Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of underground engineering support technology, specifically to a multi-level collaborative adaptive pressure relief tunnel support device. Background Technology
[0002] In the construction of mine, railway, and highway tunnels, when traversing high-stress zones or weak and fractured rock masses, the surrounding rock will undergo significant convergent deformation. Traditional rigid support systems (such as thick concrete linings and high-rigidity steel arches) are unable to adapt to the deformation release of the surrounding rock, and often suffer brittle failure due to stress concentration, leading to support failure and safety accidents.
[0003] Currently, the concept of yielding support has gained widespread acceptance, which absorbs the deformation energy of surrounding rock by setting yielding devices (such as friction-type constant-resistance anchors and yielding arch joints). However, the resistance-displacement curves of existing support structures are mostly monotonically increasing or sharply decreasing after constant resistance, failing to achieve the ideal nonlinear support characteristic curve of "sufficient yielding to release energy in the early stage and strong support to control deformation in the later stage." In addition, most yielding structures experience structural failure after reaching the design deformation amount, lacking a final safety margin to cope with sudden stress concentrations and lacking an early warning mechanism for engineering accidents. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the above problems, this invention proposes a multi-level cooperative adaptive pressure-yielding tunnel support device, the specific technical solution of which is as follows: A multi-stage cooperative adaptive pressure-yielding tunnel support device includes an arch support and multiple pressure-yielding anchors. The arch support is composed of multiple arched arch units hinged together, and the pressure-yielding anchors are installed one-to-one at the hinge points of the arched arch units. Each pressure-yielding anchor includes a rod body, on which a multi-stage pressure-yielding assembly and a tray are installed. The multi-stage pressure-yielding assembly divides the rod body into two segments, and the tray is located on the segment facing the anchor insertion end of the multi-stage pressure-yielding assembly. The multi-stage pressure-yielding assembly includes a cylinder, a piston, and a piston rod. A pressure relief valve is installed inside the cylinder, and a linkage transmission is fixedly connected to and arranged parallel to the piston rod on one side. The piston rod has a chamfered tooth, and a locking wedge is located on one side of the chamfered tooth. The locking wedge is connected to a cam. The linkage transmission rod has a transmission tooth, and the cam is connected to a transmission gear arranged coaxially with it. When the piston rod moves to a certain position, the transmission tooth can mesh with the transmission gear. When the multi-stage pressure relief assembly is compressed, in the first stage, the pressure relief valve opens; in the second stage, the transmission tooth meshes with the transmission gear, driving the cam to rotate so that the locking wedge meshes with the chamfered tooth, and the pressure relief valve closes; in the third stage, the locking wedge makes a slight slip along the chamfered tooth, and the piston rod obtains the final displacement reserve.
[0005] Furthermore, a fluid cavity is formed between the piston and the cylinder, and a non-Newtonian fluid is placed in the fluid cavity.
[0006] Furthermore, the pressure relief valve is a controllable pressure relief valve.
[0007] Furthermore, the cam is connected to the transmission gear via a connecting rod.
[0008] Furthermore, the multi-stage pressure relief assembly also includes a housing that has a sliding seal with two rod segments located thereon, the rods being rotatably mounted within the housing.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The multi-stage pressure relief component can be adjusted and switched between the first stage of flexible support, the second stage of rigid support, and the third stage of extremely rigid support according to the deformation of the surrounding rock, so as to achieve the best match between the support strategy and the surrounding rock condition.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.
[0014] The present invention provides the following specific implementation schemes: like Figure 1-3 As shown, this invention provides a multi-stage cooperative adaptive pressure-yielding tunnel support device, including an arch support 3 and multiple pressure-yielding anchor rods 2; the arch support 3 is formed by hinged multiple arc-shaped arch units 3.1, and the pressure-yielding anchor rods 2 are installed one-to-one at the hinge points of the arc-shaped arch units 3.1; the pressure-yielding anchor rod 2 includes a rod body 2.1, on which a multi-stage pressure-yielding assembly 2.3 and a tray 2.2 are installed. The tray 2.2 is located on the rod segment facing the anchor rod insertion end of the multi-stage pressure-yielding assembly 2.3. The multi-stage pressure-yielding assembly 2.3 divides the rod body 2.1 into two segments, and the rod body 2.1 can extend and retract within a small range through the multi-stage pressure-yielding assembly 2.3; the multi-stage pressure-yielding assembly 2.3 includes a cylinder 2. 2.34, piston 2.33, piston rod 2.36, cylinder 2.34 and piston rod 2.36 are respectively connected to their corresponding rod segments. Cylinder 2.34 is equipped with a pressure relief valve 2.32. One side of piston rod 2.36 is provided with a linkage transmission rod 2.39 that is fixedly connected to it and arranged in parallel. Piston rod 2.36 is provided with a chamfer tooth 2.35. One side of chamfer tooth 2.35 is provided with a locking wedge 2.38. Locking wedge 2.38 is connected to a cam 2.37. Linkage transmission rod 2.39 is provided with a transmission tooth. Cam 2.37 is connected to a transmission gear arranged on the same axis. When piston rod 2.36 moves to a certain position, the transmission tooth can mesh with the transmission gear.
[0015] When the deformation of the surrounding rock layer 1 causes the multi-stage pressure relief component 2.3 to be compressed, the changes in the multi-stage pressure relief component 2.3 can be divided into three stages: In the first stage (flexible stage), the anchor rod 2 is compressed, and the piston rod 2.36 releases the force and pushes the piston 2.33 to compress the non-Newtonian fluid in the cylinder 2.34, which is then discharged through the pressure relief valve 2.32. During this stage, the transmission teeth of the linkage transmission rod 2.39 and the transmission gear are not engaged.
[0016] In the second stage (rigid stage), after the piston rod 2.36 reaches a certain stroke, the linkage transmission rod 2.39 is connected to the transmission gear through the transmission teeth, which drives the cam 2.37 to rotate. Then, the cam 2.37 presses the locking wedge 2.38 to mesh with the ramp teeth 2.35, the piston rod 2.36 is locked, and at the same time the pressure relief valve 2.32 closes.
[0017] In the third stage, when the pressure is high enough, the locking wedge 2.38 rotates along the inclined teeth 2.35, producing a slight slippage with a large acceleration (similar to a jerking sensation). The piston rod 2.36 obtains the final displacement reserve, the cylinder 2.34 is under high pressure, and the piston 2.33 rapidly shears the non-Newtonian fluid, greatly increasing the viscosity of the non-Newtonian fluid, making it close to a solid, and providing the maximum resistance for support.
[0018] Furthermore, a fluid cavity 2.31 is formed between the piston 2.33 and the cylinder 2.34, and a non-Newtonian fluid is placed in the fluid cavity 2.31, which can be a high-concentration starch suspension or a silicon dioxide ethylene glycol suspension.
[0019] Furthermore, the pressure relief valve 2.32 is a controllable pressure relief valve 2.32, and the constant resistance of the first stage can be adjusted by adjusting the pressure relief valve 2.32.
[0020] Furthermore, the cam 2.37 is connected to the transmission gear via a connecting rod.
[0021] Furthermore, the multi-stage pressure relief assembly 2.3 also includes a housing (not shown in the figure), which is slidably sealed to two rod segments located thereon. The cylinder 2.34 and piston rod 2.36 are both located inside the housing. The connecting rod is rotatably mounted inside the housing, and the locking wedge 2.38 is slidably mounted inside the housing.
[0022] Furthermore, adjacent arched frame units 3.1 are hinged together by hydraulic cavity connectors 3.2.
[0023] The multi-stage pressure relief component 2.3 can be adjusted and switched between the first stage of flexible support, the second stage of rigid support, and the third stage of extremely rigid support according to the deformation of the surrounding rock, so as to achieve the best match between the support strategy and the surrounding rock condition.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention.
