The remaining 270° range is then filled with gravel and backfilled with neat cement grout. Existing tunnel segment lining grouting plugs mostly use conventional plugs from building construction, mining, and underground construction. These plugs have drawbacks such as difficult operation, easy detachment, complex structure, and susceptibility to damage. They are poorly suited for tunnel segment lining grouting, especially when the segment thickness or working hole size changes, and cannot be reused. Utility Model Content

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this utility model includes an inner tube 2 disposed in the working hole 1 of the tube segment. The inner tube 2 is hollow inside. A rubber sleeve 3, a steel sleeve 4 and a fastening head 5 are arranged sequentially from bottom to top on the inner tube 2. The rubber sleeve 3, the steel sleeve 4 and the fastening head 5 are all fitted on the inner tube 2, and the rubber sleeve 3, the steel sleeve 4 and the fastening head 5 are all coaxially arranged with the inner tube 2.
[0023] The rubber sleeve 3 is fitted onto the bottom of the inner tube 2, and steel gaskets 6 are horizontally provided at both the top and bottom of the rubber sleeve 3.
[0024] The steel sleeve 4 is vertically arranged on the top of the rubber sleeve 3. The diameter of the steel sleeve 4 is not greater than the diameter of the rubber sleeve 3. The bottom of the steel sleeve 4 and the top of the steel gasket 6 are in close contact.
[0025] The fastening head 5 is vertically positioned on the top of the steel sleeve 4. The diameter of the fastening head 5 is larger than the diameter of the steel sleeve 4. The fastening head 5 is threadedly connected to the inner tube 2. The bottom of the fastening head 5 is in contact with the top of the steel sleeve 4.
[0026] In actual use, the grouting plug is inserted into the working hole 1 of the tunnel segment during grouting. The working hole 1 is sealed by the principle of large friction generated by the expansion of the rubber sleeve 3 against the hole wall of the tunnel segment working hole 1, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing grout leakage under a certain pressure. The operation is simple and the grouting plug is not easy to fall off after expansion. Moreover, the use of the rubber sleeve 3, steel sleeve 4 and fastening head 5 to seal the working hole 1 of the tunnel segment is not affected by the change of tunnel segment thickness. It can be reused repeatedly, effectively reducing construction costs. It is highly applicable to tunnel segment lining grouting.
[0027] It should be noted that the inner tube 2 is the main body of the grouting plug, and the grout is injected through the tube to achieve the construction purpose. The rubber sleeve 3 is an important component of the grouting plug. The rubber sleeve 3 has good deformation capacity. After being connected to the working hole 1 of the pipe segment, it is deformed and expanded by the fastening head 5, supporting the inner wall of the working hole 1 of the pipe segment and fixing the grouting plug as a whole. The steel gasket 6 provides a fixing and protection function for the rubber sleeve 3. The steel sleeve 4 is installed between the fastening head 5 and the rubber sleeve 3 to transmit the pressure of rotating the fastening head 5. The steel sleeve 4 has a small thickness, which helps to reduce the resistance encountered by the fastening head 5 when rotating. The fastening head 5 is installed at the thread of the second inner tube section 9. By rotating the fastening head 5, the rubber sleeve 3 is squeezed and deformed and expanded.
[0028] In particular, the main body of this grouting plug is made of steel, making it resistant to damage. The components of this grouting plug—inner tube 2, rubber sleeve 3, steel sleeve 4, fastening head 5, steel gasket 6, and handle 7—are made from readily available and durable raw materials. This grouting plug can be quickly fixed and disassembled during grouting using the fastening head 5, ensuring efficient and rapid construction. The rubber sleeve 3 is easy to replace when damaged, resulting in high efficiency.
[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the inner tube 2 has a four-segment structure. The inner tube 2 includes a first inner tube segment 8, a second inner tube segment 9, a third inner tube segment 10, and a fourth inner tube segment 11 connected sequentially from bottom to top. The diameters of the first inner tube segment 8, the second inner tube segment 9, and the third inner tube segment 10 decrease sequentially. The diameters of the third inner tube segment 10 and the fourth inner tube segment 11 are equal. The first inner tube segment 8, the second inner tube segment 9, the third inner tube segment 10, and the fourth inner tube segment 11 are coaxially arranged. The interiors of the first inner tube segment 8, the second inner tube segment 9, the third inner tube segment 10, and the fourth inner tube segment 11 are all hollow and interconnected. A mounting plate 12 is horizontally arranged at the bottom of the first inner tube segment 8. The first inner tube segment 8, the second inner tube segment 9, the third inner tube segment 10, the fourth inner tube segment 11, and the mounting plate 12 are integrally formed.
[0030] In actual use, in order to ensure normal grouting and installation, the mounting plate 12 and the steel gasket 6 are both provided with holes that communicate with the inside of the inner tube 2.
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the rubber sleeve 3 is fitted below the first inner through pipe section 8, and the top surface of the steel gasket 6 at the bottom of the rubber sleeve 3 is in close contact with the bottom surface of the clamping plate 12; the steel sleeve 4 is fitted above the first inner through pipe section 8; the fastening head 5 is fitted on the second inner through pipe section 9, and the outer side of the second inner through pipe section 9 is threaded; the outer side of the fourth inner through pipe section 11 is threaded.
[0032] In actual use, it is connected to the grouting pipe through the thread on the outer side of the fourth inner pipe section 11.
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a handle 7 is provided on the outer side of the fastening head 5, and the fastening head 5 and the handle 7 are integrally formed.
[0034] In actual use, the handle 7 is welded to both sides of the fastening head 5, which facilitates the rotation of the fastening head 5.
[0035] When using this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, M15 cement mortar is injected within a 90° range of the bottom segment 13. The cement mortar injection system for the bottom segment 13 is mounted on a rear-mounted trailer and consists of a cement mortar mixing machine and a grouting pump. The grouting plug injects grout between the bottom segment 13 and the surrounding rock. Before grouting, the grouting plug is installed on the working hole 1 of the segment, and the fixing head 5 is tightened to expand the rubber sleeve 3, ensuring a tight fit with the hole wall of the working hole 1 and achieving a stable state. Simultaneously, the grouting fluid is prepared. After the grouting fluid is prepared, the grouting pipe is connected to the grouting plug, and grouting is performed. The grouting pipe and the grouting plug are mechanically threaded together, and a valve is installed at the connection point for grout sealing. After the grouting standard is met, the valve between the grouting pipe and the grouting plug is tightly closed, and the grouting pipe is disassembled. When the grout reaches initial setting, loosen the fastening head 5 to cause the rubber sleeve 3 to shrink, creating a gap between it and the working hole 1 of the segment. Then, pull out the grouting plug.
[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not constitute any limitation on the present utility model. Any simple modifications, alterations, or equivalent structural changes made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
