The quality of the slurry is monitored using a specific gravity meter until it meets the standards, at which point the slurry is replaced. The system includes components such as a slurry outlet hose, a slurry suction steel pipe, a counterweight, an annular air vent belt, and an air compressor.
It achieves fully automated and standardized grout replacement, reducing the risk of mud inclusion and leakage in wall joints, and improving the quality of trench sections and construction efficiency.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of slurry replacement for underground continuous wall construction, and particularly relates to an air-lift reverse circulation automatic slurry replacement device using rigid-flexible combined slurry pipes. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, the development and construction of underground space in soft soil central urban areas are still booming. With the process of high-quality urban development, the quality and safety of foundation pits and the protection standards of surrounding environment are continuously improved, and it is required that underground enclosure and main structure have no leakage. However, the development of underground space often cannot do without enclosure construction, and the high-quality development of enclosure construction has become an inevitable demand of the industry.
[0003] In the current enclosure construction, the underground continuous wall with joint forms such as rubber water stop belt joint, lock pipe joint or cross steel plate joint all focus on the core point of no leakage. At present, the common difficulty of construction is the replacement of slurry in the groove section. As a crucial procedure, the quality of slurry replacement is directly related to the stability of groove wall, the thickness of sediment, and further affects the quality of concrete pouring. At present, there are many problems in slurry replacement, such as non-standard suction force, insufficient replacement of slurry at the bottom of the groove, unstable specific gravity of slurry after replacement, etc., which directly leads to the fact that impurities in the lower part of the groove section are rolled into the groove section with concrete during the concrete pouring process, resulting in wall body, wall joint and other problems, and finally leading to leakage. SUMMARY
[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide an automatic slurry replacement device and method using rigid-flexible combined slurry pipes. The poor slurry at the bottom of the groove is extracted by the principle of air-lift reverse circulation, and the extracted slurry is repeatedly circulated and measured to standard until the quality of the slurry in the groove section, especially the slurry at the bottom of the groove, meets the standard, and the replacement of slurry is completed. This provides favorable conditions for the quality of the wall.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution of the present application is as follows: an automatic slurry replacement device using rigid-flexible combined slurry pipes, comprising a slurry outlet hose, a slurry suction steel pipe, a counterweight, a circular filter hole, an annular air hole belt, a compressed air delivery hose, an air compressor, a specific gravity detector, and a slurry storage tank. The slurry suction steel pipe is provided with a counterweight and a circular filter hole at the bottom, an annular air hole belt at the lower part, and a slurry outlet hose fixedly connected at the top through a fixing bolt.
[0006] Further, the slurry outlet hose and the compressed air delivery hose located at the opening of the underground continuous wall groove section are fixed on a sliding tray, and the sliding tray is installed on the sliding rails on both sides of the opening of the underground continuous wall groove section.
[0007] Further, the top of the slurry suction steel pipe is provided with lifting ports on both sides.
[0008] A construction method of an automatic slurry changing device using a combined rigid-flexible slurry pipe is as follows:
[0009] Step 1: connect the slurry outlet hose with the slurry suction steel pipe and fix it with a fixing bolt to ensure effective connection;
[0010] Step 2: install a counterweight at the bottom of the slurry suction steel pipe to ensure that the slurry suction steel pipe can smoothly sink to the bottom of the groove;
[0011] Step 3: set multiple rows of circular filter holes at the lower part of the slurry suction steel pipe along the pipe side to filter large impurities at the bottom of the groove section and prevent the slurry pipe from being blocked during the slurry outlet process;
[0012] Step 4: install an annular air hole belt at the bottom of the steel pipe and connect the compressed air delivery hose with the annular air hole belt;
[0013] Step 6: hoist the combined slurry pipe through the hoisting opening and place it at the bottom of the groove section, pass the slurry outlet hose and the compressed air delivery hose into the sliding tray and place it on the sliding rail;
[0014] Step 7: connect the compressed air delivery hose with the air compressor to provide continuous and stable compressed gas for subsequent slurry changing;
[0015] Step 8: connect the slurry outlet hose with the self-adaptive slurry suction pump and connect the slurry suction pump with the mud specific gravity detector, uniformly discharge the mud into the mud background slurry storage tank after detection;
[0016] Step 9: start the air compressor and the self-adaptive slurry suction pump, simultaneously input fresh slurry at the top of the groove, observe the discharge state of the initial bottom mud, measure the mud indexes, record the core indexes of specific gravity, viscosity and sand content, uniformly translate the combined slurry pipe on the sliding rail, simultaneously record the slurry outlet indexes, until the slurry outlet indexes tend to be stable, recheck the bottom mud, until the slurry indexes are qualified, the standardized slurry changing is completed, and all the above devices are immediately disassembled for the next groove section.
