Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tunnel construction technology, and in particular to a grouting and filling device for karst areas in tunnels. Background Technology
[0002] During tunnel construction, especially when traversing karst areas, grouting is a crucial means to ensure construction safety and structural stability. Karst areas typically contain caves, fissures, and loose filling materials. These geological conditions can lead to problems such as insufficient foundation bearing capacity, localized collapse, and uneven settlement during tunnel construction. While traditional grouting techniques can improve the mechanical properties of the strata to some extent, their application in karst areas still has some limitations, such as complex grouting processes, low construction efficiency, and difficulty in guaranteeing grouting effectiveness.
[0003] Furthermore, existing technologies for grouting devices have shortcomings in design. For example, problems such as grout leakage and grout pipe blockage can easily occur during the grouting process, leading to poor grouting results and increased construction costs. Therefore, developing an efficient and reliable grouting and filling device for karst areas in tunnels is of great significance for improving construction efficiency, ensuring construction safety, and reducing construction costs.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances. Example 1
[0041] Combined with appendix Figures 1-4 A grouting and filling device for karst areas in tunnels includes a grouting pipe 1, a grouting sealing assembly 3, a tee connector 4, and a pressure relief bag 5. The grouting pipe 1 has multiple grouting holes 2 evenly distributed throughout its body to ensure uniform diffusion of grout within the grouting borehole. The grouting pipe 1 can be inserted into the grouting borehole, and grout is injected into the borehole through the grouting holes 2, thereby achieving effective filling of the karst area.
[0042] To ensure the sealing and safety of the grouting process, a grouting sealing assembly 3 is installed at one end of the grouting pipe 1. The main function of the grouting sealing assembly 3 is to seal the gap between the grouting pipe 1 and the grouting borehole opening, preventing grout from leaking out of the gap. Simultaneously, after grouting is completed, the grouting sealing assembly 3 can automatically seal the grouting pipe 1, preventing grout from leaking out of the grouting pipe 1 and ensuring a clean and safe construction environment.
[0043] Combined with appendix Figures 2-4The specific structural design of the grouting sealing assembly 3 is as follows: It includes a first conical sleeve 3-1, the small end of which is connected to the grouting pipe 1. The conical surface of the first conical sleeve 3-1 can tightly fit the opening of the grouting borehole, thereby effectively sealing the gap between the grouting pipe 1 and the opening of the grouting borehole. To further enhance the sealing effect, a conical sealing gasket (not shown in the figure) is also fitted on the outside of the first conical sleeve 3-1. This design not only improves the sealing performance but also effectively prevents grout from seeping out of the gap during the grouting process.
[0044] The large end of the first conical sleeve 3-1 is equipped with an annular mounting plate 3-2, and the surface of the annular mounting plate 3-2 has multiple mounting holes spaced circumferentially. In actual construction, by installing expansion bolts in these mounting holes, the first conical sleeve 3-1 can be firmly fixed at the opening of the grouting borehole. This fixing method not only ensures the stability of the grouting sealing assembly 3, but also effectively prevents the grouting pipe 1 from accidentally coming off during the grouting and pressurization process, thus ensuring the smooth progress of the grouting operation.
[0045] In addition, the grouting and sealing assembly 3 also includes a second conical sleeve 3-3, the large end of which is connected to the large end of the first conical sleeve 3-1. A conical sealing disc 3-4 is provided in the cavity between the first conical sleeve 3-1 and the second conical sleeve 3-3. The small end of the conical sealing disc 3-4 faces the second conical sleeve 3-3, and its main function is to seal the orifice of the second conical sleeve 3-3 after grouting. This design effectively prevents grout from flowing back from the grouting pipe 1 after grouting, thereby ensuring the grouting effect.
[0046] The conical sealing disc 3-4 is provided with multiple guide rods 3-5 spaced at intervals along its circumference, with no fewer than three guide rods 3-5. One end of each guide rod 3-5 extends into the small end orifice of the first conical sleeve 3-1 and slides in contact with the wall of the small end orifice of the first conical sleeve 3-1. The main function of the guide rods 3-5 is to guide the conical sealing disc 3-4, ensuring that it can only move axially in the grouting sealing assembly 3, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the sealing action.
[0047] Multiple limiting brackets 3-6 are spaced circumferentially at the large end of the conical sealing disc 3-4. These limiting brackets 3-6 maintain a certain distance between the conical sealing disc 3-4 and the inner wall of the first conical sleeve 3-1. This design effectively prevents the conical sealing disc 3-4 from fitting against the inner wall of the first conical sleeve 3-1 during grouting operations, thus preventing the first conical sleeve 3-1 from becoming blocked and ensuring that the grouting pipe 1 can perform grouting operations normally.
[0048] Furthermore, the end of the limiting bracket 3-6 opposite to the conical sealing disc 3-4 is provided with a ring 3-8. The ring 3-8 can effectively enhance the structural strength of the limiting bracket 3-6 and prevent the limiting bracket 3-6 from bending accidentally due to excessive grouting pressure.
[0049] It is worth noting that the diameter of the conical sealing disc 3-4 is larger than the orifice diameter of the second conical sleeve 3-3, but much smaller than the diameter of the large end of the first conical sleeve 3-1 and the second conical sleeve 3-3. This size design can meet the needs of high-flow grouting operations and improve grouting efficiency. At the same time, the axial length of the grouting sealing assembly 3 is relatively short, avoiding interference with subsequent construction after the grouting operation is completed, and improving the flexibility and convenience of construction.
[0050] The grouting and sealing assembly 3 is detachably connected to the tee connector 4. The first port of the tee connector 4 is connected to the second conical sleeve 3-3, and the third port is connected to the grouting pump via a pipe. The grouting pump is a mature existing product, and its structure and working principle will not be described in detail here. A pressure relief bag 5 is detachably connected to the second port of the tee connector 4, and a switch valve 6 is installed between the pressure relief bag 5 and the tee connector 4. During the grouting operation, the switch valve 6 is in the closed state to ensure stable grouting pressure. After grouting is completed, the grouting pump is first turned off, and then the switch valve 6 is opened to release the grout in the grouting pump pipe and the tee connector 4 into the pressure relief bag 5. This process not only effectively reduces the pressure in the pipe, but also avoids grout leakage and environmental pollution. After depressurization, the tee connector 4 can be easily removed for use in the next grouting borehole.
[0051] Furthermore, a pressure gauge 7 is installed between the switching valve 6 and the second interface of the tee connector 4. The pressure gauge 7 allows for monitoring of the grouting pressure. Simultaneously, after grouting is completed, the pressure value on the pressure gauge 7 can be used to determine whether the grouting sealing assembly 3 automatically seals the grouting pipe 1. Example 2
[0052] Combined with appendix Figures 1-4 A grouting and filling device for karst areas in tunnels is disclosed. The difference between this device and Embodiment 1 lies in the improved structural design of the grouting sealing assembly 3. Specifically, a spring 3-7 is added to the grouting sealing assembly 3. The spring 3-7 is sleeved on the outside of multiple guide rods 3-5. Its main function is to push the conical sealing disc 3-4 with its own elastic restoring force after grouting, automatically sealing the orifice of the second conical sleeve 3-3. This improvement not only further enhances the reliability of the sealing but also reduces manual intervention and improves construction efficiency.
[0053] During grouting, grout is injected into the karst area through grouting pipe 1 and grouting hole 2. At this time, the conical sealing disc 3-4 remains open under the pressure of the grout, ensuring that the grout can smoothly pass through the second conical sleeve 3-3 into the grouting borehole. When the grouting operation is completed and the grout pressure gradually decreases, the elastic force of spring 3-7 begins to exert its effect, pushing the conical sealing disc 3-4 towards the opening of the second conical sleeve 3-3, ultimately achieving automatic sealing. This automatic sealing mechanism effectively prevents grout backflow after grouting, avoiding construction safety hazards and resource waste caused by grout leakage. Example 3
[0054] Combined with appendix Figure 1 and 5 A grouting and filling device for karst areas in tunnels is disclosed, further optimizing the grouting pipe 1 in Embodiment 1 or 2, focusing on improving the insertion efficiency of the grouting pipe 1 and the stability of the grouting process. Compared with Embodiment 1 or 2, the structural design of the grouting pipe 1 has been improved. Specifically, a tapered guide head 8 is movably inserted at the end of the grouting pipe 1 facing away from the grouting sealing assembly 3. The tapered guide head 8 is designed to provide guidance for the insertion of the grouting pipe 1 into the grouting borehole, ensuring that the grouting pipe 1 can smoothly and accurately enter the grouting borehole. This improvement significantly increases the insertion efficiency of the grouting pipe 1 and reduces construction delays caused by insertion difficulties.
[0055] During the grouting operation, the conical guide head 8 can detach from the grouting pipe 1 under the pushing action of the grout inside the grouting pipe 1. This design utilizes the pressure of the grout to allow the conical guide head 8 to automatically detach after completing its guiding task, thereby accelerating the grouting process and improving grouting efficiency.
[0056] Furthermore, to ensure the stability of the conical guide head 8 during the insertion of the grouting pipe 1 into the grouting borehole, an elastic ring 9 is added between the conical guide head 8 and the inner wall of the grouting pipe 1. The main function of the elastic ring 9 is to increase the damping force between the conical guide head 8 and the inner wall of the grouting pipe 1, preventing the conical guide head 8 from accidentally falling off due to external forces during the insertion of the grouting pipe 1. This design, while ensuring the stability of the guide head, also addresses the need for automatic detachment during the grouting process, further optimizing the overall usability.
[0057] The parts of this utility model not described in detail are prior art. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that this utility model can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and are intended to include all changes that fall within the meaning and scope of equivalents within this utility model.
