Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of pipeline repair, in particular to a "U"-type compression device for PE-lined pipelines. Background Art

[0002] In the field of pipeline repair, especially for the maintenance of urban infrastructure and industrial pipeline systems, traditional repair methods have some limitations and challenges. Traditional pipeline repair methods may require large-scale excavation work, which is not only costly but also causes damage to the surrounding environment. Common traditional pipeline repair techniques include the lining method, the winding method, and the spraying method. Among them, the lining method repairs the pipeline by installing a new pipeline layer inside the old pipeline, but this method may result in a large loss of pipeline cross-section and requires grouting to fill the annular gap; the winding method strengthens the pipeline structure by winding composite materials on the pipeline surface, but this method has high technical requirements for construction workers and may not be suitable for severely deformed pipelines; the spraying method forms a new protective layer by spraying resin on the inner surface of the pipeline, but the curing of the resin requires a certain amount of time and is difficult to carry out when the pipeline is severely deformed. Existing pipeline compression devices are usually bulky, difficult to disassemble, install, and move, resulting in inconvenient on-site construction and a limited applicable range of pipe diameters, making it difficult to meet the repair requirements of pipelines with different diameters.

[0003] With the acceleration of the urbanization process, trenchless technology has received increasing attention due to its small impact on urban traffic and the environment. Pipeline repair technology needs to develop in the direction of trenchless or minimally invasive to reduce the interference of construction on urban life.

[0004] Chinese Patent with the authorization announcement number CN215791093U discloses a PE pipeline compression device, which includes two rows of side rollers rotatably installed side by side on a mounting frame. Each of the side rollers is vertically placed and connected to the mounting frame through a bearing seat. A channel for the PE pipeline to pass through is formed between the two rows of side rollers. An elevating pressing mechanism for pressing the upper end of the PE pipeline is installed on the mounting frame and above the channel. An adjustable clamping mechanism is installed on the mounting frame and at the inlet end of the channel.

[0005] After the above-mentioned disclosed patent type clamps and positions the PE pipeline through the adjustable clamping mechanism, the two rows of side rollers and the elevating pressing mechanism limit and shape it, so that the PE pipeline forms a "U" shape, which is convenient for the PE pipeline to be transported in the full-section pipeline. However, mechanical compression may not ensure uniform compression of the PE pipeline in the full section, resulting in insufficient fitting degree with the inner wall of the old pipeline.

[0006] In summary, it is particularly important to provide a U-shaped compression device for lined PE pipes that can closely fit the original pipe, has a small inner diameter change, and a stable structure. This not only enables precise control of the PE pipe compression process but also ensures a tight fit between the pipe and the inner wall of the old pipe, thereby improving the performance and durability of the repaired pipe. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Further preferably, the movable support frame includes an inverted T-shaped column, a cross bar connected to the inverted T-shaped column by a pin, and universal wheels installed at both ends of the bottom of the inverted T-shaped column. Multiple pin holes are provided on the inverted T-shaped column.

[0014] Further preferably, the universal wheels are provided with locking devices to fix the position of the movable support frame during the compression process.

[0015] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solutions are as follows:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0020] In order to make the features and advantages of the utility model more obvious and understandable, the technical solution will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Embodiment 1

[0021] As Figure 1-2 shown, the lining PE pipeline "U"-shaped compression device utilizes the elastic characteristics of the PE pipe to temporarily compress the lined PE pipeline into a "U" shape under hydraulic action. After being bundled and fixed, it can be easily inserted into the old pipeline, and then the deformed pipeline is restored by air pressure or hydraulic pressure, enabling the PE pipe to expand and adhere to the inner wall of the main pipeline to be repaired, forming a "pipe-in-pipe" composite structure that combines the anti-corrosion performance of the PE pipe and the mechanical performance of the original pipeline, thereby achieving the repair purpose of anti-corrosion, wear resistance, and strong water conveyance capacity.

[0022] The device consists of a movable support frame 1, a hydraulic deformation ejector rod 2, a limit fixing belt 4, a hydraulic shaping device 3, and a hydraulic station 5.

[0023] The movable support frame 1 is composed of two inverted T-shaped columns 11, a cross bar 12 and four universal wheels 13. The inverted T-shaped column 11 is formed by welding a bottom cross bar and a vertical vertical bar. The length of the bottom cross bar is less than that of the vertical vertical bar. Preferably, the inverted T-shaped column 11 is formed by welding two square steel pipes of 92 mm (δ = 8 mm). The length of the bottom cross bar is 1500 mm, and the length of the vertical vertical bar is 2000 mm. The cross bar 12 is formed by butt welding two 16Q channel steels, with a length of 1600 mm. The cross bar 12 is connected to the inverted T-shaped column 11 by a pin. There are multiple pin holes on the inverted T-shaped column to adapt to the compression of PE pipes with various diameters.

[0024] The hydraulic deformation ejector rod 2 is formed by welding a main oil cylinder 21 and a pressing code 22. The cylinder body AB of the main oil cylinder 21 is fixed on the cross bar 12 of the movable support frame 1. The main oil cylinder 21 includes a piston rod A and a cylinder body A. The end of the piston rod A is welded to the pressing code 22. Preferably, the pressing code 22 is composed of a φ50 steel pipe (L = 1000 mm), and the end of the steel pipe is bent upward to ensure that the PE pipe is not damaged during pipe pressing.

[0025] The hydraulic shaping device 3 is formed by welding an auxiliary oil cylinder 31 and an anchor-shaped hook 32. The auxiliary oil cylinder 31 includes a piston rod B and a cylinder body B. The cylinder body B of the auxiliary oil cylinder 31 is fixed on the cross bar 12 of the movable support frame 1, and the end of the piston rod B is welded to the anchor-shaped hook 32.

[0026] The limit fixing belt 4 is a lifting belt. One end is located outside the hydraulic deformation ejector rod 2 and is hung on the movable support frame 1, and the other end bypasses the lower part of the PE pipeline and is hung on the anchor-shaped hook 32 of the hydraulic shaping device 3.

[0027] During the construction process, first place the PE pipe to be lined on the limit fixing belt 4, and adjust the tightness by the hydraulic shaping device 3 so that the longitudinal center line of the pipeline coincides with the hydraulic deformation ejector rod 2. Start the hydraulic deformation ejector rod 2. Under the action of pressure, the hydraulic deformation ejector rod 2 uniformly presses the PE pipe from top to bottom. The PE pipe is deformed under pressure and sinks inward to form a "U" shape. During this period, the downward pressing speed of the hydraulic deformation ejector rod 2 should be controlled not to exceed 1 cm / s. When the final sinking position of the hydraulic deformation ejector rod 2 reduces the cross-sectional area of the PE pipe to about 70% of the original, use a positioning pull rope to tie and fix it and insert it into the old pipeline, and then use high-pressure air to expand it so that the outer wall of the PE pipe closely adheres to the inner wall of the old pipeline. Embodiment 2

[0028] The universal wheel 13 is provided with a locking device to fix the position of the movable support frame 1 during the compression process. Embodiment 3

[0031] (2)In cases where large-scale excavation works are not desired or possible, this device can compress and pull the PE pipe through the existing pipeline opening to achieve trenchless repair.

[0032] (3)When it is necessary to improve the pipeline transportation capacity or change the pipeline material to meet more stringent usage conditions, this device can be used to compress and line the PE pipe on the inner wall of the old pipeline to achieve the functional upgrade of the pipeline.

[0033] (4)In case of pipeline leakage or other emergencies, this device can respond quickly by compressing the PE pipe and quickly lining it on the damaged pipeline to control the leakage and restore the pipeline function.

[0034] The utility model first realizes the uniform compression of the PE pipeline by setting a hydraulic deformation ejector rod, effectively avoiding pipeline damage and ensuring that the compressed pipeline can closely fit the inner wall of the old pipeline; through the synergistic effect of the limit fixing belt and the hydraulic shaping device, a stable support and accurate positioning are provided for the PE pipeline, enabling the compressed pipeline to accurately penetrate into the inner wall of the old pipeline and achieve a tight fit; by setting the universal wheels of the movable support frame, the mobility and on-site adaptability of the device are improved; after the pipeline is reduced in diameter by this device, the lining installation efficiency is greatly improved, the inner diameter change is small, and a tight fit with the original pipeline can be achieved, increasing the water passing capacity.
