Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of river engineering, in particular to an underwater pipe jacking safety protection mechanism. Background Art

[0002] Pipe jacking is a non-excavation, deep-dive pipe laying technique. Its advantages include minimal or no impact on the surrounding environment, a small construction site, and low noise levels. Furthermore, it can operate deep underground, an advantage that excavation-based pipe laying cannot match.

[0003] Specifically, pipes with diameters less than 500 mm are suitable for hand-pushing or manual pushing, as these pipes are relatively small and easy to operate and control. Pipes with diameters greater than 500 mm are better suited to mechanical pushing and pneumatic jacking to improve construction efficiency and accuracy. The diameter of a jacking pipe generally ranges from 75 mm to 4000 mm, and existing jacking methods generally use jacks. Pipes that require mechanical pushing are generally accessible, making it easier for personnel to enter and inspect the interior of the pipe.

[0004] Since the large-diameter jacking pipes are clamped together, the connections of the jacking pipes are easily broken open during the advancement process, especially when entering underwater, which increases the safety hazard of pipe construction. Therefore, in order to prevent the jacking pipes from being broken open during underwater operations, we have designed an underwater jacking safety protection mechanism to enhance the safety of underwater jacking operations. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an underwater pipe jacking safety protection mechanism to solve the problem of pipeline construction with an inner diameter of 1,000 mm to 5,000 mm proposed in the above background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: an underwater jacking pipe safety protection mechanism, comprising a jacking pipe body, a plug ring fixedly connected to the side of the pipe body, an annular groove is provided on the inner wall of the pipe body, and a clamping ring is movably connected to the inner wall of the annular groove, the inner ring surface of the clamping ring is fixedly connected to a connecting ring, the inner wall of the connecting ring is fixedly connected to a fixing ring, the side of the fixing ring is movably connected to a locking bolt, and one end of the locking bolt is threadedly connected to a locking nut, a bearing is provided on the side of the fixing ring, and a connecting plate is provided on the side of the bearing, and the side of the connecting plate is threadedly connected to the fixing bolt.

[0007] On the basis of the above technical solution, the present invention can also be improved as follows.

[0008] Preferably, a groove adapted to the insert ring is provided on the other side of the tube body away from the insert ring, and the insert ring has the same inner diameter as the tube body. By arranging the insert ring on the side of the tube body, it is convenient to connect multiple tube bodies through the insert ring, thereby increasing the connectivity between the tube bodies.

[0009] Preferably, the clamping ring, connecting ring and fixing ring are divided into half into semicircular rings, and the midpoints of the clamping ring, connecting ring and fixing ring are on the same horizontal plane as the central axis of the tube body. By dividing the clamping ring, connecting ring and fixing ring into two halves, it is convenient to install and disassemble them later, and the efficiency of installing the clamping ring, connecting ring and fixing ring in the tube body is increased.

[0010] Preferably, the outer ring surface of the connecting ring is movably connected to the inner ring surface of the tube body, and one side of the connecting ring is in the same vertical plane as the side surface of the fixing ring. By setting the connecting ring and the fixing ring, the connecting ring and the fixing ring can be easily moved inside the tube body. At the same time, the connecting ring connected to the inner wall of the tube body also increases the stability of the connection between the connecting ring and the tube body.

[0011] Preferably, the two clamping rings, connecting ring and fixing ring are connected by connecting plates and fixing bolts, and the number of connecting plates and fixing bolts is two. By setting the connecting plates and fixing bolts, it is convenient to fix the assembled clamping rings, connecting rings and fixing rings.

[0012] Preferably, six locking bolts are arranged at equal distances on the side circumference of the fixing ring, and screw holes that are compatible with the end faces of the locking bolts are opened on the side of the fixing ring. By arranging the locking bolts and locking nuts, it is convenient to fix the clamping ring, connecting ring and fixing ring between the two tube bodies through the locking bolts and nuts, thereby increasing the connectivity between the two tube bodies and preventing the tube bodies from being separated by external pressure.

[0013] Preferably, a bearing is embedded in the side of the fixing ring, and the outer ring of the bearing is fixedly connected to the fixing ring, the outer ring of the bearing is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting plate, and the side of the connecting plate is movably connected to the side of the fixing ring. By arranging the bearing and the connecting plate on the side of the fixing ring, the connecting plate can be rotated through the bearing.

[0014] Beneficial effects

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0016] The utility model increases the stability between the two adjacent tube bodies by arranging movable clamping rings, connecting rings and fixing rings at the connection of the two tube bodies. At the same time, a circular groove that can accommodate the lateral movement of the clamping ring is arranged on the inner wall of the tube body with a large diameter, so that the clamping ring drives the connecting ring to be moved for assembly and disassembly. The semi-annular clamping ring, connecting ring and fixing ring are fixed by arranging fixing bolts. At the same time, locking bolts are arranged on the side of the fixing ring, so that the two tube bodies are fixed by the locking bolts, preventing the adjacent tube bodies from being separated by external impact, thereby making the clamping ring, connecting ring and fixing ring have the effect of providing safety protection between the tube bodies.
