Description

A relay-type earthwork transport method and transport device for earth pressure balance pipe jacking Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of pipeline construction, and in particular relates to a relay-type earthwork transporting method and a transporting device for an earth pressure balance jacking pipe. Background Art

[0002] Pipe jacking, a trenchless construction technique developed after shield tunneling, is widely used in underground construction, offering advantages such as rapid excavation and high safety. Pipe jacking machines primarily include earth pressure balance, slurry balance, and air pressure balance types. Different types of pipe jacking machines are suitable for different strata and require varying degrees of control over construction parameters. In practical applications, the appropriate pipe jacking machine should be selected based on the specific engineering geological conditions.

[0003] The working principle of earth pressure balance pipe jacking is to balance the groundwater pressure and soil pressure of the stratum at the excavation face with the pressure of the soil chamber in the tool tube. By controlling the amount of excavation or the jacking speed of the pipe jacking machine, the soil pressure value in the sealed soil chamber is controlled to ensure that this soil pressure value is balanced with the sum of the static soil pressure and groundwater pressure in front of the tunnel face, so as to ensure the stability of the tunnel face and prevent excessive settlement or uplift of the surface.

[0004] Currently, the most common method for excavating earth during earth pressure balance (EPB) pipe jacking construction involves a screw conveyor coupled with a trolley that travels on simple tracks. Due to the confined space within the pipe during jacking, the size of the trolley is generally limited, limiting the amount of earth that can be transported at a time. Furthermore, it is difficult to arrange multiple tracks to allow multiple trolleys to circulate within the pipe. In actual engineering applications, when the trolley is fully loaded with earth, it must be transported out of the pipe and then returned to the machine head for reloading. During this period, the pipe jacking machine is unable to advance or excavate due to the need to wait for the trolley to return. For example, in patents CN 116101795 A and CN 111365016 A, only one trolley is transporting earth at a time on the same track, which does not fundamentally address the problem. As the jacking distance increases, the time required for the trolley to transport earth increases, and so does the waiting time for the pipe jacking machine. This significantly impacts the efficiency of pipe jacking projects with long single jacking distances.

[0005] The patent "Earth Pressure Balance Pipe Jacking Machine Construction and Excavation System" (publication number CN212898506U) discloses an earth pressure balance pipe jacking machine construction and excavation system, including an earth pressure balance pipe jacking machine, a mixing tank, a mud-water separator and a PLC. A screw conveyor is provided at the bottom of the cavity inside the earth pressure balance pipe jacking machine, and the output port of the screw conveyor is located above the mixing tank. The mixing tank is a hollow rectangular parallelepiped with an open upper side. The mixing tank is arranged adjacent to the external tail end of the pipe jacking machine, and is provided with a stirring paddle and a mud pump inside. The mud pump is connected to the mud-water separator through a first plastic hose; the PLC is welded and fixed to the power supply of the earth pressure balance pipe jacking machine, and the liquid level information in the mixing tank is monitored in real time through a liquid level sensor and fed back to the PLC. The PLC controls the switching of the screw conveyor, the driving motor of the stirring paddle, the mud pump and the mud-water separator according to the information to realize the automatic excavation operation of the earth pressure balance pipe jacking machine. The application of this utility model patent must be applied when the excavated earth is in a mud state or after the earth is improved into a mud state, which has great limitations. In addition, the mud needs to be subsequently processed after the earth is transported, which increases the cost. For construction in cities, there may also be insufficient construction space, and a mud sedimentation tank cannot be arranged at the jacking working shaft, which further limits the application of the system. Technical issues

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem that the existing earthwork transportation method causes the machine head to wait for the earth-moving trolley for a long time, resulting in low construction and transportation efficiency, and to provide an earth pressure balance type jacking pipe earthwork relay type reverse transportation method and transportation device to improve construction efficiency. Technical Solutions

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above problems is:

[0008] An earth pressure balance type pipe jacking in-pipe earthwork transportation device includes a screw conveyor, an earth-moving trolley, and a temporary track. The screw conveyor is installed behind the pipe jacking cutterhead. The earth-moving trolley includes a chassis and a hopper that can be separated from the chassis. The earth pressure balance type pipe jacking in-pipe earthwork transportation device also includes a plurality of relay stations. The relay stations are provided with a hopper exchange system. The hopper exchange system includes a lift, and the lift is installed on the lift base platform.

[0009] The relay stations are sequentially set up on both sides of the temporary track between the pipe jacking machine and the pipeline outlet, and a soil transport trolley is equipped between every two adjacent relay stations.

[0010] Preferably, the distance l1 between the first station closest to the head of the pipe jacking machine and the unearthed head of the pipe jacking machine in the relay station is calculated as follows:

[0024] Preferably, in the relay station, the distance between the second and subsequent relay stations is calculated as follows:

[0025]

[0026] Where:

[0027] l i : The distance between the (i-1)th to i-th stations (m), the i-th station refers to the i-th relay station counted from the head position of the pipe jacking machine toward the starting well, i>1;

[0028] t i : The total time (min) for the soil transport vehicle to complete one soil transport between the (i-1)th to i-th stations;

[0029] t c2: The time (min) it takes for the soil-carrying trolley at the previous station to replace the empty hopper with a full hopper after arriving at the relay station.

[0030] Preferably,

[0031] The hopper can be lifted up using the lift at the relay station; when the hopper is lifted up to the maximum height, a soil-carrying trolley with the hopper can pass normally underneath.

[0032] Preferably, the bottom plate of the soil transport trolley adopts a groove design, and the shape of the bottom of the hopper matches the groove.

[0033] In addition, the present invention also discloses a relay-type earthwork transport method in an earth pressure balance type jacking pipe, comprising:

[0034] Step S1. Design of relay station spacing;

[0035] The design of the relay station spacing needs to consider a comprehensive number of factors, including the total duration of a single jacking operation, the pipeline jacking speed, the jacking and excavation speed, the full load volume of the soil transport trolley, the average speed of the soil transport trolley in the pipeline, and the time it takes for the trolleys to exchange hoppers at the relay station.

[0036] The distance between stations 0 and 1 can be calculated as follows:

[0037]

[0038] in:

[0039] V d : Daily excavation volume required by the construction schedule (m³);

[0040] V0: The full load volume of the trolley (m³);

[0041] l s : acceleration distance of the car (m);

[0042] l f : distance of the car deceleration section (m);

[0043] l1: distance between stations 0 and 1 (m), station 0 refers to the position where the head of the pipe jacking machine is unearthed, and station 1 refers to the relay station closest to the head of the pipe jacking machine;

[0044] v s : Average speed of the soil transport vehicle during acceleration (m / min);

[0049] t c1 : The time it takes to replace a full hopper with an empty hopper after the trolley arrives at the relay station (min);

[0050] The distance between the (i-1)th and i-th stations can be calculated as follows:

[0051]

[0052] in:

[0053] l i : The distance between the (i-1)th to i-th stations (m), the i-th station refers to the i-th relay station counted from the head position of the pipe jacking machine toward the starting well, i>1;

[0054] t i : The total time for the trolley to complete one earthwork transfer between the (i-1)th to i-th stations (min);

[0055] t c2 : The time (min) it takes for the trolley at the current station to replace the empty hopper with a full hopper after the trolley at the previous station arrives at the relay station;

[0056] Step S2. Prefabrication of relay station pipe segments;

[0057] The relay station pipe section is composed of more than one section of pipe. During the prefabrication of the relay pipe section, embedded parts for fixing the lift support platform should be embedded in advance.

[0058] Step S3. Jacking the relay station pipe section;

[0059] The relay station pipe segments should be jacked in accordance with the designed relay station spacing; from the moment the first relay station pipe segment is jacked in and put into use, the earthwork inside the pipe can be transported in a relay manner;

[0060] Step S4. Installing the lift support platform;

[0061] After the relay station pipe section is jacked in, the pre-buried embedded parts are used to fix the lift support platform to make it stable and firm.

[0062] Step S5. Install the lift;

[0063] After the lift support platform is installed, two lifts are installed on the lift support platform according to the size of the soil transport trolley. After the soil transport trolley enters the station, the two lifts are located in the middle of the front and rear soil transport trolleys respectively.

[0064] Step S6. Relay transport in the earthwork pipe

[0065] At the relay station, the positions of the full hopper and the empty hopper are replaced, and the soil-carrying trolley moves back and forth to transport the full hopper out of the pipe.

[0066] Preferably, step S6 further comprises:

[0067] Designate trolley a as a fully loaded soil-carrying trolley, and trolley b as an empty soil-carrying trolley. Trolley b is located at the relay station on the side of the pipe jacking machine in the area;

[0068] After trolley a transports the soil to the relay station, the hopper replacement is started to exchange the hoppers of trolley a and trolley b.

[0069] Preferably, after trolley a transports the soil to the relay station, it first confirms whether there is a trolley b waiting at the relay station. If there is no trolley b at the relay station, it is necessary to wait for trolley b to return to the relay station before replacing the hopper; if there is a trolley b waiting at the relay station, the hopper replacement is started directly.

[0070] Preferably, the hopper replacement method further comprises:

[0071] Step S601. The lift at the relay station simultaneously lifts the hoppers of cart a and cart b. The hopper of cart a is lifted to a height sufficient to separate it from the chassis of cart a, and the hopper of cart b is lifted to a height sufficient to allow the carts to pass under the hopper of cart b.

[0072] Step S602: The chassis of trolley a and trolley b move synchronously toward the head of the pipe jacking machine until the chassis of trolley b is directly below the hopper of trolley a.

[0073] Step S603. The lift that lifts the hopper of trolley a slowly descends, and the hopper of trolley a falls onto the chassis of trolley b;

[0074] Step S604: The chassis of trolley a and trolley b simultaneously move toward the starting shaft of the pipe jacking machine until the chassis of trolley a is directly below the hopper of trolley b.

[0075] Step S605. The lift that lifted the hopper of trolley b slowly descends, placing the hopper of trolley b on the chassis of trolley a, thus completing the hopper replacement of trolley a and trolley b.

[0076] Step S606: Trolley a moves toward the head of the pipe jacking machine, and trolley b continues to transport earth toward the starting well to the next relay station;

[0077] Step S607: At the subsequent relay station, steps S601 to S606 are repeated until the earthwork is transported out of the pipeline. Beneficial effects

[0078] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0079] (1) When the distance between pipes is long, multiple earth-moving trolleys can be used to transport earth on the same track. Compared with the traditional method in which only one trolley can transport earth on the same track in one cycle, the earth-moving efficiency is greatly improved.

[0080] (2) The time the pipe jacking machine waits for the soil transport vehicle is controlled within the transportation time of a fixed distance (i.e., the soil transport time from station 0 to station 1). This solves the problem of the traditional method where the waiting time for the soil transport vehicle increases with the increase of the pipe jacking distance. For long-distance pipe jacking, this can significantly improve the pipe jacking efficiency and save time and costs.

[0081] In a pipe jacking project, the jacking distance is 600m. Based on the total duration of a single jacking, the pipe jacking speed, the jacking and excavation speed, the earthwork volume of the full-load earthmoving trolley, the average speed of the earthmoving trolley in the pipe, and the time it takes for the trolleys to exchange hoppers at the relay stations, the distance between the relay stations is determined to be 100m. The improvement in pipe jacking efficiency achieved by the present invention can be estimated as follows:

[0082] For the first 100m of pipe jacking, the traditional method and the method of the present invention have the same efficiency;

[0083] For the pipe jacking in the range of 100m-600m, the traditional method gradually increases the trolley transportation distance from 100m to 600m each time the earth is unearthed. The average transportation distance can be estimated as 350m. If a total of n vehicles are required for earth transportation and the average speed of the trolley is v, the total waiting time of the head is 350×2n / v. If earth transportation is carried out according to the method of the present invention, the transportation distance of each trolley is set to 100m; after the first trolley completes the earth transportation relay and returns to the head position, the pipe jacking can continue to work, and the subsequent earth transportation process has nothing to do with the work of the pipe jacking machine head. The total waiting time of the head is 100×2n / v. Compared with the traditional method, the waiting time can be saved by more than 70%.

[0084] (3) The method of the present invention can be easily programmed into a process flow and can be fully automated through system development.

[0085] (4) The space inside the jacking pipe is small, making the single-track plus branch and double-track scheduling methods used in tunnel excavation and mucking out unsuitable. The equipment and tools used in the present invention are simple in structure, and the trolley does not need to be equipped with a folding system similar to the stacking frame in existing designs. It is low in cost and easy to process and install, which is conducive to on-site application.

[0086] (5) By applying the solution of the present invention, the earthwork transported by the locomotive trolley can be controlled within a fixed transport distance, so that the time the locomotive waits for the trolley is not affected by the distance of the jacking pipe. In terms of earthwork transport efficiency, when the distance of the jacking pipe is far, multiple trolleys can be linked and transported synchronously on the same track, which effectively solves the problem of increased transportation time and reduced construction efficiency caused by only one trolley transporting earthwork at a time on the same track as the distance of the jacking pipe increases.

[0087] (6) The size design of the trolley and the relay station in the present invention can be designed according to the diameter of the jacking pipe. It is recommended to apply the method of the present invention in the construction of jacking pipes with an inner diameter of 3m or more. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0093] This embodiment discloses a relay-type earthwork transporting method in an earth pressure balance type jacking pipe.

[0094] Step 1: Design of relay station spacing and soil transport vehicles

[0095] The relay station spacing is designed using the method of Example 2.

[0096] Step 2: Prefabrication of relay station pipe segments

[0097] The relay station pipe segment can be composed of a single segment or multiple segments, depending on the size of the earth-moving trolley. During the prefabrication of the relay pipe segment, in addition to meeting all the requirements for ordinary pipe segment prefabrication, embedded parts for fixing the lift support platform should also be pre-buried.

[0098] Step 3: Jacking the relay station pipe section

[0099] Relay station pipe segments should be jacked in accordance with the designed relay station spacing. Relay station segments composed of multiple segments should be jacked in the correct order. Pipe jacking is performed in the same manner as conventional pipe segments. From the moment the first relay station segment is jacked and commissioned, the earthwork within the pipe can be transported using a relay method.

[0100] Step 4: Install the lift support platform

[0101] The lift support platform should be a prefabricated structure that is easy to install and dismantle, such as a steel structure platform. After the relay station pipe section is jacked in, the lift support platform is fixed with pre-buried embedded parts to ensure that the lift support platform is stable and firm.

[0102] Step 5: Install the Lift

[0103] After the installation of the lift support platform is completed, two lifts are installed on the lift support platform according to the specific size of the soil-carrying trolley. After the soil-carrying trolley enters the station, the two lifts are located in the middle of the front and rear trolleys respectively.

[0104] Step 6: Relay transportation inside the earthwork pipe

[0105] From the moment the first relay station pipe section is installed and put into use, the earthwork in the pipe can be transported in a relay manner. To achieve relay transportation of earthwork, a soil transport trolley must be deployed between two adjacent stations until the starting well. The key to the relay earthwork transport method is to complete the position exchange of the full and empty hoppers at the relay stations. The specific method is as follows:

[0106] (1) An empty trolley (hereinafter referred to as trolley b) is located at the relay station with the smallest sequence number in its area (hereinafter referred to as the starting station) and waits for the fully loaded soil-carrying trolley in front of it.

[0107] (2) After a fully loaded trolley (hereinafter referred to as trolley a) transports the soil to the relay station, first confirm whether there is an empty trolley waiting at the relay station. If there is no trolley b at the relay station, it is necessary to wait for trolley b to return to the relay station before replacing the hopper. If there is trolley b at the relay station, the hopper replacement is started immediately.

[0108] (3) The steps for hopper replacement are:

[0109] ① Use the lift at the relay station to lift the hoppers of trolleys a and b at the same time. To ensure installation, the lifting height of trolley a should meet the separation requirements between the trolley and the chassis, and it does not need to be too high. The lifting height of trolley b should meet the requirements for the normal passage of the trolley with the hopper below;

[0110] ② The chassis of the two trolleys move synchronously toward the head of the pipe jacking machine until the chassis of trolley B is directly below the hopper of trolley A and stops;

[0111] ③ The lift that lifts up the hopper of trolley a slowly descends, and the hopper of trolley a falls onto the chassis of trolley b;

[0112] ④ The chassis of the two trolleys move simultaneously toward the starting well of the pipe jacking machine until the chassis of trolley a is directly below the hopper of trolley b;

[0113] ⑤ The lift that lifts up the hopper of trolley b slowly descends, and the hopper of trolley b falls onto the chassis of trolley a, thus completing the hopper replacement of trolley a and trolley b;

[0114] ⑥ Trolley a moves toward the next relay station (or the head of the pipe jacking machine), and trolley b continues to transport earthwork toward the starting well to the next relay station;

[0115] ⑦ Repeat steps ① to ⑥ until the earthwork is transported out of the pipeline. Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0116] The embodiments disclosed in the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example 1

[0117] The present embodiment discloses an earth pressure balance type pipe jacking earth transportation device, including a screw conveyor, a soil transport trolley and a temporary track. The screw conveyor is installed behind the pipe jacking cutter head, as shown in Figures 1 to 4.

The relay station is provided with a hopper exchange system. The hopper exchange system includes a lift 3. The lift 3 is installed on the lift base platform 4. The relay station is also provided with a control system and a hydraulic pump. The control system includes a variety of sensor devices and automatic control software, which can realize fully automatic control of the relay-type earth transportation.

[0118] The relay stations are sequentially arranged on both sides of the temporary track 6 between the pipe jacking machine and the pipeline outlet. The temporary track is laid in the pipeline 5. A soil transport trolley is provided between every two adjacent relay stations.

[0119] In this embodiment, two sets of lifts are arranged at each relay station.

[0120] Hopper 1 can be lifted using hoist 3 at the relay station. In actual construction, the hoist used to lift the fully loaded hopper can be replaced with two jacks placed on either side of the track. However, the hoist used to lift the empty hopper cannot be replaced with jacks. When the hopper is raised to its maximum height, a soil-carrying cart carrying the hopper can pass underneath normally.

[0121] As shown in FIG1 and FIG2, the chassis 2 of the soil transport vehicle adopts a groove design, and the bottom shape of the hopper 1 matches the groove.

[0122] A horizontal steel plate is provided on the top of the wall panel of the soil transport trolley hopper 1. The width of the steel plate should meet the needs of lifting the hopper by a lift or jack. The horizontal steel plate and the wall panel are reinforced to form a stable structure. Example 2

[0123] This embodiment discloses the layout positions of the relay stations in the first embodiment.

[0124] Among the relay stations set up in sequence, the distance l1 between the first station closest to the pipe jacking machine head and the unearthed position of the pipe jacking machine head is calculated as follows:

[0130] l f : deceleration distance of soil transport vehicle (m);

[0131] l1: distance between stations 0 and 1 (m), station 0 refers to the position where the head of the pipe jacking machine is unearthed, and station 1 refers to the relay station closest to the head of the pipe jacking machine;

[0133] v: the average speed of the soil-carrying trolley in the pipe (m / min);

[0134] v f : Average speed of the soil transport vehicle during deceleration (m / min);

[0135] t0: Single vehicle earthwork loading time (min);

[0136] t1: The total time (min) for the soil transport vehicle to complete one soil loading and unloading operation between stations 0 and 1;

[0137] t c1 : The time (min) it takes to replace a full hopper with an empty hopper after the soil transport vehicle arrives at the relay station.

[0138] In the relay station, the distance between the second and subsequent relay stations is calculated as follows:

[0139]

[0140] Where:

[0141] l i: The distance between the (i-1)th ~ i-th station (m), the i-th station refers to the i-th relay station counted from the head position of the pipe jacking machine toward the starting well;

[0142] t i : The total time for the trolley to complete one earthwork transfer between the (i-1)th to i-th stations (min);

[0143] t c2 : The time (min) it takes for the trolley at this station to replace the empty hopper with a full hopper after the trolley at the previous station arrives at the relay station.

[0144] The above parameters can be determined based on the design of the soil-moving trolley and its control system. In actual application, the design of the relay station spacing should be determined based on the following parameters: the total duration of a single jacking operation, the pipeline jacking speed, the jacking and excavation speed, the full load volume of the soil-moving trolley, the average speed of the trolley in the pipeline, and the time it takes for the trolley to exchange hoppers at the relay station.
