[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tunnel arch technology, specifically a tunnel arch structure. Background Technology

[0002] Tunnels are engineering structures buried in the earth's strata and are a form of human utilization of underground space. They can be divided into traffic tunnels, hydraulic tunnels, municipal tunnels, mining tunnels, and military tunnels. Tunnels require arch structures for support. The overall casting of large-span arch structures places high demands on the molds, the production capacity of the production base, and the subsequent storage of the molds.

[0003] The prior art patent document with publication number CN214787437U provides: a prefabricated arch structure for long-span tunnels, including an arch base plate, side arch plates, a top arch plate, and pre-embedded threaded sleeves. The arch base plate is provided with pre-embedded threaded sleeves at both ends, and the side arch plates are fixedly connected to both ends of the arch base plate through the pre-embedded threaded sleeves. The top arch plate is installed in the middle of the two side arch plates. After the top arch plate is placed in place, it does not need further fixing due to its own weight. Leak-proof treatment is carried out between the side arch plates and the top arch plate, which improves quality, makes installation convenient and quick, and facilitates transportation.

[0004] Although the device has many beneficial effects, the following problems still exist: During the use of the device, the connection between the top arch plate and the supporting arch plate is not stable enough, and it is easy to slide during assembly, which will cause displacement and affect the support of the tunnel arch. Secondly, the deformation coordination ability between the arch structure and the surrounding rock is insufficient during the use of the device, and the installation of the supporting arch plate on the inner wall of the tunnel is not stable enough, which needs to be improved. In view of this, we propose a tunnel arch structure. Utility Model Content

[0008] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a tunnel arch structure in which the connection between the top arch plate and the supporting arch plate is more stable, the assembly is tighter to avoid displacement, the support effect of the tunnel arch is improved, the deformation coordination ability between the arch structure and the surrounding rock is better, and the installation of the supporting arch plate on the inner wall of the tunnel is more stable.

[0009] 2. Technical Solution:

[0010] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, according to one aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0011] A tunnel arch structure includes a top arch plate, with supporting arch plates on both sides of the top arch plate.

[0018] 3. Beneficial effects:

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] This tunnel arch structure uses an external hydraulic torque wrench to drive the screw to rotate, which causes the locking block to move after being inserted into the slot for locking, making the assembly tighter and preventing displacement. The connection between the top arch plate and the supporting arch plate is more stable, improving the support effect of the tunnel arch.

[0021] This type of tunnel arch structure uses anchor pipes inserted into the soil layer through positioning sleeves, and injects cement mortar which flows out from the grout outlet to improve installation stability.

[0033] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] This utility model provides an overall structural schematic diagram of one embodiment of a tunnel arch structure, including:

[0035] Please see Figures 1-5This embodiment of a tunnel arch structure includes a top arch plate 1, with supporting arch plates 2 snapped onto both sides of the top arch plate 1. Connecting components 3 are pre-embedded at both ends of the top of the supporting arch plates 2. The connecting components 3 include a guide frame 301, with a threaded sleeve 302 welded to the side wall of the guide frame 301. A screw 303 is threaded onto the inner circumference of the threaded sleeve 302. One end of the screw 303 has an internal hexagonal groove 304, which is for engaging with the hexagonal bit at the output end of an external hydraulic torque wrench to rotate and screw the screw 303 in. A locking block 305 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide frame 301 to limit the movement direction of the locking block 305 and prevent skewing. The other end of 303 is welded with a connecting block 306 that rotates with the inner cavity of the locking block 305. The connecting block 306 is to allow the locking block 305 to move but not rotate when the screw 303 rotates. Two positioning frames 307 are pre-embedded on both sides of the top arch plate 1. The side wall of the positioning frame 307 is provided with a slot 308. The slot 308 is to allow the locking block 305 to move and engage after being inserted, thereby improving the stability of the arch plate assembly. The side walls of the two supporting arch plates 2 are pre-embedded with reinforcing components 4. The bottom of the two supporting arch plates 2 is threaded with an arch foot plate 5. The top of the two arch foot plates 5 is provided with multiple mounting holes 6. The arch foot plates 5 are to allow the bolts to be screwed into the mounting holes 6 to connect and install the supporting arch plate 2 with the tunnel inner wall support.

[0036] It is worth noting that, in order to improve the installation stability of the supporting arch plate 2, the reinforcement component 4 specifically includes a positioning sleeve 401. An anchor pipe 402 is slidably connected to the inner circumference of the positioning sleeve 401. The positioning sleeve 401 is used to provide precise guidance and the insertion angle of the anchor pipe 402. The anchor pipe 402 is used to make the installation of the supporting arch plate 2 on the inner wall of the tunnel more stable. One end of the anchor pipe 402 is welded with a pointed tip 403, which is used to better insert into the soil and surrounding rock. The other end of the anchor pipe 402 is fitted with a grout stop plug 404, which is used to prevent leakage when injecting cement mortar. Multiple grout outlet holes 405 are opened on the outer circumference of the anchor pipe 402. The grout outlet holes 405 are used to allow cement mortar to flow out and adhere to the soil and surrounding rock, making the connection of the anchor pipe 402 more stable. Rubber sleeves 406 are bonded to the inner circumference of the multiple grout outlet holes 405. The rubber sleeves 406 are used to allow cement mortar to flow out in one direction and prevent soil and rock from entering.

[0037] Next, in order to prevent the top arch plate 1 from loosening after assembling with the supporting arch plate 2, the locking block 305 is L-shaped. The size and position of the locking block 305 match the size and position of the locking slot 308. The L-shaped locking block 305, which matches the size and position of the locking slot 308, makes the assembly of the top arch plate 1 and the supporting arch plate 2 more stable.

[0038] Meanwhile, in order to prevent gaps from being created during the splicing of adjacent tunnel arch structures, specifically, the length of the screw 303 is matched with the length of the threaded sleeve 302, and the end face of the threaded sleeve 302 is parallel to the side wall of the supporting arch plate 2. By using the screw 303, which is matched with the length of the threaded sleeve 302, it is easy to ensure that the screw 303 will not protrude from the side wall of the supporting arch plate 2 after being screwed in, thus avoiding obstruction of the splicing and assembly of adjacent tunnel arch structures.

[0039] Furthermore, to prevent soil and rock from entering the anchor pipe 402, the rubber sleeve 406 is made of silicone rubber, and the outlet end of the rubber sleeve 406 is a double-valve flat slit type. The silicone rubber material of the rubber sleeve 406 helps to improve strength and avoid friction damage between the rubber sleeve 406 and the soil and rock when the anchor pipe 402 is inserted. The double-valve flat slit type outlet end of the rubber sleeve 406 facilitates the backflow of soil and rock into the anchor pipe 402.

[0040] It is worth noting that, in order to prevent the anchor tube 402 from falling off, specifically, the inner diameter of the positioning sleeve 401 matches the diameter of the anchor tube 402, and a limiting ring 407 is welded to one end of the outer circumference of the anchor tube 402. The positioning sleeve 401, which matches the inner diameter of the anchor tube 402, avoids gaps that may affect stability, and the limiting ring 407 helps to limit the anchor tube 402 to prevent it from falling off.

[0041] Finally, to facilitate precise assembly of the top arch plate 1 and the supporting arch plate 2, specifically, positioning grooves 7 are provided on both sides of the top arch plate 1, and a positioning plate 8 is integrally provided on the top of the supporting arch plate 2. The size and position of the positioning grooves 7 match the size and position of the positioning plate 8. Through the positioning grooves 7 that match the size and position of the positioning plate 8, it is easier to make the fit between the top arch plate 1 and the supporting arch plate 2 more precise.

[0042] Combination Figures 1-5 The tunnel arch structure of this embodiment is used in the following specific process:

[0043] 1: When this device is needed for tunnel arch structure, a guide frame 301 is pre-embedded inside the supporting arch plate 2, and a positioning frame 307 is pre-embedded inside the top arch plate 1. The supporting arch plates 2 are spliced ​​on both sides of the top arch plate 1 respectively. The locking block 305 is inserted into the locking groove 308. The hexagonal bit of the output end of the external hydraulic torque wrench is inserted into the internal hexagonal groove 304 to make the screw 303 rotate and screw in, driving the locking block 305 to move, so that the locking block 305 is locked with one end of the locking groove 308. After the bolt is screwed into the mounting hole 6, the arch foot plate 5 is connected to the supporting arch plate 2 and the tunnel inner wall support.

[0044] 2: Drill a hole into the soil and rock layer from the positioning sleeve 401, then insert the anchor pipe 402 into the positioning sleeve 401, and bond a rubber sleeve 406 to prevent backflow of soil and rock in the grout outlet 405. The high-pressure cement mortar injected from the grout stop plug 404 flows out from the grout outlet 405, opens the rubber sleeve 406 and enters the surrounding soil and rock, and waits for it to solidify.

[0045] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the embodiments disclosed in this invention can be combined with each other in any way. The lack of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is merely for the sake of brevity and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
