Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grouting technology, specifically a grouting device for consolidating sand layers before excavation of underground tunnels. Background Technology

[0002] In mined tunnel construction, sand layers (especially water-rich fine sand layers) pose a core challenge to construction safety due to their loose and highly permeable nature. While traditional grouting reinforcement techniques can improve ground stability, they still have significant limitations in practical applications.

[0003] Conventional cement-water glass two-component grout has difficulty effectively penetrating into the pores of sand layers due to the large particle size and poor rheological properties, resulting in low strength and uneven distribution of the consolidated body. Traditional advanced small-diameter pipe grouting requires frequent adjustments to the pipe angle, causing severe disturbance to the sand layer during installation and easily leading to local collapses. At the same time, the installation of long pipes requires multiple segmented grouting, which is complex and inefficient. Existing grouting devices are mostly designed for clay or fractured rock layers and lack structural optimization for sand layer characteristics. The industry has attempted to improve the results through material improvements (such as modified water glass grout) and process innovations (such as forward segmented grouting). However, existing technologies still have shortcomings in the following aspects:

[0004] The structural design flaws make the connection between the grouting head and the delivery pipeline prone to sealing failure due to sand abrasion, and there is a lack of anti-backflow structure for grout returning to the sand layer; it relies on manual adjustment of grouting parameters and cannot automatically optimize the grouting scheme based on real-time monitoring data (such as flow rate and pressure fluctuations); traditional equipment is bulky and difficult to adapt to the narrow working space in the tunnel, affecting the construction progress.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a grouting device for consolidating sand layers before excavation of mined tunnels. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a grouting device for consolidating sand layers before excavation of underground tunnels. It features easy replacement of the grouting head and the connection between the grouting head and the delivery pipeline, control over the grouting flow rate, and convenient mobility to adapt to the narrow working space inside the tunnel, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a grouting device for consolidating sand layers before excavation of a tunnel, comprising a feeding cylinder, a mixing chamber, and outer uprights.

An installation plate is provided on the end of the feeding cylinder away from the motor. A conveying hose is fixedly connected to the side of the installation plate, and a grouting head is fixedly connected to the end of the conveying hose.

[0008] Preferably, a crossbeam is fixedly connected to the top of the mixing chamber, a second motor is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the crossbeam, and an agitator is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor. The agitator has an S-shaped design.

[0009] Preferably, a scraper is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the stirring paddle, and the bottom end of the scraper abuts against the inner bottom of the stirring chamber.

[0010] Preferably, a bracket is fixedly connected to the side of the outer panel, and the top of the bracket abuts against the bottom of the mixing chamber.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom end of the outer panel is fixedly equipped with casters.

[0012] Preferably, one end of the feeding cylinder is fixedly connected to an installation ring, the surface of the installation ring is provided with a gourd groove, one side surface of the mounting plate is fixedly connected to a threaded post, the threaded post is movably inserted into the inside of the gourd groove, the surface of the threaded post is threadedly connected to a nut, one side of the nut is tightly abutting against the back of the installation ring.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] This grouting device, used for consolidating sand layers before excavation of underground tunnels, achieves uniform grout delivery through a built-in pusher propeller in the feeding cylinder. A single motor provides stable power to maintain continuous operation. The external upright plate and support frame form a double-support structure, enhancing overall stability and reducing operational vibration. The receiving hopper and mounting plate work together to efficiently guide the grout flow and quickly connect the delivery hose. The grouting head ensures precise injection of the grout into the target area. An S-shaped mixing blade and scraper added to the top of the mixing chamber work together, driven by a second motor to generate multi-dimensional shearing force, improving the mixing uniformity of the sand layer and grout, and scraping off adhering materials to prevent sedimentation and clumping. The moving wheels give the device flexible mobility to adapt to the complex working conditions of underground tunnels. The adjustable mechanism composed of a gourd groove and threaded column, combined with a nut locking function, supports rapid adaptation of the delivery hose's installation angle and height, significantly improving construction compatibility and efficiency.
