[0018] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment discloses a drainage structure for soft soil foundation, including a plastic drainage board 2 installed in the soft soil foundation 1. The upper end of the plastic drainage board 2 is located in the sand cushion layer 3. The sand cushion layer 3 is covered with a sealing membrane 4. The four edges of the sealing membrane 4 extend into the sealing trench 5. An air filter pipe 6 is laid in the sand cushion layer 3. The air filter pipe 6 is connected to a vacuum pumping device 8 installed outside the sealing membrane 4 through a vacuum pumping pipe 7. An air distribution pipe 9 is also laid in the sand cushion layer 3. The air distribution pipe 9 is connected to a high-pressure air supply device 11 installed outside the sealing membrane 4 through an air guide pipe 10.

[0020] The plastic drainage board 2 includes a core body 201 and a filter sleeve 202 fitted over the core body 201. The plastic drainage board 2 is a porous pipe strip specifically designed for drainage in foundation reinforcement. Its interior is an extruded plastic core board, serving as a robust framework and channel for the drainage strip, with a cross-shaped cross section. To enhance filtration performance, its exterior is wrapped with non-woven geotextile to form a filter layer. The core body 201 not only provides support but also allows water seeping into the filter layer to drain upwards.

[0021] A mesh sleeve 12 is fitted on the outer side of the plastic drainage board 2. An air delivery pipe 13 is provided on the mesh sleeve 12. Several air jet holes 1301 are provided on the outer wall of the air delivery pipe 13. The air delivery pipe 13 is fixed to the mesh sleeve 12 by a connector 14.

[0022] In this embodiment, the connector 14 is a cable tie. A plug 15 is provided at the end of the air delivery pipe 13, and the plug 15 is located inside the air delivery pipe 13. A sealing tape 16 is provided at the end of the air delivery pipe 13. The sealing tape 16 binds the air delivery pipe 13 and thus fixes the plug 15 in the air delivery pipe 13.

[0023] In this embodiment, a water-stop curtain 17 is installed in the soft soil foundation 1, surrounding the soft soil foundation to be drained, and located inside the sealing trench 5. The water-stop curtain 17 can be a steel sheet pile.

[0024] In this embodiment, the high-pressure air supply device 11 includes an air compressor and an air storage tank; both the air compressor and the air delivery pipe 10 are connected to the air storage tank, and a control valve and a pressure gauge are installed on the air delivery pipe 10. The vacuum pumping device 8 includes a water storage tank and a vacuum pump; both the vacuum pump and the vacuum pumping pipe are connected to the water storage tank. Controlling the vacuum pump allows for vacuuming of the water storage tank, thereby drawing water from the sand cushion layer 3 into the water storage tank through negative pressure. The high-pressure air supply device 11 and the vacuum pumping device 8 are commonly used devices for vacuum preloading to treat soft soil foundation drainage; their detailed structures will not be described in detail.

[0025] The working principle of this invention is as follows: Based on the conventional vacuum pre-compression method, a pneumatic fracturing system is added. The installation method and equipment for the air-conducting plastic drainage board used for soft soil reinforcement are the same as those for ordinary plastic drainage boards. After the plastic drainage board 2 and the air delivery pipe 13 are installed, the air delivery pipe 13 is connected to the high-pressure air supply equipment 11.

[0026] In this invention, the plastic drainage board 2 and the air conveying pipe 13 are combined and installed in the same way as ordinary plastic drainage boards, without the need to change the drainage board installation machinery.

[0027] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present utility model by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
