Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of tunnel support technology, and relates to a universal connection node, a steel pipe arch support system, and a construction method. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing depth of coal mining, the pressure in mine roadways becomes more intense, making deep mine roadway support and soft rock roadway support critical issues that urgently need to be addressed. Currently, U-shaped steel metal supports are widely used in coal mine roadway support. In actual engineering, U-shaped steel supports often slip at the joints between adjacent segments. Furthermore, because U-shaped steel supports cannot be connected longitudinally, their overall stability is poor. For large-section coal mine roadways or when the surrounding rock pressure is high, this type of support structure faces the problem of insufficient load-bearing capacity. Summary of the Invention

The first disc connector has a first central hole at its center and is fixed to a steel pipe arch support through the first central hole. The second disc connector has a second central hole at its center and is fixed to a longitudinal connecting steel pipe connecting two steel pipe arch supports through the second central hole. The first disc connector has a first connecting rod, and the second disc connector has a second connecting rod.

The side walls of the first disc connector and the second disc connector are provided with slots. The two ends of the oblique connecting steel pipe are respectively inserted into different slots of the universal joint on two adjacent steel pipe arch supports to achieve oblique support at different angles.
[0005] Furthermore, the first disc connector and the second disc connector have the same structure, both including a disc-shaped upper hub and a disc-shaped lower hub connected by screws. The side wall of the disc-shaped upper hub is provided with multiple threaded holes communicating with the central hole, and the side wall of the disc-shaped lower hub is provided with slots.
[0006] Furthermore, one end of the first connecting rod is connected to the disc-shaped lower hub of the first disc connector, and the other end of the first connecting rod has a threaded hole at its center and a toothed structure at its edge; one end of the second connecting rod is connected to the disc-shaped lower hub of the second disc connector, and the other end of the second connecting rod has a sleeve; the connecting bolt passes through the sleeve and engages with the threaded hole of the first connecting rod to lock the first and second connecting rods; a toothed structure is also provided at the connection between the sleeve and the first connecting rod.
[0007] The present invention also provides a steel pipe arch support system, including multiple steel pipe arch supports, connecting nodes, multiple longitudinal connecting steel pipes, and multiple oblique connecting steel pipes; adjacent steel pipe arch supports are connected by multiple longitudinal connecting steel pipes and multiple oblique connecting steel pipes; the connecting nodes adopt the above-mentioned universal connecting nodes, and the two ends of the oblique connecting steel pipes are respectively inserted into different slots of the universal connecting nodes on the two adjacent steel pipe arch supports to achieve oblique support at different angles.
[0008] The present invention also provides a steel pipe arch support system, comprising:
[0009] Step 1: Fit the first disc connector of the universal joint onto the corresponding steel pipe arc segment, and assemble multiple steel pipe arc segments into multiple steel pipe arch supports;
[0010] Step 2: Fit the two second disc connectors onto a longitudinal connecting steel pipe, and connect the two adjacent steel pipe arch supports through the longitudinal connecting steel pipe;
[0011] Step 3: Connect the second connecting rod of the second disc connector to the first connecting rod of the corresponding first disc connector using a tongue and groove tooth structure, and tighten it with connecting bolts.
[0012] Step 4: Rotate the locking bolts from the threaded holes on the side wall of the disc-shaped upper hub into the center hole to tighten the corresponding steel pipe arch support and longitudinal connecting steel pipe, thus completing the assembly and fixing of multiple universal connection nodes;
[0013] Step 5: Insert both ends of the diagonal connecting steel pipe into different slots of the universal joint on the arched support of two adjacent steel pipes to achieve diagonal support at different angles.
[0014] The universal joint, steel pipe arch support system, and construction method of the present invention have at least the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. The steel pipe arch support system of the present invention is a closed type, which has a higher load-bearing capacity compared with the semi-closed U-shaped steel support.
