Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、地中に直径700mm以下の小口径の管路を形成するための推進工法および、この推進工法に用いる推進管に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来から行われている小口径推進工法、特に一工程式の推進工法は、掘削機に続けてコンクリート製の推進管を地中に押し込み、掘削機で掘削した土砂を搬出しつつ順次推進管を継ぎ足して管路を形成するものである。
【0003】
この推進工法において、推進管を地中に押し込む際には、管の外周面と地山との摩擦により周面摩擦抵抗が発生する。この周面摩擦抵抗は管路の距離等に比例して増加し、それによって推進管を押し込むために過大な力が必要となったり、推進管にひび割れ等が生じる。そこで、この周面摩擦抵抗を低減させるため、管路内に滑材通路を配置すると共に掘削機等に滑材吐出口を設け、この滑材吐出口から滑材を吐出させて推進管と地山との間に注入している。
【0004】
この滑材は、ベントナイト等を主成分とした粘性の高い流体であるが、地下水によって希釈されたり、地山中に浸透・拡散するため、時間の経過と共に所望の周面摩擦抵抗を低減させる作用が減少してしまう。そこで、地中に押し込んだ管路の途中からも滑剤を随時注入する必要がある。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
かかる方法として、例えば特開昭61-200295号公報および特開2001-200693号公報に記載されているものがある。これらはいずれも推進管の壁内部に滑材通路を形成すると共に、外周面にはこの滑材通路と連通する滑材吐出口を設けている。
【0006】
しかしながら、上記の各公報に記載されている推進管は、滑材吐出口を単に推進管外周面に設けているのみであるため、推進管外周に沿って効果的に滑材を注入することが困難である。また推進管の端面から滑材通路、あるいは滑材通路の継手が突出しているため、輸送時に破損等を生じるおそれもあった。
【0007】
加えて、これらの推進管は、直線状ではなく曲線状の管路を形成する場合や管路に曲がりが生じた場合に、管路の曲がりに対する追従、特に隣接する二本の推進管の間の互いに対向する滑材通路の継手部分が、管路の曲がりに対する追従が困難な構造となっている。そのため、この継手部分で滑材通路の連結が外れたり、水密状態が損なわれるといった問題がある。
【0008】
本発明の目的は、上記の問題点を解決し、地山と推進管との間に効果的に滑材を注入することができ、また管路の曲がりにも追随できる推進工法および、この推進工法に用いる推進管を提案することにある。
【0009】
【課題を解決するための手段】
すなわち本発明による推進工法は、
地中に掘進機と、これに続く推進管を挿入し、この掘進機による掘進と、推進管の押し込みおよび推進管の継ぎ足しを繰り返して地中に直径700mm以下の小口径の管路を形成する推進工法であって、
前記管路の形成に際し、
壁面内部に少なくとも一つの滑材通路を形成すると共推進方向に対する後端その外周面を包囲するカラーを取り付け、さらにこのカラー周方向に複数の溝を形成した第一の推進管の間に、壁面内部に少なくとも一つの滑材通路を形成すると共推進方向に対する後端その外周面を包囲するカラーを取り付け、さらにこのカラー周方向に複数の溝を形成すると共に前記カラーの溝底部に前記滑材通路と連通する滑材吐出口を形成し、前記溝の前記滑材吐出口近傍に周方向に前記溝を閉鎖する蓋部を取り付けた第二の推進管を所定間隔の配置で前記滑材通路を相互に接続しつつ組み込み、
前記滑材通路から供給した滑材を前記滑材吐出口から吐出させ、推進管外周と地山との間に前記滑材を注入することを特徴とするものである。
【0010】
本発明による推進工法は、好ましくは、
前記第一および第二の推進管の一端には、前記滑材通路と連通する雄継手部を端面から当該推進管の軸線方向に突出させて設け、他端には、前記滑材通路よりも大きい径を有する雌継手部を設け、
前記雄継手部の先端部外形を先細状に形成し、
前記雌継手部を、前記推進管の端面から内部に向かって径が先細となるように形成すると共に内側にシール材を取り付け、そのシール材よりも内側で拡径するように形成し、
前記推進管の継ぎ足しを、滑材通路を接続しつつ行う際、前記雄継手部と前記雌継手部とを水密に嵌合させることを特徴とするものである。
【0011】
本発明による推進工法は、好ましくは、
前記雄継手部を取り外し可能とすることを特徴とするものである。
【0012】
本発明による推進工法は、好ましくは、
前記第一および第二の推進管の両端面の、前記滑材通路開口部近傍の内壁にシール材を設け、
前記推進管の継ぎ足しを、滑材通路を接続しつつ行う際、隣接する推進管の前記滑材通路間に連結管を挿入し、その連結管を前記雄継手部とすることによってこれら滑材通路を水密に嵌合させることを特徴とするものである。
【0014】
本発明による推進工法は、好ましくは、
前記蓋部に前記滑材の流れ方向および流量を制御する手段を設けたことを特徴とするものである。
【0015】
本発明による推進工法は、好ましくは、
前記蓋部に少なくとも一つの滑材吐出孔をさらに設けたことを特徴とするものである。
【0016】
さらに本発明は、上述した推進工法に用いる推進管に関するものでもある。
【0017】
【発明の効果】
本発明による推進工法においては、推進管の推進方向に対する後端の外周に取り付けたカラーに形成した溝に滑材吐出口を設け、この滑材吐出口から吐出させた滑材を、この溝を通して推進管と地山との間に注入することとしている。それによって、推進管外周に亘って効果的に滑材を注入することが可能となる。
【0018】
本発明による推進工法の好適な実施形態においては、隣接する推進管の連結によりその壁内部に形成した滑材通路の接続を行うに際し、一方を推進管の端面から突出するテーパ状の雄継手、他方をこの雄継手と嵌合する雌継手とすると共に、雌継手の内部もまた内部に向かって先細状とし、その雌継手の内側にシール材を取り付け、そのシール材よりも内側で拡径するように形成している。このような形状として両者を嵌合させることにより、隣接する推進管の接続部に曲げが生じても、滑材通路がこれに追従することができ、管路が曲線状である場合や、何らかの原因で管路に曲がりが生じた場合でも、滑材通路の連結が外れたり、水密状態が損なわれたりすることがない。
【0019】
本発明による推進工法の好適な実施形態においては、雄継手部を取り外し可能としても良く、また隣接する推進管の滑材通路の接続を、これらの間に連結管を挿入することにより行うこととしても良い。それによって、前述したような管路の曲がりにも追従することが可能となると共に、輸送時における滑材通路の破損を防ぐことが可能となる。
【0020】
本発明による推進工法においてはさらに、滑材吐出口から吐出させた滑材を流す溝、前記滑材吐出口近傍周方向に、この溝を閉鎖するための蓋部を取り付けることとしている。それによって、推進管の周方向へ効率的に滑材を流すことができ、より効果的に滑材の注入ができるようになる。
【0021】
本発明による推進工法の好適な実施形態においては、前記蓋部に滑材の流れ方向および流量を制御する手段を設けても良く、また、この蓋部に少なくとも一つの滑材吐出孔をさらに設けることとしても良い。それによって、より効率的に推進管の周方向へ滑材を流し、滑材の注入をさらに効果的なものとすることが可能となる。
【0022】
また本発明による推進工法に用いる推進管は、上述したような特徴を有していることから、効果的な滑材の注入や、管路の曲がりに対する追従、さらには輸送時の破損防止といった利点を有している。
【0023】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、図面を参照して本発明の好適な実施形態について説明する。
【0024】
図1は本発明による推進工法を用いた管路形成の工程を概略示すものである。まず、地中に管路形成のための掘削作業の出発点となる発進立坑1および終点となる到達立坑2を設け、発進立坑1内に掘削機10、推進管11およびこれらを地中に押し込むためのジャッキ12等を設置する。
【0025】
次いで、発進立坑1から掘削機10を到達立坑2へ向けて地山を掘削させつつ前進させる。また、掘削機10の前進と共に、推進管11を随時継ぎ足してジャッキ12によって地中へ押し込んで行く。これと並行して、掘削機10に対してホース13により滑材14を供給し、この滑材14を掘削機10の外面から吐出させる。それによって掘削機10および推進管11と地山との間に滑材14を注入し、周面摩擦抵抗を低減させる。
【0026】
さらに、後述する構造で滑材通路および滑材吐出口を設けた複数の推進管11からも滑材14を吐出させることにより、推進管11と地山との間に滑材14を注入し、周面摩擦抵抗を低減させつつ掘削を進める。そして、掘削機10が到達立坑2に到達した後、掘削機10を撤去して地中に推進管11を留置させ、管路の形成が完了する。
【0027】
図2は、本発明による推進工法における、掘削機と推進管を連結した状態の外観を示すものである。本工法は、後述するように、特に曲線状をなす管路を形成する場合に有利であることから、掘削機および推進管が曲線状をなして連結した状態で示している。
【0028】
掘削機10の後方には多数の推進管11を連結しているが、推進管11には三種類のものがある。すなわち、滑材通路15を設けた第一の推進管11A、滑材通路15と滑材吐出口16を設けた第二の推進管11Bおよび、滑材通路15、滑材吐出口16のいずれも設けていない第三の推進管11Cである。図では、掘削機10の直後には複数(図では3本)の第三の推進管11Cを連結し、次いで第二の推進管11Bを連結し、この第二の推進管11Bの滑材吐出口16から滑材を吐出させるようにしている。これ以降は、第一の推進管11Aと第二の推進管11Bを所定の間隔(本数)で連結する。ここで、図では第一の推進管11Aを4本連結した後に第二の推進管11Bを1本連結している。なお、これら第一および第二の推進管の連結方法は、形成する管路の長さや地山の性質等によって適宜決めるものとする。
【0029】
これら各推進管は、掘削終了後管路として地中に留置するものであることからコンクリート製とし、滑材通路15および滑材吐出口16は、これら推進管を製造する際に、壁面に鋼管等を埋め込むことにより形成するものとしている。この滑材通路15および滑材吐出口16を形成するための管の直径は、推進管の直径や壁厚、滑材の粘性等を考慮した上で適宜設定するものとする。これは、前述したように滑材は粘性を有しているため、必要な滑材注入量(吐出量)を確保するためには滑材通路内での摩擦損失を十分考慮しなければならないこと、また、滑材通路等を形成したことによって推進管の耐圧強度を低下させてはならないこと等による。具体的には、例えば直径400mmの推進管の場合、直径18.1mmの管を滑材通路として用いる。
【0030】
図3は前述した第一の推進管11Aの一実施形態の外観を示すものである。第一の推進管11Aには、管壁内部に少なくとも一つ(図では三本)の滑材通路15を形成しており、前述した掘削工程で推進管と地山との間に注入する滑材を、この滑材通路15を通して輸送する。第一の推進管11Aの、推進方向に対し前方の端面17には、推進管同士の連結と共に滑材通路15を繋ぐための雄継手18が軸線方向に突出している。また、推進方向に対し後方の端面19には、この雄継手18と嵌合する雌継手20を設けると共に、推進管11Aの外周を覆うカラー21を取り付けている。
【0031】
図4は第一の推進管11Aを端面19側から見た図である。第一の推進管11Aの端面19には、その上下に、推進管11Aの上下方向中心線CLに対して左右約45°の範囲でクッション材22,23を取り付けている。一方、図5は曲線状をなす管路(図2参照)における推進管同士の連結部を上から、すなわち地表面から見下ろした状態を示すものであり、図5(a)は外面を、図5(b)は推進管を地表面(水平面)と平行な面で切断した場合を示す図である。図5(b)から明らかなように、隣接する推進管の端面はクッション材を介して接続し、このクッション材を通して隣接する推進管の間でジャッキによる推力の伝達が行われることとなる。
【0032】
曲線状の管路を形成するためにジャッキで推進管を地中へ押し込む際、隣接する推進管の各端面の、曲線の内側となる部分にはジャッキの推力による応力集中が生じ、推進管の破損が生じるおそれがある。そのため、推進管の端面に適切に推力が加わるように、上述した部分のみにクッション材を取り付けることとしている。推進管端面全体にクッション材を取り付けた場合、曲線の内側となる部分にもジャッキ推力による応力が加わることとなるからである。また、クッション材を取り付ける範囲を約45°としているのは、上述したように端面の一部に応力集中を生じさせることなく推力を伝達するためである。なお、クッション材をこのように配置することは、従来の推進工法において既に行われているものであり、社団法人日本下水道管渠推進技術協議会「推進工法講座 工法・法令編」にかかる記載がなされている。
【0033】
ここで、再度図4を参照すると、滑材通路20は、クッション材22を設けた範囲内および、その外側近傍に設けている。その理由は以下の通りである。地中の推進管には、鉛直方向の土圧、ジャッキによる推力等による水平方向の荷重、側面からの地盤反力、さらには推進管自身の重量等の種々の荷重が常時作用し、これらの荷重によって曲げモーメントが発生する。図6は、この曲げモーメントの周方向の分布を模式的に示すものであるが、図より明らかに、推進管11Aの上下方向中心線CLに対して左右約45°の位置で最小となっている。推進管の壁内に滑材通路を形成した場合、その部分の壁厚が実質的に薄くなる。そのため、滑材通路形成箇所に曲げモーメントが加わった場合、管壁が曲げモーメントによる力に耐えられず、ひび割れが生じる可能性がある。そのため、滑材通路を形成する箇所として、推進管の壁に加わる曲げモーメントが極力小さくなる所を選択する必要がある。そこで、図4および図6に示すように曲げモーメントが最小、あるいはほぼ0となる箇所の近傍に滑材通路を設けることとしている。
【0034】
なお、図4では三本の滑材通路の内、一本がクッション材22を設けた範囲内にあるが、これは滑材通路を三本とした場合に、推進管と地山との間への効果的な滑材の注入と、滑材通路へ加わる曲げモーメントを極力小さくするための配置の一例である。そのため、管路設置の施工箇所(掘削長さ)全体に亘る滑材の吐出箇所(滑材吐出口)の数や、それに伴う滑材通路の本数によっても適宜変更し得るものである。
【0035】
図7は第一の推進管11Aの端面19とその周辺の一部を拡大して示す断面図である。端面19に形成した雌継手20にはポケット24を設け、このポケット24にはOリング25を嵌め込んで固定している。また、端面19(雌継手20の開口部)からポケット24に向かう方向に直径が細くなるテーパ状部26を設けている。このテーパ状部26の作用については後述する。第一の推進管11Aの外周を覆うカラー21は、推進管11Aと連結する他の推進管の端部をも覆うように、軸線方向外側に張り出している。また、カラー21には周方向に溝(リブ)を形成しており、このリブが補強部材の役目を果たしている。なお、符号27で示すものは、カラー21の内周面と他の推進管の外周面とを水密にするためのパッキンである。
【0036】
一方、図8は第一の推進管11Aのもう一方の端面17とその周辺の一部を拡大して示す断面図である。第一の推進管11Aの端面17から軸線方向外側へ突出する雄継手18は、一端が推進管の端面17近傍に設けたねじ部28にねじ込みして固定されている。すなわち、雄継手18は、推進管11Aの保管中や輸送中は取り外しておき、管路形成に用いる際に取り付けられるようになっている。それによって、推進管11Aの保管中や輸送中に雄継手18が破損したり変形したりすることを防ぐことができる。また、雄継手18のもう一方の端部には、外径が先細状となるテーパ状部29を形成している。なお、このテーパ状部29の作用についても後述する。
【0037】
図9は、曲線状をなす管路において、互いに連結した二本の推進管11Aが、その連結部で曲がりを生じているときの滑材通路の接続状態を示す断面図である。図より明らかなように、雄継手18先端にはテーパ状部29を、雌継手20の開口部にはテーパ状部26をそれぞれ設けたことにより、互いに嵌合している雄継手18および雌継手20が、Oリング25による水密を保ちつつ管路の曲がりに追随できている。なお、これら雄継手18および雌継手20は、管路の曲がりのみならず、推進管同士の連結の際の位置ずれにも対応しうるものであることは言うまでもない。
【0038】
図10は推進管11Aの他の実施形態における、一方の端面の一部を拡大して示す断面図である。図示の推進管11Aにおいては、端面17側にも雌継手30を形成することとしており、隣接する推進管同士を連結する際の滑材通路15の接続は連結管34を各推進管の対向する雌継手に挿入することにより行う。連結管34の両端にはテーパ状部35,36を設け、管路の曲げによる推進管連結部の曲げに対応するようにしている。
【0039】
図11は、曲線状をなす管路において、図10に示した、互いに連結した二本の推進管11Aが、その連結部で曲がりを生じているときの滑材通路の接続状態を示す断面図である。この実施形態においても、連結管34両端のテーパ状部35,36および雌継手20開口部にはテーパ状部26ならびに雌継手30開口部のテーパ状部33が、図9に示した場合と同様に、Oリング25,32による水密を保ちつつ管路の曲がりに追随できていることがわかる。
【0040】
次に図12は前述した第二の推進管11Bの一実施形態の外観を示すものである。第二の推進管11Bにもまた、管壁内部に少なくとも一つ(図では二本)の滑材通路41を形成している。また、一方の端面42には推進管同士の連結と共に滑材通路41を繋ぐための雄継手43が軸線方向に突出し、もう一方の端面44には、この推進管11Bと連結する推進管(例えば前述の第一の推進管11A)に設けた雄継手18または連結管34と嵌合する第一の雌継手45を設けると共に、推進管11Bの外周を覆うカラー46を取り付けている。なお、ここでは、雄継手43および第一の雌継手45は、前述した第一の推進管11Aにおける雄継手18および雌継手20と同じものとする。また、図10および図11に示した第一の推進管11Aの他の実施形態と同様に、この第二の推進管11Bもまた、両端に第一の雌継手45を形成し、隣接する推進管とは連結管34と同様の連結管で接続することとしても良い。
【0041】
加えて、この第二の推進管11Bの端面44側には第二の雌継手47を設け、この第二の雌継手47には、その中心軸線と直角で、かつカラー46の溝48の底部で開口する滑材吐出口16を取り付けている。滑材吐出口16から吐出した滑材は、カラー46の溝48を通して推進管11Bの周方向へ流れ、それによって推進管と地山との間への滑材の注入が行われる。本来、この溝48は推進管の補強のために設けているものであるが、本発明による推進工法においては、この溝を、滑材を注入するための流路としても利用することにより、より効率的で効果的な滑材の注入を実現している。さらに、滑材吐出口16近傍においてカラー46の溝48を蓋49で覆うことにより、滑材の推進管11B周方向への効果的な流動を促進している。
【0042】
図13は、図12に示した第二の推進管11Bの、第二の雌継手47および滑材吐出口16とその周辺を拡大して示す断面図である。この第二の雌継手47もまた、ポケット50にOリング51を嵌め込んで固定すると共に、開口部にテーパ状部52を設けている。さらに、雌継手47には逆止弁53を設けている。逆止弁53は弁体(ポペット)54およびばね55を具え、滑材の逆流を防ぐためのものである。雌継手47へ流入した滑材は、この逆止弁53を経て、滑材吐出口16から外部へ流出する。
【0043】
図14は滑材吐出口16からの滑材の流出状態を模式的に示すものであり、図14(a)は雌継手47の部分のみを拡大して示す管の軸線に沿った断面図、図14(b)はカラー46の溝48のみを上から見た図、図14(a)は推進管11Bの滑材吐出口16を設けた箇所の、管の軸線に直角な面から見た断面図である。図14(a)に示すように雄継手(ここでは前述した第一の推進管11Aの雄継手18)から白矢印で示す方向に雌継手47へ流入した滑材は、その圧力で逆止弁53の弁体54をばね55の力に抗して開き、弁53を通過して滑材吐出口16へと流れる。
【0044】
図14(b)および図14(c)に示すように、滑材吐出口16から流出した滑材は、図に白矢印で示すように溝48に沿って推進管11Bの外周方向へ流れ、また一部は溝48から溢れて推進管11Bの前後方向(図14(b)の上下方向の白矢印で示す方向)や、滑材吐出口16の上方へも流れる。
【0045】
図14に示す形態の場合、前述のように溝48に沿わない滑材の流れが生じる。そのため、推進管11Bの周方向への効果的な滑材の流動を促すため、図15に示すように、溝48の滑材吐出口16付近を蓋49で覆う。それによって、滑材吐出口16から流出した滑材は、溝48の外へ流出すること無く溝48を通って推進管11Bの周方向へ流れるようになる。
【0046】
図16は、図15の変形例であり、ここでは蓋56の略中央部にそらせ板57を設けている。このそらせ板57は、滑材吐出口16から流出する滑材を溝48へ案内する役割を果たすものであるが、同時に滑材の流れ方向および流量を制御する手段として働く。すなわち、図16(a)および図16(b)に示すように、そらせ板57を滑材吐出口16の中心からオフセットさせて(図では右寄り)位置するように蓋56を取り付けた場合、滑材吐出口16から右方向へ流れる滑材の量よりも、左方向へ流れる滑材の量が多くなる。このようにすることにより、滑材吐出口16の位置などに応じた効果的な滑材の注入が実現できる。
【0047】
図17はさらに別の変形例を示すものである。ここでは蓋58の略中央部にそらせ板59を設けると共に、長さ方向に複数の吐出孔60を設けている。これは図15に示す場合とは逆に、推進管の前後方向にも滑材をより多く注入した場合に効果を有するものであり、図17(a)に示すように滑材吐出口16から流出した滑材は溝48を通して推進管の周方向へ流れるのみならず、吐出孔60を通して推進管の前後へも流れることとなる。
【0048】
以上説明したように、本発明による推進工法は、地山と推進管との間、特に推進管の周方向への滑材の注入を効果的に行うことができ、また曲線状の管路を形成する場合においても推進管の追従を可能とするものである。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a propulsion method for forming a small-diameter pipe having a diameter of 700 mm or less in the ground, and a propulsion tube used in the propulsion method.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The small-diameter propulsion method that has been used in the past, especially the one-step propulsion method, is to push the concrete propulsion pipe into the ground following the excavator, and sequentially carry out the propulsion pipe while carrying out the excavated earth and sand. The pipes are formed by connecting.
[0003]
In this propulsion method, when the propulsion pipe is pushed into the ground, peripheral frictional resistance is generated due to friction between the outer peripheral surface of the pipe and the ground. The circumferential frictional resistance increases in proportion to the distance of the pipe line, and accordingly, an excessive force is required to push the propulsion pipe, and the propulsion pipe is cracked. Therefore, in order to reduce the peripheral frictional resistance, a lubricating material passage is arranged in the pipe and a lubricating material discharge port is provided in an excavator or the like, and the lubricating material is discharged from the lubricating material discharge port so that the propelling pipe and the ground are discharged. It is injected between the mountains.
[0004]
This lubricant is a highly viscous fluid composed mainly of bentonite, etc., but it is diluted with groundwater or penetrates and diffuses into the ground, so it has the effect of reducing the desired circumferential frictional resistance over time. It will decrease. Therefore, it is necessary to inject lubricant at any time from the middle of the pipeline pushed into the ground.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Examples of such methods include those described in JP-A-61-200295 and JP-A-2001-200693. Each of these forms a lubricant passage in the wall of the propulsion pipe, and a lubricant discharge port communicating with the lubricant passage is provided on the outer peripheral surface.
[0006]
However, since the propulsion pipes described in each of the above publications merely provide the lubricant discharge port on the outer peripheral surface of the propulsion pipe, the lubricant can be effectively injected along the outer periphery of the propulsion pipe. Have difficulty. Further, since the lubricant passage or the joint of the lubricant passage protrudes from the end face of the propulsion pipe, there is a risk of damage during transportation.
[0007]
In addition, these propulsion pipes follow the curve of the pipe line, especially when the pipe line is curved rather than straight, or when the pipe line is bent, especially between two adjacent propulsion pipes. The joint portions of the mutually facing lubricant passages have a structure that makes it difficult to follow the bending of the pipeline. Therefore, there is a problem that the joint of the lubricant passage is disconnected at this joint portion or the watertight state is impaired.
[0008]
An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, to effectively inject a lubricant between the natural ground and the propulsion pipe, and to follow the bend of the pipe and the propulsion method.

[0023]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0024]
FIG. 1 schematically shows a process of forming a pipeline using the propulsion method according to the present invention. First, the start shaft 1 that will be the starting point of the excavation work for pipe formation and the end shaft 2 that will be the end point are provided in the ground, and the excavator 10, the propulsion pipe 11 and these are pushed into the start shaft 1 Install jack 12 etc.
[0025]
Next, the excavator 10 is advanced from the starting shaft 1 toward the reaching shaft 2 while excavating natural ground. Further, as the excavator 10 advances, the propulsion pipe 11 is added at any time and pushed into the ground by the jack 12. In parallel with this, the lubricant 14 is supplied to the excavator 10 by the hose 13, and the lubricant 14 is discharged from the outer surface of the excavator 10. Accordingly, the lubricant 14 is injected between the excavator 10 and the propulsion pipe 11 and the natural ground, and the peripheral frictional resistance is reduced.
[0026]
Furthermore, by discharging the lubricant 14 from the plurality of propulsion pipes 11 provided with the lubricant passage and the lubricant discharge port in the structure described later, the lubricant 14 is injected between the propulsion pipe 11 and the natural ground, Proceed with excavation while reducing peripheral frictional resistance. Then, after the excavator 10 reaches the reaching shaft 2, the excavator 10 is removed and the propulsion pipe 11 is detained in the ground, and the formation of the pipeline is completed.
[0027]
FIG. 2 shows the appearance of the excavator and the propulsion pipe connected in the propulsion method according to the present invention. As will be described later, this construction method is particularly advantageous when a curved pipe line is formed. Therefore, the excavator and the propulsion pipe are shown in a curved connection state.
[0028]
A number of propulsion pipes 11 are connected to the rear of the excavator 10, and there are three types of propulsion pipes 11. That is, the first propulsion pipe 11A provided with the lubricant passage 15, the second propulsion pipe 11B provided with the lubricant passage 15 and the lubricant discharge port 16, and the lubricant passage 15 and the lubricant discharge port 16 are all provided. The third propulsion pipe 11C is not provided. In the figure, immediately after the excavator 10, a plurality of (three in the figure) third propulsion pipes 11C are connected, and then the second propulsion pipe 11B is connected. The lubricant is discharged from the outlet 16. Thereafter, the first propulsion pipe 11A and the second propulsion pipe 11B are connected at a predetermined interval (number). Here, in the figure, four first propulsion pipes 11A are connected, and then one second propulsion pipe 11B is connected. In addition, the connection method of these 1st and 2nd propulsion pipes shall be suitably decided by the length of the pipe line to form, the property of a natural ground, etc.
[0029]
These propulsion pipes are made of concrete because they are detained as underground pipes after excavation, and the lubricant passage 15 and the lubricant discharge port 16 are made of steel pipes on the wall surface when these propulsion pipes are manufactured. Etc. are formed by embedding. The diameter of the tube for forming the lubricant passage 15 and the lubricant discharge port 16 is appropriately set in consideration of the diameter and wall thickness of the propulsion tube, the viscosity of the lubricant, and the like. This is because, as described above, the lubricant has viscosity, so that it is necessary to fully consider the friction loss in the lubricant passage in order to secure the necessary lubricant injection amount (discharge amount). In addition, it is because the pressure-resistant strength of the propulsion pipe should not be reduced by forming the lubricant passage and the like. Specifically, for example, in the case of a propulsion pipe having a diameter of 400 mm, a pipe having a diameter of 18.1 mm is used as the lubricant passage.
[0030]
FIG. 3 shows the appearance of an embodiment of the first propulsion pipe 11A described above. In the first propulsion pipe 11A, at least one (three in the figure) sliding material passage 15 is formed inside the pipe wall, and the sliding pipe injected between the propulsion pipe and the natural ground in the excavation process described above. The material is transported through this lubricant passage 15. The first propulsion tube 11A, the end face 17 of the front side with respect to propulsion direction, the male coupling 18 for connecting the lubricant passage 15 is projected in the axial direction together with connection between propulsion tube. Further, the end face 19 of the rear side with respect to propulsion direction, provided with a female coupling 20 which mates with the male joint 18, are fitted with a collar 21 that covers the outer periphery of the propulsion tube 11A.
[0031]
FIG. 4 is a view of the first propulsion pipe 11A viewed from the end face 19 side. Cushion members 22 and 23 are attached to the end surface 19 of the first propulsion pipe 11A at the upper and lower sides thereof in a range of about 45 ° to the left and right with respect to the vertical center line CL of the propulsion pipe 11A. On the other hand, FIG. 5 shows a state where the connecting portion of the propulsion pipes in the curved pipe line (see FIG. 2) is viewed from above, that is, from the ground surface, and FIG. 5 (a) shows the outer surface. FIG. 5 (b) is a diagram showing a case where the propulsion pipe is cut along a plane parallel to the ground surface (horizontal plane). As is clear from FIG. 5 (b), the end surfaces of the adjacent propulsion pipes are connected via a cushion material, and the thrust is transmitted by the jack between the adjacent propulsion pipes through the cushion material.
[0032]
When pushing a propulsion pipe into the ground with a jack to form a curved pipe line, stress concentration occurs due to the thrust of the jack at the inner part of the curve of each end face of the adjacent propulsion pipe. Damage may occur. Therefore, the cushion material is attached only to the above-described portion so that thrust is appropriately applied to the end face of the propulsion pipe. This is because when the cushion material is attached to the entire end face of the propulsion pipe, stress due to jack thrust is also applied to the portion inside the curve. The reason why the range for attaching the cushion material is about 45 ° is to transmit the thrust without causing stress concentration on a part of the end face as described above. This arrangement of the cushioning material is already done in the conventional promotion method, and the description related to the “Promotion Method Course, Method and Law” of the Japan Sewerage Pipe Promotion Technology Council Has been made.
[0033]
Here, referring to FIG. 4 again, the lubricant passage 20 is provided in the range where the cushion material 22 is provided and in the vicinity of the outside thereof. The reason is as follows. Various loads such as vertical earth pressure, horizontal load due to thrust by jacks, ground reaction force from the side, and the weight of the propulsion pipe itself are always applied to the underground propulsion pipe. A bending moment is generated by the load. FIG. 6 schematically shows the distribution of the bending moment in the circumferential direction. As is clear from the figure, the bending moment is minimized at a position about 45 ° to the left and right with respect to the vertical center line CL of the propulsion pipe 11A. Yes. When the lubricant passage is formed in the wall of the propulsion pipe, the wall thickness of that portion is substantially reduced. Therefore, when a bending moment is applied to the place where the lubricant passage is formed, the tube wall cannot withstand the force caused by the bending moment, and there is a possibility that a crack will occur. Therefore, it is necessary to select a place where the bending moment applied to the wall of the propulsion pipe is minimized as a place where the lubricant passage is formed. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, a lubricant passage is provided in the vicinity of a portion where the bending moment is minimized or substantially zero.
[0034]
In FIG. 4, one of the three lubricant passages is within the range where the cushion material 22 is provided, but this is between the propulsion pipe and the natural ground when there are three lubricant passages. It is an example of arrangement | positioning for making injection | pouring of the effective sliding material into a sliding door, and making the bending moment added to a lubricating material path | route as small as possible. Therefore, the number can be changed as appropriate depending on the number of discharge parts (lubricant discharge ports) of the lubricant covering the entire installation place (excavation length) of the pipeline installation and the number of the lubricant passages associated therewith.
[0035]
FIG. 7 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the end surface 19 of the first propelling pipe 11A and a part of the periphery thereof. A female joint 20 formed on the end face 19 is provided with a pocket 24, and an O-ring 25 is fitted into the pocket 24 and fixed. Further, a tapered portion 26 whose diameter decreases in the direction from the end face 19 (the opening of the female joint 20) toward the pocket 24 is provided. The operation of the tapered portion 26 will be described later. The collar 21 covering the outer periphery of the first propulsion tube 11A projects outward in the axial direction so as to cover the end of another propulsion tube connected to the propulsion tube 11A. Further, a groove (rib) is formed in the collar 21 in the circumferential direction, and this rib serves as a reinforcing member. In addition, what is shown by the code | symbol 27 is the packing for watertightly sealing the inner peripheral surface of the collar 21 and the outer peripheral surface of another propulsion pipe.
[0036]
On the other hand, FIG. 8 is an enlarged sectional view showing the other end face 17 of the first propelling pipe 11A and a part of the periphery thereof. One end of the male joint 18 that protrudes outward in the axial direction from the end face 17 of the first propulsion pipe 11A is fixed by being screwed into a screw portion 28 provided near the end face 17 of the propulsion pipe. That is, the male joint 18 is removed during storage and transportation of the propulsion pipe 11A, and is attached when used for pipe formation. Thereby, the male joint 18 can be prevented from being damaged or deformed during storage or transportation of the propulsion pipe 11A. A tapered portion 29 having a tapered outer diameter is formed at the other end of the male joint 18. The operation of the tapered portion 29 will also be described later.
[0037]
FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view showing a connection state of the lubricant passage when two propulsion pipes 11A connected to each other in a curved pipe line are bent at the connecting portion. As is apparent from the figure, the male joint 18 and the female joint 18 are fitted to each other by providing a tapered portion 29 at the tip of the male joint 18 and a tapered portion 26 at the opening of the female joint 20, respectively. 20 can follow the bending of the pipe line while keeping the water tightness by the O-ring 25. Needless to say, the male joint 18 and the female joint 20 can cope with not only the bending of the pipe line but also the positional deviation when the propulsion pipes are connected to each other.
[0038]
FIG. 10 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing a part of one end face in another embodiment of the propulsion pipe 11A. In the illustrated propulsion pipe 11A, a female joint 30 is also formed on the end face 17 side, and when connecting adjacent propulsion pipes, the connection of the lubricant passage 15 is made by connecting the connection pipe 34 to each propulsion pipe. This is done by inserting it into the female joint. Tapered portions 35 and 36 are provided at both ends of the connecting pipe 34 so as to cope with the bending of the propulsion pipe connecting portion due to the bending of the pipe line.
[0039]
FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view showing the connection state of the lubricant passage when the two propulsion pipes 11A connected to each other shown in FIG. 10 are bent at the connecting portion in the curved pipe line. It is. Also in this embodiment, the tapered portions 35 and 36 at both ends of the connecting pipe 34 and the female joint 20 opening have the tapered portion 26 and the tapered portion 33 of the female joint 30 opening as in the case shown in FIG. In addition, it can be seen that it is possible to follow the bending of the pipe line while maintaining watertightness by the O-rings 25 and 32.
[0040]
Next, FIG. 12 shows an appearance of an embodiment of the second propulsion pipe 11B described above. Also in the second propulsion pipe 11B, at least one (two in the figure) lubricant passage 41 is formed inside the pipe wall. Further, a male joint 43 for connecting the lubricant passage 41 together with the connection between the propulsion pipes protrudes in the axial direction on one end face 42, and a propulsion pipe (for example, connected to the propulsion pipe 11B on the other end face 44, for example) A first female joint 45 fitted to the male joint 18 or the connecting pipe 34 provided in the first propulsion pipe 11A) is provided, and a collar 46 covering the outer periphery of the propulsion pipe 11B is attached. Here, the male joint 43 and the first female joint 45 are the same as the male joint 18 and the female joint 20 in the first propulsion pipe 11A described above. Further, like the other embodiments of the first propulsion pipe 11A shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the second propulsion pipe 11B also forms the first female joint 45 at both ends, and the adjacent propulsion pipes 11B. The pipe may be connected by a connecting pipe similar to the connecting pipe 34.
[0041]
In addition, a second female joint 47 is provided on the end face 44 side of the second propulsion pipe 11B, and the second female joint 47 is perpendicular to the central axis thereof and the bottom of the groove 48 of the collar 46. A sliding material discharge port 16 opened at is attached. The lubricant discharged from the lubricant discharge port 16 flows in the circumferential direction of the propulsion tube 11B through the groove 48 of the collar 46, whereby the lubricant is injected between the propulsion tube and the ground. Originally, this groove 48 is provided to reinforce the propulsion pipe, but in the propulsion method according to the present invention, the groove is used as a flow path for injecting the lubricant, so that Efficient and effective injection of lubricant. Further, by covering the groove 48 of the collar 46 with the lid 49 in the vicinity of the lubricant discharge port 16, an effective flow of the lubricant in the circumferential direction of the propelling tube 11B is promoted.
[0042]
FIG. 13 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the second female joint 47 and the lubricant discharge port 16 and their surroundings of the second propulsion pipe 11B shown in FIG. The second female joint 47 also has an O-ring 51 fitted and fixed in the pocket 50, and a tapered portion 52 is provided in the opening. Further, the female joint 47 is provided with a check valve 53. The check valve 53 includes a valve body (poppet) 54 and a spring 55 for preventing the backflow of the lubricant. The lubricant flowing into the female joint 47 flows out of the lubricant discharge port 16 through the check valve 53 to the outside.
[0043]
FIG. 14 schematically shows the outflow state of the lubricant from the lubricant discharge port 16, and FIG. 14 (a) is a cross-sectional view taken along the axis of the pipe showing only the female joint 47 in an enlarged manner, FIG. 14 (b) is a view of only the groove 48 of the collar 46 as viewed from above, and FIG. 14 (a) is a view of the portion provided with the lubricant discharge port 16 of the propulsion tube 11B as viewed from a plane perpendicular to the axis of the tube. It is sectional drawing. As shown in FIG. 14 (a), the lubricant flowing into the female joint 47 in the direction indicated by the white arrow from the male joint (here, the male joint 18 of the first propulsion pipe 11A described above) The valve body 54 of 53 is opened against the force of the spring 55, passes through the valve 53, and flows to the lubricant discharge port 16.
[0044]
As shown in FIGS. 14 (b) and 14 (c), the lubricant that has flowed out of the lubricant discharge port 16 flows in the outer circumferential direction of the propulsion pipe 11B along the groove 48 as indicated by white arrows in the figure. Further, a part overflows from the groove 48 and flows also in the front-rear direction of the propulsion pipe 11B (the direction indicated by the white arrow in the vertical direction in FIG. 14B) and above the lubricant discharge port 16.
[0045]
In the case of the form shown in FIG. 14, the flow of the lubricant does not occur along the groove 48 as described above. Therefore, in order to promote effective flow of the lubricant in the circumferential direction of the propelling tube 11B, the vicinity of the lubricant discharge port 16 of the groove 48 is covered with a lid 49 as shown in FIG. As a result, the lubricant flowing out of the lubricant discharge port 16 flows in the circumferential direction of the propulsion pipe 11B through the groove 48 without flowing out of the groove 48.
[0046]
FIG. 16 is a modification of FIG. 15, and here, a baffle plate 57 is provided at a substantially central portion of the lid 56. The baffle plate 57 plays a role of guiding the lubricant flowing out from the lubricant discharge port 16 to the groove 48, and at the same time, serves as a means for controlling the flow direction and flow rate of the lubricant. That is, as shown in FIGS. 16 (a) and 16 (b), when the lid 56 is attached so that the baffle plate 57 is offset from the center of the sliding material discharge port 16 (rightward in the figure), The amount of lubricant flowing in the left direction is larger than the amount of lubricant flowing in the right direction from the material discharge port 16. By doing so, it is possible to realize the effective injection of the lubricant according to the position of the lubricant discharge port 16 and the like.
[0047]
FIG. 17 shows still another modification. Here, a deflecting plate 59 is provided at a substantially central portion of the lid 58, and a plurality of discharge holes 60 are provided in the length direction. Contrary to the case shown in FIG. 15, this has an effect when more lubricant is injected also in the longitudinal direction of the propulsion pipe, and from the lubricant discharge port 16 as shown in FIG. The outflowing lubricant not only flows in the circumferential direction of the propulsion pipe through the groove 48 but also flows through the discharge hole 60 to the front and rear of the propulsion pipe.
[0048]
As described above, the propulsion method according to the present invention can effectively inject the lubricant between the natural ground and the propulsion pipe, particularly in the circumferential direction of the propulsion pipe, and the curved pipe line. Even in the case of formation, the propulsion pipe can be followed.
