[0021] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0022] As shown in Figures 1-3, this utility model embodiment proposes a reinforcement device for the blank area of a municipal drainage pipeline trench. The trench 1 being reinforced has an existing pipeline 11 that intersects with a newly built pipeline 12, and there is a blank area to be reinforced. The device includes several fixed piles 2, walers 4, supports 5, support plates 3, crossbeams 6, and slings 7. The fixed piles 2 are inserted side by side into both sides of the trench 1. The walers 4 are fixed to the fixed piles 2 on both sides of the blank area. The supports 5 are fixed in a planar manner to the fixed piles 2 and walers 4 on both sides of the blank area. The support plates 3 are set between the supports 5 and the side walls of the trench 1 to form a retaining wall. The crossbeams 6 are erected on the side walls of both sides of the trench 1 and are located above the existing pipeline 11. The slings 7 are sleeved on the crossbeams 6 and the existing pipeline 11 to fix the existing pipeline 11.
[0023] During construction, several fixed piles 2 are first inserted side-by-side into the soil on both sides of the trench 1, firmly rooting them in the foundation to form foundation support points. Next, walers 4 are fixed to the fixed piles 2 on both sides of the empty area, connecting the fixed piles 2 to enhance overall stability. Then, planar supports 5 are fixed to the fixed piles 2 and walers 4 on both sides of the empty area. Subsequently, support plates 3 are installed between the supports 5 and the sidewalls of the trench 1 to form a retaining wall, preventing soil slippage and collapse. For existing pipelines 11 that intersect with the newly constructed pipeline 12 within the trench 1, crossbeams 6 are erected on the sidewalls of both sides of the trench 1 and positioned above the existing pipelines 11. Suspension cables 7 are then fitted onto the crossbeams 6 and the existing pipelines 11, using the tension of the suspension cables 7 to fix the existing pipelines 11 in a stable position, preventing soil disturbance during construction from affecting the existing pipelines 11 and ensuring the safety and stability of the entire construction process.
[0024] In this embodiment, the fixed pile 2 is a Larsen IV sheet pile. Larsen IV sheet piles have a high section modulus and interlock strength, which can provide good resistance to lateral displacement and stability after being inserted into the soil.
[0025] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the waler 4 includes steel brackets and steel purlins 42. The steel brackets are spaced apart and welded to the fixed piles 2, and the steel purlins 42 are horizontally arranged and welded to the steel brackets and fixed piles 2. The waler 4 is composed of steel brackets and steel purlins 42. The steel brackets are spaced apart and welded to the fixed piles 2 as a supporting structure, and the steel purlins 42 are horizontally welded to the steel brackets and fixed piles 2, forming a continuous load-bearing system. This structure can transfer the pressure of the soil on the support structure to the fixed piles 2. This improves the bearing capacity of the waler 4 and the connection stability to the fixed piles 2, enabling the entire reinforcement device to better resist soil pressure and ensure the stability of the unsupported area of the trench 1.
[0026] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 3, the walers 4 are provided in at least one layer, erected according to the excavation depth of the trench 1. By erecting at least one layer of walers 4 according to the excavation depth of the trench 1, the soil pressure increases with the increase in excavation depth. By increasing the number of waler layers 4, the soil pressure can be distributed to different layers of walers 4 and fixed piles 2. This can adapt to the construction needs of trenches 1 at different depths, effectively cope with the changes in soil pressure caused by changes in excavation depth, and ensure that the reinforcement device can play a good support role under various working conditions.
[0027] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, steel pipe supports 43 are welded between the walers 4, and the steel pipe supports 43 are spaced apart. The spaced steel pipe supports 43 welded between the walers 4 can form a stable supporting structure between the walers 4, enhancing the mutual support force and overall stability between the walers 4.
[0028] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 3, the support 5 includes horizontal steel pipe supports 51 and vertical steel pipe supports 52. The horizontal and vertical steel pipe supports 51 and 52 are welded in a grid pattern and are both welded to the fixed piles 2 and the walers 4. The support 5 is formed by welding the horizontal and vertical steel pipe supports 51 and 52 in a grid pattern, and all are welded to the fixed piles 2 and the walers 4, forming a robust planar frame structure. This structure can effectively transfer soil pressure to the fixed piles 2 and the walers 4, while also possessing good resistance to deformation. This enhances the support of the support 5 for the retaining plate 3, improves the overall strength and stability of the support 5, and better retains the earth wall, preventing soil collapse.
[0029] In this embodiment, steel bars are welded to the horizontal steel pipe support 51 and the vertical steel pipe support 52 when there is a gap between them and the fixed pile 2. When there is a gap between the horizontal steel pipe support 51 and the vertical steel pipe support 52 and the fixed pile 2, the welded steel bars connect the steel pipe to the fixed pile 2, forming a unified whole. This allows the soil pressure borne by the steel pipe to be better transmitted to the fixed pile 2. This ensures an effective connection between the support 5 and the fixed pile 2, enhances the cooperative force-bearing capacity between the support 5 and the fixed pile 2, and improves the stability and reliability of the entire reinforcement device.
[0030] In this embodiment, the support plate 3 is either a steel plate or a wooden board. Steel plates have high strength and rigidity, enabling them to withstand significant soil pressure; wooden boards offer flexibility and cost-effectiveness. Selecting the appropriate support plate 3 based on actual construction needs can effectively retain the earth wall.
[0031] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 3, the crossbeam 6 is made of I-beam steel, and supports 61 are provided at both ends of the crossbeam 6. The crossbeam 6 is made of I-beam steel, which has high bending strength and load-bearing capacity. The supports 61 at both ends of the crossbeam 6 can evenly transfer the load borne by the crossbeam 6 to the sidewall of the trench 1.
[0032] In this embodiment, the sling 7 is made of steel cable, and a rubber pad is placed between the sling 7 and the existing pipeline 11. The steel cable 7 has high strength and tensile strength, and can withstand the weight of the existing pipeline 11 and the tension during construction. The rubber pad placed between the sling 7 and the existing pipeline 11 has a certain degree of elasticity and cushioning performance, which can reduce the wear and pressure concentration on the existing pipeline 11 caused by the steel cable.
[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
