[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Existing rockfall protection structures at highway tunnel entrances have limited buffering and shock absorption capabilities when subjected to significant impacts, which may cause substantial damage or even destruction to these structures. Furthermore, these structures are complex, requiring large quantities of building materials and advanced construction techniques, resulting in high construction costs.

[0022] In view of this, the present invention provides a rockfall prevention and buffer protection structure for highway tunnel entrances. This structure, through the cooperation of a protective plate, a vertical plate, a connecting plate, a buffer plate, and an L-shaped plate, achieves a damping effect when the structure is impacted by falling rocks. The protective plate moves the vertical plate, and the buffer plate undergoes elastic deformation under compression. This solves the problem that existing rockfall prevention and buffer protection structures for highway tunnel entrances have limited buffering and shock absorption capabilities when subjected to large impacts, potentially leading to significant damage or even destruction. Furthermore, these structures are complex, requiring large amounts of building materials and advanced construction techniques, resulting in high construction costs.

[0023] Those skilled in the art can connect the components in this case sequentially. The specific connection and operation sequence should refer to the working principle below. The detailed connection methods are well-known technologies in the field. The working principle and process are mainly introduced below.

[0024] Example 1, by Figure 1-5 It is understood that the rockfall prevention buffer structure at the entrance of a highway tunnel in this case includes an arch wall 3. A support plate 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the arch wall 3. The arch wall 3 is made of steel frame reinforced concrete, ensuring the overall stability and robustness of the arch wall 3, and guaranteeing its overall support capacity and strength. During the casting process of the arch wall 3, a portion of the L-shaped plate 9 is inserted into the interior of the arch wall 3. After the arch wall 3 cools, the L-shaped plate 9 is fixedly connected to the surface of the arch wall 3. A buffer device is installed above the support plate 2. The buffer device includes a protective plate 4, a vertical plate 5, a connecting plate 6, a buffer plate 7, and the L-shaped plate 9. The protective plate 4 is located on the top of the outer wall of the arch wall 3. The entire material is made of glass fiber reinforced concrete to ensure the overall hardness and impact resistance of the protective plate 4. An L-shaped plate 9 is attached to the bottom of the outer wall of the protective plate 4 away from the arch wall 3. The L-shaped plate 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the arch wall 3. A vertical plate 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective plate 4. A connecting plate 6 is sleeved on the bottom of the outer wall of the vertical plate 5. The connecting plate 6 is fixedly connected between the arch wall 3 and the L-shaped plate 9. During the casting process of the arch wall 3, part of the connecting plate 6 is first inserted into the cement of the arch wall 3. After the arch wall 3 cools, the connecting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the arch wall 3 by cement. A buffer plate 7 is fixedly connected between the bottom of the protective plate 4 and the top of the connecting plate 6.

[0025] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that through the cooperation between the protective plate 4, the upright plate 5, the connecting plate 6, and the buffer plate 7, when the rockfall protection structure at the entrance of the highway tunnel is impacted by falling rocks, the protective plate 4 drives the upright plate 5 to move downwards, the connecting plate 6 supports the buffer plate 7, and the buffer plate 7 buffers the impact force, thereby achieving the effect of shock absorption. The buffer plate 7 is made of rubber, ensuring that it can effectively absorb impact energy and play a buffering role. Under the action of the connecting plate 6, the buffer plate 7, and the L-shaped plate 9, the buffer plate 7 is compressed and rebounds, and the buffer plate 7 absorbs the impact force generated by the upright plate 5, playing a damping role, thereby improving the shock absorption capacity and stability of the rockfall protection structure at the entrance of the highway tunnel.

[0026] Furthermore, a splicing device is provided above the ground pile 1. The splicing device includes a first horizontal plate 10, a first bolt 11, a splicing plate 12, and a second bolt 13. The first horizontal plate 10 is fixedly connected to the back of the support plate 2. A first bolt 11 is provided on one side of the first horizontal plate 10. The first bolt 11 passes through the support plate 2 and is threaded to the inner wall of the support plate 2. A splicing plate 12 is provided above the first bolt 11. The splicing plate 12 is attached to the outer wall of the L-shaped plate 9. A second bolt 13 is threaded to the inner wall of the L-shaped plate 9. The second bolt 13 passes through the splicing plate 12 and the L-shaped plate 9 in sequence.

[0027] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the inner wall of the support plate 2 has a groove, the size of which can completely fit the outer wall of the first horizontal plate 10. Through the cooperation between the first horizontal plate 10, the first bolt 11, the splicing plate 12, and the second bolt 13, the effect of longitudinal splicing of the rockfall prevention and buffer protection structure at the entrance of the highway tunnel is achieved when splicing is required. Under the action of the first bolt 11 and the first horizontal plate 10, the two support plates 2 are spliced ​​together, and a sealing gasket is fixedly connected between the two support plates 2 to ensure that small rocks and dust will not enter the support plates. Inside 2, the support plate 2 is damaged, which helps to extend the service life of the anti-falling rock buffer protection structure at the entrance of the highway tunnel. Under the action of the second bolt 13 and the splicing plate 12, the two L-shaped plates 9 are spliced. The surfaces of the L-shaped plate 9 and the splicing plate 12 are both provided with threaded holes. The L-shaped plate 9 and the splicing plate 12 are fixed by the second bolt 13. The first bolt 11 and the second bolt 13 are both made of stainless steel to ensure the corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance of the first bolt 11 and the second bolt 13. The splicing plate 12 is made of bearing steel to ensure that the splicing plate 12 will not be easily bent and deformed by external forces.

[0028] Furthermore, a top plate 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the protective plate 4. The top plate 14 is made of carbon steel to ensure that the top plate 14 will not be easily deformed or damaged due to external forces. A slope 17 is provided on the top of the top plate 14. A bearing steel is fixedly connected to the top of the slope 17 to ensure the hardness and impact resistance of the slope 17 and to guarantee the overall impact resistance of the slope 17.

[0029] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that, through the cooperation between the top plate 14 and the inclined surface 17, when a large rock falls on the top of the protective plate 4, the inclined surface 17 and the top plate 14 offset the impact force generated when the rock falls. Under the action of the top plate 14 and the inclined surface 17, combined with the hardness of the protective plate 4, it can better withstand the impact force from above, disperse the pressure, and reduce the risk of deformation of the protective plate 4 due to the impact of falling rocks.

[0030] Specifically, when it is necessary to extend the construction length of the anti-falling rock buffer protection structure at the entrance of a highway tunnel, the construction workers first insert the first horizontal plate 10 into the groove inside the support plate 2, and fix the first horizontal plate 10 and the support plate 2 with the first bolt 11. Then, the splicing plate 12 is suspended next to the L-shaped plate 9 by an external crane or other power device, and the L-shaped plate 9 and the splicing plate 12 are fixed with the second bolt 13. When the protective plate 4 is impacted by falling rocks, the protective plate 4 drives the vertical plate 5 to move downward, and the buffer plate 7 consumes the impact force generated when the falling rocks fall.

[0031] Example 2, by Figure 1-5 It can be seen that a second horizontal plate 15 is fixedly connected to the back of the top plate 14, and a third bolt 16 is provided on one side of the second horizontal plate 15. The third bolt 16 passes through the top plate 14 and is threaded to the inner wall of the top plate 14.

[0032] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the cooperation between the second horizontal plate 15 and the third bolt 16 achieves the effect of splicing the two top plates 14. This is beneficial to sealing the top of the rockfall prevention and buffer protection structure at the entrance of the highway tunnel, preventing gaps from forming at the top of the rockfall prevention and buffer protection structure at the entrance of the highway tunnel. A sealing gasket is fixedly connected between the two top plates 14, which is beneficial to sealing the two top plates 14 and preventing small stones and dust from entering the interior of the rockfall prevention and buffer protection structure at the entrance of the highway tunnel.

[0033] Furthermore, the bottom of the support plate 2 is fixedly connected to the ground pile 1. The ground pile 1 can be made of reinforced concrete to ensure the overall stability and support capacity of the ground pile 1. The ground pile 1 and the pile tip 8 are integrally formed. In the construction of the anti-falling rock buffer protection structure at the entrance of the highway tunnel, the ground pile 1 is first pre-buried in the ground, and the bottom of the ground pile 1 is fixedly connected to the pile tip 8.

[0034] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the function of the pile tip 8 is to guide the pile body of the ground pile 1 smoothly into the soil layer during the pile driving process, reduce resistance, and enable the ground pile 1 to better penetrate the hard soil layer, while also helping to improve the bearing capacity of the ground pile 1.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
