Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of roadbed lifting, and in particular to an intelligent control method for railway roadbed grouting lifting using the tube method. Background Technology
[0002] Railway subgrade is a crucial component of railway infrastructure, and its long-term stable smoothness is key to ensuring the safe, smooth, and high-speed operation of trains. During operation, due to factors such as changes in geological conditions, groundwater erosion, repeated dynamic loads, and natural settlement, railway subgrades often experience uneven settlement, leading to excessive geometric deformation and displacement of the tracks, which can seriously affect train operation safety. While various technologies exist for remediating uneven settlement of railway subgrades, each has significant limitations. Traditional techniques, such as subgrade replacement, require interrupting train operations, involve large excavations, have long construction periods, high economic costs, and cause severe environmental disturbance, making them unsuitable for the rapid repair needs during "maintenance windows" on high-density main lines. Although fiber optic sensing technology for measuring vertical displacement of the subgrade offers high measurement accuracy, its installation and maintenance costs are high.
[0003] To address this type of damage, a grouting and lifting technique using a capsule-like tube is proposed. This is a grouting technique for micro-disturbance repair of railway subgrade structures. Its principle primarily utilizes the capsule-like tube to restrict grout diffusion. Cement-based grouting material is injected into the designed grouting capsule, and the grouting pressure pushes the subgrade soil upwards. The capsule-like tube acts as a constraint, ensuring the grouting area is within the specified range and preventing grout leakage. The grouting operation can be completed when the desired effect is achieved. During the capsule-like tube grouting and lifting process, real-time monitoring of the settlement in the settlement zone is necessary to facilitate timely adjustments to the grouting plan; therefore, railway subgrade settlement monitoring is indispensable.
[0004] Existing roadbed settlement monitoring typically employs traditional manual measurement methods. This involves first installing leveling rods on the roadbed in the settlement area, then reading the leveling rods using a level instrument. The movement and reading of the level instrument, the erection of the leveling rods, and the recording of measurement data are all done manually. Finally, the measurement data is manually input into a computer for data processing to obtain the road settlement results. However, this manual measurement method is slow, has low accuracy, high labor costs, cumbersome data processing, is prone to human error in the final data results, requires interrupting traffic or utilizing maintenance windows, only measures discrete points, and cannot achieve real-time monitoring.
[0005] Traditional grouting for roadbed elevation involves sequential grouting in a single operation, resulting in long intervals between each grouting point, such as several hours, leading to minimal elevation. When multiple grouting tubes are used for simultaneous grouting, coordinating the grouting control of each tube becomes difficult, and precise coordination is impossible to achieve manually. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the prior art by providing an intelligent control method for grouting and lifting of railway subgrade using the tube method. This method uses a machine vision displacement measuring instrument to measure the subgrade lifting amount. Before grouting and lifting, the tube is placed at the lifting point of the designated settlement section. The settlement amount is measured by placing reflective targets at fixed intervals in the subgrade settlement section. The tube with the largest settlement at the bottom is used as the first grouting tube in each round, and the grouting time is the longest. The grouting time is reduced for the tubes on both sides with decreasing settlement. The grouting ball valves are opened sequentially to perform cyclic grouting until the subgrade lifting returns to the expected effect. During each round of grouting, the machine vision displacement measuring instrument monitors the subgrade lifting amount in real time and feeds it directly to the mobile cloud, eliminating the need for manual recording.
[0007] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: A method for intelligent control of grouting and lifting of railway subgrade using the tube grouting method, the method comprising the following steps: S1: Drill holes at the bottom of the roadbed settlement section and lay n bladder tubes at equal intervals along the cross section of the roadbed; wherein, each bladder tube is equipped with an intelligent ball valve, and multiple intelligent ball valves are connected in parallel to the same grouting machine; S2: Vertical displacement monitoring targets are deployed on the roadbed surface directly above each of the aforementioned tubes; S3: Use a machine vision displacement measuring instrument to measure the uplift at each vertical displacement monitoring target. Based on the initial elevation of the line design, determine the target uplift of each vertical displacement monitoring target, and record it as △h1, △h2, △h3, ..., △h n-1 , △h n And determine the maximum target lift Δh. max ; S4: From the maximum target lift Δh max The first round of grouting began in the capsule directly below the vertical displacement monitoring target; during the grouting process, the opening time Δt of the intelligent ball valve of this capsule was recorded. max The first preset time; the opening time of the intelligent ball valve in the remaining bladder tubes is Δt. i Based on the target lift △h of the corresponding vertical displacement monitoring target. i According to the formula △t i =(△h i / △h max ) * △t max Calculation determined; S5: After one round of grouting is completed, based on the rise of each vertical displacement monitoring target measured by the machine vision displacement measuring instrument, update the target rise of each vertical displacement monitoring target Δh1, Δh2, Δh3, ..., Δh n-1 , △h nThe updated vertical displacement monitoring target lift Δh was obtained. max ; S6: Perform a new round of grouting, corresponding to the new round of Δh. max Grouting time △t of the bladder tube max Compared to the previous round's △t max Reduce by a predetermined value; the grouting time Δt for the remaining cysts i Based on the updated settlement Δh i Recalculate according to the formula described in step S4; S7: Repeat steps S5 and S6 until the roadbed rise reaches the expected state, that is, the target rise of each vertical displacement monitoring target is 0.
[0008] Every 4 to 6 of the tubes are connected to one of the grouting machines.
[0009] The intelligent ball valve is controlled by an intelligent system to open and close.
[0010] In step S4, the intelligent ball valves of the bladder tube are opened sequentially in descending order of settlement amount to perform grouting.
[0011] In step S4, the first preset time is 6 to 10 seconds.
[0012] In step S6, the predetermined value is 0.02 to 1 second.
[0013] After grouting of a single bladder tube is completed, bentonite is injected into the bladder tube to prevent blockage and facilitate subsequent grouting after settling.
[0014] The advantages of this invention are: (1) The bladder tube grouting method can achieve fixed-point and quantitative roadbed lifting. The grouting material can be evenly distributed under the restriction of the bladder tube. The bladder tube grouting method can significantly improve the lifting treatment effect and stability. (2) Effectively prevents grout leakage, reduces pollution to the surrounding environment, does not require a lot of excavation and backfilling, reduces damage to the surrounding environment, and the roadbed surface can directly bear traffic load after grouting is completed without waiting for the grout to solidify. (3) The bladder tube effectively prevents grout leakage, and due to the short construction period and minimal interference with the surrounding environment, it has a significant advantage in terms of project cost. (4) Compared with traditional manual measurement, machine vision displacement measurement of roadbed settlement saves a lot of measurement time and realizes real-time monitoring; compared with fiber optic sensing measurement technology, the instrument has low cost and no maintenance is required after measurement.

[0025] In this embodiment, the predetermined value is 0.02 to 1 second. The grouting operation is the same as step S4, so it will not be described in detail here.
