[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 3A tunnel arch structure provided in one embodiment of the present invention includes an inner arch support structure 10, a middle arch support component 20, an outer arch support structure 30, and an orifice pipe component 40 for constructing a pipe roof. The inner arch support structure 10 is erected on the outside of the open-cut tunnel lining structure 80, and the outer arch support structure 30 is erected on the outside of the inner arch support structure 10. The inner arch support structure 10 and the outer arch support structure 30 are connected at their ends, and the orifice pipe component 40 is connected to the outer wall of the outer arch support structure 30.
[0034] The outer wall of the inner arched support structure 10 has a first placement groove 110 for placing the middle arched support component 20, and the inner wall of the outer arched support structure 30 has a second placement groove 310 for placing the middle arched support component 20. The second placement groove 310 and the first placement groove 110 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, and the middle arched support component 20 is placed between the first placement groove 110 and the second placement groove 310.
[0035] In this application, the outer arched support structure 30 directly bears the surrounding rock pressure and the reaction force of the pipe roof drilling rig. By distributing the load to the arch foot, the middle arched support component 20 is embedded in the first placement groove 110 and the second placement groove 310 respectively, thus transferring the load bidirectionally to the inner and outer arch frames. The inner arched support structure 10 and the outer arched support structure 30 are connected at their ends, and the middle arched support component 20, together with the middle arched support component 20, form a rigid composite arch ring in the circumferential direction, which works together to resist the surrounding rock load and construction load.
[0036] The combined structure of this application adopts a steel structure, which can be assembled on site and fixed with 350 bolts. The construction is convenient and efficient. After the pipe roof is constructed, when it is necessary to remove the arch, it can be removed manually. The steel can be recycled, which greatly reduces losses and thus reduces carbon emissions.
[0037] Preferably, the inner arched support structure 10 and the outer arched support structure 30 are both corrugated steel plates, and the first placement groove 110 and the second placement groove 310 are corrugated grooves of corrugated steel plates.
[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the inner arched support structure 10 includes a first corrugated steel plate body 120, a first connecting plate 130 and a second connecting plate 140 arranged opposite to each other along the tunnel extension direction, wherein the first connecting plate 130 and the second connecting plate 140 are connected to both ends of the first corrugated steel plate body 120; the outer arched support structure 30 includes a second corrugated steel plate body 320, a third connecting plate 330 and a fourth connecting plate 340 arranged opposite to each other along the tunnel extension direction, wherein the third connecting plate 330 and the fourth connecting plate 340 are connected to both ends of the second corrugated steel plate body 320;
[0039] The first connecting plate 130 and the third connecting plate 330 are detachably connected, and the second connecting plate 140 and the fourth connecting plate 340 are detachably connected.
[0040] In this implementation, the corrugated steel plate main body possesses excellent bending stiffness and compressive stability, effectively resisting surrounding rock pressure and construction loads. The connection between the two main structures can be completed simply by tightening bolts 350, significantly shortening on-site installation time and improving construction efficiency. This combined structure fully utilizes the load-bearing capacity of each component; the central arched support component 20 is precisely positioned within the corrugated grooves of the corrugated steel plate, fully supporting the corrugated steel plate. Furthermore, the combined structure is further secured by bolts 350 between the double-layer corrugated steel plates, ensuring structural stability.
[0041] Furthermore, the first connecting plate 130, the second connecting plate 140, the third connecting plate 330, and the fourth connecting plate 340 are all L-shaped connecting plates, each L-shaped connecting plate comprising a horizontal plate and a vertical plate connected to each other; wherein, the horizontal plate of the first connecting plate 130 has a first connecting hole for a bolt 350 to pass through, and the horizontal plate of the third connecting plate 330 has a third connecting hole arranged one-to-one with the first connecting hole; the first connecting plate 130 is connected to the third connecting plate 330 by bolts 350 passing through the first connecting hole and the third connecting hole.
[0042] The second connecting plate 140 has a second connecting hole for the bolt 350 to pass through on its horizontal plate, and the fourth connecting plate 340 has a fourth connecting hole that corresponds to the second connecting hole. The second connecting plate 140 is connected to the fourth connecting plate 340 by the bolt 350 passing through the second connecting hole and the fourth connecting hole.
[0043] like Figure 3The first connecting plate 130 and the third connecting plate 330 are connected by bolts 350, and the second connecting plate 140 and the fourth connecting plate 340 are connected by bolts 350, which fixes the inner arched support structure 10 and the outer arched support structure 30 into a combined structure, ensuring the stability of the structure and greatly improving its resistance to surrounding rock pressure and construction loads.
[0044] In a preferred embodiment, the intermediate arch support assembly 20 includes multiple I-beams 210 spaced apart along the tunnel extension direction. The bottom of the corrugated groove is flat. The outer side plate of the I-beam 210 is embedded in the second placement groove 310, and the inner side plate of the I-beam 210 is embedded in the first placement groove 110.
[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, the I-beam 210 fits perfectly into the corrugated groove, fully utilizing its supporting function. The straight groove bottom design ensures that the outer and inner side plates (i.e., the flanges of the I-beam 210) are in surface contact with the corrugated groove. This allows the surrounding rock pressure or construction load to be evenly transferred to the inner arched support structure 10 and the outer arched support structure 30 through the flanges of the I-beam 210, avoiding stress concentration and improving the overall load-bearing capacity of the structure.
[0046] Furthermore, the orifice pipe assembly 40 includes multiple orifice pipes 410 spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the tunnel, and each orifice pipe 410 is connected to the outer side wall of the outer arch support structure 30.
[0047] Furthermore, the orifice pipe 410 is connected to the outer wall of the outer arched support structure 30 via a fixing reinforcing bar 420. The fixing reinforcing bar 420 stably connects the orifice pipe 410 to the outer wall of the outer arched support structure 30. The fixing reinforcing bar 420 can be welded to the outer wall of the outer arched support structure 30, or it can be detachably connected to the outer wall of the outer arched support structure 30, thus facilitating disassembly.
[0048] Furthermore, the vertical plate of the first connecting plate 130 is disposed outside the vertical plate of the third connecting plate 330, and the vertical plate of the second connecting plate 140 is disposed outside the vertical plate of the fourth connecting plate 340. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the vertical plate of the first connecting plate 130 is located outside the vertical plate of the third connecting plate 330, and the vertical plate of the second connecting plate 140 is located outside the vertical plate of the fourth connecting plate 340. This structural form can, to a certain extent, prevent external water from directly entering between the outer arched support structure 30 and the inner arched support structure 10.
[0049] In a preferred embodiment, a pad assembly is further included between the orifice pipe assembly 40 and the outer arched support structure 30. The pad assembly includes multiple pads 50 corresponding one-to-one with the I-beams 210, and the height of the multiple pads 50 gradually increases from the open opening to the closed opening, so that the orifice pipe 410 is inclined upwards. Furthermore, as... Figure 3 As shown, the inner arched support structure 10 is erected on the outside of the open-cut tunnel lining structure 80. One end of the inner arched support structure 10 and the outer arched support structure 30 is located close to the secondary lining 920 of the dark tunnel. The positional relationship between the secondary lining 920 and the initial support 910 of the dark tunnel is as follows: Figure 3 As shown. Those skilled in the art will understand that, in actual pipe roof installation, it is often necessary to tilt the pipe roof upwards to ensure it is driven into the surrounding rock in front of the tunnel at a certain angle, forming an "umbrella-shaped" or "fan-shaped" structure for advanced support. In this embodiment, by setting multiple pads 50 of gradually increasing height (from the open tunnel side to the closed tunnel side) between the orifice pipe assembly 40 and the outer arched support structure 30, it is ensured that the pipe roof driven through the orifice pipe 410 meets the angle requirements.
[0050] Preferably, the system further includes a truss foundation assembly 60, which is located at the arch foot and serves as a connection point for the bottom of the inner arch support structure 10 and the bottom of the outer arch support structure 30. Preferably, arch foot foundation assemblies are provided on both sides of the tunnel. Further, angle steel 70 can be provided as a connecting structure at the bottom of the inner arch support structure 10 and the bottom of the outer arch support structure 30, and the angle steel 70 and the truss foundation assembly 60 can be connected by bolts 350 to achieve fixation between them.
[0051] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
