AI Technical Summary
In construction sites with silt and thin layers of sand, existing correction methods cannot effectively solve the deviation problem caused by uneven excavation of the soil layer below the cutting edge during the sinking of the caisson. In particular, long-arm excavators cannot effectively handle this, resulting in the caisson tilting.
High-pressure water jets are used on one side of the sheet pile to flush the cutting edge of the caisson. The caisson is slowly corrected by sinking without draining water, utilizing existing machinery and materials to reduce costs.
This effectively solved the problem of caisson settling, shortened the construction period, reduced the cost of correction, and improved construction efficiency and economic benefits.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of caisson construction technology, specifically an auxiliary correction device for caissons that are not drained during sinking. Background Technology
[0002] During the construction of caissons, tilting is prone to occur. After the caisson tilts, it needs to be corrected. Currently, there are various methods used in the construction of caissons in China to correct tilting, such as the main methods of deflection correction, large-angle tilt correction, and asymmetrical soil removal correction, supplemented by external backfilling and excavation.
[0003] However, the following problems were found in the implementation of the relevant technologies: due to the fact that some project sites are located in silt mixed with thin layers of sand and the construction site is limited, the soil layer under the cutting edge of the caisson cannot be uniformly removed by the long-arm excavator. The sand layer on one side of the caisson accumulates under the cutting edge, which is very easy to cause uneven deviation during the sinking process. None of the above methods are suitable for solving the vertical displacement deviation of this caisson. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this utility model provides an auxiliary correction device for caissons that does not require drainage. This device effectively solves the problem of uneven sinking of caissons. By flushing away the silt and sand accumulated at the cutting edge of the caisson through two high-pressure water jets on one side of the steel sheet pile, the caisson is slowly corrected. This device has the advantage of shortening the correction time during the non-drainage sinking process. Furthermore, it utilizes existing machinery and materials on the construction site, resulting in low cost.

[0006] Preferably, rubber sheets are bonded to the outer walls of both symmetrical sides of the sheet pile, and the rubber sheets are flush with the corresponding sides of the sheet pile.
[0007] Preferably, the sheet pile has multiple reinforcing ribs fixedly inserted side by side inside, and the reinforcing ribs are flush with the corresponding sides of the sheet pile.
[0008] Preferably, an installation block is installed on one side of the outer wall of the steel sheet pile, and the top of the installation block is constructed with an installation hole.
[0009] Preferably, the mounting block and the sheet pile are provided with multiple fixing holes arranged side by side on their corresponding sides, and fixing bolts are screwed between the corresponding fixing holes.
[0010] Preferably, multiple diagonal bracing plates are welded side-by-side between the bottom of the mounting block and the corresponding side of the sheet pile.

[0012] 1. This utility model effectively solves the problem of caisson sinking due to soil and sand accumulation at the cutting edge of the caisson, saving construction time and correction costs, and creating good economic and social benefits.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this utility model provides an auxiliary correction device for a non-drained sinking caisson, including a steel sheet pile 1. Two water-jetting steel pipes 2 are arranged side by side on one inner wall of the steel sheet pile 1. The water-jetting steel pipes 2 are ordinary seamless steel pipes with an inner diameter of 54mm and a wall thickness of 0.5mm. The length of each steel pipe is determined to be 12m according to the length of the steel sheet pile. Two annular buckles 3 are fitted side by side on the side wall of the water-jetting steel pipes 2, and two mounting bolts 4 are symmetrically installed between the annular buckles 3 and the corresponding side of the steel sheet pile 1. Any loose sections need to be welded, and care must be taken to prevent the water jetting steel pipe 2 from being welded through. Ensure that the water jetting steel pipe 2 can be stably fixed to the corresponding side of the steel sheet pile 1. The bottom of the water jetting steel pipe 2 is connected to a high-pressure water gun nozzle 5, and the top of the water jetting steel pipe 2 is connected to a threaded cylinder 6. The threaded connection facilitates the connection of the water supply hose 7, and the outer thread of the threaded cylinder 6 is connected to the water supply hose 7. The other end of the water supply hose 7 is connected to an external high-pressure water pump. The high-pressure water pump pumps water through the water jetting steel pipe 2 and sprays it out from the high-pressure water gun nozzle 5.
[0022] Specifically, rubber sheets 8 are bonded to the outer walls of both sides of the sheet pile 1, and the rubber sheets 8 are flush with the corresponding sides of the sheet pile 1 to prevent wear on the outer walls of the sheet pile 1 on the corresponding sides.
[0023] Furthermore, multiple reinforcing ribs 9 are fixedly inserted side by side inside the sheet pile 1, which can increase the structural strength of the sheet pile 1, making it more durable, and the reinforcing ribs 9 are flush with the corresponding sides of the sheet pile 1.
[0024] Furthermore, an installation block 10 is installed on one outer wall of the sheet pile 1, and the top of the installation block 10 has an installation hole. The installation block 10 can be connected to the driving and pulling machine through the installation hole, and the driving and pulling machine can also directly clamp the sheet pile 1 for construction.
[0025] It is worth noting that multiple fixing holes are provided side by side on the corresponding sides of the mounting block 10 and the sheet pile 1, and fixing bolts 11 are screwed between the corresponding fixing holes to increase the stability of the connection between the mounting block 10 and the sheet pile 1.
[0026] It is worth noting that multiple diagonal bracing plates 12 are welded side by side between the bottom of the mounting block 10 and the corresponding side of the sheet pile 1, which can further increase the stability of the connection between the mounting block 10 and the sheet pile 1.
[0027] Working principle: Connect the water supply hose 7 to the external high-pressure water pump, start the driving and pulling machine to clamp the steel sheet pile 1, and drive the steel sheet pile 1 to move slowly downward along the caisson wall through the driving and pulling machine. At the same time, start the high-pressure water pump. The high-pressure water pump pumps water through the water jetting steel pipe 2 and sprays it out from the high-pressure water gun nozzle 5. The high-pressure water sprayed through the high-pressure water gun nozzle 5 forms a "water knife" to cut the mud and sand, and locally cuts the soil and sand layer around the cutting edge. This construction process can effectively correct the deviation of the caisson.
