した。2. Description of the Related Art As a method of burying pipes in the ground, a method called pipe propulsion method has been conventionally known. In this pipe propulsion method, buried pipes formed of fume pipes and the like are sequentially connected to the back of a leading conductor provided with a cutter head in front, and these buried pipes are propelled forward by a main pushing device installed in the starting shaft. In general, a method of excavating the ground with a cutter head, excavating the ground with a leading conductor, and sequentially pushing each buried pipe into the ground to bury the ground is used. The pipe propulsion device is a device configured with a leading conductor and a main pushing device in order to perform such a pipe propulsion method. In this type of pipe propulsion machine generally used in the past, when propelling a buried pipe and burying it, it is necessary to penetrate the buried pipe while compacting the front ground.
Since a large penetration resistance acts on a buried pipe, the applicant has previously developed a pipe propulsion device capable of reducing the penetration resistance.

機に多用されて、これまで好結果を収めている。In the pipe propulsion device developed by the present applicant, when excavating the ground with a leading conductor, a viscosity imparting liquid such as a sludge material is poured into excavated earth and sand excavated with a cutter head, and the mixture is agitated and mixed. Generates mud with potential. Then, the mud generated in this way is passed through a mud passage on the outer periphery of the leading conductor,
A part of it is taken into the inside of the front conductor through the sediment intake port provided on the rear side of the front conductor, and is pumped to the ground by earth discharging means such as a sediment pressure pump, and the remaining mud is buried in the buried pipe behind the front conductor. It is guided to the outer peripheral side. In this pipe propulsion device, since the plastic fluid mud is guided to the outer peripheral side of the buried pipe, the frictional resistance between the outer peripheral surface of the buried pipe and the surrounding ground during pipe propulsion is reduced to allow the penetration of the buried pipe. Resistance can be reduced, and long-distance span buried pipes can be propelled with relatively low propulsion. Such pipe propulsion machines have been used frequently for small-diameter pipe propulsion machines in which small-diameter pipes that cannot be inserted by human beings are buried underground, and have been successful.

ことができる。Next, the operation of the above-described conventional pipe propulsion device will be described. Now, when the cutter head 2 is rotationally driven while the buried pipe 10 is being propelled by the main pushing device 20, the cutter head 2 excavates a face and excavates an excavation hole. In the process of digging the excavation hole, the viscosity-imparting liquid a is supplied to the injection port 3a of the cutter head 2 through the viscosity-imparting liquid supply pipe 3, and injected into the excavated earth and sand from the injection port 3a in the radial direction. . Then, the viscosity imparting liquid a and the excavated earth and sand are agitated and mixed by the cutter head 2 to generate mud b having plastic fluidity. The mud b is pressed into the annular mud passage 4 and filled therein. The part is taken into the earth and sand pump 6 from the earth and sand intake port 5 and is pumped to the ground through the earth discharging pipe 9, and the remainder passes through the annular mud passage 4 between the buried pipe 10 and the excavation hole. As a result, the penetration resistance is reduced by the plastic fluidity of the mud b passing through the mud passage 4 around the outer periphery of the leading conductor 1 and the buried pipe 10, so that even if the propulsion distance of the buried pipe 10 becomes longer, It can be pushed in smoothly.

During this time, the laser beam 16 emitted from the laser transmitter 15 is received by the light receiving device 14 to detect the light receiving position and the excavation distance of the leading conductor 1 so that the coordinates of the excavating point of the leading conductor 1 are obtained. The position is obtained sequentially by calculation.

別のタイプのものである。By the way, in the pipe propulsion machine, as described above, excavated earth and sand is muddy and taken into the interior of the leading conductor 1 from the earth and sand intake port 5 and then to the starting shaft 30 through the earth discharging pipe 9 in the buried pipe 10. Excavate. When the excavated soil is clogged in the earth and sand discharge path such as the muddy passage 4, the sediment intake port 5, and the discharge pipe 9 when the pipe propulsion method is carried out, the pipe propulsion method has to be interrupted. Precautions have been taken to prevent excavated earth and sand from clogging its discharge path, as disclosed in, for example, JP-A-10-77785.
The pipe propulsion technology described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Publication No. H10-209,086 can be cited. The pipe propulsion device described in this publication generates mud by mixing water with excavated earth and sand, but guides the mud to the outer peripheral side of the buried pipe to reduce the penetration resistance of the buried pipe. However, the method of discharging excavated earth and sand is also different, and is of a different type from the pipe propulsion device developed by the applicant.

止できるとされている。In this pipe propulsion machine, a screw conveyor having a cutter head fixed to the front end is provided at the center of the leading conductor, an earth and sand intake opening and a chamber are formed in the cutter head, and water is supplied to the face. The cutter head is provided with a hole and a water supply hole for supplying water to a chamber adjacent to the sediment intake opening. Then, while excavating the face with the cutter head, the excavated soil is muddy by supplying water to the face from the water supply hole, and the excavation is performed by supplying water from the water supply hole into a chamber adjacent to the sediment intake opening. The soil is muddy and taken into the chamber through a soil intake opening, and the excavated soil in the chamber is conveyed backward by a screw conveyor to discharge the earth. In the pipe propulsion technology described in this publication, in particular, since water is supplied from a water supply hole into a chamber adjacent to the sediment intake opening to promote muddy soil, excavated sediment easily passes through the sediment intake opening. It is said that the blockage of the sediment intake opening due to excavated sediment can be reliably prevented.

Is difficult to reliably prevent. Hereinafter, this point will be described.

いる。[0015] In the pipe propulsion method, if the construction span is short, the ground with uniform soil can be constructed. However, if the construction span becomes long, the ground with uniform soil like short span can be constructed. In the process of constructing in one construction span, the ground with a high gravel rate (high mixing ratio of gravel), which has been shunned in the past as difficult to remove soil, has a high solidification (viscosity) There are many opportunities to construct a plurality of types of grounds with significantly different soil properties such as ground, which tends to adhere easily. The cutter head of the tip conductor mixes the excavated earth and sand with the viscosity-imparting liquid to generate mud, so it is necessary to select not only the excavation performance but also the stirring performance in consideration of the optimum one for the soil quality. When the soil quality of the ground to be constructed changes remarkably as described above, it is difficult to select a cutter head having the optimum stirring performance for the soil quality, and it is difficult to always generate mud which is easily discharged. Also,
The blockage of the sediment discharge route due to mud gradually progresses at the worst part of the mud flow, but in the case of long-distance span construction, such blockage of the sediment discharge route is likely to occur because the construction time is long. On the other hand, when the soil is difficult to discharge as described above, blockage of the earth and sand discharge path is more likely to occur. For this reason, in the construction of a long distance span, it is not possible to reliably prevent the sediment discharge path from being blocked by the above-described preventive measures for preventing blockage, and it is important to take measures when the sediment discharge path is blocked by mud. Has become a problem.

長尺のホース17で洗浄する方法が採られていた。If the earth and sand discharge path is blocked as described above, the earth cannot be discharged and the pipe propulsion method cannot be carried out. Therefore, the earth and sand discharge path such as the earth discharging pipe is cleaned and restored. The method of cleaning the earth and sand discharge path, which has been conventionally performed by the applicant, will be described with reference to FIG. In the buried pipe 10 where the discharge pipe 9 is laid,
Since the work is difficult to cut off the connected discharge pipes 9 in the buried pipe 10 because the work is not so narrow and the worker cannot enter, the separation work of the discharge pipes 9 is performed in the starting shaft 30. In FIG. 3, after the connection between the discharge pipe 9 on the starting shaft 30 side and the main discharge pipe 9 a is released, the main push jack 21 is contracted and the push table 23 is retracted, so that the main discharge pipe 9 a is retracted. An example is shown in which the discharging pipe 9 on the starting shaft 30 side is separated from the main discharging pipe 9a. When the discharge pipe 9 on the starting shaft 30 side is cut off and its end 9b is opened in this way, a long cleaning hose 17 is opened from the opened end 9b of the discharge pipe 9.
And the washing liquid d is injected by the hose 17 to wash and remove the closed mud c in the discharge pipe 9. in this way,
Conventionally, a method has been adopted in which the closed mud c in the discharge pipe 9 is washed from the start shaft 30 side with a long hose 17.

かかることとなる。However, in such a conventional technique, the end 9 of the discharge pipe 9 on the starting shaft 30 side is not provided.
Since the cleaning liquid d is injected by inserting the cleaning hose 17 from b, the closed mud c can be cleaned only within a range where the cleaning liquid d injected from the hose 17 reaches. Therefore, even if the closed mud c clogged in the discharge pipe 9 near the starting shaft 30 can be cleaned,
When the clogging mud c is generated in the earth and sand discharge path on the side of the leading conductor 1 in a state where the excavation of the leading conductor 1 has progressed, it becomes difficult to clean the clogged mud c. In particular, the vicinity of the sediment intake port 5 of the leading conductor 1 and the vicinity of the entrance of the discharge pipe 9 are locations where the mud b is likely to be clogged. In this case, the clogged soil c cannot be removed, so that it becomes impossible to discharge the soil and the pipe propulsion method cannot be performed. Therefore, in some cases, it is necessary to give up the propulsion of the pipe propulsion machine and to restart the propulsion of the pipe propulsion machine after collecting the leading conductor 1, the buried pipe 10, the discharging pipe 9, and the like. In such a case, not only is it costly and time-consuming, but also during that time, it is necessary to consider the prevention of land subsidence to prevent the surface from sinking, which places a great burden on the pipe propulsion construction builder It becomes.

けてもよい。Therefore, the characteristic technical contents of the tube propulsion device of FIG. 1 will be described. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 11 denotes a cleaning branch pipe branched from the viscosity-imparting liquid supply pipe 3, and reference numeral 12 selectively switches a flow path so that the viscosity-imparting liquid supply pipe 3 communicates with the cleaning branch pipe 11. And d is a cleaning liquid such as a viscosity-imparting liquid or water for removing the clogged soil c. The branch pipe 11 for cleaning functions to inject the cleaning liquid d into a portion where mud is likely to be blocked. In the example shown here, about two such branch pipes 11 are branched from the viscosity-imparting liquid supply pipe 3. . One of the inlets is positioned so that the cleaning liquid d can be injected near the sediment intake port 5, and the other one is positioned so that the cleaning liquid d can be injected near the inlet of the discharge pipe 9. ing. The vicinity of the sediment intake port 5 and the vicinity of the entrance of the discharge pipe 9 are the places where mud is usually most likely to be clogged in this type of pipe propulsion machine, but the branch pipe 11 for washing is not limited to such a location. In view of the structural characteristics of the pipe propulsion device, it can be provided so that the washing liquid d can be injected into any location where mud is likely to be blocked. One such branch pipe 11 may be provided depending on the structure of the pipe propulsion device.

ばよい。The cleaning branch pipe 11 is preferably provided with a nozzle particularly at the injection port so as to increase the flow rate when the cleaning liquid d is injected from the injection port and to perform more effective cleaning of the closed mud c. . In the example shown here, the switching valve 12 changes the viscosity-imparting liquid supply pipe 3 to the cleaning branch pipe 11 by the switching operation.
When the flow path is switched so as to communicate with the
Is supplied only to the two branch pipes 11. However, when the flow path is switched by the switching operation, the switching valve 12 supplies the cleaning liquid d to the two branch pipes 1.
Alternatively, the feed may be supplied to the inlet 3a side of the cutter head 2 so that the cutter head 2 can be fed to the mud passage 4 from the front of the leading conductor 1. The switching valve 12 allows the switching operation to be performed from the starting shaft 30 side by remote control.
In the example shown here, one switching valve 12 allows the viscosity-imparting liquid supply pipe 3 to communicate with the two branch pipes 11 for cleaning, but the switching valve 12 is provided in each branch pipe 11. The cleaning liquid d may be individually supplied to each branch pipe 11. Further, in place of the switching valve 12, on-off valves may be provided on the side of the inlet 3a of the viscosity-imparting liquid supply pipe 3 and on each of the branch pipes 11, respectively. What is necessary is just to provide a flow path switching means capable of selectively switching the flow path so as to communicate with the pipe 11.

合には粘性付与液を用いてその排出を容易にする。In the pipe propulsion device having such a structure, the mud b cannot be discharged, for example, the discharge of the mud b is remarkably reduced or interrupted in the process of using the pipe propulsion method. At this time, the viscosity-imparting liquid supply pipe 3 connected to the ground-level viscosity-imparting liquid storage tank is connected to the cleaning liquid storage tank, and the switching valve 12 is operated to switch the viscosity-imparting liquid supply pipe 3. The flow path is switched so as to communicate with the cleaning branch pipe 11, and a cleaning liquid d such as a viscosity-imparting liquid or water is supplied from the viscosity-imparting liquid supply pipe. In this case, in the example shown here, as shown in FIG. 1, the main discharge jack 9 a is retracted by the main push jack 21, so that the discharge pipe 9 on the starting shaft 30 side is separated from the main press discharge pipe 9 a. The end 9b of the discharging pipe 9 is opened. By opening the end 9b of the discharging pipe 9 in this way, the closed mud c washed out by the cleaning liquid d is removed from the end 9b of the discharging pipe 9.
Can be discharged into the starting shaft 30, and the closed mud c can be discharged more easily than when discharged to the ground through the main pushing discharge pipe 9a. The cleaning liquid d uses non-viscous water so that it does not adhere to the sediment discharge path when the blocking mud c is highly viscous earth and sand, and uses a viscosity-imparting liquid when the closing mud c is gravelly. To facilitate.

And near the inlet of the discharge pipe 9 to clean these places, and to close these places with the closed mud c.
If any has occurred, it can be washed out and removed. In this pipe propulsion device, since the area around the place where the mud b is easily clogged is mainly washed as described above, it is possible to effectively eliminate the inability to discharge when the discharge becomes impossible. Can be. Further, the cleaning work does not require the troublesome work of inserting a long cleaning hose 17 from the ground into the end 9b of the earth discharging pipe 9 on the starting shaft 30 side, which is conventionally performed, and does not require the switching valve 12. The operation can be performed very easily.

作業負担を軽減して合理的に行える。The inability to discharge the mud is often eliminated by performing such a washing operation. However, if the inability to discharge the mud is not eliminated by such an operation, it is relatively close to the starting shaft 30. Closed mud c in the discharge pipe 9
It is considered that the cleaning liquid d is injected from the end 9b of the earth discharging pipe 9 on the starting shaft 30 side, and the cleaning liquid d is injected through the pipe 17, as in the conventional method shown in FIG. The closed mud c in the discharge pipe 9 is washed and removed. The invention according to the pipe propulsion method of this application is to clean the pipe 1 for cleaning from the end 9b of the dump pipe 9 on the starting shaft 30 side when the inability to discharge mud is not eliminated by the above-mentioned cleaning work.
7 is inserted, and a cleaning liquid such as a viscosity-imparting liquid and water is injected through a pipe 17 so as to reliably prevent the mud from being discharged. Inserting the long washing pipe 17 from the ground into the end 9b of the earth removal pipe 9 on the starting shaft 30 side is troublesome and time-consuming, but in this pipe propulsion method,
The cleaning operation using the branch pipe 11 for cleaning is performed prior to the cleaning of a place where the mud b is likely to be clogged. However, when the inability to discharge the mud b has not been eliminated, such work is required only for the first time. Therefore, the work of removing the mud clogged in the earth and sand discharge path can be performed rationally by reducing unnecessary work load.

も生じない。When the cleaning liquid d is injected into a place where mud is likely to be clogged, it is a common sense method to provide a separate supply pipe for the cleaning liquid so that the cleaning liquid can be injected. Then, the cleaning liquid d is supplied to the viscosity-imparting liquid supply pipe 11.
And the viscosity-imparting liquid supply pipe 11 is also used as the cleaning liquid supply pipe, so that the supply pipe of the cleaning liquid that must be laid can be omitted, and the supply of the cleaning liquid can be omitted. It does not require a work load for laying a pipeline or extending the pipeline along with the excavation of the leading conductor 1, and does not narrow a narrow space in the leading conductor 1. Therefore, the laser light 1 of the laser transmitter 15
When the light receiving device 6 is received by the light receiving device 14 and its light receiving position is detected, there is no disadvantage that a space through which the laser light 16 passes is narrowed unlike a case where a supply pipe for the cleaning liquid is separately provided.
