[0021] In order to further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by the utility model to achieve the predetermined utility model purposes, the specific implementation, structure, features and effects of the utility model will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings and preferred embodiments.
[0022] As Figs. 1-2As shown, the air-lift reverse circulation suction device for deep water bridge includes a water jet pipe 3, a slag discharge pipe 1, a gas supply pipe 5 and a plurality of steel plates 7; the slag discharge pipe 1 is hollow inside, the lower part of the gas supply pipe 5 is communicated with the lower part of the slag discharge pipe 1, and is used for conveying compressed air into the slag discharge pipe 1, the water jet pipe 3 is arranged on one side of the slag discharge pipe 1, and the bottom of the water jet pipe 3 is higher than the bottom of the slag discharge pipe 1, the water jet pipe 3 is used for providing high-pressure water, and the slag discharge pipe 1 discharges the mud-water upward; the gas supply pipe 5 and the water jet pipe 3 are welded on the slag discharge pipe 1 through the steel plates 7;
[0023] The lower part of the gas supply pipe 5 is communicated with the lower part of the slag discharge pipe 1, and the air-lift effect is formed by conveying compressed air into the slag discharge pipe 1; when the compressed air rises in the slag discharge pipe 1, an upward buoyancy is generated, which helps to push the mud-water mixture upward, and at the same time, the air-lift effect can also effectively prevent the slag discharge pipe 1 from sinking or excessively swinging due to the weight of the mud-water; the water jet pipe 3 is arranged on one side of the slag discharge pipe 1, and the bottom of the water jet pipe 3 is higher than the bottom of the slag discharge pipe 1, the high-pressure water is injected into the inside of the slag discharge pipe 1 through the water jet pipe 3, and forms a reverse circulation with the compressed air and the mud-water mixture, which helps to further stir the mud-water, so that it is more easily sucked into the slag discharge pipe 1 and discharged upward, and at the same time, the reverse circulation can also increase the pressure inside the slag discharge pipe 1, which helps to stabilize the position of the slag discharge pipe 1;
[0024] The gas supply pipe 5, the water jet pipe 3 and the slag discharge pipe 1 are welded on site through the steel plates 7, the steel plates 7 are selected to be 10*10*1cm specifications, and the welding seams between the gas supply pipe 5, the water jet pipe 3 and the slag discharge pipe 1 are full, the gas supply pipe 5, the water jet pipe 3 and the slag discharge pipe 1 are welded together, which limits the habitual activity space between the three, enhances the stability of the entire device, and the welding of the steel plates 7 not only provides additional support, but also prevents the structure from loosening or being damaged due to water flow, which helps to ensure the stability of the position of the slag discharge pipe 1 in the water and prevent floating.
[0025] In an embodiment, the lower part of the water jet pipe 3 is provided with a water jet opening, the upper part of the water jet pipe 3 is connected with the high-pressure water pump 2, the high-pressure water pump 2 is used for outputting high-pressure water into the water jet pipe 3, and the diameter of the water jet opening is smaller than the pipe diameter of the water jet pipe 3, specifically, the diameter of the water jet opening is reduced by 8mm than the pipe diameter, so as to increase the water jet pressure.
[0026] In an embodiment, the number of steel plates 7 used to weld the water jet pipe 3 is at least two, evenly arranged at both ends of the water jet pipe 3, not only dispersing the stress of the welding points and reducing the structural weakness that may be caused by single-point welding, but also enhancing the connection strength between the water jet pipe 3 and the deslagging pipe 1 through multi-point fixation; the welding of multiple steel plates 7 makes the water jet pipe 3 more stably fixed on the deslagging pipe 1, and even in the case of strong water flow or high-pressure water jet, it can maintain its position unchanged. The thickness of the steel plate 7 arranged at the bottom of the water jet pipe 3 is greater than that of the steel plate 7 arranged at the upper part. This differentiated design takes into account the stress condition of the water jet pipe 3 during use. The bottom steel plate 7 needs to withstand greater water pressure and scouring force, so a thicker steel plate 7 is used to improve its pressure resistance and scouring resistance. The upper steel plate 7 can use a thinner steel plate 7 to reduce the weight of the entire device, ensuring the strength of the water jet pipe 3 at the key position and optimizing the weight distribution of the overall structure.
[0027] In an embodiment, the air supply pipe 5, the water jet pipe 3, and the deslagging pipe 1 are all seamless steel pipes and are arranged within the cofferdam 10. Seamless steel pipes have higher strength and better sealing performance than seamed steel pipes. In deep water environments, seamless steel pipes can better withstand water pressure, scouring force, and other external forces, reducing the risk of reduced suction efficiency and safety hazards caused by pipe rupture or leakage. The inner wall of the seamed steel pipe is smooth, reducing the resistance and energy loss of the fluid flowing in the pipe. For the air supply pipe 5, this helps to ensure that compressed air is delivered to the deslagging pipe 1 with higher efficiency, forming a stronger gas lift effect. For the water jet pipe 3, the smooth inner wall allows high-pressure water to be more smoothly injected into the deslagging pipe 1, enhancing the reverse circulation effect. In addition, arranging the air supply pipe 5, the water jet pipe 3, and the deslagging pipe 1 within the cofferdam 10 helps to reduce the direct impact and disturbance of external water flow on the pipes. The cofferdam 10 provides a relatively stable working environment, allowing the pipe system to better perform its functions and reducing the risk of pipe displacement or damage caused by water scouring.
[0028] In an embodiment, the bottom of the deslagging pipe 1 is also provided with a fan blade 8, which is arranged in a cross shape at the bottom of the deslagging pipe 1. The fan blade 8 is made of 14mm steel material. When the compressed air and high-pressure water in the deslagging pipe 1 jointly push the mud-water mixture upward, the fan blade 8 will rotate with the fluid flow in the deslagging pipe 1. The rotation of the fan blade 8 produces additional stirring effect, which helps to more effectively involve the mud deposited at the bottom or around the deslagging pipe 1 into the pipe, thereby improving the mud suction efficiency. The fan blade 8 is arranged in a cross shape at the bottom of the deslagging pipe 1, which can more evenly distribute the stirring effect and reduce the dead angle of fluid flow. At the same time, the cross-shaped layout also helps to guide the fluid to flow along the inner wall of the deslagging pipe 1, reducing the erosion and wear of the fluid to the pipe wall and prolonging the service life of the deslagging pipe 1. The fan blade 8 is made of 14mm steel material, which has high strength and wear resistance. In a deep water environment, the fan blade 8 needs to withstand a large amount of water flow and wear of the mud-water mixture. Therefore, using thick steel material can ensure that the fan blade 8 is not easily damaged during long-term use and maintains its stirring effect.
[0029] In an embodiment, the air supply pipe 5 is radially L-shaped. The air supply pipe 5 adopts a radial L-shaped design, which means that it extends from the main air source and then bends at a certain angle to connect to the lower part of the deslagging pipe 1. This design allows compressed air to enter the deslagging pipe 1 more directly, reducing the turning and loss of airflow in the pipe, improving the efficiency of the gas lift effect, and setting a screen 6 at the connection between the air supply pipe 5 and the deslagging pipe 1. The screen 6 has a moderate pore size that allows compressed air to pass through while effectively blocking mud and impurities from entering the air supply pipe 5. In this way, even if the deslagging pipe 1 is filled with mud-water mixture, the screen 6 can still play a filtering role to prevent the mud from clogging the air supply pipe 5, ensuring the continuous supply of compressed air.
[0030] In an embodiment, it also includes a rubber pipe 4 and an air compressor 9. The air compressor 9 is arranged on the ground. The air compressor 9 is connected to the air supply pipe 5 through the rubber pipe 4. The air compressor 9 delivers compressed air to the air supply pipe 5 through the rubber pipe 4. The rubber pipe 4 serves as a bridge connecting the air compressor 9 and the air supply pipe 5, and has good flexibility, high pressure resistance, corrosion resistance and other characteristics, which can adapt to different terrains and environments, ensuring the safe and stable transmission of compressed air from the air compressor 9 to the air supply pipe 5.
