Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of support technology for mining and tunnel engineering, and in particular to a high-strength, stable, energy-absorbing anchor cable and its support method. Background Technology

[0002] As shallow resources gradually deplete, the development of deep mineral resources has become an important direction of the national energy strategy. However, the high ground stress environment faced by deep mining causes severe deformation of the surrounding rock in the tunnels, and existing support technologies are difficult to adapt to such complex conditions. The elongation rate of traditional anchor cables is usually only 3.5%-7%, and they are prone to brittle fracture under continuous high stress. Even if the total elongation rate of new high-elongation anchor cables is increased to 8.1%, it still cannot meet the large deformation requirements of deep tunnels, which often exceed 10%. Conventional anchor cables experience a sharp drop in bearing capacity after reaching peak strength under load, and lack the ability to maintain constant support resistance under geological tectonic activity or mining-induced stress disturbances, resulting in low efficiency of coordinated deformation between the surrounding rock and the support system. Existing pressure relief devices mostly rely on a single energy-absorbing element (such as a plastic deformation structure or friction pair), which has low energy dissipation efficiency and is prone to failure due to coal and rock debris contamination or cumulative damage. For example, the friction resistance of a conical friction constant resistance device is significantly unstable due to environmental influences, and while shear pin energy-absorbing devices can accurately control the pressure relief threshold, they cannot be reused. Furthermore, traditional constant-resistance structures generally lack an intelligent conversion mechanism from "flexible yielding" to "rigid bearing," making it difficult to form a high-strength anchoring system after the yielding stage. How to achieve coordinated control between high preload application and large deformation adaptation has become a pressing technical challenge in the field of deep tunnel support. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a high-strength, stable, energy-absorbing anchor cable and its support method. By installing a steel sleeve at the end of the anchor cable and setting a movable anchor and steel ball therein, an effective constant resistance and pressure relief function is achieved under high stress and large deformation conditions, thereby improving the safety and stability of roadway support.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, in a first aspect, the present invention provides a high-strength, stable, energy-absorbing anchor cable, comprising:

[0005] Anchor cable body;

[0006] A steel sleeve is fitted onto the outer side of the end of the anchor cable body, and the steel sleeve has an inner cavity;

[0007] An anchor is slidably disposed within the inner cavity of a steel sleeve, and the anchor is connected to the end of the anchor cable body;

[0008] The steel balls are located in the annular space between the inner wall of the steel sleeve and the outer wall of the anchor.

[0009] Anchorage ring, located at the end of the steel sleeve, and the other end is fixed on the surrounding rock;

[0010] When the anchor body is tensioned to a set stress, the anchor extrudes the steel ball to move axially along the steel sleeve until the anchor is embedded in the anchor ring.

[0011] Beneficial effect: By sliding the anchor in the steel sleeve and extruding the steel ball, the constant resistance and pressure relief function of the anchor cable under high stress is realized, effectively absorbing the deformation energy of the surrounding rock, and converting into rigid support after the anchor is embedded in the anchor ring, improving the adaptability and safety of the support structure. This structural design enables the anchor cable to realize constant resistance and pressure relief function under high stress and large deformation environment, effectively absorbing and releasing the surrounding rock pressure, protecting the main body from damage, while after the anchor is embedded in the anchor ring, it can also be converted into a conventional anchor cable to continue to play a supporting role, improving the adaptability and reliability of the anchor cable.

[0012] Further, the steel ball is provided with two rows, divided into front row steel ball and rear row steel ball, wherein the diameter of the front row steel ball is larger than that of the rear row steel ball, and the two rows of steel balls are arranged in sequence along the moving direction of the anchor.

[0013] Beneficial effect: By setting two rows of steel balls with different diameters, the front row of large diameter steel balls provides initial resistance, and the rear row of small diameter steel balls maintains subsequent stability, achieving more precise resistance control and improving constant resistance effect.

[0014] Further, the outer wall of the anchor is provided with an annular groove, and the front row of steel balls is partially embedded in the annular groove, and the rear row of steel balls is in contact with the outer wall of the anchor.

[0015] Beneficial effect: The annular groove fixes the front row of steel balls to prevent them from falling off during movement, and the rear row of steel balls in contact with the outer wall of the anchor increases the friction force, further improving the stability of the resistance.

[0016] Further, the anchor ring is provided with a through hole in the center, and one end of the anchor body passes through the through hole on the anchor ring, and a gap is left between the through hole and the anchor body, and the outer contour of the anchor is matched with the gap.

[0017] Beneficial effect: The design of the through hole and the gap ensures that the anchor can be smoothly embedded in the anchor ring to realize the locking function and complete the smooth transition from constant resistance and pressure relief to rigid support.

[0018] Further, the hardness of the steel ball is higher than that of the inner wall of the steel sleeve and the outer wall of the anchor.

[0019] Beneficial effect: The steel ball with higher hardness than the inner wall of the steel sleeve and the outer wall of the anchor can cut or deform the inner wall of the sleeve during movement, ensuring the constancy of resistance and improving the energy absorption efficiency.

[0020] Further, the end of the steel sleeve is expanded to form a flared section corresponding to the installation position of the anchor ring.

[0021] Beneficial effect: improves the stability between the steel sleeve and the anchor ring.

[0022] Further, the depth of the annular groove is 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the diameter of the front row of steel balls.

[0023] Beneficial effect: the appropriate groove depth not only ensures the stability of the steel balls, but also allows necessary movement, ensuring the flexibility and stability of the anchor cable under high stress conditions.

[0024] Further, the second aspect of the present application also provides a supporting method based on the high-strength stable resistance energy-absorbing anchor cable of any one of the first aspect, comprising the following steps:

[0025] S1. Drilling a hole in the surrounding rock and inserting the anchor cable body, with the steel sleeve located at the hole;

[0026] S2, apply initial pretightening force to compress the steel balls to generate constant resistance;

[0027] S3, when the surrounding rock deforms and causes the anchor cable to be pulled, the anchor drives the steel balls to slide along the steel sleeve to absorb energy;

[0028] S4, the anchor is locked when it moves to the anchor ring position, and becomes a rigid support state.

[0029] Beneficial effect: the supporting method provided by the present application realizes the dynamic conversion of constant resistance energy absorption and rigid support of the anchor cable in a high stress and large deformation environment, ensuring the stability and safety of the anchor cable, not only simplifying the construction steps, but also effectively absorbing energy in practical application, protecting the surrounding rock from damage, and improving the reliability and durability of the support.

[0030] Further, the initial pretightening force in step S2 is 20%-30% of the breaking strength of the anchor cable, and the pretightening force error controlled by the torque wrench is ≤5%.

[0031] Beneficial effect: by accurately controlling the initial pretightening force, the anchor cable is ensured to be in the best working state after installation, improving the reliability and consistency of the supporting effect.

[0032] Further, in step S3, the constant resistance F generated by the sliding of the steel balls satisfies:

[0033] F = n·μ·P

[0034] Wherein, n is the number of rows of steel balls, μ is the friction coefficient between the steel balls and the sleeve, and P is the normal pressure of a single row of steel balls.

[0035] Further, after the anchor fitting is embedded in the anchor fitting ring in step S4, the elongation of the anchor cable is increased to 8%-12%, and the residual supporting force is greater than or equal to 90% of the initial constant resistance.

[0036] In summary, compared with the prior art, the high-strength stable-resistance energy-absorbing anchor cable of the present application can realize high-strength, stable and constant-resistance energy-absorbing functions in a high-stress and large-deformation environment. Through the synergistic effect of the anchor cable body, the steel sleeve, the anchor fitting, the steel ball and the anchor fitting ring, the anchor cable can not only absorb the deformation energy of the surrounding rock, but also convert into rigid support when necessary, significantly improving the safety and adaptability of deep roadway support. In addition, by adjusting the material and structural parameters, customized requirements of different constant resistances can be realized, further serving the high-stress and large-deformation roadway support work in deep resource mining.
