Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of foundation pit support pile anchor cable construction technology, specifically to a support pile water-stopping anchor cable. Background Technology
[0002] During the construction of anchored piles for foundation pit support, holes need to be drilled in the support piles and anchor cables installed. The anchor cables, through prestressing, effectively prevent the support piles from overturning and slipping, ensuring overall stability. The support piles can also share the load through the anchor cables, increasing their bearing capacity. The stress performance of the support piles is improved, stress concentration is reduced, and they can meet greater load requirements.
[0003] To prevent groundwater outside the retaining piles from seeping into the foundation pit through the anchor cable installation holes, necessary water-stopping measures need to be taken at the anchor cable installation holes, such as injecting asphalt adhesive into the holes to prevent seepage. The principle behind this water-stopping measure is that the asphalt adhesive provides waterproofing through the bond between itself and the hole wall, and between itself and the anchor cable. When the asphalt adhesive detaches from the hole wall or the anchor cable, the above-mentioned water-stopping measures will fail, causing seepage. Furthermore, if the outer end of the anchor cable installation hole is not sealed, the injected asphalt adhesive can easily flow outwards, forming cavities in the hole, thus leading to seepage.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose new measures to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a water-stopping anchor cable for support piles to solve the problems of easy failure and easy formation of cavities in the existing anchor cable installation hole water-stopping measures.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A water-stopping anchor cable for a support pile, the water-stopping anchor cable for the support pile includes a cable sleeve, a pressure plate, a tie rod, an annular airbag and an anchor cable;
[0008] The cable loop is fitted around the outer periphery of the anchor cable, and the annular airbag is fitted around the outer periphery of the anchor cable and located at one end of the cable loop;
[0009] The pressure plate is connected to one end of the tie rod, and the pressure plate is provided with a pressure plate hole and is wrapped around the outer periphery of the anchor cable;
[0010] The sleeve has a first mounting hole on its cylindrical wall that is aligned with the direction of the anchor cable. The annular airbag has a second mounting hole that corresponds to the first mounting hole and is aligned with the direction of the anchor cable. The pull rod passes through the pressure plate hole, the second mounting hole, and the first mounting hole in sequence.
[0011] Furthermore, the end of the pull rod is provided with an external thread, and the end of the pull rod passes through the cable sleeve and is fixed by a nut.
[0012] Furthermore, both the inner and outer walls of the cable sleeve are wavy.
[0013] Furthermore, after the water-stopping anchor cable of the support pile is inserted into the hole of the support pile, the hole is filled with grout.
[0014] Furthermore, the injection adhesive is filled between the anchor cable and the cable sleeve, and between the cable sleeve and the channel.
[0015] Furthermore, the end of the anchor cable is anchored to the beam support at the top of the beam inside the pit by a clamp anchor.
[0016] Furthermore, two pull rods are connected to the pressure plate, arranged symmetrically;

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0022] This utility model provides a water-stopping anchor cable for support piles. An annular airbag is designed in the main structure.

[0036] During the construction of the retaining pile anchor, holes 9 will inevitably be drilled in the retaining pile 1 to form a channel. After the anchor cable 8 is inserted, the channel is not sealed, and necessary water-stopping measures need to be taken. Based on this, the present invention provides a water-stopping anchor cable for retaining piles, which provides long-term and stable water-stopping protection for the channel 9.
[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 1-4 The water-stopping anchor cable of the support pile of this utility model includes a cable sleeve 3, a pressure plate 4, a tie rod 5, an annular airbag 6, and an anchor cable 8.
[0038] The cable sleeve 3 is cylindrical with wavy inner and outer walls. The cable sleeve 3 gradually widens along its length, being smaller at one end and larger at the other, forming an overall trumpet shape. It loops around the anchor cable 8, with a gap between them. Furthermore, the diameter of the cable sleeve 3 is smaller than the diameter of the borehole 9 on the support pile 1, and a gap also exists between it and the borehole 9.
[0039] The annular airbag 6 is also wrapped around the outer periphery of the anchor cable 8 and located at the front end of the cable sleeve 3. The annular airbag 6 is made of nylon, and because it is a flexible material, it can be deformed by compression. The outer surface of the annular airbag 6 is coated with a rubber coating to improve airtightness.
[0040] The pressure plate 4 is a circular plate connected to the front end of the tie rod 5. The pressure plate 4 has a pressure plate hole and is fitted around the outer circumference of the anchor cable 8. The sleeve 3 has a first mounting hole 10 aligned with the direction of the anchor cable 8 on its cylindrical wall. The annular airbag 6 has a second mounting hole 11 corresponding to the first mounting hole 10 and aligned with the direction of the anchor cable 8. The tie rod 5 passes through the pressure plate hole, the second mounting hole 11, and the first mounting hole 10 sequentially from front to back, and its end is fixed by a nut 7. At this time, the pressure plate 4 is attached to the front of the annular airbag 6. Specifically, the end of the tie rod 5 has an external thread, and the rear end of the tie rod 5 protrudes from the sleeve 3 and is fixed by the nut 7. The tie rod 5 pulls the pressure plate 4, which can evenly compress the annular airbag 6, continuously sealing the channel 9.
[0041] The outer diameter of the pressure plate 4 is approximately equal to the diameter of the channel 9, and the inner diameter of the pressure plate 4 is approximately equal to the outer diameter of the anchor cable 8. Specifically, the ratio of the outer diameter of the pressure plate 4 to the diameter of the channel 9 is 95%, ensuring that the pressure plate 4 can pass through the channel 9 while maintaining a large contact area between the pressure plate 4 and the annular airbag 6. The ratio of the outer diameter of the anchor cable 8 to the inner diameter of the pressure plate 4 is also 95%, ensuring that the anchor cable 8 can pass through the pressure plate 4 while minimizing the gap between the pressure plate 4 and the anchor cable 8, thus providing a certain degree of waterproofing and leak-stopping effect.
[0042] After the anchor cable for the retaining pile 1 is inserted into the duct 9 of the retaining pile 1, the duct 9 needs to be filled with grout. The grout fills the space between the anchor cable 8 and the sleeve 3, as well as between the sleeve 3 and the duct 9. Because both the inner and outer walls of the sleeve 3 are wavy, the contact area between the sleeve 3 and the grout is increased, making it less likely for the grout to detach from the sleeve 3. This ensures waterproofing while providing stability and pull-out resistance. Furthermore, the diameter of the sleeve 3 gradually increases from the end closer to the annular air bladder 6 to the end farther away from the annular air bladder 6, forming a trumpet shape from front to back, which also enhances the pull-out resistance of the anchor cable for the retaining pile. Making one end of the sleeve 3 larger improves waterproofing, while making the other end smaller facilitates grout injection.
[0043] In some embodiments, two pull rods 5 can be connected to the pressure plate 4, arranged symmetrically. Correspondingly, there are two first mounting holes 10, two second mounting holes 11, and two nuts 7, which can make the pull rods 5 pull the pressure plate 4 evenly, and the pressure plate 4 evenly compresses the annular airbag 6.
[0044] In some embodiments, the outer diameter of the rear end of the cable sleeve 3 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the channel 9, for example, the ratio of the outer diameter of the rear end of the cable sleeve 3 to the diameter of the channel 9 can be 95%. The gap between the rear end of the cable sleeve 3 and the channel 9 is relatively small, allowing the cable sleeve 3 itself to be well waterproof. The ratio of the outer diameter of the front end of the cable sleeve 3 to the diameter of the channel 9 can be 80%. The gaps between the front end of the cable sleeve 3 and the channel 9, as well as between the front end of the cable sleeve 3 and the anchor cable 8, are relatively large, facilitating the injection of potting compound between the channel 9 and the cable sleeve 3, and between the anchor cable 8 and the cable sleeve 3.
[0045] During construction, the end of the anchor cable 8 is anchored to the beam support 2 at the top of the crossbeam 12 in the foundation pit through the clamp anchor 13, which can provide prestress. In addition, the end of the duct 9 of the support pile 1 is constructed with a recessed annular groove structure. The back of the annular airbag 6 is located in the annular groove, and its outer circumference fits against the arc surface of the annular groove, squeezing the gap and increasing the contact area between the annular airbag 6 and the duct 9, which can improve the water-blocking effect of the annular airbag 6.
[0046] The specific construction process of this utility model is as follows:
[0047] S1: First, drill holes in the support pile 1 to form a channel 9, and then construct a recessed annular groove structure on the front of the channel 9.
[0048] S2: Anchor cable 8 passes through hole 9, and pressure plate 4, annular airbag 6 and cable sleeve 3 are put on anchor cable 8. Pull rod 5 passes through pressure plate hole, second mounting hole 11 and first mounting hole 10 from front to back.
[0049] Initially, the annular airbag 6 is not compressed by the pressure plate 4 and can deform freely, pushing the pressure plate 4 and the annular airbag 6 out of the channel 9, while the cable loop 3 is located in the channel 9.
[0050] Then, screw nut 7 onto the rear end of lever 5, but do not tighten nut 7 at this time.
[0051] S3: Tension the anchor cable 8 to form prestress, and use the wedge anchor 13 to fix the rear end of the anchor cable 8 to the beam support 2 at the top of the cross beam 12 in the foundation pit.
[0052] S4: Continuously tighten nut 7, pull rod 5 pulls pressure plate 4, pressure plate 4 squeezes annular airbag 6, after annular airbag 6 is flattened, the outer periphery of annular airbag 6 abuts against the annular groove structure on the front of the channel 9, and the inner periphery of annular airbag 6 abuts against anchor cable 8. Annular airbag 6 seals the front of channel 9, which can prevent groundwater outside the support pile 1 from entering the foundation pit.
[0053] S5: Inject grout into the channel 9 through the rear end of the channel 9. The grout can be waterproof glue or asphalt glue. The grout fills the space between the cable sleeve 3 and the channel 9, and between the cable sleeve 3 and the anchor cable 8. At this time, the annular airbag 6 can prevent the grout from flowing out from the front end of the channel 9, ensuring the volume of grout in the channel 9 and ensuring waterproofness.
[0054] The tie rod 5 is parallel to the anchor cable 8 and perpendicular to the pressure plate 4. The pressure plate 4 is parallel to the front end face of the cable sleeve 3. When installing this utility model, it is preferable to rotate the two nuts 7 at the same time or rotate the two nuts 7 alternately so that the two tie rods 5 pull the upper and lower sides of the pressure plate 4 evenly. When the pressure plate 4 squeezes the annular airbag 6, the pressure plate 4 is basically parallel to the front end face of the anchor cable 8, and the annular airbag 6 is squeezed evenly.
[0055] This invention adds an annular airbag 6 to the front section of the channel 9, thereby increasing the waterproofing layer and effectively improving the waterproofing of the pile anchor construction. It is stable, reliable, and not prone to failure, solving the problem of easy water seepage in existing water-stopping measures.
[0056] The above-described specific examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains can make various simple deductions, modifications, or substitutions based on the concept of this invention.
