When the planned route encounters reinforced concrete obstacles such as pile foundations and underground continuous walls that cannot be avoided, simply relying on a tunnel boring machine to directly cut the reinforced concrete is low in efficiency, the cutter is severely worn, the screw conveyor is stuck, and the cutter head is wound with steel, and other problems are particularly prominent. The combination of high-pressure abrasive water jet and shield cutter can cut the steel in advance using abrasive water jet cutting, and then cut the pre-cutting part using the cutter, which can quickly and effectively break the reinforced concrete and reduce the wear and tear of the cutter and the steel when they collide and rub. It has great potential to safely and efficiently pass through underground obstacles and solve the problem of cutting reinforced concrete in urban underground shield tunneling.

[0004] Although the abrasive water jet-assisted shield cutting of reinforced concrete has good application prospects, there is no matching related control system. If construction is carried out blindly, the ability of the abrasive water jet to cut efficiently cannot be fully utilized, and even the opposite of the expected result may occur. SUMMARY

[0054] The application will be further described below in combination with the drawings and embodiments.

[0055] It should be pointed out that the following detailed description is exemplary and is intended to provide further description of the present application. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as generally understood by those skilled in the art to which the present application belongs.

[0056] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of exemplary embodiments according to the invention. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0057] An example of a typical embodiment will be used for illustration:

[0058] A subway line in a certain city is being excavated using a tunnel boring machine (TBM). During construction, a reinforced concrete section 3 was encountered in the exit reinforcement zone. The main reinforcing bars 31 have a diameter of 22mm, and the concrete strength is C30. The construction environment is below the water level. Because conventional mechanical cutting is ineffective in cutting the reinforcing bars and carries high construction risks, this project employs a combined abrasive waterjet-TBM cutting technology for the reinforced concrete. The relative positions of the reinforced concrete in the reinforcement zone and the TBM cutterhead are shown in Figures 1(a) and (b). The area of ​​reinforced concrete to be cut by the cutterhead is the entire cutterhead surface.

[0059] like Figure 2 As shown, the cutter head adopts a 4-span 11-panel structure with a diameter of 6024mm. It has 16 shell cutters 12 and 4 abrasive waterjet nozzles 13. The installation radius of the innermost shell cutter is 1204mm, and the installation radius of the outermost shell cutter is 2960mm. The installation radii of the 4 abrasive waterjet nozzles from the inside to the outside are 1202mm, 1788mm, 2374mm, and 2960mm, respectively, and the corresponding nozzle diameters are 0.33mm, 0.45mm, 0.55mm, and 0.68mm.

[0060] The basic construction process for the integral cutting system (referred to as tunnel boring machine) in this embodiment is as follows:

[0061] Step 1: The cutterhead stops rotating and propulsing when the tunnel boring machine just comes into contact with the reinforced concrete obstacle;

[0062] Step 2: Turn on the abrasive waterjet, without advancing the cutter head, rotate at a certain speed to drive the abrasive waterjet for cutting;

[0063] Step 3: When the abrasive waterjet cutting reaches a certain depth L j At this time, the abrasive waterjet is turned off, the cutter head rotates and advances, and the shell cutter cuts the reinforced concrete that has been pre-cut by the abrasive waterjet. When the shell cutter reaches a certain cutting depth L... m At this time, the cutter head stops rotating and advances;

[0064] Step 4: Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the tunnel boring machine passes through the reinforced concrete obstacle.

[0065] In step 2, when the abrasive waterjet cuts concrete, the cutter head speed is 2 r / min; when the abrasive waterjet cuts steel bars, the cutter head speed is 0.1 r / min.

[0066] In step 3, when the shell cutter is cutting concrete pre-cut by abrasive waterjet, the cutter head speed is 6 r / min and the penetration is 2 mm; when the shell cutter is cutting steel bars pre-cut by abrasive waterjet, the cutter head speed is 1 r / min and the penetration is 1 mm.

[0067] like Figure 3 As shown, the intelligent control system for the combined abrasive waterjet and shield machine cutting of reinforced concrete, mounted on a tunnel boring machine (TBM), includes an abrasive waterjet power mechanism, a shield machine power mechanism, a diagnostic module, an input unit, a host computer, a PLC controller, a storage module, a display screen, and an alarm device; wherein the PLC controller connects the abrasive waterjet power mechanism, the shield machine power mechanism, the diagnostic module, the input unit, the host computer, the storage module, the display screen, and the alarm device.

[0068] Of course, in other embodiments, the modules of the control system described above can be adapted to be replaced, modified, added, or reduced.

[0069] The abrasive water jet power mechanism is connected to a PLC controller, and the PLC controller controls and adjusts the abrasive water jet opening or closing, water supply pressure, and abrasive flow rate.

[0070] The shield tunneling machine's power mechanism is connected to a PLC controller, which controls and adjusts the cutterhead's advance, rotation speed, and penetration depth.

[0071] The diagnostic module is connected to a high-pressure water jet supply pressure sensor, an abrasive concentration sensor, and a tunnel boring machine cutterhead torque sensor. It monitors the water supply pressure, abrasive concentration, and cutterhead torque of the abrasive water jet-tunnel boring machine combined cutting system (device), diagnoses the operating status of the three, and sends the diagnostic results to the PLC controller.

[0072] During system operation, the diagnostic module monitors the water supply pressure, abrasive concentration, and cutterhead torque in real time and performs diagnostics. When the water supply pressure is lower than its set threshold, or the abrasive concentration is lower than its set threshold, or the cutterhead torque is higher than its set threshold, a fault is detected, and a signal is sent to the processor. The processor controls the shutdown of the abrasive water jet power mechanism and the shield tunneling machine power mechanism, and controls the alarm device to issue an alarm prompt. The data generated in the above process is stored by the storage module and output by the output module.

[0073] The system also includes:

[0074] The input unit is connected with a three-way force sensor installed on the shield cutter holder, obtains the shield cutter cutting force, and transmits the shield cutter cutting force to the sensor; in addition, the input unit inputs various threshold values and other parameters to the PLC controller in the form of a touch screen, a keyboard, and a button.

[0075] The upper computer is used to import the abrasive water jet-shield machine combined cutting model and the combined cutting process optimal parameter database into the PLC controller.

[0076] The combined cutting process optimal parameter database includes recommended values of optimal L j , L m under different steel bar diameters, cutter penetration, and cutting speed conditions. Wherein L j is the abrasive water jet cutting depth, and L m is the shield cutter cutting depth. The values can be determined according to historical data or experience data.

[0077] The PLC controller is used to process calculation and control the operation process of the abrasive water jet power mechanism and the shield machine power mechanism, and sends a signal to control the shutdown of the abrasive water jet power mechanism and the shield machine power mechanism when the diagnosis result is a fault; compares the shield cutter cutting force transmitted by the input unit with the set threshold value to determine the contact state of the shield cutter and the reinforced concrete, and is further used to obtain the shield cutting reinforced concrete range; and calculates the optimal construction parameters of the abrasive water jet power mechanism and the shield machine power mechanism according to the abrasive water jet-shield machine combined cutting model and the combined cutting process optimal parameter database.

[0078] The contact state determination process of the shield cutter and the reinforced concrete obstacle is to take the ratio Fr / p of the shield cutter cutting force Fr and the shield machine penetration p (mm / rew) as a determination value, and divide the contact state of the shield cutter and the reinforced concrete. When the determination value Fr / p is in the interval [0, K1], it is determined that the shield cutter does not contact the reinforced concrete; when the determination value Fr / p is in the interval (K1, K2], it is determined that the shield cutter contacts the concrete part in the reinforced concrete; when the determination value Fr / p is in the interval (K3, K4], it is determined that the shield cutter contacts the steel bar part in the reinforced concrete, and the K1, K2, K3, and K4 are obtained by indoor test.

[0079] The shield cutting reinforced concrete range is obtained according to the contact state of the shield cutter and the reinforced concrete obstacle and the shield cutter disc construction parameters.

[0080] An polar coordinate system is established on the disc plane with the disc center as the origin, and the initial position of the shield cutter is (p i0 , θi0 , t0), the time history curve of the cutting force record of the shield cutter rotating one circle is F(i, t0, t), the initial time t1 and the termination time t2 of the contact of the disc cutter to the concrete part in the reinforced concrete are determined according to the determination method of the contact state of the shield cutter to the reinforced concrete obstacle, and the polar angle range of the reinforced concrete obstacle relative to the cutter head distribution is [θ0+w*t1, θ0+w*t2], wherein w is the rotating speed of the cutter head.

[0081] Meanwhile, the minimum installation radius ρ min and the maximum installation radius ρ max of the shield cutter in the interval (K1, K2] according to the determination value are obtained. min , ρ max ]. The reinforced concrete cutting range of the shield is the area formed by the polar angle range [θ0+w*t1, θ0+w*t2] and the polar radius range [ρ min , ρ max ].

[0082] The reinforced concrete cutting range of the shield is used to guide the opening of the abrasive water jet cutting reinforced concrete range. During the rotation of the cutter head, when the water jet nozzle on the cutter head enters the range, the abrasive water jet is opened; on the contrary, the abrasive water jet is closed.

[0083] The amplitude angle size of the distribution range of the reinforced concrete relative to the cutter head of the shield is β, and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0084] β=w*(t2-t1) (1)

[0085] Wherein w is the rotating speed of the cutter head, t1 is the initial time t1 of the contact of the shield cutter to the concrete part in the reinforced concrete, and t2 is the termination time;

[0086] When β=2π, the cutter head is continuously rotated in one direction to drive the abrasive water jet to cut; when β<2π, the cutter head is reciprocatingly rotated to drive the abrasive water jet to reciprocatingly cut.

[0087] The system further comprises:

[0088] The storage module is connected with the PLC controller and is used to store the water supply pressure, abrasive concentration and cutter head torque data monitored by the diagnosis module and the shield cutter cutting force data;

[0089] The display screen is connected with the PLC controller and is used to output the water supply pressure, abrasive concentration and cutter head torque data monitored by the diagnosis module and the shield cutter cutting force data;

[0090] The alarm device is connected with the PLC controller, when the processor receives the diagnosis result of the diagnosis module as a fault, the processor sends a signal to the alarm device, and the alarm device issues an alarm prompt.

[0091] In other embodiments, the PLC controller can also be replaced by other types of processors.

[0092] In this embodiment, the working method of the intelligent control system is:

[0093] Before the system is started, the related threshold values and other parameters are set by the input unit, and the abrasive water jet-shield machine combined cutting model and the combined cutting process optimal parameter database are imported by the upper computer; after the system is started, the processor obtains the contact state of the shield cutter and the reinforced concrete, and the distribution range of the reinforced concrete relative to the shield cutter, and calculates the optimal abrasive water jet parameters and shield machine power parameters, and controls the abrasive water jet power mechanism and the shield machine power mechanism to operate.

[0094] In this embodiment, the ratio Fr / p of the shell cutter cutting force Fr and the shell cutter penetration p / (mm / rew) is taken as the judgment value, the threshold value of the judgment value is set by the keyboard in the input unit, when the judgment value is in the interval [0, 20], it is judged that the shield cutter does not contact the reinforced concrete; when the judgment value is in the interval (20, 50], it is judged that the shield cutter contacts the concrete part in the reinforced concrete; when the judgment value is in the interval (50, 200], it is judged that the shield cutter contacts the steel bar part in the reinforced concrete.

[0095] Since the construction environment of this embodiment is below the water level, the abrasive water jet-shield machine combined cutting model and the combined cutting process optimal parameter database under the submerged cutting condition need to be imported by the upper computer. The combined cutting model includes the reinforced steel cutting depth prediction model of the abrasive water jet under the submerged condition, the concrete cutting depth prediction model of the abrasive water jet under the submerged condition, the combined cutting process parameter (L j , L m ) optimal model, the abrasive water jet cutting energy consumption model, etc.

[0096] The reinforced steel cutting depth prediction model of the abrasive water jet under the submerged condition and the abrasive water jet cutting energy consumption model are as follows:

[0097] D j = 0.112υ -0.988 T 0.435 P 0.725 d 1.351 (2)

[0098] W j0 = v 0.988 d 0.649P 0.775 (3)

[0099] where D j is the cutting depth of steel bar, W j 0 is the energy consumption of abrasive water jet, v is the linear cutting speed, T is the target distance, P is the water jet pressure, and d is the nozzle diameter. The model does not consider the variable of abrasive concentration, which is set to 13%, and it is found through indoor experiments that the efficiency of abrasive water jet cutting of steel bar is high at this abrasive concentration.

[0100] The abrasive water jet cutting depth prediction model and the abrasive water jet cutting energy consumption model are used to determine the optimal abrasive water jet parameters to achieve consistent abrasive water jet cutting depth at each place with the lowest energy consumption.

[0101] The joint cutting process optimal parameter database includes the recommended values of optimal L j , L m under different steel bar diameters, tool penetration, and cutting speed conditions. Wherein L j is the abrasive water jet cutting depth, and L m is the shield cutter cutting depth.

[0102] After the system is started, the PLC controller obtains the contact state of the shield cutter and the reinforced concrete, and the distribution range of the reinforced concrete relative to the shield cutter, and calculates the optimal abrasive water jet parameters and shield mechanical power parameters, and controls the abrasive water jet power mechanism and the shield mechanical power mechanism to operate.

[0103] ①In this embodiment, the cutter head does not contact the reinforced concrete before construction. After the system is started, the PLC controls the shield mechanical power mechanism to advance at a cutter head speed of 6 r / min and a penetration of 1 mm, and at the same time, the PLC controller compares the ratio Fr / p of the real-time monitored cutting force Fr of the shell cutter to the penetration p of the shell cutter (mm / rew) as a judgment value with the set threshold value. When the judgment value is in the interval (20, 50], it is determined that the shell cutter contacts the concrete, and then the PLC controller controls the shield mechanical power system to cut a circle at a cutter head speed of 0.1 r / min and a penetration of 1 mm. The system compares the judgment value Fr / p collected by each shell cutter at each time during one rotation with the set threshold value, and combines the initial position of each shell cutter to obtain the distribution range of the reinforced concrete relative to the cutter head as the entire cutter head surface, and the amplitude of the distribution range of the reinforced concrete relative to the cutter head is 2π. Therefore, the cutter head is continuously rotated in one direction to drive the abrasive water jet to cut.

[0104] ②When the PLC controller determines that the shell cutter contacts the concrete part in the reinforced concrete, the PLC controller automatically sets the optimal abrasive water jet parameters and shield machine power parameters for each water jet nozzle on the cutter head according to the imported abrasive water jet-shield machine combined cutting model and optimal parameter database of the combined cutting process under the submerged cutting condition, and controls the shield machine to perform construction according to the following construction process:

[0105] S1: The cutter head stops advancing, the abrasive water jet is turned on, and the cutter head rotates in one direction at a cutter head speed of 2 r / min without advancing to drive the abrasive water jet to cut the concrete;

[0106] S2: When the abrasive water jet cutting depth reaches 100 mm, the abrasive water jet is turned off, and the cutter head rotates and advances at a speed of 6 r / min and a penetration depth of 2 mm to cut the concrete that has been pre-cut by the abrasive water jet, and when the shell cutter cutting depth reaches 100 mm, the cutter head stops rotating and advancing;

[0107] S3: S1 and S2 are cycled until the shell cutter contacts the steel part in the reinforced concrete;

[0108] ③When the PLC controller determines that the shell cutter contacts the steel part in the reinforced concrete, the PLC controller automatically sets the optimal abrasive water jet parameters and shield machine power parameters for each water jet nozzle on the cutter head according to the imported abrasive water jet-shield machine combined cutting model and optimal parameter database of the combined cutting process under the submerged cutting condition.
