Description

A flexible hollow anchor rod and construction method integrating digital monitoring Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of coal mine tunnel support, and particularly relates to a flexible hollow anchor rod integrated with digital monitoring and a construction method. Background Art

[0002] The development of intelligent tunneling and the trend toward deeper coal mining have placed higher demands on tunnel excavation support. First, it requires safe and efficient maintenance and control of complex tunnels. Deep tunnels, for example, face a series of prominent challenges, including severe deformation, intense mining pressure, and frequent dynamic disasters. Second, it requires increasing tunneling speed and enabling real-time monitoring and feedback of tunnel support status. Building an intelligent, fast-exploration system is an inevitable path for the current intelligent development of coal mines.

[0003] Bolting is the primary support method for coal mine roadways in my country. However, due to the confines of the narrow tunnel space, the maximum anchoring depth of rigid anchor bolts is 2.4 to 2.8 meters, making it difficult to anchor into deep, stable rock formations. This results in a weak foundation bearing ring and frequent roof collapse accidents. While cable anchors can address the shortcomings of limited anchoring depth and low strength, their installation is relatively complex, preventing timely post-excavation support. This leads to low construction efficiency and severely restricts excavation speed. To address these issues, flexible anchor bolt construction methods have emerged in the prior art, offering relatively simple installation. However, these methods still suffer from the large number of components and complex support procedures. Furthermore, they can suffer from eccentric anchoring, where the cable anchor bolt is not centered in the drill hole during anchoring, resulting in a maximum anchoring force loss of up to 30%.

[0004] For rock masses with developed fractures, it is difficult to achieve stable control of the tunnel by relying solely on anchor cable support. Combining the anchor cable support function with the grouting reinforcement function, and modifying and reinforcing the broken surrounding rock can significantly improve its strength and bearing capacity, and can better cope with more complex tunnel environments. At present, tunnel anchoring control is mainly achieved through hollow grouting anchor cables, and most grouting sealing devices are of the extrusion sealing type, with the sealing device and the rod body separately set. For example, the patent publication number is CN218563629U, the publication date is March 3, 2023, and the name is a patent for a hollow grouting mining anchor cable embedded expansion sealer. This structure is relatively cumbersome in the implementation process, and has a low sealing success rate and poor sealing effect.

[0005] Anchor stress monitoring is one of the main evaluation indicators of the tunnel support status. The existing dynamometer can only monitor the local stress of the exposed end of the anchor. With the application of optical fiber in coal mines, optical fiber can be used to monitor the stress of the anchor rod body with higher accuracy and sensitivity. The arrangement of optical fiber is mainly achieved by grooving the rod body or attaching it to the outside of the rod body. For example, the patent with the publication number CN113267127B and the publication date of March 8, 2022, entitled "Fiber Bragg Grating Sensing Tunnel Surrounding Rock Safety Monitoring System Using Anchor Rods as Sensing Medium", describes that the optical fiber is arranged by grooving the rod body. However, the grooving method will lead to a decrease in the strength of the rod body, thereby affecting the anchoring strength; the method of arranging the optical fiber on the outside of the rod body will increase the diameter of the rod body, which is easily affected by the scratches of the hole wall, resulting in the breakage of the optical fiber, which will make the monitoring process impossible to implement.

[0006] Summary of the Invention

[0016] The outer surface of the slurry stopper body is provided with a second external thread structure, and is assembled to the left end of the core tube mounting hole through threaded cooperation between the second external thread structure and the internal thread structure;

[0017] The centering locator is composed of a positioning sleeve and three positioning clips. The three positioning clips are evenly distributed in a ring shape, and the left ends of the three clips are evenly fixedly connected to the edge of the right end of the positioning sleeve. The centering locator is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the right end of the steel strand through the positioning sleeve.

[0018] The sealing sleeve is made of an elastic sealing material and consists of a continuous undulating section on the left and a necked section on the right. The sealing sleeve is sleeved on the outside of the transition area where the hollow anti-torsion sleeve and the flexible hollow rod are connected. The outer contour of the continuous undulating section is a continuously undulating structure and is sleeved on the outside of the anti-torsion connection section.

[0019] The anti-twist tray consists of a central tray body and four stop posts.

At the same time, a bearing part parallel to the support part is formed in the central area of ​​the eight raised longitudinal ribs, and eight octagonal grooves are evenly formed on the inner edges of the eight raised longitudinal ribs, and the size of the space formed inside the eight raised longitudinal ribs is adapted to the size of the central disk body; a small hole for passing the line is provided on one side of the main body; a ball head positioning hole is provided in the center of the bearing part, and the center of the ball head positioning hole is spherical and concave in the direction close to the support part; the ribbed tray is mounted on the outside of the fastening section through the ball head positioning hole, and at the same time, the four non-adjacent octagonal grooves in the inner surface of the ribbed tray are positioned and matched with the four protrusions on the anti-twist tray;

[0021] The self-aligning ball head is a hemispherical structure with an anchor hole at its axis. The self-aligning ball head is sleeved on the outside of the fastening section through the anchor hole, and the spherical part is inserted into the ball head positioning hole.

[0022] The friction-reducing washer is sleeved on the outside of the fastening section and is snugly connected to the flat portion of the self-aligning ball head;

[0023] The torque nut is assembled on the outside of the fastening section through the threaded fit between its internal thread structure and the external thread structure 1, and sequentially presses the anti-friction washer, the self-aligning ball head and the ribbed tray on the right side thereof toward the anti-twist tray;

[0024] The fiber grating sensor consists of an optical fiber and multiple gratings arranged on the optical fiber. The three fiber grating sensors are evenly arranged circumferentially, and each fiber grating sensor is embedded and pasted in a spiral mounting groove formed between two adjacent steel wires, and its right end extends to the left end of the center locator, and its left end ends at the right end of the hollow anti-twist sleeve; the three optical fiber output segments correspondingly connected to the three fiber grating sensors pass through the three strip-shaped wire-passing grooves and then enter the inner cavity of the ribbed tray, and pass out to the outside of the ribbed tray through the wire-passing holes.

[0025] As a preferred embodiment, the outer contour of the anti-twisting connection section is a regular hexagon, and six strip-shaped wire-passing grooves are evenly opened circumferentially on the outer contour of the anti-twisting connection section, wherein the three optical fiber output sections corresponding to the three optical fiber grating sensors are arranged in pairs and not adjacent to each other in the three strip-shaped wire-passing grooves.

[0026] As a preference, the outer diameter of the fastening section is smaller than the outer diameter of the anti-twist connecting section, and the hollow anti-twist sleeve has a transition annular boss between the fastening section and the anti-twist connecting section, and the outer diameter of the transition annular boss is larger than the outer diameter of the fastening section and smaller than the outer diameter of the anti-twist connecting section.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment, the cross-section of the inner hole of the continuous undulating section is a regular polygon that is adapted to the outer contour of the anti-twisting connection section, and its outer contour is a drum-shaped structure with multiple sections arranged continuously. The cross-section of the inner hole of the necking section is a circle that is adapted to the outer contour of the steel strand.

[0028] As a preference, the stop column is fixedly connected to the positioning protrusion by gluing or welding.

[0029] Furthermore, in order to facilitate real-time viewing of the stress state of each part of the anchoring section, a fiber Bragg grating demodulator is also included. The fiber Bragg grating demodulator is respectively connected to the optical fiber output sections of the three fiber Bragg grating sensors.

[0030] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the anti-friction washer has a good service life, the anti-friction washer is made of polytetrafluoroethylene material.

[0031] In order to effectively clamp the anchoring agent and significantly improve the stirring effect, the size of the annular space surrounded by the three positioning clips is consistent with the inner diameter of the positioning sleeve, and the outer edge size of the three positioning clips is larger than the outer diameter of the positioning sleeve.

[0032] In order to improve the sealing effect and ensure that the sealing sleeve has a long service life, the sealing sleeve is made of rubber material.

[0033] In the present invention, a core tube mounting hole and a rod body mounting cavity are connected at the axis of the hollow anti-twist sleeve. When the left end of the steel strand is inserted into the rod body mounting cavity, the exposed main body mounting section of the hollow steel tube is inserted into the core tube mounting hole. In this way, the core tube mounting hole can be used in conjunction with the main body mounting section of the hollow steel tube to achieve a grouting function. A friction-enhancing spring is provided between the steel strand and the hollow anti-twist sleeve. The friction-enhancing spring can be used to significantly increase friction, thereby ensuring that the steel strand can be firmly connected to the interior of the anti-twist sleeve by buckling and pressing, and effectively ensuring the load-bearing capacity of the connection. A slurry-stopping ring is provided at the left end of the rod body mounting cavity, and the root of the main body mounting section of the hollow steel tube is inserted into the slurry-stopping ring. The slurry-stopping ring can be used to block the gap between the outer circular surface of the hollow steel tube and the inner circular surface of the rod body mounting cavity, thereby effectively preventing the slurry injected into the steel strand from overflowing from the gap between the core tube mounting hole and the hollow steel tube. By inserting pins radially into the middle section of the steel strand, slurry passages can be reserved between the multiple steel wires using the pins, effectively preventing the passages from being buried by the steel wires. Since the hollow steel pipe has a slurry outlet inside the steel strand, slurry entering the central cavity can flow smoothly through the slurry passages to the outer area of ​​the steel strand, effectively filling the gap between the steel strand and the borehole wall. After the slurry solidifies, the flexible hollow rod can be firmly fixed in the borehole. A centering locator is assembled at the tail end of the steel strand, and three positioning clips are evenly arranged on the right end of the centering locator. This not only facilitates the use of the positioning clips to position and push the anchor, but also allows the anchor to be fully stirred during rotation. Furthermore, during the stirring process, the flexible hollow rod can be positioned in the center of the borehole, ensuring that the injected slurry can be evenly filled in the gap between the rod and the borehole, significantly improving the anchoring force and contributing to the construction of a high-quality support system. The outer contour of the anti-twist connection section on the right half of the hollow anti-twist sleeve is a regular polygon, and the anti-twist mounting hole in the center of the anti-twist tray is a regular polygon that matches the anti-twist connection section. In this way, when the anti-twist tray is mounted on the outside of the anti-twist connection section on the hollow anti-twist sleeve, it can be ensured that the anti-twist tray and the hollow anti-twist sleeve will not rotate relative to each other. Since four stop posts are vertically fixedly connected around one side of the anti-twist tray, during the actual installation process, it is only necessary to use the torque nut to provide a locking force to press the four stop posts on the anti-twist tray against the rock wall surface to effectively prevent the flexible hollow rod from rotating during the pre-tightening process, thereby applying a greater pre-tightening force and greatly improving the support effect.The fastening section of the left half of the hollow anti-twist sleeve is a cylindrical structure and is provided with an external thread structure 1, which can facilitate the installation of a ribbed tray, a self-aligning ball head and a torque nut on the fastening section, and can facilitate the application of pre-tightening force by using the torque nut through threaded matching; a strip-shaped wire groove is provided on each surface of the outer contour of the anti-twist connection section, which can ensure that the optical fiber output section of the fiber optic Bragg grating sensor arranged on the surface of the steel strand can be embedded in the strip-shaped wire groove, which can effectively prevent the optical fiber from being scratched by foreign objects and causing damage to the optical fiber. An internal thread structure is provided inside the core tube mounting hole at the end of the fastening section, and at the same time, the plug body surface of the slurry stopper is provided with an external thread structure 2, so that the slurry stopper can be firmly assembled at the end of the core tube mounting hole through threaded matching, thereby effectively sealing the grouting channel and avoiding the slurry overflow after grouting. Wrapping the sealing sleeve as a whole around the outside of the connection between the steel strand and the hollow anti-twist sleeve can not only ensure that the slurry will not overflow from the connection during the grouting process, but also can effectively seal the gap between the anchor rod and the drill hole by utilizing the outer contour of the sealing sleeve that expands due to extrusion, thereby avoiding the slurry from overflowing from the gap between the drill hole and the anchor rod, thereby realizing an integrated and comprehensive sealing operation; making the right end of the continuous undulating section a necking section is conducive to utilizing the necking section to effectively seal the variable diameter transition position in the drill hole during the installation process. The outer surface of the main body of the ribbed tray is uniformly provided with eight raised longitudinal ribs in the circumferential direction, which can effectively improve the load-bearing capacity of the ribbed tray and help to apply a greater preload to the anchor rod. At the same time, since this tray with a raised longitudinal rib structure can provide a greater load-bearing capacity, under the same support requirements, a lighter ribbed tray can be used to replace the traditional butterfly tray, which helps to reduce the labor load of underground workers. The inner surface of the ribbed tray is uniformly provided with eight octagonal grooves in the circumferential direction, which can facilitate the use of four of the octagonal grooves to cooperate with the four positioning protrusions around the anti-twist tray. In this way, when the four stop columns on the anti-twist tray are pressed against the rock wall, they can cooperate with the anti-twist tray to avoid rotation during the application of preload. By providing a small hole for passing the wire on the main body, the output end of the fiber optic Bragg grating sensor can be easily passed through the external space to facilitate connection with the fiber optic Bragg grating regulator. The self-aligning ball head is designed to have a hemispherical structure, and a spherical socket-shaped ball head positioning hole is provided in the center of the ribbed tray. This ensures that during the application of preload, the spherical portion of the self-aligning ball head and the ball head positioning hole of the ribbed tray are always in annular linear contact, thereby achieving the purpose of automatic centering and ensuring that the ribbed tray will not deviate from the predetermined installation position during the application of preload, which is beneficial to improving the quality of construction and significantly ensuring the support effect. A friction-reducing washer is provided between the torque nut and the flat portion of the self-aligning ball head to protect the torque nut and the self-aligning ball head during the application of preload, thereby avoiding the reduction of support strength due to mutual damage.Placing fiber grating sensors in the spiral mounting grooves formed between adjacent steel wires on the outer surface of the steel strand not only enables stress monitoring along the entire length of the effective anchor rod, facilitating real-time monitoring of the stress conditions within the effective anchor rod, but also avoids the potential for weakening the rod by directly grooving the rod surface without increasing the rod diameter, effectively ensuring the rod's anchoring force. Furthermore, the uniform distribution of three fiber grating sensors across the strand effectively avoids the potential for missed detection that can occur with traditional methods using only one fiber grating sensor.

[0034] The present invention also provides a method for installing a flexible hollow anchor rod with integrated digital monitoring, which uses a flexible hollow anchor rod with integrated digital monitoring, comprising the following steps:

[0035] Step 1: Drilling a stepped borehole in the rock mass, wherein the stepped borehole consists of a large-diameter section drilled near the rock mass surface and a small-diameter section drilled away from the rock mass surface, and the diameter and length of the large-diameter section drilled hole are adapted to the diameter and length of the sealing sleeve, and the diameter and length of the small-diameter section drilled hole are adapted to the diameter and length of the steel strand;

[0036] Step 2: First, three fiber grating sensors whose lengths match the length of the steel strand are evenly arranged on the outer surface of the steel strand, and each fiber grating sensor is adhered to the spiral mounting groove formed between two adjacent steel wires. At the same time, the three corresponding optical fiber output segments of the three fiber grating sensors are embedded in the three strip-shaped wire grooves on the hollow anti-twist sleeve; then, the sealing sleeve is mounted on the outside of the hollow anti-twist sleeve; then, the anti-twist tray is mounted on the outside of the left end of the hollow anti-twist sleeve, with the stop column located on the side close to the sealing sleeve; finally, the ribbed tray, self-aligning ball head, friction-reducing washer and torque nut are sequentially mounted on the outside of the fastening section, and the self-aligning ball head is embedded in the ball head positioning hole;

[0037] Step 3: First, place the anchor in the stepped hole, then use the centering locator fixed on the end of the flexible hollow rod to support the anchor and push it into the bottom of the stepped hole; then start the anchor drill to rotate the torque nut and the flexible hollow rod simultaneously, and then use the three positioning clips on the centering locator to stir the anchor. While the flexible hollow rod rotates, continue to push the anchor drill toward the bottom of the hole to stir the anchor evenly. After pushing it to the bottom of the hole, stay for 30 seconds to allow the anchor to fully solidify.

[0038] Step 4: Continue to turn on the anchor drill to destroy the pin on the torque nut, so that the torque nut rotates along the external thread structure on the fastening section toward the bottom of the hole, and compresses the anti-friction washer and the self-aligning ball head, and then pushes the ribbed tray and the anti-twist tray to move along the axial direction of the fastening section toward the bottom of the hole, so that the four stop columns on the anti-twist tray are pressed and positioned on the rock wall, and the anti-twist tray is used to push the sealing sleeve toward the bottom of the hole, and the shrinking section on the outer contour of the sealing sleeve is pushed into the connection between the large-diameter drill hole and the small-diameter drill hole. In this process, the positioned anti-twist tray is used to position the hollow anti-twist sleeve and the ribbed tray in the rotation direction, and the shrinking section on the outer contour of the sealing sleeve is used to seal the transition between the large-diameter drill hole and the small-diameter drill hole. At the same time, the large-diameter drill hole is sealed by the continuous undulating section on the outer contour of the sealing sleeve that expands in volume due to extrusion;

[0039] Step 5: Remove the anchor drilling rig and repeat steps 1 to 4 to install the flexible hollow anchor bolts.

[0040] Step 6: For each flexible hollow anchor rod, remove the grouting plug on the hollow anti-torsion sleeve, and install a grouting pipe at the core tube mounting hole at the axis of the fastening section, and use the grouting pipe for grouting; after the flexible hollow anchor rod is installed, the grouting is not carried out immediately. At this time, the cracks in the tunnel surrounding rock are not fully developed. Wait until the tunnel stress is released and re-balanced. At this time, the cracks have developed to a certain extent, but they are not interconnected, which can maintain the stability of the surrounding rock. Grouting is carried out within this time. By accurately controlling the grouting timing, the delayed grouting operation is started, so that the injected slurry enters the central cavity of the steel strand through the core tube mounting hole, the hollow steel pipe and the slurry outlet on the hollow steel pipe, and then fills the space between the steel strand and the small diameter section drilled hole through the slurry channel on the steel strand. After the grouting is completed, the slurry plug is installed at the left end of the core tube mounting hole by threaded fit, and the slurry plug is reset and installed to effectively block the slurry and achieve the closure of the rock cracks;

[0041] Step 7: Connect the three optical fiber output segments corresponding to the three fiber grating sensors on each flexible hollow anchor rod to a fiber grating demodulator, and use the fiber grating demodulator to monitor the stress of each flexible hollow anchor rod.

[0042] In the present invention, a stepped outer hole is drilled in the rock mass. While the small diameter section is used to drill a hole to accommodate the flexible hollow rod, the large diameter section is used to drill a hole to accommodate the hollow anti-twist sleeve with a sealing sleeve. Three fiber optic Bragg grating sensors are evenly arranged on the surface of the steel strand, and each fiber optic Bragg grating sensor is adhered to the spiral installation groove formed between two adjacent steel wires. This allows the anchor rod to have a stress monitoring function without increasing the outer diameter of the rod or damaging the rod structure, thereby enabling stress monitoring along the entire length of the rod. After the anchoring agent is loaded into the borehole, the three positioning clips on the centering locator are used to fully stir the anchoring agent, which can significantly improve the anchoring effect. During the application of preload, the self-aligning ball head is used to push the ribbed tray toward the bottom of the hole, thereby achieving the purpose of automatic centering. During the application of preload, the ribbed tray will not deviate from the predetermined installation position, which is beneficial to improving the quality of construction. By pressing and positioning the four stop columns on the anti-twist tray against the rock wall, the ribbed tray and the hollow anti-twist sleeve that match the anti-twist tray can be radially limited, thereby preventing the ribbed tray and the flexible hollow rod from rotating during the pre-tightening process, which can significantly improve the anchoring strength of the anchor rod. The transition between the large-diameter drill hole and the small-diameter drill hole is sealed by the tapered section on the outer contour of the sealing sleeve. At the same time, the large-diameter drill hole is sealed by the continuous undulating section on the outer contour of the sealing sleeve that expands in volume due to extrusion. In this way, the gap between the rod body and the drill hole can be multi-sealed, significantly improving the sealing effect. After the grouting is completed, the grouting plug is installed on the left end of the core tube installation hole through the nut, which can effectively seal the core tube installation hole, thereby preventing the slurry from overflowing from the core tube installation hole.

[0043] Compared with existing technologies, this flexible hollow anchor rod and construction method with integrated digital monitoring has the following advantages:

[0044] (1) The rod body is a high-strength steel strand, which only needs to be pre-tightened by twisting the nut during construction. Compared with ordinary anchor rods, it is conducive to achieving high-strength and extended anchoring. At the same time, it has a shorter installation time, can achieve timely support of the tunnel after excavation, can greatly improve the tunnel excavation efficiency, and promote the combination with intelligent fast excavation equipment;

[0045] (2) The flexible hollow anchor rod integrates the anti-twist device and the grouting and sealing device on the rod body, realizing integrated installation, avoiding cumbersome operation procedures, saving support time and significantly improving grouting efficiency;

[0046] (3) A centering locator is set at the end of the flexible hollow anchor rod, which can fully stir the anchoring agent and keep the rod centered during the stirring process, thereby improving the anchoring force and building a high-quality support system;

[0047] (4) The fiber Bragg grating sensor in the flexible hollow anchor is attached to the groove of the steel strand, which does not increase the diameter of the existing rod body and avoids the reduction of the rod body strength caused by the groove. The three fiber Bragg grating sensors are staggered and arranged together to achieve real-time stress monitoring along the entire length of the rod body, effectively avoiding the problem of missed detection by a traditional single fiber Bragg grating sensor.

[0048] (5) The ribbed tray in the flexible hollow anchor is lighter than the traditional butterfly tray and has stronger load-bearing capacity, which can effectively reduce the labor intensity of underground workers.

[0049] The present invention can achieve high-strength extended anchoring with simple construction steps, which can effectively improve excavation efficiency; efficient grouting operations can be achieved through an integrated sealing device; and by arranging fiber optic Bragg grating sensors, real-time monitoring of the support status can be achieved without reducing the strength of the rod body, which is conducive to building a high-quality support system.

The centering locator 1.6 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the right end of the steel strand 1.2 through the positioning sleeve 1.6a.

[0076] The sealing sleeve 2 is made of an elastic sealing material and comprises a continuously undulating section 2.2 on the left and a tapered section 2.1 on the right.

The tapered section 2.1 has a gradually decreasing outer diameter from left to right and is sleeved onto the outside of the steel strand 1.2.

[0077] As a preferred embodiment, the length of the continuous undulating section 2.2 is slightly shorter than the length of the anti-twist connecting section 1.1a, so that space can be left for assembling the anti-twist tray 3.

[0078] The anti-twist tray 3 consists of a central disk body 3.1 and four stop posts 3.2. The disk body 3.1 is a flat plate-like structure, with a regular polygonal anti-twist mounting hole 3.1b at its center that matches the outer contour of the anti-twist connecting section 1.1a. Four positioning notches 3.1c are evenly distributed circumferentially on its outer edge surface, and four positioning protrusions 3.1a are formed between the four positioning notches 3.1c; the four stop posts 3.2 are evenly distributed circumferentially around the anti-twist mounting hole 3.1b and are arranged one-to-one corresponding to the four positioning protrusions 3.1a, and each stop post 3.2 is vertically fixedly connected to the corresponding positioning protrusion 3.1a; the anti-twist tray 3 is sleeved on the outside of the left end of the anti-twist connecting section 1.1a through the anti-twist mounting hole 3.1b, and the four stop posts 3.2 are located on the right side of the central disk body 3.1;

[0079] The ribbed tray 4 is composed of a main body 4.7 located in the central area and a support portion 4.6 located around the edges of the main body 4.7. The main body 4.7 gradually protrudes from the edge to the center in a direction away from the support portion 4.6, and has eight raised longitudinal ribs 4.1 evenly formed in the circumferential direction. At the same time, a bearing portion 4.5 parallel to the support portion 4.6 is formed in the central area of ​​the eight raised longitudinal ribs 4.1, and eight octagonal grooves 4.2 are evenly formed on the inner edges of the eight raised longitudinal ribs 4.1. The resulting space is sized to match the dimensions of the central disc 3.1; a small hole 4.3 for passing the line is provided on one side of the main body 4.7; a ball-end positioning hole 4.4 is provided in the center of the bearing portion 4.5, the center of which is recessed in a spherical socket shape toward the support portion 4.6; the ribbed tray 4 is fitted onto the exterior of the fastening section 1.1e via the ball-end positioning hole 4.4, and four non-adjacent octagonal grooves 4.2 on the inner surface of the ribbed tray 4 are positioned to cooperate with the four protrusions 3.1a on the anti-twist tray 3.

[0080] The self-aligning ball head 5 is a hemispherical structure with an anchor hole at its axis. The self-aligning ball head 5 is sleeved on the outside of the fastening section 1.1e through the anchor hole, and its spherical part is inserted into the ball head positioning hole 4.4;

[0081] The friction-reducing washer 6 is sleeved on the outside of the fastening section 1.1e and is snugly connected to the flat portion of the self-aligning ball head 5;

[0082] The torque nut 7 is assembled on the outside of the fastening section 1.1e through the threaded cooperation between its internal thread structure and the external thread structure 1.1c, and sequentially presses the anti-friction washer 6, the self-aligning ball head 5 and the ribbed tray 4 located on the right side toward the anti-twist tray 3. As a preferred embodiment, the anchoring length of the flexible hollow anchor is 1800 to 11000 mm, that is, when tightened, the length of the rock mass clamped between the support portion 4.6 of the ribbed tray 4 and the centering locator 1.6 is 1800 to 11000 mm, thus ensuring that the flexible hollow anchor can have a longer anchoring length.

[0083] The fiber grating sensor 8 is composed of an optical fiber 8.1 and a plurality of gratings 8.2 arranged on the optical fiber 8.1. The three fiber grating sensors 8 are evenly arranged circumferentially, and each fiber grating sensor 8 is embedded and pasted in a spiral mounting groove formed between two adjacent steel wires, and its right end extends to the left end of the center locator 1.6, and its left end ends at the right end of the hollow anti-twist sleeve 1.1; the three optical fiber output segments correspondingly connected to the three fiber grating sensors 8 pass through the three strip-shaped wire-passing grooves 1.1f and then enter the inner cavity of the ribbed tray 4, and pass out to the outside of the ribbed tray 4 through the wire-passing hole 4.3.

[0084] As a preferred embodiment, the outer contour of the anti-twisting connection section 1.1a is a regular hexagon, and six strip-shaped wire grooves 1.1f are evenly opened circumferentially on the outer contour of the anti-twisting connection section 1.1a, wherein the three optical fiber output sections corresponding to the three optical fiber grating sensors 8 are arranged in pairs and not adjacent to each other in the three strip-shaped wire grooves 1.1f.

[0085] As a preferred embodiment, the outer diameter of the fastening section 1.1e is smaller than the outer diameter of the anti-twist connection section 1.1a, and the hollow anti-twist sleeve 1.1 has a transition annular boss 1.1b between the fastening section 1.1e and the anti-twist connection section 1.1a, and the outer diameter of the transition annular boss 1.1b is larger than the outer diameter of the fastening section 1.1e and smaller than the outer diameter of the anti-twist connection section 1.1a.

[0086] As a preferred embodiment, the cross-section of the inner hole of the continuous undulating section 2.2 is a regular polygon that is adapted to the outer contour of the anti-twisting connecting section 1.1a, and its outer contour is a drum-shaped structure with multiple sections arranged continuously. The cross-section of the inner hole of the necking section 2.1 is a circle that is adapted to the outer contour of the steel strand.

[0087] As a preference, the stop post 3.2 is fixedly connected to the positioning protrusion 3.1a by gluing or welding.

[0088] In order to facilitate real-time viewing of the stress state of each part of the anchoring section, a fiber Bragg grating demodulator is also included, and the fiber Bragg grating demodulator is connected to the optical fiber output sections of the three fiber Bragg grating sensors 8 respectively.

[0089] In order to ensure that the anti-friction washer has a long service life, the anti-friction washer 6 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene material.

[0090] In order to effectively clamp the anchoring agent and significantly improve the stirring effect, the size of the annular space surrounded by the three positioning clips 1.6b is consistent with the inner diameter of the positioning sleeve 1.6a, and the outer edge size of the three positioning clips 1.6b is larger than the outer diameter of the positioning sleeve 1.6a.

[0091] In order to improve the sealing effect and ensure that the sealing sleeve has a long service life, the sealing sleeve 2 is made of rubber material.

[0092] In the present invention, a core tube mounting hole and a rod body mounting cavity are connected at the axis of the hollow anti-twist sleeve. When the left end of the steel strand is inserted into the rod body mounting cavity, the exposed main body mounting section of the hollow steel tube is inserted into the core tube mounting hole. In this way, the core tube mounting hole can be used in conjunction with the main body mounting section of the hollow steel tube to achieve a grouting function. A friction-enhancing spring is provided between the steel strand and the hollow anti-twist sleeve. The friction-enhancing spring can be used to significantly increase friction, thereby ensuring that the steel strand can be firmly connected to the interior of the anti-twist sleeve by buckling and pressing, and effectively ensuring the load-bearing capacity of the connection. A slurry-stopping ring is provided at the left end of the rod body mounting cavity, and the root of the main body mounting section of the hollow steel tube is inserted into the slurry-stopping ring. The slurry-stopping ring can be used to block the gap between the outer circular surface of the hollow steel tube and the inner circular surface of the rod body mounting cavity, thereby effectively preventing the slurry injected into the steel strand from overflowing from the gap between the core tube mounting hole and the hollow steel tube. By inserting pins radially in the middle section of the steel strand, slurry passages can be reserved between the multiple steel wires using the pins, and the slurry passages can be effectively prevented from being buried by the steel wires. Since the hollow steel pipe is provided with a slurry outlet inside the steel strand, it is ensured that the slurry entering the central cavity can smoothly flow through the slurry passage to the outer area of ​​the steel strand, thereby effectively filling the gap between the steel strand and the borehole wall. After the slurry solidifies, the flexible hollow rod body can be firmly fixed in the borehole. A centering locator is assembled at the tail end of the steel strand, and three positioning clips are evenly arranged on the right end of the centering locator. This not only facilitates the use of the positioning clips to position and push the anchor agent, but also allows the anchor agent to be fully stirred during the rotation process. In addition, the flexible hollow rod body can be placed in the central area of ​​the borehole during the stirring process, thereby ensuring that the injected slurry can be evenly filled in the gap between the rod body and the borehole, which can significantly improve the anchoring force and help to build a high-quality support system. The outer contour of the anti-twist connection section on the right half of the hollow anti-twist sleeve is a regular polygon, and the anti-twist mounting hole in the center of the anti-twist tray is a regular polygon that matches the anti-twist connection section. In this way, when the anti-twist tray is mounted on the outside of the anti-twist connection section on the hollow anti-twist sleeve, it can be ensured that the anti-twist tray and the hollow anti-twist sleeve will not rotate relative to each other. Since four stop posts are vertically fixedly connected around one side of the anti-twist tray, during the actual installation process, it is only necessary to use the torque nut to provide a locking force to press the four stop posts on the anti-twist tray against the rock wall surface to effectively prevent the flexible hollow rod from rotating during the pre-tightening process, thereby applying a greater pre-tightening force and greatly improving the support effect.The fastening section of the left half of the hollow anti-twist sleeve is a cylindrical structure and is provided with an external thread structure 1, which can facilitate the installation of a ribbed tray, a self-aligning ball head and a torque nut on the fastening section, and can facilitate the application of pre-tightening force by using the torque nut through threaded matching; a strip-shaped wire groove is provided on each surface of the outer contour of the anti-twist connection section, which can ensure that the optical fiber output section of the fiber optic Bragg grating sensor arranged on the surface of the steel strand can be embedded in the strip-shaped wire groove, which can effectively prevent the optical fiber from being scratched by foreign objects and causing damage to the optical fiber. An internal thread structure is provided inside the core tube mounting hole at the end of the fastening section, and at the same time, the plug body surface of the slurry stopper is provided with an external thread structure 2, so that the slurry stopper can be firmly assembled at the end of the core tube mounting hole through threaded matching, thereby effectively sealing the grouting channel and avoiding the slurry overflow after grouting. Wrapping the sealing sleeve as a whole around the outside of the connection between the steel strand and the hollow anti-twist sleeve can not only ensure that the slurry will not overflow from the connection during the grouting process, but also can effectively seal the gap between the anchor rod and the drill hole by utilizing the outer contour of the sealing sleeve that expands due to extrusion, thereby avoiding the slurry from overflowing from the gap between the drill hole and the anchor rod, thereby realizing an integrated and comprehensive sealing operation; making the right end of the continuous undulating section a necking section is conducive to utilizing the necking section to effectively seal the variable diameter transition position in the drill hole during the installation process. The outer surface of the main body of the ribbed tray is uniformly provided with eight raised longitudinal ribs in the circumferential direction, which can effectively improve the load-bearing capacity of the ribbed tray and help apply a greater preload to the anchor rod. At the same time, because this tray with a raised longitudinal rib structure can provide a greater load-bearing capacity, under the same support requirements, a lighter ribbed tray can be used to replace the traditional butterfly tray, which helps reduce the workload of underground workers. The inner surface of the ribbed tray is uniformly provided with eight octagonal grooves in the circumferential direction, so that four of the octagonal grooves can be used to cooperate with the four positioning protrusions around the anti-twist tray. In this way, when the four stop columns on the anti-twist tray are pressed against the rock wall, they can cooperate with the anti-twist tray to avoid rotation during the application of preload. By providing a small hole for passing the wire on the main body, the output end of the fiber optic Bragg grating sensor can be easily passed through to the external space for connection with the fiber optic Bragg grating regulator. The self-aligning ball head is designed to have a hemispherical structure, and a spherical socket-shaped ball head positioning hole is provided in the center of the ribbed tray. This ensures that during the application of preload, the spherical portion of the self-aligning ball head and the ball head positioning hole of the ribbed tray are always in annular linear contact, thereby achieving the purpose of automatic centering and ensuring that the ribbed tray will not deviate from the predetermined installation position during the application of preload, which is beneficial to improving the quality of construction and significantly ensuring the support effect. A friction-reducing washer is provided between the torque nut and the flat portion of the self-aligning ball head to protect the torque nut and the self-aligning ball head during the application of preload, thereby avoiding the reduction of support strength due to mutual damage.Placing fiber grating sensors in the spiral mounting grooves formed between adjacent steel wires on the outer surface of the steel strand not only enables stress monitoring along the entire length of the effective anchor rod, facilitating real-time monitoring of the stress conditions within the effective anchor rod, but also avoids the potential for weakening the rod by directly grooving the rod surface without increasing the rod diameter, effectively ensuring the rod's anchoring force. Furthermore, the uniform distribution of three fiber grating sensors across the strand effectively avoids the potential for missed detection that can occur with traditional methods using only one fiber grating sensor.

[0093] The present invention also provides a method for installing a flexible hollow anchor rod with integrated digital monitoring, which uses a flexible hollow anchor rod with integrated digital monitoring, comprising the following steps:

[0094] Step 1: As shown in FIG2 , a stepped borehole 9 is drilled in the rock mass 10. The stepped borehole 9 consists of a large-diameter section borehole 9.1 close to the surface of the rock mass 10 and a small-diameter section borehole 9.2 away from the surface of the rock mass 10. The diameter and length of the large-diameter section borehole 9.1 match the diameter and length of the sealing sleeve 2, while the diameter and length of the small-diameter section borehole 9.2 match the diameter and length of the steel strand 1.2.

[0095] Step 2: As shown in FIG14 , first, three fiber grating sensors 8 having a length that matches the length of the steel strand 1.2 are evenly arranged circumferentially on the outer surface of the steel strand 1.2, and each fiber grating sensor 8 is adhered to the spiral mounting groove formed between two adjacent steel wires. At the same time, the three corresponding optical fiber output segments of the three fiber grating sensors 8 are embedded in the three strip-shaped wire-passing grooves 1.1f on the hollow anti-twist sleeve 1.1; then, the sealing sleeve 2 is mounted on the outside of the hollow anti-twist sleeve 1.1; then, the anti-twist tray 3 is mounted on the outside of the left end of the hollow anti-twist sleeve 1.1, and the stop column 3.2 is located on the side close to the sealing sleeve 2; finally, the ribbed tray 4, the self-aligning ball head 5, the friction-reducing washer 6 and the torque nut 7 are sequentially mounted on the outside of the fastening section 1.1e, and the self-aligning ball head 5 is embedded in the ball head positioning hole 4.4;

[0096] Step 3: First, place the anchoring agent in the stepped hole 9, and then use the centering positioner 1.6 fixed to the end of the flexible hollow rod 1 to support the anchoring agent and push it into the bottom of the stepped hole 9; then start the anchor drill to drive the torque nut 7 to rotate and synchronously drive the flexible hollow rod 1 to rotate, and then use the three positioning clips 1.6b on the centering positioner 1.6 to stir the anchoring agent. While the flexible hollow rod 1 rotates, continue to push the anchor drill toward the bottom of the hole to stir the anchoring agent evenly. After pushing it to the bottom of the hole, stay for 30 seconds to allow the anchoring agent to fully solidify;

[0097] Step 4: Continue to turn on the anchor drill to destroy the pin on the torque nut 7, so that the torque nut 7 rotates along the external thread structure 1.1c on the fastening section 1.1e toward the bottom of the hole, and presses the anti-friction washer 6 and the self-aligning ball head 5, and then pushes the ribbed tray 4 and the anti-twist tray 3 along the axial direction of the fastening section 1.1e toward the bottom of the hole, so that the four stop columns 3.2 on the anti-twist tray 3 are pressed and positioned on the rock wall, and the anti-twist tray 3 is used to push the sealing sleeve 2 toward the bottom of the hole, and the sealing sleeve The tapered section 2.1 on the outer contour of the sealing sleeve 2 is pushed into the connection between the large-diameter drilled hole 9.1 and the small-diameter drilled hole 9.2. During this process, the already positioned anti-twist tray 3 is used to rotationally position the hollow anti-twist sleeve 1.1 and the ribbed tray 4. The tapered section 2.1 on the outer contour of the sealing sleeve 2 is used to seal the transition between the large-diameter drilled hole 9.1 and the small-diameter drilled hole 9.2. At the same time, the continuously undulating section 2.2 on the outer contour of the sealing sleeve 2, which has expanded in volume due to extrusion, is used to seal the large-diameter drilled hole 9.1.

[0098] Step 5: Remove the anchor drilling rig and repeat steps 1 to 4 to install the flexible hollow anchor bolts.

[0099] Step 6: For each flexible hollow anchor rod, remove the stop plug 1.5 on the hollow anti-torsion sleeve 1.1, and install a grouting pipe at the core pipe installation hole 1.1h at the axis of the fastening section 1.1e, and use the grouting pipe to perform grouting; after the flexible hollow anchor rod is installed, grouting is not carried out immediately. At this time, the cracks in the tunnel surrounding rock are not fully developed. Wait until the tunnel stress is released and re-balanced. At this time, the cracks have developed to a certain extent, but are not interconnected, which can maintain the stability of the surrounding rock. Grouting is carried out during this time. By accurately controlling the grouting timing, the implementation Perform delayed grouting operations, allowing the injected slurry to enter the central cavity of the steel strand 1.2 through the core tube mounting hole 1.1h, the hollow steel tube 1.2c, and the slurry outlet 1.2a on the hollow steel tube 1.2c, and then flow through the slurry passage 1.2d on the steel strand 1.2 to fill the space between the steel strand 1.2 and the small-diameter drilled hole 9.2. After the grouting is completed, a slurry stopper 1.5 is installed at the left end of the core tube mounting hole 1.1h through threaded engagement, and the slurry stopper 1.5 is reinstalled to effectively block the slurry and seal the rock mass fissures.

[0100] Step 7: Connect the three optical fiber output segments corresponding to the three fiber grating sensors 8 on each flexible hollow anchor rod to a fiber grating demodulator, and use the fiber grating demodulator to monitor the stress of each flexible hollow anchor rod.

[0101] In the present invention, a stepped outer hole is drilled in the rock mass. While the small diameter section is used to drill a hole to accommodate the flexible hollow rod, the large diameter section is used to drill a hole to accommodate the hollow anti-twist sleeve with a sealing sleeve. Three fiber optic Bragg grating sensors are evenly arranged on the surface of the steel strand, and each fiber optic Bragg grating sensor is adhered to the spiral installation groove formed between two adjacent steel wires. This allows the anchor rod to have a stress monitoring function without increasing the outer diameter of the rod or damaging the rod structure, thereby enabling stress monitoring along the entire length of the rod. After the anchoring agent is loaded into the borehole, the three positioning clips on the centering locator are used to fully stir the anchoring agent, which can significantly improve the anchoring effect. During the application of preload, the self-aligning ball head is used to push the ribbed tray toward the bottom of the hole, thereby achieving the purpose of automatic centering. During the application of preload, the ribbed tray will not deviate from the predetermined installation position, which is beneficial to improving the quality of construction. By pressing and positioning the four stop columns on the anti-twist tray against the rock wall, the ribbed tray and the hollow anti-twist sleeve that match the anti-twist tray can be radially limited, thereby preventing the ribbed tray and the flexible hollow rod from rotating during the pre-tightening process, which can significantly improve the anchoring strength of the anchor rod. The transition between the large-diameter drill hole and the small-diameter drill hole is sealed by the tapered section on the outer contour of the sealing sleeve. At the same time, the large-diameter drill hole is sealed by the continuous undulating section on the outer contour of the sealing sleeve that expands in volume due to extrusion. In this way, the gap between the rod body and the drill hole can be multi-sealed, significantly improving the sealing effect. After the grouting is completed, the grouting plug is installed on the left end of the core tube installation hole through the nut, which can effectively seal the core tube installation hole, thereby preventing the slurry from overflowing from the core tube installation hole.

[0102] Compared with existing technologies, this flexible hollow anchor rod and construction method with integrated digital monitoring has the following advantages:

[0103] (1) The rod body is a high-strength steel strand, which only needs to be pre-tightened by twisting the nut during construction. Compared with ordinary anchor rods, it is conducive to achieving high-strength and extended anchoring. At the same time, it has a shorter installation time, can achieve timely support of the tunnel after excavation, can greatly improve the tunnel excavation efficiency, and promote the combination with intelligent fast excavation equipment;

[0104] (2) The flexible hollow anchor rod integrates the anti-twist device and the grouting and sealing device on the rod body, realizing integrated installation, avoiding cumbersome operation procedures, saving support time and significantly improving grouting efficiency;

[0105] (3) A centering locator is set at the end of the flexible hollow anchor rod, which can fully stir the anchoring agent and keep the rod centered during the stirring process, thereby improving the anchoring force and building a high-quality support system;

[0106] (4) The fiber Bragg grating sensor in the flexible hollow anchor is attached to the groove of the steel strand, which does not increase the diameter of the existing rod body and avoids the reduction of the rod body strength caused by the groove. The three fiber Bragg grating sensors are staggered and arranged together to achieve real-time stress monitoring along the entire length of the rod body, effectively avoiding the problem of missed detection by a traditional single fiber Bragg grating sensor.

[0107] (5) The ribbed tray in the flexible hollow anchor is lighter than the traditional butterfly tray and has stronger load-bearing capacity, which can effectively reduce the labor intensity of underground workers.

[0108] The present invention can achieve high-strength extended anchoring with simple construction steps, which can effectively improve excavation efficiency; efficient grouting operations can be achieved through an integrated sealing device; and by arranging fiber optic Bragg grating sensors, real-time monitoring of the support status can be achieved without reducing the strength of the rod body, which is conducive to building a high-quality support system.

At the same time, three corresponding optical fiber output sections of the three fiber grating sensors (8) are embedded in three strip-shaped wire-passing grooves (1.1f) on the hollow anti-twist sleeve (1.1); then , the sealing sleeve (2) is mounted on the outside of the hollow anti-twist sleeve (1.1); then, the anti-twist tray (3) is mounted on the outside of the left end of the hollow anti-twist sleeve (1.1), and the stop column (3.2) is located on the side close to the sealing sleeve (2); finally, the ribbed tray (4), the self-aligning ball head (5), the friction-reducing washer (6) and the torque nut (7) are mounted on the outside of the fastening section (1.1e) in sequence, and the self-aligning ball head (5) is embedded in the ball head positioning hole (4.4); Step 3: first put the anchoring agent into the stepped borehole (9), then use the centering positioner (1.6) fixed at the end of the flexible hollow rod (1) to support the anchoring agent and push it into the bottom of the stepped borehole (9); then start the anchor drilling machine to drive the torque nut (7) to rotate and synchronously drive the flexible hollow rod (1) to rotate, and then use the three positioning clips (1.6b) on the centering positioner (1.6) to stir the anchoring agent. While the flexible hollow rod (1) is rotating, the anchor drilling machine is continuously pushed toward the bottom of the hole to stir the anchoring agent evenly. After being pushed to the bottom of the hole, it is kept for 30 seconds to allow the anchoring agent to fully solidify. Step 4: Continue to open the anchor drill to destroy the pin on the torque nut (7), so that the torque nut (7) rotates along the external thread structure 1 (1.1c) on the fastening section (1.1e) toward the bottom of the hole, and presses the anti-friction washer (6) and the self-aligning ball head (5), and then pushes the ribbed tray (4) and the anti-twist tray (3) along the axial direction of the fastening section (1.1e) toward the bottom of the hole, so that the four stop columns (3.2) on the anti-twist tray (3) are pressed and positioned on the rock wall, and the anti-twist tray (3) is used to push the sealing sleeve (2) toward the bottom of the hole, and the sealing sleeve ( 2) The shrinking section (2.1) on the outer contour is pushed into the connection between the large-diameter drilled hole (9.1) and the small-diameter drilled hole (9.2).
