However, this invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of this invention.

[0026] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0027] Example:

[0028] See Figure 1 This embodiment provides a support structure suitable for a sightseeing cloud rail track in Danxia landform, including a cap beam 4 and a lower support structure. The upper side of the cap beam 4 is provided with the cloud rail track 5, and its lower side is supported by multiple lower support structures. The lower support structure includes anchor 2, pier 3, and pile foundation 6 and anchor cable 7 buried in the bank slope 1. The pier 3, anchor 2 and pile foundation 6 are arranged in sequence. The cap beam 4 is set on the pier 3, and the anchor cable 7 is connected to the anchor 2.

[0029] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the pile foundation 6 is provided with a cavity 6.1, and the anchor 2 is embedded in the cavity 6.1. The cavity 6.1 provides an installation position for the anchor, ensuring that the anchor can be fixedly installed on the pile foundation 6.

[0030] Furthermore, the anchor in the lower support structure can be made of steel, or cast from steel bars and concrete. The anchor in the lower support structure can be fixed to the pile foundation 6 by welding or bolting, and then filled with high-strength epoxy mortar to make the pile foundation and the anchor form a whole.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, a protective net 9 is provided on the upper side of the supporting structure. An anchor 2 is provided at the lower end of the protective net 9, and the anchor 2 is connected to the anchor cable 7. The protective net 9 can prevent falling rocks from intruding into the cap beam 4 and the Skybus track 5, thus affecting the safe operation of the sightseeing Skybus 8 on the Skybus track 5. The lower end of the protective net 9 is set on the anchor, which provides a solid installation foundation for the protective net and ensures the stability of the protective net after installation.

[0032] Furthermore, the end of the cap beam 4 near the bank slope 1 is connected to the anchor 2 at the lower end of the protective netting 9. The anchor at the lower end of the protective netting 9 can provide a stress point for the cap beam, increasing its stability after installation. Preferably, the anchor at the lower end of the protective netting can be made of steel, or cast from steel bars and concrete.

[0033] Preferably, the end of the anchor cable 7 away from the anchor 2 is provided with a plurality of anchor heads 7.1 at intervals, so as to increase the anchoring force by setting a plurality of anchor heads on the anchor cable.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the end of the anchor cable 7 furthest from the anchor 2 is located on the upper side of the slope normal 10. The angle α between the extension of the anchor cable 7 and the slope normal 10 is greater than 0 degrees. That is, the tension of the anchor cable can be decomposed into a compressive force perpendicular to the slope and an anti-sliding force upward along the slope, which can significantly improve the anti-overturning capacity. The value of the included angle α will affect the magnitude of the compressive force and the anti-sliding force. The larger the included angle α, the greater the anti-sliding force upward along the slope, and the smaller the compressive force perpendicular to the slope. Those skilled in the art can choose the value of the included angle α according to the actual situation. In this embodiment, the included angle α is preferably 5-25 degrees.

[0035] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the anchor 2 is provided with a conical cavity 2.1. The end of the anchor cable 7 near the anchor 2 is connected to the anchoring end conical expansion 7.2. The anchoring end conical expansion 7.2 is embedded in the conical cavity 2.1, that is, the anchor cable is fixedly connected to the anchor 2 through the anchoring end conical expansion 7.2. The cooperation between the conical cavity 2.1 and the anchoring end conical expansion 7.2 allows for quick assembly and ensures that they are coaxial. Furthermore, the side wall of the conical cavity 2.1 is provided with a spiral groove, and the anchoring end conical expansion 7.2 is provided with a spiral protrusion. The spiral groove and the spiral protrusion are interlocked, forming a three-dimensional interlocking structure through the cooperation of the spiral groove and the spiral protrusion, thereby improving the anchoring force. Furthermore, the axis of the conical cavity 2.1 is parallel to the length direction of the anchor cable. The conical cavity 2.1 can be set at an angle with the slope normal according to the value of the included angle α, so that after the installation of the anchor end conical expansion body 7.2, the anchor cable and the slope normal form an included angle α.

[0036] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the sidewalls of the cavity 6.1 on the pile foundation 6 and the outer surface of the anchor 2 that contacts the sidewall of the cavity 6.1 are provided with protruding ribs 6.2 at intervals along the height direction, and a groove is formed between two adjacent protruding ribs 6.2 in the height direction. The protruding ribs and grooves between the cavity 6.1 and the anchor 2 are interlocked, that is, the protruding ribs 6.2 on the sidewall of the cavity 6.1 are inserted into the grooves on the anchor, and the protruding ribs 6.2 on the anchor are inserted into the grooves on the sidewall of the cavity 6.1. Furthermore, the cavity 6.1 is stepped, and the portion of the anchor 2 embedded in the cavity 6.1 is also stepped. Through the cooperation of the protruding ribs and grooves and the stepped structure cooperation between the pile foundation and the anchor, a mechanical interlocking structure can be formed to ensure the stability of the connection between the pile foundation and the anchor. Furthermore, the shape of the pile foundation can be a cylinder or a cuboid, etc. The cavity should be designed to enclose the anchor 2 as much as possible, and the cavity is preferably a semi-open annular structure.

[0037] Preferably, in this embodiment, the pier column 3, cap beam 4, and pile foundation 6 are all made of UHPC concrete. When the anchor is not made of steel, it is also made of UHPC concrete and steel reinforcement.

[0038] Preferably, in this embodiment, the piers, cap beams, anchors, anchor cables, and cloud rails can be prefabricated in the factory and assembled on-site. This can effectively improve construction efficiency and quality, reduce on-site wet work, and minimize the impact on the Danxia landform environment. The pile foundation 6 is constructed using a cast-in-place method, with on-site pouring based on the geological conditions of the Danxia landform. By selecting appropriate pile foundation construction methods, such as bored piles, it is ensured that the pile foundation is tightly integrated with the rock foundation, providing stable and reliable vertical support for the entire support structure.

[0039] The support structure in this embodiment employs a series of measures, including multiple anchor heads on the anchor cables, a three-dimensional interlocking structure formed by conical cavities and conical expansions at the anchoring ends, the fit between protruding ribs and grooves, and a stepped structure between the pile foundation and the anchor. These measures provide a larger anchoring area and stronger anchoring force, enabling the entire support structure to be firmly anchored to the bridge slope in the Danxia landform. It exhibits high strength and stability, reducing subsequent maintenance costs. Furthermore, the piers, cap beams, anchors, anchor cables, and Skyrail tracks can be prefabricated in the factory and assembled on-site, effectively improving construction efficiency and quality, reducing on-site wet work, minimizing the impact on the Danxia landform environment, and protecting the ecological environment. The support structure in this embodiment has significant practical value and broad applicability, aligning with the development concept of modern green building.

[0040] In this embodiment, the upper side of the support structure is equipped with a protective net, which can further enhance the safety of the structure and prevent rockfalls from damaging the support structure and the operation of the smart bus. Connecting the cap beam to the anchor at the lower end of the protective net adds a fixed connection point to the cap beam, effectively increasing the stability of the entire support structure.

[0041] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
