[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 - 9 , and a kind of excavation structure of the intersection of a water conveyance tunnel provided by the embodiment of the present invention will be described now.

[0034] In one embodiment, a kind of excavation structure of the intersection of a water conveyance tunnel in the embodiment of the present invention includes: a general section 5 of a branch tunnel, a lofting and gradient-changing section 6 of the branch tunnel, and an intersection section. The excavation section type of the lofting and gradient-changing section 6 of the branch tunnel transitions from the branch tunnel section 7 to the main tunnel section 8; the intersection section includes a right-side excavation expansion section 1 of the branch tunnel, a left-side excavation expansion section 2 of the branch tunnel, a main tunnel section 3 of the intersection, and an intersection triangular area 4; the tunnel axis of the intersection section is a leftward circular arc axis and a rightward circular arc axis, and the intersection triangular area 4 is formed between the leftward circular arc axis, the rightward circular arc axis and the tunnel axis of the main tunnel.

[0035] The typical excavation and support section of the excavation structure of the intersection of the water conveyance tunnel in this embodiment includes the main tunnel section 8, the branch tunnel section 7, and a gradually changing irregular section connected between the main tunnel section 8 and the branch tunnel section 7. The excavation and support sections of the general section 5 of the branch tunnel are all branch tunnel sections 7 and are arranged on the branch tunnel axis. The excavation and support section type of the intersection section is the main tunnel section 8, and the section is arranged on the branch tunnel axis and the main tunnel axis.

[0036] The excavation section type of the lofting and gradient-changing section 6 of the branch tunnel is formed by lofting and gradually changing from the branch tunnel section 7 to the main tunnel section 8, that is, transitioning from the branch tunnel section 7 to the main tunnel section 8. The starting and ending sections of the excavation section are the branch tunnel section 7 and the main tunnel section 8 respectively, and the rest of the excavation sections are all irregular sections. The lofting and gradient-changing section 6 of the branch tunnel is arranged on the branch tunnel axis, and the branch tunnel section type is gradually changed to the main tunnel section type in advance at the end of the branch tunnel axis to avoid arranging irregular sections on the intersection section.

The left arc axis and the right arc axis are both tangent to the tunnel axis of the general section 5 of the branch tunnel and the tunnel axis of the main tunnel, forming an intersection triangle area 4. The intersection section consists of the following parts: the main tunnel cross-section sweeps to form three cylinders along the left arc axis, the right arc axis, and the tunnel axis of the main tunnel respectively; the intersection triangle area 4 is formed by sweeping the closed triangle area formed by the left arc axis, the right arc axis, and the axis of the main tunnel section of the intersection along the height direction of the excavation crown arch to form a cylinder, and the intersection section is formed by the union operation of the above cylinders.

The three-piece steel arch frames 9 of the intersection are the main load-bearing structures for the steel arch frames 12 of the main tunnel section of the intersection. The steel arch frames 12 of the main tunnel section of the intersection are vertically arranged with respect to the tunnel axis of the main tunnel. The three-piece steel arch frames 9 of the intersection are arranged close to the side line of the main tunnel, and the steel arch frames 12 of the main tunnel section of the intersection are vertically lapped on the three-piece steel arch frames 9 of the intersection.

[0042] Furthermore, multiple steel arch frames 11 for gradual change in layout of branch tunnels are provided in the gradual change section 6 of branch tunnel layout, and the multiple steel arch frames 11 for gradual change in layout of branch tunnels are arranged perpendicular to the tunnel axis of the general section 5 of the branch tunnel.
