Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of trench support technology, and more specifically, to a support device for excavating municipal pipeline trenches. Background Technology

[0002] Excavation of municipal pipeline trenches is an important part of municipal engineering construction. During the excavation process, the trench sidewalls are prone to collapse due to soil pressure, groundwater infiltration and other factors, so support devices are needed to protect the trenches.

[0003] The existing technology has the following problems: After trench excavation, it is often necessary to install support equipment at intervals along the length of the trench to support the sidewalls of the trench, in order to reduce the probability of the sidewalls of the trench collapsing under the action of lateral forces of the soil. Traditional support devices mostly rely on a single support plate for support. In trenches with soft soil or greater depth, the support plate is prone to displacement or deformation, and cannot effectively resist soil pressure. Utility Model Content

The base plate is slidably connected to the outer side of the sliding rod. The connecting rod is located between the lifting plate and the base plate.

[0007] One end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the nail tube, and the other end is fixedly connected to the middle of the insertion plate. The insertion plate is slidably connected to the inside of the nail tube.

[0008] One end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the bottom of the lifting plate, and the other end is rotatably connected to the top of the insert plate. The lifting plate is slidably connected inside the nail tube.

[0009] The adjustment mechanism includes a housing, an adjustment rod, a baffle, a second spring, a connecting plate, a mounting frame, a fixing rod, a third spring, and a U-shaped limiting rod.

[0011] The end of the adjusting rod away from the connecting plate passes through the outer shell and the sleeve rod, and is inserted into the inside of the support rod. The outer side of the support rod is provided with a socket that matches the adjusting rod along its length.

[0012] One end of the third spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame, and the other end is fixedly connected to the outside of the U-shaped limiting rod.

A screw-driven lifting plate extends the insertion plate and inserts it into the soil on both sides of the trench. Combined with the elastic buffer and displacement compensation of the first spring, it can resist lateral soil pressure and cope with slight soil settlement, avoiding the problems of easy displacement and deformation of traditional single support plates. At the same time, the telescopic insertion rod and the support rod form a triangular support structure, further enhancing the overturning resistance of the support plate and significantly reducing the risk of trench collapse. The adjustment mechanism can achieve stepless adjustment of the support rod length through the convenient operation of "U-shaped limit rod unlocking - support rod sliding - adjustment rod locking", which can adapt to trenches of different widths and depths without replacing parts. The telescopic insertion rod supports angle positioning and length adjustment. The conical end can be directly inserted into the soil layer, and the alloy drill bit can be replaced in the rock layer to adapt to various geological conditions and reduce the procurement cost of special support equipment. The support plate fits tightly with the sidewall of the trench. The insertion plate of the reinforcement mechanism enhances the soil interlocking through barbs, and the "adjustment rod insertion + U-shaped rod snap-fit" double locking of the adjustment mechanism can prevent loosening caused by construction vibration.

Next, the U-shaped limit rod 79 of the adjustment mechanism 7 is pulled outwards to unlock it. After the adjustment rod 72 exits the insertion hole of the support rod 5, the length of the support rod 5 is adjusted by sliding it along the scale line until the support plate 2 is completely in contact with the sidewall. Then, the connecting plate 75 is pushed to insert the adjustment rod 72 into the corresponding insertion hole, and the U-shaped limit rod 79 is released to complete the double locking. Afterwards, the telescopic rod 8 is rotated to a 45° to 60° angle with the bottom wall and the angle is fixed by the positioning pin. The locking mechanism is loosened and the inner rod is pulled to make the conical end... Insert the drill bit into the bottom rock layer and tighten the locking mechanism to form a triangular support. Then rotate the mounting plate 3 to fit the ground, insert the nail tube 41 of the reinforcement mechanism 4 into the mounting hole and press the pressure plate 42 into the soil. Turn the knob 45 clockwise to drive the screw 43 to lower the lifting plate 44. Push the insertion plate 48 through the connecting rod 49 to extend it into the soil. Use the first spring 47 to enhance the engagement. After completion, check the fit of the support plate 2 and the locking status. Use a pry bar to gently push and test the stability. During construction, inspect the reinforcement mechanism 4 for looseness, the locking status of the adjustment mechanism 7, and the insertion depth of the telescopic insertion rod 8. Deal with any problems in time. After construction, turn the knob 45 counterclockwise to retract the insertion plate 48 and pull out the nail tube 41. Loosen the locking mechanism of the telescopic insertion rod 8 to store the inner rod. Unlock the adjustment mechanism 7 to retract the support rod 5 into the sleeve rod 6. Finally, sort and move the parts, clean and inspect them. Repair damaged parts in time and store the intact parts for future use.
