Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of tunnel monitoring and early warning technology, and in particular to a tunnel surrounding rock monitoring and early warning device, a fixing device, and an arrangement method. Background Technology
[0002] Existing tunnels are increasingly constrained by the existing urban building structures, mountain geological environment, and increasingly dense underground transportation networks, leaving less and less space for tunnel route selection and construction.

[0003] For tunnels with large cross-sections and small clearances, there are high requirements for monitoring and measurement frequency to ensure the safety of tunnel construction. Currently, most of the measurement methods for tunnel vibrating wire sensors (earth pressure cells, rebar gauges, etc.) are done manually using frequency reading instruments, which cannot meet the requirements. At the same time, the method of using intelligent acquisition boxes to collect data cannot provide timely feedback to on-site construction personnel when special circumstances occur.

[0049] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0050] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this invention provides a tunnel surrounding rock monitoring and early warning device. The monitoring and early warning device 3 includes an input section, a central control section, and an output section. The input section includes a vibrating wire earth pressure sensor, a VM series vibrating wire professional reading module (selecting the VM604 vibrating wire reading measurement module), an independent button module, and a power supply circuit. The central control section includes a central processing unit (using a low-power, high-performance STC89C52 microcontroller). The output section includes a display module (selecting the LCD1602 display module) and an audible and visual alarm.
[0051] The central processing unit and VM series vibrating wire professional reading module are installed inside the monitoring and early warning device body, while the independent button module, display module and audible and visual alarm are installed on the outer surface of the monitoring and early warning device body; the vibrating wire earth pressure sensor 5, VM series vibrating wire professional reading module, independent button module, central processing unit, display module and audible and visual alarm are respectively connected to the power supply circuit;
[0052] Before use, the monitoring and early warning device 3 first installs a vibrating wire earth pressure sensor 5 on the surrounding rock of the tunnel 1 to detect the earth pressure and generate an earth pressure frequency, which is then sent to the VM series vibrating wire professional reading module. The VM series vibrating wire professional reading module converts the earth pressure frequency into an electrical signal through excitation, shaping, amplification, filtering, and recognition, and inputs the electrical signal to the central processing unit. The earth pressure threshold is then input to the central processing unit via the rectangular button on the independent button module. The central processing unit compares the electrical signal frequency with the earth pressure threshold frequency and generates an output signal, which controls the display module to display the actual detected earth pressure value. At the same time, when the electrical signal frequency input to the central processing unit is greater than the preset earth pressure threshold frequency, the audible and visual alarm is activated (the audible and visual alarm includes a buzzer and a strobe light; the buzzer is used to emit an alarm sound to remind construction personnel to evacuate, and the strobe light continuously emits a flashing light to help construction personnel determine whether the alarm sound is emitted by the alarm and prevent misjudgment).
[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, the present invention provides a fixing device for fixing a monitoring and early warning device 3 to the surrounding rock 1 of a tunnel. The fixing device 4 includes a fixing claw 41, one end of which is equipped with multiple retractable claw bodies 411 for attaching a vibrating wire earth pressure sensor 5 to the surrounding rock 1 of the tunnel. The outer surface of the fixing claw 41 has multiple slots 412 for accommodating the claw bodies 411, and the claw bodies 411 are rotatably mounted on the sidewall of one end of the slots 412. Furthermore, the claw bodies 411 are L-shaped, allowing the longer portion of the claw body 411 to be rotatably stored in the slots 412 when not in use, facilitating transportation. The other end of the fixing claw 41 is fixedly equipped with a fixing rod 42, and U-shaped fixing plates 421 are symmetrically welded to both ends of the outer surface of the fixing rod 42. When installing the fixing device 4, the U-shaped fixing plate 421 can be welded to the steel arch frame erected inside the tunnel surrounding rock 1 to fix the fixing device 4 as a whole. The other end of the fixing rod 42 is equipped with a monitoring and early warning device box 44 through at least one connecting rod 43. The number of connecting rods 43 can be determined according to the thickness of the buried layer 2. The connecting rods 43 are used to install the monitoring and early warning device box 44 on the outside of the buried layer 2 to fix the monitoring and early warning device body, so that the construction personnel can control the monitoring and early warning device 3 and observe the soil pressure value. In addition, before the secondary lining construction, the monitoring and early warning device box 44 can be separated from the connecting rod 43 and reconnected to the connecting rod 43 of the newly arranged section point to achieve the purpose of reuse and reduce the cost of use.
[0054] Specifically, the fixing claw 41, fixing rod 42, and connecting rod 43 are all hollow rods, and the outer surface of the fixing claw 41 is provided with a wire hole 414, which facilitates the passage of the control cable of the vibrating wire earth pressure sensor 5 through the wire hole 414 into the inside of the fixing device 4, thus protecting the control cable. The end of the fixing claw 41 away from the claw body 411 is provided with a first-level internal thread 413, one end of the fixing rod 42 is provided with a first-level external thread 422 that matches the first-level internal thread 413, and the other end of the fixing rod 42 is provided with a second-level internal thread 423. One end of the connecting rod 43 is provided with a second-level external thread 431 that matches the second-level internal thread 423, and the other end of the connecting rod 43 is provided with a third-level internal thread 432. The fixing claw 41, fixing rod 42, and connecting rod 43 can be coaxially installed by means of threaded connection, and the number of fixing rods 42 and connecting rods 43 can be increased according to actual installation requirements.
[0055] Specifically, the monitoring and early warning device box 44 includes a box body 441. One end of the box body 441 has an opening. A connecting pipe 442 is installed at the end of the box body 441 away from the opening. The end of the connecting pipe 442 near the box body 441 extends through to the inner wall of the box body 441. The end of the connecting pipe 442 away from the box body 441 has a three-stage external thread 443. The three-stage external thread 443 matches the three-stage internal thread 432, which is used to thread the monitoring and early warning device box 44 onto the end of the connecting rod 43 for easy disassembly and installation.
[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, the present invention also provides a method for arranging a tunnel surrounding rock monitoring and early warning device, which can be fixedly installed on the tunnel surrounding rock 1 by a fixing device 4 for safety monitoring, specifically including the following steps:
[0057] Step 1: Initial support is provided for the surrounding rock 1 of the tunnel, and the vibrating wire earth pressure sensor 5 is installed on the surrounding rock 1 of the tunnel through the fixing device 4;
[0058] Specifically, firstly, a steel arch frame is erected on the surrounding rock 1 of the tunnel. Then, the vibrating wire earth pressure sensor 5 is installed on the claw body 411 of the fixed claw 41. The fixed claw 41, the fixed rod 42, and the connecting rod 43 are installed in sequence. Then, the vibrating wire earth pressure sensor 5 is attached tightly to the surrounding rock 1 of the tunnel. The control cable of the vibrating wire earth pressure sensor 5 is threaded through the wire hole 414 and then passes out from the inside of the fixed claw 41, the fixed rod 42, and the connecting rod 43 in sequence. Then, the U-shaped fixing plate 421 on the fixed rod 42 is welded to the steel arch frame for fixation. Finally, the end of the connecting rod 43 and the control cable are sealed with velvet.
[0059] Step 2: Install the vibrating wire earth pressure sensor 5 to form the installation layer 2;
[0060] Specifically, concrete is sprayed onto the surrounding rock 1 of the tunnel to embed the vibrating wire earth pressure sensor 5 and the steel arch frame, thereby forming an embedded layer 2 on the surrounding rock 1 of the tunnel to achieve the purpose of initial support.
[0061] Step 3: Install the main body of the monitoring and early warning device on the outside of the buried layer 2 through the fixing device 4, and establish a communication connection between the vibrating wire earth pressure sensor 5 and the main body of the monitoring and early warning device.
[0062] Specifically, first, remove the velvet cloth, and then insert the control cable into one end of the connecting pipe 442 of the monitoring and early warning device box 44, and then out from one end of the box body 441. Then, connect the vibrating wire earth pressure sensor 5 to the positive and negative cable interfaces reserved on the main body of the monitoring and early warning device through the control cable to establish a communication connection. Finally, install the main body of the monitoring and early warning device in the monitoring and early warning device box 44, and connect the main body of the monitoring and early warning device to the external power supply through the power supply circuit.
[0063] Step 4: Input the earth pressure threshold into the monitoring and early warning device.
[0064] Specifically, the earth pressure threshold is determined based on the vibrating wire earth pressure sensor, and the earth pressure threshold is input to the central processing unit through the rectangular button on the independent button module, thereby completing the overall layout and installation of the monitoring and early warning device 3, which can then be put into construction use; when the earth pressure frequency measured by the vibrating wire earth pressure sensor 5 exceeds the preset earth pressure threshold frequency, the audible and visual alarm will sound an alarm to remind construction personnel to evacuate the tunnel in time.
[0065] In this embodiment, the monitoring and early warning device 3 can measure earth pressure at high frequency and instantly determine whether the tunnel construction is safe when each measurement value is obtained. Compared with the previous intelligent acquisition box, it can instantly provide feedback to the construction personnel and protect their safety at the first time. At the same time, compared with the monitoring system deployed by the network fiber optic, it can reduce the cost of use.
[0066] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
