Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of integrated utility tunnel engineering testing technology, and in particular to a device and method for testing the seepage prevention performance of integrated utility tunnels crossing rivers. Background Technology
[0002] As a centralized carrier for urban underground pipelines, integrated utility tunnels undertake the transmission functions of important pipelines such as electricity, communication, water supply and drainage, and gas. The quality of their engineering directly affects the safe and stable operation of urban infrastructure. In integrated utility tunnel projects that cross rivers, due to the long-term underwater high humidity and high osmotic pressure environment, and the influence of multiple factors such as river water scouring and pressure from the tunnel's burial depth, seepage prevention performance has become one of the core quality indicators of the utility tunnel project. Once leakage occurs in the utility tunnel, it will not only lead to corrosion and functional failure of the pipelines inside the tunnel, but may also cause serious consequences such as structural damage to the utility tunnel and pollution of the river. Therefore, after the completion of the utility tunnel construction or before it is put into use, its seepage prevention performance must be comprehensively and accurately tested.
[0003] Existing testing equipment often uses separate sealing and pressurization structures. However, due to the lack of an effective linkage drive structure, if water enters the equipment without an effective synchronous sealing structure, water leakage can easily occur due to poor sealing, affecting the normal testing of the test blocks. Furthermore, the lack of an effective emergency pressure relief structure can easily lead to damage to the sealing structure itself due to over-sealing. Summary of the Invention

[0015] This invention discloses a method for testing the seepage prevention performance of an integrated utility tunnel under a river, comprising the following steps:
[0016] S1. Open the front door of the housing mechanism and place the test block to be tested in the groove of the test mechanism, so that the test block is centered; then put the upper pressure plate through the four corner through holes onto the outer wall of the connecting rod, press it to fit the top of the test block, rotate the limit nut to tighten the upper pressure plate, and complete the limit fixation of the test block. During the test, the status of the test block can be observed through the observation groove on the upper pressure plate.
[0017] S2. Close the chamber door and start the device through the control panel at the front of the chamber door. The controller of the test mechanism is powered on and the servo motor in the drive mechanism runs under the support of the mounting base, which drives the turntable to rotate. The guide rod pulls the balance plate to make reciprocating linear motion, and the piston rod and piston plate make reciprocating push and pull actions inside the supply mechanism.
[0018] S3. During the water supply phase, the piston plate is pulled backward to create negative pressure. External water enters the supply mechanism through the suction pipe, flows through the water supply check valve to the water supply pipe of the testing mechanism, and is then distributed to each test pipe through the water circulation pipe. The water is then evenly sprayed onto the surface of the test block through the seepage hole at the top of the test pipe.
[0019] S4. During the gas supply and sealing stage, when the piston plate is pushed forward, the gas enters the gas supply pipe through the gas extraction pipe, is delivered to the manifold of the sealing mechanism through the gas supply check valve, and is then delivered to the expansion bladder through the branch pipe and the gas supply hose, so that the expansion bladder is inflated and fits against the side of the test block to achieve sealing.
[0020] S5. During the test, the pressure sensor in the groove at the top of the test tube monitors the water supply pressure in real time and transmits the signal to the controller of the test mechanism. The controller displays the water pressure data on the control screen, and the air pressure gauge displays the sealing air pressure simultaneously. The water pressure gauge provides feedback on the water pressure status. If the air pressure in the manifold exceeds the safe value, the pressure relief valve opens automatically and releases excess gas through the pressure relief pipe.
[0021] S6. If the test pressure needs to be adjusted, input the command through the control panel. The controller adjusts the servo motor speed, changes the piston plate movement frequency, and thus adjusts the water and air supply pressure. The liquid suction check valve on the outer wall of the liquid suction pipe and the air suction check valve in the air suction pipe prevent water and gas backflow, respectively.
[0022] S7. After the test is completed, close the device through the control panel, the servo motor will stop running, and the pressure relief valve will continue to release pressure until the expansion bladder contracts; open the chamber door, loosen the limit nut, remove the upper pressure plate, take out the test piece, and complete the test process.
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0024] 1. In this invention, by setting up components such as a driving mechanism, a supply mechanism, and a sealing mechanism, the servo motor of the driving mechanism drives the turntable to rotate, which in turn moves the piston rod and piston plate through the guide linkage and balance plate, simultaneously providing power for the water and gas supply of the supply mechanism. The gas supply pipe of the supply mechanism delivers gas to the sealing mechanism in a timely manner, so that the expansion bladder is synchronously inflated to achieve sealing. The water supply is delivered to the surface of the test block through the water supply pipe, the water circulation pipe, and the pressure test pipe, forming a linkage system of driving, supply, and sealing. This device can completely solve the problem of poor sealing caused by the asynchronous sealing and water supply in the prior art, avoid water seepage interfering with the test block test, and ensure the continuity and accuracy of the test process.
[0025] 2. In this invention, by setting up components such as a manifold, a pressure relief pipe, and a pressure relief valve for the sealing mechanism, the gas is collected through the manifold and supplied to the expansion airbag through the diversion pipe and the gas supply hose. At the same time, the pressure relief valve monitors the gas pressure in the manifold in real time. When the gas pressure exceeds the safety threshold, the pressure relief pipe is automatically opened to release the excess gas, forming a closed-loop protection structure of "gas supply - monitoring - pressure relief". This device can effectively avoid damage to the sealing structure such as the expansion airbag caused by excessive sealing, extend the service life of the sealing mechanism, and ensure the stability of the sealing effect. It solves the technical shortcoming of existing devices that lack an emergency pressure relief structure.
[0026] 3. In this invention, by setting up a pressure sensor, controller, and control panel in the testing mechanism, along with components such as the connecting rod, limit nut, and upper pressure plate of the testing mechanism, the pressure sensor captures the water supply pressure data of the test tube in real time and transmits it to the controller. The controller receives feedback from the control panel and drives the mechanism to adjust the supply pressure. At the same time, the upper pressure plate, under the action of the connecting rod and limit nut, firmly presses the test block, forming a collaborative testing mechanism of pressure monitoring, real-time control, and test block fixation. This device can accurately control the test water pressure parameters, ensuring that the test block completes the seepage prevention performance test under stable stress, greatly improving the reliability and accuracy of the test results, and meeting the stringent requirements of the integrated pipe gallery under the river for seepage prevention testing.

[0046] This invention discloses a method for testing the seepage prevention performance of an integrated utility tunnel under a river, comprising the following steps:
[0047] S1. Open the box door 1011 at the front end of the housing mechanism 1, place the test block 1013 to be tested in the groove of the test mechanism 2, and center the test block 1013; then, put the upper pressure plate 2012 through the four corner through holes onto the outer wall of the connecting rod 201, press it to fit the top of the test block 1013, rotate the limiting nut 2011 to press the upper pressure plate 2012, and complete the limiting and fixing of the test block 1013. During the test, the status of the test block can be observed through the observation groove 2013 on the upper pressure plate 2012.
[0048] S2. Close the box door 1011, start the device through the control panel 1012 at the front of the box door 1011, power on the controller of the test mechanism 3, and drive the servo motor 5012 in the drive mechanism 5 to run under the support of the mounting base 5011, drive the turntable 5013 to rotate, and pull the balance plate 5015 to reciprocate linear motion through the guide rod 5014, and link the piston rod 5016 and piston plate 5017 to reciprocate push and pull actions inside the supply mechanism 6;
[0049] S3. During the water supply stage, the piston plate 5017 is pulled backward to create negative pressure. External water enters the supply mechanism 6 through the suction pipe 6011, flows through the water supply check valve 601 to the water supply pipe 3012 of the testing mechanism 3, and is then distributed to each test pipe 3014 through the water circulation pipe 3013. The water is then evenly sprayed onto the surface of the test block 1013 through the seepage hole 3016 at the top of the test pipe 3014.
[0050] S4. During the gas supply and sealing stage, when the piston plate 5017 is pushed forward, the gas enters the gas supply pipe 6013 through the gas extraction pipe 6015, and is delivered to the manifold 401 of the sealing mechanism 4 through the gas supply check valve 6014. Then, it is delivered to the expansion bladder 4013 through the branch pipe 4011 and the gas supply hose 4012, so that the expansion bladder 4013 is inflated and fits against the side of the test block 1013 to achieve sealing.
[0051] S5. During the test, the pressure sensor 3015 in the groove at the top of the pressure test tube 3014 monitors the water supply pressure in real time and transmits the signal to the controller of the test mechanism 3. The controller displays the water pressure data through the control panel 1012, the air pressure gauge 301 displays the sealing air pressure simultaneously, and the water pressure gauge 3011 provides feedback on the water pressure status. If the air pressure in the manifold 401 exceeds the safe value, the pressure relief valve 4015 automatically opens and releases the excess gas through the pressure relief pipe 4014.
[0052] S6. If the test pressure needs to be adjusted, input the command through the control panel 1012. The controller adjusts the speed of the servo motor 5012, changes the movement frequency of the piston plate 5017, and then adjusts the water supply and air supply pressure. The liquid extraction check valve 6012 on the outer wall of the liquid extraction pipe 6011 and the air extraction check valve 6016 in the air extraction pipe 6015 prevent water and gas from flowing back respectively.
[0053] S7. After the test is completed, the device is turned off through the control panel 1012, the servo motor 5012 stops running, the pressure relief valve 4015 continues to release pressure until the expansion air bag 4013 contracts; open the box door 1011, loosen the limit nut 2011, remove the upper pressure plate 2012, take out the test block 1013, and complete the test process.
[0054] In use, firstly, the operator opens the box doors 1011 on the left and right sides of the front end of the housing mechanism 1, and places the test block 1013 to be tested stably in the groove of the test mechanism 2, ensuring that the test block 1013 is centered and not excessively squeezed against the inner wall of the test mechanism 2. Then, the operator picks up the upper pressure plate 2012, aligns the through holes at its four corners with the connecting rods 201 at the four corners of the top surface of the housing mechanism 1, puts the upper pressure plate 2012 on the outer wall of the connecting rod 201 and presses it down to fit the top of the test block 1013. Then, the operator rotates the limiting nut 2011 on the outer wall of the connecting rod 201, so that the limiting nut 2011 moves down and presses the upper pressure plate 2012. The upper pressure plate 2012 forms a stable limit on the test block 1013. During the test, the surface condition and leakage of the test block 1013 can be directly observed through the observation groove 2013 on the upper pressure plate 2012.
[0055] After the box door 1011 is closed, the entire device is started through the control panel 1012 at the front of the box door 1011. The controller of the test mechanism 3 is simultaneously powered on and enters the working state. The servo motor 5012 in the drive mechanism 5 starts to run under the fixed support of the mounting base 5011. The output end of the servo motor 5012 drives the turntable 5013 at the top to rotate at a constant speed. Since one end of the guide rod 5014 is eccentrically connected to the top of the turntable 5013, when the turntable 5013 rotates, it will pull the balance plate 5015 to reciprocate linear motion through the guide rod 5014. The piston rods 5016, which are symmetrically fixed at both ends of the balance plate 5015, move synchronously, thereby driving the piston plate 5017 at one end of the piston rod 5016 to reciprocate push and pull inside the supply mechanism 6, providing continuous power for the water and gas supply operations of the supply mechanism 6.
[0056] In the water supply process, the suction pipe 6011 of the supply mechanism 6 is connected to the water pump of the external water source. When the piston plate 5017 is pulled backward, a negative pressure is created, and external water enters the supply mechanism 6 through the suction pipe 6011. The suction check valve 6012 on the outer wall of the suction pipe 6011 prevents water backflow. The water supply check valve 601 inside the supply mechanism 6 controls the water to flow unidirectionally to the water supply pipe 3012 of the test mechanism 3. The water enters the water circulation pipe 3013 through the water supply pipe 3012. The water circulation pipe 3013 evenly distributes the water to each test pipe 3014 at its top. The pressure tube 3014 extends upward into the test mechanism 2, and the seepage hole 3016 at its top sprays water evenly onto the surface of the test block 1013, ensuring that the test block 1013 is in full contact with the water. At the same time, the pressure sensor 3015 in the groove at the top of the pressure tube 3014 senses the pressure of the water on the test block 1013 in real time and transmits the pressure signal to the controller of the test mechanism 3. After processing the signal, the controller displays the real-time water pressure data through the control screen 1012. The water pressure gauge 3011 at the front of the test mechanism 3 synchronously feeds back the water pressure status, which is convenient for operators to monitor intuitively.
[0057] In the gas supply and sealing process, when the piston plate 5017 pushes forward, the gas supply pipe 6013 of the supply mechanism 6 draws in external gas through the extraction pipe 6015. The extraction check valve 6016 inside the extraction pipe 6015 ensures unidirectional gas entry. The gas is delivered to the sealing mechanism 4 through the gas supply pipe 6013. The gas supply check valve 6014 on the outer wall of the gas supply pipe 6013 prevents gas backflow. After entering the sealing mechanism 4, the gas is first collected by the manifold 401, and then distributed to each gas supply hose 4012 through the branch pipe 4011. Gas is delivered to the expansion bladder 4013 on the inner wall of the test mechanism 2. After inflation, the expansion bladder 4013 gradually expands and tightly fits the side of the test block 1013 to form an all-round sealing structure, preventing water from leaking from the side of the test block 1013 during the test. The pressure gauge 301 at the front end of the test mechanism 3 displays the sealing pressure in real time. If the pressure in the manifold 401 exceeds the preset safety value, the pressure relief pipe 4014 on the outer wall of the manifold 401 and the pressure relief valve 4015 inside will automatically start to release excess gas, ensuring that the expansion bladder 4013 will not be damaged due to excessive pressure.
[0058] During the test, the controller of the testing mechanism 3 automatically adjusts the speed of the servo motor 5012 based on the water pressure data fed back by the pressure sensor 3015, thereby adjusting the movement frequency of the piston plate 5017 to achieve precise control of the water supply pressure and air supply pressure, ensuring that the test parameters always meet the preset standards. If the test pressure needs to be adjusted, the operator can input a command through the control panel 1012. After receiving the command, the controller drives the servo motor 5012 to adjust its operating status and complete the adjustment of the pressure parameters. After the test is completed, the device is closed through the control panel 1012, the servo motor 5012 stops running, the pressure relief valve 4015 continues to release pressure until the expansion bladder 4013 contracts, then the chamber door 1011 is opened, the limit nut 2011 is loosened, the upper pressure plate 2012 is removed, and the test block 1013 is taken out, completing the entire seepage prevention performance test process.

A method for testing the seepage prevention performance of an integrated utility tunnel under a river as described in any one of claims 1-9, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: S1. Open the box door (1011) at the front end of the shell mechanism (1), place the test block (1013) to be tested in the groove of the test mechanism (2), and center the test block (1013); then put the upper pressure plate (2012) through the four corner through holes onto the outer wall of the connecting rod (201), press it to fit the top of the test block (1013), rotate the limit nut (2011) to press the upper pressure plate (2012), and complete the limit fixation of the test block (1013). During the test, the test block status can be observed through the observation groove (2013) on the upper pressure plate (2012); S2. Close the box door (1011). Start the device through the control panel (1012) at the front of the box door (1011). The controller of the test mechanism (3) is powered on and the servo motor (5012) in the drive mechanism (5) runs under the support of the mounting base (5011), driving the turntable (5013) to rotate. The guide rod (5014) pulls the balance plate (5015) to make reciprocating linear motion. The piston rod (5016) and piston plate (5017) are linked to make reciprocating push and pull actions inside the supply mechanism (6). S3. During the water supply stage, the piston plate (5017) is pulled backward to create negative pressure. External water enters the supply mechanism (6) through the suction pipe (6011), flows through the water supply check valve (601) to the water supply pipe (3012) of the test mechanism (3), and is then distributed to each test pipe (3014) through the water circulation pipe (3013). The water is then evenly sprayed onto the surface of the test block (1013) through the seepage hole (3016) at the top of the test pipe (3014). S4. During the gas supply and sealing stage, when the piston plate (5017) is pushed forward, the gas enters the gas supply pipe (6013) through the gas extraction pipe (6015), and is delivered to the manifold (401) of the sealing mechanism (4) through the gas supply check valve (6014). Then, it is delivered to the expansion bladder (4013) through the branch pipe (4011) and the gas supply hose (4012), so that the expansion bladder (4013) is inflated and fits against the side of the test block (1013) to achieve sealing. S5. During the test, the pressure sensor (3015) in the groove at the top of the test tube (3014) detects the water supply pressure in real time and transmits the signal to the controller of the test mechanism (3). The controller displays the water pressure data through the control panel (1012), the air pressure gauge (301) displays the sealing air pressure in sync, and the water pressure gauge (3011) provides feedback on the water pressure status. If the air pressure in the manifold (401) exceeds the safe value, the pressure relief valve (4015) opens automatically and releases excess gas through the pressure relief pipe (4014). S6. If the test pressure needs to be adjusted, input the command through the control panel (1012), the controller adjusts the speed of the servo motor (5012), changes the movement frequency of the piston plate (5017), and then adjusts the water supply and air supply pressure. The liquid suction check valve (6012) on the outer wall of the liquid suction pipe (6011) and the air suction check valve (6016) in the air suction pipe (6015) prevent water and gas from flowing back respectively. S7. After the test is completed, close the device through the control panel (1012), the servo motor (5012) stops running, the pressure relief valve (4015) continues to release pressure until the expansion airbag (4013) contracts; open the box door (1011), loosen the limit nut (2011), remove the upper pressure plate (2012), take out the test block (1013), and complete the test process.
