of the type A copper ring in the concrete at both ends of the pipe, after the pipe concrete is poured and the curing period is over, remove the ring mold, bury one end of the type A copper ring in the joint concrete, and expose one end of the type A copper ring outside the joint concrete.

[0010] S4. Type B waterstop is processed and pressed into a Type B copper ring at the pipe joint inside the pipeline laying construction site;

[0011] S5. Set up a joint water-stop device: The pipe joint water-stop welding method is adopted. Type A copper ring - Type B copper ring - Type A copper ring are welded in sequence. After the welding is completed, an integral strip copper sheet water-stop device for the flat interface of the pipe joint is formed, which is the joint water-stop device.

[0012] S6. Joint sealing device protection: Inside the pipe joint seam, the outer wall of the copper sheet is embedded with asphalt mortar flexible filler, and the inner wall is sealed with asphalt fine stone concrete.

[0013] S7. Pressure test: After the pipe joints are installed, the pipes are pressure tested in sections. After the pressure test is passed, the trench is backfilled and the pipe laying is completed.

[0014] Preferably, the method for processing the Type A waterstop in S2 into a Type A copper ring by pressure forming at the precast pipe factory is as follows: during the installation of the precast pipe mold, one end of the processed strip-shaped steel sheet is fixed to the inner wall of the annular mold at both ends of the pipe, and the two ends of the Type A waterstop are welded into a circle to obtain the Type A copper ring. For pipes with smaller diameters, the same method can be used on the outer wall of the pipe joint.

[0015] Preferably, in step S3, pre-embedding one end of the type A copper ring in the concrete at both ends of the pipe and pouring it in also includes: embedding to a depth of 100mm, cutting and folding the end into a fishtail shape at 50mm intervals in the circumferential direction, and exposing 30mm of one end of the type A copper ring outside the joint concrete.

[0016] Preferably, the method for processing and pressing the Type B waterstop strip into a Type B copper ring at the pipe joint during pipeline laying is as follows: After trench excavation, the pipeline is laid, and the prefabricated pipeline is placed in the trench, centered, leveled, and straightened; a welder enters the placed pipeline and overlaps the processed strip-shaped copper sheet with the Type A rings at both ends of the pipe joint, welding the overlap to obtain the Type B copper ring. For pipelines with smaller diameters where entry is not possible, the same method can be used on the outer wall of the pipe joint.

[0017] Preferably, in the S5 pipeline laying process, 3-5 sections of pipeline are laid at a time. After centering, leveling, and straightening, the pipeline joint width is controlled to be 30mm, with an error range of ±5mm.

[0018] Preferably, the processed strip copper sheet in S4 is a strip copper sheet with a U-shaped middle, which is formed by conversion and processing, with a width of 120mm and a circumferential circumference determined according to the pipe diameter. The U-shaped copper sheet has a semi-circular arc in the middle of its width direction with a diameter of 20mm, and two flat wings with a width of 50mm each.

[0019] Preferably, the copper sheet in S1 conforms to the national standard GB / T2059-2008, has a thickness of 1-2 mm, a tensile strength of not less than 205 MPa, and an elongation of not less than 20%.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0021] (1) The flat-interface integral strip copper sheet water-stopping device and its pipe joint method created by the present invention can be used for long-distance pressure water transmission in precast reinforced concrete pipeline projects. The pipe joint will not leak, effectively solving the problem of water leakage in precast reinforced concrete pipe joints.

[0022] (2) The flat-interface integral strip copper sheet water-stop device in this invention has a large adaptability to the expansion and contraction deformation caused by uneven settlement of the pipeline foundation and temperature stress. Under normal circumstances, if the foundation is unevenly settled and the expansion and contraction deformation is within 20mm, the copper sheet water-stop device will not be damaged and the pipeline joint will not leak. Thus, it can adapt to the large expansion and contraction deformation caused by uneven settlement of the foundation and temperature stress.

[0023] (3) The flat joint pipe production method used in this invention has simpler tools and molds, simplified steel bar processing and installation procedures, lower production costs, and more convenient transportation.

[0024] (4) The precast reinforced concrete pipe with flat interface integral strip copper sheet water-stop device is used in this invention. It can adapt to certain errors during installation, so that the pipe joint installation is more convenient and the installation cost is lower.

[0025] (5) The precast reinforced concrete pipe with flat interface integral strip copper sheet water-stopping device has a long service life of 50-70 years, and the cost is 30-40% lower than that of steel pipe, cast iron pipe and PE pipe. In addition, its operation and maintenance costs are also low, thus saving costs. Attached Figure Description
