Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a technique for rehabilitating existing pipes such as aged sewer pipes. [Background technology]

[0002] A widely known method for rehabilitating existing pipes, such as aged sewer pipes, is to line the inside of the existing pipe with a rehabilitating pipe and fill the gap between the outer surface of the rehabilitating pipe and the inner surface of the existing pipe with backfilling material such as cement milk or mortar. When filling the backfilling material, buoyancy is applied to the rehabilitating pipe, so it is common to carry out anti-floating work to prevent the rehabilitating pipe from floating up.

[0003] Meanwhile, in recent years, localized heavy rains known as "guerilla downpours" have become more frequent in urban areas, and flooding damage caused by water overflowing from manholes has become a problem in sewer systems. For pipelines with a high flow rate, a construction method is used in which the pipeline is rehabilitated while sewage is still flowing, but construction while the pipeline is in service carries the risk of rising water levels in the pipe and overflow due to rainfall. This risk is particularly high during flood seasons when torrential rains occur frequently. Therefore, there is a demand for a rehabilitation method that can reduce flow obstruction during construction. A known method of preventing floating that can reduce flow obstruction is to install support members to prevent floating between the rehabilitated pipe and the existing pipe.

[0004] Patent documents 1 and 2 describe a method in which support members are installed on the outer periphery of the rehabilitated pipe, the support members are abutted against the inner periphery of the existing pipe, and then backfill material is filled between the existing pipe and the rehabilitated pipe. Patent Document 3 discloses a plate-shaped support member curved in an arc shape. A plurality of spacing members are provided on the support member at intervals in the circumferential direction of the support member. The spacing members are made of coil springs, bolts, and nuts. The support members are inserted between the lined rehabilitating pipe and the existing pipe, and are arranged along the circumferential direction of the outer periphery of the rehabilitating pipe, and the tip of each spacing member is abutted against the inner periphery of the existing pipe. A plurality of support members are arranged at intervals in the extension direction of the existing pipe and the rehabilitating pipe. Then, backfilling material is filled between the existing pipe and the rehabilitating pipe. The support members prevent the rehabilitating pipe from floating up. Patent Document 4 describes a method in which a support member consisting of a porous curved plate is installed at the top of the existing pipe, the rehabilitated pipe is lined, and then backfilling material is filled between the rehabilitated pipe and the existing pipe. Patent Document 5 describes a method in which, before or after the production of the rehabilitated pipe, a support member made of a cylindrical mesh material is placed on the top of the existing pipe, and cement is injected into the cylindrical support member to expand it, and then backfill material is filled between the existing pipe and the rehabilitated pipe to prevent the rehabilitated pipe from floating up. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] JP 2018-109433 A [Patent Document 2] JP 2019-27594 A [Patent Document 3] JP 2016-188671 A [Patent Document 4] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 7-100925 [Patent Document 5] JP 2009-133477 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] The support members disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 3 must be brought into the pipe and installed in parallel with the lining of the rehabilitated pipe, which increases the obstruction of flow during construction, and there is a risk that the constituent members of the rehabilitated pipe and the support members may be washed away. In the rehabilitation construction method of Patent Document 4, support members made of curved perforated plates are installed before lining the rehabilitated pipe, which can reduce the obstruction of flow during lining construction, but since the rehabilitated pipe is manufactured to fit support members of a certain shape and size, the cross section of the manufactured rehabilitated pipe is likely to differ from the design cross section used in strength calculations, and if corrosion of the existing pipe is locally large, this may affect the safety of the structure. In the rehabilitation construction method of Patent Document 5, by installing a tubular support member after lining the rehabilitation pipe, it is possible to reduce flow obstruction during lining construction. However, in places where the existing pipe is misaligned, there is no gap between the rehabilitation pipe and the existing pipe, making it difficult to install and expand the tubular support member after lining the rehabilitation pipe. In consideration of the above circumstances, the present invention aims to provide an anti-floating device and method that can be installed without being hindered even if the existing pipe is uneven, can reduce flow obstruction during installation, and can ensure the finished shape of the rehabilitated pipe. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to solve the above problem, the present invention provides a floating prevention device that prevents a rehabilitating pipe from floating up when filling a backfilling material in a pipe-to-pipe space between a rehabilitating pipe lined along the inner circumference of an existing pipe and the existing pipe, A linear support beam material along the extension direction of the existing pipe; An attachment means for attaching the support beam material to an inner peripheral surface of the upper half of the existing pipe in a manner that allows the support beam material to approach and move away from the inner peripheral surface of the upper half of the existing pipe; Interposition members are interposed in the gap between the supporting beam material and the existing pipe with an amount of interposition adjustable according to the gap, and are arranged apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the supporting beam material; The present invention is characterized by comprising: The supporting beam material, the fastening means and the intermediate member constitute the supporting member.

[0008] According to the floating prevention device having the above characteristics, the installation work of the floating prevention device can be carried out prior to lining the rehabilitated pipe. Furthermore, since the supporting beam material is linear along the extension direction of the inner surface of the upper half of the existing pipe, its cross-sectional proportion in the cross section of the pipe is small, and downstream obstruction can be reduced. When there is an uneven part in the existing pipe, the arrangement of the supporting beam material is adjusted, or the amount of installation of the multiple interposing members is adjusted to adjust the distance (arrangement height) and inclination (angle) of the supporting beam material relative to the inner surface of the existing pipe. Therefore, even if the existing pipe is uneven, it does not hinder the installation. Then, the supporting beam material is moved toward and away from the inner circumferential surface of the existing pipe so that it rests on the rehabilitated pipe. Therefore, rather than making the shape of the rehabilitated pipe to follow the supporting beam material, the placement height of the supporting beam material can follow the rehabilitated pipe, ensuring the finished shape of the rehabilitated pipe. The amount of insertion of each interposing member is adjusted so that the supporting beam material comes into contact with the existing pipe when the supporting beam material is placed on the rehabilitated pipe, or so that each interposing member fills the gap between the existing pipe and the supporting beam material. When the supporting beam material comes into contact with the existing pipe, the amount of insertion is adjusted to zero. This allows the rehabilitated pipe to be held down from above by the supporting beam material when filling the backfill material, preventing the rehabilitated pipe from floating up.

[0009] It is preferable that the fastening means includes rod-shaped fastening bodies such as concrete screws that are arranged at intervals in the longitudinal direction of the supporting beam and fastened to the existing pipe. This allows the supporting beam to be stably fastened to the existing concrete pipe and to be movable toward and away from it. When the existing pipe is uneven, the supporting beam can be placed along the rehabilitated pipe and can be installed at an angle to a part of the existing pipe.

[0010] Preferably, the plurality of interposing members include a plurality of protruding and retracting members that can protrude from and retract into the surface of the supporting beam facing the existing pipe, and the amount of protrusion of the protruding and retracting members from the facing surface is provided as the interposing amount. In this way, the protruding and retracting members can be easily adjusted by contacting them with the existing pipe.

[0011] It is preferable that each of the plurality of projecting and retracting members is constituted by a screw, and that the supporting beam member has a plurality of female screw holes into which the screws are screwed, the female screw holes being spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction. This allows the projecting and retracting members to be projected and retracted from the supporting beam member by a screw-turning operation. Preferably, when installing the floating prevention device on an existing pipe, each of the protruding and retracting members is retracted into the supporting beam material, and then the protruding amount of each of the protruding and retracting members is adjusted according to the cross section of the rehabilitated pipe to be lined and the presence or absence of unevenness in the existing pipe, etc. This ensures the finished shape of the rehabilitated pipe and prevents the rehabilitated pipe from floating up when filling with backfill material.

[0012] At least one of the plurality of interposing members may be an adjustment plate whose number is adjusted according to the gap, and the amount of the adjustment plates stacked may be provided as the amount of interposing members. In this way, by replacing a part of the retractable member with the adjustment plate, the work of filling the gap between the support beam material and the existing pipe can be easily performed. In addition, the adjustment plate can have a larger contact area with the existing pipe than the retractable member, so that the load from the rehabilitating pipe when the backing material is filled can be well received, and damage to the existing pipe can be avoided.

[0013] It is preferable that the pipe has a plurality of support beams each extending along the extension direction and arranged spaced apart from each other circumferentially of the upper half of the existing pipe, and each longitudinal portion of each support beam is constituted by the support beam material. In this way, the floating of the rehabilitating pipe can be stably prevented. Adjacent support beam members in each support beam may be spaced apart in the extension direction, may be slightly offset in the circumferential direction of the pipe, or may be arranged at an angle to each other.

[0014] The present invention is a method for preventing floating of a rehabilitating pipe when filling a backfilling material into a space between an existing pipe and a rehabilitating pipe lined along the inner circumference of the existing pipe, the method comprising the steps of: Prior to lining the rehabilitating pipe, a linear support beam material extending in an extension direction of the existing pipe is attached to an inner peripheral surface of an upper half of the existing pipe by an attachment means so as to be movable toward and away from the inner peripheral surface of the upper half of the existing pipe; The method is characterized in that the support beam material is moved closer to and farther away from the existing pipe so that it rests on the rehabilitated pipe, and the amount of interposition is adjusted so that the support beam material contacts the existing pipe or so that a plurality of interposition members arranged at a distance in the longitudinal direction of the support beam material fill the gap between the support beam material and the existing pipe. According to this method, by installing the anti-floating device prior to lining the rehabilitated pipe, flow obstruction is reduced and the anti-floating device can be installed reliably. In addition, the intervening member is interposed between the supporting beam material and the existing pipe to follow the unevenness of the existing pipe, while the supporting beam material can be installed to follow the rehabilitated pipe regardless of the unevenness. Therefore, the finished shape of the rehabilitated pipe can be ensured. And, when filling the backfill material, the rehabilitated pipe can be pressed down from above by the supporting beam material, preventing the rehabilitated pipe from floating up.

[0015] It is preferable to adjust the amount of interposition when or immediately before lining the rehabilitating pipe directly below or to the side of the supporting beam material. This allows the supporting beam material to reliably follow the rehabilitating pipe being lined, and allows the amount of interposition of the interposition member (the protruding amount of the protruding member, if a protruding member is used) to reliably follow the unevenness of the existing pipe. Preferably, the height or thickness of the supporting beam is set in accordance with the minimum gap amount in the pipe axial direction of the angle portion where the supporting beam is placed in the inter-pipe space between the existing pipe and the rehabilitated pipe. This allows the supporting beam to abut the inner peripheral surface of the existing pipe when placed on the rehabilitated pipe at the minimum gap location. This eliminates the need to use an intervening member (if a protruding member is used, it is not necessary for the protruding member to protrude from the supporting beam, and the protrusion amount is adjusted to zero).

[0016] A pipe rehabilitation tool having a length substantially equal to the diameter of the pipe is prepared. Prior to the lining, with the base end of the rehabilitation pipe substitute jig abutted against the bottom of the existing pipe, the support beam material is placed on the tip of the rehabilitation pipe substitute jig while moving it closer to and away from the existing pipe, and the amount of interposition is adjusted so that the support beam material abuts against the existing pipe or the interposition member fills the gap between the support beam material and the existing pipe. Thereafter, the rehabilitating pipe is lined and a support beam is placed on the rehabilitating pipe. Then, the support beam comes into contact with the existing pipe or the intermediate member comes into contact with the existing pipe. Even in this case, the support beam material may be moved closer and farther away again when or immediately before the rehabilitation pipe is lined directly below or to the side of the support beam material, and the amount of spacing of each spacing member may be readjusted or fine-tuned.

[0017] Alternatively, after the lining, the rehabilitated pipe may be braced in the vertical direction or in the pipe diameter direction connecting the supporting beam material and the part 180° opposite to it. For example, a bracing jig is placed inside the rehabilitated pipe and extended in the vertical direction or in the pipe diameter direction. This ensures that when the rehabilitated pipe is deformed so as to be flattened by its own weight, the shape of the rehabilitated pipe can be corrected to ensure the finished shape. In addition, the rehabilitated pipe can be reliably hit against the supporting beam material, and the supporting beam material or the protruding member can be reliably hit against the existing pipe, so that the rehabilitated pipe can be reliably prevented from floating up when the backfilling material is filled. Effect of the Invention

[0018] According to the present invention, the anti-floating device can be installed without any problems even if the existing pipe is uneven. Also, the obstruction of flow during installation can be reduced. Furthermore, the finished shape of the rehabilitated pipe can be secured. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0020] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. <First embodiment (FIGS. 1 to 9)> Figures 1 and 2 show an existing pipe 1 that has been rehabilitated. The existing pipe 1 is a sewer pipe buried underground, but is not limited to this and may be a water supply pipe, an agricultural irrigation pipe, a hydroelectric power generation water pipe, a gas pipe, or a tunnel. A rehabilitation pipe 3 is lined along the inner circumference of the deteriorated existing pipe 1. An annular inter-pipe space 2 is formed between the existing pipe 1 and the rehabilitation pipe 3. The inter-pipe space 2 is filled with backfill material 4.

[0021] When the backfill material 4 is filled, buoyancy acts on the rehabilitating pipe 3, causing the rehabilitating pipe 3 to try to float up. To prevent this, a floating prevention device 5 is installed between the upper half of the existing pipe 1 and the rehabilitating pipe 3.

[0022] As shown in Fig. 1, the anti-floating device 5 includes a plurality of support beams 9 installed along the inner peripheral surface of the existing pipe 1. As shown in Fig. 2, the support beams 9 extend along the extension direction (left-right direction in Fig. 2) of the existing pipe 1 and the rehabilitating pipe 3. As shown in Fig. 1, the plurality of support beams 9 are arranged spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction of the upper half of the existing pipe 1. Preferably, two support beams 9 are installed close to each other on either side of the top of the existing pipe 1.

[0023] The support beams 9 only need to be placed on the upper half of the existing pipe 1, i.e., on the inner circumferential surface of the arch portion above both sides in the width direction of the existing pipe 1. More specifically, they only need to be placed within a range of ±90° with the top of the existing pipe 1 being 0°. However, the pipe top (0°) should be avoided. This makes it possible to prevent the rehabilitated pipe 3 from rotating with the support beam at the pipe top as a fulcrum when it is subjected to buoyancy. Preferably, at least one pair of support beams 9 is disposed in the range of 0° to ±45°. This makes it possible to effectively counter the buoyancy of the rehabilitation pipe 3. More preferably, the support beams 9 are arranged at angles as close as possible to ±45°, as shown in Figure 1. This reduces stress when earth pressure is applied, and reduces the risk of cracks starting near the support members.

[0024] As shown in Fig. 2, each support beam 9 is divided in the longitudinal direction into a plurality of support members 10. The support beam 9 is formed by arranging a plurality of support members 10 in a row. As shown in Figs. 3 to 5, each support member 10 includes a support beam material 11, an engagement means 20, and a projecting and retracting member 30 (intervening member). Furthermore, the anti-floating device 5 comprises a supporting beam material 11, an engaging means 20, and a retractable member 30.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 4, the supporting beam material 11 is formed in a straight line along the extension direction of the existing pipe 1. The supporting beam material 11 is made of, for example, flat steel material (flat bar). The length of the supporting beam material 11 is, for example, about 1000 mm to 2000 mm. The width of the supporting beam material 11 is, for example, about 25 mm to 150 mm. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the height dimension h connecting the existing pipe facing surface 11a and the rehabilitating pipe facing surface 11b of the supporting beam material 11 is 1.0 mm. 11 is set to be equal to the minimum gap amount d2 in the pipe axial direction of the angle portion where the supporting beam material 11 is arranged in the inter-pipe space 2, and is, for example, about 15 mm to 100 mm.

[0026] 2, a plurality of supporting beam materials 11 are arranged in a row in each supporting beam 9. In other words, each portion of the supporting beam 9 in the longitudinal direction is constituted by the supporting beam materials 11.

[0027] As shown in FIG. 5, the supporting beam material 11 is formed with a pair (two) of insertion holes 12 and a plurality of female screw holes 13. The insertion holes 12 are arranged at both ends of the supporting beam material 11 and penetrate the supporting beam material 12 vertically. As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, each insertion hole 12 is formed with an annular step 12d, and the second hole portion 12b above the step 12d has a smaller diameter than the first hole portion 12a below. The inner diameter of the first hole portion 12a is preferably about 8 mm to 15 mm. The inner diameter of the second hole portion 12b is preferably about 5 mm to 7 mm. The axial length of the hole portion 12b along the vertical direction is shorter than the axial length of the hole portion 12a.

[0028] As shown in Fig. 5, a plurality of female screw holes 13 are formed in the supporting beam material 11 in a portion inside the pair of insertion holes 12. The plurality of female screw holes 13 are formed spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal direction of the supporting beam material 11. The arrangement pitch of the female screw holes 13 is preferably about 200 mm to 1000 mm. Each female screw hole 13 penetrates the supporting beam material 11 from top to bottom. A female screw is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the female screw hole 13.

[0029] As shown in Fig. 3, each supporting beam 11 is provided with an attachment means 20 and a protruding member 30. The attachment means 20 includes a pair of concrete screws 21 (rod-shaped attachment bodies). As shown in Fig. 6, each concrete screw 21 is inserted into the corresponding insertion hole 12 from below. The tip of the concrete screw 21 protrudes upward from the supporting beam 11 and is driven into the concrete that constitutes the existing pipe 1. The head 21b of the concrete screw 21 protrudes from the inner circumferential surface of the existing pipe 1 into the space within the pipe. The amount of protrusion of the concrete screw head 21b is determined by the height h of the supporting beam 11. 11(Fig. 1). The step 12d is hooked onto the concrete screw head 21b, so that both longitudinal ends of the support beam 11 are attached to the existing pipe 1. This allows the support beam 11 to move closer to and away from (raise and lower) the inner circumferential surface of the upper half of the existing pipe 1 by the amount of protrusion of the concrete screw head 21b.

[0030] As shown in FIG. 3, each of the retractable members 30 is formed of a hollow set screw (set screw, locking screw) without a head. Preferably, the tip of the retractable member 30 is flat. The nominal screw diameter of the retractable member 30 is preferably M10 to M20. A plurality of retractable members 30 are arranged apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the support member 11, and are screwed into the corresponding female screw holes 13. As shown in FIG. 5, the screw-driving operation part 31 such as a hexagonal hole or a slot of the retractable member 30 (hollow set) is directed downward. The length of the retractable member 30 is equal to or less than the height (vertical dimension) of the supporting beam material 11. Therefore, the entire retractable member 30 can be accommodated inside the supporting beam material 11. By operating the screw-driving operation part 31, each of the retractable members 30 can be retracted from the existing pipe facing surface 11a of the supporting beam material 11.

[0031] Using the above-mentioned anti-floating device 5, the existing pipe 1 is rehabilitated as follows. As shown in Fig. 6, prior to lining (pipe manufacturing) of the rehabilitation pipe 3, the floating prevention device 5 is installed. More specifically, the supporting beam material 11 is arranged on the inner peripheral surface of the upper half of the existing pipe 1 with its longitudinal direction aligned with the extension direction of the existing pipe 1. Concrete screws 21 are inserted into the insertion holes 12 at both ends of the supporting beam material 11, and the tips of the concrete screws 21 are driven into the existing pipe 1. When the concrete screws 21 are driven partway, the driving is stopped so that the heads 21b are engaged with the step 12d, and the supporting beam material 11 is released below the upper half of the existing pipe 1 and suspended. In this way, the supporting beam material 11 is engaged with the existing pipe 1 via the concrete screws 21 so as to be able to approach and move away (raise and lower).

[0032] In this state, the distance between the inner peripheral surface of the existing pipe 1 and the existing pipe facing surface 11a of the supporting beam material 11 is set to be equal to or less than the height of the supporting beam material 11 and equal to or less than the length of the protruding member 30. In other words, a gap is provided between the supporting beam material 11 and the existing pipe 1 for a height that allows the protruding member 30 to protrude upward from the supporting beam material 11. Preferably, each of the retractable members 30 is recessed within the support beam 11 .

[0033] A plurality of supporting beam materials 11, and thus supporting members 10, are lined up in a row in the extension direction to form a supporting beam 9. Furthermore, two supporting beams 9 are installed in the upper halves on both sides of the existing pipe 1, sandwiching the top of the pipe therebetween. By installing the support beams 9 and thus the anti-floating device 5 prior to lining the rehabilitated pipe 3, downstream obstruction can be reduced compared to installing them in parallel with lining. Furthermore, the support beam material 11 of the anti-floating device 5 is linear along the extension direction of the inner circumferential surface of the upper half of the existing pipe 1, and occupies a small cross-sectional area relative to the cross section of the pipe, further reducing downstream obstruction. This allows the anti-floating device 5 to be installed reliably.

[0034] As shown in Figures 7(a) and 7(b), the rehabilitating pipe 3 is then lined. The rehabilitating pipe 3 is manufactured to meet the required or designed strength and cross section. At this time, the supporting beam 11 is moved closer to and away from the upper half of the existing pipe 1 (raised and lowered) so that the supporting beam 11 is placed on the upper half of the rehabilitating pipe 3 during lining (manufacturing). In effect, the supporting beam 11 is pushed up and brought closer to the inner peripheral surface of the upper half of the existing pipe 1. Therefore, the height of the supporting beam 11 can be adjusted to follow the rehabilitating pipe 3, and the finished shape of the rehabilitating pipe 3 can be secured. The moving closer and away operation (raising and lowering operation) of the supporting member 11 may be performed simultaneously with the lining of the rehabilitating pipe 3 directly below or to the side of the supporting beam 11, or may be performed immediately before that.

[0035] When the support member 11 is placed on the rehabilitation pipe 3, the existing pipe facing surface 11a of the support beam material 11 comes into contact with the existing pipe 1 (FIG. 7(a)), or a gap 2a is formed between the existing pipe facing surface 11a of the support beam material 11 and the inner peripheral surface of the existing pipe 1 (FIG. 7(b)). As shown in FIG. 7(b), when the gap 2a is formed, the retractable member 30 is protruded upward from the support beam material 11 by fitting a tool such as a hexagonal wrench 6 into the screw driving operation portion 31 of each retractable member 30 and turning it, so that the tip of the retractable member 30 abuts against the inner peripheral surface of the existing pipe 1. The protruding amount of the multiple retractable members 30 of the support beam material 11 (the amount of insertion into the gap between the existing pipe 1 and the support beam material 11) is adjusted individually so that the tip of each retractable member 30 abuts against the existing pipe 1. This causes the support beam material 11 to be sandwiched and fixed between the existing pipe 1 and the rehabilitated pipe 3. The adjustment of the amount of protrusion of the protruding member 30 may be performed in parallel with the raising and lowering operation of the support member 11, when the rehabilitation pipe 3 is lined directly below or to the side of the support beam material 11, or may be performed immediately before lining.

[0036] As shown in Figures 2 and 8, if the existing pipe 1 has a concave uneven portion 1c caused by corrosion or the like, the support beam material 11 is arranged straight along the pipe axis L3 regardless of the uneven portion 1c, and each protruding member 30 is abutted against the inner surface of the existing pipe 1 by adjusting the protrusion amount (extension allowance) to match the uneven portion 1c. By using a headless hollow set screw (set screw, locking screw) as the protruding member 30, the amount of protrusion (extension) from the supporting beam material 11 can be made large. The length of the retractable member 30 is the height dimension h of the support member 11. 11 By doing as described below, it is possible to prevent the protruding member 30 from protruding from the rehabilitating-pipe facing surface 11b of the support member 11, and it is possible to prevent the rehabilitating pipe 3 from being damaged due to contact with the protruding member 30.

[0037] As shown in Fig. 9, when a stepped uneven portion 1d is formed in the existing pipe 1 due to step misalignment or the like, the peripheral portion 3d of the uneven portion 1d in the rehabilitating pipe 3 is manufactured at an angle to the pipe axis L3 in front of and behind the uneven portion 1d. In accordance with this, the supporting beam material 11 of the supporting member 10A on the inner surface 1a of the existing pipe on the relatively upwardly recessed side across the uneven portion 1d is installed at an angle to the inner surface 1a of the existing pipe.

[0038] That is, the protruding amounts of the multiple protruding and retracting members 30 of the supporting member 10A are made different from one another. Specifically, the protruding amount of the protruding and retracting member 30 closer to the uneven portion 1d is made larger, and the tip of each protruding and retracting member 30 is abutted against the inner surface 1a of the existing pipe. This causes the supporting beam material 11 of the supporting member 10A to be tilted downward toward the uneven portion 1d. As a result, the supporting beam material 11 of the supporting member 10A can be placed on the inclined portion 3d of the rehabilitating pipe 3 along the inclined portion 3d.

[0039] The support member 10B of the inner surface 1b of the existing pipe on the side protruding relatively downward across the uneven portion 1d is preferably disposed away from the uneven portion 1d. As a result, the rehabilitating pipe 3 that has become straight and deviated from the inclined portion 3d caused by the uneven portion 1d comes into contact with the support member 10B.

[0040] In other words, the adjacent supporting beam members 11 of the supporting beam 9 do not necessarily need to be in contact with each other and be continuous with each other, and may be spaced apart from each other around the uneven portion 1d. 11 It is preferable that the distance between the adjacent supporting beams 11 is 500 mm or less. In addition to the periphery of the uneven portion 1d, adjacent supporting beams 11 may be spaced apart from each other in a portion where the diameter of the existing pipe 1 partially increases or decreases.

[0041] After lining the rehabilitating pipe 3, the backfilling material 4 is filled into the inter-pipe space 2. At this time, the rehabilitating pipe 3 is subjected to buoyancy from the backfilling material 4. In response to this, the supporting beam materials 10 of the two (multiple) supporting beams 9 press down on the rehabilitating pipe 3 from above, thereby preventing the rehabilitating pipe 3 from floating up. Even in the uneven parts 1c and 1d, the rehabilitating pipe 3 can be reliably prevented from floating up by pressing the rehabilitating pipe 3 against the rehabilitating-pipe-facing surfaces 11b of the supporting beam materials 10 (10A, 10B). As a result, the flow gradient of the rehabilitation pipe 3 can be secured. By flattening the tip of the retractable member 30 and increasing the tip area, it is possible to prevent the retractable member 30 from sinking into or penetrating the existing pipe 1 due to the buoyancy. If the existing pipe 1 is severely deteriorated or if the buoyancy generated is large, a protective plate such as an iron plate may be interposed between the inner circumferential surface of the existing pipe 1 and the retractable member 30.

[0042] Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the following embodiment, the same reference numerals are used in the drawings to denote configurations that overlap with the above-described embodiment, and the description will be simplified. The support beam material is not limited to flat steel plates (flat bars). <Second embodiment (FIG. 10)> As shown in Fig. 10, the supporting beam material 11B of the second embodiment is formed to have a cross-sectional shape in the shape of a square. The supporting beam material 11B includes a plurality of steel plates 15. These steel plates 15 are assembled into a rectangular ring (square), and the intersecting portions are joined by welding, bolting, or the like to form the supporting beam material 11B. Four steel plates 15 may be assembled into the square shape, or one or more steel plates 15 may be formed into the square shape by bending. The thickness of the steel plates 15 is preferably about 3.2 mm to 4.5 mm.

[0043] In the supporting beam material 11B, female screw holes 13A, 13B are formed in the top plate 16 and the bottom plate 17 made of the steel plate 15, respectively. The female screw holes 13A, 13B are screwed with the retractable member 30. When the retractable member 30 protrudes upward from the supporting beam material 11B, the retractable member 30 is screwed with only the female screw hole 13A of the top plate 16. The top plate 16 and the bottom plate 17 at both ends of the support beam material 11B are formed with insertion holes 12e, 12c for passing the concrete screws 21. The insertion hole 12c in the bottom plate 17 has a larger diameter than the head 21b of the concrete screw 21. The insertion hole 12e in the top plate 16 has a larger diameter than the threaded portion of the concrete screw 21 and a smaller diameter than the head 21b. Therefore, the head 21b is engaged with the periphery of the insertion hole 12e in the top plate 16. Preferably, the inner diameter of the insertion hole 12c is about 8 mm to 15 mm, and the inner diameter of the insertion hole 12e is about 5 mm to 7 mm.

[0044] <Third embodiment (FIG. 11)> As shown in Fig. 11, a supporting beam material 11C of the third embodiment is formed to have a U-shaped cross section. The supporting beam material 11C is formed by assembling one or a plurality of steel plates 15 in a U-shape.

[0045] A female screw hole 13A is formed in a top plate 16 made of a steel plate 15 of the support beam material 11C. A retractable member 30 is screwed into the female screw hole 13A. At both ends of the top plate 16 of the support beam material 11C, there are formed insertion holes 12e through which the concrete screws 21 can be passed and into which the heads 21b can be engaged.

[0046] <Fourth embodiment (FIG. 12)> As shown in Fig. 12, a supporting beam material 11D of the fourth embodiment is formed to have an L-shaped cross section. The supporting beam material 11D is formed by assembling one or two steel plates 15 into an L shape.

[0047] A female screw hole 13A is formed in a top plate 16 made of a steel plate 15 of the support beam material 11D. A retractable member 30 is screwed into the female screw hole 13A. At both ends of the top plate 16 of the support beam material 11D, there are formed insertion holes 12e through which the concrete screws 21 can be passed and into which the heads 21b can be engaged.

[0048] <Fifth embodiment (FIG. 13)> As shown in Fig. 13, the supporting beam 11E of the fifth embodiment is made of a round steel bar or a deformed steel bar and has a circular cross section. A female screw hole 13 is formed so as to penetrate the supporting beam 11E from top to bottom. A retractable member 30 is screwed into the female screw hole 13. At both ends of the support beam material 11E, there are formed insertion holes 12 through which the concrete screws 21 can be passed and into which the heads 21b can be engaged. Preferably, a deformed steel bar having irregularities such as ribs and knots (not shown) is used as the supporting beam material 11E. This can enhance the unity with the backfilling material 4.

[0049] <Sixth embodiment (FIG. 14)> 14, the end of the supporting beam material 11F of the sixth embodiment is formed with uneven portions 18, 19. The uneven portions 18, 19 of adjacent supporting beam materials 11F in the supporting beam 9 are combined so as to mesh with each other in the thickness direction (up and down).

[0050] <Seventh embodiment (FIG. 15)> In the seventh embodiment, the height of the support beam material 11 and the protrusion amount of the protruding member 30 are adjusted before the lining process of the rehabilitation pipe 3. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 15, a rehabilitation pipe substitute jig 40 is prepared in advance. The rehabilitation pipe substitute jig 40 is formed in a straight rod shape. The length of the rehabilitation pipe substitute jig 40 is approximately equal to the pipe diameter of the rehabilitation pipe 3 shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 15. Strictly speaking, the rehabilitation pipe substitute jig 40 is formed so that when its base end 41 contacts the bottom (lower half) of the existing pipe 1, its tip end 42 is positioned on the outer periphery of the upper half of the rehabilitation pipe 3.

[0051] During rehabilitation work, the supporting beam 11 is attached to the inner peripheral surface of the existing pipe 1 with concrete screws 21 (see FIG. 6). Then, prior to lining the rehabilitation pipe 3, the base end 41 of the rehabilitation pipe substitute jig 40 is abutted against the bottom of the existing pipe 1, preferably against a position 1p that is 180° opposite the arrangement angle of the supporting beam 11. Also, the tip 42 of the rehabilitation pipe substitute jig 40 is directed toward the arrangement angle of the supporting beam 11. In FIG. 15, the rehabilitation pipe substitute jig 40 is inclined 45° from the vertical, in accordance with the arrangement of the supporting beam 11 at an angle of ±45° from the pipe top (0°).

[0052] Furthermore, the supporting beam 11 is placed on the tip 42 of the rehabilitation pipe substitute jig 40 while being moved closer to and away from the existing pipe 1. Then, the protruding amount of the protruding members 30 is adjusted so that the supporting beam 11 directly contacts the inner peripheral surface of the existing pipe 1 or the tip of each protruding member 30 butts against the inner peripheral surface of the existing pipe 1. After the adjustment, the rehabilitation pipe substitute jig 40 is removed. By the removal, the support beam material 11 is separated from the inner peripheral surface of the existing pipe 1, and can return to a state in which it is suspended by the concrete screws 21 (see FIG. 6). The above adjustment is performed using a pipe rehabilitation substitute jig 40 for each of the support beams 11 on both the left and right sides of the pipe top.

[0053] Thereafter, the rehabilitating pipe 3 is lined. At this time, the supporting beams 11 are moved toward and away from the existing pipe 1, and placed on the outer circumferential surface of the rehabilitating pipe 3. Then, the supporting beams 11 will naturally come into contact with the existing pipe 1, or the tips of the protruding members 30 will abut against the existing pipe 1. Furthermore, when the support beam material 11 is placed on the rehabilitation pipe 3, if the support beam material 11 moves away from the existing pipe 1 and the tip of the protruding member 30 moves away from the existing pipe 1, the amount of protrusion of the protruding member 30 is readjusted or fine-tuned so that the tip of the protruding member 30 abuts against the existing pipe 1.

[0054] Alternatively, when the rehabilitating pipe 3 after lining is deformed so as to be flattened by its own weight, causing the supporting beam material 11 to separate from the existing pipe 1 or the tip of the protruding member 30 to separate from the existing pipe 1, the rehabilitating pipe 3 may be braced in the vertical direction or in the pipe diameter direction connecting the supporting beam material 11 and the part 180° opposite to it by a bracing jig (not shown). In this way, by correcting the shape of the rehabilitating pipe 3, it is possible to ensure that the rehabilitating pipe 3 hits the supporting beam material 11 reliably and that the supporting beam material 11 or the protruding member 30 hits the existing pipe 1 reliably. As a result, the finished shape of the rehabilitating pipe 3 can be secured, and the rehabilitating pipe 3 can be reliably prevented from floating up when the backfilling material 4 is filled.

[0055] <Eighth embodiment (FIG. 16)> The eighth embodiment relates to a modified embodiment of a rehabilitating pipe substitute jig. As shown in Fig. 16, a rehabilitating pipe substitute jig 50 of the eighth embodiment includes a support pillar 51 and a receiving portion 52. The support pillar 51 extends vertically in a straight line. The receiving portion 52 is provided at the upper end of the support pillar 51. The receiving portion 52 is formed in an arc shape with the same curvature as the pipe diameter of the rehabilitating pipe 3 shown by the two-dot chain line in Fig. 16. In Fig. 16, the supporting beam material 11 is disposed at an angle of ±45° from the pipe top (0°), and accordingly, the receiving portion 52 extends to an angle of ±45° from the support pillar 51 as the center. The length of the rehabilitating pipe substitute jig 50 (the sum of the height of the support 51 and the thickness of the receiving portion 52 ) is substantially equal to the pipe diameter of the rehabilitating pipe 3 .

[0056] In the eighth embodiment, after the supporting beams 11 are attached to the inner peripheral surface of the existing pipe 1, the lower end (base end) of the support 51 is butted against the center of the bottom of the existing pipe 1 before lining the rehabilitating pipe 3, and the rehabilitating pipe substitute jig 50 is erected vertically. As a result, the receiving part 52 is arranged to be aligned along the circumferential direction of the upper half of the outer peripheral surface of the rehabilitating pipe 3 to be lined. The supporting beams 11 are placed on both ends of the receiving part 52, and the protruding amount of the protruding member 30 is adjusted so that each supporting beam 11 directly contacts the inner peripheral surface of the existing pipe 1 or the tip of the protruding member 30 of each supporting beam 11 contacts the inner peripheral surface of the existing pipe 1. The rehabilitating pipe substitute jig 50 allows the above adjustment to be performed simultaneously on the left and right supporting beams 11 in parallel. The subsequent steps are the same as those in the seventh embodiment.

[0057] <Ninth embodiment (FIGS. 17 to 22)> In the ninth embodiment, in addition to the retractable member 30, an adjustment plate 60 is used as the interposition member. The supporting beam material 11G used in this embodiment has a flat rectangular cross section, similar to the supporting beam material 11B of the second embodiment, and includes a top plate 111, a bottom plate 112, and a pair of side plates 113. As shown in FIG. 19(a), the top plate 111 is formed with a plurality of insertion holes 115, which are elongated holes extending in the longitudinal direction, at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction. As shown in FIG. 17, the bottom plate 112 is formed with an operation hole 116 at a position corresponding to the insertion hole 115. The operation hole 116 is large enough to include the insertion hole 115. In addition, the side plate 113 is formed with small through holes 117 at a short pitch for introducing backfilling material.

[0058] As shown in Figures 19(a) and 17, a cylindrical nut 118 is disposed in the center between the insertion holes 115 of the supporting beam 11G. That is, the insertion holes 115 and the nuts 118 are disposed alternately along the longitudinal direction of the supporting beam 11G. The upper and lower ends of this nut 118 are welded to the top plate 11 and the bottom plate 112. The female screw hole 118a of this nut 118 is screwed with the retractable member 30 made of enamel set. Before the adjustment process, the retractable member 30 is fitted in the nut 18.

[0059] 20, the adjustment plate 60 has a rectangular main plate portion 61 and a rectangular sub-plate portion 62 that is narrower than the main plate portion 61 and forms a right angle with the main plate portion 61, forming an L-shape. The main plate portion 61 has a slit 65 that extends in a direction perpendicular to the sub-plate portion 62 and reaches the side edge on the opposite side of the sub-plate portion 62. The width of the slit 65 is greater than the diameter of the concrete screw 21.

[0060] As in the previous embodiment, concrete screws 21 are driven into the existing pipe 1 through the insertion holes 115 of the supporting beam 11G, thereby holding the supporting beam 11G in a suspended state as shown in Figures 17(a) and 18(a). In the process of lining the rehabilitating pipe 3, the supporting beam 11G is positioned so that it rests on the outer surface of the rehabilitating pipe 3. If a gap is formed between the supporting beam 11G and the existing pipe 1 in this positioned state, the protruding member 30 is screwed in so that its tip abuts against the inner circumference of the existing pipe 1 as shown in Figure 17(b).

[0061] Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17(b) and FIG. 18(b), the adjustment plate 60 is inserted as many times as necessary to fill the gap. That is, the main plate portion 61 of the first adjustment plate 60 is inserted from a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the support beam material 11G so that the slit 65 is inserted into the concrete screw 21. As a result, the main plate portion 61 is placed on the top plate 111 of the support beam material 11G, and the sub-plate portion 62 is placed against the higher side plate 113. If necessary, an additional adjustment plate 60 is inserted between the previously inserted adjustment plate 60 and the existing pipe 1 in the same manner as above. The main plate portions 61 of the adjustment plates 60 overlap each other, and the sub-plate portions 62 overlap each other. The inserted adjustment plate 60 is stably maintained attached to the support beam material 11G because the concrete screw 21 is inserted into the slit 65 and the sub-plate portion 62 is placed on the higher side plate 113.

[0062] As described above, by simply inserting the adjustment plate 60, it is possible to fill the gap between the support beam material 11G and the existing pipe 1. Even if buoyancy acts on the rehabilitating pipe 3 during the filling process of the backing material 4, the adjustment plate 60, which has a larger area than the protruding member 30, can stably receive the load from the rehabilitating pipe 3 without damaging the existing pipe 1.

[0063] Although the retractable members 30 and the adjustment plates 60 can be arranged alternately, as shown in Fig. 19(b), a pair of retractable members 30 may be arranged at both ends of the support beam 30, and multiple adjustment plates 60 may be arranged between them. In this case, the function of the adjustment plates 60 can be maximized. Only a pair of concrete screws 21 may be arranged at both ends of the supporting beam 11G. For example, in Fig. 19(c), the concrete screws 21 may be passed through insertion holes 115' formed between the protruding members 30 near both ends and both ends of the supporting beam 11G. In this case, the adjustment plate 60 may be overlapped between the protruding members 30 without being restrained by the concrete screws 21. Furthermore, the arrangement of the retractable member 30 and the adjustment plate 60 can be changed as required.

[0064] As shown in Fig. 21, adjustment plates 60 having different thicknesses may be used in combination. This allows the gap between the supporting beam material 11G and the existing pipe 1 to be filled with higher accuracy.

[0065] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, the rod-shaped fasteners are not limited to concrete screws 21, but may be nails, anchor bolts, pins, etc. The number of rod-shaped fasteners per support member 10 is not limited to a pair (two), but may be one or three or more. The fastening means 20 is not limited to rod-shaped fasteners, but may include hooks, etc. A screw having a convex head, such as a hexagonal bolt, may be used as the retractable member 30. In this case, it is preferable that the height of the screw head is as low as possible. In order to improve the unity with the backfilling material 4, the supporting beam material may have holes or irregularities formed therein by punching or the like. In places where the unevenness 1c, 1d (clearance) is too large due to partial corrosion of the existing pipe 1, the protruding parts may be replaced with protruding parts with a height dimension equal to or greater than that of the supporting beam material when lining the rehabilitated pipe 3. In that case, care must be taken to ensure that the protruding parts do not protrude into the rehabilitated pipe side and damage the rehabilitated pipe 3. [Industrial Applicability]

[0066] The present invention is applicable, for example, to a technology for rehabilitating aged sewer pipes. [Explanation of symbols]
