Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the construction technology of drilling holes in circular culverts, specifically to a device for improving the efficiency of drilling holes in circular culverts. Background Technology
[0002] With the advancement of global urbanization, urban population density is increasing, and land resources are becoming increasingly scarce. Modern cities rely on various pipelines such as electricity, communications, water supply and drainage, and gas. Traditional laying methods lead to frequent road excavation, affecting traffic and daily life. Traditional overhead or direct burial methods are no longer sufficient to meet the demands. Urban expansion and renovation require a more efficient and intensive infrastructure layout. Integrated utility tunnels have become an important means of optimizing urban space. Through centralized laying, repeated excavation is reduced, improving the safety and efficiency of pipeline management, enhancing the city's disaster resilience, and ensuring the safe operation of pipelines during disasters.
[0003] Integrated utility tunnels are constructed using various methods, including open-cut, cut-and-cover, and pipe jacking. The structures also include rectangular, circular, and irregular shapes. Drilling is relatively easy for rectangular structures, but circular and irregular shapes present significant challenges, primarily: 1. Circular structures are curved, making it difficult to control the drilling angle, which can lead to hole deviation, resulting in bolt misalignment and weakened tightening force; 2. Drilling curved structures is inefficient and time-consuming; 3. Traditional drilling equipment requires manual operation, making the final hole quality highly dependent on worker skill and incurring high labor costs. Utility Model Content

[0037] The fixed plate and the movable support arm are fixed together by welding. During operation, the movable support arm extends from the fixed support arm, and the fixed plate presses against the inner wall of the circular culvert, thereby fixing the entire device and raising the walking system. During movement, the movable support arm retracts into the fixed support arm, and the walking system lowers to move.

[0044] In this embodiment of the support system, the curvature of the upper fixed plate is determined according to the diameter of the culvert on site. The center position of the device can be adjusted, i.e., the rotation center, by means of two movable support arms.
[0045] In this embodiment of the walking system, the frame is used to stabilize the entire device, and the casters are swivel casters used to adjust the position of the device and are locked in the working state by a locking mechanism to prevent movement.
[0046] In this embodiment, the frame, fixed support arm, and movable support arm are all made of structural steel, while the adjustment plate is made of steel plate.

[0051] 3) After the working angle is adjusted, start test drilling. If there are no problems with the test drilling, start formal drilling to form a hole. After the hole is formed, retract the working arm and pre-embed the bolts.
[0052] 4) After the working arm retracts, the limit of the lower movable support arm is released and it retracts, but the limit of the upper movable support arm and the working arm is not released.
[0053] 5) After moving to the next drilling position via the walking system, directly adjust the movable support arm. After adjustment, tighten the bolts to fix the support arm. Then, conduct trial drilling and drilling operations.
[0054] A drilling method for a device to improve the drilling efficiency of circular culverts includes the following steps:
[0055] (1) Move the device to the section of the circular culvert to be drilled by the walking system, fix the device in the center of the circular culvert by the support system, fix the water drill in the drilling position by the working system to drill, and after drilling, change the circumferential position of the water drill by the working system to continue drilling.
[0056] (2) After completing the drilling on one side, adjust the left and right orientation of the device and continue to complete the drilling on the other side;
[0057] (3) After the drilling of one section is completed, adjust the axial position of the device and repeat steps (1) and (2) to continue drilling the other section until the drilling of the circular culvert is completed.
[0058] In step (1), when the walking system is walking, the support arm retracts to a position that does not affect the walking system; when the support system is fixed, the support arm extends and the walking system is raised; when the circumferential position is switched, the rotation center coincides with the center of the circular culvert, and the length direction of the working arm is set along the radius direction of the circular culvert.
