[0019] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a mud and water casing joint for synchronous connection of the present invention is composed of an outer casing 1, an inner casing 2, a cover plate 3, a base plate 4, etc. to form a reversing casing joint. The reversing casing joint is a cylindrical structure of a group of concentric casings and a horizontal working structure.

[0021] Three pipe connections are arranged on the cylindrical surface of the outer sleeve 1, two of which are opposite connections 1-1, and the upper one is an oblique connection 1-2. Front and rear flange ring plates are arranged at both ends of the outer sleeve 1.

[0022] Polytetrafluoroethylene is laid on the cylindrical surface of the inner sleeve 2, and a through pipe opening 2-1 is set. The inner sleeve 2 can be rotated at a fixed angle to conduct two sets of channels respectively, corresponding to the pipe opening of the outer sleeve 1. The front and rear end faces of the inner sleeve 2 are closed, and the outer side of the front end face has an output shaft 2-2, which extends out of the outer sleeve 1, and its outer end is provided with a square shaft section and a through hole.

[0023] The cover plate 3 is located outside the front flange plate of the outer sleeve 1, and is bolted to the outer sleeve 1, and a sealing auxiliary is provided on the connection surface. A through hole is provided in the center of the cover plate 3, and is rotatably matched with the outlet shaft of the inner sleeve 2, and a sealing auxiliary is provided on the matching surface.

[0024] The base plate 4 is located outside the rear flange plate of the outer sleeve 1 and is connected to the outer sleeve 1 by bolts, and a sealing auxiliary part is provided on the connection surface.

[0025] The reversing sleeve joint is connected with the through pipe by a quick-connect clamp to form a pipe section of standard length. The reversing sleeve joint can switch two flow channels, and cooperate with the switching of the two flow channels of the modified pipe joint to complete the switching of the muddy water flow channel, so that when the pipe joint is connected, there is always one channel that is connected, and the pipe joint operation can be carried out at the pipeline that is not connected.

[0026] This embodiment uses the illustrated structure as an example to illustrate the present invention.

[0027] The mud-water casing joint of the present invention is connected to the front end of the mud-water pipe of the slurry inlet and outlet pipeline of the mud-water shield machine. When in use, the two groups of connecting ports of the modified connecting pipe are respectively connected to the connecting ports of the present invention, usually in the form of quick-connect clamps.

[0028] Normally, the horizontal flow is used as the normal flow channel, and the inner casing 2 is rotated so that it forms a horizontal flow channel with the outer casing 1 (see Figure 4 ), the slurry enters from the horizontal pipe mouth of the outer casing 1 and flows into the subsequent pipeline.

[0029] When the shield machine continues to advance to a length close to a section of the pipe, the inner casing 2 is rotated so that one side of the pipe opening is connected with the oblique upper pipe opening of the outer casing 1, and the other side of the pipe opening is connected with the subsequent horizontal pipe opening, forming an oblique turning flow channel (see Figure 5 ), and at the same time switch the flow channel of the takeover device, so that the inlet and outlet slurry enters from the oblique upper pipe opening of the outer casing 1 and flows into the subsequent pipeline. At this time, there is no slurry flowing into the horizontal channel inlet, and the quick-connect clamp can be disconnected and separated from the takeover device to carry out the takeover operation. The process is similar to the conventional method.
