[0016] The features of the present invention and other related features will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through embodiments for the understanding of those skilled in the same industry:

[0017] As Figures 1-3 shown, the marks in the figure are respectively represented as: arch frame 10, fixing hole 11, arc-shaped plate 12, web plate 13, advanced small duct 20, external thread 21, frustum-shaped protrusion 22, grouting hole 23, sleeve 30, abutting part 31, expansion head 32, threaded hole 33.

[0018] Embodiment: As Figures 1-3As shown in the figure, this embodiment relates to a non-welded advanced support assembly for tunnel support, that is, an advanced support for tunnel construction. The advanced support assembly includes an arch frame 10, an advanced small duct 20, and a sleeve 30. A fixing hole 11 is formed in the arch frame 10. An external thread 21 is provided in the area near the tail of the advanced small duct 20. A frustum-shaped protrusion 22 is also formed on the outer periphery of the advanced small duct 20. The frustum-shaped protrusion 22 is located on the side of the external thread 21 away from the tail of the advanced small duct 20. Moreover, the diameter of the frustum-shaped protrusion 22 gradually increases in the direction along the axis of the advanced small duct 20 and away from the external thread 21. The maximum outer diameter of the frustum-shaped protrusion 22 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the fixing hole 11 to ensure that the part of the advanced small duct 20 with the frustum-shaped protrusion 22 can also pass through the fixing hole 11.

[0019] In this embodiment, the sleeve 30 includes a holding part 31 and an expansion head 32 provided at one end of the holding part 31. Among them, the holding part 31 and the expansion head 32 can be integrally formed. Optionally, the sleeve 30 can be made of steel material. The holding part 31 is provided with a threaded hole 33 for the advanced small duct 20 to pass through and cooperate with the external thread 21. That is to say, a threaded hole 33 penetrating through both ends is formed in the holding part 31. The diameter of the threaded hole 33 is larger than the outer diameter of the tail of the advanced small duct 20 to ensure that the sleeve 30 can be sleeved outside the tail of the advanced small duct 20, and an internal thread adapted to the external thread 21 on the advanced small duct 20 is formed in the threaded hole 33. Moreover, the cross-sectional dimension of the holding part 31 is larger than the diameter of the fixing hole 11, so that the holding part 31 cannot pass through the fixing hole 11 and is blocked on one side of the fixing hole 11. The outer diameter of the expansion head 32 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the fixing hole 11 to ensure that the expansion head 32 can be inserted into the fixing hole 11, and the end of the expansion head 32 away from the holding part 31 can expand outwards under the action of an external force.

[0020] In the fixed state, the head of the advanced small duct 20 passes through the fixing hole 11 on the arch frame 10, and until the frustum-shaped protrusion 22 provided on the outer periphery of the advanced small duct 20 also passes through the fixing hole 11. The sleeve 30 is sleeved on the tail of the advanced small duct 20, and the expansion head 32 of the sleeve 30 is inserted into the fixing hole 11, so that the expansion head 32 is located between the advanced small duct 20 and the fixing hole 11. Further, the frustum-shaped protrusion 22 expands the expansion head 32 outwards, so that the outer-expanded part dimension of the expansion head 32 is larger than the diameter of the fixing hole 11, so that the outer-expanded part of the expansion head 32 and the holding part 31 of the sleeve 30 are respectively clamped and fixed on both sides of the fixing hole 11, and the advanced small duct 20 is fixedly connected to the holding part 31 of the sleeve 30 through the external thread 21, finally realizing the fixed connection between the advanced small duct 20 and the arch frame 10.

[0021] That is to say, when the leading small duct 20 needs to be fixed to the arch support 10, first insert the leading small duct 20 into the fixing hole 11 of the arch support 10 from the head, and then continuously push it inward so that the frustum-shaped protrusion 22 also passes through the fixing hole 11 until the external thread 21 of the leading small duct 20 is close to the fixing hole 11; afterwards, sleeved the sleeve 30 on the tail of the leading small duct 20, and then continue to push in the direction where the frustum-shaped protrusion 22 is located, so that the expansion head 32 of the sleeve 30 is inserted into the fixing hole 11 of the arch support 10. Optionally, a part of the expansion head 32 can extend out of the other side of the fixing hole 11. Then the sleeve 30 continues to rotate forward, so that the expansion head 32 is expanded outward by the frustum-shaped protrusion 22 on the leading small duct 20, and the threaded hole 33 in the abutting portion 31 is threadedly engaged with the external thread 21 on the leading small duct 20 to achieve a fixed connection. At this time, the expanded part of the expansion head 32 and the abutting portion 31 of the sleeve 30 are respectively clamped on both sides of the fixing hole 11, thereby realizing the installation and fixation of the leading small duct 20 on the arch support 10.

[0022] In this embodiment, the expansion head 32 includes a cylindrical portion, and a plurality of expansion slits are circumferentially spaced apart at one end of the cylindrical portion away from the abutting portion 31. Thus, when the frustum-shaped protrusion 22 continuously advances in the cylindrical portion, the expansion head 32 will be expanded outward.

[0023] In this embodiment, the outer shape of the abutting portion 31 is a hexagonal prism. That is to say, a threaded hole 33 is provided inside the abutting portion 31, and the outside is in the shape of a hexagonal prism, which is convenient for using a wrench to rotate and tighten the sleeve 30.

[0024] In this embodiment, the leading small duct 20 is inserted into the expansion head 32. Optionally, the expansion head 32 and the fixing hole 11 are in an interference fit. Specifically, the frustum-shaped protrusion 22 on the leading small duct 20 is used to expand the expansion head 32, so that the expansion head 32 is clamped between the frustum-shaped protrusion 22 and the inner wall of the fixing hole 11. Thus, it is ensured that the leading small duct 20 cannot move radially and avoid shaking, thereby improving the firmness of the formed leading support assembly.

[0025] In one embodiment, a plurality of fixing holes 11 are spaced apart along the arc extension direction of the arch support 10, and a sleeve 30 and a leading small duct 20 are clamped and fixed in each fixing hole 11. That is to say, the arch support 10 in this embodiment is in an arch shape, or called an arc shape. Along its arc extension direction, a plurality of fixing holes 11 for fixing the sleeve 30 and the leading small duct 20 are spaced apart to achieve effective leading support for the periphery of the tunnel construction area.

[0026] In one embodiment, a plurality of grouting holes 23 are formed in the pipe body area between the head of the advanced small duct 20 and the frustum-shaped protrusion 22. The advanced small duct 20 is in a hollow tubular shape, and the grouting holes 23 communicate with the inside of the advanced small duct 20. When high-pressure grouting is carried out into the pipe of the advanced small duct 20, the grout will be pressed out from the grouting holes 23 to the soil outside the advanced small duct 20. After solidification, the grouting body and the advanced small duct 20 can form a firm support structure. Optionally, the plurality of grouting holes 23 in this embodiment are arranged in a plum blossom shape.

[0027] In this embodiment, the arch frame 10 includes two arc-shaped plates 12 and a web 13 clamped between the two arc-shaped plates 12. The arc-shaped plates 12 and the web 13 are integrally formed, and the fixing holes 11 are formed in the web 13. Then the depth of the fixing holes 11 is the thickness of the web 13. In some embodiments, the arch frame 10 is made of section steel. The arch frame 10 made of section steel has high strength and strong support ability.

[0028] In summary, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: By changing the connection method between the advanced small duct and the arch frame from the traditional welding and fixing method to the clamping and fixing of the expansion head on the sleeve after expansion and the fixing hole, and the threaded fixing connection method between the sleeve and the advanced small duct, the advanced support assembly can be applied to the construction environment where open fire operations are prohibited, and has a simple structure, convenient installation, reduces the construction difficulty, speeds up the construction efficiency, and reduces the cost.
