[0002] The installation of steel arch frames, as the most important load-bearing structure in the initial support of tunnels, is one of the important measures to ensure tunnel safety. During the installation of steel arch frames, in order to compensate for over-excavation during blasting and ensure the elevation of the steel arch frames, multiple steel plates or precast concrete blocks are usually used for support at the arch foot position of the steel arch frames.

[0003] In related technologies, the steel plate or precast concrete pad support method involves installing several steel plates or precast concrete pads at the arch foot position in advance after removing loose debris from the arch foot and completing the measurement and positioning to ensure the elevation of the steel arch frame.

[0004] During construction, steel plates or concrete blocks of varying thicknesses are often used to create supports that meet the required height. However, because the thickness of the steel plates or concrete blocks is fixed, it is difficult to adjust the height of the arch feet of the steel arch frame. This makes the height adjustment process for the arch feet of the tunnel steel arch frame cumbersome, inefficient, and ineffective. Therefore, an adjustable support block for the arch feet of tunnel arch frames is designed. Utility Model Content

[0032] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a support pad for the arch foot of a tunnel arch frame, including a first pad 1, a second pad 2, and an adjusting rod 3 disposed between the first pad 1 and the second pad 2 for adjusting the distance between them by a screw. The adjusting rod 3 is a threaded rod.

[0033] An adjusting component 4 for locking the adjusting rod 3 is also provided between the first pad 1 and the second pad 2. The adjusting component 4 includes a fixed sleeve 41 and a guide rod 43 arranged sequentially from the outside to the inside. The adjusting rod 3 is located between the fixed sleeve 41 and the guide rod 43, and the three are concentrically arranged.

[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the fixed sleeve 41 is fixedly connected to the second pad 2, and the bottom of the guide rod 43 is screwed to the second pad 2, making it convenient to replace guide rods 43 of different lengths to adapt to adjusting rods 3 of different lengths. The adjusting rod 3 is threadedly engaged with the fixed sleeve 41, and the adjusting rod 3 rotates along the thread to adjust the height of use.

[0035] In this embodiment, the adjusting rod 3 has a guide groove 44 inside that slides with the guide rod 43. The guide groove 44 allows the adjusting rod 3 to rotate outward along the guide rod 43 while adjusting its height. The guide rod 43 has a flange 45 circumferentially arranged on the upper outer side. The flange 45 is fixed to the upper end of the guide rod 43. The cross-section of the guide rod 43 is T-shaped.

[0036] In this embodiment, a stop block 46 is fixed on the inner side of the bottom of the adjusting rod 3. The length of the stop block 46 is adapted to the length of the flange 45. The stop block 46 is located directly below the flange 45. The flange 45 at the upper end of the guide rod 43 cooperates with the stop block 46 at the bottom of the adjusting rod 3 to prevent the adjusting rod 3 from disengaging from the guide rod 43 when adjusting its height.

[0037] In this embodiment, the adjusting rod 3 has several limiting holes 42 inside, and the guide rod 43 and the fixed sleeve 41 each have a limiting hole 42 on one side. The limiting hole 42 is provided with a limiting component 47 inside, and the limiting holes 42 on the guide rod 43 and the fixed sleeve 41 are concentrically arranged.

[0038] In this embodiment, the limiting member 47 is a T-shaped screw. The T-shaped screw passes through the limiting hole 42 through the fixing sleeve 41 and the adjusting rod 3, and is threadedly engaged with the guide rod 43. After the adjusting rod 3 is adjusted, the T-shaped screw passes through the limiting hole 42 through the fixing sleeve 41 and the adjusting rod 3, and connects with the guide rod 43 to limit the height of the adjusting rod 3.

[0039] In this embodiment, a connecting rod 5 extends laterally between the adjusting rod 3 and the first pad 1. The upper end of the adjusting rod 3 is located at the bottom of the first pad 1, and the connecting rod 5 passes through the upper ends of both the first pad 1 and the adjusting rod 3 to connect the first pad 1 and the adjusting rod 3. A support member 6 is provided between the connecting rod 5 and the second pad 2.

[0040] In this embodiment, after the height of the first pad 1 is fixed, the support member 6 is set between the connecting rod 5 and the second pad 2. The lower sides of both ends of the connecting rod 5 are provided with support members 6. The support member 6 includes an outer support rod 61, an inner support rod 62, and a fixing screw 63 set between the outer support rod 61 and the inner support rod 62 for limiting the position. The height of the support member 6 is fixed by the fixing screw 63 passing through one side of the outer support rod 61 and connecting with the inner support rod 62.

[0041] In this embodiment, the upper end of the outer support rod 61 is inserted into the connecting rod 5, so that when the first pad 1 is adjusted by the adjusting rod 3, the height of the outer support rod 61 can be reduced, temporarily separating the outer support rod 61 from the first pad 1 to avoid conflict. The outer support rod 61 is sleeved on the outside of the inner support rod 62, so that the outer support rod 61 can move on the outside of the inner support rod 62. The fixing screw 63 passes through the outer support rod 61 and is threaded into the inner support rod 62. The height of the outer support rod 61 and the inner support rod 62 is limited by the fixing screw 63. The upper surface of the second pad 2 is provided with a mounting hole 65 that matches the inner support rod 62. The bottom end of the inner support rod 62 can be fixed by screws through the mounting hole 65, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly.

[0042] In this embodiment, a plurality of fixing holes 64 are provided on one side of the inner support rod 62. The fixing holes 64 on the inner support rod 62 are blind holes. A fixing hole 64 is provided near the bottom of the outer support rod 61. The fixing hole 64 on the outer support rod 61 is a through hole. The fixing hole 64 cooperates with the fixing screw 63 to realize the external fixation of the outer support rod 61 on the inner support rod 62.

[0043] Specifically, during use, the support pad is placed at the installation position of the arch foot of the arch frame, and the second pad 2 is placed on the tunnel foundation or the poured concrete surface to ensure stability. According to the actual height and stress of the arch foot of the arch frame, the adjusting rod 3 (without the support 6 installed) is manually rotated. At the same time, the adjusting rod 3 rotates outside the guide rod 43, causing the first pad 1 to rise or fall, initially adjusting the height of the support pad so that it contacts the arch foot of the arch frame and provides a certain support force. When the appropriate height is adjusted, the limiting piece 47 passes through the limiting hole 42 through the fixing sleeve 41 and the adjusting rod 3, and is threaded with the guide rod 43. Tighten the limiting piece 47 to limit the height of the adjusting rod 3, prevent the adjusting rod 3 from sliding during use, and ensure the height of the support pad is stable. Then, the first pad 1 is connected to the arch foot of the arch frame with bolts or other connecting parts to ensure a tight connection and effective load transfer.

[0044] To further enhance the stability of the support pads, after the height adjustment is completed, two support members 6 are set between the connecting rod 5 between the first pad 1 and the adjusting rod 3 and the second pad 2. The two support members 6 and the connecting rod 5 form an inverted "U" shape. The inner support rod 62 of the support member 6 is directly inserted into the mounting hole 65 of the second pad 2 for installation, so that it can better bear the pressure of the arch foot of the arch frame. Then, the outer support rod 61 is moved upward until it is inserted into the connecting rod 5. The outer support rod 61 and the connecting rod 5 can be connected by setting a cylinder at the upper end of the outer support rod 61 and opening a round hole on the bottom surface of the connecting rod 5 that matches the cylinder for insertion. The outer support rod 61 is then fixed to the inner support rod 62 by fixing screws 63.

[0045] If the height of the support pad needs to be further adjusted after installation to fit the arch foot, first loosen the fixing screw 63 so that the outer support rod 61 can move outside the inner support rod 62, separate the outer support rod 61 from the connecting rod 5, and then continue to rotate the adjusting rod 3 to adjust the height of the support pad to ensure that the arch foot is in a stable and appropriate position. Then use the limiting piece 47 to limit the height of the adjusting rod 3, and then adjust the outer support rod 61 so that it is aligned with the connecting rod 5 to complete the adjustment work.

[0046] By using the above-described method for supporting pads at the arch feet of tunnel arch frames, it is ensured that the supporting pads can effectively support the arch feet, adapt to different geological conditions and construction requirements, and improve the safety and efficiency of tunnel construction.

[0047] It should be noted that the assembly sequence of the support pads should be carried out in a reasonable order during production and processing to avoid conflicts. For example, the guide rod 43 with flange 45 can pass through the end of the adjusting rod 3 without the stop 46, or the guide rod 43 with flange 45 can be installed first, and then the stop 46 can be fixed on the adjusting rod 3.

[0048] The first pad 1, the second pad 2, the adjusting rod 3, the adjusting component 4, the fixing sleeve 41, the guide rod 43, the flange 45, the stop block 46, the limiting component 47, the connecting rod 5, the supporting component 6, the outer support rod 61, the inner support rod 62, the fixing screw 63, and other components of this utility model are all general standard parts or components known to those skilled in the art. Their structure and principle can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or through conventional experimental methods.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0050] Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," "third," and "fourth" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first," "second," "third," or "fourth" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.
