TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of soft soil foundation treatment, and particularly relates to a device and method for preventing clogging and draining of a soft soil foundation through air jet-high frequency sound wave cooperation. BACKGROUND
[0002] Soft soil is widely distributed in China, has high water content, poor water permeability, rheological property, large pore ratio and low shear strength. The foundation formed by soft soil is weak in overall, poor in water permeability, low in bearing capacity, weak in strength, poor in stability, and prone to uneven settlement, and thus cannot meet the requirements of engineering construction. Therefore, the soft soil foundation needs to be treated in advance before construction. The commonly used soft soil foundation treatment methods include cement mixing pile, gravel pile, bagged sand well method and plastic drainage plate method.
[0003] The cement mixing pile uses cement slurry or cement powder as a solidifying agent to be forcibly mixed with soft soil at a deep position of the foundation by a deep mixing machine, so as to form a composite foundation, thereby improving the bearing capacity and reducing the settlement. However, this method has high cost, poor quality control and large interference to underground facilities. The gravel pile uses unbound gravel (or pebble) as the main material, and forms a hole in the soft foundation by vibration, impact or water flushing, and then the gravel (or pebble) is extruded into the hole to form a large-diameter compact pile, thereby forming a composite foundation reinforcement form in which the gravel (or pebble) pile and the soil between the piles jointly act. However, this method has low compaction effect, small side pressure for extruding the soil on the side of the pile, and poor reinforcement effect on the soil between the piles. The bagged sand well method and the plastic drainage plate method both belong to the method of setting a vertical drainage system. The bagged sand well method encapsulates the bulk sand in an elongated bag made of chemical fiber fabric and placed in the soft soil, drains the pore water of the foundation soil, shortens the consolidation time, and improves the bearing capacity of the foundation. The plastic drainage plate method uses the plastic drainage plate to add a vertical drainage path of the soil layer, shortens the drainage distance, and accelerates the consolidation of the foundation. This method is simple in construction, reliable in quality, and fast in speed, and in recent years, it is gradually replacing the bagged sand well method and becoming the most widely used vertical drainage material.
[0004] However, in the process of using plastic drainage board for drainage consolidation, there has been a long-standing problem of filter membrane clogging leading to poor drainage and difficulty in effectively draining the combined water (or attached water) in the sludge, which seriously affects the drainage efficiency and consolidation quality. Patent No. CN202420386077.6 discloses "a device for promoting soft soil foundation drainage by air jet cutting", which inserts a rotating dredging pipe in the range of plastic drainage board arrangement for dredging, which can remove drainage board clogging, but has problems such as complex construction process, small dredging radius, etc. Patent No. CN202411173295.2 discloses "a drainage body, system and method for ultra-soft soil foundation drainage and consolidation", which uses straw drainage body and curing agent solution to realize rapid dehydration and consolidation of ultra-soft soil foundation and carbon sequestration, but has problems such as long time required for consolidation treatment, and low effect under low water content conditions.

[0021] As Figures 1-4The device and method for preventing siltation and draining of soft soil foundation by air jet-high frequency sound wave synergy, the core components of the device include: air compressor 1, inlet valve 2, drainage channel 3, air path 4, gas-liquid pump 5, water collecting well 6, full-automatic anti-silt drainage plate 7, spiral air path 8, Helmholtz resonance nozzle 9, plastic drainage plate 10, upstream nozzle inlet 11, upstream nozzle outlet 12, oscillation cavity 13, inclined turbine blade 14, fixed rod 15, downstream nozzle 16, bearing 17, bearing sleeve 18, inclined turbine blade 19, etc. First, use the drilling machine to drill to the designed depth in the soft soil foundation to be treated, install the anti-silt drainage plate 7 according to the predetermined arrangement mode, and connect it to the drainage channel 3 and the air path 4. Turn on the air compressor 1 and set the parameters, set the system working pressure threshold to 10 MPa: when the pressure is higher than 10 MPa, the air compressor stops working, and when the pressure is lower than 10 MPa, the air compressor automatically starts to pressurize. Keep the air compressor 1 running continuously, and inject gas into the air path 4. After the high-pressure gas flows through the anti-silt drainage plate 7, it enters the spiral air path 8, and then enters the Helmholtz resonance nozzle 9. The gas continuously accelerates to supersonic speed in the nozzle. After the high-speed gas reaches the oscillation cavity 13 inside the Helmholtz resonance nozzle 9, it resonates, and under the action of the inclined turbine blade 14, a circumferential air jet is generated in the oscillation cavity 13. This jet can efficiently flush the silt around the adjacent drainage plate after leaving the nozzle. At the same time, under the resonance action of the Helmholtz resonance cavity 13, high-frequency ultrasonic waves are formed at the nozzle outlet, which can effectively strip the combined water in the silt around the adjacent drainage plate. Start the gas-liquid pump 5 to apply negative pressure, quickly drain the groundwater, pore water in the soft soil foundation, and combined water separated from the silt under the action of ultrasonic waves. The drained water is collected in the water collecting well 6. The above process automatically circulates. Using this method and device for drainage consolidation, the problems of filter membrane siltation and low drainage efficiency faced by traditional plastic drainage plates in soft foundation treatment are successfully solved. Even in low water content conditions, efficient desilting can be achieved, significantly improving the quality and efficiency of soft foundation drainage consolidation.
