Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. The utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances. Example 1

[0031] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides an integrated device for tunnel pilot excavation and steel arch frame installation, including: a tunnel body 1, with a plurality of holes 2 between the outer wall and the inner wall of the tunnel body 1 to enhance the support strength of the overall structure; a water tank 3, with a plurality of water tanks 3 located below the inner wall of the tunnel body 1 to drain accumulated water; and a support device 4 located inside the tunnel body 1.

[0032] In this embodiment, the bidirectional threaded rod 10 constitutes an integrated device for tunnel pilot excavation and steel arch frame installation as described in this application.

[0033] It should also be understood that traditional steel support technology uses H-beams or I-beams, which are welded or bolted together to form a frame structure. During construction, holes are drilled at regular intervals along the excavation outline of the pilot tunnels on both sides of the tunnel. Anchor bolts are inserted to fix one end of the steel section, while the other end is tightly bonded to the surrounding rock with shotcrete. Relying on the rigidity of the steel section itself, the pressure generated by the surrounding rock after tunnel excavation is transferred to the stable rock mass. At the same time, the shotcrete forms a protective layer on the surface of the steel section, preventing weathering and spalling of the surrounding rock, and together with the steel section, they form a support system that maintains the stability of the tunnel structure.

[0034] In this embodiment, the user presses the pressable pin 136 to push the support device 4 so that the iron ring 133 fits into the buckle ring 135. Then, the user releases the pressable pin 136 to connect the two rings, thus fixing the two sets of support plates 12. This operation is repeated on the other side. The support device 4 is then pushed to a suitable position. Standing above the support device 4, the user rotates the sleeve 11. The internal thread of the sleeve 11 drives the bidirectional threaded rod 10 to rotate, thereby adjusting the support distance by moving the two support plates 12 closer or further apart according to the threads. After this support is completed, the support device 4 is pushed to the remaining position for further installation. After the support is completed, the two sets of connecting devices 13 are disconnected, and the two sets of support devices 4 are removed from the tunnel.

[0035] Specifically, the support device 4 includes: a movable vehicle 5, located above the bottom of the inner wall of the tunnel body 1, in two sets, with wheels 6 respectively installed at the four corners below the movable vehicle 5; cylindrical slots 7, located on the side of the movable vehicle 5, in several evenly distributed, through which connecting rods 8 can be inserted; fixing pins 9, located on both sides above the movable vehicle 5, with slots at the top, through which bidirectional threaded rods 10 pass through the slots and through the two sets of fixing pins 9 and are connected to the support plate 12 at both ends; and a sleeve 11, having two sets of opposite threads, which is rotatably connected to the fixing pins 9, with the two sets of bidirectional threaded rods 10 having two sets of opposite threads and being threadedly connected to the two ends of the sleeve 11.

[0036] In this embodiment, the movable vehicle 5 is rectangular in shape, with two sets located above the bottom of the inner wall of the tunnel body 1. Four wheels 6 are installed at the four corners of the movable vehicle 5 for easy movement within the tunnel. Cylindrical slots 7 are horizontally arranged on the sides of the movable vehicle 5 for inserting connecting rods 8. Fixing pins 9, made of steel, are located on both sides above the movable vehicle 5, with slots at the top. Two-way threaded rods 10 pass through these slots, penetrating the two sets of fixing pins 9 and connecting to the support plates 12 at both ends. Sleeves 11 are hollow cylinders with two sets of opposite threads, rotatably connected to the fixing pins 9. The two sets of two-way threaded rods 10 are threadedly connected to the sleeves 11. Rotating the sleeves 11 uses their opposite threads to move the two-way threaded rods 10, thus adjusting the spacing between the support plates 12. The wheels 6 provide movement, and the cylindrical slots 7 are used to fix the connecting rods 8. This allows for the movement of the support device 4 and adjustment of its support range to meet the needs of different tunnel sizes.

[0037] Specifically, the support device 4 further includes a support plate 12, which is respectively installed at one end of two sets of bidirectional threaded rods 10 for supporting the inner wall of the tunnel body 1, and the bottom of the support plate 12 is fixed to one end of the connecting rod 8.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, two support plates 12, made of Q345 steel, are respectively installed at the outer ends of two sets of bidirectional threaded rods 10 to support the inner wall of the tunnel body 1. The bottom of the support plate 12 is fixed to one end of the connecting rod 8 by welding, and the connecting rod 8 is fixed in place with the cylindrical slot 7 on the side of the movable vehicle 5. The bidirectional threaded rods 10 drive the support plate 12 to move, making it fit against the inner wall of the tunnel, forming a stable support structure with the movable vehicle 5 through the connecting rod 8. This provides large-area support for the inner wall of the tunnel, enhancing the stability of the tunnel structure. Example 2

[0039] Based on Embodiment 1, in order to ensure the distance between the two sets of movable vehicles 5, a connecting device is arranged on the support plate 12;

[0040] Specifically, a connecting device 13 is also provided on the support plate 12, which is used to connect the two sets of support plates 12.

[0041] In this embodiment, the connecting device 13 is located close to the inner side of the support plate 12 and is used to connect the two sets of support plates 12 to form an integral support structure.

[0042] Specifically, the connecting device 13 includes: a cylindrical pin 131, which is vertically fixed to one side of the inner wall of a set of support plates 12; two sets of connecting columns 132, one end of which is fixed to the cylindrical pin 131, and the other end has a hole 2, with an iron ring 133 fitted in the hole 2; and a cylindrical pin 134, which is located on one side of the inner wall of another set of support plates 12, and the other end is connected to the second set of connecting columns 132.

[0043] In this configuration, cylindrical pin 131 is a cylinder, vertically welded and fixed to the left middle of the inner wall of a set of support plates 12. There are two sets of connecting pins 132, both cylindrical, with one end welded to cylindrical pin 131 and the other end having a hole into which an iron ring 133 is fitted. Cylindrical pin 134 is a cylinder, located on the right middle of the inner wall of another set of support plates 12, with its other end welded to the second set of connecting pins 132. The rotation of the iron ring 133 within the hole of the connecting pin 132 achieves the initial connection and positioning of the two sets of support plates 12. This initial connection facilitates subsequent fixing operations. Example 3

[0044] Based on Embodiment 2, in order to enable quick assembly and disassembly of the two sets of support plates 12, a pressable buckle is used in the connecting device 13;

[0045] Specifically, the connecting device 13 further includes: a snap ring 135, located in a slot at one end of the second set of connecting posts 132, which is a notched ring, with a pressable pin 136 installed at one end.

[0046] The locking ring 135 is a C-shaped notched ring located in a slot at one end of the second set of connecting columns, with a pressable pin 136 installed at one end. One end of the pressable pin 136 has a slot. Pressing the pressable pin 136 aligns its slot with one end of the locking ring 135, and securing it with a cylindrical pin, thus fixing the iron ring 133 within the locking ring 135, achieving a secure connection between the two sets of support plates 12. This quickly completes the fixing of the two sets of support plates 12, enhancing the overall integrity of the support structure.

[0047] Specifically, one end of the pressing pin 136 has a slot and the other end of the buckle ring 135 is fixed by two sets of cylindrical pins.

[0048] In this embodiment, one end of the pressable pin 136 has a slot, which is fixed to one end of the snap ring 135 by two cylindrical pins, realizing the movable connection and fixation of the two. The cylindrical pins limit the relative position of the pressable pin 136 and the snap ring 135, and the connection and separation operations are realized by pressing the pressable pin 136. This ensures the convenience of connecting and disassembling the connecting device 13.

[0049] In actual use, the user presses the pressable pin 136 to push the support device 4 so that the iron ring 133 is fitted into the buckle ring 135. Then, the user releases the pressable pin 136 to connect the two rings, which is used to fix the two sets of support plates 12. Repeat this operation on the other side. Then, push the support device 4 to the appropriate position, stand above the support device 4, and rotate the sleeve 11. The internal thread of the sleeve 11 drives the bidirectional threaded rod 10 to rotate, thereby adjusting the support distance by moving the two support plates 12 closer or further apart according to the threads. After the support is completed, push the support device 4 to the remaining position and continue the installation. After the support is completed, disconnect the two sets of connecting devices 13 and remove the two sets of support devices 4 from the tunnel.

[0050] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
