AI Technical Summary
Existing shield machine cutterhead excavation diameter detection systems suffer from poor accuracy and reliability of detection results. In particular, contact detection systems affect cutter life and are prone to clogging, while non-contact detection systems have high environmental requirements and are easily affected by interference.
A dual-cylinder tandem detection system is adopted. The first cylinder is installed on the outer circumference of the cutterhead, and the top rod of the first cylinder extends and retracts radially. The second cylinder is installed behind the shield machine support. The extension and retraction distance of the top rod of the second cylinder is detected by the sensor. Combined with the control center, the excavation diameter of the cutterhead is calculated. This avoids the need to set up hydraulic oil chambers on the cutter and directly deploy sensors inside the tunnel.
It improves the accuracy and reliability of detection results, avoids the impact on tool life and sensor damage, has a simple structure, and has relaxed deployment requirements. It can detect the cutterhead excavation diameter in real time during tunneling.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of shield technology, and particularly relates to a double-oil-cylinder series detection system for detecting the excavation diameter of a cutter head of a shield machine. BACKGROUND
[0002] During tunneling, the cutter gradually wears, resulting in a smaller tunnel diameter. Meanwhile, the external stratum or mountain body of the tunnel shrinks inward, especially when the shield machine is stationary for a long time. The inward shrinkage is particularly obvious. A tunnel that is too small can cause the shield to be stuck. Therefore, detection of the excavation diameter of the cutter head of the shield machine is very important.
[0003] Existing detection systems are roughly divided into contact type and non-contact type. The former mostly sets a hydraulic oil cavity on the cutter that protrudes from the outer circumferential surface of the cutter head. The wear of the cutter is determined by monitoring whether the hydraulic oil pressure is lost, and the excavation diameter data of the cutter head is indirectly obtained. Since the cutter protrudes from the outer circumferential surface of the cutter head, the counterforce of the rock and soil is greater. Setting the hydraulic oil cavity reduces the overall strength of the cutter, resulting in a shorter service life of the cutter. Meanwhile, after the cutter wears, mud is also easy to enter the hydraulic oil pipeline and form a blockage. In this case, the hydraulic oil can still establish pressure, and the accuracy and reliability of the detection result are poor. The latter mostly achieves detection by setting fiber optic sensors, Hall sensors, ultrasonic sensors, and the like on the outer circumferential surface of the cutter head. Although this type of sensor has high detection accuracy, it has high requirements for the working environment, and measures such as waterproofing, dustproofing, and impact protection need to be taken. The structure is complex. Rock, debris, and mud on the inner wall of the tunnel can also interfere with the detection results of the sensor, causing misjudgment. In addition, the signal line of the sensor needs to be led out after the cutter support and the center rotating joint, and the layout distance is long. It is also easy to be broken by rock, debris, and mud at the cutter position, which is very fragile, making the accuracy and reliability of the detection result poor. SUMMARY

[0036] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby providing a clearer and more explicit definition of the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0037] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the dual-cylinder tandem detection system for detecting the excavation diameter of a tunnel boring machine cutterhead provided by the present invention includes: a first hydraulic cylinder 10, a second hydraulic cylinder 20, an oil circuit, a sensor 40, and a control center (not shown in the figure). The first hydraulic cylinder 10 is mounted on the cutterhead 51 and close to its outer peripheral surface 511. The push rod 11 of the first hydraulic cylinder 10 can extend or retract from the outer peripheral surface 511 in the radial direction of the cutterhead 10. The second hydraulic cylinder 20 is mounted on the tunnel boring machine support 52 and located behind the cutterhead 51. The oil circuit is used for the first hydraulic cylinder 10. The oil circuit for the second cylinder 20 includes an oil supply pipe connecting the oil source 35 to the oil inlet of the first cylinder 10, a connecting pipe connecting the oil return port of the first cylinder 10 to the oil inlet of the second cylinder 20, and a return pipe 33 connecting the oil return port of the second cylinder 20 to the return oil tank 36; the sensor 40 is a displacement sensor, which is used to detect the extension distance of the push rod 21 of the second cylinder 20; the control center is connected to the sensor 40, which is used to receive the detection value of the sensor 40 and convert it into the excavation diameter of the tunnel boring machine cutterhead.
[0038] In this way, the second oil cylinder 20 top rod 21 and the first oil cylinder 10 top rod 11 can be synchronized (including the same speed and different speeds) to extend, when the oil supply pipe supplies oil, the first cylinder body 10 top rod 11 extends out of the outer peripheral surface 511, and the second cylinder body 20 top rod 21 follows to extend synchronously, when the first cylinder body 10 top rod 11 abuts against the inner wall of the tunnel, the detection value of the sensor 40 no longer changes, and the control center calculates the extension distance of the first cylinder body 10 top rod 11 according to the detection value, thereby calculating the excavation diameter of the cutter head.
[0039] The advantages of this arrangement are:
[0040] 1. The method of arranging a hydraulic oil chamber on the cutter is abandoned, which does not affect the service life of the cutter and does not cause the phenomenon of blocked oil way, and the accuracy and reliability of the detection result are better.
[0041] 2. The sensor can be arranged away from the cutter head and is not affected by rock blocks, debris, mud and the like, and the arrangement requirement is loose and not harsh, the structure is simple, the signal line of the sensor is not required to pass through the cutter head and the central rotary joint, and is not easy to be damaged, and the accuracy and reliability of the detection result are better.
[0042] 3. During detection, the protrusions on the inner wall of the tunnel do not affect the real-time detection of the excavation diameter of the cutter head during tunneling, and if the excavation diameter is found to be too small during the detection process, the position where the excavation diameter is too small can be specifically reflected.
[0043] 4. Without relying on manual operation, automatic detection can be completely realized, the adverse consequences caused by human error operation are reduced, installation is simple and easy to understand, and protection of the sensor signal cable does not need to be considered.
[0044] The conversion method of the control center will be described below.
[0045] When the control center receives the detection value of the sensor 40, the extension distance of the second oil cylinder 20 top rod 21 can be known, and the extension distance of the first oil cylinder 10 top rod 11 can be obtained by multiplying the ratio of the piston cavity cross-sectional areas of the first oil cylinder 10 and the second oil cylinder 20.
[0046] For convenience of control, a control valve group is arranged on the oil way in the embodiment, the control valve group includes a switching valve group 341, an oil supply valve group 342 and an oil return valve group 343, the switching valve group 341 is arranged on the oil supply pipe and the oil return pipe 33 and is arranged close to the oil source 35 and the oil return tank 36, the oil supply valve group 342 is connected to the oil supply pipe and is located between the switching valve group 341 and the first oil cylinder 10, and the oil return valve group 343 is connected to the oil return pipe 33 and is located between the switching valve group 341 and the second oil cylinder 20.
[0047] Specifically, the switching valve group 341 is a three-position four-way directional valve to control the oil supply pipe and the oil return pipe 33 simultaneously, the oil supply valve group 342 and the oil return valve group 343 are arranged correspondingly, the oil supply valve group 342 comprises a first hydraulic control check valve 3421, a first speed regulating valve 3422, a first safety valve 3423 and an oil supply pressure sensor 3424 arranged at intervals, the first hydraulic control check valve 3421 is located between the first speed regulating valve 3422 and the switching valve group 341, the first speed regulating valve 3422 is located between the first hydraulic control check valve 3421 and the first safety valve 3423, the first safety valve 3423 is located between the first speed regulating valve 3422 and the oil supply pressure sensor 3424, the oil return valve group 343 comprises a second hydraulic control check valve 3431, a second speed regulating valve 3432, a second safety valve 3433 and an oil return pressure sensor 3434 arranged at intervals, the second hydraulic control check valve 3431 is located between the second speed regulating valve 3432 and the switching valve group 341, the second speed regulating valve 3432 is located between the second hydraulic control check valve 3431 and the second safety valve 3433, the second safety valve 3433 is located between the second speed regulating valve 3432 and the oil return pressure sensor 3434, the first hydraulic control check valve 3421 and the second hydraulic control check valve 3431 are arranged in the same direction, at the same time, the hydraulic control circuits of the first hydraulic control check valve 3421 and the second hydraulic control check valve 3431 are arranged in cross, that is, the oil pressure in the oil supply pipe can control the opening and closing of the second hydraulic control check valve 3431, and the oil pressure in the oil return pipe 33 can control the opening and closing of the first hydraulic control check valve 3421; the setting direction of the check valve assembly in the first speed regulating valve 3422 is the same as that in the second speed regulating valve 3432; the relief ports of the first safety valve 3423 and the second safety valve 3433 are connected with the oil return tank 36.
[0048] The advantage of such arrangement is that when the convex part appears on the inner wall of the tunnel, it can be avoided by pushing the first oil cylinder 10 push rod 11 inward, during the process of pushing back, the pressure in the oil supply pipe rises, when its pressure exceeds the set pressure of the first safety valve 3423, the first safety valve 3423 is connected, so that the excess hydraulic oil flows into the oil return tank 36 through the relief port, avoiding damage to the first oil cylinder 10 and other parts.
[0049] To conveniently realize the unification of the initial positions of the top rod 21 of the second oil cylinder 20 and the top rod 11 of the first oil cylinder 10, in the embodiment, the control valve group further comprises a manual ball valve 344 connected in parallel with the second oil cylinder 20. When adjusting the initial positions of the top rod 21 of the second oil cylinder 20 and the top rod 11 of the first oil cylinder 10, the manual ball valve 344 is first opened, and then the switching valve group 341 is switched to the reverse oil supply state. At this time, the high-pressure hydraulic oil provided by the oil source 36 flows into the first oil cylinder 10 through the oil return pipe 33, the manual ball valve 344 and the connecting pipe, so that the top rod 11 of the first oil cylinder 10 is retracted inward to the limit position, and then the top rod 21 of the second oil cylinder 20 is pushed in the retracting direction, so that it is in the limit position of retracting inward. Thus, the unification of the initial positions of the top rod 11 of the first oil cylinder 10 and the top rod 21 of the second oil cylinder 20 is realized. After unification, the manual ball valve is closed, and the switching valve group 341 is switched to the forward oil supply state (flowing in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 13), so that the detection of the cutting diameter of the cutter head is realized. Figure 6
[0050] To further improve the avoidance effect on the protruding part of the inner wall of the tunnel, in the embodiment, the end face of the top rod 11 of the first oil cylinder 10 is a conical surface 111, which can conveniently push the protruding part against the top rod 11 of the first oil cylinder 10. However, the included angle between the generatrix of the conical surface 111 and the axis of the top rod 11 of the first oil cylinder 10 should not be too large or too small. If it is too large, the pushing effect is poor, and the edge part of the top rod 11 is easily damaged. If it is too small, the top of the conical surface 111 is easily pressed into the inner wall of the tunnel during detection, which affects the accuracy of the detection result. In order to consider the pushing effect and the detection result, and better realize the detection of the cutting diameter of the cutter head in the tunneling process, the included angle is preferably 83 to 87 degrees, and in the embodiment, the included angle is 85 degrees.
[0051] To reduce the wear of the conical surface 111 and improve the service life thereof, in the embodiment, the end of the top rod 11 of the first oil cylinder 10 is provided with a hard alloy layer 112, and the conical surface 111 is located at the outermost side of the hard alloy layer 112. The thickness of the hard alloy layer 112 is 5-10 mm, and the retracting limit distance of the top rod 11 of the first oil cylinder 10 is 45 mm. When the top rod 11 of the first oil cylinder 10 is retracted to the outer peripheral surface 511, the distance between the end face (conical surface 111) of the top rod 11 of the first oil cylinder 10 and the outer peripheral surface 511 is 5-10 mm.
[0052] In the embodiment, the sensor 40 is integrated in the second oil cylinder 20, which can make the overall structure more simple, but can increase the cost of the second oil cylinder 20. A oil cylinder with position detection function needs to be used. In other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 14, the sensor 40 is arranged outside the second oil cylinder 20 and connected with the top rod 21 of the second oil cylinder 20 through a connecting plate, which can save cost and use a conventional oil cylinder as the second oil cylinder 20.
