Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of tunnel construction technology, specifically relating to a collapse prevention support system and method for tunnel construction. Background Technology
[0002] Tunnel construction can be mainly divided into two methods: the manual mining method and the mechanical shield tunneling method. Currently, urban subway sections are mainly constructed using the shield tunneling method, while most other tunnels still rely on the manual mining method. With tunnel construction facing complex geological conditions, surface environments, and increasing labor costs, the mechanization level of mining construction urgently needs improvement. Mining construction is particularly difficult in conditions of weak surrounding rock. To ensure construction safety and effectively control surrounding rock deformation, weak surrounding rock requires advanced reinforcement or support methods such as grouting, pipe roofs, pipe curtains, and horizontal jet grouting. These advanced reinforcement or support measures, as temporary support measures, cannot be included in the stress calculation as part of the lining structure. Pipe roofs used for advanced support cannot be reused, and equipment needs to be repeatedly removed and installed to facilitate the smooth alternation between advanced support and tunnel excavation. This not only increases project costs but also significantly extends the construction period.
[0003] To this end, patent specification CN104847393B discloses a mobile support structure for tunnels and a tunnel construction method under its protection. The mobile support structure is composed of multiple interlocking boxes that conform to the outer contour of the tunnel, with a rearward-extending shield at the rear of each box. Under the protection of the mobile support structure consisting of the interlocking boxes and their rear shields, tunnel excavation and lining can be carried out safely and quickly.
[0004] However, this type of mobile tunnel support structure still has shortcomings. Its support structure design is not reasonable enough, the bearing pressure cannot be effectively distributed, and the anti-collapse effect is not ideal. Therefore, it needs to be optimized and improved. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned problems existing in the conventional technology and to provide a collapse prevention support system and method for tunnel construction.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives and effects, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution:
[0007] This invention provides a collapse prevention support system for tunnel construction, the collapse prevention support system comprising:
[0008] The outer support ring is composed of several arc-shaped support boxes arranged in a circular array. Two first arc-shaped limiting plates are symmetrically fixed on the inner side of the arc-shaped support boxes.
[0009] The inner support ring is composed of several arc-shaped support plates arranged in a ring array. Two second arc-shaped limiting plates are symmetrically fixed on the outer surface of the arc-shaped support plates. The outer surface of the second arc-shaped limiting plate abuts against the inner surface of the corresponding first arc-shaped limiting plate. A connecting end plate is provided on the inner surface of the second arc-shaped limiting plate near both ends. Two adjacent first arc-shaped limiting plates are fixedly connected by a first bolt that passes through the connecting end plate.
[0010] There are two external supports, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lower part of the outer support ring. The external supports are fixed to the foundation by anchor rods and are used to provide auxiliary support for the outer support ring.
[0011] Furthermore, in the aforementioned anti-collapse support system for tunnel construction, the inner side shape of the first arc-shaped limiting plate matches the outer side shape of the arc-shaped support plate, and the outer side shape of the second arc-shaped limiting plate matches the inner side shape of the arc-shaped support box.
[0012] Furthermore, in the aforementioned anti-collapse support system for tunnel construction, the arc-shaped support plate, the second arc-shaped limiting plate, and the connecting end plate are an integral structure, and the connecting end plate has an internal through hole that mates with the first bolt.
[0013] Furthermore, in the aforementioned anti-collapse support system for tunnel construction, the two first arc-shaped limiting plates in the arc-shaped support box and the two second arc-shaped limiting plates in the corresponding arc-shaped support plate are fixedly connected by second bolts. The first arc-shaped limiting plate is provided with a first external through hole that mates with the second bolt, and the second arc-shaped limiting plate is provided with a second external through hole that mates with the second bolt.
[0014] Furthermore, in the aforementioned anti-collapse support system for tunnel construction, the outer support is composed of a horizontal plate and a first vertical plate and a second vertical plate at both ends. The horizontal plate has anchor holes that cooperate with anchor rods. The upper end of the first vertical plate has a first support surface, and the upper end of the second vertical plate has a second support surface.
[0015] Furthermore, in the aforementioned anti-collapse support system for tunnel construction, the distance between the first vertical plate portion of the two outer supports is equal to the inner diameter of the outer support ring, and the distance between the second vertical plate portion of the two outer supports is equal to the inner radius of the inner support ring.
[0016] Furthermore, in the aforementioned anti-collapse support system for tunnel construction, the first support surface and the second support surface are arc-shaped surfaces that cooperate with the outer support ring, and the two sides of the arc-shaped surface are provided with stops to prevent axial displacement of the outer support ring.
[0017] Furthermore, in the aforementioned anti-collapse support system for tunnel construction, the anti-collapse support system also includes an annular airbag belt with an inflation head, and the area between two second arc-shaped limiting plates on the outer side of the arc-shaped support plate serves as the airbag belt installation area.
[0018] Furthermore, in the aforementioned anti-collapse support system for tunnel construction, the inflation head is located inside the annular airbag belt, and one of the arc-shaped support plates has an outlet hole for easily introducing the inflation head into the inner cavity area of the inner support ring.
[0019] This invention also provides a method for preventing collapse during tunnel construction. This method is based on the aforementioned anti-collapse support system and specifically includes the following steps:
[0020] 1) Fix the positions of the two external supports in the area to be supported according to the design values;
[0021] 2) Install the arc-shaped support box on the outside of the arc-shaped support plate;
[0022] 3) Fix adjacent arc-shaped support plates in sequence to splice them to form an inner support ring. At this time, the arc-shaped support box is also connected to form an outer support ring. The outer support ring, inner support ring and outer support together constitute the anti-collapse support system.
[0023] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0024] The present invention has a reasonable structural design, which is mainly composed of an outer support ring, an inner support ring and an outer support. The inner support ring enables the rapid assembly of the outer support ring, and the outer support facilitates the rapid distribution of the force on the top of the outer support ring, thereby improving its support effect. An annular airbag belt can be added between the outer support ring and the inner support ring to further improve its support capacity.
[0025] Of course, any product implementing this invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the above advantages at the same time. Attached Figure Description
