Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of tunnel and underground engineering construction technology, and in particular to an integrated pile-anchor support structure for the end wall of a shallow buried tunnel. Background Technology
[0002] When constructing tunnels using the shallow-buried cut-and-cover method, the tunnel portal section is one of the most complex and risky parts in terms of stress transformation. In order to prevent the soil at the portal from collapsing and to ensure the safety of subsequent tunnel excavation, a sturdy end wall (or "reaction wall" or "retaining wall") is usually constructed on the inside of the portal.
[0003] Traditional end walls often employ large-volume reinforced concrete structures. While these structures are stable, they suffer from several significant drawbacks: First, they require extensive steel reinforcement, formwork erection, and concrete pouring, resulting in lengthy curing times and severely impacting construction progress. Second, once completed, traditional structures are difficult to adjust and cannot be dynamically optimized based on actual geological conditions. Furthermore, the fixed angles of support components such as anchor bolts prevent them from always being in optimal stress states. In existing structures, connections between various support components (such as piles, beams, and frames) are often welded or simply bolted, leading to poor joint performance and difficulty in rapid installation and disassembly. Steel arches, micropiles, and anchor bolts often fail to form a highly coordinated overall stress system, resulting in inadequate structural performance.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an integrated pile-anchor support structure for the end walls of shallow-buried tunnels to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0030] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0031] Reference Figures 1-5 This invention provides an integrated pile-anchor support structure for the end wall of a shallow-buried, mined tunnel, comprising:
[0032] Steel arch frame 1 is fixedly connected to the end wall;
[0033] Multiple micropiles 2 are arranged axially at equal intervals along the outline of the steel arch frame 1, and all micropiles 2 are inserted into the ground to form a pile wall.
[0034] The connecting structure is installed on the pile wall along the axial direction. The connecting structure includes several first connecting members and several second connecting members. The first connecting members are detachably connected to the micropile 2, and the first connecting member located on the outermost side is detachably connected to the steel arch frame 1. The second connecting members are installed between two adjacent first connecting members.
[0035] The support structure includes adjustable support components and limiting components. The adjustable support components are mounted on the second connector and one end extends into the surrounding rock. The limiting components are mounted on the second connector to limit the adjusted support components.
[0036] In one embodiment of the present invention, during use, before the tunnel is excavated to the designed position from the tunnel entrance, multiple micropiles 2 are constructed along the designed outline to form a pile wall. Corresponding first and second connectors are installed on the pile wall to connect the pile wall with the steel arch frame 1 and to connect adjacent micropiles 2 to form a stable structure. The installation position and direction of the support member are adjusted and its stability is ensured by limiting members. The support member extends into the surrounding rock to connect with the pile wall, so that the pile wall-second connector-support member form a whole that works together to bear the load.
[0037] As an optional implementation, the first connector includes two mounting plates 3, with an arc-shaped groove 4 on the mounting plates 3. The micro pile 2 is adapted to the arc-shaped groove 4. Connecting ear plates 5 are fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting plates 3. The two connecting ear plates 5 on the same side of the two mounting plates 3 are connected by bolts. After the two connecting ear plates 5 are connected, a slot 6 is formed on the side. A groove is opened on the side of the steel arch frame 1. The outermost connecting ear plate 5 is connected to the groove through the slot 6.
[0038] In one embodiment of the present invention, the micropile 2 can be quickly and firmly clamped by the mounting clamp 3 with the arc groove 4 and the connecting ear plate 5. At the same time, the outermost mounting clamp 3 is connected to the steel arch frame 1 through the formed slot 6, realizing a reliable and quick connection between the pile wall and the steel arch frame 1, and enhancing the overall integrity.
[0039] As an optional implementation, the micropile 2 has a through hole 7. A connecting pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the middle of the arc groove 4 on one mounting plate 3. One end of the connecting pipe 8 extends into the through hole 7. A connecting screw 9 is threadedly connected to another mounting plate 3. One end of the connecting screw 9 extends into the through hole 7 and is threadedly connected to the connecting pipe 8.
[0040] In one embodiment of the present invention, radial locking is achieved by inserting the connecting pipe 8 and the connecting screw 9 into the through hole 7 of the micropile 2, which greatly enhances the shear resistance and pull-out resistance between the connector and the micropile 2, prevents loosening of the connection point, and ensures effective transmission of node force.
[0041] As an optional implementation, the second connector includes a connecting beam 10, with connecting blocks 11 fixedly connected to both ends of the connecting beam 10. The connecting blocks 11 are adapted to the slots 6. Circular grooves 12 are opened at both ends of the connecting blocks 11. Limiting blocks 14 are slidably connected in the circular grooves 12 by springs 13. Limiting holes 15 are opened at both ends of the slots 6, and the limiting blocks 14 are adapted to the limiting holes 15.
[0042] In one embodiment of the present invention, after the connecting block 11 is inserted into the slot 6, the limiting block 14 driven by the spring 13 automatically pops into the limiting hole 15 to complete the locking, which simplifies the installation process, improves construction efficiency, and facilitates the modular assembly and disassembly of the entire connection structure.
[0043] As an optional implementation, the adjustable support includes a support ball 16, a groove 17 on the connecting beam 10, a movable frame 18 slidably connected in the groove 17, the support ball 16 hinged in the middle of the movable frame 18, and a through hole 19 on the support ball 16 for inserting an anchor rod 20, one end of which extends into the surrounding rock.
[0044] In one embodiment of the present invention, the hinged connection between the supporting sphere 16 and the movable frame 18 allows the angle of the inserted anchor rod 20 to be adjusted in three-dimensional space. This allows construction personnel to precisely adjust the anchor rod 20 to the optimal anchoring direction according to the actual geological conditions and stress requirements, greatly improving the flexibility and scientific nature of the support.
[0045] As an optional implementation, the limiting component includes two sliders 21 that are slidably connected to both ends inside the movable frame 18, a supporting ball 16 located between the two sliders 21, a limiting groove 22 is formed on the side of the slider 21 near the supporting ball 16, a plurality of limiting cones 23 are fixedly connected in the limiting groove 22, a rubber layer 24 is covered on the supporting ball 16, and the limiting cones 23 are engaged in the rubber layer 24.
[0046] In one embodiment of the present invention, the driving slider 21 clamps the supporting ball 16, and the limiting cone 23 pierces the rubber layer 24 on the surface of the ball to generate a huge frictional force, so that after the angle of the anchor rod 20 is adjusted, it can be firmly locked to prevent deflection due to vibration or force during construction and use.
[0047] As an optional implementation, the top and bottom of the movable frame 18 are rotatably connected to a bidirectional threaded rod 25. The two sliders 21 are respectively threaded to the two ends of the bidirectional threaded rod 25. A worm gear 26 is rotatably connected to one side of the movable frame 18. A worm wheel 27 is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional threaded rod 25. The worm wheel 27 meshes with the worm gear 26. One end of the worm gear 26 extends out of the movable frame 18 and is fixedly connected to a crank knob 28.
[0048] In one embodiment of the present invention, the worm gear 26 and worm wheel 27 are driven by the crank knob 28, which in turn drives the bidirectional threaded rod 25 to control the opening and closing of the slider 21. The worm gear mechanism has a large reduction ratio and reverse self-locking characteristics, which not only achieves precise control of the clamping force, but also ensures that the locked state will not loosen on its own under the tension of the anchor rod 20.
[0049] As an optional implementation, the distance between two adjacent micropiles 2 is no greater than twice the diameter of the micropiles 2.
[0050] In one embodiment of the present invention, the formed pile wall is ensured to have sufficient density to effectively transmit earth pressure, prevent soil detachment between piles, and enhance the overall rigidity and water-stopping effect of the pile wall.
[0051] As an optional implementation, the movable frame 18 is provided with a plurality of connecting holes 29 along the axial direction, and the connecting beam 10 is provided with connecting bolts 30, which are threadedly connected to the connecting holes 29.
[0052] In one embodiment of the present invention, the position of the support unit on the connecting beam 10 can be flexibly adjusted by the cooperation of the connecting bolt 30 with different connecting holes 29, so that the support layout can adapt to different geological conditions and design spacing requirements.
[0053] As an optional implementation, the micropile 2 is a seamless steel pipe pile or a grouted steel pipe pile, which is filled with cement grout or cement mortar.
[0054] In one embodiment of the present invention, the micropile 2 is a seamless steel pipe pile or a grouted steel pipe pile, which clarifies the specific materials and structure of the micropile 2, providing both high strength and bonding and anchoring with the soil. Grouting can diffuse and penetrate into the surrounding soil, further improving soil strength and forming a reliable foundation for pile-soil synergy.
