Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of geotechnical engineering, and more particularly to a combined jacking iron for rectangular jacking pipes. Background Technology
[0002] Pipe jacking (also known as pipe jacking method) is a trenchless construction technique. The working principle involves using the jacking force of the main hydraulic cylinder in a pipe jacking machine to cut through the soil layer in front. The soil is then removed by a chuck, and as the pipe sections advance, the jacking section is completed. Pipe jacking machines are typically equipped with hydraulic jacks to propel the pipe forward. During the jacking process, the machine needs to overcome the resistance of the geological layers, applying sufficient pressure through the hydraulic jacks to ensure stable advancement. A jacking block is installed at the front end of the pipe jacking machine. This block acts as a buffer and balance between the jacking devices and the pipe segments, allowing the jacking force to be transmitted more evenly to the segments. This prevents localized stress concentration in the pipe segments during advancement, thus avoiding pipe section damage and improving the construction quality and efficiency of pipe jacking.
[0003] In existing technologies, due to the large weight and volume of the top iron, its transportation and installation are key issues that need to be addressed in pipe jacking construction. Patent CN201920864249.5 proposes a modular rectangular top iron, which can be assembled by moving steel columns, multiple sets of fixed steel columns, and bolts to fix the left and right top iron pieces. However, the structure disclosed in this patent has the drawbacks of an excessively large overall structure and weight of the top iron, and the inconvenience of disassembly and assembly via screws. This leads to safety hazards and a long construction period. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Purpose of the invention: The purpose of this invention is to provide a combined jacking iron for rectangular jacking pipes that has controllable overall quality, is easy to assemble, and has a short construction period.

Adjacent jacking iron blocks are detachably connected via corner connecting blocks. A quick-release device is installed in the cavity in the middle of each jacking iron block. Several connecting rods are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the quick-release device. The connecting rods are slidably disposed within the cavity of the jacking iron block. One end of the connecting rod is connected to the quick-release device, and the other end extends out of the inclined end face of the jacking iron block. Several connecting slots for inserting the connecting rods are provided on the corner connecting blocks.
[0006] Furthermore, the base top iron block includes a base lock cylinder groove, and the quick-release device includes a spherical lock cylinder body, which is rotatably disposed in the base lock cylinder groove, and the lock cylinder body is connected to the connecting rods on both sides respectively.
[0007] Furthermore, a locking operation handle is fixedly provided on the main body of the lock cylinder, and a basic locking groove is provided on the base top iron block for the locking operation handle to extend out.
[0008] Furthermore, the lock cylinder body contains several sets of reset springs, one end of which is fixedly connected to the locking operation handle. The lock cylinder body also contains several reset plates for rotating and pressing the reset springs. The base top iron block is provided with a base locking groove for limiting and locking the operation handle.
[0009] Furthermore, it also includes several extended top iron blocks, which are detachably connected to the left or right end of the base top iron block to increase the volume of the top iron. The extended top iron block is parallelogram-shaped, with an extended inclined surface at one end for connecting to the base top iron block or the extended top iron block, and a connecting inclined surface at the other end for connecting to the corner connecting block or the extended top iron block. The angles of the extended inclined surface and the connecting inclined surface correspond to the angles of the two inclined surfaces at the ends of the base top iron block, respectively. Several connecting rods are slidably arranged in the cavity of the extended top iron block, with one end of each connecting rod extending out of the connecting inclined surface. A quick-release device is provided in the cavity of the extended top iron block, and the quick-release device is connected to the other end of the connecting rod. Several connecting auxiliary rods are fixedly arranged on the connecting inclined surface. Several extension slots for inserting connecting rods and several extension auxiliary holes for inserting connecting auxiliary rods are provided on the extended inclined surface.
[0010] Furthermore, the extended top iron block includes an extended lock cylinder groove, and the quick-release device includes a spherical lock cylinder body, which is rotatably disposed within the extended lock cylinder groove, and the lock cylinder body is connected to connecting rods on both sides respectively.
[0011] Furthermore, a locking operation handle is fixedly provided on the main body of the lock cylinder, and an extension locking groove is provided on the extension top iron block for extending the locking operation handle.
[0012] Furthermore, the lock cylinder body contains several sets of reset springs, one end of which is fixedly connected to the locking operation handle. The lock cylinder body also contains several reset plates for rotating and pressing the reset springs. The extended top block is provided with an extended locking groove for limiting and locking the operation handle.
[0013] Furthermore, the cross-sections of the basic locking groove and the extended locking groove are arc-shaped, and the cross-section of the reset spring is arc-shaped.
[0014] Furthermore, several connecting auxiliary rods are fixedly installed on the inclined surfaces at both ends of the foundation top iron block, and connecting auxiliary holes for inserting the connecting auxiliary rods are provided on the corner connecting block.
[0015] Furthermore, the connecting rod includes a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod, wherein the first connecting rod is connected to the second connecting rod via a connecting spring.
[0016] Furthermore, the foundation top iron block is in the shape of an isosceles trapezoid.
[0017] Beneficial Effects: Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant advantages: 1. The present invention disassembles the top iron into four basic top iron blocks and several extension top iron blocks. The specifications and quantity of the basic top iron blocks and extension top iron blocks are designed as needed. When the basic top iron blocks and extension top iron blocks are in the disassembled state, the individual weight is relatively small, which is convenient for transportation, but the combined structure meets the construction requirements; 2. In the present invention, the basic top iron blocks and extension top iron blocks are detachably connected by inserting connecting rods into the corresponding connecting grooves. When disassembly is required, the protruding locking operating handle is disengaged from the corresponding basic locking groove or extension basic locking groove. Under the action of the reset spring, the connecting rod is reset, and the connecting rod pushes out the corresponding inclined surface to achieve quick disassembly. Therefore, the present invention is more convenient to assemble and disassemble than using screws, and can shorten the construction cycle. Attached Figure Description
