[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0027] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, a quick tube changing device is provided.
[0028] Example 1
[0029] like Figures 1-4As shown, the quick tube changing device according to the embodiment of the present utility model includes a tube changing bracket 1, a connecting bracket 2 is provided below the tube changing bracket 1, a connecting rod 4 is detachably connected to the connecting bracket 2 through a U-shaped plate 3, the number of the connecting rods 4 is two, and rollers 5 are connected to both ends of the connecting rod 4. A connecting pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the tube changing bracket 1, and the connecting pipe 6 is connected to a telescopic inner tube 7 through a flange. A telescopic sleeve 8 is provided on the outside of the telescopic inner tube 7, a first connecting seat 9 is provided on the telescopic sleeve 8, a second connecting seat 10 is provided on the telescopic sleeve 8, and the first connecting seat 9 and the second connecting seat 10 are connected by a hydraulic telescopic rod 1 1, one end of the telescopic sleeve 8 is connected to the mud pipe 26 through the clamp 12, one end of the connecting pipe 6 is connected to the ball valve 13 through the flange, and the other end of the ball valve 13 is connected to the mud hose of the extension pipe trolley. The two ends of the connecting bracket 2 are fixed with baffles 21 by bolts. By setting the baffle 21, the roller 5 can be effectively prevented from continuing to move, which facilitates pipe replacement. Mounting plates 22 are provided on both sides of the connecting bracket 2. Limiting wheels 23 are fixed on the mounting plates 22 by bolts. By setting the limiting wheels 23, the limiting wheels 23 can ensure the stability of the connecting bracket 2 when moving on the guide rail 14. Through the above solution, through the design of the connecting rod 4 and the roller 5, the pipe changing bracket 1 can move smoothly on the guide rail 14, and cooperate with the hydraulic telescopic rod 11 to realize the relative movement between the telescopic sleeve 8 and the telescopic inner tube 7, so that the replacement operation of the mud pipe 26 can be completed quickly. Since the distance between the connecting bracket 2 and the mud pipe inside the tunnel is uncertain, the distance between the two can be adjusted by starting the telescopic rod, which facilitates the installation of the new mud pipe 26. In addition, by providing the anti-overturning bracket 24, the stability of the entire pipe changing device is enhanced to prevent accidental tilting or overturning during the pipe changing process.
[0030] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the roller 5 is arranged inside the guide rail 14. There are two guide rails 14. A box body 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of one guide rail 14. The other guide rail 14 is connected to a fixing pile 17 by a countersunk bolt 16. The fixing pile 17 is fixed to the inside of the box body 15. Mounting piles 18 are provided on the front and rear sides of the box body 15. A limit plate 19 is provided above the mounting pile 18. A connecting joint 25 is provided on one side of the mounting pile 18. Bottom slurry discharge pipes 20 are provided on both sides of the box body 15. Through the above scheme, the box body 15 and the bottom slurry discharge pipe 20 are provided, so that the mud leakage generated during the pipe replacement process can be collected and discharged, keeping the working environment clean. When the internal mud accumulates too much and cannot be discharged through the bottom slurry discharge pipe 20, one of the guide rails 14 can be disassembled by removing the countersunk bolt 16, which is convenient for manual cleaning of the box body 15. The design of the detachable guide rail 14 provides convenience for cleaning work under special circumstances, further improving the reliability and practicality of the equipment.
[0031] In order to facilitate understanding of the above technical solutions of the present invention, the working principle or operation method of the present invention in actual process is described in detail below.
[0032] In actual use, the tube-changing support 1 is connected to the shield machine via the connecting joint 25. The shield machine advances and pulls the tube-changing support 1 along the tunnel. The telescopic sleeve 8 on the tube-changing support 1 is connected to the mud pipe 26 via the clamp 12. Because the mud pipe 26 in the tunnel is stationary, the tube-changing support 1 is also stationary, but the tube-changing support 1 moves backward along the tunnel relative to the guide rail 14. When the tube-changing support 1 moves to the end position, the baffle 21 contacts the limit plate 19, and the roller 5 stops moving. The clamp 12 is then removed to disconnect the telescopic sleeve 8 from the mud pipe 26. The winch in the front extension tube trolley is activated to retract the mud hose of the extension tube trolley, causing it to pull the tube-changing support 1 along the direction of the shield machine's advance. When the tube-changing support 1 reaches the starting position, the limit plate 19 at the starting position limits the roller 5, causing the tube-changing support 1 to stop moving and the winch to stop retracting the hose. Place the new mud pipe 26 at the pipe replacement rack, first connect it to the mud pipe 26 in the tunnel, and then connect it to the telescopic sleeve 8, so that the new mud pipe 26 can be connected to the telescopic sleeve 8 to realize the pipe replacement of the mud pipe 26. The mud leaked during the pipe replacement is stored in the box 15 and discharged through the bottom slurry discharge pipe 20.
[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
