Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of underground pipeline construction technology, and in particular to a device for sealing the opening of a steel casing pipe jacking hole. Background Technology
[0002] Pipe jacking is a trenchless pipeline laying technique. It involves installing jacking equipment inside a working shaft and using a hydraulic jacking system to push pipe sections into the soil one by one, achieving precise underground pipeline installation. This technology offers advantages such as minimal impact on surface traffic, high construction efficiency, and controllable costs, making it particularly suitable for urban underground pipeline network construction. To ensure construction safety, the working shaft must employ support structures (such as sheet piles) to stabilize the surrounding soil and prevent groundwater from entering. Furthermore, the soil at the shaft entrance must be reinforced and sealed before jacking to prevent mud and water from flowing into the shaft, which could lead to surface subsidence or equipment damage.
[0003] Sheet pile support is a common method for supporting working shafts in pipe jacking projects. By driving sheet piles into the perimeter of the foundation pit to form a continuous cylindrical structure, it provides soil support and also serves as a seepage barrier. In areas with high groundwater levels, dewatering wells are also needed to lower the groundwater level and prevent water and sand inrush during tunneling. This support system effectively controls soil deformation, ensures the smooth advancement of the pipe jacking equipment, and minimizes the impact on surrounding buildings and pipelines, making it a key technical aspect for the safe implementation of pipe jacking construction.

[0005] In the prior art of the aforementioned patent, the opening at the bottom of the working well on the side wall requires the installation of sheet piles. However, the size of the opening is generally larger than the sheet piles. In this case, it is necessary to fill the gap between the sheet piles and the opening wall. Moreover, the opening is not planar, and the area to be sealed is a curved surface. However, most of the sealing structures in the aforementioned devices and the prior art use planar sealing plates to seal the area, and then use annular sealing elements to seal the gap between the opening and the sheet piles. However, a large gap is generated between the planar sealing elements and the curved side wall, resulting in poor sealing effect. Utility Model Content

[0025] Reference Figure 1-6 A sealing device for a steel casing jacking pipe opening 2 includes an arc-shaped plate 4, which is tightly fitted around the opening 2 in the working well 1. A compensating pipe 7 is fixedly welded to the opening of the arc-shaped plate 4. The inner diameter of the compensating pipe 7 is consistent with the size of the opening 2. One end of the compensating pipe 7 near the opening 2 is set as a mating surface 8, which is fitted with the inner wall of the working well 1. A sealing component is set at the other end of the compensating pipe 7, and a connecting component is set between the sealing component and the compensating pipe 7. The arc-shaped plate 4 includes a through hole. It can be made of sheet metal by stamping and die casting according to the curvature of the inner wall of the working well 1 and the size of the opening 2 to be sealed. By installing the arc-shaped plate 4 and the compensating pipe 7, the sealing area can be closed. One end of the compensating pipe 7 is fitted with the well wall of the working well 1, and the other end is flat. By installing the sealing component on the compensating pipe 7, the operation is easier and the sealing effect is better than that of traditional sealing mechanisms.
[0026] As a preferred technical solution of this embodiment, a sealing element 5 is fixedly installed on the edge of the arc plate 4, and a sealing groove 3 is opened on the inner wall of the working well 1. The sealing groove 3 and the sealing element 5 are sealed and connected. A fixing anchor rod 6 is fixedly installed on the arc plate 4, and the arc plate 4 and the working well 1 are fixedly locked together by the fixing anchor rod 6. The opening of the sealing groove 3 and the sealing element 5 can increase the sealing performance between the arc plate 4 and the opening 2.
[0027] As a preferred technical solution of this embodiment, the sealing component includes a sealing tube 10, which is in close contact with the inner wall of the compensation tube 7.

The thickness of the sealing tube 10 can be set according to the required sealing thickness, so that it can fit tightly with the opening wall and the filling pile. The groove 14 can realize the interlocking between the sealing tube 10 and the compensation tube 7, so that the connection between the sealing tube 10 and the compensation tube 7 is tighter.
[0028] As a preferred embodiment, the connecting assembly includes a flange 9 fixedly welded to the side wall of the compensating pipe 7. The extension 11 has a plurality of flange holes 15, which correspond to the flange holes 15 on the flange 9. A screw 12 is connected between the flange holes 15 on the extension 11 and the flange holes 15 on the flange 9. Nuts 13 are threaded and locked at both ends of the screw 12. The compensating pipe 7 and the sealing pipe 10 are connected by a flange, which can increase the sealing performance and the stability of the fixing between the sealing pipe 10 and the compensating pipe 7.
[0029] As a preferred technical solution in this embodiment, a sealing layer 16 is provided at the connection between the compensating pipe 7 and the inner wall of the working well 1. The compensating pipe 7 is mainly welded to the arc plate 4, and the mating surface 8 of the compensating pipe 7 is in close contact with the inner wall of the working well 1. The mating surface 8 and the working well 1 are connected by the sealing layer 16, which can increase the stability of the compensating pipe 7 and the working well 1 and increase the sealing between the compensating pipe 7 and the working well 1. The sealing layer 16 is a prior art technology and can be an epoxy resin adhesive, which is mainly used for the connection between various large-scale pipeline projects.
[0030] As a preferred technical solution in this embodiment, a sealing gasket 17 is provided inside the groove 14. The sealing gasket 17 is annular and abuts against the compensation pipe 7. The sealing gasket 17 can increase the sealing performance at the connection between the compensation pipe 7 and the sealing pipe 10. Combined with the flange connection assembly, the sealing performance and connection stability of the sealing pipe 10 can be further improved.
