[0002] During tunnel construction, it is necessary to promptly investigate the geological conditions ahead in order to improve construction measures to cope with the changing geological conditions ahead. Especially in working conditions with poor surrounding rock conditions, advanced geological forecasting is particularly important for optimizing construction plans and avoiding construction risks.

[0003] Advanced horizontal drilling is the most commonly used and direct method of advanced geological prediction. Horizontal drilling is carried out by advanced horizontal drilling rigs. The surrounding rock is cored at the same time. After the depth is calibrated, the core is sent to the laboratory for testing to obtain important geological parameters such as the uniaxial compressive strength and RQD of the surrounding rock.

[0004] Conventional coring construction methods are difficult to coring and inefficient. The impact drill bit destroys and disturbs the surrounding rock, causing the core to be broken and the coring rate is low, making it impossible to obtain complete advanced horizontal drilling data. The core is heavy, difficult to transport and store, and is easily damaged or misnumbered during transportation, resulting in a large workload and low efficiency. Core samples are not convenient to review, and important geological data lacks a visual and information-based management method. Summary of the invention
