Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of tunnel steel arch frame installation technology, and in particular to a tunnel boring machine steel arch frame installation system and method. Background Technology

[0002] TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine) is a tunnel construction machine that integrates tunnel excavation, muck removal, support, and ventilation functions, enabling one-time tunnel excavation. In open-face TBM construction, after the excavation of the final ring, steel arch frames are installed to support the tunnel and improve its stability and safety. Therefore, improving the rationality of steel arch frame installation can, to a certain extent, enhance the stability and safety of the tunnel.

[0003] In related technologies, the distance between two steel arch frames during installation is often determined manually. However, manual positioning is prone to errors. Errors in the distance between the two steel arch frames not only directly affect the quality of the support but also the tightness of the subsequent TBM support shoes. This is because the TBM support shoes need to be supported on the tunnel wall after excavation, and the support shoes have pre-drilled slots for the steel arch frames. If the installation and positioning of the steel arch frames are inaccurate, it will affect the tightness of the subsequent support shoes. Summary of the Invention

[0046] The example embodiments will be described in detail herein with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, unless otherwise indicated, like numbers in the different drawings represent similar or analogous elements. The following description of example embodiments is not representative of all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0047] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a tunnel boring machine steel arch installation system according to an example embodiment. As shown in Figure 1 the tunnel boring machine steel arch installation system includes a steel arch installer, a host computer, a plurality of laser range finders in communication with the host computer, a plurality of laser obstructions, and a programmable controller, wherein each laser range finder is configured in pairs with a laser obstruction.

[0048] In the present disclosure, each laser range finder is configured in pairs with a laser obstruction.

[0049] In the present disclosure, the steel arch installer is used to assemble a steel arch to be assembled, and a guide roller on the steel arch installer is used to clamp the steel arch to be assembled. When the guide roller on the steel arch installer is fully deployed and clamps the steel arch to be assembled, the longitudinal center of the guide roller coincides with the longitudinal center of the steel arch to be assembled.

[0050] In the present disclosure, the steel arch to be assembled and the steel arch already assembled are both I-beams, and the inner wall is the side close to the center of the I-beam.

[0051] In the present disclosure, at least one of the plurality of laser obstructions is a fixed laser obstruction installed on the steel arch installer, and the laser obstructions installed on the steel arch installer are movable laser obstructions installed on the steel arch already assembled.

[0052] wherein, referring to Figure 2 The base of the movable laser shield is adsorbed on the inner wall of the completed assembled steel arch by a magnet. The fixed laser shield is mounted on the structure of the steel arch installer and is fixed on the steel arch installer and cannot be moved.

[0053] The plurality of laser range finders are mounted on the fixed surface at the front end of the tunnel boring machine. The first laser range finders of the pair of fixed laser shields and the second laser range finders of the pair of movable laser shields are vertically symmetrical about the central axis on the fixed surface.

[0054] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, before positioning the steel arch each time, the distance between the measuring surface of the movable laser shield and the edge of the inner wall of the completed assembled steel arch near the steel arch installer needs to be measured and recorded.

[0055] The programmable controller is used to control the extension of the hydraulic cylinder of the steel arch installer to control the movement of the steel arch installer. The stroke value of the stroke sensor mounted on the hydraulic cylinder is read during the movement, and the stroke value is taken as the extension amount of the hydraulic cylinder.

[0056] The first laser range finder is used to measure the distance from the first laser range finder to the corresponding fixed laser shield during movement. The second laser range finder is used to measure the distance from the second laser range finder to the corresponding movable laser shield during movement.

[0057] The upper computer is used to:

[0058] According to the distance from the first laser range finder to the corresponding fixed laser shield, a first distance is obtained. According to the distance from the second laser range finder to the corresponding movable laser shield, a second distance is obtained.

[0059] It can be understood that if the first laser range finder is multiple, the first distance is the average value of the distances from the multiple first laser range finders to the corresponding fixed laser shields. Similarly, if the second laser range finder is multiple, the second distance is the average value of the distances from the multiple second laser range finders to the corresponding movable laser shields.

[0060] The host computer communicates with the programmable logic controller (PLC) in real time, reads the extension amount of the hydraulic cylinder, communicates with the communication control box, and the communication control box communicates with each laser range finder respectively. The host computer controls the opening and closing of the laser range finder by communicating with the communication control box, reads the distance between the laser range finder and the fixed laser shield installed on the steel arch installation device, and the distance between the laser range finder and the movable laser shield installed on the completed steel arch, averages the distances between the multiple laser range finders and the fixed laser shield to obtain a first distance, and averages the distances between the multiple laser range finders and the movable laser shield to obtain a second distance.

[0061] A third distance between a measuring surface of the movable laser shield and an edge of an inner wall of a completed steel arch close to the steel arch installation device is obtained.

[0062] A fourth distance between a measuring surface of the fixed laser shield and an edge of an inner wall of a steel arch to be assembled close to the front end of the shield tunneling machine close to the corresponding first laser range finder is obtained.

[0063] Whether the steel arch installation device is moved to the position is determined according to the first distance, the second distance, the third distance, the fourth distance, and a preset steel arch spacing.

[0064] In a case where it is determined that the steel arch installation device is moved to the position, the hydraulic cylinder is controlled to stop extension, and the steel arch installation device is controlled to assemble the steel arch to be assembled carried.

[0065] The above technical solution obtains the first distance according to the distance from the first laser range finder to the corresponding fixed laser shield, obtains the second distance according to the distance from the second laser range finder to the corresponding movable laser shield, obtains the third distance between the measuring surface of the movable laser shield and the edge of the inner wall of the completed steel arch close to the steel arch installation device, obtains the fourth distance between the measuring surface of the fixed laser shield and the edge of the inner wall of the steel arch to be assembled close to the front end of the shield tunneling machine close to the corresponding first laser range finder, determines whether the steel arch installation device is moved to the position according to the first distance, the second distance, the third distance, the fourth distance, and the preset steel arch spacing, controls the hydraulic cylinder to stop extension in a case where it is determined that the steel arch installation device is moved to the position, and controls the steel arch installation device to assemble the steel arch to be assembled carried. Therefore, the accuracy of the steel arch installation of the tunnel boring machine is improved, and the accuracy, reliability, and safety of the tunnel construction are improved.

[0066] In a preferred embodiment, the installation of each movable laser shield satisfies the following conditions:

[0067] The first side in the base of the movable laser shield parallel to the measuring surface of the movable laser shield coincides with the edge closest to the inner wall of the completed assembled steel arch of the steel arch mounting device, and the second side in the base of the movable laser shield parallel to the measuring surface of the movable laser shield is in the range closest to the inner wall of the completed assembled steel arch of the steel arch mounting device, and the first side and the second side are non-adjacent sides.

[0068] In a preferred embodiment, the host computer is configured to:

[0069] obtain the fifth distance from the second laser range finder to the corresponding movable laser shield when the steel arch mounting device clamps and fully expands the steel arch to be assembled, and the sixth distance from the first laser range finder to the corresponding fixed laser shield when the steel arch mounting device clamps and fully expands the steel arch to be assembled.

[0073] The sum of the third distance and the fifth distance is calculated.

[0074] The difference between the sum and the sixth distance is taken as the fourth distance from the measuring surface of the fixed laser shield to the edge of the inner wall of the steel arch to be assembled close to the front end of the shield tunneling machine.

[0075] In a preferred embodiment, the host computer is configured to:

[0076] The sum of the second distance and the third distance is calculated to obtain a first sum, and

[0079] According to the sum distance difference value of the first sum and the second sum, the extension speed of the extension of the hydraulic cylinder is controlled, wherein the extension speed is positively correlated with the sum distance difference value.

[0080] For example, if the sum distance difference value is large, the extension and retraction speed of the hydraulic cylinder is fast, if the sum distance difference value is small, the extension and retraction speed of the hydraulic cylinder is slow, which facilitates the adjustment of the position of the steel arch installation device and the steel arch to be assembled.

[0092] Step S34, whether the steel arch installer is moved to the position is determined according to the first distance, the second distance, the third distance, the fourth distance and the preset steel arch spacing.

[0093] Step S35, in the case that the steel arch installer is determined to be moved to the position, the hydraulic cylinder is controlled to stop extending, and the steel arch installer is controlled to assemble the steel arch to be assembled.
