The application discloses a method for excavating a connecting channel by using a
plasma torch, and the method comprises the following steps: carrying out freezing construction in a stratum until a freezing wall is closed, and the soil in the excavation path of the connecting channel is frozen into a frozen soil body; drawing an excavation
contour line of the connecting channel on a working face, the excavation
contour line is drawn according to the excavation path of the connecting channel, and the excavation
contour line is located in the
enclosure of the freezing wall; S2, drawing a
cutting line on the working face, the
cutting line is located in the
enclosure of the excavation contour line of the connecting channel; S3,
cutting the frozen soil body along the cutting line by using the
plasma torch to obtain a cutting groove; and S4, inserting a
nozzle of the
plasma torch into the cutting groove. By reasonably designing the cutting line
layout and the cutting unit area and combining the high-efficiency melting and crushing of the frozen soil body by the
plasma torch, the method overcomes the shortcomings of low efficiency and great difficulty of the traditional construction method, and improves the construction efficiency and safety of the connecting channel.
