Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grouting technology, specifically to a vacuum-assisted grouting device. Background Technology
[0002] Pipe grouting is an important measure to inject cement grout into pipes using a grouting machine to prevent steel strand corrosion, extend the service life of components, and ensure that the steel strands are firmly bonded to the concrete to transfer stress. Grouting must be dense and full.
[0003] Traditional grouting equipment typically involves mixing raw materials and water together using a mixing device, and then using a grouting pump to force the grout into the gaps or pipes. However, after mixing, the grout often contains a large number of air bubbles, which can ultimately reduce the quality of the components. Therefore, vacuum treatment is often performed on the grout.
[0004] Existing vacuum-assisted grouting devices vacuum the grout to reduce the impact of air bubbles. However, when vacuuming high-viscosity cement grout, air bubbles located in the lower part of the grout do not easily rise. Eliminating air bubbles requires the vacuum pump to work continuously for a long time. The grout will evaporate water when it is in a vacuum environment for a long time, which will reduce the quality of the grout. Some air bubbles will also stick to the side wall of the tank. Air bubbles stuck to the side wall are difficult to rise due to surface tension and adhesion.
[0005] During the slurry mixing process, the following procedures must be followed:
[0006] 1. Before mixing the slurry, add an appropriate amount of water and run the mixer empty for a few minutes to thoroughly wet the inner wall of the bucket;
[0007] 2. Add the weighed water to the mixing bucket and then add cement while stirring. Stir for 3-5 minutes until homogeneous.
[0008] 3. Pour the additive into the mixing tank, stir again for 5-15 minutes, check the consistency, and then put it into the storage tank through a sieve.
[0009] 4. The mixing of the slurry placed into the storage tank should not be stopped, regardless of whether it is pumped immediately.
[0010] Therefore, the storage process after the slurry is mixed still requires continuous stirring. Transferring the mixed slurry not only increases the workflow but also the equipment used. Utility Model Content

[0015] Furthermore, a filtration mechanism is provided between the discharge pipe and the mud pump.
