Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of pile foundation engineering, in particular to a device for controlling the expansion range of fluid soil in karst areas. Background Art

[0002] In my country's vast karst geological regions, bored cast-in-place piles, a key foundation construction technology, often face severe challenges such as grout leakage and difficult quality control. These issues not only directly lead to significant delays in project progress but also significantly increase costs, posing a serious threat to the overall project effectiveness. Traditionally, construction companies have relied on combining loose materials such as stone slabs and clay to fill karst cavities. However, this method often suffers from particle size mismatches between the various materials, resulting in gaps and frequent grout leakage, leading to a significant increase in slurry consumption. Furthermore, the filling quality is difficult to precisely control, which in turn affects the estimated side friction of the pile and weakens the bearing capacity and stability of the pile foundation.

[0003] To address this industry challenge, fluidized soil has emerged as an innovative green engineering material. Fluidized soil cleverly utilizes renewable resources such as slag, construction waste, and waste mud. Through scientific proportioning and processing, it forms an environmentally friendly and high-performance filling material. Its uniqueness lies in its high strength and excellent water stability, as well as its extremely low permeability, effectively preventing the occurrence of slurry leakage. More importantly, using fluidized soil to backfill caves can significantly improve the lateral friction resistance of cast-in-place piles without completely filling them, significantly optimizing the load-bearing performance of pile foundations and providing a new solution for construction quality assurance and control.

[0004] In the process of promoting the application of fluidized soil, in order to improve resource utilization efficiency and reduce unnecessary material waste, it is particularly important to accurately control the diffusion range of fluidized soil. In theory, in order to maximize the effectiveness of fluidized soil while ensuring construction efficiency and quality, it is recommended to accurately control the liquid soil filling range to between 3 and 5 times the pile diameter. To this end, the engineering community is actively exploring and developing special diffusion control devices. Through precise flow control and guidance design, this device ensures that the fluidized soil can be evenly and orderly distributed to the target area during the backfill process, which not only ensures the steady improvement of construction quality, but also maximizes resource utilization, demonstrating the harmonious unity of green construction and economic benefits. Therefore, the current problems of leakage and difficult quality control in bored pile construction in karst areas remain to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the problems of leakage and difficulty in controlling the quality of bored pile construction in karst areas in the prior art, and to provide a device for controlling the expansion range of fluidized soil in karst areas. The device can be lowered into the karst cave area before the bored pile construction, thereby achieving effective control of the expansion range of fluidized soil during fluidized soil pouring construction, effectively saving resources while ensuring construction quality, and achieving green and economical construction goals.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of the invention, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A device for controlling the expansion range of fluidized soil in karst areas, characterized by comprising a central shaft, a sliding assembly, a support rod, an expansion rod and an isolation layer;

[0008] A guide groove is provided on the side wall of the central axis, and the guide groove is arranged axially along the central axis (1);

[0009] The sliding assembly is slidably arranged in the guide groove outside the central axis, and a traction device is provided on the sliding assembly, and the traction device can drive the sliding assembly to move axially along the central axis;

[0010] The support rods are evenly distributed around the central axis, and the support rods are parallel to the central axis;

[0011] Each support rod corresponds to at least one expansion rod, and both ends of the expansion rod are movably connected to the support rod and the sliding assembly respectively, and the expansion rod can drive the support rod closer to or away from the central axis;

[0012] The isolation layer is arranged on the outside of all the struts.

[0013] A guide groove is provided on the side wall of the central axis, and the sliding assembly is arranged in the guide groove of the central axis. The guide groove restricts the sliding assembly to slide only along the axial direction of the central axis. The sliding assembly is connected to one end of the expansion rod, and the other end of the expansion rod is connected to the support rod. The direction of the support rod is parallel to the direction of the central axis. The traction device is connected to the sliding assembly, and the isolation layer is arranged on the outside of all the support rods and fixed to the support rods. After the device is assembled, it is placed in the fluidized soil pouring area. The traction device drives the sliding assembly to slide up and down in the direction of the central axis. During the sliding process, the sliding assembly drives the expansion rod to rotate, and then drives the support rod to expand outward and contract inward. When the support rod is expanded, it can support the isolation layer. The isolation layer forms a side closed structure, which controls the fluidized soil within the isolation layer and prevents the fluidized soil from flowing out.

[0014] Preferably, the sliding assembly is divided into an upper slider and a lower slider, the upper slider is connected to the upper part of the support rod through an expansion rod, and the lower slider is connected to the lower part of the support rod through the expansion rod.

[0015] When the upper and lower sliders move, the expansion rod drives the outer support rods to expand outward.

[0016] Preferably, a fixed pulley is provided at the lower end of the central shaft, and the traction device can drive the upper slider to move upward, and the traction device can also drive the lower slider to move downward through the movable pulley.

[0017] By setting a fixed pulley and changing the traction direction of the traction device, the operator can achieve downward traction of the lower slider within a safe range.

[0018] Preferably, each sliding assembly is hingedly connected to 8 expansion rods, each expansion rod is evenly distributed in a circle with the central axis as the center, and the angle between adjacent expansion rods and the line connecting the center of the circle is 45°.

[0019] Preferably, the number of the struts is 8, the distribution of the struts is the same as that of the expansion rods, and the angle between adjacent struts and the line connecting the center of the circle is 45°.

[0020] Preferably, the traction device is at least one of a nylon rope, a steel wire rope or a steel cable.

[0021] Nylon rope, wire rope or steel cable has high strength and good wear resistance, and is suitable as a traction device.

[0024] The expansion rod rotates driven by the sliding assembly, gradually expanding the support rod. When the expansion rod is perpendicular to the support rod, the maximum expansion distance is reached. After the outer isolation layer is fully expanded, the center tube is rotated as a whole, and the expansion rod rotates to the side groove of the support rod and slides down. At this time, the center tube is pulled out upward to achieve the purpose of recycling the center tube.

[0025] Preferably, the expansion rod is connected to the sliding assembly through a hinge.

[0026] The hinged connection ensures that the expansion rod and the sliding assembly can rotate relative to each other, thereby facilitating the expansion of the support rod.

[0027] Preferably, the isolation layer is one of PVC, Oxford cloth and nylon cloth.

[0028] PVC is relatively light and waterproof and moisture-proof; Oxford cloth has excellent waterproof performance, is resistant to bending, anti-static, and has good tearing resistance; nylon cloth has the advantages of high strength, high elasticity, high heat resistance, and high corrosion resistance; the isolation layer is fixed to the support rod by gluing, and is in a folded state when the support rod is not opened. When the support rod is opened, the isolation layer is driven to open together. The isolation layer is in a taut state after the support rod is fully opened, which is convenient for standardizing the range of fluid soil.

[0029] Preferably, the support rod, central axis and expansion rod are all metal components.

[0030] The core structural support rods, central axis and expansion rods of the device are made of metal, which further ensures the overall strength of the device.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0032] This new type of pile can be deployed in the karst cave area before bored pile construction to prevent adverse working conditions such as mud loss and collapse during the subsequent drilling and pouring process. This preventive measure not only ensures the geological stability of the construction area, but also lays a solid foundation for subsequent fluidized soil pouring construction.

[0033] During the fluidized soil grouting construction process, effective early treatment of the karst cave area allowed the grouting operation to be carried out in a more controlled environment. This prevented slurry loss caused by the karst cave, ensured that the fluidized soil could evenly and densely fill the pile hole as per the design requirements, and significantly improved the pile quality and bearing capacity of the cast-in-place pile.

Through the sliding of the sliding assembly 4, the expansion rod 5 can drive the strut 2 to approach the central axis 1 or away from the central axis 1; the isolation layer 3 is arranged on the outside of all the struts 2, and the material of the isolation layer 3 is nylon cloth.

[0049] A limiting mechanism is also provided on the side wall of the support rod 2 , which is a slot 8 . The end of the expansion rod 5 is spherical and is disposed in the slot 8 . The slot 8 is provided with a bayonet 81 and a side groove 82 .

[0050] When in use, the staff places the device in the cave area, and by rotating the center tube, moves the spherical structure at the end of the expansion rod 5 into the slot 81 of the slot 8.
