Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of groundwater engineering, and in particular to a connection structure between a pipe and a well chamber. Background Technology

[0002] As a key structural element in municipal engineering and drainage systems, manholes primarily function to inspect, connect, and guide underground pipelines. Currently, most manholes are constructed using on-site casting, which involves erecting formwork and reinforcing steel bars on-site, followed by concrete pouring. While this method is highly adaptable, it also has several drawbacks.

[0003] When existing manholes are set up with reserved pipe interfaces in a confined space, the construction progress is slow and inefficient due to space constraints. This leads to unstable connection between the reserved pipe interfaces and the drainage pipes, resulting in poor sealing. Furthermore, due to limited on-site construction conditions, there is often a lack of effective rigid connection between the manhole structure and the reserved pipe interfaces, which can easily cause cracks, misalignment, and water leakage at the connection points. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the problems existing in the prior art, such as the need for on-site template construction, steel reinforcement and casting, which are difficult to carry out in a narrow space. Due to the limited on-site construction conditions, there is often a lack of effective rigid connection between the well structure and the reserved interface of the pipeline, which can easily cause cracks, misalignment and water seepage at the connection. This utility model provides a connection structure between the pipeline and the well.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a connection structure between a pipe and a manhole, including a lower manhole, a splicing section at the top of the lower manhole, an upper manhole at the end of the splicing section away from the lower manhole, and a manhole cover connected to the end of the upper manhole away from the splicing section;

[0006] The lower well chamber includes a through hole for connecting a drainage pipe. The diameter of the through hole is larger than the diameter of the drainage pipe. The inner wall of the through hole is provided with an annular groove for grouting to fill the gap between the inner wall of the through hole and the drainage pipe. A water-stop ring is embedded in the annular groove and is coaxially arranged with the drainage pipe.

[0007] The lower well chamber, the splicing section, and the upper well chamber are all prefabricated structural components;

[0008] The top of the lower well chamber is provided with a first protrusion, and the end of the splicing section facing the lower well chamber is provided with a first groove. The first protrusion is engaged with the first groove. The end of the splicing section away from the first groove is provided with a second protrusion. The end of the upper well chamber facing the splicing section is provided with a second groove. The second protrusion is engaged with the second groove.

[0009] This utility model provides a connection structure between a pipe and a manhole. By prefabricating structural components in the lower manhole, compared to traditional construction methods that require construction in confined underground spaces, this utility model improves construction efficiency by prefabricating the lower manhole, splicing section, and upper manhole, and then installing them by splicing. Furthermore, it allows for the pre-setting of pipe pre-drilled holes (through holes), enhancing the connection stability between the drainage pipe and the lower manhole. The splicing section extends the lower manhole, enabling it to adapt to underground wells of varying depths and improving the manhole structure's ductility. In actual construction, the height of the entire manhole can be adjusted according to the specific burial requirements. The lower manhole has a through hole for connecting to a drainage channel, and the inner wall of this through hole has an annular groove. The annular groove creates a reinforced and sealed space between the drainage pipe and the manhole, improving the overall sealing performance of the lower manhole and the drainage pipe connection, and reducing the probability of liquid leakage from the connection point. Furthermore, a water-stop ring is embedded within the annular groove, and the water-stop ring is coaxially positioned with the drainage pipe. This ensures that after the subsequent drainage pipe connects to the lower manhole through the through-hole, the water-stop ring enhances the sealing between the drainage pipe and the through-hole, preventing groundwater or other liquid leakage and improving the overall operational reliability of the manhole. This invention also utilizes a snap-fit ​​structure between the first boss and the first groove, and the second boss and the second groove, to achieve rapid assembly of the lower manhole and the splicing section, and the upper manhole and the splicing section. This ensures a secure connection while facilitating disassembly and maintenance, enhancing the modularity and ease of assembly of the manhole.

[0010] Preferably, the lower well chamber includes a leveling foundation and a lower well chamber cavity, the bottom of which is connected to the top of the leveling foundation, and the top of which is connected to the splicing section.

[0011] By setting up a leveling foundation, the lower well chamber can be stably supported at the bottom during installation. The connection between the leveling foundation and the bottom of the lower well chamber improves the stability and anti-settlement capacity of the overall structure. The top of the lower well chamber is connected to the upper well chamber through splicing sections, which realizes the flexible combination of well chambers of different depths, enhances the adaptability and assembly efficiency of the well chamber system, facilitates modularization and standardization of construction, improves construction quality and reduces costs.

[0012] Preferably, a sealing element is provided between the lower well chamber and the splicing section, and a sealing element is also provided between the splicing section and the upper well chamber.

[0013] Sealing components are installed between the lower well chamber and the splicing section, and between the splicing section and the upper well chamber. This effectively improves the sealing performance between the connecting sections, prevents rainwater and groundwater from seeping into the well chamber, and enhances the seepage prevention capability of the entire well chamber system. At the same time, it avoids sewage leakage and environmental pollution, and enhances the durability and safety of the structure.

[0014] Preferably, a first pouring joint is provided between the lower well chamber and the splicing section, and a second pouring joint is provided between the splicing section and the upper well chamber.

[0015] Preferably, both the splicing section and the upper well chamber are equipped with ladders, which are arranged along the axial direction of the splicing section.

[0016] Preferably, the top of the upper well chamber is provided with a manhole cover mounting cylinder, the manhole cover mounting cylinder is eccentrically positioned with respect to the upper well chamber, and the manhole cover mounting cylinder is located in the area above the ladder.

[0017] Preferably, the lower well chamber, the splicing section, and the upper well chamber are all concrete structures.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] 1. This utility model provides a connection structure between a pipe and a manhole. By prefabricating structural components in the lower manhole, compared to traditional construction methods that require construction in confined underground spaces, this utility model improves construction efficiency by prefabricating the lower manhole, splicing section, and upper manhole, and then installing them by splicing. It also allows for the pre-setting of pipe pre-drilled holes (through holes), improving the connection stability between the drainage pipe and the lower manhole. The splicing section extends the lower manhole, allowing it to adapt to underground wells of different depths, improving the manhole structure's ductility. In actual construction, the height of the entire manhole can be adjusted according to the actual burial location. The lower manhole has a through hole for connecting to a drainage channel; the inner wall of this through hole has an annular groove. The annular groove creates a reinforced and sealed space between the drainage pipe and the manhole, improving the overall sealing performance of the lower manhole and the drainage pipe connection, and reducing the probability of liquid leakage from the connection point. Furthermore, a water-stop ring is embedded within the annular groove, and the water-stop ring is coaxially positioned with the drainage pipe. This ensures that after the subsequent drainage pipe connects to the lower manhole through the through-hole, the water-stop ring further enhances the sealing between the drainage pipe and the through-hole, preventing groundwater or other liquid leakage and improving the overall operational reliability of the manhole. This invention also utilizes a snap-fit ​​structure between the first boss and the first groove, and the second boss and the second groove, to achieve rapid assembly of the lower manhole and the splicing section, and the upper manhole and the splicing section. This ensures a secure connection while facilitating disassembly and maintenance, enhancing the modularity and ease of assembly of the manhole. Attached Figure Description
