[0002] At present, shield machines are widely used in excavating underground tunnels and are well-known for their economy and safety. In the process of shield machine excavation, the cutter needs to continuously cut the soil so that the shield machine can move forward smoothly. However, due to the continuous increase in temperature during the cutting process or the failure of the slag improver to play a good role, part of the mud cake will form a mud cake and stick to the cutter box, causing the cutter torque to increase and the temperature to rise, which will eventually cause the cutter to wear and the shield machine to be forced to stop and replace the cutter, which will seriously affect the excavation speed of the shield machine and delay the construction period. The problem of cleaning the mud cake in the cutter box has not been well solved. The cleaning method in the prior art not only has insufficient cleaning ability, but also requires stopping for cleaning. However, when the shield machine passes through some construction areas, it needs to pass quickly and stably, and does not have the conditions for stopping for cleaning. Therefore, how to clean the mud cake formed in the cutter box without stopping the shield machine is a core problem to be solved in this field. Summary of the invention
