Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of full-face tunnel boring machine shotcrete, in particular to an intelligent shotcrete system and a shotcrete support method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The operation of the traditional TBM shotcrete system requires high comprehensive quality of workers, long operator training cycle, high dependence on operators at the construction site, and harsh environment in the TBM shotcrete operation area. It takes at least three years of practical operation for operators to master this operating system. The operation environment of the shotcrete process is relatively harsh. Various factors have caused a severe shortage of skilled operators, and the effect of shotcrete support is greatly affected by the operator's level. Therefore, experienced and skilled operators on site have always been in short supply. Moreover, the quality of shotcrete is greatly affected by human factors, and the quality of shotcrete is unstable. With the vigorous promotion of TBM excavation methods and the improvement of occupational health requirements in the later period, the shortage of operators will become more and more serious. TBM construction parties and owners have an urgent need for intelligent shotcrete projects.

[0003] The existing TBM intelligent shotcrete system is a very critical system in the TBM machine. It plays a vital role in the smooth excavation of TBM construction and is a product with high technical content and high added value. At present, each TBM is equipped with at least two operators for manual shotcrete. The shotcrete effect is greatly affected by the operator's level, and skilled operators are in short supply. The unstable operator level directly leads to poor tunnel support quality and is very likely to cause construction accidents such as rock bursts and water gushing. It has become a bottleneck restricting the safety of TBM tunnel construction, and the owner also has an urgent need for fully automatic shotcrete. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the above-mentioned background technology, the present invention proposes an intelligent shotcrete system and a shotcrete support method thereof, which solves the problem that the shotcrete quality of the existing mixed shotcrete system is heavily dependent on the proficiency of the operator and the shortage of skilled operators.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is implemented as follows: an intelligent shotcrete system comprises a shotcrete bridge arranged along the axial direction of the tunnel, a rotating device is arranged in the circumferential direction of the shotcrete bridge, a shotcrete manipulator is connected to the rotating mechanism of the rotating device, a shotcrete manipulator is arranged on the shotcrete manipulator, a multi-degree-of-freedom three-dimensional scanner group connected to a measurement and control center is arranged on the shotcrete bridge, and the rotating device, the shotcrete manipulator and the shotcrete nozzle are all connected to the measurement and control center.

[0006] The rotating device includes a first rotating device and a second rotating device which are arranged at intervals, and the shotcrete manipulator includes a first shotcrete manipulator and a second shotcrete manipulator. The rotating mechanism of the first rotating device is connected to the first shotcrete manipulator, and the rotating mechanism of the second rotating device is connected to the second shotcrete manipulator.

[0007] The multi-degree-of-freedom three-dimensional scanner group includes a first multi-degree-of-freedom three-dimensional scanner and a second multi-degree-of-freedom three-dimensional scanner. The first multi-degree-of-freedom three-dimensional scanner is arranged at the front side of the first rotating device, and the second multi-degree-of-freedom three-dimensional scanner is arranged between the first rotating device and the second rotating device.

[0008] There are two of each of the first multi-degree-of-freedom three-dimensional scanner and the second multi-degree-of-freedom three-dimensional scanner. The two first multi-degree-of-freedom three-dimensional scanners are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the shotcrete bridge, and the two second multi-degree-of-freedom three-dimensional scanners are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the shotcrete bridge.

[0009] A sliding support is arranged below the shotcrete bridge, and a sliding track is arranged in cooperation with the sliding support.

[0010] A shotcrete support method for an intelligent shotcrete system comprises the following steps:

[0011] Step 1: 3D scanning: the measurement and control center controls the first multi-degree-of-freedom 3D scanner to scan the inner annular surface contour of the tunnel, and transmits the scanned image data back to the measurement and control center;

[0012] Step 2: Automatic first shotcrete, the measurement and control center automatically controls the first rotary device to output a matching rotation speed according to the scanned image data in step 1, automatically controls the first shotcrete manipulator to drive the shotcrete nozzle toward a matching spraying direction, and then controls the first rotary device to drive the shotcrete nozzle on the first shotcrete manipulator to perform the first shotcrete on the inner annular surface of the tunnel;

[0013] Step 3: Scanning and testing: after the first grouting is completed in step 2, the measurement and control center controls the second multi-degree-of-freedom three-dimensional scanner to scan the inner annular surface of the tunnel after the first grouting, and transmits the scanned image data back to the measurement and control center;

[0014] Step 4: Determine the scanning results. The measurement and control center compares the scanning image data obtained in step 3 with the set support contour data. If the comparison result is within the error range, the shotcrete bridge moves forward along the sliding track and enters the next shotcrete support cycle, repeating steps 1 to 4.

[0015] If the comparison result in step 4 exceeds the error range, proceed to step 5: automatic fine spraying correction. The measurement and control center automatically controls the second rotary device to output a matching rotation speed according to the comparison result, and automatically controls the second spraying manipulator to drive the spraying nozzle to face the matching spraying direction, and then controls the second rotary device to drive the spraying nozzle on the second spraying manipulator to automatically perform fine spraying correction on the inner annular surface of the tunnel after the first spraying in step 2 is completed, and then enters the next spraying support cycle, and repeats steps 1 to 5.

[0016] The present invention not only replaces the indispensable shotcrete system operators in the prior art, but also breaks through the problem that the quality of shotcrete support is severely limited by the skills of the shotcrete system operators. It not only effectively improves the efficiency of shotcrete support, but also fully guarantees the quality of shotcrete support, and effectively reduces the incidence of construction accidents such as rock bursts and water gushing.
