Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of underground tunnel construction, and in particular to a winter construction method for a mud-water balanced pipe jacking tunnel in severely cold areas. Background Art

[0002] During construction projects, underground tunnels (including pipelines) require construction. Existing tunnel construction methods include shield tunneling, blasting, open-cut tunneling, and pipe jacking. Pipe jacking is a trenchless construction method, a technique for laying pipelines or tunnels without or with minimal excavation. Pipe jacking involves using the jacking force generated by jacking equipment within a working pit to overcome friction between the pipeline and the surrounding soil, pushing the pipeline into the soil according to the designed slope and removing the soil. After one pipe section is pushed into the soil, the second section is lowered and continues. The principle is to use the thrust of the main jacking cylinder and other components such as pipe and relay rooms to push the pipe section or tunnel boring machine (pipe jacking machine) from the launch well through the soil and hoist it into the receiving well. The pipeline follows the pipe jacking machine and is buried between the two pits. Pipe jacking is the optimal construction method when open-cut construction is impractical due to interfering structures on the ground and the tunnel is small (pipe jacking is not suitable for rock locations). There are the following shortcomings in pipe jacking construction: when constructing in winter in extremely cold areas, the rent-reducing slurry (which can be mud) used to reduce resistance is easily frozen and causes loss of fluidity, resulting in a sudden increase in jacking resistance, pipe jamming, or even inability to jack. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to provide a winter construction method for mud-water balance pipe jacking channels in severely cold regions, which can prevent the rent-reducing slurry from freezing on pipe joints, thereby solving the problem that the existing pipe jacking construction cannot be carried out in winter because the slurry is frozen.

[0004] The above technical problems are solved by the following technical solutions: a winter construction method for a mud-water balance jacking channel in a severely cold area, characterized in that it is completed by a jacking channel construction equipment; the jacking channel construction equipment includes a jacking machine, a horizontal jacking mechanism and a plurality of pipe sections that are sequentially connected together to form a channel, the pipe section includes an inner tube and a heat exchange outer tube that can be rotatably mounted on the inner tube, a heating chamber that is surrounded by the heat exchange outer tube and the heat exchange inner tube, the heating chamber is provided with a heating liquid inlet hole and a heating liquid outlet hole that pass through the inner circumference of the inner tube, the inner circumference of the outer tube is provided with a plurality of blades that extend radially along the circumference of the outer tube, the blades are evenly distributed along the circumference of the outer tube, the blades divide the heating chamber into a plurality of sealed chambers distributed along the circumference of the outer tube, when the liquid flows into the sealed chamber, the pressure generated at one end face of the sealed chamber along the circumference of the outer tube is less than the pressure generated at the other end face, the spacing between the heating liquid inlet hole and the heating liquid outlet hole along the circumference of the inner tube is L1, the length of the sealed chamber along the circumference of the inner tube is L2, L2<L1<2 L2; The specific construction process is as follows: First, the pipe jacking machine is placed into one end of the area where the pipeline needs to be formed to form a pipe segment installation hole for accommodating the pipe segment. Second, during the process of forming the pipe segment installation hole, the pipe segments are pushed into the pipe segment installation hole one by one through the horizontal jacking mechanism until all the pipe segments are installed. During the process of jacking the pipe segments, a rent-reducing slurry is injected between the pipe segment and the wall of the pipe segment installation hole. A heating liquid with a set pressure is input through the heating liquid inlet hole of the pipe segment entering the pipe segment installation hole to drive the outer pipe to rotate. Finally, the heating liquid is output from the heating liquid outlet hole. As the heating liquid flows through the heating chamber, the rent-reducing slurry is heated to prevent it from freezing on the outer pipe and interfering with the jacking of the pipe segment. This allows pipe jacking construction to be carried out even in low-temperature winter. The pipe segment will not be unable to be advanced due to freezing.

[0005] Preferably, one end surface of the sealing cavity along the circumference of the outer tube is a plane passing through the axis of the outer tube, and the other end surface is an inclined surface. A technical solution for driving the rotation by upper and lower pressure differences is provided.

[0006] Preferably, the outer peripheral surface of the outer tube is provided with a plurality of heat exchange fins distributed axially along the circumference of the outer tube, which can improve the effect of heating the rent reduction slurry to prevent freezing.

[0007] Preferably, a barb groove is formed between the heat exchange fin and the outer surface of the outer tube, and the barb groove is located at the rear end of the outer tube in the direction of rotation driven by the heating liquid, so as to more reliably ensure the reliability of the one-way driving of the outer tube when the heating liquid flows in.

[0008] Preferably, a sealing ring is further included. The body of the pipe jacking machine is provided with a reaming sleeve, the outer diameter of the reaming sleeve is larger than the outer diameter of the pipe segment, the outer diameter of the sealing end ring is larger than the outer diameter of the reaming sleeve, and the inner diameter is equal to the outer diameter of the pipe segment. The rear end of the pipe jacking machine is provided with a rent-reducing slurry input hole connected to the rear end face of the reaming sleeve. The sealing ring is pressed by the horizontal jacking mechanism on the inlet end of the pipe segment mounting hole to prevent the rent-reducing slurry from flowing out of the pipe segment mounting hole. This can compact the wall of the pipe segment mounting hole when the pipe jacking machine moves forward, thereby better preventing the rent-reducing slurry from spreading. The independent provision of the sealing end ring to prevent the rent-reducing slurry from flowing out can prevent the rent-reducing slurry from leaking during the process of adding pipe segments.

[0009] Preferably, the outlet end of the rent-reducing slurry input hole is located at the lower end of the reaming sleeve, which can more reliably prevent the pipe section from excessively sinking during the injection of the rent-reducing slurry.

The rear end of the pipe jacking machine is provided with a connecting support ring. The horizontal jacking mechanism includes a mounting seat, a pressing ring for pressing on the end face of the pipe segment, and a plurality of hydraulic cylinders. One end of the hydraulic cylinder is connected to the mounting seat, and the other end presses on the rear end of the pressing ring. The outer circumference of the front end of the pressing ring is provided with a small-diameter pressing ring section. The small-diameter pipe segment of the pipe segment at the front end is inserted into the connecting support ring, and the large-diameter pipe segment of the pipe segment at the rear end is sleeved on the small-diameter pressing ring section. Between adjacent pipe segments, the small-diameter pipe segment of the rear pipe segment is inserted into the large-diameter pipe segment of the front pipe segment. This can conveniently maintain the pipe segments suspended and centered.

[0012] Preferably, a small-diameter section of the reaming sleeve is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the rear end of the reaming sleeve, the outer diameter of which is larger than the outer diameter of the pipe segment. A grouting port is provided in the rear end of the pipe jacking machine, and a plurality of grouting outlets are provided on the outer circumferential surface of the small-diameter section of the reaming sleeve, distributed along the circumference of the reaming sleeve. The grouting outlets are connected to the grouting port via an outlet channel. During advancement of the pipe jacking machine, waterproof slurry is injected from the grouting port and ejected from the grouting port. The ejected waterproof slurry solidifies on the wall of the pipe segment mounting hole to form a waterproof layer, and a grouting liquid storage chamber is formed between the waterproof layer and the pipe segment. This can more reliably prevent the grouting liquid from spreading.

[0013] Preferably, the inner tube is an insulating structure. In winter, there is geothermal heat underground, and the cold energy mainly comes from the air. This technical solution can better prevent the rent-reducing slurry from freezing.

[0014] The present invention has the following advantages: it can effectively prevent the rent-reduction slurry from freezing; it has a good effect in preventing the rent-reduction slurry from spreading, and has little obstruction during advancement. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
