Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of municipal pipeline jacking engineering, in particular to a soil arching effect test device in a pipeline jacking process. Background Art

[0002] Due to the accelerated pace of urbanization and the scarcity of land resources, more and more cities are turning their attention to underground projects. Pipe jacking is a commonly used trenchless tunnel construction technique in underground projects. This technology, with its advantages of low overall cost, minimal environmental impact, high construction efficiency, no disruption to traffic, and excellent safety, is gaining increasing popularity and is widely used in the construction of underground pipelines such as communication cables, power cables, gas pipelines, and municipal water supply and drainage.

[0003] However, this construction technique can easily cause the overburden to sink, resulting in a soil arching effect. Current experimental research devices for the soil arching effect during pipe jacking construction primarily utilize non-adjustable jacking distances, with movable doors set in fixed positions. This makes it difficult to effectively study the soil arching effect during pipe jacking. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a soil arch effect test device for the pipeline jacking process. The device takes into account the embedding length of the pipeline in the soil layer during the pipeline jacking process, and can study the soil arch effect caused by pipeline construction under different jacking length conditions.

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions. The soil arch effect test device of the pipeline jacking process includes a model box, a strip opening is provided at the bottom of the model box, and a plurality of pipeline model units are placed at the strip opening. The pipeline model units are placed in sequence along the length direction of the strip opening, and a jack is connected to the bottom of each pipeline model unit. Both sides of each pipeline model unit are in contact with the two side walls in the width direction of the strip opening. Several layers of soil are filled in the model box and each layer is compacted; a vibrating string micro pressure box is arranged around each pipeline model unit for monitoring the changes in soil pressure in the soil layer during the sinking of the pipeline.

[0006] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: compared with the prior art, a plurality of pipeline model units are arranged and connected one by one to the strip opening of the model box through jacks, and the pipeline model units are placed in sequence along the length direction of the strip opening. Through this test device, each pipeline model unit represents the embedded length of the pipeline in the soil layer during the pipeline jacking process, and the soil arch effect caused by pipeline construction under different jacking length conditions can be studied. It has the advantages of simple structure, convenient testing and effective research.

[0007] Preferably, the model box is placed on a support frame, and the support frame is provided with a shelf for placing the jack, and the upper plane of the shelf is lower than the upper plane of the support frame; through the arrangement of the above structure, the model box is more stable during the test, and the upper plane of the shelf is lower than the upper plane of the support frame, which facilitates the descent of the lifting end of the jack, so that the pipeline model unit can be separated from the soil layer, and an effective study of the soil arch effect of the detached section is obtained.

[0008] Preferably, the model box includes side panels and support panels, the side panels are provided with four pieces and are connected end to end to form a rectangular box frame, the support panel is fixed to the bottom of the rectangular box frame, and the strip opening is opened at the center of the support panel; through the arrangement of the above structure, the model box can be filled with soil and compacted from top to bottom, and the filling efficiency is better, and the strip opening is opened at the center of the support panel, so when a pipe model unit of the model box is separated from the soil layer, the effective study of the soil arch effect is more accurate.

[0009] Preferably, the side panels are made of acrylic panels; this allows the soil layer changes within the model box to be directly observed with the naked eye.

[0010] Preferably, the pipeline model unit includes a pipeline with a semicircular cross-section and a connecting plate, the connecting plate is fixed at the opening of the pipeline, and the two side walls of the connecting plate are fitted with the two side walls in the width direction of the strip opening, the upper plane of the connecting plate is flush with the upper plane of the support plate, and the pipeline is located in the model box; through the setting of the above structure, the connection between the pipeline model unit and the jack is more stable, and the two side walls of the connecting plate are fitted with the two side walls in the width direction of the strip opening, so that the soil layer will not leak out from the gap between the two, and the upper plane of the connecting plate is flush with the upper plane of the support plate, so that the semicircular pipeline can be completely embedded in the soil layer, and the soil arch effect can be effectively studied.

[0011] Preferably, the vibrating string micro pressure cell is located at the top of each of the pipeline model units and at the bottom of the model box near the side of the pipeline model unit; in this way, during the study of the soil arch effect, this position distribution of the vibrating string micro pressure cell makes it more accurate to monitor the changes in soil pressure during the sinking of the pipeline.
