Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of foundation pit retaining wall seepage detection technology, specifically a foundation pit retaining wall seepage detection device. Background Technology

[0002] The term "foundation pit retaining structure" refers to the methods used to develop and utilize underground space for the construction of various underground buildings such as multi-story basements, subways, and underground commercial streets. These methods include gravity-mixed pile retaining walls, diaphragm walls, and pile-type retaining walls. The goal is not only to ensure the stability of the foundation pit and the safety and convenience of operations within it, but also to control the displacement of the soil at the bottom and outside the pit within a certain range, ensuring the normal use of adjacent buildings and municipal facilities. Since the foundation pit is mainly composed of soil, and soil stability is primarily related to its moisture content, the soil moisture content should be tested after the foundation pit is constructed to determine if the soil is prone to loosening and deformation. While shallow soil is easily tested through sampling, deeper soil is more difficult to assess. In practice, some methods involve direct excavation to collect soil samples, but this is not only extremely labor-intensive but also causes significant environmental damage, further increasing the workload.

[0003] Meanwhile, patent specification CN 217845997 U discloses a seepage detection device for urban tunnel foundation pits based on smart construction sites, including a mounting frame with a control box inside. A set of support plates is fixedly connected to the bottom of each end of the mounting frame. This seepage detection device for urban tunnel foundation pits based on smart construction sites is equipped with a servo motor, a threaded shaft, a rotating groove, a limiting plate, a threaded cylinder, a limiting groove, and a control box. Before detection, the servo motor at the top is activated to drive the threaded shaft to rotate.

[0004] However, in implementing the relevant technology, the above-mentioned urban tunnel foundation pit seepage detection device based on smart construction sites has the following problems: When this utility model detects seepage in the foundation pit, it needs to go deep underground, which will undoubtedly damage the environment of the area. Moreover, the workload of going deep underground for detection is large, and the subsequent treatment of the excavated ground also requires a certain amount of work.

[0005] Therefore, a seepage detection device for foundation pit retaining walls is proposed to address the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this utility model provides a seepage detection device for foundation pit retaining walls, which has the advantage of low workload. When conducting seepage detection on underground retaining walls, this utility model eliminates the need for large-scale excavation, thereby reducing workload, improving work efficiency, reducing damage to the surrounding environment and subsequent treatment work, and has a simple structure that only requires the buoyancy of water to perform the detection.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a seepage detection device for foundation pit retaining walls, comprising a soil layer, an above-ground observation chamber fixedly installed on the top surface of the soil layer, an underground protective sleeve fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the above-ground observation chamber, a limiting sleeve fixedly installed inside the underground protective sleeve, a water storage chamber fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the underground protective sleeve, a first filter screen fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the water storage chamber, a second filter screen fixedly installed inside the first filter screen and communicating with the water storage chamber, an airbag slidably installed inside the water storage chamber, a fixed shaft fixedly installed on the top surface of the airbag and slidably connected to the limiting sleeve, a push plate fixedly installed on the top surface of the fixed shaft and slidably connected to the above-ground observation chamber.

[0008] Preferably, a fixing sleeve is fixedly installed on the top surface of the ground observation room, and a solar panel is fixedly installed on the top surface of the fixing sleeve.

[0009] Preferably, a motor is fixedly installed on the top surface of the ground observation room, and the motor operates inside the fixed sleeve.

[0010] Preferably, a motor is fixedly mounted at the end of the main shaft of the motor, a secondary gear is meshed with the outer side of the motor, and a movable plate is rotatably mounted on one side of the secondary gear.

[0011] Preferably, a limiting shaft is provided inside the other side of the movable plate for rotation, and the limiting shaft penetrates the soil layer.

[0012] Preferably, a sand-dredging machine is fixedly installed inside the airbag, and a pipe is fixedly installed on one side of the sand-dredging machine, with the pipe penetrating the first filter screen.

[0013] Preferably, a sand discharge port is provided on one side of the ground observation room, and the sand discharge port is connected to another pipe.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] This invention filters water from the soil layer through a first filter screen, then through a second filter screen. The groundwater then enters the water storage chamber and is propelled upwards by buoyancy. The airbag simultaneously moves the fixed shaft and the push plate upwards. Finally, when the push plate reaches a certain height, it contacts the sensor inside the observation chamber on the ground, triggering an alarm to alert the staff. This invention eliminates the need for large-scale excavation when detecting seepage in underground retaining structures, thus reducing workload, increasing efficiency, minimizing environmental damage and subsequent treatment. Furthermore, its simple structure utilizes only the buoyancy of water for detection. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this utility model provides a seepage detection device for foundation pit retaining walls, including a soil layer 1, an above-ground observation chamber 2 fixedly installed on the top surface of the soil layer 1, an underground protective sleeve 3 fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the above-ground observation chamber 2, a limiting sleeve 10 fixedly installed inside the underground protective sleeve 3, a water storage chamber 4 fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the underground protective sleeve 3, a first filter screen 5 fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the water storage chamber 4, a second filter screen 6 fixedly installed inside the first filter screen 5, and the interior of the second filter screen 6 communicating with the water storage chamber 4, an airbag 7 slidably installed inside the water storage chamber 4, a fixed shaft 8 fixedly installed on the top surface of the airbag 7, and the fixed shaft 8 slidably connected to the limiting sleeve 10. A push plate 9 is fixedly installed on the top surface of 8, and the push plate 9 is slidably connected to the ground observation chamber 2. The water inside the soil layer 1 is filtered through the first filter screen 5, and then filtered again through the second filter screen 6. The groundwater then enters the interior of the water storage chamber 4, and the airbag 7 is pushed up by buoyancy. The airbag 7 drives the push plate 9 to move upward. Finally, when the push plate 9 reaches a certain height, it contacts the sensor inside the ground observation chamber 2, and then issues an alarm to alert the staff. This is how to detect seepage in the underground retaining structure. It eliminates the need for large-scale excavation work, reduces damage to the surrounding environment and subsequent treatment work, and improves work efficiency.

[0024] Specifically, a fixed sleeve 19 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the ground observation room 2, and a solar panel is fixedly installed on the top surface of the fixed sleeve 19. The solar panel provides power for the operation of the underground device.

[0025] Furthermore, a motor 11 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the ground observation room 2, and the motor 11 works inside the fixed sleeve 19. The fixed sleeve 19 is also used to protect the motor 11 and its related components.

[0026] Furthermore, the motor 11 is fixedly installed at the end of the main shaft of the motor 11. The outer side of the motor 11 is connected to the auxiliary gear 13. A movable plate 15 is rotatably installed on one side of the auxiliary gear 13. After the alarm is triggered, the switch of the motor 11 is turned on. The motor 11 drives the main gear 12, and finally pushes the push plate 9 through the movable plate 15. If the buoyancy of the water pushes the push plate 9 to rise, then the resistance when the push plate 9 is pushed down is relatively small. If the mud and sand push the push plate 9 to move and rise, then the sand removal work needs to be carried out first.

[0027] It is worth noting that a limiting shaft is provided on the other side of the movable plate 15 for rotation, and the limiting shaft penetrates the soil layer 1. The limiting shaft is mainly to prevent the movable plate 15 from rotating with the threaded shaft 14, thereby limiting its movement.

[0028] It is worth noting that a sand-dredging machine 16 is fixedly installed inside the airbag 7, and a pipe 17 is fixedly installed on one side of the sand-dredging machine 16. The pipe 17 passes through the first filter screen 5, and sand-dredging work can be carried out through the sand-dredging machine 16.

[0029] It is worth mentioning that a sand discharge port 18 is provided on one side of the ground observation room 2, and the sand discharge port 18 is connected to another pipe 17. The sand discharge port 18 is used for sand discharge work.

[0030] Among them, the motor 11 and the sand-dredging machine 16 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail; at the same time, this utility model also includes a power supply, controller, and switch, which are not the main technical points of this patent and will not be described in detail; the "front, back, left, and right" perspectives of this device are as follows: Figure 1 The direction shown in the diagram is the reference.

[0031] Working principle and process:

[0032] Before using a seepage detection device for foundation pit retaining walls, the device is first buried inside the soil layer 1. If seepage occurs underground, the water will be filtered for the first time through the first filter screen 5, and then enter the water storage chamber 4 through the second filter screen 6. As the seepage becomes more severe, the airbag 7 will slowly float up. At the same time, the airbag 7 pushes the fixed shaft 8 and the push plate 9 to move. A limit sleeve 10 is set on the outside of the airbag 7 to limit the movement of the airbag 7. The underground protective sleeve 3 outside the limit sleeve 10 is used for connecting the upper and lower parts of the device. When the push plate 9 moves, it will touch the sensor inside the observation chamber 2 on the ground. This will trigger an alarm, and the staff will start to check the situation. At this time, the switch of the motor 11 inside the fixed sleeve 19 can be turned on. The motor 11 drives the main gear 12, the main gear 12 drives the auxiliary gear 13, and the auxiliary gear 14 drives the auxiliary gear 15. 3 drives the threaded shaft 14 to slide, the threaded shaft 14 pushes the moving plate 15, and the moving plate 15 pushes the push plate 9 at the same time. If the buoyancy of the water pushes the push plate 9 to rise, then the resistance when the push plate 9 is pushed down is relatively small. If the mud and sand push the push plate 9 to move and rise, then the sand removal work needs to be carried out first. Turn on the switch of the sand pumping machine 16, and the sand pumping machine 16 extracts the mud and sand inside the first filter screen 5 through the pipe 17, and finally discharges it through the sand discharge port 18. This device is also equipped with a solar panel to provide power for the underground power device. When conducting seepage detection on underground retaining structures, this utility model does not require large-scale excavation work, thereby reducing the workload, improving work efficiency, reducing damage to the surrounding environment, and reducing subsequent treatment work. Moreover, the structure is simple and only requires the buoyancy of water to conduct the detection.
