Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of engineering construction, and in particular to an adjustable intelligent soft soil grouting method and a grouting system. Background Art

[0002] Grouting technology is commonly used in construction projects such as building, transportation, and water conservancy projects for foundation reinforcement, waterproofing, and tunnel surrounding rock stabilization. Currently, traditional grouting methods rely primarily on the experience of construction personnel or pre-set fixed parameters to adjust the grouting mix. For example, in sandy soil grouting reinforcement, the water-cement ratio is often set based on experience, without fully considering the impact of differences in sand porosity and moisture content on grout diffusion. In clay soil grouting, fixed parameters can easily lead to excessive grouting pressure, resulting in grout infiltration problems.

[0003] These traditional methods have obvious defects: first, they lack the ability to dynamically detect and respond to geological conditions at the construction site in real time, making it difficult to adapt to complex and changing geological environments; second, manual experience judgment is highly subjective, and the grouting ratio accuracy is low, which can easily lead to problems such as slurry waste and poor reinforcement effect.

[0008] Furthermore, the method for obtaining the porosity ratio in step S2 is to first process the pore image data collected by the camera through image analysis software and calculate the porosity, and then the data calculation module calculates the porosity ratio through a formula.

[0022] An adjustable intelligent soft soil grouting method, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps: S1. Construction Preparation: First, select appropriate equipment types and assemble them to form a grouting system. Simultaneously, enter relevant parameters into the assembled grouting mix control system to create a parameter table. These parameters include reference porosity values for different soft soil types (such as sand and clay) (Note: the reference porosity values in the parameter table represent multiple continuous intervals) and the optimal grouting parameters for each porosity reference value. Grouting parameters include slurry penetration, water-cement ratio, and grouting pressure. Furthermore, during equipment assembly, sensors, cameras, and lighting must be installed inside the front end of the grouting pipe before assembly. After the grouting system is assembled, the entire grouting system (including installed sensors and cameras) must be debugged. Preferably, the sensor is an FDR (frequency domain reflectometry) sensor to collect real-time soil moisture data; the camera is a high-definition camera to capture images of the soil pores in the grouting area; and the lighting is an LED to assist the camera in obtaining clear images. The grouting proportion control system in this embodiment is a computer control system with industrial computers as hardware platforms and has data acquisition, analysis, decision-making and control functions, which can be realized.

[0023] S2. Data acquisition and processing: Before the actual grouting of the project, the grouting pipe is inserted into the soil to be reinforced according to the designed location and depth of the grouting point, and the moisture content data and pore image data are collected. The porosity ratio is calculated based on the pore image data processing. Specifically, the grouting ratio control system sends instructions through the data detection module to start the FDR sensor and camera, and collects the moisture content and pore image data of the set position of the soil in real time. The FDR sensor transmits the moisture content data to the grouting ratio control system data calculation module through the wireless data transmission module, and the camera transmits the captured image data to the grouting ratio control system through the wireless data transmission module. The porosity is calculated after processing by the image analysis software of the grouting ratio control system, and then the porosity data is transmitted to the data calculation module; the data calculation module calculates the porosity based on the received porosity data using a formula, and transmits the result to the grouting ratio control system.

[0024] S3. Obtaining the optimal grouting parameters: The grouting ratio control system searches the pre-entered parameter table for the corresponding soil conditions based on the calculated porosity ratio, obtains the optimal grouting parameters that match the corresponding porosity ratio under the soil conditions, and sends the optimal grouting parameters to the automatic batching system. Preferably, considering the influence of soil moisture content on grouting parameters (when the soil moisture content is high, the water-cement ratio should be appropriately reduced and the slurry concentration increased; when the moisture content is low, the water-cement ratio should be appropriately increased and the slurry concentration reduced), the grouting ratio control system recalculates the water-cement ratio parameters in the optimal grouting parameters directly obtained from the parameter table through the built-in algorithm of the data calculation module to obtain the optimized new water-cement ratio. The grouting ratio control system replaces the water-cement ratio in the optimal grouting parameters obtained in the original parameter table with the new water-cement ratio and sends it to the automatic batching system.

[0025] S4. Batching operation of automatic batching system: The automatic batching system accurately adjusts the amount of cement, water and admixtures according to the optimized optimal grouting parameters, controls the water-cement ratio, and realizes precise adjustment of the grouting ratio to automatically perform slurry batching operations.

[0026] S5. Grouting begins: The grouting equipment control unit automatically adjusts the grouting pump pressure and flow rate based on the penetration rate and pressure parameters through the grouting module, starting a grouting cycle. The grouting fluid, under pressure, penetrates the soil pores through the grouting pipe. During this process, the system also monitors the grouting pressure, flow rate, and cumulative grouting volume in real time to ensure that the grouting parameters meet the set values.

[0027] S6. End grouting: During the grouting operation, after each grouting cycle is completed, the grouting ratio control system controls the sensor and camera to re-collect data, and sends a grouting end instruction when the porosity ratio reaches the standard value and the grouting volume is sufficient, and the grouting equipment ends the grouting operation. Specifically, after each grouting cycle is completed, the grouting equipment will pause grouting, restart the sensor and camera, and repeat step S2 data collection and processing. The grouting ratio control system determines whether to continue grouting based on the latest calculated porosity ratio data and cumulative grouting volume data; when the porosity ratio reaches the target value and the grouting volume is sufficient, the grouting ratio control system sends an instruction to end the grouting operation; otherwise, steps S2-S5 are repeated.

[0028] The present invention realizes real-time dynamic detection and response to the geological conditions at the construction site by installing an FDR sensor and a high-definition camera at the front end of the grouting pipe. It can dynamically adjust the grouting parameters according to the changes in the porosity and water content of different strata. It is applicable to a variety of complex geological conditions such as sandy soil and clay soil, and broadens the application range of grouting technology. A data calculation module is used to calculate the porosity ratio based on the detected porosity, and the grouting ratio control system automatically matches the optimal grouting parameters, thereby reducing manual intervention, reducing human errors, improving construction efficiency, effectively avoiding slurry waste and insufficient reinforcement problems, and also reducing slurry waste. By continuously repeating detection, calculation and ratio adjustment during the grouting operation, dynamic and precise control of the grouting process is achieved, and the grouting parameters are automatically adjusted according to the real-time detection of soil parameters, making the grouting process more scientific, standardized and intelligent.
