Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of underground space engineering, in particular to a soil pressure testing device for a soft surrounding rock tunnel. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, tunnel engineering, as an important part of transportation infrastructure, has ushered in a new stage of construction boom. Among them, clarifying the surrounding rock pressure of the tunnel is a prerequisite for the design of the tunnel support structure and an important premise for guiding on-site construction. The main methods for determining the surrounding rock pressure are: on-site field measurement method, theoretical formula calculation method, empirical method or engineering analogy method. Undoubtedly, on-site field measurement can directly obtain the surrounding rock pressure and is the most valuable engineering reference.

[0003] To directly measure the surrounding rock pressure on the supporting structure, the method of burying an earth pressure box behind the supporting structure is currently widely used. Admittedly, the surrounding rock pressure measured by this method is actually the contact stress between the surrounding rock and the supporting structure, and the measurement accuracy depends largely on the installation angle of the measuring surface of the earth pressure box and the degree of close contact with the surrounding rock. For mountain tunnels, the current common method of burying earth pressure boxes is to weld or tie the pressure box to the back of the tunnel steel arch frame, or drill holes in the surrounding rock to arrange expansion bolts, square wood chips or steel bars to fix the earth pressure box. However, for weak surrounding rock, the stratum is loose and broken, the degree of cementation is poor and the strength is low, and the drilled hole is prone to collapse, which is often difficult to serve as the force foundation of expansion bolts or steel bars. Direct installation of the earth pressure box is prone to detachment from the surrounding rock or even fall off. In addition, the construction of soft surrounding rock tunnels is prone to over-excavation, that is, a certain gap will be formed between the surrounding rock and the supporting structure, which may reach tens of centimeters in severe cases. Therefore, in this case, it is difficult for the earth pressure box to be installed on the back of the tunnel steel arch frame to be close to the surrounding rock, which will greatly affect the measurement results. In response to this situation, a few solutions currently use other materials such as steel bars and square timber to raise the earth pressure box or fill the pores with concrete, gypsum, anchors, hot melt adhesives, etc. However, since the amount of over-excavation in different parts of the on-site tunnel construction is not the same, these methods are not convenient for adjusting the position of the earth pressure box and will affect the force transfer between the surrounding rock and the support.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides an earth pressure testing device for a soft surrounding rock tunnel, comprising an earth pressure box 10, a fixing assembly 20 for fixing the earth pressure box 10, an adjusting assembly 30 for adjusting the position of the measuring surface of the earth pressure box 10, and a connecting assembly 40 for supporting the adjusting assembly 30.

[0030] At the same time Figure 2 As shown, the earth pressure box 10 is set in a round pancake shape, the top surface of the earth pressure box 10 is a measuring surface 11, and a cable interface 12 is set on one side of the earth pressure box 10 for connecting the cable. The fixing assembly 20 includes a support box body 21 with an open top surface, and the support box body 21 is used to accommodate and support the earth pressure box 10, and its side length is greater than the outer diameter of the earth pressure box 10. Threaded holes are set on three sides of the support box body 21 and adjustment bolts 22 are inserted, and a threading groove 23 is set on the fourth side. The earth pressure box 10 is clamped and fixed by the adjustment bolt 22, and the cable interface 12 is passed through the threading groove 23.

[0031] It should be noted that the earth pressure box 10 is conventionally in the shape of a round pancake, and the support box body 21 is set to be square for the convenience of setting the adjustment bolts 22. In other embodiments, a circular shape or other shapes may also be considered, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0032] It should be noted that when the earth pressure box 10 is installed, its measuring surface 11 needs to be slightly higher than the upper edge of the supporting box body 21, and the gap between the earth pressure box 10 and the supporting box body 21 is filled with flexible materials such as foam or sealant to keep the earth pressure box 10 stable during measurement. During specific installation, first put the measuring surface 11 of the earth pressure box 10 upward into the supporting box body 21, embed the cable interface 12 into the threading groove 23, and then gradually tighten the adjustment bolts 22 on the three sides to fix the earth pressure box 10 to the fixing assembly 20. Then, fill the gap with flexible materials such as foam or sealant to ensure that only the measuring surface 11 of the earth pressure box 10 and the cable interface 12 are exposed.

[0033] In this embodiment, the positioning assembly 30 includes a tensioning screw 31, an adjusting nut 32 and a cross buckle 33. The first end of the tensioning screw 31 is fixedly connected to the cross buckle 33 (welded or integrally arranged), and the second end of the tensioning screw 31 is connected to the tunnel steel arch 50 through the coupling assembly 40. Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the cross buckle 33 includes a central nut 331 and four side ribs 332, all of which are fixed (through welding, etc.) to the bottom surface of the support box body 21. The side ribs 332 improve the connection stability. Of course, the number of side ribs is not limited to four, and can also be three or other numbers. Figure 4 As shown, the tension screw 31 is a solid threaded round steel, which matches the central nut 331 and the adjusting nut 32. The adjusting nut 32 itself is set to be butterfly-shaped for easy manual adjustment. The connecting assembly 40 includes a weldable hollow circular tube with a diameter slightly larger than the tension screw. When welded to the tunnel steel arch frame 50, the welding direction is along the radial direction of the tunnel steel arch frame 50.

[0034] During the specific installation, the first end of the tension screw 31 is inserted into the center nut 331 of the cross buckle 33, and after tightening, the adjusting nut 32 is inserted into the tension screw 31, and then the weldable hollow circular tube is inserted from the second end of the tension screw 31, and the length of the tension screw 31 passing through the weldable hollow circular tube is adjusted by rotating the adjusting nut 32 to adjust the position of the support box body 21 and the earth pressure box 10 connected to the tension screw 31, until the measuring surface 11 of the earth pressure box 10 fits with the surrounding rock, and a firm state is formed under the joint action of the thread force and the reaction force. It should be noted that the weldable hollow circular tube can play a connecting role as well as a protective sleeve to ensure that the tension screw 31 will not be damaged during the radial welding of the weldable hollow circular tube along the tunnel steel arch frame 50.

[0035] As described above, the earth pressure testing device for a tunnel with soft surrounding rock provided in this embodiment can better adjust the installation position of the earth pressure box 10 through the arrangement of the fixing assembly 20, the adjusting assembly 30 and the connecting assembly 40, overcome the problem of the earth pressure box 10 not being closely attached to the surrounding rock when installed in a tunnel with soft surrounding rock, especially in the case of over-excavation during construction, and realize efficient and convenient burial of the earth pressure box 10 in the tunnel with soft surrounding rock; at the same time, it can effectively avoid the earth pressure box 10 from being emptied or even falling off from the surrounding rock, and ensure that the measuring surface 11 of the earth pressure box 10 is subjected to radial force, thereby ensuring the survival rate of the instrument to a great extent and improving the test accuracy.
