[0002] Trenchless pipe jacking is currently the main method for constructing underground utility tunnels, offering advantages such as environmental friendliness, short construction period, and low overall cost. Before the pipe jacking begins, a water-stopping device needs to be installed at the opening in the foundation pit wall. In existing technologies, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the water-stopping device generally includes a flange 12 and a water-stop ring 2. The flange 12 is installed at the starting opening of the foundation pit wall 1, and the water-stop ring 2 is installed on the flange 12, tightly covering the outer wall of the jacking pipe to prevent leakage. Although this structure can provide a certain degree of sealing and pressure maintenance, when there is a large amount of groundwater or mud in the tunnel, resulting in high pressure, the sealing part of the water-stop ring 2 may fold outward, creating a gap between the water-stop ring 2 and the outer wall of the jacking pipe. This can cause the water-stop ring 2 to fail to seal, leading to groundwater or mud leakage and affecting the jacking pipe construction. Utility Model Content

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "or / and" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 This embodiment provides a water-stopping device for pipe jacking construction, which includes a water-stopping ring 2 installed at the opening on the foundation pit wall 1 via an installation structure, multiple stop structures, and a pressure gauge. The following is a detailed explanation of each structure and the relationship between them:

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, the installation structure includes a base plate 7 and an annular plate 8. The base plate 7 is fixed to the pit wall 1 using expansion bolts 11, surrounding the opening in the pit wall 1 and providing a base for the installation of other components. A water-stop ring 2 is fitted onto the base plate 7, and is further improved by extending a reinforcing part 21 on its inner side. After installation, the reinforcing part 21 extends towards the interior of the opening. The reinforcing part 21 fits against the outer wall of the jacking pipe that will later extend into the opening, increasing the contact area and improving the sealing effect. Furthermore, the reinforcing part 21 abuts against the outer wall of the jacking pipe, making it less likely for the water-stop ring 2 to be pushed open by the pressure inside the pit. The annular plate 8 and the base plate 7 are located on either side of the water-stop ring 2. The annular plate 8 is positioned at the opening in the pit wall 1 and fixed to the base plate 7 using several bolts 9. At this point, the annular plate 8 and the base plate 7 clamp the water-stop ring 2 for fixed installation.

[0034] The stop structure is a key design feature of this invention. Multiple stop structures are evenly arranged along the circumference of the opening and installed on the side of the waterstop ring 2 away from the foundation pit wall 1 to prevent the waterstop ring 2 from overturning under pressure. Taking one stop structure as an example... Figure 5As shown, it includes: a fixed plate 3, a baffle 4, and two adjusting bolts 5. The baffle 4 is rotatably connected to the side of the fixed plate 3 near the water-stop ring 2. The rotatable connection point between the baffle 4 and the fixed plate 3 is used as the dividing line. One side of the fixed plate 3 located at the dividing line is set as a connecting part 31, and the other side is set as a limiting part 32. The area of ​​the connecting part 31 is larger than that of the limiting part 32 to prevent the limiting part 32 from being too long and affecting the installation of the jacking pipe. Two parallel waist holes 33 are opened in the area of ​​the connecting part 31. The two waist holes 33 are set along the length direction of the fixed plate 3, and the length direction of the waist holes 33 is towards the center of the water-stop ring 2. Bolts 6 are installed in both waist holes 33. The fixed plate 3 is detachably connected to the ring plate 8 by bolts 6, and the radial position of the fixed plate 3 (relative to the radial direction of the opening) can be adjusted through the waist holes 33. The function of the limiting part 32 is to limit the rotation angle of the baffle 4, so that the baffle 4 can only rotate inward relative to the opening and cannot rotate outward. Furthermore, two threaded through holes 34 are provided in the limiting part 32 area. Two adjusting bolts 5 are respectively set in the two threaded through holes 34. By rotating the adjusting threads, their relative positions on the fixed plate 3 are adjusted so that the ends of the adjusting bolts 5 abut against the baffle 4, thereby adjusting the rotation angle range of the baffle 4. The shape of the fixed plate 3 can be set as rectangular or trapezoidal, and the shape of the baffle 4 can be set as rectangular to facilitate production and installation. At the same time, the length of the baffle 4 can be set to be greater than half the length of the fixed plate 3, so that the baffle 4 is easier to adjust to abut against the water-stop ring 2, preventing the water-stop ring 2 from turning outward due to the baffle 4 being too short. In use, one side of the baffle 4 abuts against the outer side of the water-stop ring 2, and the other side abuts against the end of the adjusting bolt 5. The rigid structure of the baffle 4 prevents the water-stop ring 2 from turning outward. One stop structure can only play a partial blocking role, so multiple stop structures are required to work together. During installation, the interval between adjacent fixing plates 3 can be set to 20-100mm, which can achieve a good blocking effect while reducing the number of stop structures.

[0035] The pressure gauge can be a diaphragm pressure gauge, with its probe inserted between the jacking pipe and the inner wall of the opening to monitor the pressure on the side of the waterstop ring 2 near the foundation pit wall 1.

[0036] In another embodiment, the stop structure is consistent with the embodiment described above. For example... Figure 6As shown, the water-stopping device for pipe jacking construction can adopt a double-layer water-stop ring 2 structure, which includes two water-stop rings 2 arranged on the same axis. The two water-stop rings 2 are connected by a sleeve 10. One end of the sleeve 10 is connected to the ring plate 8 and fixes one water-stop ring 2. The other end of the sleeve 10 is clamped and fixed to the other water-stop ring 2 by a ring plate 8, thus forming a double-layer water-stop ring 2 structure. A stop structure is installed on the outer side (i.e., the side away from the foundation pit wall 1) of the ring plate 8 to further enhance the sealing effect of the water-stopping device for pipe jacking construction, and it has strong pressure resistance and will not easily cause sealing failure.

[0037] In another embodiment, the stop structure may further include a fixing plate 3 and a baffle 4. The fixing plate 3, as in the embodiments described above, is detachable from the mounting structure. Figure 7 The difference lies in that the baffle 4 is welded and fixed to the fixing plate 3. After being fixed, the baffle 4 is inclined towards the side of the water-stop ring 2, abutting against the water-stop ring 2, and the end of the baffle 4 away from the fixing plate 3 is flush with the inner side of the water-stop ring 2. This design allows one side of the baffle 4 to contact the outer wall of the pipe. Combined with the inclined design of the baffle 4, when the inner pressure of the water-stop ring 2 is too great and squeezes the baffle 4, the excessive pressure may force the baffle 4 to forcibly flip. At this time, since the end of the baffle 4 is blocked by the outer wall of the pipe, the flipping of the baffle 4 is restricted, thereby further increasing the blocking performance and reducing the possibility of sealing failure.

[0038] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0039] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
