Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an intermediate sleeve tube for a propulsion method. 2. Description of the Related Art A propulsion method is known as one of the methods for laying a pipeline in the ground. In this method, as shown in FIG. 2, the starting pit 1 is cut from the surface of the ground, and a main pushing jack 2 is arranged therein. If it is propelled underground, the next propulsion pipe 3 is added in the starting pit 1 and propelled similarly, and this operation is repeated in order. Reference numeral 4 denotes a leading conduit. [0003] In this propulsion method, when a large number of propulsion pipes 3 are joined and propelled, the frictional resistance C between the outer circumference of the pipes and the soil is increased.
May exceed the strength of the propulsion pipe 3, which is not preferable.
Therefore, as a countermeasure in that case, an intermediate sleeve method has been conventionally known. In this intermediate sleeve construction method, as shown in FIG. 2, an intermediate sleeve pipe 5 having a telescopic structure provided with an intermediate jack is provided between the propulsion pipes 3 in the propulsion section.
Is arranged, and the pipe 3 is propelled by the combination of the original pushing and the middle pushing. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, when the frictional resistance C between the outer periphery of the pipe 3 and the soil is lower than the strength of the pipe 3, the intermediate sleeve pipe 5 is contracted in a state where the intermediate sleeve pipe 5 is contracted. Is not operated, and propulsion is performed only by the propulsive force A of the main push jack 2. As shown in FIG. 3, when the frictional resistance C between the pipe 3 and the soil approaches the strength of the pipe 3, the original pushing jack 2 is not operated, and the intermediate sleeve is driven by the propulsion B of the intermediate jack of the intermediate sleeve pipe 5. The tube 5 is extended so that only the tube 3 ahead of the intermediate sleeve tube 5 is propelled. Then, when the stroke of the intermediate jack becomes full, as shown in FIG. 4, the pipe 3 on the rear side of the intermediate sleeve pipe 5 is propelled by the propulsive force A of the main pushing jack 2 to recover the stroke of the intermediate jack. FIG. 5 shows a detailed structure of the intermediate sleeve tube 5. As shown, the intermediate sleeve tube 5 is connected to the receiving tube 7.
And an insertion tube 8 movably inserted in the axial direction inside the reception tube 7. An intermediate jack 10 that extends and contracts in the axial direction of the pipe is provided between the distal end of the insertion pipe 8 and the rear end projection 9 of the receiving pipe 7. A plurality of the intermediate jacks 10 are provided in the circumferential direction of the pipe, and the expansion and contraction causes the receiving pipe 7 and the insertion pipe 8 to relatively move in the axial direction, thereby expanding and contracting the intermediate sleeve pipe 5. The aforementioned propulsive force B is generated. [0006] A tubular sediment inflow prevention plate 12 that covers the outer periphery of the distal end portion of the receiving tube 7 is attached to the inlet tube 8. When the insertion tube 8 and the receiving tube 7 move relatively in the axial direction and the intermediate sleeve tube 5 expands and contracts, the surrounding soil flows between the receiving hole and the receiving hole. This is to prevent the user from doing so. In order to reliably prevent the inflow of earth and sand, an annular seal member 13 is disposed between the inner periphery of the earth and sand inflow prevention plate 12 and the outer periphery of the receiving pipe 7. This sealing material 13
Backup rings 14 and 15 are provided on both sides of the. Then, screw out the bolt 17 from the press wheel 16 to seal
It is configured such that a predetermined sealing function is obtained by compressing 13. [0007] The receiving pipe 7 on the distal end side of the rear end projection 9
A tapered sealing material pressing surface 18 is formed on the inner circumference of the receiving tube 7. The receiving pipe 7 is located at a position deeper than the sealing material pressing surface 18.
A protrusion 19 is formed on the inner surface of the. When the propulsion work is completed, the receiving pipe 7 and the insertion pipe 8 are joined in the pipe. In this case, the intermediate jack 10 is extended again, and the distal end of the insertion tube 8 is
The receiving pipe 7 and the insertion pipe 8 are relatively moved in the axial direction so as to be positioned corresponding to the sealing material pressing surface 18. Then, the intermediate jack 10 is removed, and as shown in FIG. 6, an annular sealing material 20 is disposed between the sealing material pressing surface 18 and the outer peripheral surface of the insertion tube 8. Apply push ring 22. Then, the middle wheel 23 is engaged with the projection 19, and the sealing material is formed by the reaction force when the middle wheel 23 is pushed through the connecting rod 25 by the bolt 24 screwed out from the pressing wheel 22.
Applying a compressive force to 20, to obtain a predetermined sealing function. FIG. 6 also shows a joint 28 between the receiving pipe 7 and the insertion port 27 of the propulsion pipe 3 joined to the receiving pipe 7. The insertion port 29 at the end of the insertion tube 8 is
Utilizing the same joint structure as described above, it is joined to the socket of another propulsion pipe connected to this insertion pipe 8. However, in such a configuration, the intermediate jack 10 is extended after completion of the propulsion work as described above, so that the receiving pipe 7 and the insertion pipe 8 are axially aligned. However, even when the intermediate jack 10 is loosened and removed afterwards, the insertion tube 8 may enter the back side of the receiving tube 7 again. However, there is a problem that it may be difficult to secure the dimensions. Therefore, the present invention solves such a problem, and enables a sealing material to be appropriately installed even if the insertion tube enters the reception tube when the intermediate jack is removed. The purpose is to: In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides an annular sealing member disposed between the outer periphery of the distal end of the insertion tube and the inner periphery of the receiving tube, A pressing ring capable of compressing the material, a bolt screwed out of the pressing ring, and a middle ring provided inside the receiving pipe so as to be engaged with the bolt,
A protrusion formed on the inner periphery of the back of the receiving tube, and a turn disposed between the protrusion and the middle wheel to move and fix the middle wheel to an arbitrary position in the pipe axis direction. And a buckle. In such a configuration, when the propulsion work is completed, the intermediate jack is extended again so that the insertion pipe and the reception pipe are arranged so as to be suitable for the installation of the sealing material. After the tube is relatively moved in the axial direction, the intermediate jack is removed. At this time, if the insertion tube reenters the back side of the reception tube, the turnbuckle is operated accordingly to adjust the position of the middle ring along the tube axis direction. Then, by the threading of the bolts related to the middle wheel, the sealing material is appropriately compressed via the pressing wheel. An embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to FIG. 1. The same members as those shown in FIGS. 2 to 6 described above are denoted by the same reference numerals. , Will be described in detail. As shown in the drawing, a plurality of studs 31 extending in the axial direction of the tube extending toward the seal material pressing surface 18 are provided at the rear end protruding portion 9 of the receiving tube 7 at intervals in the circumferential direction. It is stuck and fixed. At the tip of each stud 31
One end of the turnbuckle 32 in the tube axis direction is screwed, and the other end of each of the plurality of turnbuckles 32 is screwed with another bolt 33 in the tube axis direction in the circumferential direction. The tip of each bolt 33 is fixed to the side surface of the middle wheel 23 by welding. 34 is the weld. In such a configuration, the intermediate jack is removed after completion of the propulsion work.
When the middle wheel 23 has entered the back side of the receiving tube 7 again, the turn ring 32 is operated to move the middle wheel 23 in the tube axis direction, and the middle wheel 23 is moved to a position corresponding to the insertion amount of the insertion tube 8. Fix it. An annular sealing material is provided between the sealing material pressing surface 18 and the outer peripheral surface of the insertion tube 8 in the same manner as shown in FIG.
20 and the split ring 21 and the pressing ring 22
The compression force is applied to the sealing material by a reaction force when the middle ring 23 is pushed via the connecting rod 25 by the bolt 24 screwed out of the sealing member 25 to obtain a predetermined sealing function. At this time, since the middle wheel 23 can be arranged at a position corresponding to the insertion amount of the insertion tube 8, the other split wheel 21, the pressing wheel 22, the bolt 24, the connecting rod 25, and the like can also be appropriately arranged, and The insertion tube 8 can be securely joined. As described above, according to the present invention, the middle wheel can be moved and fixed in the axial direction of the tube by the turnbuckle, so that the back side of the receiving tube after the removal of the intermediate jack is removed. The middle ring can be placed at the optimal position according to the degree of entry of the insertion tube into the inlet tube, and always always appropriately between the receiving tube and the insertion tube regardless of the degree of entry of the insertion tube Can be sealed.
