Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of engineering construction equipment, and in particular to a block-type cutter head auxiliary assembly device, an assembly system and an assembly method. Background Art

[0002] As the primary equipment for tunnel excavation, the TBM (Transport Boring Machine) boasts high excavation speeds, environmental friendliness, and high overall efficiency. It enables the construction of deep, long tunnels in complex terrain, difficult to achieve with traditional drill-and-blast methods. Depending on the operating conditions, TBM cutterheads are available in various configurations, including monolithic and segmented. To facilitate hoisting, operation, assembly, disassembly, and storage, large-diameter TBM cutterheads are often segmented. During operation, the cutterhead gradually dislodges the rock at the tunnel face through the penetration, compression, and friction of the cutterheads, resulting in the gradual dislodging of rock from the tunnel face through rotation (around its axis) and revolution (around the cutterhead's center flange), completing the excavation process. The cutterheads and cutterhead holders experience significant wear and tear throughout the excavation process. Factors affecting cutter life and cutterhead holder wear include not only the materials of the cutter and cutterhead holder, as well as the type of geology being operated, but also the dimensional accuracy of the cutter and cutterhead holders.

[0003] The existing TBM block-type hob cutter assembly methods mainly include the following: 1. Design a special cutter mounting tool and tool template according to the excavation radius of each hob cutter, complete the riveting and welding of multiple blocks, and then complete the assembly of the middle block and the blocks. The cutter mounting tool is positioned on the cutter head panel with the middle block as the center. The tool template is connected to the cutter mounting tool. The cutter mounting tool is rotated and positioned using the tool template and the dummy tool to complete the riveting and positioning of the hob cutter seat in one go. 2. The connecting plate between the block and the middle block retains machining allowances. A single side block is assembled with the middle block. The cutter mounting tool is positioned at the center panel according to the direction of the machining allowance of the side block and the middle block. The cutter mounting tool is connected to the tool template. The cutter mounting tool is rotated and positioned using the tool template and the dummy tool to complete the riveting and positioning of a single side block hob cutter seat in one go. After completing the riveting of the hob cutter seat of one side block, assemble the other side blocks and the middle block in sequence to complete the positioning of the cutter mounting tool and the riveting of the hob cutter seat. Finally, complete the processing of the middle block and the side blocks. 3. After the center block and the side block are riveted and welded once, the cutter head center is determined by flange processing. The theoretical tool center of each hob cutter seat is determined by the determined cutter head center, and then the positioning device is used to complete the riveting welding of a single hob cutter seat. Finally, the machining of the middle block and the side block is completed.

[0004] When riveting and positioning the existing TBM cutterhead hob cutter holder, if the side blocks are machined first and then assembled with the middle block, the entire cutterhead hob cutter holder is riveted through the tool mounting fixture, tool template and hob dummy cutter, there is a risk of secondary alignment reference deviation, and there is no concession size between the block and the middle block connecting plate; if there is a large deviation in the position of the tool box, the position of the hob cutter holder cannot be guaranteed; if the side blocks and the middle block retain machining allowances, a single side block is assembled with the middle block, and the tool mounting fixture offset center cooperates with the hob dummy cutter to complete the riveting of the single side block hob cutter holder. Multiple blocks are assembled and repeated operations are performed, the process is complicated, the construction period is long, and the benchmark needs to be aligned multiple times, which increases the risk of deviation.

[0035] To better understand the above technical solutions, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. Instead, these embodiments are provided to enable a clearer and more thorough understanding of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0036] Example 1:

[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2This embodiment provides a segmented cutter disc auxiliary assembly device, including a frame 11 and an upper support member 12. The upper support member 12 is horizontally arranged above the frame 11. The frame 11 plays a supporting role, and the support member 112 provides a horizontal support platform. The frame 11 and the upper support member 12 are both axially symmetrical along the same central vertical plane, and the frame 11 and the upper support member 12 are coaxially arranged along a vertical axis. The center position of the upper support member 12 is used to horizontally position the tooling 3 above the cutter disc position. In this way, the segmented cutter disc auxiliary assembly device can provide a stable center axis for the installation of the tooling 3, so that the subsequent tooling 3 can accurately position the hob cutter seat. The height of the auxiliary assembly device in the vertical direction is equal to the thickness of the cutter disc, which can simulate the thickness of the middle block in the segmented cutter disc, which is conducive to positioning the height of the tooling 3. That is, the auxiliary assembly device as a whole is an axisymmetric structure, and the position of its central axis represents the central axis of the entire cutter disc. The tool mounting tool 3 is installed and positioned to the central axis. Then, the distance extending from the central axis of the auxiliary assembly device along the tool mounting tool 3 to the periphery is equal to the distance extending radially outward from the center of the cutter disc. In this way, the position of the hob on the cutter disc side block 2 can be directly and accurately positioned by the self-auxiliary assembly device, and there is no need to repeatedly use the cutter disc middle block as a reference.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 This embodiment provides a segmented cutter disc auxiliary assembly device, which also includes a fixed base 13. A second through hole 131 is opened on the fixed base 13 in the vertical direction. The second through hole 131 is coaxially arranged with the upper support member 12. The tool mounting tool 3 is installed in the second through hole 131. The fixed base 13 is adjustably arranged above the upper support member 12 in the vertical direction to adjust the horizontal state of the tool mounting tool 3.

[0039] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 The fixed base 13 and the upper support member 12 are connected around the central axis of the upper support member 12 using a plurality of spaced adjustment bolts 14 to adjust the horizontal position of the fixed base 13 relative to the upper support member 12, thereby indirectly adjusting the horizontal position of the tool attachment 3. A plurality of limit blocks 15 are vertically disposed between the fixed base 13 and the upper support member 12. The limit blocks 15 are located between the fixed base 13 and the upper support member 12 and are embedded within both the fixed base 13 and the upper support member 12 to provide a horizontal limit for the two, preventing horizontal displacement of the fixed base 13 and the upper support member 12. The plurality of limit blocks 15 correspond one-to-one to the plurality of adjustment bolts 14, which are inserted into the limit blocks 15. This allows the limit blocks 15 to be vertically constrained, ensuring that they function as limiters within the grooves of the fixed base 13 and the upper support member 12, thereby ensuring that the tool attachment 3 is positioned at the center of the auxiliary assembly device.

[0040] In addition, refer to Figure 2 The fixed base 13 and upper support 12 are both nearly square plates, with four adjustment bolts 14 and four limit blocks 15 at the four corners, allowing the fixed base 13 to be leveled from four directions. Furthermore, the fixed base 13 and upper support 12 are hollowed out and have semi-moon-shaped notches around them to reduce the weight of the tooling and facilitate assembly and hoisting.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 This embodiment provides a block-type cutter disc auxiliary assembly device, wherein the frame 11 includes a support portion and a lower support member 111. The lower support member 111 and the upper support member 12 are arranged at both ends of the support portion in the vertical direction. The cross-sectional area of ​​the lower support member 111 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the upper support member 12, and the support is more stable. The lower support member 111 may be a plate, a block structure, etc. The support portion includes at least four ribs 1121, and the four ribs 1121 are axially symmetrically distributed around the central axis of the upper support member 12. The two axially symmetrical ribs 1121 are located in the same vertical plane, which can provide symmetrical support and facilitate leveling of the fixed base 13. The rib 1121 is a trapezoidal plate that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. The side of the trapezoidal plate facing the central axis of the upper support member 12 forms an acute angle greater than 45° with the upper surface of the lower support member 111. The two symmetrically arranged ribs 1121 cooperate with the lower support member 111 and the upper support member 12 in the plane where they are located to form a stable supporting effect. At the same time, the supporting part adopts ribs 1121 arranged at intervals, which ensures the supporting effect while reducing the weight of the auxiliary assembly device, making it convenient to move and use.

[0042] Furthermore, in this embodiment, an upper support member 12 can replace the fixed base 13. A first through-hole (not labeled) is provided at the center of the upper support member 12 for vertically adjustable mounting of the tool holder 3, for example, via a threaded connection. In this case, the tool holder 3 can be leveled by mechanically adding a horizontal contact surface between the support member 12 and the tool holder 3 to ensure levelness.

[0043] In general, the auxiliary assembly device has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, and is conducive to popularization and use.

[0044] Example 2:

[0045] Reference Figure 5 This embodiment provides a block-type cutter disc auxiliary assembly system, including the block-type cutter disc auxiliary assembly device 1 in Example 1, and also includes multiple edge blocks 2, a tool mounting tool 3, a tool template 4, multiple hob cutter seats and hob dummy cutters.

[0046] To explain, in the prior art, a segmented cutterhead is assembled from multiple side blocks and a central block, with multiple hobs distributed and mounted on the working surfaces of the side blocks via corresponding hob holders. Before installing the hobs, the hob holders must be positioned and installed, and then the hobs are mounted on the holders. A tooling fixture is typically located above the cutterhead's side blocks to position and support the tool template, which in turn positions and supports the hob dummy. The hob dummy is used to position the hob holder, which then positions and installs the hob holder in its pre-set position.

[0047] In this embodiment, every two side blocks 2 are placed horizontally relative to each other according to a preset position, and the segmented cutterhead auxiliary assembly device 1 is located at the same horizontal position as the two side blocks 2 and is located at the center between the two side blocks 2. The tooling 3 is arranged above the segmented cutterhead auxiliary assembly device 1, and the tooling 3 can rotate around the central axis of the segmented cutterhead auxiliary assembly device 1 to cover the cutterhead position where the side blocks 2 are located. In this way, by rotating the tooling 3 one circle, it can be moved to any position above the two symmetrically arranged side blocks 2, which is convenient for positioning and installation construction at different positions on the two side blocks 2.

[0048] Because the side blocks 2 of the cutter disc have a mechanical margin before assembly, the two opposite side blocks 2 can be installed with the hob cutter holder at the same time, which is different from the way of installing the hob cutter holder on two adjacent side blocks 2 at the same time without affecting each other.

[0049] The hob dummy knife can be detachably set under the tool template 4, and aligned with the preset position of the hob cutter seat on the edge block 2 under the rotation cooperation of the tool mounting tool 3; the hob cutter seat is positioned and installed to the corresponding preset position on the edge block 2 with the help of the hob dummy knife.

[0050] Example 3:

[0051] Reference Figure 5 This embodiment provides a method for assembling a segmented cutterhead, based on the segmented cutterhead auxiliary assembly system in Example 2. The specific steps are as follows:

[0052] S1. Place the two side blocks 2 at opposite positions on the cutter head at the same horizontal position according to the installation requirements, adjust the flatness, and determine the center between the two side blocks 2. Here, the two side blocks can be placed on a horizontal welding platform to facilitate subsequent construction work.

[0053] S2. Install the tooling fixture 3 to the center position of the upper support 112 of the segmented tool disc auxiliary assembly device 1, then install the tool template 4 onto the tooling fixture 3, adjust the flatness of the tool template 4, and assemble to obtain a positioning assembly.

[0054] S3. Place the segmented cutter disc auxiliary assembly device 1 in the positioning assembly between the two side blocks 2, align the central axis of the segmented cutter disc auxiliary assembly device 1 with the center between the two side blocks 2, adjust the tool template 4 to correspond to the position of the side block 2, rotate the tool template 4 to different preset hob seat positions, and cooperate with the hob dummy knife to complete the positioning riveting of all hob seat on the two side blocks 2.

[0055] S4. Repeat steps S1 to S3 to complete the positioning and riveting of the hob cutter holders on all side blocks 2. Refer to the position of the hob cutter holders on side blocks 2 and machine the side blocks 2 to complete the assembly between the side blocks 2 and between the side blocks 2 and the cutter head middle block. Refer to the position of the hob cutter holders on side blocks 2 to ensure more precise assembly between the side blocks 2 and between the side blocks 2 and the middle block.

[0056] Here, by adopting the above-mentioned assembly method and using the auxiliary assembly device 1 for positioning once, the cutter heads on at least two blocks can be assembled and riveted at the same time, avoiding positioning deviation caused by multiple alignment of the reference, and reducing the adjustment time of the block lifting and the tooling 3; since the positioning process of the cutter head does not use the intermediate block, it does not affect the subsequent machining time of the intermediate block; the operation is simple and the construction period is shortened; the cutter head assembly process is simplified, and the efficiency of the cutter head riveting and assembly is greatly improved; the positioning accuracy of the cutter head is reliable, and the quality of the TBM cutter head is guaranteed at the same time.

[0057] This embodiment provides a method for assembling a segmented cutterhead. In step S1, two side blocks 2 at opposite positions are adjusted to a flatness of ≤5 mm with the excavation surface facing upwards, with the excavation panel as a reference.

[0058] This embodiment provides a method for assembling a segmented cutter head. In step S2, before the cutter template 4 is installed on the cutter mounting tool 3, the cutter mounting tool 3 is adjusted to a horizontal state.

[0059] This embodiment provides a method for assembling a segmented cutter disc. In step S3, the specific process of adjusting the position of the tool template 4 and the edge block 2 is to adjust the flatness of the tool template 4 to ≤1mm and to adjust the tool template 4 to cover the entire edge block 2 along the radial direction of the cutter disc.
