Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of TBM construction, and particularly relates to a method for continuous tunneling and advanced support of broken surrounding rock. Background Technique

[0002] It is inevitable to encounter broken surrounding rock during tunnel construction. During the construction of a full-face tunnel boring machine (TBM), it is necessary to timely check the advanced geological forecast, and give a briefing on the advanced geological forecast to the on-site technical duty personnel and the full-face tunnel boring machine team in a timely manner for the sections with poor surrounding rock. Pay attention to the broken parts of the surrounding rock in advance and take measures to adapt to the adverse geology such as broken surrounding rock in advance. When encountering adverse geology such as broken surrounding rock, corresponding measures should be taken for construction to ensure that the shield is exposed in time for support in the broken section, and closed into a ring to avoid long-term exposure of the rock and ensure the safety of tunnel construction. If the surrounding rock conditions in front of the full-face tunnel boring machine are poor based on the feedback of the muck classification model, or the full-face tunnel boring machine jamming risk warning model continuously predicts a medium-high risk jamming risk value, it is very likely that the phenomenon of surrounding rock falling and collapse will occur, which will cause the full-face tunnel boring machine jamming disaster. Timely carrying out advanced support of the full-face tunnel boring machine to reinforce the surrounding rock can greatly reduce the risk of large deformation and the risk of the full-face tunnel boring machine jamming.

[0003] The traditional reinforcement method is mostly to directly spray concrete into the weak and broken surrounding rock area in front of the tunneling, and wait for the concrete to solidify before carrying out the grouting reinforcement operation. Since the location of this area belongs to a fault, there is a risk of surrounding rock falling and collapse at any time, and this method cannot guarantee the construction safety during the shotcrete operation. Therefore, the present application provides a method for continuous tunneling and advanced support of broken surrounding rock. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the technical problems raised in the above background technique, the present invention provides a method for continuous tunneling and advanced support of broken surrounding rock.

[0005] The present invention is realized by the following technical solutions: A method for continuous tunneling and advanced support of broken surrounding rock, including the following steps:

Use the advanced shotcrete system of the TBM tunneling machine to conduct initial spraying on the surrounding rock. When the concrete solidifies, the TBM tunnels again until the broken section reaches the shotcrete bridge of the TBM tunneling machine, and then grout the broken zone through the grouting pipes for reinforcement.

[0008] As a further improvement of the above solution, in step S2, a plurality of radially distributed anchor holes are reserved on the inner wall of the broken rock layer on the outer peripheral side of the steel arch in the bending span direction of the steel arch.

A positioning groove that communicates with the through hole and is in an enlarged hole shape is provided on the inner peripheral side of the steel arch. The positioning block is in snap-fit with the positioning groove.

[0013] As a further improvement of the above solution, a blind plug adapted to the aperture of the anchor hole is sleeved on the outer side of the anchor rod, and a sealing ring is provided around the outer peripheral side of the blind plug.

[0014] As a further improvement of the above solution, the blind plug is in a ring structure. An annular groove is provided on the outer peripheral side of the blind plug.

An oil pressure medium is accommodated in the pressurized area. Two plug grooves communicating with the annular groove are oppositely provided in the blind plug. A piston is provided in the plug groove. An adjusting mechanism is provided in the positioning block. When the screw rod rotates and is screwed into the threaded hole, the adjusting mechanism can push the piston in the plug groove towards the annular groove direction, so that the sealing ring is pressurized and expands and deforms to block the anchor hole.

[0015] As a further improvement of the above solution, the adjusting mechanism includes two insertion rods parallel to the axial direction of the slurry supply pipe. The two insertion rods are relatively inserted on the end face of the slurry supply pipe close to the anchor hole. A jack for the insertion rod to insert is provided on the blind plug.

The advanced shotcrete system of the TBM tunneling machine is used to conduct initial shotcreting on the surrounding rock. When the concrete solidifies, the TBM tunnels again until the broken section reaches the shotcrete bridge of the TBM tunneling machine, and then the broken zone is grouted and reinforced through the grouting pipe.

[0037] Embodiment 2

[0038] Please combine with Figures 2 to 8 In step S2 of Embodiment 1, a plurality of radially distributed anchor holes 4 are reserved on the inner wall of the broken rock layer 1 on the outer peripheral side of the steel arch 3 along the bending span direction of the steel arch 3. A bolt 5 is inserted into each anchor hole 4, and a pipe hole for a grouting pipe 6 to penetrate and insert to communicate with the anchor hole 4 is provided inside the rod body of the bolt 5.

[0039] A through hole 9 through which the grouting pipe 6 can pass is formed in the steel arch 3, and a slurry supply pipe 10 is inserted into the through hole 9. The output end of the slurry supply pipe 10 can be hermetically sleeved on the input end of the grouting pipe 6.

[0040] A locking device is provided on the slurry supply pipe 10. When the slurry supply pipe 10 is sleeved on the grouting pipe 6, the locking device can simultaneously lock and fix the slurry supply pipe 10 and the grouting pipe 6, and the slurry supply pipe 10 and the steel arch 3.

[0041] The locking device includes a positioning plate 13. The positioning plate 13 is sleeved and fixed on the outer peripheral side of the slurry supply pipe 10. A rod hole is formed in the positioning plate 13, and a screw rod 27 is inserted into the rod hole. A screw hole 28 matched with the screw rod 27 is formed on the inner peripheral side wall of the steel arch 3.

[0042] Two positioning blocks 12 are relatively fixed on the outer peripheral side of the slurry supply pipe 10. A positioning groove 11 which is communicated with the through hole 9 and is in an enlarged hole shape is formed on the inner peripheral side of the steel arch 3. The positioning blocks 12 are in clamping fit with the positioning groove 11.

[0043] A blind plug 7 adapted to the aperture of the anchor hole 4 is sleeved outside the bolt. A sealing ring 8 is provided around the outer peripheral side of the blind plug 7.

[0044] The blind plug 7 is in a ring structure. An annular groove 21 is formed on the outer peripheral side of the blind plug 7. The sealing ring 8 is arranged at the notch of the annular groove 21 to completely cover the notch of the annular groove 21. A pressurized area is formed between the sealing ring 8 and the annular groove 21, and an oil pressure medium is accommodated in the pressurized area. Two plug grooves 22 communicating with the annular groove 21 are relatively formed in the blind plug 7. A piston 24 is arranged in the plug groove 22. An adjusting mechanism is arranged in the positioning block 12. When the screw rod 27 rotates and is screwed into the screw hole 28, the adjusting mechanism can push the piston 24 in the plug groove 22 towards the annular groove 21, so that the sealing ring 8 is pressurized and expands and deforms to block the anchor hole 4.

[0045] The adjusting mechanism includes two insertion rods 17 parallel to the axial direction of the slurry supply pipe 10. The two insertion rods 17 are relatively inserted on the end face of the slurry supply pipe 10 close to the anchor hole 4. A jack 18 for the insertion rod 17 to insert is formed on the blind plug 7. A sliding groove 19 is formed in the blind plug 7, and a transmission plate 20 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 19; the side of the transmission plate 20 close to the plug groove 22 is connected with the piston 24 through a connecting rod 23, and the other side is in contact and cooperation with the insertion rod 17.

[0046] A spring is sleeved outside the connecting rod 23, and two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the groove wall of the plug groove 22 and the outer wall of the piston 24.

[0047] A synchronous plate 25 is connected below the positioning plate 13 through a telescopic rod. A push rod 14 parallel to the axial direction of the slurry supply pipe 10 is slidably inserted on the positioning block 12. A transmission rod 16 perpendicular to the push rod 14 is horizontally slidably arranged in the positioning block 12. One end of the transmission rod 16 close to the push rod 14 has a first slope in contact and cooperation with the push rod 14, and the bottom of the insertion rod 17 has a second slope in contact and cooperation with the other end of the transmission rod 16; the bottom of the push rod 14 penetrates through the positioning plate 13 and is fixed to the top of the synchronous plate 25.

[0048] In this embodiment, during the advanced support period, after the steel arch 3 is erected, a plurality of anchor holes 4 are drilled in the inner wall of the broken rock layer 1 along the bending span direction of the steel arch 3, and anchor rods 5 with blind plugs 7 are inserted into the respective anchor holes 4.

[0049] Before grouting reinforcement is required in the later stage, the grouting pipe 6 is sequentially passed through the positioning groove 11 and the through hole 9 of the steel arch 3 to be inserted into the pipe hole of the anchor rod 5. Subsequently, the output end of the slurry supply pipe 10 is docked with the input end of the grouting pipe 6 by using the positioning block 12 and the positioning groove 11, and the insertion rod 17 is kept in a just-touching state between the insertion hole 18 and the transmission plate 20. Subsequently, the screw rod 27 is rotated and screwed into the screw hole 28 to complete the locking and fixing between the slurry supply pipe 10 and the grouting pipe 6 and between the slurry supply pipe 10 and the steel arch 3. Under the movement action of the rotation and screwing of the screw rod 27 and with the limiting action of the telescopic rod, the synchronous plate 25 follows the screw rod 27 and translates in the direction close to the positioning plate 13, driving the push rod 14 to press the first slope at one end of the transmission rod 16, so that the other end of the transmission rod 16 presses the second slope of the insertion rod 17, and then the insertion rod 17 moves to apply pressure to the synchronous plate 25, driving the piston 24 to move in the plug groove 22 in the direction of the annular groove 21 through the connecting rod 23, so that the sealing ring 8 is pressurized and expands and deforms to effectively block the anchor hole 4.

[0050] During grouting reinforcement, the slurry supply pipe 10 is connected to the advanced shotcrete system of the TBM tunneling machine through a pipeline to complete the grouting reinforcement operation.

[0051] The above embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art on the basis of the present invention belong to the scope of protection required by the present invention.
