Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vertical shafts, and in particular to a novel support system for the lower bend section of a vertical shaft. Background Technology
[0002] During shaft excavation, the bottom is usually connected to a high-pressure horizontal tunnel. The junction between the shaft and the horizontal tunnel is often a design challenge. The usual practice is to use shotcrete and anchor support to maintain the stability of the surrounding rock. For the downward curve section with poor surrounding rock geological conditions, a fan-shaped steel arch support is considered. However, this is usually only applicable to the curve section with a small excavation diameter and a small turning radius. Usually, during shaft excavation, the outer sidewall of the shaft is excavated to the bottom of the shaft, making it difficult to install a steel arch support on the sidewall. Therefore, for the downward curve section with a large shaft diameter and a large turning radius, it is often necessary to consider other systems to install steel arches to achieve the purpose of strong support.
[0003] Based on the above, this utility model proposes a type of steel arch frame that is connected and supported by each other in different directions, in order to effectively solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to solve the problems existing in the background technology, this utility model provides a novel support system for the downward bend section of a vertical shaft.
[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A novel support system for the downward curve section of a vertical shaft includes zones A, B, C, and D. Zone A has multiple layers, and the inner walls of each layer are made of steel fiber reinforced concrete. Each layer in Zone A has anchor bolts and a first steel arch frame. The first steel arch frames are connected by connectors and angle steel, and the anchor bolts support and connect the first steel arch frames. Zone B has an inner wall made of steel fiber reinforced concrete, and the horizontal tunnel section of Zone B has a second steel arch frame and anchor bolts. Zone C has multiple layers, and the bottom is stepped. The inner walls of Zone C are all made of steel fiber reinforced concrete, and the horizontal tunnel section of Zone C has a second steel arch frame and anchor bolts. Zone D has an inner wall made of steel fiber reinforced concrete, and the bottom is stepped. Zone D has a fourth steel arch frame, and the first steel arch frame is connected to the fourth steel arch frame. The fourth steel arch frame supports the last first steel arch frame in Zone A.
[0007] Furthermore, the second steel arch frame is provided with mutually perpendicular foundation support steel plates and foundation bottom steel plates.
[0008] Furthermore, the first steel arch frame was welded to the anchor rod.
[0009] Furthermore, mesh was installed and sprayed with concrete in areas A, B, and C, and area A was equipped with multiple randomly distributed drainage holes.
[0010] Furthermore, the first steel arch frame is assembled and connected by connecting steel plates and bolts, and the connecting component is a longitudinal connecting rib.
[0011] Furthermore, the second steel arch frame is assembled and connected by connecting steel plates and bolts.
[0012] Furthermore, the third steel arch frame is assembled and connected by connecting steel plates and bolts.
[0013] Furthermore, the first steel arch frame and the fourth steel arch frame are connected by steel plates.

[0015] This utility model provides a novel support system for the lower bend section of a vertical shaft: steel arch frames support each other, making it possible to use steel arch frames for strong support in the lower bend section. The system has reasonable stress distribution and effectively solves the problem of shaft wall stability during excavation in the lower bend section. It is highly practical for supporting the lower bend section with poor surrounding rock geological conditions. Attached Figure Description
