Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe jacking machine technology, specifically a steel cylinder pipe jacking machine with front eaves support function. Background Technology

[0002] In urban underground pipeline construction, pipe jacking machines are the core equipment for trenchless pipeline laying. However, traditional pipe jacking machines often face the risk of upper collapse during operation, especially at the tunnel face. This risk is particularly prominent in municipal pipeline construction scenarios. For example, in some pipe jacking projects, the road surface above the pipe jacking section experiences heavy traffic, the top of the pipe is close to the road surface, and the stratum for pipe jacking is quicksand mixed with river pebbles of varying sizes. After the pipe jacking is excavated, the top collapse is severe, and with continuous high-speed traffic on the road, it can easily cause road subsidence, resulting in serious traffic accidents and injuries or fatalities to workers inside the pipe jacking area.

[0003] Therefore, some pipe jacking machines with protective mechanisms have emerged in the market. For example, the utility model disclosed in CN222436358U is a pipe jacking machine with protective functions for early tunnel support, including a pipe jacking machine and a top plate, with the top plate positioned at the top of the pipe jacking machine; connecting frames are provided on both sides of the bottom of the top plate. This type of support pipe jacking machine facilitates the cooperation of the top plate and elastic support components to provide elastic protection for the top position of the pipe jacking machine, shielding it from falling rocks inside the tunnel, preventing damage to the pipe jacking machine from falling rocks, and ensuring the construction progress as well as the safety of equipment and personnel.

[0004] However, this type of pipe jacking machine is mainly used in tunnel applications, which differs significantly from municipal pipeline construction. Municipal pipeline construction not only faces complex and variable geological conditions but also the additional pressure from road traffic. In areas where large machinery operations are prohibited, such as historical preservation zones and densely populated traffic areas, the cutterhead of the pipe jacking machine is often removed, and workers manually excavate inside the machine. This effectively reduces noise and vibration, but the risk of face collapse is greatly increased after the cutterhead is removed, seriously threatening the lives and health of workers. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a pipe jacking machine that can effectively solve the risk of face collapse in municipal pipeline construction. Utility Model Content

The pipe jacking machine, in conjunction with the steel cylinder 2, facilitates the insertion of the steel cylinder 2 into the soil at the working face under the hydraulic drive system of the main body 1, thereby providing support for the soil at the working face. The steel cylinder 2 is 1.8 meters long, 2.5 cm thick, and has an inner diameter of 2.16 meters. The steel cylinder 2 is made of Q345B high-strength steel. A fixing ring 3 is provided on the main body 1, and the rear end of the steel cylinder 2 is rotatably connected to the fixing ring 3.

It is used to monitor the axis deviation of the pipe jacking machine in real time and feed it back to the correction component 4.

[0058] Working Principle: During use, the correction component 4, along with the high-pressure oil pipe, solenoid valve, and hydraulic pump, is installed inside the steel cylinder 2. The steel cylinder 2 is then installed at the front end of the pipe jacking machine. The fixing ring 3 is fixed to the pipe jacking machine with bolts, ensuring its stability. The steel cylinder 2 and fixing ring 3 are then rotatably connected. During construction, the hydraulic drive system of the pipe jacking machine body 1 drives the steel cylinder 2 into the soil at the tunnel face. Workers then manually excavate the tunnel face, and the steel cylinder 2 effectively supports the tunnel face, preventing collapse. When the pipe jacking machine body 1 deviates, the correction component 4 is controlled to extend and retract to correct the deviation. For example, elevation adjustment: the pitch angle of the pipe jacking machine is adjusted and elevation deviation is corrected by synchronously extending and retracting the telescopic rods 414 of the top and bottom hydraulic cylinders 41 (e.g., the telescopic rod 414 of the top hydraulic cylinder 41 extends and the telescopic rod 414 of the bottom hydraulic cylinder 41 shortens, or vice versa). Horizontal adjustment: the horizontal deflection angle of the pipe jacking machine is adjusted and horizontal deviation is corrected by synchronously extending and retracting the telescopic rods 414 of the left and right hydraulic cylinders 41 (e.g., the telescopic rod 414 of the left hydraulic cylinder 41 extends and the telescopic rod 414 of the right hydraulic cylinder 41 shortens, or vice versa). The slurry and earth pressure balance control system adjusts the jacking speed and grouting parameters based on monitoring data to ensure the stability of the construction process and prevent accidents.

[0059] In summary, compared with the prior art, this application, by setting a front-end support steel cylinder 2 device at the front end of the pipe jacking machine, enables the steel cylinder 2 to support the soil in all directions, preventing the upper part of the tunnel face from collapsing and effectively preventing soil, sand, rocks, water, etc. from entering the working pipe, thus greatly improving the safety during construction. The four-directional correction components 4 installed inside the steel cylinder 2 can precisely control the jacking axis of the pipe jacking machine, keeping the elevation and horizontal deviations within a small range and ensuring the accuracy of the pipe jacking construction. The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. For those skilled in the art, this utility model can have various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
