Obviously, the described embodiments are some of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0029] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set", "connected" should be understood broadly, for example, can be fixedly connected, can be detachably connected, or integrally connected; can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or the internal communication of two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0030] The existing technology for tunnel excavation uses a three-stage reserved core soil method. After the middle stage is supported, the lower stage and invert arch cannot be followed up in time. Moreover, the middle stage construction machinery requires a large operating space. At this time, the initial support cannot be closed into a ring as early as possible, resulting in poor overall deformation resistance. The on-site technology of using locking anchor bolts and expanding the arch foot makes it difficult to control the convergence deformation of the initial support.
[0031] In view of this, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention provides a temporary invert arch support structure for water-rich soft rock tunnels, which is installed at the arch foot of the arch frame 1 after the middle bench support is completed. It includes a transverse support member 2, a vertical support member 3, and an oblique support member 4. The transverse support member 2 extends horizontally, with one end connected to the arch frame 1 and the other end connected at an angle to the vertical support member 3. One end of the oblique support member 4 is connected to the arch frame 1, and the other end is connected at an angle to the vertical support member 3. The oblique support member 4 is located below the transverse support member 2. The transverse support member 2, the vertical support member 3, and the oblique support member 4 enclose a triangular area.
[0032] The transverse support 2 is connected to the vertical support 3 and the arch frame 1, and the settlement and inward force of the arch frame 1 are transmitted to the bedrock through the transverse support 2, which further enhances the action and reaction force effects.
[0033] The inclined support 4 is connected to the vertical support 3 and the arch frame 1, forming a triangular stable structure with the transverse support 2. This enhances the strength and rigidity of the temporary invert arch, effectively preventing initial support instability, settlement, and deformation, and ensuring construction safety.
[0034] The vertical support 3 is connected to the horizontal support 2 and the diagonal support 4, which transmits the settlement and inward force from the arch frame 1 to the bedrock through the horizontal support 2 and the diagonal support 4, thereby enhancing the reliability of the support structure.
[0035] The arch frame 1 is connected to the transverse support 2 and the diagonal support 4 to temporarily close the arch frame 1 into a ring, which can effectively suppress the convergence and settlement deformation of the arch foot of the arch frame 1, and at the same time avoid the arch foot of the arch frame 1 from deforming too quickly and affecting the installation and connection quality of the lower steel frame.
[0036] This temporary invert arch support structure, applicable to water-rich soft rock tunnels, involves promptly constructing a temporary invert arch at the arch foot after the middle bench support is completed. This temporarily closes the arch frame 1 into a ring, improving the overall deformation resistance of the initial support and thus reducing or suppressing the deformation of the arch frame 1. This temporary invert arch support structure has proven effective in the three-stage reserved core soil method construction of water-rich soft rock tunnels, demonstrating higher practicality and reliability. It can be widely applied to various types of tunnels, especially in the construction of water-rich soft rock tunnels with large deformation. By promptly constructing a temporary invert arch at the arch foot after the middle bench support is completed, the temporary closure of the arch frame 1 into a ring suppresses the inward and downward deformation of the steel frame foot. Based on the original design support parameters, the reserved deformation amount can be reduced, ensuring construction progress and quality. Simultaneously, it significantly improves the construction safety factor and reduces construction costs, mainly in the following aspects: Effective control of initial support settlement convergence: After the middle bench support is completed, a temporary inverted arch is constructed at its arch foot in a timely manner to temporarily close the arch frame 1 into a ring, suppressing the inward and downward deformation of the steel frame foot. In particular, it effectively suppresses the aggravation of the inward and downward deformation of the arch foot of the arch frame 1 during process transition, avoids the arch foot of the arch frame 1 deforming too quickly and affecting the installation and connection quality of the downstream steel frame, and at the same time avoids the arch foot of the arch frame 1 deforming too quickly and causing other initial support parts to deform faster.
[0037] To prevent the arch foot from being soaked and exacerbating deformation: The arch foot of a soft rock tunnel is prone to instability and settlement under the influence of water. After the middle bench support is completed, a temporary inverted arch should be constructed at the arch foot in time to temporarily close the arch frame 1 into a ring. This can effectively prevent the initial support arch foot from being soaked and causing instability, settlement and collapse, and ensure construction safety.
[0038] High efficiency and low cost in construction: After the middle step support is completed, a temporary inverted arch is constructed in time at its arch foot to temporarily close the arch frame 1 into a ring, suppressing the inward and downward deformation of the arch foot of the arch frame 1. Based on the original design support parameters, the amount of reserved deformation can be reduced, ensuring the construction progress and quality, while also greatly improving the construction safety factor and reducing the construction cost.
[0039] In the optional embodiment of this utility model, the area enclosed by the horizontal support member 2, the vertical support member 3, and the diagonal support member 4 is filled with concrete to form a concrete structure 5.
[0040] Specifically, early-strength shotcrete is applied to the area enclosed by the horizontal support member 2, the vertical support member 3, and the diagonal support member 4 for compaction. Combined with anchor bolts, this further improves the reliability of the support. Early-strength shotcrete refers to a specially formulated concrete, such as using early-strength cement and incorporating early-strength agents, which can achieve high strength in a very short time.
[0041] The area enclosed by the horizontal support member 2, the vertical support member 3, and the diagonal support member 4 contains a concrete structure 5, which improves the reliability of the support.
[0042] In the optional solution provided in this embodiment of the utility model, a first reinforcing layer 6 is provided above the transverse support member 2.

[0045] In the optional solution provided by this utility model embodiment, a second reinforcing layer 7 is provided on the side of the vertical support member 3 away from the horizontal support member 2.
[0046] Specifically, a second reinforcing layer 7 is formed by spraying early-strength shotcrete on the side of the vertical support member 3.

[0048] In the optional solution provided by this utility model embodiment, the vertical support member 3 extends in the vertical direction, and the horizontal support member 2 is perpendicularly connected to the vertical support member 3.
[0049] Specifically, the vertical support 3 is vertically connected to the horizontal support 2, so that the end face of the horizontal support 2 fits and connects with the side wall of the vertical support 3, which increases the contact area between the two, ensures the connection strength, and thus improves the support effect.
[0050] In the optional solution provided by this utility model embodiment, the top ends of the horizontal support member 2 and the vertical support member 3 are connected.
[0051] Specifically, the end face of the transverse support 2 is connected to the top of the side wall of the vertical support 3; or, the top of the vertical support 3 is connected to the side wall of the transverse support 2.
[0052] The top of the horizontal support 2 is connected to the top of the vertical support 3 to prevent the vertical support 3 from being higher than the horizontal support 2, which would cause the upper surface of the entire temporary support structure to be uneven and easily injure the operators.
[0053] In the optional solution provided by this utility model embodiment, the inclined support 4 and the vertical support 3 are connected at an angle to each other at their middle parts.
[0054] Specifically, the vertical support 3 is long enough to protrude beyond the inclined support 4, so that the inclined support 4 can be fully connected with the vertical support 3.
[0055] In the optional solution provided by this utility model embodiment, the transverse support 2 is connected to the side wall of the arch frame 1, and the oblique support 4 is connected to the bottom of the arch frame 1.
[0056] Specifically, the end face of the transverse support 2 is connected to the inner wall of the arch frame 1, and the side wall of the inclined support 4 is connected to the bottom of the arch frame 1.
[0057] The transverse support 2 is connected to the side wall of the arch frame 1, and the diagonal support 4 is connected to the bottom of the arch frame 1. This allows the diagonal support 4 to be located below the transverse support 2 and connected to the arch frame 1 at different positions, thereby enhancing the connection strength and enabling it to support the arch frame 1 from different angles and positions.
[0058] In the optional scheme provided by this utility model embodiment, the horizontal support member 2, the vertical support member 3, and the diagonal support member 4 are all made of structural steel.
[0059] Specifically, in this embodiment, the horizontal support 2, the vertical support 3, and the diagonal support 4 are all made of I-beams. Of course, the use of other materials for the horizontal support 2, the vertical support 3, and the diagonal support 4, or the use of different materials for the horizontal support 2, the vertical support 3, and the diagonal support 4, should also be within the protection scope of this utility model embodiment.
[0060] The high strength of the steel profiles improves the support strength.
[0061] In the optional embodiment of this utility model, the horizontal support member 2 is welded to the vertical support member 3; the oblique support member 4 is welded to the vertical support member 3.
[0062] Specifically, one end of the horizontal support member 2 is welded to the arch frame 1, and the other end is welded to the vertical support member 3; one end of the diagonal support member 4 is welded to the arch frame 1, and the other end is welded to the vertical support member 3. This ensures connection strength and improves support effectiveness.
[0063] In the optional solution provided by this utility model embodiment, multiple horizontal support members 2, vertical support members 3 and diagonal support members 4 are provided. Multiple horizontal support members 2 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the tunnel, and multiple vertical support members 3 and multiple diagonal support members 4 are respectively connected to multiple horizontal support members 2.

[0065] The following provides a detailed explanation of the effectiveness of temporary invert support structures for water-rich soft rock tunnels: The arch frame 1 is connected to the transverse support 2 and the diagonal support 4 to temporarily close the arch frame 1 into a ring, which can effectively suppress the convergence and settlement deformation of the arch foot of the arch frame 1, and at the same time avoid the arch deformation from affecting the installation and connection quality of the lower steel frame.
[0066] The transverse support 2 is connected to the vertical support 3 and the arch frame 1, and the settlement and inward force of the arch frame 1 are transmitted to the bedrock through the transverse support 2, which further enhances the action and reaction force effects.
[0067] The inclined support 4 is connected to the vertical support 3 and the arch frame 1, forming a triangular stable structure with the transverse support 2, which enhances the strength and rigidity of the temporary invert arch. It is compacted by spraying early-strength shotcrete and combined with the anchor bolts to further improve the reliability of the support. It can effectively prevent the initial support from becoming unstable, settling and deforming, and ensure construction safety.
[0068] The vertical support 3 is connected to the horizontal support 2 and the diagonal support 4, which transmits the settlement and inward force from the arch frame 1 to the bedrock through the horizontal support 2 and the diagonal support 4, thereby enhancing the reliability of the support structure.
