Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to a device capable of replacing a model shield cutterhead soil pressure sensor and automatically sealing a sensor mounting hole. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the process of shield tunneling, the stability of the excavation face is crucial to the safety of shield construction, and real-time monitoring of the soil pressure on the excavation face is the key to determining the shield construction parameters and ensuring the stability of the excavation face. At the same time, the disturbance of the stratum in front of the excavation face, the change of the soil pressure, and the matching of the construction parameters are closely related to the size of the pressure on the excavation face, and the stable monitoring of the soil pressure of the shield cutterhead is of great significance to the shield construction. Tunnel excavation simulation tests are an important research method, and in order to better study the influence of shield tunneling construction on the surrounding environment in the laboratory, many scholars at home and abroad have studied model shield test machines, such as the earth pressure balance shield device developed by Beijing University of Technology in 2007, the small-diameter slurry balance shield machine developed by He Chuan in 2013, and the small-diameter slurry balance shield developed by Shandong University in 2016. He Chuan (2008, 2014) developed an earth pressure balance shield machine that can simulate the whole process of shield construction, and these shield machines only monitor the soil pressure of the soil pressure cabin panel. Beijing University of Technology developed a model shield machine capable of monitoring the soil pressure of the cutterhead in 2020, but the soil pressure sensor is fixed on the shield machine cutterhead, and it is difficult to replace it during the test process. During the shield construction process, the soil pressure sensor of the cutterhead continuously rubs against the soil, which is prone to damage, and it is necessary to replace the damaged soil pressure sensor during the test process. At the same time, when the stratum contains water, the replacement of the soil pressure sensor will cause water loss, and even gushing, and it is necessary to design a soil pressure sensor mounting device that can easily disassemble the soil pressure sensor and automatically seal the mounting hole after disassembly. SUMMARY
[0003] The purpose of the present application is to provide a device that can easily replace the soil pressure sensor of a model shield cutterhead and automatically seal the sensor mounting hole after disassembly, which provides a guarantee for the stable collection of cutterhead soil pressure data during shield construction and the safety of shield excavation tests.
[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the application adopts the following technical scheme:
[0005] The utility model provides a kind of model shield cutterhead earth pressure sensor installation device, including: sensor installation mechanism 2 and installation hole sealing mechanism 1.Sensor installation mechanism 2 is made of protective shell 14, sensor fixing piece 15, sealing ring.Earth pressure sensor 13 is placed inside protective shell 14, and earth pressure sensor is fixed in protective shell 14 top by sensor fixing piece 15, and the top of protective shell 14 is provided with limiting mechanism, to prevent earth pressure sensor 13 from sliding out of protective shell 14.The signal line of earth pressure sensor 13 is led out from the first lead hole 19 of sensor fixing piece 15.The installation hole sealing mechanism 1 of earth pressure sensor 13 is made of position fixing block 3, sealing block 6, slide rail 4, spring 7, spring fixed end 8 and sealing block limiting block 9.Slide rail 4 is anchored on fixed block 3 by bolt 5.Sealing block 6 is embedded inside slide rail 4 and can slide along slide rail 4.Sealing block 6 is provided with the installation hole of spring 7 on both sides, and the installation hole penetrates both ends of sealing block 6.The inner side of slide rail 4 is provided with sealing block limiting block 9, spring 7 is placed in the installation hole of sealing block 6, and the both ends of spring 7 are connected with spring fixed end 8 and sealing block limiting block 9 respectively.When two sealing blocks 6 move to the outside, spring 7 is stretched and deformed, and after the external force is removed, spring 7 pulls two sealing blocks 6 back to the initial position, and sealing block limiting block 9 is provided with clamping groove on sealing block 6, and when two sealing blocks 6 return to the initial position, sealing block limiting block 9 can be completely embedded inside sealing block 6, to realize the closure of sensor installation hole.
[0006] Installation hole sealing mechanism 1 is fixed on the back of cutterhead 20 panel by bolt, and the reserved hole 10 on fixed block 3 is concentric with earth pressure sensor installation hole of cutterhead 20.Sensor installation mechanism 2 is fixed in sensor installation hole of cutterhead 20 through earth pressure sensor installation hole sealing mechanism 1.Sensor installation mechanism 2 enters sensor installation hole of cutterhead 20 through the reserved hole 10 on fixed block 3 of installation hole sealing mechanism 1, and then is fixed on fixed block 3 by third bolt 18.The signal line of earth pressure sensor 13 is led to the rear of cutterhead bearing 21 from the second lead hole 22 reserved in cutterhead 20 and bearing 21, and is led out from lead-out hole, and then is connected with wireless transmission module 23.After the start of cutterhead drive motor 24, wireless transmission module 23 rotates synchronously with shield cutterhead 20, to avoid the signal line of earth pressure sensor being twisted off.Wireless transmission module 23 converts the electric signal of earth pressure sensor 13 into wireless signal and emits, and is received by external receiving device, to realize the monitoring of earth pressure of cutterhead 20.
[0007] After the replacement of the sensor 13 is completed and the sensor installation mechanism 2 is assembled, the conical top block 12 is placed in the reserved hole 10 of the fixed block 3, and the conical surface of the protrusion of the conical top block 12 is the same as the conical surface of the recess of the sealing block 6.

After the installation is completed, the conical top block 12 reaches the outside of the panel of the cutter head 20, and the friction of the soil body when the cutter head 20 rotates causes the conical top block 12 to fall into the soil, so that the stress surface of the soil pressure sensor 13 starts to contact the soil body, and the continuous monitoring of the soil pressure is realized.

After the replacement of the soil pressure sensor is completed and the sensor installation mechanism is assembled, the conical top block is placed at the front end of the sensor installation mechanism, the conical top block is pushed forward by the sensor installation mechanism, the sealing block is opened, the sensor installation mechanism is installed into the cutter head sensor installation hole, and then the sensor installation mechanism is fixed on the cutter head through the installation hole sealing mechanism. With the rotation of the cutter head, the conical top block falls into the soil, the stress surface of the soil pressure sensor contacts the soil body, and the continuous monitoring of the cutter head soil pressure is realized.

The top of the protective shell 17 is provided with a limiting mechanism to prevent the earth pressure sensor 16 from sliding out of the protective shell 15. The signal line of the earth pressure sensor 13 is led out from the first lead hole 19 of the sensor fixing part 15.
[0025] The sensor mounting hole sealing mechanism 1 is composed of a position fixing block 3, a sealing block 6, a sliding rail 4, a spring 7, a spring fixing end 8, and a sealing block limiting block 9. The side of the fixing block 3 is provided with a bolt hole, and the sliding rail 4 is anchored on the bolt hole of the side of the fixing block 3 through a first bolt 5.

When the two sealing blocks 6 move outward, the spring 7 is stretched and deformed, and after the external force is removed, the spring 7 pulls the two sealing blocks 6 back to the initial position. The sealing block limiting block 9 is arranged on the sealing block 6, and when the two sealing blocks 6 return to the initial position, the sealing block limiting block 9 can be completely embedded in the inside of the sealing block 6, so that the sealing of the sensor mounting hole is realized. The mounting hole sealing mechanism 1 is fixed on the back of the face plate of the cutter head 20 through a second bolt 11, and the round hole on the fixing block 3 is concentric with the earth pressure sensor mounting hole of the cutter head 20.
