ROCK BOLT POST GROUTING APPARATUS

摘要

An apparatus ( 100 ) for post-grouting a rock bolt ( 1 ) has an elongate sleeve ( 101 ) adapted to receive a rock bolt ( 1 ) with a first end ( 1 a) thereof extending beyond the sleeve first end ( 101 a) and a second end ( 1 b) thereof extending beyond the sleeve second end ( 101 b). An end fitting ( 102 ) is attached to the sleeve second end ( 101 b) and has a central aperture ( 106, 107 ) for receiving the rock bolt ( 1 ). Grout passages ( 112 ) communicate the exterior of the end fitting ( 102 ) with the interior of the sleeve ( 101 ). A seal means ( 117 ) is displaceable between open and closed positions so as to seal the grout passages ( 112 ). The seal means ( 117 ) is biased towards the closed position at which the grout passages ( 112 ) are substantially sealed. Injection of grout into the end fitting ( 102 ) via the passages ( 112 ) deflects the seal means ( 117 ) to the open position enabling flow of grout through the passages ( 112 ) and into the sleeve ( 101 ).
