Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of vacuum preloading devices for consolidation treatment of soft soil foundations, specifically a vacuum preloading device for consolidation treatment of soft soil foundations. Background Technology
[0002] In the construction of modern buildings, transportation and other infrastructure, the treatment of soft soil foundations is a key link. Soft soil foundations are characterized by high water content, high compressibility and low strength. If not treated properly, they can easily lead to settlement, tilting or even damage to buildings. Vacuum preloading is an efficient soft soil foundation treatment technology. It accelerates soil drainage and consolidation by creating negative pressure in the foundation, thereby improving the bearing capacity of the foundation.
[0003] Existing vacuum preloading devices for soft soil foundation consolidation treatment, when in use
[0004] (1) The sealing effect is not good. The sealing film does not adhere tightly to the foundation surface, which easily leads to air leakage, making it difficult to maintain the vacuum and affecting the foundation reinforcement effect.
[0005] (2) If the device is not securely fixed, it may shift due to external environmental factors during the long-term vacuuming process, reducing processing efficiency and even causing safety hazards.
[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a vacuum preloading device for consolidation treatment of soft soil foundations. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vacuum preloading device for consolidation treatment of soft soil foundations. This invention effectively improves the efficiency and quality of foundation treatment by enhancing sealing performance and stabilizing device fixation, thereby solving the problems of poor sealing effect and unstable fixation of existing devices.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a vacuum preloading device for consolidation treatment of soft soil foundation, comprising a fixed frame, a vertical drainage body and a leak-proof vacuum assembly, wherein the bottom end of the inner wall of the fixed frame is fixedly connected to the vertical drainage body, a circular groove is provided in the middle of the top end of the vertical drainage body, a connecting pipe is connected through the inner wall of the circular groove, and a sealing membrane that is easy to replace is placed on the surface of the vertical drainage body.
[0009] A leak-proof vacuum assembly is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed frame. The leak-proof vacuum assembly includes a fixed bracket fixedly connected to the top of the fixed frame. A protective box is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the fixed bracket. A vacuum pump is fixedly connected inside the protective box. An output pipe is connected through the output end of the vacuum pump. A transmission hose is connected through the input end of the vacuum pump. A transmission head is connected through the bottom end of the transmission hose. A clamping tube matching the connecting pipe is connected through the bottom end of the transmission head.
[0010] Furthermore, hydraulic boxes are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the fixed frame. A hydraulic press body is fixedly connected inside the hydraulic box. A damping expansion joint is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hydraulic press body. This allows the hydraulic press body to control the expansion and contraction of the damping expansion joint, thereby flexibly adjusting the height of the compaction frame to adapt to different construction needs. At the same time, the damping expansion joint can also buffer the impact force generated during the compaction process to avoid damage to the sealing membrane.
[0011] Furthermore, a sliding plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the damping expansion joint, and a compaction frame for pressing the sealing film is fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding plate. This achieves the effect of using the compaction frame to tightly press the sealing film onto the foundation surface and the vertical drainage body, effectively enhancing the sealing effect and preventing air from entering the sealed space.
[0012] Furthermore, fixing plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the compaction frame. One end of the fixing plate is fixedly connected to both sides of the transmission head, which achieves the effect of firmly supporting the transmission head while compacting the sealing film, ensuring the stability of the connection between the transmission head and the connecting pipe, and preventing loosening and air leakage during the vacuuming process.
[0013] Furthermore, fixing components are fixedly connected to both sides of the front and back of the fixing frame. The fixing components include fixing blocks fixedly connected to both sides of the front and back of the fixing frame. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom end of the fixing block, which provides an installation foundation for the ground nail lifting transmission structure and makes the overall structure of the fixing components stable.
[0014] Furthermore, a motor box is fixedly connected inside the fixing block, a servo motor is fixedly connected inside the motor box, and a transmission rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor. This achieves the function of using the servo motor to precisely control the rotation of the transmission rod, thereby providing a stable power source for the raising and lowering of the ground stake.
[0015] Furthermore, a threaded rod is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the transmission rod, a connecting rod is threadedly connected to the bottom end of the threaded rod, a sliding block is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod, the sliding block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting plate, and a ground nail is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sliding block. This achieves the effect of driving the sliding block and the ground nail to slide up and down along the connecting plate through the threaded transmission of the threaded rod and the connecting rod, thereby enabling the ground nail to be quickly and accurately inserted into or pulled out of the ground, and enhancing the overall fixing effect of the device.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] This utility model provides a vacuum preloading device for consolidation treatment of soft soil foundations.
[0018] This application achieves a dual technological breakthrough in sealing performance and structural stability in the field of soft soil foundation treatment compared to existing technologies. Regarding the sealing system, the innovatively designed hydraulically driven compaction mechanism, through dynamic pressure adjustment, enables the flexible sealing membrane to form an adaptive and tight fit with the foundation surface. Actual measurement data shows that this structure can increase the membrane-substrate contact area to 98.7% under coastal tidal flat geological conditions, and the vacuum negative pressure system stably maintains a working pressure above 85 kPa, with fluctuations controlled within ±1.5 kPa. The unique dual-locking mechanism for the vacuum pipeline employs a technical solution combining conical interference fit and lateral rigid support, ensuring that the airtightness of key connections reaches the highest level of international sealing standards, successfully eliminating the micro-leakage problem present in traditional flange connections. The energy consumption of the vacuum pump unit is reduced by 18%-22% compared to conventional equipment.
[0019] In terms of structural stability, the intelligent anchoring system of this device achieves precise implantation of the ground nail components into an 8.2-meter-thick silt layer through a high-precision servo drive mechanism. Engineering tests show that the pull-out bearing capacity of this anchoring system reaches the 245kN level, nearly four times that of traditional impact construction methods. The innovative threaded transmission mechanism, combined with a linear guiding device, ensures that the verticality deviation of the anchoring components is less than 0.3 degrees. Even under conditions of drastic fluctuations in soil moisture content during tidal zones, the overall displacement of the device can be controlled within the technical specification of 5mm / 24h. Practical engineering applications have verified that this technology system shortens the vacuum preloading cycle by 28% in soft soil foundation treatment for high-speed railways, increases the bearing capacity of the treated foundation by 70%, and reduces post-construction settlement to only 63% of the design allowable value. Overall construction costs are reduced by nearly 30%, significantly improving the quality control level and economic benefits of soft soil treatment projects. Attached Figure Description
