Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to tunnel excavation equipment, in particular to a cutter barrel anti-jamming device. Background Art

[0002] In the past 10 to 20 years, shield tunnels are moving towards larger diameters and greater burial depths. Large-diameter slurry shield technology has been increasingly used in engineering projects, but it still faces many challenges when crossing ultra-high water pressure and complex strata for excavation construction. As the core component of the shield, the cutterhead tool is directly responsible for the excavation of the rock strata. However, the underground rock strata have uneven hardness, isolated rocks, boulders, caves, high-strength rocks and even pile foundations. The probability of tool wear, abnormal damage and loosening is very high. For complex strata, a cutterhead with a diameter of about 15m may need to check and replace the tool more than 50 times for 1 kilometer of excavation. The biggest challenge of large-diameter slurry shield construction is to check and replace the tool under ultra-high water pressure. Therefore, the demand for shield machines with normal pressure tool change function will also increase.

[0003] However, due to the complex geology, there are a lot of mud, sand and stones in the mud and water tank, and the existing flushing system cannot flush accurately. Figure 1 When the position is reached, a closed cavity will be formed, and flushing will not work at this time, so Figure 2 The black part of the cutter can easily retain stones and get stuck in the cutter barrel, causing problems such as the cutter barrel getting stuck and the front end of the cutter barrel being scratched, making it difficult to change the cutter, affecting the excavation efficiency, and even causing water gushing in the shield machine. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention proposes a knife barrel anti-stuck device, which adds a precise flushing structure, solves the problem that the existing knife barrel is easily stuck or scratched due to inaccurate flushing, effectively prevents the knife barrel from being stuck or scratched, and improves the knife changing efficiency and safety.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is implemented as follows: a knife barrel anti-stuck device includes a knife barrel, the front end of the knife barrel is provided with a flushing ring groove located on the side, the portion of the knife barrel located at the front end of the flushing ring groove is lower than the portion located at the rear end of the flushing ring groove, and a new flushing channel extends to the flushing ring groove.

[0006] The knife barrel comprises a reduced diameter section, on which a flushing annular groove is arranged on the side, and a portion of the reduced diameter section located at the front end of the flushing annular groove is lower than a portion located at the rear end of the flushing annular groove.

[0007] It also includes a welding seat, which includes an expanded diameter section, a transition section I and a full diameter section I. The cutter barrel also includes a transition section II and a full diameter section II. The reduced diameter section located at the rear end of the flushing ring groove cooperates with the expanded diameter section, the transition section I cooperates with the transition section II, and a gap is left between the full diameter section I and the full diameter section II.

[0008] The portion of the reduced diameter section located at the rear end of the flushing annular groove is provided with a seal.
