Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a substantially flexible injection device with a packer.

In the chemical injection method, which is used as an auxiliary construction method for main construction, in recent years, as the underground structures targeted for main construction have become larger, the depth of chemical injection has inevitably become deeper, and it has become difficult to perform construction in narrow spaces such as inside shafts. There are also more and more.

By the way, injection pipes are usually made of steel pipes or plastic pipes with a predetermined unit length, for example, 2 m, but the work of attaching and removing them actually requires a great deal of effort, especially when steel pipes are used. The burden on staff is extremely heavy in terms of weight. As mentioned above, in a narrow shaft, particularly in the case of horizontal or oblique injection, the length of the unit injection pipe may have to be made shorter than usual.

On the other hand, as mentioned above, one of the major problems in long-depth construction is hole bending. If the hole is bent, when inserting the injection pipe into the inside of the hole, whether it is a raw hole or a casing pipe, the injection pipe itself is made of a rigid body, so even with the hydraulic pressure of the injection pipe installation machine, it will not be possible to maintain the specified length. It is often difficult to insert and install the injection tube. Even if it is forcibly inserted, the threaded portion or structure may be damaged.

The present invention was proposed to address the above-mentioned conventional problems, and its purpose is to make it extremely easy to insert and remove the injection pipe, even if the hole is bent, and to make it possible to easily insert and remove the grout. An object of the present invention is to provide an injection device that can reliably prevent outflow to the base (ground) side.

The present invention achieves this objective by attaching an inner hose and an outer hose made of fiber-reinforced rubber to the tip of a long flexible double-channel pipe in which the inner hose and the outer hose are arranged concentrically with a gap between each other. A tip device is provided, which includes upper and lower packer parts having packers that expand and restore their shape, and a grout discharge port formed between the packers of the upper and lower packer parts, and each of the upper and lower packers is attached to a non-flexible adherend. A sleeve-like flexible packer is fixed at both ends,
These upper and lower packer parts are connected by a flexible connecting pipe, and a coil spring is wound around this flexible connecting pipe to create two flows within the inner hose and the gap between this and the outer hose in the double flow path pipe. One of the passages is used as a passage for a working fluid of fluid pressure to be applied to each pack car, and the other passage is used as a grout feeding passage communicating with a grout discharge port. be.

The present invention is based on the following findings. First, as mentioned above, in view of the fact that the conventional method requires a great deal of effort to attach and remove the injection pipe, we have decided to use a flexible injection pipe, with the aim of performing construction with a single pipe as much as possible. This is what I did. If the injection tube is flexible, it is possible to wind up the long injection tube onto a reel in advance, for example, and then sequentially unroll it from there when inserting the injection tube. Second, by using a flexible injection tube, even if the hole bends, the injection tube will flex, so it can be inserted smoothly while following the hole bend. Thirdly, it is effective to use a packer as a means to reliably inject grout into that position at a certain step while preventing the grout from flowing out to the base side. Although it has been conventional practice to use molded rubber that takes advantage of flexure, in order to fully perform the function of the clasp, the clasp must adhere as closely as possible to the inner surface of the outer tube and be highly hard. In view of the fact that the frictional force between the packer and the inner surface of the outer tube is large, and insertion is often difficult, and is nearly impossible, especially at the curved part of the hole, in accordance with the present invention, the packer is inflated and inflated by fluid pressure. When a restoring packer is used, the packer is in a restoring (non-expanding) state when no fluid pressure is applied, so clearance with the inner surface of the outer tube is ensured, allowing smooth insertion and withdrawal. Fourthly, while inserting the injection inner tube according to the present invention into the outer tube,
When grout is injected into the surrounding ground through the injection hole formed in the outer tube, the packer comes into contact with the smooth inner surface of the outer tube, so it can fully function as a packer. For example, a known method is to supply air directly to a grouter through an air hose installed parallel to the injection pipe to cause the grout to bulge, and then inject grout while the grouter is pressed directly against the borehole wall. However, if the borehole wall is disordered, the Packer effect is not sufficient. In this regard, in the specific application of the device of the present invention, instead of directly inserting it into the borehole wall, the injection device is inserted into a pre-installed outer tube, and injection is performed from the injection port of the outer tube. Then, the packer effect is fully exerted, the grout does not flow out to the tip and base side, and it becomes possible to inject only from the injection port. Fifth, although it is possible to use a single injection pipe and feed grout there, and to inject the grout and have the grout act on the inner surface of the packer to bulge the packer due to the grout pressure, it is possible to If the pressure and the expansion pressure of the packer are the same or the latter is smaller than the former, the packer may not work properly. Therefore, the injection pipe is designed as a dual-channel pipe, and one flow path is used as the working fluid path to the packer. , if the other channel is a grout channel,
If the swelling pressure of the packer is higher than the grout pouring pressure, the packer will fully exert its effect. Sixth, as mentioned in Section 5, in order to distinguish between the packer flow path and the grout flow path and to hold the packer, the structure of the tip device must be complicated, and this complicated structure is not possible. In order to do so, it must be made of metal. However, if the tip device is made entirely of metal and is long, insertion is difficult if the hole is bent. Therefore, if the upper part and the lower part are connected by a flexible connecting pipe and a spring is wound around the connecting pipe, insertion and removal can be easily performed even if the hole is bent. . Also, when injecting grout,
There are times when it is desired to inject grout at once from two or more injection holes 61, 61 of the outer tube 60, which will be described later. In this case, the length between the upper and lower packer parts becomes longer, and it is also assumed that if the tip device is made entirely of metal, it will not be able to cope with the bending of the hole.

The present invention will be specifically explained below with reference to the drawings.

First, the injection device will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4, and then the construction method will be explained with reference to FIGS. 5 to 8.

This injection device consists of a joint A in Figure 1, a flexible inner injection tube B in Figure 2, and a third tube for connecting the inner tubes B to each other.
The basic elements are the intermediate adapter C shown in the figure and the tip device D shown in FIG. 4. In addition, in order to secure two flow paths: a grout path and a waterway for expansion of the pack car, each element A,
B, C, and D basically have a concentric double tube structure.

The joint A has a water supply port 2 formed in the inner pipe 1 and a liquid supply port 4 formed in the outer pipe 3, which is an elbow pipe, and has hoses (not shown) for guiding water W and grout G from the pump, respectively. is connected.

The injection inner tube B has an inner hose 8 made of fiber reinforced rubber, for example, whose end is fixed by a nipple 6 and a cap 7 that are continuous with the inner pipe 5 on the inside, and a nipple 9 and a cap on the outside. It has an outer hose 11 made of the same material whose end is fixed by a hose 10, and is further provided with a union 12 for connection that engages with the nipple 9. 13
is a mark indicating one step length, for example, is placed every 33 cm. The inner injection pipe B has a total length of, for example, 20 to 30 m, and is connected to the union 12 by connecting an intermediate adapter C having an inner adapter 14 and an outer adapter 15, as shown in FIG. 3, as necessary. Therefore, the entire injection inner tube B is substantially flexible since its main parts are composed of the flexible inner hose 8 and outer hose 11.

The tip device D is attached to the tip of the injection inner tube B. This tip device includes an upper packer part 20, a lower packer part 21 which cannot be bent, and a connecting part 22 which can be bent. Upper pack car part 2
0 has a double pipe structure including an inner pipe 23 communicating with the inner hose 8 and an outer pipe 24 communicating with the outer hose 11. Outside the outer pipe 24, an adherend is attached at both ends of the outer pipe 24. Nipples 25A, 25B and caps 26A, 2 that constitute
A sleeve-shaped upper packer 27 made of fiber-reinforced rubber or the like is fixed by 6B. On the other hand, the lower packer part 21 has only a single pipe 28,
On the outside thereof, like the upper packer part 20, there is a single pipe 28.
Nipples 29A and 29B which together constitute an adherend
A lower packer 31 fixed by caps 30A and 30B is also provided.

Furthermore, fixed nipples 32 and 33 are provided at both ends of the upper packer section 20, and fixed nipples 34 and tip shoes 35 are also provided at both ends of the lower packer section 21. 36 is a flexible connecting pipe made of fiber-reinforced rubber, etc., and one end thereof has a fixed nipple 33.
The other end is fixed by a fixed nipple 34 and a cap 37, respectively, and the inner tube 23 and the single tube 28 are communicated with each other. A tight pushing force transmission spring 3 is attached to the outer periphery of the connecting pipe 36.
9 is wound.

On the other hand, in the upper packer portion 20, the inner tube 23
The outer tube 24 is broken in the radial direction from the top to the connecting short tube 40.
is provided and faces the inner surface of the upper packer 27, and in the lower packer portion 21, a communication port 41 is formed in the single tube 28 and communicates with the inside of the lower packer 31. As a result, when water pressure is applied to the inner pipe 23 from the ground, it passes through the short communication pipe 40 to the upper pumper 2.
When pressure is applied to 7, it expands along the imaginary line, and conversely returns to its original state when the pressure is released. At the same time, water pressure also acts on the lower packer 31 from the connecting pipe 36 and the single pipe 28 through the communication port 41.
It also swells.

On the other hand, when the grout G is pumped from the ground into the gap between the inner tube 23 and the outer tube 24, the grout G is discharged through a plurality of discharge ports 42 formed in the radial direction on the wall of the fixed nipple 33. .

In addition, in the advanced device D, the pack car 27, 3
1 and the connecting pipe 36, all other members are made of steel. However, O-rings are excluded.

Construction will be carried out as follows. First, as shown in FIG. 5, a hole is drilled using a drilling machine and a casing pipe 50 is installed. Next, as shown in FIG. 6, an outer pipe 60 is installed inside this casing pipe 50. An injection port 61 is formed in each step in the longitudinal direction of the outer tube 60, and an injection port 61 is formed at each step in the longitudinal direction.
1 has a structure in which a rubber sleeve 62 is covered. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 7, a functional sleeve grout SG is placed between the casing pipe 50 and the outer pipe 60 to prevent the grout to be injected later from escaping out of the predetermined area and to inject it evenly. Then, the casing pipe 50 is pulled out. Here, depending on the target ground, it is also possible to omit building the casing pipe 50.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 8, the inner injection tube B equipped with the tip device D is inserted into the outer tube 60. During this insertion, no pressure is applied to the packers 27, 31, so that they are in their restored (contracted) state. As a result, as shown in FIG. 4, since there is a clearance between the outer tube 60 and the distal end device D as well as the inner injection tube B, insertion to a predetermined depth is easily possible. If necessary, mechanical power (hydraulic pressure) from an extractor (or injection pipe installation machine) used in this type of field may be used instead of manual power. Furthermore, the pushing force upon insertion acts through the injection inner tube B to the tip, but if the hole is bent, if the pushing force transmitting spring 39
If this is not provided, the connecting pipe 36 may easily bend, especially since it is a single pipe rather than a double pipe like the injection inner pipe B, and the pushing force may not be applied. . Therefore, if a spring 39 is provided, the bending of the hole can be followed, and the pushing force can be transmitted through the spring 39. Further, the tip device is made to have a length of, for example, about 530 mm, but if the entire tip is made of steel, it may not be possible to cope with the bending of the hole, so it is desirable to use the flexible connecting pipe 36 and the spring 39 together.

Once the tip device D is inserted to a predetermined position, from the viewpoint of fluid tightness, it should be filled with liquid such as water W instead of gas.
is fed from the ground to inflate the upper and lower packers 27, 31 and bring them into close contact with the inner surface of the outer tube 60. After that, the grout G is fed and discharged from the discharge port 42. The discharged grout G is transferred to the upper and lower packers 2.
7, 31 prevents vertical flow, the pressure causes the rubber sleeve 6 to flow from the injection port 61.
2 is expanded, and the sleeve grout SG is then split and injected into the surrounding ground. Here, the police car 2
It is desirable that the contact pressure of grout G in the outer tube 60 is higher than the filling pressure of the grout G in the outer tube 60. If it is too low, there is a risk that it will flow out from between the packers 27, 31 and the inner surface of the outer tube 60.

When the injection at a certain step is completed, the pressure on the packers 27 and 31 is released or reduced, and then the tip device D is pulled up or pushed in through the injection inner tube B to move to the next step and then proceed to the next step. In the step, the liquid is discharged from the discharge port 42. The discharged grout G is sent to the upper and lower packers 27, 31.
Since the vertical flow is prevented by the pressure, the rubber sleeve 62 is expanded from the injection port 61, and the sleeve grout SG is split and injected into the surrounding ground. Here, the contact pressure of the packers 27 and 31 into the outer tube 60 is
It is desirable to keep the pressure higher than the filling pressure within 0.
If it is too low, there is a risk that it will flow out from between the packers 27, 31 and the inner surface of the outer tube 60.

When the injection at a certain step is completed, the pressure on the packers 27 and 31 is released or reduced, and then the tip device D is pulled up or pushed in through the injection inner tube B to move to the next step and then proceed to the next step. In the step, the injection operation is performed in the same manner as described above.

In the above example, the seal grout SG suppresses escape of the grout injected from the injection port 61,
This is to ensure that the grout is injected into the target zone, but it may not be necessary in some cases. The rubber sleeve 62 also prevents the backflow of grout through the injection port 61 and allows repeated injections, but it can be omitted if the grout is simply pulled up and poured in each step. Furthermore, the outer tube 60 is usually a plastic tube, but it may also be a steel tube, and if it is made of steel, it can also be used as a drilling rod by providing a bit at its tip. It is also possible to install using hydraulic pressure.

Also, from the viewpoint of injection reliability, it is desirable to install packers above and below the discharge port and discharge only from the corresponding injection port of the outer tube, but in the case of a series of pull-up injections, the lower packer may be omitted. You can also do that.

On the other hand, in the present invention, since the (injection) inner tube is substantially made of a flexible material, it is easily deformed. Therefore, FIGS. 9 and 10
The mode shown in the figure can be adopted, which is extremely convenient. That is, if the injection inner tube B equipped with the tip device D is installed in advance on the cart 100 or the reel 101 is
The inner injection tube B is then fed out and inserted into the outer tube 60, and when the inner injection tube B is pulled up, it is pulled up by the rotation of the extractor 102 and/or the reel 101. can be wound on the reel 101. The reel 101 is wound up via a chain 104 by a motor 103.
Reference numeral 105 denotes a position detector for detecting the insertion depth of the injection inner tube B, and is configured to detect, for example, the number of rotations of a built-in roller. In addition to visually determining the insertion depth, the mark on the injection tube B described above can be read by an optical method or the like and used as a marker for detecting the insertion depth.

As described above, since the present invention provides packers above and below the discharge port of the tip device, it is possible to reliably prevent grout from flowing upward and downward. The base of the tip device uses a flexible injection tube, which is completely different from conventional metal unit injection tubes that are connected by adding them, and because the injection tube can be long, it is easy to attach and detach. This saves you time and effort, and allows you to work smoothly in narrow shafts. In addition, the injection pipe is a double flow path pipe, and the flow path is divided into the packer working fluid path and the grout feeding path, so the expansion pressure of the packer can be made higher than the grout pouring pressure, and the packker effect is fully achieved. can be demonstrated.

In addition, since the upper and lower packer parts are connected by a flexible connecting pipe and the spring is wound around them, there is an advantage that even if the hole is bent, the injection device can be inserted and removed reliably.
