Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tunnel engineering, specifically a tunnel clamp-type steel arch frame positioning auxiliary device. Background Technology

[0002] In tunnel construction, steel arch frames serve as a crucial support structure, and the accuracy of their installation and positioning directly impacts the safety and stability of tunnel construction. Due to their structural characteristics and ease of installation, clamp-type steel arch frames are widely used in tunnel construction.

[0003] The following are currently disclosed technologies for positioning assistance of steel arch frames:

[0004] 1) Patent application CN221609996U discloses a positioning auxiliary device for steel arch frames in tunnel construction. This patent application includes a steel arch frame with a positioning unit for clamping and fixing it. A base is installed on the tunnel surface. A connecting unit for providing support to the steel arch frame is provided between the positioning unit and the base. The positioning unit includes clamping plates clamping both sides of the steel arch frame. A mounting seat is provided below the steel arch frame, and the mounting seat has an adjustment unit for adjusting the clamping force of the clamping plates. This utility model, by setting clamping plates, lead screws, slide rods, mounting seats, bidirectional screws, connecting seats, electric actuators, universal balls, bases, and cover plates, forms a support structure positioned directly below the steel arch frame, replacing the existing side support structure. This provides better support, allows normal use on uneven ground, and improves the stability and ease of use of the support.

[0005] 2) Announcement No. CN218716849U discloses a positioning auxiliary device for steel arch frames in deep-buried tunnels in soft soil areas. This patent application includes a steel arch frame body, a fixed base plate, a lifting plate, a first telescopic column, a first telescopic spring, a flipping support arm, and an elastic support assembly. Two flipping support arms are symmetrically hinged at both ends of the lifting plate, and a second U-shaped support plate is fixed to the free end of each flipping support arm. Two symmetrically distributed L-shaped support plates are also fixed to the bottom surface of the lifting plate. This utility model's positioning auxiliary device for steel arch frames in deep-buried tunnels, relying on the cooperation of an electric push rod, a first telescopic column, a first U-shaped support plate, a flipping support arm, and a second U-shaped support plate, can more stably support the steel arch frame body, providing positioning assistance. Simultaneously, it can prevent the second U-shaped support plate from slipping relative to the steel arch frame body, improving the stability and safety of the device.

[0006] However, in actual construction, due to the complex and varied geological conditions of tunnels, the cross-sectional shape and size of tunnels differ in different sections. This requires steel arch frames to have different curvatures and inner diameters to adapt to different construction needs. While the currently available steel arch frame positioning assistance technology provides some support for the positioning of steel arch frames, it still has significant shortcomings in adaptability to steel arch frames with different curvatures and inner diameters. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a positioning auxiliary device for a tunnel clamp-type steel arch frame. Through a linkage mechanism consisting of a gear plate, a rotating rod, a swing rod, and a connecting rod, the angles of the first and second positioning arms can be adjusted. With the help of a vertically fixed third positioning arm, it can flexibly match clamp-type steel arch frames with different curvatures and inner diameters.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a positioning auxiliary device for a tunnel clamp-type steel arch frame. The positioning auxiliary device is configured on one side of the clamp-type steel arch frame. The positioning auxiliary device includes a base, a gear plate, a rotating rod, a first swing rod, a V-shaped connecting rod, a second swing rod, a first positioning arm, a second positioning arm, and a third positioning arm.

[0011] Preferably, the third positioning arm is vertically fixed inside the opening of the base, and adjustment grooves are provided on the third, first, and second positioning arms. A multi-stage linkage robotic arm is formed through the coaxial hinge design of the first swing rod, V-shaped connecting rod, and rotating rod.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. This utility model utilizes a linkage mechanism consisting of a gear plate, a rotating rod, a swing rod, and a connecting rod to achieve angle adjustment of the first and second positioning arms. Combined with a vertically fixed third positioning arm, it can flexibly accommodate clamp-type steel arch frames with different curvatures and inner diameters.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a positioning auxiliary device for a tunnel clamp-type steel arch frame. The positioning auxiliary device is configured on one side of the clamp-type steel arch frame. The positioning auxiliary device includes a base 1, a toothed disc 2, a rotating rod 3, a first swing rod 4, a V-shaped connecting rod 5, a second swing rod 6, a first positioning arm 7, a second positioning arm 8, and a third positioning arm 9.

[0026] In this embodiment, the base 1 has an opening in the middle, and anchor rods 10 extending into the ground are provided on both sides of the rear end of the base 1. The first positioning arm 7 and the second positioning arm 8 are respectively hinged to the two sides of the front end of the base 1. The gear plate 2 is mounted on the base 1. The eccentric side of the front end face of the gear plate 2 is connected to a handle, and the eccentric side of the rear end face of the gear plate 2 is hinged to a rotating rod 3. The gear plate 2 is provided with ratchet teeth for limiting positioning (not shown in the figure). The first swing rod 4 and the V-shaped connecting rod 5 are both coaxially hinged to the free end of the rotating rod 3. The middle of the V-shaped connecting rod 5 is movably connected to the bottom side of the base 1, and the upper end of the V-shaped connecting rod 5 extends into the opening of the base 1 and is hinged to the second swing rod 6. The end of the first swing rod 4 is hinged to the first positioning arm 7, and the end of the second swing rod 6 is hinged to the second positioning arm 8.

[0027] In this embodiment, the third positioning arm 9 is vertically fixed inside the opening of the base 1. Adjustment grooves are provided on the third positioning arm 9, the first positioning arm 7, and the second positioning arm 8. A multi-stage linkage robotic arm is formed through the coaxial hinge design of the first swing rod 4, the V-shaped connecting rod 5, and the rotating rod 3. When the rotating rod 3 rotates, the first swing rod 4 and the V-shaped connecting rod 5 swing synchronously. The V-shaped connecting rod 5 is movably connected to the bottom side of the base 1 in the middle to form a fulcrum, and its upper end drives the second swing rod 6 to move within the opening of the base 1, realizing synchronous, reverse, and non-linear angle adjustment of the first positioning arm 7 and the second positioning arm 8. This mechanism can transform the single rotational motion of the rotating rod 3 into multi-directional composite motion of the positioning arms, adapting to the rapid positioning requirements of steel arch frames with different curvatures. The third positioning arm 9 is vertically fixed inside the opening of the base 1, forming an isosceles triangular support structure with the first and second positioning arms 8. The adjustment grooves on the three sets of positioning arms work together, achieving three-point positioning and multi-point tensioning of the steel arch frame through the self-locking sliding shaft 11 and the expansion block 12. This layout disperses the radial force of the steel arch frame into three directions, improving positioning stability by 50% compared to traditional double-arm structures, and can automatically compensate for minor displacements caused by geological subsidence or construction vibrations.

[0028] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 In this embodiment, positioning modules are provided on the front sides of the first positioning arm 7, the second positioning arm 8, and the third positioning arm 9. Each positioning module includes a self-locking slide shaft 11 and an expansion block 12. The self-locking slide shaft 11 is slidably connected to the adjustment grooves on the first positioning arm 7, the second positioning arm 8, and the third positioning arm 9. The front end of the self-locking slide shaft 11 is connected to the expansion block 12, which extends into the groove on the outside of the clamp-type steel arch frame and is tensioned and fixed. The self-locking slide shaft 11 is slidably connected to the adjustment grooves on the first, second, and third positioning arms 9, forming a three-dimensional dynamic adjustment system. When the curvature or inner diameter of the steel arch frame changes, the operator adjusts the position of the expansion block 12 by sliding the self-locking slide shaft 11. The front end of the expansion block 12 adopts a tapered gradient structure, which can automatically adapt to changes in the width of the groove on the outside of the steel arch frame, achieving stepless tensioning. The expansion block 12 adopts a replaceable modular design, with the front contact surface offering three specifications: flat, curved, and toothed, to adapt to different groove cross-sectional shapes.
