Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tunnel pressure balancers, and more specifically, to a tunnel pressure balancer for high-pressure jet grouting pile construction. Background Technology
[0002] High-pressure jet grouting piles use high-pressure rotating nozzles to inject cement slurry into the soil layer and mix it with the soil to form a continuous, overlapping cement-reinforced body. The construction requires less land, has less vibration, and lower noise. It is generally used in conjunction with an in-hole pressure balancer, which can maintain stable pressure inside the hole during construction, reducing the risk of soil loosening or collapse. It can help control the water level and soil pressure inside the hole, ensuring that the jet grouting pile construction does not affect the stability of the surrounding soil.
[0003] In existing technologies, the pressure balancer inside the tunnel is generally fixed above the rotary nozzle by a clamp connection to prevent slurry leakage and to meet the needs of rapid installation and disassembly. However, since the rotary nozzle will be subjected to large vibrations during operation, the clamp connection may loosen over a long period of use, affecting the working stability of the pressure balancer, resulting in unstable slurry pressure and affecting the construction quality.
[0004] Therefore, we have made improvements and proposed an in-tunnel pressure balancer for high-pressure jet grouting pile construction. Utility Model Content

Then, rotate the worm gear to insert the eight inserts into the slots for fixation. The fixation is achieved through the self-locking action of the worm wheel and worm gear, which greatly improves the fixing effect of the pressure balancer body, enhances the stability of the pressure balancer operation and grout pressure, and ensures construction quality.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0037] Example 1
[0038] Please refer to Figure 1-8 A pressure balancer for high-pressure jet grouting pile construction includes a jet nozzle body 1. A pressure balancer body 11 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the jet nozzle body 1. Four lifting grooves 2 are formed on the inner surface of the pressure balancer body 11. A snap-fit component for fixing the pressure balancer body 11 to the surface of the jet nozzle body 1 is slidably connected to the inner surface of the lifting grooves 2. Two mounting grooves 3 are formed on the inner surface of the mounting grooves 3, and a sealing element is provided on the inner surface of the mounting grooves 3. The snap-fit component includes four lifting plates 21, which are slidably disposed within the four lifting grooves 2. Eight movable grooves 22 are formed on the inner surface of the pressure balancer body 11. Insert blocks 23 are slidably connected to the inner surface of the movable grooves 22. Mounting blocks 24 are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the insert blocks 23 and the lifting plates 21. A rotating plate 25 is rotatably connected between the inner surfaces of two mounting blocks 24 via a rotating shaft. Eight slots 26 are formed on the outer surface of the jet nozzle body 1, and the rotating plate 25 is slidably disposed within the slots 26. The pressure balancer body 11 has limit grooves 27 on both sides of the movable groove 22 inside. Limit blocks 28 are fixedly connected to both sides of the outer surface of the insert block 23, and the two limit blocks 28 are slidably disposed inside the two limit grooves 27 respectively. An auxiliary ring 29 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the pressure balancer body 11 on the outer surface of the rotary nozzle body 1. The sealing element includes a sealing ring 31, which is disposed inside the mounting groove 3. Two connecting rings 32 are fixedly connected between the inner surfaces of the four lifting plates 21, and the lower surface of the connecting rings 32 has an inclined surface. A threaded groove 41 is formed on the upper surface of one of the lifting plates 21, and a threaded rod 4 is threadedly connected to the inner surface of the threaded groove 41. The threaded rod 4 is rotatably connected to the pressure balancer body 11. A worm gear 5 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the threaded rod 4, and a worm 51 is meshed with the outer surface of the worm gear 5. A protective cover 52 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the pressure balancer body 11, and the worm 51 is rotatably connected to the protective cover 52.
[0039] Implementation Process: During installation, the pressure balancer body 11 is fitted onto the vortex nozzle body 1. The auxiliary ring 29 on the outer surface of the vortex nozzle body 1 provides initial positioning and support for the pressure balancer body 11. Then, the worm gear 51 is rotated, causing the worm wheel 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the threaded rod 4 to rotate. Since the threaded rod 4 is threadedly connected to the threaded groove 41 on one of the lifting plates 21, and is rotatably connected to the pressure balancer body 11, its rotation causes the lifting plate 21 to slide downwards within the lifting groove 2. This causes the sealing ring 31 and the other three lifting plates 21 to slide synchronously. As the lifting plate 21 moves, it moves the mounting block 24 fixedly connected to it, causing the rotating plate to rotate. As the moving plate 25 rotates, it drives the insert block 23 to slide within the movable groove 22, causing the insert block 23 to insert into the slot 26 on the outer surface of the rotary nozzle body 1. This fixes the pressure balancer body 11 onto the rotary nozzle body 1. Simultaneously, as the connecting ring 32 moves downward, its lower inclined surface contacts the mounting block 24, causing the mounting block 24 to deform and fit tightly against the inner walls of the rotary nozzle body 1 and the mounting groove 3, further enhancing the sealing effect and preventing leakage of slurry or gas during the rotary spraying process. When it is necessary to remove the pressure balancer body 11 from the surface of the rotary nozzle body 1, simply rotate the worm gear 51 in the reverse direction. The rotary nozzle body 1 and the pressure balancer body 11 are existing technologies and will not be explained here.
[0040] Benefits of implementation: Enhanced sealing effect, preventing leakage of slurry or gas during the rotary spraying process.
