Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of abrasive water jet tunnel boring machines, and particularly relates to a complete set of equipment for loading abrasive water jets to assist in rock breaking and pile cutting of tunnel boring machines. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the current national infrastructure construction, the limitations of current shield machines and TBMs (full-face hard rock tunnel boring machines) are becoming more and more obvious, and they cannot meet the requirements of high-speed and efficient infrastructure construction. For example, in the past, when encountering ultra-hard rocks or hard rocks, it was necessary to detour for railway and subway construction, which affected the construction period and wasted resources. If encountering long underground foundation construction piles, such as those longer than 25 meters, they will be blocked, difficult to cut, detouring will affect the construction period and waste resources.

[0003] The cutter head and cutters of the equipment are expensive, while the technology of abrasive water jets uses water and sand, which has lower costs, is more environmentally friendly, convenient for material collection, and can reduce detours or complete construction tasks without detours.

[0004] The cutter head of the tunnel boring machine rotates (revolves) for tunneling, and sand, gas, and water all need to be fed through pipelines. Continuous rotation will inevitably cause knotting and breakage. Therefore, how to supply sand, gas, and water to the rotating cutter head is a technical problem. When dividing water in front of the cutter head, in the prior art, there is a water supply pipe in series with multiple outlet pipes, with a large connection volume and large energy loss during the water flow process.

[0005] The currently used water jet heads of tunnel boring machines (shield machines and TBM full-face hard rock tunnel boring machines) directly spray the mixture of water and abrasive (sand). Such a water jet head structure is relatively fragile and easy to damage, and when the cutter head cuts, the edge angles of the object to be cut cannot be reached. Summary of the Invention
