This embodiment includes three stages: vacuum grouting stage: start the vacuum pump to suck the air and moisture in the steel pipe cage to form a negative pressure environment, and then inject magnetic slurry and microbial slurry into the composite grouting conduit 5 through the dual-liquid synchronous grouting machine 7; dynamic anchoring stage: the slurry pressure drives the retractable support assembly 42 to expand, and cooperates with the magnetic grid to form a three-dimensional anchoring structure; intelligent control: the distributed monitoring system 8 adjusts the grouting rate and ultrasonic parameters in real time to ensure the reinforcement effect.

[0019] Preferably, the telescopic support assembly 42 comprises a sliding sleeve 422, an articulated expandable support rod 423 and a telescopic guide tube 424, the top of the telescopic guide tube 424 is welded with a limited top block 421, and the bottom is blocked; Under non-grouting conditions, the limiting top block 421 is flush with the top of the guide chute 412, and the expandable support rod 423 is in a retracted state; Under grouting conditions, the slurry pressure drives the telescopic support assembly 42 to move down along the guide slot 412. After the limit top block 421 is aligned with the bottom end of the slot, the sliding sleeve 422 triggers the deployable support rod 423 to form a three-dimensional anchoring structure. In this embodiment, the telescopic support assembly 42 includes: the sliding sleeve 422 is sleeved on the outer wall of the telescopic guide tube 424, and is connected to the deployable support rod 423 through a hinge mechanism; the limit top block 421 is welded to the top of the telescopic guide tube 424, and is flush with the top of the guide slot 412 when not grouting, and moves down to trigger the support rod to be deployed during grouting; under non-grouting conditions: the support rod 423 is retracted, the device is buried in the formation, and the formation reaction force is transmitted to the steel pipe cage through the limit top block 421; under grouting conditions: the slurry pressure drives the telescopic guide tube 424 to move down along the guide slot 412, and the sliding sleeve 422 triggers the support rod 423 to be deployed, forming an anchor claw structure to enhance the pull-out resistance.

When the support rod 423 is deployed, the compensating grouting hole 425 moves with the telescopic guide tube 424, continuously releasing the magnetic slurry to penetrate the coral sand pores and prevent the stratum from loosening.

[0021] Preferably, the ultrasonic resonance generator 12 is integrated inside the hollow steel tube cage 9, and its frequency, power and action time are dynamically adjusted according to the porosity of the coral sand and the fluidity of the slurry.

The pressure sensor monitors the grouting pressure, the displacement sensor detects the anchor displacement, and the system dynamically adjusts the grouting rate through the PID algorithm.

During grouting, the grout diffuses to the surroundings through the radial grouting holes 411, and together with the deployed support rods 423, forms a "grout-mechanical" composite anchoring structure, and the pullout resistance is increased by more than 40%.

[0026] In addition, the present invention also discloses a construction method for a device for reinforcing a seabed coral sand and reef limestone foundation, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Investigate the stability of the seabed foundation and design the layout of the protective device; Step 2: bury the hollow steel pipe cage 9 in the target foundation to wrap the area to be reinforced; Step 3: Pour special magnetic slurry 10 into the hollow steel tube cage 9, and adsorb it on the magnetic enhancement grid 8 to form a closed environment; Step 4: After evacuating to a predetermined vacuum degree, the specially prepared magnetic slurry 10 and the microbial slurry 11 are simultaneously injected to fill the pores and generate cementing substances; Step 5: Start the ultrasonic resonance generator 12 to promote the reaction, and let it stand to solidify; Step 6: Monitor and adjust reinforcement parameters in real time through the distributed monitoring system 8.

[0027] Furthermore, nanomaterials are added to the slurry during the grouting process. The nanomaterials include nanoclay or nanosilica, and the amount added is optimized according to the reinforcement requirements; the degree of vacuuming, grouting rate and slurry composition are dynamically adjusted according to the formation differences. In this embodiment, 5%-10% nanosilica is first added to the slurry to fill the micron-level pores and improve the impermeability by 50%; for reef limestone, the grouting rate is reduced, such as 0.5L / min, and the vacuum degree is increased to -100kPa.
