This invention discloses a method for simulating the transportation efficiency of long-distance, steep-slope
tunnel construction adit. The method divides the material transportation process of a
tunnel boring machine (TBM) into two phases: heavy-load entry into the tunnel and empty-load exit. Based on the kinematic principles of force, motion models are sequentially established for heavy-load external tunnel transportation, heavy-load
adit downhill transportation, heavy-load main tunnel transportation, empty main tunnel transportation, empty
adit uphill transportation, and empty external tunnel transportation. A time-discrete numerical integration method is used to calculate the acceleration, velocity, displacement, and
running time of each motion model at each moment with a small
time step. By simulating the transportation efficiency under different equipment parameters and working conditions using the motion models, the selection of transportation equipment, adit slope design, and
braking system configuration parameters are determined. The advantages of this invention are that it achieves accurate
dynamic simulation calculation of the transportation efficiency inside and outside the tunnel during TBM construction, providing intuitive guidance for transportation equipment selection,
braking system configuration, and optimization of adit slope design.
