Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of permafrost anchoring engineering technology, and in particular to a divergent anchor pipe suitable for permafrost slopes and its construction method. Background Technology

[0002] In road and engineering construction in permafrost regions, slope instability is a common geological hazard, and anchoring technology is currently the mainstream treatment method for unstable slopes. Traditional slope anchoring often uses a "drilling-grouting" process, which involves drilling holes in the slope, inserting anchor rods or pipes, and then pressurizing cement mortar into the holes. After the grout solidifies, the anchoring resistance is provided by the bond and friction between the grout and the soil around the hole. This method is mature in non-permafrost regions with normal temperatures, but its construction technology and anchoring mechanism face severe challenges in cold environments.

[0003] Grouting anchoring technology has two major drawbacks when applied in permafrost regions: First, the cement mortar generates a large amount of heat of hydration during the curing process, which is a significant thermal disturbance for permafrost, which is extremely sensitive to temperature. This can easily cause the permafrost around the anchor hole to melt, forming a water film or mud layer at the interface between the anchor and the soil, leading to a significant decrease in anchoring force or even failure. Second, permafrost regions are rich in underground ice and have high soil moisture content. Traditional anchors cannot effectively utilize this characteristic and are instead heavily affected by meltwater. In addition, grouting operations are greatly limited by ambient temperature and have a long curing period.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a divergent anchoring structure that does not require grouting to avoid thermal disturbance and can adaptively reinforce the soil by utilizing moisture. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a divergent anchor pipe that is simple to construct and highly practical for permafrost slopes.

[0006] Another technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a construction method for the divergent anchor pipe applicable to permafrost slopes.

[0007] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention provides a divergent anchor pipe suitable for permafrost slopes, comprising an anchor pipe passing through a slip surface and anchored within the slope by an anchor, characterized in that: the end of the anchor pipe after passing through the slip surface is provided with several anchoring units; a drive rod passes through the center of the anchor pipe, and a sun gear is rigidly connected to the drive rod; the anchoring unit consists of four sets of planetary gears connected to a limiting slide rod via a sliding support arm, a universal anchor head rigidly connected to the center of the planetary gears, a guide tube, and a nut welded to the inner wall of the anchor pipe via a nut fixing rod; the four sets of planetary gears mesh with the sun gear in a circumferential direction; the universal anchor head passes through the nut, and one end is located inside the guide tube; the limiting slide rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the anchor pipe.

[0008] The anchor pipe is made of multiple sections of ordinary steel pipe of the same specification, and its end that passes through the sliding surface is provided with holes corresponding to the position and number of the guide pipe.

[0009] The drive rod is made of steel bars, with one end protruding from the slope and the other end passing through the center of the anchor pipe and rigidly connected to the sun gear. The cross-section of the end protruding from the slope is square, and the cross-section of the end connected to the sun gear is circular.

[0010] The sun gear is a gear I with a central circular hole I, and its length is 30~50cm.

[0011] The planetary gear is a gear II with a central circular hole II. The central circular hole II is stepped, with the inner wall of the larger diameter hole being smooth and the inner wall of the smaller diameter hole being threaded with thread I. The planetary gear is rigidly connected to the universal anchor head through thread I.

[0012] The longitudinal section of the sliding arm is L-shaped. One side is connected to the limiting slide rod through a circular hole III, and the other side is embedded in the smooth circular hole in the inner wall of the planetary gear center through its own bearing.

[0013] The universal anchor head includes a drive section and an anchoring section connected together; the drive section is made of steel bar with thread II, which matches the thread I provided at the center of the planetary gear; one end of the drive section is rigidly connected through the thread I at the center of the planetary gear, and the other end passes through the thread IV at the center of the nut and is rigidly connected to the anchoring section; the anchoring section is made of soft water-absorbing and expanding material, has thread III along its entire length, is placed inside the guide tube, and has a pointed end after passing through the guide tube.

[0014] The guide tube is an arc-shaped tube with a diameter slightly larger than that of the universal anchor head. One end of the guide tube coincides with the central axis of the planetary gear, and the other end is fixedly connected to the anchor tube.

[0015] The limiting slide bar is a smooth Π-shaped structure made of steel bars, which is welded to the inner wall of the anchor pipe by vertical rods at both ends.

[0016] The thread Ⅳ at the center of the nut matches the thread Ⅱ of the drive section of the universal anchor head, and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the anchor tube by the nut fixing rod.

[0017] The above-described method for constructing a divergent anchor pipe suitable for permafrost slopes includes the following steps: ① Investigate and analyze the geological conditions of the location of the anchoring project, assess the applicability of the divergent anchor pipe in this project, analyze and determine the location of the potential slip surface of the slope, and design the length and diameter of the anchor pipe and the drive rotating rod, as well as the number, location and size of the anchoring unit according to the engineering design requirements; ②According to the engineering design, assemble the components of the anchoring unit and connect them to the design section of the anchor pipe by welding; drill holes for connecting the guide pipe at the design position of the anchor pipe; one end of the guide pipe coincides with the central axis of the planetary gear, and the other end passes through the hole and is fixedly connected to the anchor pipe to ensure that the planetary gear is located on the side close to the slope, so that the universal anchor head is in a retracted state. ③ Drill holes at the designed location on the slope. After drilling is completed, insert the anchor pipe and the anchoring unit assembled in step ② into the drill hole. ④ The sun gear is fixedly connected to the designed position of the drive rod; insert the end of the drive rod with the sun gear into the anchor tube until the sun gear and the planetary gear correspond one-to-one and mesh with each other; ⑤ Use a tool to twist the drive rod to rotate, drive the sun gear to rotate synchronously, and then drive the planetary gear to rotate. The planetary gear drives the universal anchor head to expand outward, forming a divergent trumpet-shaped structure around the anchor tube. ⑥ After the anchoring section of the universal anchor head absorbs water and expands, the anchor pipe is anchored inside the slope using the anchorage to complete the construction.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. This invention utilizes a tool to twist a drive rod, which drives the sun gear to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the planetary gear to rotate. The planetary gear drives the universal anchor head to expand outward, forming a divergent trumpet-shaped structure around the anchor pipe, thus achieving anchoring of the anchor pipe to the surrounding soil.

[0019] 2. In this invention, the anchoring section of the universal anchor head is made of a soft, water-absorbing, and expanding material. During service, it can absorb moisture from the soil and expand on its own, further improving the anchoring performance of the entire structure.

[0020] 3. The universal anchor head in this invention, which is rigidly connected to the planetary gear by threads, has a pointed tip and threads, which can be easily drilled into the soil around the borehole.

[0021] 4. Unlike traditional anchoring projects that use cement mortar as an anchoring agent, this invention utilizes a mechanical structure for self-anchoring, thereby avoiding the impact of hydration heat on permafrost during the cement mortar curing process.

[0022] 5. The construction method of this invention is simple and highly practical. It not only follows the construction principle of "protecting permafrost" in permafrost areas, but also has stable anchoring performance. Attached Figure Description
