Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of concrete modular building technology, and in particular to a waterproof bushing for installing steel sleeves in concrete modular buildings. Background Technology

[0002] Modular concrete building systems are a highly prefabricated and assembled construction method characterized by rapid construction, controllable quality, and energy efficiency. Modular concrete buildings utilize industrialized design and construction, manufacturing standardized prefabricated concrete spatial modules with functional features in a factory, and then assembling these modules on-site to form a concrete structural building, thereby improving construction quality and efficiency.

[0003] In concrete structures, water, electricity, HVAC, and fire protection pipelines need to pass through different concrete modules. Steel sleeves provide a protective channel for these pipelines, preventing damage to the pipelines or the concrete structure. In existing modular concrete buildings, the predetermined positions of the steel sleeves are first determined during the formwork fabrication stage. The mold is then installed at these predetermined positions, and the mold at the steel sleeve location is removed simultaneously when the concrete module formwork is dismantled. Installation holes for the steel sleeves are pre-drilled in the concrete module formwork. After the concrete modules are assembled on-site, the steel sleeves are inserted into the corresponding pre-drilled holes, and the space between the steel sleeve and the installation hole is sealed with waterproofing. However, the current steel sleeve installation process for modular concrete is cumbersome and inefficient. The gap between the steel sleeve and the installation hole is small, and waterproofing is typically done using expanding mortar or epoxy resin, which is prone to leakage and unsightly.

[0004] Therefore, it is desirable to have a waterproof bushing for installing steel sleeves in modular concrete buildings that can solve the defects and problems existing in the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0030] The waterproof bushing for installing steel sleeves in modular concrete buildings proposed in this embodiment uses a sealing ring in conjunction with an outer bushing and an inner bushing, enabling the steel sleeve to be plugged into the concrete module immediately, eliminating the need for waterproof sealing between the steel sleeve and the pre-reserved installation opening in the concrete module.

[0031] To better understand the above technical solutions, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present invention can be understood more clearly and thoroughly, and that the scope of the present invention can be fully conveyed to those skilled in the art.

The outer bushing 1 is generally circular. The inner bushing 3 is fixedly installed inside the outer bushing 1. The dimensional tolerance between the outer surface of the inner bushing 3 and the inner surface of the outer bushing 1 is no greater than -0.2mm. The outer bushing 1 and the inner bushing 3 are bonded and fixed together with special ABS glue, forming an annular groove between the outer bushing 1 and the inner bushing 3. The sealing ring 2 is installed in the annular groove. The inner diameter of the sealing ring 2 is smaller than the inner diameter of both the outer bushing 1 and the inner diameter of the inner bushing 3.

[0034] Example 2:

[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the overall width of the outer bushing 1 is 30mm. The wall thickness of the outer bushing 1 is asymmetrically distributed, with one side being a thick wall of 7mm and the other side being a thin wall of 3mm. The side of the inner bushing 3 is aligned with the thin wall of the other side of the outer bushing 1. The overall width of the inner bushing 3 is 14mm. A 6mm wide annular groove is formed between the outer bushing 1 and the inner bushing 3.

[0036] The sealing ring 2 includes a bushing sealing ring 21 and a pipe wall sealing ring 22, which are integrally formed. The pipe wall sealing ring 22 is disposed on the side of the bushing sealing ring 21. The outer shape of the bushing sealing ring 21 matches the inner shape of the annular groove, and the bushing sealing ring 21 is engaged in the annular groove. The pipe wall sealing ring 22 is disposed inside the thick-walled side of the outer bushing 1. The outer diameter of the bushing sealing ring 21 is larger than the outer diameter of the pipe wall sealing ring 22, and the outer diameter of the bushing sealing ring 21 is equal to the inner diameter of the pipe wall sealing ring 22. The outer side wall of the pipe wall sealing ring 22 away from the bushing sealing ring 21 has a rounded corner with a radius of 0.3 mm.
