Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of tunnel excavation, and particularly to a new type of connecting passage excavation device. Background Art

[0002] Urban ground space resources are becoming increasingly scarce, and it has become a consensus that the development of underground space is needed to fill and realize urban functions. At present, the development of underground space has gradually developed into a spatial and networked form. With the continuous improvement of geotechnical engineering theory, the continuous progress of foundation reinforcement and improvement technology, and the continuous development of tunneling machine manufacturing technology, various construction processes and tunnel excavation equipment with different forms and functions have emerged, making it possible to realize the development of various underground spaces in a micro-disturbance form. In order to achieve the interconnection of the underground space network, a large number of T-connected tunnels need to be constructed: subway and highway connecting passages; subway entrances and ventilation shafts; municipal utility tunnel inspection wells; water tunnel connecting lines. Currently, most of these connection projects are mainly constructed by the mining method.

[0003] Currently, the connecting passage is generally excavated by the mining method, and the excavation range is reinforced by methods such as the freezing method and ground reinforcement.

[0004] The freezing effect is affected by many factors and is difficult to control; when constructing by the mining method, there are potential safety hazards on the excavation surface. As follows:

[0005] ① If a sand layer is encountered, it is easy to cause the instability of the soil near the orifice, resulting in incomplete freezing perfusion and unsatisfactory freezing effect. Moreover, the sand layer is exactly the geological environment that is often encountered.

[0006] ② The freezing range is not easy to control, which is likely to cause waste of resources and uneven freezing effect.

[0007] ③ During the freezing process, the soil will expand, resulting in ground uplift, while during thawing, the soil will subside and the duration is very long. Therefore, it is extremely easy to cause soil instability.

[0008] ④ After thawing, the soil settlement is likely to cause the pressure on the shaft or tunnel lining to become large or uneven, and there are many construction joints, which are likely to cause water seepage and other forms of leakage.

[0009] ⑤ When the freezing pipe is within the range of the sump, the freezing needs to be suspended when excavating the sump. Due to the good creep property of the frozen soil, there will be a relatively large creep process in the failure line of the frozen soil curtain, and the safety of the frozen soil will be relatively poor.

[0010] Replacing the mining method with a fully mechanical process such as the shield method is the development trend of underground tunnel technology. However, the conventional shield method needs to redesign and manufacture the shield machine according to the strata, and supporting infrastructure for construction needs to be provided before tunneling, with high costs and long construction periods.

[0011] Based on this, the present invention designs a new type of connection passage excavation device to solve the problems of too long construction period, large resource consumption, and too high cost of current tunneling equipment. Summary of the Invention

The support cylinder and the shoe cylinder are hydraulically controlled to perform segment connection and stepping work; the portal joint plate sealing system includes a portal joint plate. An oil cylinder support is welded to the outer periphery of the portal joint plate. An accumulator is installed on the rear wall of the portal joint plate. A chevron seal is installed at the front end. Three circles of sealing brushes are welded to the inner wall. A grease hole communicating with the front sealing brush is provided at the bottom; the portal joint plate sealing system is used to seal the gap between the tunnel and the segment, prevent formation water, mortar and solids from leaking. When the segment steps, shield tail grease is injected through the grease hole in the portal joint plate and smeared on the outer side of the segment to reduce the friction between the portal joint plate sealing system and the segment; the pressure maintaining system includes a pressure sensor, a PLC, an air compressor, a slurry storage tank, a safety valve, a pressure gauge, a liquid level gauge, a slurry pipe and a ball valve installed inside the inner sleeve support system.

The air compressor is connected to the slurry storage tank through an air pipe. A pressure gauge is provided on the slurry storage tank. A safety valve is provided between the pressure gauge and the slurry storage tank. The slurry storage tank is connected to the inner sleeve support system through a slurry pipe with a ball valve; the pressure sensor detects the pressure inside the inner sleeve support system and uploads the detection signal to the PLC through the signal line. When the internal pressure is lower than the predetermined limit, the PLC gives an instruction and conveys it to the air compressor through the signal line.

The inner sleeve support system and the portal joint plate system are provided with grease through the grease injection system;The grease pump is respectively connected to the grease holes of the door opening joint sealing system and the inner sleeve support system through grease pipes installed with electric control valves. The grease holes on the door opening joint sealing system and the inner sleeve support system are connected with the pressure sensors. The signals collected by the pressure sensors are transmitted to the PLC through signal lines. When the pressure in the grease holes is insufficient, the PLC receives the signal and gives instructions to the grease pump and the electric control valve respectively. The grease pump operates, and the electric control valve opens. Driven by the grease pump, grease is injected from the grease pipe into the sealing brushes of the door opening joint sealing system and the inner sleeve support system.

The servo cylinder is connected to the support shoe through two end lugs. As the cylinder extends, the support shoe presses against the tunnel segment. After adjusting the pressure and fixing the corresponding positions of each support shoe of the trolley support system, tunneling begins.

The present invention provides a brand-new connection passage tunneling device, which does not need to use the freezing method for reinforcement, is less affected by factors such as weather, and improves the safety factor.

[0019] 2. Shorter time consumption

[0020] For the construction of the freezing method, the preparatory work in the early stage is relatively complex, and different schemes need to be determined according to different geological conditions and weather conditions. The present invention provides a brand-new connection passage tunneling device, which is less affected by weather conditions, reduces the complex preparatory work in the early stage, can adapt to different stratum geological conditions, is more convenient and fast, and saves time costs.

[0021] 3. Lower cost

A sealing brush 403 is welded to the front end of the outer periphery of the cylinder 402. Drainage holes 404, slurry inlet holes 405 and feeding windows 406 are formed in the cover plate. A circle of support shoe oil cylinder bases 407 and rear support oil cylinder bases 408 are welded to the outside of the cylinder 402. A support shoe oil cylinder 409 is connected to the support shoe oil cylinder base 407, and a support oil cylinder 410 is connected to the rear support oil cylinder base 408. A circle of rollers 411 is installed outside the cylinder 402, and the rollers 411 rotate synchronously with the casing 302. The inner sleeve support system 2 is used to seal and prevent the leakage of sediment inside the segment 3021. Shield tail grease is injected through the grease hole 10 at the bottom to the sealing brush 403 along the outer edge and smeared on the inner side of the segment 3021. The support oil cylinder 410 and the support shoe oil cylinder 409 are hydraulically controlled to perform the segment connection and stepping work.

A grease hole 10 communicating with the front sealing brush is arranged at the bottom. The portal joint plate sealing system 5 is used to seal the gap between the tunnel segment 14 and the segment 3021, prevent the leakage of formation water, mortar and solids. When the segment 3021 steps, shield tail grease is injected through the grease hole 10 in the portal joint plate 501 and smeared on the outer side of the segment 3021 to reduce the friction between the portal joint plate sealing system 5 and the segment 3021.

[0043] The pressure-holding system 6 includes a pressure sensor 601, a PLC, an air compressor 602, a slurry storage tank 603, a safety valve 604, a pressure gauge 605, a liquid level gauge 606, a slurry pipe 607 and a ball valve 608 installed inside the inner sleeve support system 4. The liquid level gauge 606 is arranged in the slurry storage tank 603. The pressure sensor 601, the air compressor 602 and the liquid level gauge 606 are electrically connected to the PLC through a signal line 609.

The slurry storage tank 603 is communicated with the inner sleeve support system 4 through the slurry pipe 607 with a ball valve 608. The pressure sensor 601 detects the pressure inside the inner sleeve support system 4 and uploads the detection signal to the PLC through the signal line 609. When the internal pressure is lower than a predetermined limit, the PLC gives an instruction and conveys it to the air compressor 602 through the signal line. The air compressor 602 starts, and compressed air is injected into the slurry storage tank 603. The pressure gauge 605 shows the instant air pressure in the upper part of the slurry storage tank 603.

The ball valve 608 is in an open state all the time. The upper air pressure presses the slurry at the lower part of the slurry storage tank 603 into the inner cavity of the inner sleeve support system 4 through the slurry pipe 607. When the pressure inside the inner sleeve support system 4 returns to the set value, the PLC receives the signal from the pressure sensor 601 and gives an instruction to turn off the air compressor 602.

The grease pump 701 is respectively connected to the grease holes 10 of the door opening connecting plate sealing system 5 and the inner sleeve support system 4 through a grease pipe 703 equipped with an electric control valve 702. Pressure sensors 601 are connected to the grease holes 10 on the door opening connecting plate sealing system 5 and the inner sleeve support system 4. The signals collected by the pressure sensors 601 are transmitted to the PLC through the signal line 609. When the pressure in the grease hole 10 is insufficient, the PLC receives the signal and gives instructions to the grease pump 701 and the electric control valve 702 respectively. The grease pump 701 operates, and the electric control valve 702 opens. Driven by the grease pump 701, grease is injected into the sealing brushes 403 of the door opening connecting plate sealing system 5 and the inner sleeve support system 4 through the grease pipe 703. When the set pressure is reached, the grease pump 701 stops operating and the electric control valve 702 closes. Through such feedback adjustment, the pressure in the sealing cavity is maintained stable.

The pressure maintaining system 6 pumps slurry into and discharges slurry from the inner sleeve support system 4. The grease injection system 7 injects grease into the sealing brushes 403 in the inner sleeve support system 4 and the door opening connecting plate sealing system 5. The sealing brushes 403 act on the inner and outer walls of the casing 302 in the segment connection system 3. The rotary drilling rig system 2 slides on the support trolley system 1 and is connected to the right support lug of the trolley support system 1 through the stepping cylinder 11. The door opening connecting plate sealing system 5 is connected to the support trolley system 1 through six small cylinders 12. Both the inner sleeve support system 4 and the door opening connecting plate sealing system 5 are closely attached to the wall of the tunnel segment 14. The rotary drilling rig system 2 drives the casing 302 to rotate and break through the pipe wall. The casing crane 301 moves on the casing hoisting track 303 to complete the hoisting, transportation, and splicing of the segment 3021. The casing 302 is composed of multiple segments 3021 and a front cutter head 3022. The tunnel segment 14 and the support trolley system 1 provide support for opening up the left and right tunnel sides, reducing damage to the tunnel. The rotary drilling rig system 2 is similar to a drill bit fixing part and a power drill bit, installed in the middle of the tunnel to provide fixation and power. The door opening connecting plate 501 is similar to a retaining joint.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 10 , a fixed anti-collapse device 13 is set at the corresponding position in the right-line working area, i.e., the working area on the right side of the tunnel. The fixed anti-collapse device includes a sealed steel structure 1301, a channel steel 1302, and a support 1303. The sealed steel structure 1301 is welded to the left side of the right-line working area, the channel steel 1302 is welded to the right side of the right-line working area, and a support 1303 is connected to the end of the channel steel and is closely attached to the right side of the right-line working area.

[0048] During specific implementation, the construction steps of the new connecting passage excavation equipment are as follows:

[0049] 1. Equipment installation steps before entering the tunnel

[0050] 1) Install the portal connecting plate 501 on the right side of the support trolley system 1 in the shield tunneling direction. The outer circular side lugs of the portal connecting plate 501 are connected to the ear seats at the right side support of the support trolley system 1 through the small oil cylinder 12.

[0051] 2) The bottom of the rotary drilling rig system 2 is equipped with wheels and is placed on the track in the center of the support trolley system through these wheels, and confirm that the rotary drilling rig system slides smoothly without interference.

[0052] 3) Connect the stepping oil cylinder 11 on the rotary drilling rig system to the fixed ear seat on the right side support of the support trolley system 1.

[0053] 4) Install the cutter head 3022 at the front end of the starting segment 3021 through the casing hoist 301, and place the casing 302 into the rotary drilling rig system 2, ensuring the length margin of the casing 302.

[0054] 5) Start the pump station 222 and drive the clamping oil cylinder 211 inside the rotary drilling rig system 2 to act: the clamping oil cylinder 211 contracts, and the lifting layer of the rotary drilling rig system 2, that is, the upper support 209, descends as a whole, driving the clamping block 219 to protrude and approach the casing 302 and finally clamping it. After clamping the casing 302, the casing 302 can be driven to rotate, and the clamping and loosening of the casing 302 are regulated by controlling the extension and retraction of the clamping oil cylinder 211.

[0055] 6) Install the inner sleeve 401.

[0056] 2. After installation, enter the tunnel and make excavation preparation work

[0057] 1) Send the support trolley system 1 into the left-line working area, that is, the corresponding position on the left side of the tunnel segment. The bottom of the flatbed truck 101 in the support trolley system 1 is welded with traveling wheels 102.

[0058] 2) The battery car drives the support trolley system 1 and the pump station 222 along the tunnel track 9 to the starting point of the connecting passage excavation.

[0059] 3) At this time, extend the servo oil cylinder 104 to drive the support trolley system 1 to support evenly and tightly on the inner wall of the tunnel segment 14 in all directions.

[0060] 4) Supply oil and pressurize and then retract the 6 small oil cylinders 12 connecting the portal connecting plate 501, and confirm that the mountain-shaped seal at the front end of the portal connecting plate 501 is evenly pressed on the tunnel segment 14. The external accumulator 503 ensures that the oil cylinder does not release pressure and there is no slurry leakage in case of power failure during work.

[0061] 5) A fixed anti-collapse device 13 is set at the corresponding position on the right side of the working area of the right tunnel, i.e., on the right side of the tunnel segment, which consists of a sealed steel structure 1301, channel steel 1302, and a support 1303. The fixed anti-collapse device is used to support the inside of the built right tunnel to prevent collapse and damage. That is, when the excavation equipment excavates from the left tunnel to the right tunnel, the right tunnel will receive a thrust, avoiding damage to the built right tunnel caused by the thrust and the collapse of the right tunnel.

[0062] 3. Excavation starting work

[0063] 1) Start the hydraulic motor 201 of the rotary drilling rig system 2 to rotate at a low speed. The stepping cylinder 11 of the rotary drilling rig system 1 acts, cooperating with the clamping cylinder 211. The front cutter head 3022 of the segment 3021 passes through the sealing brush 403 inside the inner ring of the portal connecting plate 501 and reaches one side of the tunnel segment 14. After the first segment 3021 of the sleeve 302 and the cutter head 3022 break through the wall of the tunnel segment 14, stop the rotary drilling rig system 2. At this time, a closed space is formed between the inner sleeve 401 and the part of the tunnel segment 14 drilled by the sleeve 302.

[0064] 2) Extend the 4 support cylinders 410 outside the inner sleeve 401 and press them against the shoe of the support trolley system 1.

[0065] 3) After confirming the completion of the operation, the grease pump 701 starts to act, opens the electric control valve 702, and injects grease into the sealing brush 403 of the portal connecting plate 501 and the inner sleeve 302 until grease overflows (observed from the bottom feeding window 406 of the inner sleeve), and observe the pressure change.

[0066] 4) Use the sleeve crane 301 to fill the inner sleeve cavity with muck through the feeding window 406. When the filling reaches the designed required depth, use bolts to close the feeding window.

[0067] 5) Connect the pipeline between the slurry inlet 405 and the slurry outlet 406 at the bottom of the inner sleeve 401, add water to the inside. The internal pressure of the inner sleeve 401 is uploaded to the upper computer by the earth pressure sensor for display, and corrected through slurry input and output until the normal working pressure range is met, and the excavation starting work is completed.

[0068] 4. Step change

[0069] 1) The accumulator 503 provides pressure (ensuring that the pressure of the accumulator of the inner sleeve shoe cylinder is always stable within the required range), extend the shoe cylinder 409 so that the shoe cylinder 409 presses against the sleeve wall, generating a frictional force to offset the force in the closed space inside the inner sleeve.

[0070] 2) Retract the support cylinder 410 to leave space for segment connection.

[0071] 3) Use the casing crane 301 to connect the second segment behind the first segment, and fix the segments to each other by pins or welding.

[0072] 4) Start the rotary drilling rig system 2 again, start the hydraulic motor 201 of the rotary drilling rig system, rotate at a low speed, the drill step cylinder 11 operates, cooperate with the clamping cylinder 211, drive the casing to excavate forward, stop after reaching the designed position, and turn off the drilling rig.

[0073] 5) Repeat steps 3) and 4) until approaching the excavation end point of the connection passage.

[0074] 5. Breaking through the tunnel

[0075] 1) Continue to start the step of the rotary drilling rig system 2 until the cutter head on the casing breaks through the wall of the segment 14 of the right-line tunnel. The sealed steel structure 1301 can prevent the muck in the connection passage from flowing into the right-line working area, avoiding dangers such as cave-ins.

[0076] 2) The rotary drilling rig system stops working, and the staff enters the connection passage to remove the muck and disassemble the right-line sealed steel structure 1301.

[0077] 3) Reinforce the connection of every two segments to ensure stiffness and strength.

A circle of support shoe oil cylinder bases and rear support oil cylinder bases are welded to the outside of the cylinder. A support shoe oil cylinder is connected to the support shoe oil cylinder base, and a support oil cylinder is connected to the rear support oil cylinder base. A circle of rollers is installed outside the cylinder, and the rollers rotate synchronously with the casing. The inner sleeve support system is used to seal and prevent the leakage of sediment inside the segment.

A pressure gauge is arranged on the slurry storage tank, and a safety valve is arranged between the pressure gauge and the slurry storage tank. The slurry storage tank is communicated with the inner sleeve support system through a slurry pipe with a ball valve. The pressure sensor detects the pressure inside the inner sleeve support system and uploads the detection signal to the PLC through the signal line. When the internal pressure is lower than the predetermined limit, the PLC gives an instruction and conveys it to the air compressor through the signal line. The air compressor starts, and compressed air is injected into the slurry storage tank. The pressure gauge shows the instant air pressure at the upper part of the slurry storage tank. The liquid level gauge shows the real-time liquid level in the slurry storage tank and transmits it to the PLC. The safety valve ensures that the pressure does not exceed the limit value. The ball valve is in an open state all the time. The air pressure at the upper part presses the slurry at the lower part of the slurry storage tank into the inner cavity of the inner sleeve support system through the slurry pipe. The internal pressure of the inner sleeve support system returns to the set value. The PLC receives the signal from the pressure sensor and gives an instruction to turn off the air compressor. In this way, the feedback cycle ensures the stable pressure inside the inner sleeve support system. The described grease injection system includes a grease pump, an electrically controlled valve, a pressure sensor, and a PLC. The grease pump, the electrically controlled valve, and the pressure sensor are respectively electrically connected to the PLC. The grease injection system provides grease for the inner sleeve support system and the door opening joint plate sealing system. The grease pump is respectively connected to the grease holes of the door opening joint plate sealing system and the inner sleeve support system through a grease pipe installed with an electrically controlled valve. The pressure sensor is connected to the grease holes on the door opening joint plate sealing system and the inner sleeve support system. The signal collected by the pressure sensor is transmitted to the PLC through a signal line. When the pressure in the grease hole is insufficient, the PLC receives the signal and gives instructions to the grease pump and the electrically controlled valve respectively. The grease pump operates, the electrically controlled valve opens, and the grease is injected into the sealing brushes of the door opening joint plate sealing system and the inner sleeve support system through the drive of the grease pump. When the set pressure is reached, the grease pump stops operating and the electrically controlled valve closes. Through such feedback adjustment, the pressure in the sealing cavity is maintained stable. The hydraulic system is established on the flatbed of the support trolley system. The hydraulic system includes an oil tank, a motor, and a pump head. The bottom walking wheels of the flatbed are placed on the tunnel track and move along with the support trolley system. The oil tank is welded and fixed on the flatbed. The motor is fixed on the flatbed. The pump head is matched with the motor through a coupling. Before starting, the support trolley system moves the flatbed to a designated location. When starting, the motor is controlled to pump the hydraulic oil in the oil tank out through the oil pipe from the pump head and into the servo cylinder of the support trolley system. The servo cylinder is connected to the shoe through the two end lugs. As the servo cylinder extends, the shoe presses against the tunnel segment, realizing driving the support trolley system to support and press evenly on the inner wall of the tunnel segment in all directions. By adjusting the pressure, each shoe of the support trolley system reaches the corresponding position. After fixing the position, tunneling begins. The hydraulic system controls the servo cylinders on the rotary drilling rig system and the support trolley system, and the shoe cylinders and support cylinders on the inner sleeve support system. The pressure maintaining system conducts slurry input and discharge into the inner sleeve support system. The grease injection system injects grease into the sealing brushes in the inner sleeve support system and the door opening joint plate sealing system.
