Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fly ash grouting technology, and in particular to a pipe anti-clogging device for fly ash grouting. Background Technology
[0002] To address the fly ash waste from power plants, the fly ash generated by power plants is collected, transported, and treated through a system. Ultimately, it can be pumped into the overlying strata or delamination fissures of coal mine goafs via dedicated grouting pipelines. This allows for the use of fly ash to control goaf disasters and effectively reduce remediation costs.
[0003] In fly ash grouting processes, pipe blockage is a frequent problem. The blockage is essentially the result of the coupling effect of multiple factors, including the physical properties of fly ash (fine particle deposition and hydration cementitious properties) and transportation conditions (flow velocity fluctuations and sudden changes in pipe diameter). Engineering statistics show that both adhering and depositional blockages are concentrated in pipe bends, low-speed sections of straight pipes, and pipe valves. Current methods for handling blockages mainly involve flushing with high-pressure water, which takes 30–90 minutes. This is time-consuming and inefficient, primarily due to the lack of anti-blockage structures at critical points, severely limiting operational efficiency.
[0004] To address this issue, we propose a pipe anti-clogging device for fly ash grouting to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0027] Reference Figures 1-5 A pipe anti-clogging device for fly ash grouting includes a connecting pipe body 1, a branch pipe 2 fixed to the side of the connecting pipe body 1, a drive telescopic rod 3 at one end of the branch pipe 2, and a retractable rod 8 extending and retracting from the drive telescopic rod 3. The retractable rod 8 of the drive telescopic rod 3 extends into the interior of the branch pipe 2 and is fixed with a movable block 4. A disc 5 is located below the movable block 4, and a water spraying mechanism is provided on the disc 5. A buffer mechanism is provided between the disc 5 and the movable block 4. The drive telescopic rod 3 can control the corresponding retractable rod 8 to extend and retract, and the retractable rod 8 can drive the corresponding movable block 4 and disc 5 to move. The radii of the movable block 4 and the disc 5 are the same as the inner diameter of the branch pipe 2, and the sides of the movable block 4 and the disc 5 can slide and fit against the inner wall of the branch pipe 2. The retractable rod 8 can drive the corresponding movable block 4 and the disc 5 to move inside the branch pipe 2, and the sliding fit between the sides of the movable block 4 and the disc 5 and the inner wall of the branch pipe 2 ensures a sealing effect. Both the movable block 4 and the disc 5 can be fitted with rubber layers or rubber rings to ensure a sealing effect when they are in contact with the inner wall of the branch pipe 2.
[0028] Those skilled in the art should know that the drive telescopic rod 3 can be an electrically driven telescopic rod or a manually rotated telescopic rod, and the electrically driven telescopic rod can be controlled by a PLC.
[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the branch pipe 2 is perpendicular to the connecting pipe body 1, and the inner diameter of the branch pipe 2 is smaller than the inner diameter of the connecting pipe body 1. The inner diameter of the connecting pipe body 1 can be set to 120mm, and the inner diameter of the branch pipe 2 can be set to 100mm. The length of the branch pipe 2 is greater than that of the connecting pipe body 1, with the length of the branch pipe 2 being 400mm and the length of the connecting pipe body 1 being 200mm.
[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, both ends of the connecting pipe body 1 can be connected to the fly ash grouting pipe 6. The inner diameter of the fly ash grouting pipe 6 is the same as the inner diameter of the connecting pipe body 1, that is, the inner diameter of the fly ash grouting pipe 6 and the inner diameter of the connecting pipe body 1 are both 120mm.
[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the drive telescopic rod 3 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting pipe body 1 through the support frame 7. The support frame 7 serves to stabilize and support the drive telescopic rod 3.
[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a cover plate 9 is detachably fixed to one end of the branch pipe 2 away from the connecting pipe body 1, and the contraction rod 8 slides through the cover plate 9. A corrugated sleeve 10 is coaxially provided at the bottom of the cover plate 9, and the corrugated sleeve 10 is fitted onto the contraction rod 8. The two ends of the corrugated sleeve 10 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the cover plate 9 and the side of the contraction rod 8, respectively. The corrugated sleeve 10 is made of rubber or a rubber-like PC material. The corrugated sleeve 10 seals the sliding gap between the contraction rod 8 and the cover plate 9 without affecting the movement of the contraction rod 8.
[0033] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the water spraying mechanism includes a corrugated metal pipe 11, a nozzle fixed on the upper side of the disc 5, and symmetrically arranged spray pipes 12 fixed on the side of the nozzle. Both ends of the corrugated metal pipe 11 are fixedly connected to the nozzle and the bottom of the movable block 4, respectively. The corrugated metal pipe 11 connects the movable block 4 and the disc 5. The corrugated metal pipe 11 communicates with the nozzle. A channel 13 is provided inside the retractable rod 8, which passes through the movable block 4 and communicates with the corrugated metal pipe 11. A water inlet pipe connector 15, communicating with the channel 13, is also fixed on the side of the retractable rod 8. The water inlet pipe connector 15 is used to connect to an external water injection pipe, allowing pressurized water to be injected. The pressurized water flows through the channel 13 into the corrugated metal pipe 11, then through the corrugated metal pipe 11 into the two spray pipes 12, and is sprayed out under pressure from the spray pipes 12. The spray pipes 12 guide the water flow. The number and direction of the spray pipes 12 can be adjusted or set according to requirements.
[0034] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the water inlet pipe joint 15 is located outside the branch pipe 2 and away from the end of the branch pipe 2. A drain pipe 16 is also installed on the side of the branch pipe 2. The drain pipe 16 is equipped with a valve and is connected to the inside of the branch pipe 2. When the valve on the drain pipe 16 is opened, the drain pipe 16 can discharge the water inside the branch pipe 2.
[0035] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the buffer mechanism includes a spring 14, which is located between the disc 5 and the movable block 4, and is sleeved on the metal bellows 11. A base is fixed to the upper side of the disc 5, and both ends of the spring 14 are fixedly connected to the base and the bottom of the movable block 4, respectively. The spring 14 serves to connect the movable block 4 and the disc 5. The spring 14 has a contraction buffering effect, and the metal bellows 11 also has a contraction buffering effect.
[0036] In this invention, the working principle of the device is as follows:
[0037] In use, if a blockage occurs, the drive telescopic rod 3 can be activated, causing the movable block 4 and disc 5 to move downwards. This allows the nozzle 12 to extend into the connecting pipe body 1. At this time, the water inlet pipe connector 15 connects to the external water injection pipe, allowing water with a certain pressure (15-25 MPa) to be injected. The water flows through the channel 13 into the metal corrugated pipe 11, then through the metal corrugated pipe 11 into the two nozzles 12, and is ejected from the nozzles 12 under pressure. The nozzles 12 act as water flow guides. The high-pressure water jet ejected through the nozzles 12 can purge and clean the blockage. The connecting pipe body 1 is designed to be installed at critical points (critical points include pipe bends, low-speed sections of straight pipes, and pipe valves where blockages are concentrated). Specifically, it is installed on the side or near pipe bends, low-speed sections of straight pipes, and pipe valves where blockages are concentrated. This allows for high-pressure water jet purging at these critical points, achieving rapid flushing and clearing of blockages, effectively reducing cleaning time and improving work efficiency.
[0038] Meanwhile, after being installed on the fly ash grouting pipe 6, the combination of spring 14 and disc 5 can also play a role in preventing water hammer. That is, when water hammer occurs, spring 14 can be impacted and contracted, thus playing a buffering and protective role. Similarly, metal corrugated pipe 11 can also play a contraction and buffering role, thereby protecting the corresponding connection of fly ash grouting pipe 6. For example, when installed at elbow connection, it can protect elbow connection, reduce the impact of water hammer on elbow, and also perform unblocking operation on elbows that are prone to blockage.
[0039] This invention enables efficient unblocking operations and minimizes downtime losses by setting unblocking structures at key nodes. It is designed based on the specific needs of pipeline cleaning.
[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
