[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of overhead lines in power engineering, and particularly relates to an overhead line tower foundation structure in a rock geological structure. Background Art

[0002] As an important infrastructure for promoting social progress and development, the construction quality and efficiency of power engineering directly affect the stability and reliability of power supply. In power engineering, the construction of the overhead line tower foundation is a crucial link. Especially in mountainous areas with complex terrain and hard rocks, the construction of tower foundations faces many challenges. Traditionally, in order to ensure the stability and safety of the tower, a foundation in the form of friction piles is mostly adopted, and the excavation is carried out by means of manual dug cast-in-place piles.

[0003] However, the traditional construction method is less efficient in hard rock formations. It not only requires a large amount of manpower and material resources, but also has a long construction period and high costs. Especially for the construction of the overhead line tower foundation in a rock geological structure, there are many problems. First, the hardness of the rock formation makes it extremely difficult to excavate holes, not only with high labor intensity but also low excavation efficiency. Second, due to the limited working space, construction workers operate in a narrow space, which not only increases the construction difficulty but also poses a threat to the safety of construction workers. In addition, the excavation of hard rocks requires a large amount of time and resources, resulting in a long construction period and high costs remaining high.

[0004] [[ID=)14]]Thus, although the existing tower foundation structure can ensure the stability and safety of the tower, due to the great difficulty in excavating the rock geological structure and the limited working space, the construction period is long and the efficiency is low.

[0046] Example 1:

[0047] As described in the background section, traditional construction methods are inefficient in hard rock formations, requiring significant manpower and resources, resulting in long construction periods and high costs. The construction of overhead power line tower foundations, especially in rocky geological structures, faces numerous challenges. First, the hardness of the rock makes excavation extremely difficult, resulting in high labor intensity and low excavation efficiency. Second, the limited working space forces workers to operate in confined areas, increasing the difficulty of construction and posing a safety threat. Furthermore, excavating hard rock requires substantial time and resources, leading to long construction periods and high costs.

[0048] To address the above issues, this embodiment provides an overhead power line tower foundation structure in a rock geological structure. This foundation structure employs an anchor structure and applies pre-tightening force to increase the foundation's friction and overturning resistance, thereby meeting the mechanical performance requirements of the tower foundation. This overcomes the shortcomings of the current common practice of using bored pile foundations, which involves large-scale and inefficient engineering and long construction periods.

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a foundation structure for an overhead power line tower in a rock geological structure, including: a reinforced concrete foundation 7 embedded in the cavity of undisturbed rock 8, with multiple bolts 1 pre-embedded in the top for fixing the tower. Multiple anchoring holes 5 are opened vertically in the reinforced concrete foundation 7, and anchor cables are inserted into the holes as anchoring elements 3. One end of the anchor cable is anchored into the undisturbed rock 8 by pre-tightening force, and the other end passes through the anchor plate 2 and is locked in place by a fastening nut 6. The gap between the anchoring holes 5 and the anchor cables is filled with resin anchoring adhesive 4 to ensure uniform transmission of anchoring force. The anchor plate 2 is made of steel, and the bolts 1 are evenly distributed around the circumference of the reinforced concrete foundation 7. The number of anchor cables is 4 and symmetrically distributed to meet the pull-out stability requirements.

[0050] Therefore, it is evident that existing tower foundations in rock geological structures are generally excavated manually, resulting in significant excavation depths. The excavation of hard rock requires substantial labor and machinery, and the construction period is lengthy. Since rock is a natural concrete, manually excavating it and then pouring concrete disrupts the original geological structure's stability and involves redundant concrete pouring.

[0051] The tower foundation structure provided in this embodiment allows for less excavation of natural rock, reducing inefficient, time-consuming, and high-intensity labor, and shortening the construction period for rock excavation. The pre-tensioning force applied by the anchoring structure increases the uplift force of the tower foundation, satisfying the uplift force loss due to reduced friction caused by the reduced excavation depth. Simultaneously, it reduces the excavation depth and the cost of concrete pouring, lowering the overall construction cost of the tower foundation. It also reduces the construction time consumed by excavating existing rock and reduces the labor intensity of working in confined spaces.

[0052] Example 2:

[0053] After excavating a cavity in the undisturbed rock 8, a reinforced concrete foundation 7 is poured. Three grouting pipes are pre-embedded inside as anchors 3, and steel anchor plates 2 are welded to the outer ends of the pipes and pre-tightened with nuts 6. The anchoring holes 5 and the filler 4 of high-strength grout with a compressive strength greater than C80 form a dense filling structure. Six bolts 1 are evenly distributed circumferentially on the top surface of the reinforced concrete foundation 7. The bolts 1 are pre-embedded and used to fix the tower support. During construction, the grouting pipes are inserted into the rock and high-pressure grouting is performed to enhance the anchoring effect. At the same time, the overall anti-overturning performance of the foundation is optimized by adjusting the pre-tightening force of the anchor plates 2 and nuts 6.

[0054] Example 3:

[0055] For weathered rock strata, anchor bolts are used as anchoring components 3. After the anchor bolts are inserted into the undisturbed rock 8, they are locked in place by anchor plates 2 and double nuts 6. Concrete filler 4 is injected into the anchoring holes 5 to enhance adhesion. Eight bolts 1 are pre-embedded at the top of the reinforced concrete foundation 7, evenly distributed at 45° intervals along the circumference to ensure the stability of the tower installation. During construction, the anchor bolts are driven into the rock strata at an inclined angle to increase the pull-out bearing capacity. At the same time, after the filler 4 hardens, it forms a composite load-bearing structure with the anchor bolts and the foundation, effectively distributing the load and reducing the risk of foundation settlement.

[0056] In summary, this utility model provides a foundation structure for overhead power line towers in rock geological structures, which has the following advantages compared with existing tower foundation structures:

[0057] First, the amount of excavation work is reduced: the rock strata themselves have sufficient bearing capacity as natural concrete, so only a small amount of rock needs to be excavated, reducing the amount of rock excavation, reducing labor intensity, improving excavation efficiency, and reducing costs.

[0058] Secondly, the amount of concrete poured and excavated is reduced, which improves construction efficiency, reduces transportation workload, and lowers construction costs.

[0059] Third, it increases the anti-overturning capacity: the setting of anchors and the application of pre-tightening force can increase the anti-overturning capacity of the foundation.

[0060] Fourth, easy installation: the anchors and anchor plates are pre-embedded and installed, and the pre-tightening force is applied after the foundation is formed, which facilitates operation.

[0061] Fifth, improved overall construction efficiency: Improved construction efficiency of individual foundations leads to improved construction efficiency of the entire overhead line foundation, adding value to the project.

[0062] The above embodiments are merely one of the implementation methods to achieve the technical solution of this utility model. The scope of protection claimed by this utility model is not limited to this embodiment, but also includes any variations, substitutions and other implementation methods that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model.
