Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of tunnel construction, and in particular to a steel arch frame pressure relief arch foot adjustment device for use under conditions of large deformation of tunnel surrounding rock. Background Art

[0002] With the vigorous development of transportation construction and water conservancy development in western my country, the number of tunnels passing through areas prone to large deformation such as high-altitude stress soft rock has gradually increased. During the construction process, the large deformation of the surrounding rock of the tunnel section in areas prone to large deformation such as soft rock has the characteristics of accumulation in the time dimension, and the deformation is often relatively large. The deformation of the surrounding rock presents the characteristics of dynamic continuous and gradually accumulated changes. In view of the above-mentioned surrounding rock deformation characteristics, the use of traditional rigid arch frame structure for support often bears a large surrounding rock deformation pressure. If it exceeds the bearing limit of the steel arch frame, it will face serious construction safety problems. Practice has shown that simply improving the support strength is still not enough to control the surrounding rock deformation. Therefore, it is necessary to release the surrounding rock deformation. Under the premise of not significantly affecting the strength of the steel arch frame structure, it is necessary to enable it to have a certain pressure-releasing function to absorb the energy accumulated in the surrounding rock and release it to the outside world, thereby reducing the pressure of the steel arch frame arch body and providing a constant resistance for the stable deformation of the surrounding rock mass. This is not only conducive to extending the life of the support structure, but also beneficial to the long-term stability of the water transfer tunnel.

[0003] However, the inventors have found that the inventions involving the pressure-releasing devices of steel arch frames in the past are all located at the segmented connections of the steel arch frames, and their installation is relatively complicated and difficult to operate, and it is difficult to adjust the stiffness and pressure-releasing range of the pressure-releasing devices. At the same time, the steel arch frames with pressure-releasing devices installed at the segmented connections are affected by their own moment of inertia discontinuity or docking accuracy, causing the axial force of the arch frames to deviate from the plane where the arch frames themselves are located, which may easily lead to the instability of the pressure-releasing devices at the segmented connections or the instability of the arch feet caused by the inclination of the arch feet. At this time, the absolute verticality of the arch feet to the ground is very important. At the same time, when the pressure-releasing device is located at the arch frame connection, it is difficult to monitor the instantaneous pressure-releasing amount of the arch frame to guide the determination of the pressure-releasing stiffness and pressure-releasing range of the subsequent pressure-releasing device. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of this, the present application provides a steel arch frame pressure-releasing arch foot adjustment device for use under large deformation conditions of tunnel surrounding rock, which can ensure the continuity of the steel arch frame stiffness and the stability of the steel arch frame arch foot, while realizing the observable and adjustable pressure-releasing function of the steel arch frame arch foot.

[0012] Optionally, the "Z" shape allows the area of ​​the oblique side of the pressed steel plate to be smaller than the bottom surface of the rectangular area enclosed by the "L"-shaped steel plate and the steel vertical plate.

[0013] Optionally, the steel arch frame arch foot limiting device includes a limiting base plate, a rectangular steel cylinder, side wings, and protrusions. The rectangular steel cylinder and the steel base plate have the same center and are vertically connected.

Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the present application.

In addition, the various specific processes and material examples provided by the present application, but those of ordinary skill in the art can appreciate the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 4The embodiment of the present application is used for adjusting the arch foot of a steel arch frame under large deformation conditions of the surrounding rock of a tunnel, including a fixed and limited base 1, a friction-type steel anchor rod 2 which uses a hexagonal nut 4 to constrain the fixed and limited base 1 at the foot of the tunnel through a circular steel gasket 3, a "Z"-shaped pressure-releasing steel 5 is placed in the fixed and limited base 1, a steel arch foot limiting device 6 is located on the "Z"-shaped pressure-releasing steel 5, a steel arch frame 7 is inserted into the steel arch foot limiting device 6, and a foam sealant 8 is filled in the cavity of the "Z"-shaped pressure-releasing steel 5.

[0032] The horizontal steel bottom plate 11 is in contact with the bottom of the tunnel. The steel bottom plate has enough area to share the axial force transmitted by the steel arch frame and reduce the degree of damage to the rock mass at the bottom of the tunnel. At the same time, the thickness and strength of the steel bottom plate 11 can ensure the overall stability of the pressure arch foot adjustment device of the steel arch frame. There are two steel nails 12 on the side of the bottom plate away from the tunnel wall. The steel nails 12 are to be inserted into the holes drilled in advance on the tunnel ground. The steel vertical plate 13 is in contact with the side wall of the tunnel. The steel vertical plate 13 is perpendicular to the steel bottom plate 11. There is one at each of the four corners of the steel vertical plate 13. There are two hole positions 14, and "L"-shaped steel plates 15, both of which are vertically connected to the steel bottom plate 11, and one vertical side of the "L"-shaped steel plate 15 is vertically connected to the steel vertical plate 13. The thickness of the "L"-shaped steel plate 15 is the same as that of the steel bottom plate 11. The "L"-shaped steel plate 15 and the steel vertical plate 13 together form a rectangular area. There is a gap between the two "L"-shaped steel plates 15, and the gap forms an observation groove 16 for observing the pressure release amount. The scales on both sides of the observation groove 16 can be used to instantly observe the pressure release amount of the pressure release device.

[0033] The thickness of the steel vertical plate 13 is the same as that of the steel bottom plate 11 and the length of the connecting edges thereof is the same. There is a circular hole 14 at each of the four corners of the steel vertical plate 13. Each hole 14 is at a distance from the edge of the steel vertical plate 13 to improve the shear strength of the hole 14. The holes 14 are symmetrically distributed about the vertical axis of the steel vertical plate 13. There are four anchor rods 2 in total. The first end of the anchor rod 2 has a hexagonal nut 4 which is transitionally fixed to the hole 14 of the steel vertical plate 13 through a circular gasket 3. The second end of the anchor rod 2 is inserted into the rock mass at a certain angle to the side wall of the tunnel. The steel nail 12 and the anchor rod 2 together form a fixing effect on the fixed and limited base 1, thereby limiting the displacement of the fixed and limited base 1 and ensuring that the fixed and limited base 1 is absolutely level.

[0034] The inner diameter of the gasket 3 is the same as the inner diameter of the hole 14 of the steel vertical plate, the outer diameter of the gasket 3 is larger than the outer diameter of the hexagonal nut 4, the internal thread of the nut 4 matches the external thread of the first end of the anchor rod 2, and the pipe diameter of the anchor rod 2 is smaller than the inner diameter of the hole 14 of the steel vertical plate 13.

[0035] The "Z"-shaped pressure steel plate 5 is located within the fixed and limited base 1. There is one or more "Z"-shaped pressure steel plates 5, and their height is constant at about 10 cm, but the thickness of the steel plate has a variety of sizes (such as 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm). When the thickness of multiple "Z"-shaped pressure steel plates 5 is different, the thicker one is located at the bottom, such as Figure 4 As shown, the area of ​​the inclined surface of the "Z"-shaped pressing steel plate 5 is smaller than the bottom surface of the rectangular area surrounded by the "L"-shaped steel plate 15 and the steel vertical plate 13.

[0036] The “Z”-shaped yielding steel plate 5 and the steel arch frame arch foot limiting device 6 are located in the rectangular area surrounded by the “L”-shaped steel plate 15 and the steel vertical plate 13 , and the “Z”-shaped yielding steel plate 5 is located above the steel bottom plate 11 and below the steel arch frame arch foot limiting device 6 .

[0037] The steel arch frame arch foot limit device 6 is composed of a limit base plate 61, a rectangular steel cylinder 62, four side wings 63, and a protrusion 64. The center of the rectangular steel cylinder 62 is the same as that of the limit base plate 61 and they are vertically connected. One side of each side wing 63 is fixed to a corner of the rectangular steel cylinder 62, and the other side of each side wing extends to the inner wall of the "L"-shaped steel plate 15. The protrusion 64 can extend into the observation groove 16 formed between the two "L"-shaped steel plates. The instantaneous pressure relief amount of the pressure relief device can be instantly obtained through the position of the protrusion 64 corresponding to the scale on the observation (measurement) groove.

[0038] The horizontal projection area of ​​the limiting bottom plate 61 of the limiting device for the arch foot of the steel arch frame is slightly smaller than the bottom area of ​​the rectangular area surrounded by the "L"-shaped steel plate 15 and the steel vertical plate 13 to ensure that the concrete entering the cavity of the "Z"-shaped pressure steel plate 5 is reduced as much as possible during the subsequent re-spraying of concrete. At the same time, the horizontal projection area of ​​the limiting bottom plate 61 of the limiting device for the arch foot of the steel arch frame is larger than the horizontal projection area of ​​the "Z"-shaped pressure steel plate 5.

[0039] After the steel arch foot limit device is installed, it is necessary to inject foam filler 8 through the gap 16 between the two "L"-shaped steel plates to fill the remaining space of the "Z"-shaped pressure-relieving steel plate 5 in the rectangular area surrounded by the "L"-shaped steel plate 15 and the steel vertical plate 13, so as to prevent concrete from entering between the "Z"-shaped pressure-relieving steel plates 5 during subsequent concrete spraying and affecting the normal use of the pressure-relieving device.

[0040] The above is only a preferred specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
