AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing glass fiber reinforced plastic continuously wound sand-filled pipe (CWFP pipe) sleeve joints cannot achieve redundant flexible reinforcement without affecting sealing performance, and cannot maintain the sealing effect after deformation.

Method used

The system employs a multi-reinforced structure consisting of flexible sealant, rubber sheet, and protective plate, combined with a layered protection design of sealant and geotextile, forming a redundant system of "hydraulic sealing + flexible internal reinforcement" and "compression sealing + sealant + environmental isolation" to ensure that the pipe joint can maintain its sealing performance even when deformed.

Benefits of technology

Under both internal and external pressure conditions, the pipe joint can maintain the sealing effect through multiple redundant sealing structures. Even if some structures fail, the remaining structures can still maintain the seal, which improves the deformation adaptability and structural stability of the pipeline.

[0018] In the external pressure working condition, the sealing lip, the first flexible sealing body, the second flexible sealing body, the first geotextile and the second geotextile constitute a “compression sealing + sealing glue + environmental isolation” layered protection, each layer independently plays a role, when the sealing lip of the sleeve fails, the external strengthening measures can provide a supplementary protection barrier to ensure the sealing performance and structural stability of the pipeline under complex working conditions.

[0019] Preferably, the rubber plate is a ternary ethylene-propylene rubber, the minimum distance between the sealing glue at both ends of the rubber plate is greater than 50 mm, and the first fixed layer and the second fixed layer are both made of glass steel paste.

[0020] A pipe joint reinforcing method comprises the following steps:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] The present application will be further described below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0042] Embodiment 1:

[0043] As shown in Figure 1 , a joint strengthening method of a pipeline, comprising the following steps:

[0044] S1 enters the installed and backfilled pipe. The pipe includes a first pipe body 1, a second pipe body 2, and a sleeve 5. The first pipe body 1 and the second pipe body 2 are inserted into the sleeve 5 from both ends. The sleeve 5 includes a body 51 and a rubber sealing layer 52. The rubber sealing layer 52 is located on the inner wall of the body 51. The inner wall of the rubber sealing layer 52 is provided with a sealing lip assembly. The sealing lip assembly includes at least two sealing lips 521 distributed along the axial direction of the sleeve 5. The ends of the sealing lips are in close contact with the outer walls of the first pipe body 1 and the second pipe body 2. The gap between the first pipe body 1 and the second pipe body 2 inside the sleeve 5 is the pipe joint 6.

[0045] The flexible sealant 4 is filled into the entire circumference of the pipe joint 6. The flexible sealant 4 is a flexible two-component polysulfide sealant.

[0046] S2 uses a 150mm wide and 2mm thick EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber sheet 31 to cover the pipe joint 6 and the flexible sealant 4 inside the pipe joint 6. The two ends of the rubber sheet 31 are respectively glued to the inner walls of the first pipe 1 and the second pipe 2 with sealant. The sealant is an adhesive or a two-component polysulfide sealant, distributed at both ends of the rubber sheet with a width of 30-40mm, and leaving a gap of more than 50mm without sealant in the middle of the rubber sheet. The middle of the rubber sheet is not glued and can deform freely.

[0047] S3 involves attaching fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) to both ends of the rubber sheet. FRP is a mixture of glass fiber and resin. The FRP at one end of the rubber sheet 31 extends to the inner wall of the first pipe 1, forming a first fixing layer 34 after curing. The FRP at the other end of the rubber sheet 31 extends to the inner wall of the second pipe 2, forming a second fixing layer 35 after curing. The first fixing layer 34 and the second fixing layer 35 reinforce the ends of the rubber sheet and isolate the ends of the rubber sheet from the fluid inside the pipe.

[0048] After the fiberglass at both ends of the rubber sheet 31 has cured, the isolation layer 32 is placed over the rubber sheet 31, with both ends of the isolation layer 32 resting on the first fixing layer 34 and the second fixing layer 35, respectively. The isolation layer is a polyester film.

[0049] S5 involves applying fiberglass to the isolation layer, which then cures to form a protective plate. The protective plate covers the isolation layer, with one end extending to the inner wall of the second tube 2 and fixed thereto. This results in one end of the protective plate being fixed while the other end remains free.

[0050] After the water flows from the second pipe body 2 to the first pipe body 1, the protective plate presses down on the rubber plate under the action of the water flow, thereby improving the sealing effect of the rubber plate on the joint of the pipe body.

[0051] When the pipe joint deforms, the rubber plate also deforms accordingly, with one end of the protective plate remaining free and not requiring deformation. Even after the pipe deforms, the reinforced internal sealing structure can still maintain its sealing effect.

[0052] Example 2:

[0053] like Figures 2-3 As shown, the present invention provides a flexible reinforced joint structure for a pipeline, comprising a first pipe body 1, a second pipe body 2, a flexible sealant 4, a sleeve 5, a rubber plate 31, an isolation layer 32, a protective plate 33, a first fixing layer 34, a second fixing layer 35, a first geotextile 73, a first flexible sealing body 71, a second geotextile 74, a second flexible sealing body 72, and a packing strap 75.

[0054] The first pipe body 1 and the second pipe body 2 are respectively inserted into the sleeve 5 from both ends of the sleeve to form a pipe. The sleeve 5 includes a body 51 and a rubber sealing layer 52. The rubber sealing layer 52 is disposed on the inner wall of the body 51. A limiting ring 522 protruding inward is provided in the middle of the rubber sealing layer 52. Sealing lip groups are provided on both sides of the limiting ring 522 on the inner wall of the rubber sealing layer 52. The sealing lip groups include at least two sealing lips 521 distributed along the axial direction of the sleeve. The ends of the sealing lips are in close contact with the outer wall of the first pipe body 1 or the second pipe body 2. The gap between the first pipe body 1 and the second pipe body 2 in the sleeve is the pipe joint 6. A flexible sealant 4 is disposed in the pipe joint 4. The flexible sealant 4 is a flexible two-component polysulfide sealant.

[0055] A rubber sheet 31 is installed inside the pipe, with its two ends fixed to the first pipe body 1 and the second pipe body 2, respectively. The rubber sheet 31 covers the pipe joint 6 and the flexible sealant 4. The rubber sheet is made of EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber. The two ends of the rubber sheet 31 are respectively adhered to the inner walls of the first pipe body 1 and the second pipe body 2 using sealant. The sealant is an adhesive or a two-component polysulfide sealant, distributed at both ends of the rubber sheet with a width of 30-40 mm, and leaving a gap of more than 50 mm without sealant in the middle of the rubber sheet. The middle of the rubber sheet is unbonded and can deform freely.

[0056] Sealant overflows from both ends of the rubber plate 31 to form a first adhesive body 36 and a second adhesive body 37, respectively; a first fixing layer 34 is attached to the inner wall of the first tube 1 and one end of the rubber plate 31, covering the first adhesive body 36. A second fixing layer 35 is attached to the inner wall of the second tube 2 and the other end of the rubber plate 31, covering the second adhesive body 37.

[0057] A protective plate 33 is disposed inside the rubber sheet and covers the rubber sheet, and an isolation layer 32 is disposed between the rubber sheet 31 and the protective plate 33. The isolation layer 32 is a polyester film. One end of the protective plate 33 is fixed to the inner wall of the first tube 1 or the second tube 2, and the other end of the protective plate 33 is not fixed, forming a free end.

[0058] The first flexible sealing body 71 is arranged at the outer end of the gap between the sleeve 5 and the first pipe body 1, the first geotextile 73 is wound around the one end of the sleeve and the outer wall of the first pipe body, and the first geotextile 73 covers the first flexible sealing body 71; the first geotextile 73 is provided with a packing tape 75 at the corresponding positions of the first pipe body 1 and the sleeve 5; the packing tape 75 binds the first geotextile on the first pipe body 1 and the sleeve 5, the first geotextile 73 covers the first flexible sealing body 71 to isolate it from the outside world, so as to avoid the intrusion of external substances. The first flexible sealing body is used to strengthen the sealing of the sleeve and the first pipe body.

[0059] The second flexible sealing body 72 is arranged at the outer end of the gap between the sleeve 5 and the second pipe body, the second geotextile 74 is wound around the other end of the sleeve 5 and the outer wall of the second pipe body 2, and the second geotextile 74 covers the second flexible sealing body 72; the second geotextile 74 is provided with a packing tape 75 at the corresponding positions of the second pipe body 2 and the sleeve 5.

[0060] A pipe joint reinforcing method, comprising the following steps:

[0061] S1: Enter the installed pipe which has not been backfilled. The pipe comprises a first pipe body 1, a second pipe body 2, and a sleeve 5, the first pipe body 1 and the second pipe body 2 are inserted into the sleeve 5 from two ends of the sleeve 5, the sleeve 5 comprises a body 51 and a rubber sealing layer 52, the rubber sealing layer 52 is arranged on the inner wall of the body 51, the inner wall of the rubber sealing layer 52 is provided with a sealing lip group, the sealing lip group comprises at least two sealing lips 521 which are distributed along the axial direction of the sleeve 5, and the end of the sealing lip abuts against the outer wall of the first pipe body 1 and the second pipe body 2. The gap of the first pipe body 1 and the second pipe body 2 in the sleeve 5 is a pipe joint 6.

[0062] S2: Fill the flexible joint filling body 4 into the pipe joint 6 in a whole circle, and the flexible joint filling body 4 is a flexible two-component polysulfide sealing paste.

[0063] S2: Cover the pipe joint 6 and the flexible joint filling body 4 in the pipe joint 6 with an EPDM (ethylene propylene diene) rubber plate 31 with a width of 150 mm and a thickness of 2 mm, and the two ends of the rubber plate 31 are adhered to the inner walls of the first pipe body 1 and the second pipe body 2 respectively by using a sealant. The sealant is an adhesive or a two-component polysulfide sealing paste, the sealant is distributed on the two ends of the rubber plate with a width of 30-40 mm, and a width without sealant of more than 50 mm is reserved in the middle of the rubber plate. The middle of the rubber plate is not adhered and can deform freely.

[0064] S3: Apply glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) paste on both ends of the rubber plate 31. The GFRP is a mixture of glass fibers and resin. The GFRP on one end of the rubber plate 31 extends to the inner wall of the first pipe body 1, and after curing forms a first fixing layer 34. The GFRP on the other end of the rubber plate 31 extends to the inner wall of the second pipe body 2, and after curing forms a second fixing layer 35. The first fixing layer 34 and the second fixing layer 35 can strengthen the two ends of the rubber plate and isolate the two ends of the rubber plate from the fluid inside the pipe.

[0065] S4: After the GFRP on both ends of the rubber plate 31 is cured, cover the rubber plate 31 with a separation layer 32, and the two ends of the separation layer 32 are placed on the first fixing layer 34 and the second fixing layer 35 respectively. The separation layer is a polyester film.

[0066] S5: Apply GFRP paste on the separation layer, and after curing, form a protective plate. The protective plate covers the separation layer, and one end of the protective plate extends to the inner wall of the second pipe body 2 and is fixed with the second pipe body 2. In this way, one end of the protective plate is fixed, and the other end is free.

[0067] S6: Use jointing glue to joint the gaps at both ends of the sleeve. The jointing glue is a flexible single-component polyurethane sealant or a two-component polysulfide sealant. After the jointing glue in the gaps between the sleeve and the first pipe body is cured, a first flexible seal 71 is formed, and after the jointing glue in the gaps between the sleeve and the second pipe body is cured, a second flexible seal 72 is formed.

[0068] S7: Cover the first flexible seal 71 with a first geotextile 73, and the two ends of the first geotextile 73 extend to the outer wall of the first pipe body 1 and the outer wall of the sleeve 5 respectively.

Wrap the second geotextile 74 with a packing tape 75 at the corresponding positions of the second pipe body 2 and the sleeve 5.

[0070] The reinforcing structure and method of the present application realizes layered redundancy design under internal and external pressure conditions. Under internal pressure conditions, the sleeve joint lip seal and flexible internal reinforcement form a "hydraulic seal + flexible internal reinforcement" multiple redundancy system. Even if part of the sealing measures such as EPDM rubber plate and two-component polysulfide sealant fail, the remaining sealing structure can still maintain internal pressure sealing, with complementary functions and no direct dependence. Under external pressure conditions, the outer sealing lip, external sealant, and geotextile form a "adhesive seal + sealant and environmental isolation" layered protection, with each layer independently functioning. When the external sealing lip of the sleeve joint fails, the external reinforcement measures can provide additional protective barriers to ensure the sealing and structural stability of the pipeline under complex conditions.

[0071] The selected two-component polysulfide sealing paste, EPDM rubber plate, single-component polyurethane sealant and other materials have good flexibility, water resistance, weather resistance and chemical corrosion resistance. The two-component polysulfide sealing paste has outstanding waterproof performance, and the sealing life of the material formula, environmental conditions, construction process and other factors are affected by the material formula, environmental conditions, construction process and other factors, but through reasonable design and construction, it can serve in marine engineering for decades. The elongation at break of the EPDM rubber plate is more than 300%, which can effectively absorb the deformation of the joint and the bonding strength between the pipeline and the rubber plate is greater than the strength of the rubber plate base material. The single-component polyurethane sealant can be cured in wet conditions, the curing time is less than or equal to 48h, and the construction feasibility is high. In the presence of a fault, it can also maintain the performance of not cracking, and these material properties jointly guarantee the sealing performance and service life of the joint.

[0072] The reinforcing structure and method of the application not only apply to the pipeline engineering of water supply and drainage projects, but also have important reference and application value in the fields of seawater intake and drainage engineering, pipeline engineering involving the transportation of corrosive media and engineering fields with high requirements for pipeline sealing and structural stability, which can effectively improve the reliability and safety of the pipeline system.

[0073] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the application, and cannot limit the scope of the application. Any equivalent changes and decorations made within the scope of the application shall still belong to the scope covered by the application.
