Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of underwater bridge concrete pier demolition, and in particular to an underwater concrete pier demolition high-efficiency demolition device and method based on a water jet with an air ring. Background Art

[0002] In the construction of bridge reconstruction, structural repair, etc., such as the demolition of concrete piers, underwater construction is often involved. Due to the influence of the underwater environment, the implementation of the operation is difficult. As an efficient crushing technology, high-pressure water jet crushing technology has been widely used in projects such as rock cutting and road pavement demolition. Among them, high-pressure water jet underwater in-situ cutting and removal of concrete has also been successfully applied. However, the special underwater environment determines the complexity of underwater construction. Underwater cutting has its unique theoretical basis and practical methods. The energy of traditional water jets decays rapidly in a submerged environment and cannot efficiently break concrete. Therefore, how to concentrate the jet in the core area and alleviate the impact energy attenuation outside the core section of the jet, so as to form an effective cutting of the underwater concrete body, there are few successful cases in China so far. At present, the demolition construction of underwater concrete piers in engineering mainly uses high-pressure water jet devices, including high-pressure water jet generators, water control stations, and underwater equipment. The high-pressure water jet is sprayed by the traditional nozzle in the underwater equipment to achieve the removal of the target. Due to the rapid energy decay of traditional jets in complex underwater environments, high-pressure water jets are unable to effectively cut and destroy demolition objects, the jet energy utilization rate is low, and they may even fail to operate normally when the underwater environment is too harsh.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new method and device for cutting underwater concrete piers with high-pressure water jets, so as to reduce the requirements for high-pressure jet devices, improve construction efficiency, reduce the construction cost of underwater operations, and ensure construction quality.
