Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe jacking machine technology, and more specifically, to a sealing device for pipe jacking machine entering and exiting a tunnel. Background Technology
[0002] Pipe jacking machines are modern engineering construction equipment mainly used for trenchless underground municipal engineering projects. They can lay underground pipelines in complex environments such as highways, railways, rivers, surface buildings, and underground structures without excavating the surface. The entrance and exit of the pipe jacking machine need to be sealed.
[0003] A search revealed that utility model patent CN209780908U discloses a sealing device for entering and exiting a pipe jacking machine, comprising a device body and a pipe body. Both the device body and the pipe body are precast concrete ring-shaped structures. A fixing sleeve is provided at one end of the device body, and a fixing outer tube is provided inside the device body on one side of the fixing sleeve. A fixing inner tube is provided inside the device body on the inner side of the fixing outer tube, and an annular hollow groove is provided between the fixing inner tube and the fixing outer tube. A spiral rubber guide tube is spirally wound inside the annular hollow groove, and one end of the spiral rubber guide tube extends to the outside of the fixing sleeve and is provided with a rubber inlet. An annular rubber sealing ring is provided at the inner edge of the fixing sleeve, and a spiral rubber sealing ring is spirally wound on the inner side wall of the fixing inner tube. There are gap cavities between the spiral rubber sealing rings and between the annular rubber sealing rings and the spiral rubber sealing rings. This patent has high sealing performance, good effect, and is easy to use.
[0004] However, the aforementioned patents still have the following shortcomings: when grouting between the device body and the pipe body, air exists between them, and direct grouting makes it difficult to expel the air, easily forming cavities; furthermore, as the pipe is continuously laid, the annular rubber sealing ring will be constantly subjected to friction and wear, making it difficult to block subsequent grout or adhesive, thus affecting the smooth progress of grouting or adhesive injection. Therefore, we propose a sealing device for the entry and exit of a pipe jacking machine. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a sealing device for the entry and exit of a pipe jacking machine.
[0006] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

The end of the exhaust hole is connected to the end of the air-collecting groove.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the inflatable sealing mechanism includes an annular groove disposed on the inner wall of the outer fixed sleeve and a through hole disposed on the side of the outer fixed sleeve. An annular airbag is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the annular groove, and an air injection tube is fixedly connected to the side of the annular airbag. The end of the air injection tube extends through the through hole to the outside of the outer fixed sleeve and is fixedly connected to an internally threaded tube. An externally threaded plug is threaded onto the top of the internally threaded tube.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the outer side of the inner fixing sleeve is fixedly connected with a plurality of reinforcing nails.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the inner wall of the perforation is in contact with the side of the air injection tube.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the two sides of the annular airbag are respectively fitted to the two sides of the annular groove cavity.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the inner diameters of the outer fixing sleeve and the inner fixing sleeve are equal, and the inner diameters of the outer fixing sleeve and the inner fixing sleeve are larger than the outer diameter of the pipe.
[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0014] (1) In this utility model, when grout is injected from the grouting port, the annular grouting groove, the annular grouting groove and the grouting hole into the gap between the outer fixed sleeve, the inner wall of the inner fixed sleeve and the outer side of the pipe, the air in the gap is discharged by the air outlet, the air collection groove and the exhaust hole to ensure the quality of grouting and sealing and to avoid the formation of cavities. In addition, when grout is discharged from the air outlet, the air collection groove and the exhaust hole, it means that the annular grouting groove, the annular grouting groove, the grouting hole and the gap are filled with grout to ensure the quality of grouting and sealing.
[0015] (2) In this utility model, by using the annular groove, annular airbag, air injection pipe, internal threaded pipe and external threaded plug in combination, when the pipeline is laid, the annular airbag is located in the inner cavity of the annular groove. When grouting is required between the outer fixing sleeve, the inner fixing sleeve and the pipeline, air is injected into the inner cavity of the annular airbag through the air injection pipe and the internal threaded pipe, so that the annular airbag expands and seals between the outer fixing sleeve and the pipeline, preventing the grout from overflowing from the gap between the outer fixing sleeve and the pipeline, ensuring the quality of grouting and sealing, and having good practicality.
