Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to shield machine monitoring equipment, in particular to a roller cutter performance monitoring device for a shield machine. Background Art

[0002] A shield tunnel boring machine (TBM) is a specialized piece of engineering machinery used for tunnel excavation. Modern TBMs integrate optical, mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, sensor, and information technologies, enabling them to excavate and cut soil, transport ballast, assemble tunnel linings, and perform measurement, guidance, and correction. These machines involve multiple disciplines, including geology, civil engineering, mechanics, mechanics, hydraulics, electrical engineering, control, and measurement. They are tailored to the specific geological conditions and require extremely high reliability. Shield TBMs are widely used in tunneling projects for subways, railways, highways, municipal engineering, and hydropower projects.

[0003] A shield machine is equipped with numerous roller cutters. The conventional method for detecting roller cutter performance is to embed eight magnets in the outer ring of the roller cutter and install a magnetic field monitor inside the cutter barrel. When the roller cutter rotates, the magnetic field monitor can sense the roller cutter speed. However, this method has the following disadvantages:

[0004] (1) Rock debris or soil will wear the magnet and the cutter surface, causing the magnetic field monitor to move farther and farther away from the magnet, significantly weakening the magnetic field and reducing accuracy;

[0005] (2) When iron elements are mixed in rock fragments or soil, these fragments will be adsorbed on the magnet and shield the magnetic field, reducing the monitoring accuracy;

[0006] (3) The embedded magnets may be deformed, scratched or fall out during the rock impact process;

[0007] (4) The embedded magnets may lose their magnetic force due to friction and heating caused by long-term operation between the hob and the rock or soil, resulting in distortion;

[0008] (5) When the cutter rotates at different speeds, the working temperature will fluctuate due to different friction or geological conditions (such as changes in rock and water flow), causing the magnetic field strength to change, affecting the accuracy of magnetic field monitoring.

[0009] (6) It is impossible to monitor and record the changes in geological hardness or geological interface at the contact point between the front end of the cutter and the rock and soil;

[0010] (7) Unable to monitor the direction of rotation of the hob;

[0011] (8) Unable to monitor the rotation acceleration of the hob;

[0012] (9) It is impossible to monitor the vibration frequency of the hob.

[0013] Therefore, how to automatically monitor the absolute position, rotation direction, speed, temperature and other performance parameters of the shield machine cutter without affecting the original mechanical structure of the cutter to avoid severe wear of the cutter and subsequent damage to the cutterhead is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0024] More preferably, the grating holes are distributed along the grating ring zone and the grating holes are arranged with equal intervals and equal lengths.

[0025] More preferably, the plurality of grating holes are distributed along the grating ring band, and the lengths of the grating holes are d1, d2, ..., dn, respectively, that is, the lengths of all the grating holes are different; the distance from the upper edge of any grating hole to the upper edge of the next adjacent grating hole is equal and is p1; a reference grating of fixed length is provided on one side of the grating hole, and the lengths of the reference gratings are all equal and are p2; and the calculation formula of the duty cycle sn is as follows:

[0035] Preferably, the rotating platform is tightly matched with the spacer or the bearing outer sleeve, and the spacer ring is matched with the bearing inner ring.

[0036] The shield machine cutter performance monitoring device of the present invention has the following advantages:

[0037] (1) The present invention utilizes the relative motion relationship between the internal spacer ring of the hob (which does not rotate like the cutter shaft) and the spacer (a protruding ring inside the cutter body, used to separate the two roller bearings), fixes the signal receiving and transmitting end of the optical transceiver of the optical sensor in the spacer ring hole, and fixes the grating ring belt with a grating effect on the rotating table, and the rotating table is linked to the spacer plate via a mechanical structure. When the hob cutter body rotates, the spacer plate on the hob cutter body drives the grating ring belt to rotate, thereby cutting the conductive light beam in the optical transceiver fiber on the spacer ring, obtaining a pulse signal with a positioning feature, and knowing the rotation speed, rotation direction, angular acceleration and vibration frequency of the hob cutter, ensuring that the performance parameters of the hob cutter can be known in a timely manner, and then timely determining whether the hob cutter is worn, so as to facilitate timely replacement of the hob cutter;

[0038] (2) Each element of the grating ring of the present invention carries unique optical characteristics that are different from other elements, thereby enabling the grating ring to form the functions of rotational directionality and absolute position interpretation;

[0039] (3) The present invention is buried deep inside the center of the cutter, thus obtaining good mechanical protection and preventing contact with external rocks and soil, thereby avoiding wear and damage that may affect detection accuracy;

[0040] (4) A temperature sensor is incorporated into the spacer ring of the present invention to monitor the internal temperature of the cutter. When the temperature rises above 120 degrees Celsius, the cutter is not rotating (it may still rotate at high temperatures, but the speed will be unstable, entering a poor state just before it breaks down). Furthermore, due to the high temperature generated by friction with the rock, the grease in the cutter loses its lubricating effect and is damaged. Therefore, the temperature sensor can timely obtain information on the cutter's rotation.

[0041] (5) The present invention monitors the cutter's rotation direction, speed, and angular acceleration through a grating ring. These signals are transmitted in real time along the cutter shaft to the outside of the cutter via optical fibers or electronic signal lines, and then to a server via a wireless transceiver module. After data calculation, 3D geological structure changes are recorded, allowing for advanced prediction of the geological distribution ahead of the cutter.

[0042] (6) The present invention can obtain the real-time absolute rotation position of the hob by setting the grating ring belt;

[0043] (7) The present invention arranges the power generation mechanism at a position near the cutter chamber on the rear side of the cutter disc, and uses optical fiber to route the wires along the sealed steel pipe on the cutter disc bracket, so that the information transmission between the cutter chamber and the roller cutter is not affected by the geology; the power generation structure is placed near the rotating bearing where the cutter disc and the cutter chamber are connected, and there is sufficient space to install a larger generator for high-efficiency power generation; the wireless transceiver modules are respectively located at the front and rear ends of the rotating axis surface where the cutter disc and the cutter chamber are connected, and the distance is quite short, which can prevent the wireless signal from being attenuated by soil or rocks.

[0044] Therefore, the present invention has the characteristics of reasonable design, simple structure, easy processing, small size, convenient use, and multiple uses, and thus has good promotion and use value. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0065] Example 1:

[0066] As attached Figure 1 and 2As shown, a shield machine roller cutter performance monitoring device of the present invention includes a roller cutter body 1, a cutter shaft and a spacer 4. The cutter shaft includes a cutter shaft body 2 and a spacer ring 3 located on the cutter shaft body 2. A rotating mechanism is installed in the gap between the spacer 4 and the spacer ring 3. The rotating mechanism includes a rotating platform 5 and a rotating bearing 6. The rotating bearing 6 is installed on both sides of the outside of the spacer ring 3. The rotating platform 5 is installed on the outside of the rotating bearing 6. A grating ring 7 is installed on the side of the rotating platform 5 close to the rotating bearing 6. The grating ring 7 is installed with a transmitting optical fiber 13-1 and a receiving optical fiber 13-2. The transmitting optical fiber 13-1 and the receiving optical fiber 13-2 can be combined on the same optical fiber 13 to realize the optical transmission and reception function. A connecting component 8 is installed on the side of the rotating platform 5 away from the rotating bearing 6. One end of the connecting component 8 is fixedly connected to the rotating platform 5, and the other end of the connecting component 8 is fixedly connected to the spacer 4. The connecting component adopts an elastic pin.

[0067] As attached Figure 3 As shown, a spacer hole 9 is provided on the spacer ring 3 in this embodiment, and the receiving and transmitting optical fiber of the optical transceiver 10 and the probe of the temperature sensor 11 are installed in the spacer ring hole 9. By utilizing the relative motion relationship between the spacer ring 3 and the spacer table 4, when the hob cutter body 1 rotates, the spacer table 4 drives the grating ring belt 7 to rotate, cutting the outgoing light beam in the optical fiber, and the non-hollowed part of the grating ring belt 7 reflects the light beam back to the optical fiber, and then transmits it to the external optical transceiver to obtain a pulse signal with a positioning feature, and then obtain the hob rotation speed, rotation direction, angular acceleration and vibration frequency.

[0068] As attached Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a pipeline channel hole 12 is opened on the side of the blade shaft body 2 away from the central axis, and the pipeline channel hole 12 is connected to the spacer ring hole 9. An optical fiber 13, an electronic signal line 14 and a power line 15 are installed in the pipeline channel hole 12. The temperature sensor 11 sends data to the server end through the electronic signal line 14, and the optical transceiver 10 sends data to the server end through the optical fiber 13. The power line 15 is electrically connected to the temperature sensor 11 to supply power to it.

[0069] As attached Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment further includes a cutter housing 16, in which a generator is installed. The generator includes a disc generator 17 and a gear generator mechanism. The gear generator mechanism includes a generator transmission gear 18 and a generator gear 19. A cutter body transmission gear 20 is mounted on the cutter body 1. The generator transmission gear 18 meshes with the cutter body transmission gear 20 and the generator gear 19, respectively. The generator gear 19 is connected to the input end of the disc generator 17. The disc generator 17 is electrically connected to a rechargeable battery 21 via a rectifier and voltage regulator circuit 30. The rechargeable battery 21 is electrically connected to a temperature sensor 11 and an optical transceiver 10 via a power line 15. The optical transceiver 10 is installed in the cutter housing 16.

[0070] Example 2:

[0071] This embodiment differs from the first embodiment only in that a plurality of grating apertures 22 are formed in the grating ring 7. The rotational speed of the hob cutter body 1 is determined based on the spacing between adjacent grating apertures 22 and the periodicity of the reflected light signal, whose intensity is modulated by the grating. The rotational acceleration is then determined based on the change in the rotational speed of the hob cutter body 1. Simultaneously, a Fourier transform of the pulsed light signal with respect to time is performed to obtain a vibration frequency signal. The remaining structure, connection relationships, and positional relationships are identical to those of the first embodiment.

[0072] As attached Figure 7 As shown, the grating holes 22 are distributed radially along the grating ring zone 7 and the grating holes 22 are arranged at equal intervals and lengths.

[0073] The waveform of the modulated electronic signal received by the optical transceiver 10 is as follows:

[0074] The holes in a complete cycle are spaced d apart and timed t apart, so the rotation speed is d / t;

[0075] When the speed changes, the acceleration is obtained by differentiating the speed curve with respect to time (Δd / Δt).

[0076] When the pulsed light signal is Fourier transformed with respect to time, a vibration frequency signal can be obtained.

[0077] Example 3:

[0078] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 2 is that: Figure 8 As shown, a plurality of grating apertures 22 are distributed along the grating ring zone 7. The lengths of the grating apertures 22 are d1, d2, ..., dn, respectively, i.e., the lengths of all the grating apertures 22 are different. The distance from the upper edge of any grating aperture 22 to the upper edge of the next adjacent grating aperture 22 is equal and is p1. A reference grating 26 of fixed length is provided on one side of the grating aperture 22. The lengths of the reference gratings 26 are all equal and are p2. The duty cycle sn is calculated as follows:

[0079]

[0080] The optical transceiver 10 monitors the period and compares it with the reference grating 26. Combined with the duty cycle, the real-time absolute rotational position of the hob is monitored. The reference grating 26 serves as a reference for comparison to determine the precise rotation angle of the hob. The reference grating 26 can be a reference grating aperture, a light-reflecting surface, or a light-scattering surface. The remaining structure, connection relationships, and positional relationships are the same as those in Example 2.

[0081] For example, the entire grating ring zone 7 has 360 components, the first one has a duty cycle of 1%, the second one has a duty cycle of 2%, and the 360th one has a duty cycle of 360%. According to this method, the optical transceiver 10 can monitor the real-time absolute rotation position of the hob.

[0082] Next to the grating aperture 22, a reference grating 26 with a fixed period p2 is positioned to provide a baseline for comparison, helping to determine the precise duty cycle and determine the precise rotation angle of the hob. The reference grating 26 can be a penetrating hole, a light-reflecting surface, or a light-scattering surface. Another optical transceiver 10 monitors the period and compares it with the grating aperture 22 to determine the real-time absolute rotational position of the hob.

[0083] Example 4:

[0084] The only difference between this embodiment and embodiment 2 is that: Figure 9 As shown, the grating holes 22 are periodically distributed along the grating ring zone 7, as follows:

[0085] The grating ring 7 is provided with a number of unequally spaced large-period grating elements 27, each with lengths of D1, D2, ..., and Dn. Each large-period grating element 27 is provided with a varying number of small-period grating apertures 28, each with lengths of d1, d2, ..., and dn. The small-period grating apertures 28 are attached to the large-period grating elements 27. The optical transceiver 10 obtains the precise rotational position and direction by interpreting the large-period grating elements 27 and the small-period grating apertures 28. The rest of the structure, connection relationships, and positional relationships are the same as those in Example 2.

[0086] Example 5:

[0087] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that: Figure 10 As shown, a plurality of filters 23 of equal length are mounted on the grating ring 7 and are evenly distributed along the grating ring 7. The optical transceiver 10 monitors the real-time absolute rotational position of the hob based on the wavelength changes of the filters 23. The other structures, connection relationships, and positional relationships are the same as those in Example 1.

[0088] For example, the entire grating ring 7 has 10 components. The first unit has a filtering wavelength of λ1, the second one has a filtering wavelength of λ2, and the tenth one has a filtering wavelength of λ 10 The optical transceiver 10 monitors the real-time absolute rotation position of the hob. The filter 23 is made of an acrylic plate or the like.

[0089] Example 6:

[0090] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that: Figure 10 As shown, a plurality of polarizers 24 are mounted on the grating ring band 7. The polarizers 24 are evenly distributed along the grating ring band 7 and are of the same size. The optical transceiver 10 monitors the real-time absolute rotational position of the hob based on changes in the polarization angle of the polarizer 24. The other structures, connection relationships, and positional relationships are the same as those in Example 1.

[0091] For example, the entire grating ring zone 7 has a total of 180 components, the first polarization angle is 1°, the second is 2°, and so on and so forth, and so forth, until it reaches 180° (the polarization angle of linearly polarized light, after exceeding 180 degrees, such as 181 degrees, returns to the same as 1 degree), monitoring the real-time absolute rotation position of the hob.

[0092] Example 7:

[0093] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that: Figure 10 As shown, several diffraction plates 25 are mounted on the grating ring 7. These diffraction plates 25 are provided with various patterns, such as linear, circular, and annular. The optical transceiver 10 monitors the real-time absolute rotational position of the hob based on the patterns on the diffraction plates 25. The remaining structure, connection relationships, and positional relationships are the same as those in Example 1.

[0094] Example 8:

[0095] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that: Figure 14 As shown, the generator mechanism is mounted on the rear side of the cutterhead. It includes a disc generator 17 and a gear generator mechanism, which includes a generator transmission gear 18 and a generator gear 19. A gear ring 33 is mounted on the outer ring 29 of the rotating bearing connecting the cutterhead to the cutter compartment. The generator transmission gear 18 meshes with the gear ring 330 and the generator gear 19, respectively. The generator gear 19 is connected to the input of the disc generator 17. The disc generator 17 is electrically connected to a rechargeable battery 21 via a rectifier and voltage regulator circuit 30. The rechargeable battery 21 is electrically connected to an optical transceiver 10 and a temperature sensor 11 via a power cord 15. The optical transceiver 10 is mounted behind the cutterhead. A sealed steel pipe channel is welded to the cutterhead and cutterhead bracket. Optical fibers and electrical wires are installed beneath the cutter blades. These channels extend along the sealed steel pipe channel to the rear side of the cutterhead near the cutter compartment, where they are converted into wireless signals for transmission. The wireless signals are then received behind the cutter compartment and transmitted to a server for processing via a wired connection. The remaining structure, connections, and positional relationships are identical to those in Example 1.

[0096] Example 9:

[0097] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that: Figure 15 As shown, the rotating platform 5 is tightly matched with the spacer 4 or the bearing outer sleeve 31, and the spacer ring 3 is matched with the bearing inner ring 32. Other structures, connection relationships and positional relationships are the same as those in embodiment 1.
