DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The specific embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples, but the following examples are only used to illustrate the present application in detail and do not limit the scope of the present application in any way.

[0035] In the description of the technical solutions of the present application, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present application. The present application, if referring to "first", "second", etc., is used to distinguish similar objects, and is not limited to a specific order or sequence.

[0036] In the following examples, the unit modules (parts, structures, mechanisms) involved, unless otherwise specified, are all conventional commercially available products.

[0037] Example 1: A slag collecting device for a large shield machine, referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7The system includes a lifting mechanism 8 mounted on a screw conveyor 7 and a slag hopper 5 mounted on the lifting mechanism 8. The lifting mechanism 8 includes rollers 2 mounted on the left and right sides of the gate 71 of the screw conveyor 7. The rollers 2 extend to both sides through the mounting plate 1 mounted on the screw conveyor 7 and can rotate. A gear 21 is fixedly mounted at the open end of the extension, so that the gear 21 rotates with the roller 2. Conversely, when the gear 21 stops rotating, it will stop the rotation of the roller 2. A mounting rod 3 is fixedly connected to the housing of the screw conveyor 7 above the extension. A movable locking block 31 is sleeved on the mounting rod 3. The locking block 31 has a meshing part 311 that meshes with the gear 21 and a supporting part 312 that supports the gear 21, so as to support the gear 21 and stop the gear 2 from driving the roller 2. The extension is fixedly connected to a chain. When the roller 2 rotates, the chain can be wound up or unwound. A hook 45 is installed at the end of the chain. The hook 45 is hooked onto the hanging ring of the slag hopper 5, so that the slag hopper 5 is suspended by four chains with hooks 45. When slag falls at the gate 71, it will be collected by the slag hopper 5 to prevent slag from falling into the tunnel. The slag hopper 5 is an arc-shaped slag hopper 5, the arc of which matches the arc of the tunnel segment to facilitate the installation of the slag hopper 5 using the tunnel segment assembly machine. The hook 45 includes a hook 45 body and an elastic post 42 elastically connected to the hook 45 body for opening or closing the hook 45. Both the elastic post 42 and the hook 45 body directly above it are provided with threaded parts 421. The hook 45 is closed more tightly by a second threaded sleeve 43 that cooperates with the threaded parts 421 to enhance its safety.

[0038] Example 2: Unlike Example 1, the lifting chain 4 is directly connected to the screw conveyor 7, and the slag hopper 5 is connected through the lifting chain 4 for slag collection.

[0039] Example 3: A slag collection device for a large tunnel boring machine. Unlike Example 1, the slag hopper 5 does not have a hanging ring. Instead, through holes are provided on both sides of the slag hopper 5 at positions corresponding to the hooks 45, so that the hooks 45 can be hooked onto the slag hopper 5 through the through holes to achieve the purpose of suspending the slag hopper 5.

[0040] Example 4: A spoil collection device for large tunnel boring machines, see [link to example]. Figure 4The system includes a lifting mechanism 8 mounted on a screw conveyor 7 and a slag hopper 5 mounted on the lifting mechanism 8. The lifting mechanism 8 includes telescopic columns 6 fixed to both sides of the screw conveyor 7 housing, two on each side. Each telescopic column 6 is a sleeve-type telescopic column 6, comprising a fixed column 61 fixed to the screw conveyor 7 housing, a movable column 62 cooperating with the fixed column 61, and a first threaded sleeve 63 for height adjustment. Both the fixed column 61 and the movable column 62 are provided with external threads, and the first threaded sleeve 63 has an internal thread that mates with the external threads to achieve telescopic movement. A hook 45 is provided at the bottom of the column 62. The hook 45 includes a hook 45 body and an elastic column 42 for opening or closing the hook 45, which is elastically connected to the hook 45 body. The elastic column 42 is provided with a threaded part 421, and the hook 45 is closed more tightly by a second threaded sleeve 43 that cooperates with the threaded part 421 to enhance its safety. The telescopic column 6 is connected to the slag hopper 5 through the hook 45 to facilitate the disassembly of the slag hopper 5 and facilitate slag dumping. The slag hopper 5 is an arc-shaped slag hopper 5, and its arc matches the arc of the tunnel segment to facilitate the installation of the slag hopper 5 using a tunnel segment assembly machine.

[0041] Example 5: A slag collection device for a large tunnel boring machine. Unlike Example 3, the movable column 62 is directly fixedly connected to the slag hopper 5. When the slag hopper 5 is full of slag, the slag hopper 5 can be directly removed through the movable column 62 for slag dumping.

[0042] Example 6: See Figure 5 Unlike embodiment 3, the fixed column 61 has a cavity for placing the movable column 62, and has four first through holes 611. The movable column 62 has a second through hole 621 corresponding to the first through holes, so that the adjusting screw passes through the first through hole 611 and the second through hole 621 and cooperates with the adjusting nut to adjust the extension and retraction of the telescopic column 6.

[0043] Example 7: A slag collection device for a large tunnel boring machine, comprising a lifting mechanism 8 mounted on a screw conveyor 7 and a slag hopper 5 mounted on the lifting mechanism 8. The lifting mechanism 8 includes telescopic rods fixed to both sides of the casing of the screw conveyor 7, two on each side. Each telescopic rod includes an upper rod and a lower rod hinged together. A buffer spring is provided at the hinge of the upper rod and the lower rod to provide a certain degree of protection. The upper rod is fixedly connected to the screw conveyor 7, and the lower rod is connected to a hook 45. The four telescopic rods form a four-bar linkage. The hook 45... 5 includes a hook 45 body and an elastic post 42 elastically connected to the hook 45 body for opening or closing the hook 45. The elastic post 42 is provided with a threaded part 421, and the hook 45 is closed more tightly by a second threaded sleeve 43 that cooperates with the threaded part 421 to enhance its safety. The telescopic rod is hooked to the slag hopper 5 through the hook 45 to facilitate the disassembly of the slag hopper 5 and facilitate slag dumping. The slag hopper 5 is an arc-shaped slag hopper 5, and its arc matches the arc of the tunnel segment to facilitate the installation of the slag hopper 5 using a tunnel segment assembly machine.

[0044] Example 8: A method for collecting construction waste, using the construction waste collection device described in Example 1 above, the device is installed at the gate 71 of the screw conveyor 7, and the drum 2 is rotated to a suitable height according to actual needs. After adjustment, the gear 21 is locked by the locking block 31 to fix the drum 2. After the tunnel boring machine stops construction, the drum 2 is rotated to retract the hopper 5 and fixed with the locking block 31. When the hopper 5 needs to be replaced, it is removed by the hook 45 and the hopper 5 can be replaced using the segment assembly machine.

[0045] Example 9: A method for collecting construction waste, using the construction waste collection device described in Example 3 above, the device is installed at the gate 71 of the screw conveyor 7, and the height is adjusted according to actual needs by means of the telescopic column 6. The height can be adjusted by rotating the first threaded sleeve 63. When it is necessary to replace the slag hopper 5, it is removed by means of the hook 45, and the slag hopper 5 can be replaced by means of the segment assembly machine.

[0046] Example 10: A method for collecting construction waste, using the construction waste collection device described in Example 6 above, the device is installed at the gate 71 of the screw conveyor 7, and the waste hopper 5 is lowered by a telescopic rod. When not in use, the waste hopper 5 can be retracted by the telescopic rod. Since the upper rod and lower rod, the upper rod and screw conveyor 7, and the lower rod and hook 45 are all hinged, the waste hopper 5 can be retracted without passing the gate 71 of the screw conveyor 7. When the waste hopper 5 needs to be replaced, it is removed by the hook 45 and replaced by a segment assembly machine.

[0047] The present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. However, those skilled in the art will understand that, without departing from the concept of the present invention, various specific parameters in the above embodiments can be changed, or relevant components, structures and materials can be equivalently substituted to form multiple specific embodiments. These are all common variations of the present invention and will not be described in detail here.
