[0002] Pipe jacking is a trenchless construction method currently in use. It can cross existing roads, railways, rivers, underground pipelines, underground structures and cultural relics without excavating the surface layer. Pipe jacking has the following advantages: avoiding excavation of urban roads, reducing a large amount of earthwork, reducing demolition and resettlement, saving construction land, reducing interference with the surrounding environment, and not interrupting ground traffic and logistics transportation activities. In recent years, it has been widely used in urban underground space development, underground railway rail transit construction and municipal tunnel projects.

[0009] Furthermore, the driving system is provided with an electric servo loading system, which changes the excavation power of the pipe jacking machine by adjusting the input power through the control terminal, thereby changing the jacking state of the rear pipe jacking section.

The pre-jacking channel of the jacking machine 6 and the rear jacking pipe section 9 is the channel between the two circular openings in the model soil 2, and a plurality of soil pressure sensors 5 are installed around the pre-jacking channel; the monitoring system also includes a surface deformation monitoring system 3 arranged on the top of the test box 1 and a stress monitoring system 4 arranged on the side wall of the test box 1.

[0024] The present invention is used to simulate the construction of pipe jacking, analyze the influence of different mud ratios used for grouting of friction-reducing mud during pipe jacking on the jacking force, the influence on the ground deformation, the influence on the surrounding rock stress and the influence on the soil pressure. For example, in the pipe jacking construction of subway communication channels in offshore water-rich soft strata, due to the lack of sufficient reference, a simulation test is required. In the present invention, the pipe jacking machine 6 controls the motor 63 through the drive system 62 to provide power, driving the rear pipe jacking section 9 to jack forward, replacing the double-tube method used in the traditional pipe jacking test.

The pipe jacking machine 6 is provided with a cutter head 61, and the driving system 62 in the pipe jacking machine 6 is connected to the control terminal 7.

[0028] Furthermore, the driving system 62 is provided with an electric servo loading system, which changes the excavation power of the pipe jacking machine 6 by adjusting the input power through the control terminal 7, thereby changing the jacking state of the rear pipe jacking section 9.

[0029] The present invention provides a test method for a pipe jacking test device, comprising the following steps: Step S1: The pipe jacking machine 6, the dynamometer 8, and the rear pipe jacking section 9 are sequentially connected by connecting bolts 64, and placed on the pipe jacking bracket 10; Step S2: pouring friction-reducing mud into the grouting device 13; Step S3: Control the drive system 62 at the control terminal 7, so that the drive system 62 drives the cutter head 61 to rotate and cut forward, and provides a pulling force for the rear jacking pipe, drives the rear jacking pipe section 9 to push forward, and performs artificial slag removal and injection of friction-reducing mud at the same time; Step S4: Continue to push the pipe jacking machine 6 and continue to inject the friction-reducing mud until the rear pipe jacking section 9 is completely pushed into the test box 1, during which the data changes of the dynamometer 8, the earth pressure sensor 5, the surface deformation monitoring system 3 and the stress monitoring system 4 are recorded.

[0030] According to the data during the jacking process of the pipe jacking machine 6, data support is provided for the pipe jacking construction.

[0031] Furthermore, step S5 is also included: repeating steps S1 to S4, adjusting the input power through the control terminal 7 to change the excavation power of the drive system 62, changing the jacking state of the rear jacking pipe section 9, using different friction-reducing muds, repeating multiple times, and testing the friction-reducing effect of the friction-reducing mud, and the changes of soil pressure, surface deformation, and surrounding rock stress over time.
