A single mobile plate 2 is slidably fitted onto the outer walls of the multiple guide pillars. A hydraulic telescopic cylinder 6 is installed on the top outer wall of the mobile trolley 1. The telescopic end of the hydraulic telescopic cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the mobile plate 2. A support rod 3 is fixed to the top outer wall of the mobile plate 2. A rotating plate 8 is hinged to the top side wall of the support rod 3. Support plates 4 are fixedly connected to the top outer walls of both ends of the rotating plate 8 via two first connecting components. A connecting seat 7 is fixed to the top outer wall of the mobile plate 2. A telescopic rod 5 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting seat 7. Another connecting seat 7 is rotatably connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 5. The connecting seat 7 is connected to the support plate 4 via a second connecting component. Multiple hydraulic columns 18 are fixed to the top outer walls of both the support plate 4 and the support rod 3. An installation groove is opened at the telescopic end of each hydraulic column 18. A rubber gasket 19 is slidably fitted onto the inner wall of the installation groove. A pressure sensor 20 is installed on the bottom inner wall of the installation groove. The top of the pressure sensor 20 contacts and engages with the rubber gasket 19.
[0029] In use, the mobile trolley 1 is pushed to the working position, the hydraulic telescopic cylinder 6 is activated, pushing the moving plate 2 upward, so that the top of the support rod 3 contacts the inner wall of the tunnel. Then, the telescopic rod 5 extends, pushing the support plate 4 to rotate around the connection between the rotating plate 8 and the support rod 3 as the rotation center, so that the rubber pads 19 on the top part of the hydraulic column 18 of the support plate 4 contact the inner wall of the tunnel. The pressure sensor 20 detects the pressure, and then multiple hydraulic columns 18 are activated, pushing the rubber pads 19 to extend. The extension amount of the hydraulic column 18 is controlled by the pressure detected by the pressure sensor 20, so that multiple rubber pads 19 are in contact with the inner wall of the tunnel and maintain the same contact pressure.
[0030] By installing hydraulic columns 18 and pressure sensors 20, it is possible to ensure that the support plate 4 has multiple points of contact with the tunnel wall, thus avoiding local stress concentration caused by uneven pressure distribution due to the unevenness of the tunnel wall.
[0031] By incorporating rubber pads 19, tiny unevenness in the tunnel wall can be filled, and the rubber pads 19 can be replaced individually after wear, eliminating the need for complete disassembly and reducing maintenance costs.
