[0002] During the construction and operation of railway projects, especially when passing through complex geological conditions such as soft and broken strata (such as carbonaceous slate, carbonaceous phyllite and chlorite schist), the stability of tunnels and slopes is particularly prominent. These strata are very prone to rapid and large-scale deformation after excavation disturbance due to the loose and broken rock mass and poor self-stability, leading to a series of serious problems such as concrete cracking and falling, steel frame twisting and breaking, arch uplift, support deformation and limit intrusion.

[0028] In this embodiment, the supporting portion 53 includes a sleeve 531, and the middle tube wall of the sleeve 531 is provided with a radial sliding hole 5311 corresponding to the supporting piece 4, and a supporting column 532 slides through the sliding hole 5311, and the outer end of the supporting column 532 is fixedly connected to the supporting piece 4, and the inner tube walls at both ends of the sleeve 531 are respectively arranged with two one-way slots 533; that is, the outer end of the supporting column 532 is fixed to the middle part of the supporting piece 4, and the supporting piece 4 is fixed to the concave shell part 312 through the welding rod 313, and the supporting column 532 slides through the sliding hole 5311, and at the same time, it has a limiting effect on the sleeve 531; therefore, when the supporting column 532 moves radially outward, the outer end of the supporting column 532 pushes the supporting piece 4 to move outward, and the supporting piece 4 pushes the concave shell part 312 to expand outward, which can promote the expansion tube 3 to expand.

[0031] In this embodiment, a receiving cone cavity 5225 is provided at the center of the head end of the second transmission sleeve 522, and the receiving cone cavity 5225 is communicated with the third sliding slot 5231, so that the two conical top blocks 523 can be more fully engaged and moved.

[0032] In this embodiment, the driving part 51 includes a sliding sleeve 511 which is slidably connected to the grouting rod 1, and the outer shell wall of the sliding sleeve 511 is installed with an elastic top column 512 which corresponds to the sliding seam 2 41 and is radially arranged, and the end of the sliding sleeve 511 is connected and fixed to the tail end of the transmission sleeve 1 521; wherein, the elastic top column 512 can elastically expand and contract radially, and when the elastic top column 512 is compressed and contracted, the outer end of the elastic top column 512 can be located in the concave cavity of the concave shell part 312, so that the expansion anchor device can be smoothly installed in the borehole 9, and when it is installed After completion, the elastic top column 512 is acted upon by elastic force to radially push against the wall of the borehole 9 and can have a radial stretching effect. Therefore, when the texture structure of the borehole 9 area changes, it can be transmitted to the elastic top column 512 in time, thereby driving the elastic top column 512 to move axially, and the elastic top column 512 will drive the sliding sleeve 511 to move, and the sliding sleeve 511 will drive the transmission sleeve 521 to move axially, prompting the expansion tube 3 to expand, so that the expansion tube 3 is fully contacted and fixed with the wall of the borehole 9.

[0036] In this embodiment, an anchor head 6 is installed at the end of the grouting rod 1 extending into the borehole 9, and the end of the grouting pipe 1 away from the borehole 9 is fixed at the mouth of the borehole 9 through an external end seat 8, and an internal fixed section 7 for solidified slurry is formed between the sealing section 2 near the bottom of the borehole 9 and the bottom of the borehole 9.

[0037] During the specific implementation, the elastic top column 512 is pressed so that the outer end of the elastic top column 512 is in the concave cavity of the concave shell portion 312, and then gradually embedded in the borehole 9. After the embedding is completed, the outer end seat 8 is installed to fix the grouting rod 1, and then the grouting rod 1 is used to inject grout into the bottom of the borehole 9 to form the inner fixed section 7. If the texture structure of the borehole 9 area changes, the driving part 51 can be triggered, and the driving part 51 drives the transmission part 52 to trigger the top support part 53, so as to realize the outward expansion of the expansion tube 3.
