Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of tunnel lining technology, and in particular to a tunnel segment longitudinal joint component installation device, a tunneling machine, and a tunnel segment longitudinal joint component installation method. Background Technology
[0002] Segment lining is a crucial step in tunnel boring machine (TBM) construction. Currently, most longitudinal joints of the segments are bolted, requiring manual installation and tightening of bolts, which is labor-intensive, inefficient, and impacts construction progress. The installation of segment connection structures and components has become a significant factor restricting the realization of rapid segment assembly and automated construction.
[0003] In recent years, with technological advancements, research on novel segment connection structures has emerged. For example, application number 202210380907.X describes a multi-point connection structure for longitudinal joints of shield tunnel segments without handholes. This structure includes a first shield segment, a second shield segment, a first C-shaped component, a second C-shaped component, and a connecting assembly for connecting the first and second shield segments. The first and second shield segments are connected circumferentially along the tunnel. The first C-shaped component is embedded within the first shield segment, and the second C-shaped component is embedded within the second shield segment. The first C-shaped component has a first connecting groove extending longitudinally along the tunnel, and the second C-shaped component has a second connecting groove extending longitudinally along the tunnel. The connecting assembly extends longitudinally along the tunnel, with one end of the connecting assembly extending into the first connecting groove and the other end extending into the second connecting groove.
[0004] While the aforementioned technical solutions can achieve boltless connection of longitudinal joints in tunnel segments, their components are complex and installation is difficult. Often, after all segments are assembled, installation and jacking are carried out manually using scaffolding. This results in poor positioning accuracy, high safety risks, and low installation efficiency, and is currently not mature enough for tunnel segment lining. Therefore, it is necessary to design a method, device, and tunnel boring machine for installing longitudinal joint components in tunnel segments.
[0005] It should be noted that the above technical information is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background technology of the present invention, and should not be regarded as an admission or in any way implying that the above technical information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0062] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, they should be considered part of the specification.
[0063] A segment longitudinal joint component installation device, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the device includes a multi-degree-of-freedom (DOF) manipulator, which is equipped with a propulsion mechanism for gripping and pushing the longitudinal seam component 6 of the tunnel segment. Preferably, the multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator includes five degrees of freedom: rotation along the tunnel axis, rotation relative to the tunnel radial axis, extension / retraction relative to the tunnel radial direction, pitch relative to the tunnel radial surface, and extension / retraction along the propulsion direction of the propulsion mechanism. The movement of each degree of freedom is achieved through an automatic drive mechanism, without limiting the connection sequence and method between the motion mechanisms controlling each degree of freedom. In addition to the above-mentioned implementation with five degrees of freedom, the multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator can also be implemented with fewer or more degrees of freedom.
[0064] Based on the above-described embodiments, in a preferred embodiment of the segment longitudinal joint component installation device, the propulsion mechanism is sequentially connected to a pitching mechanism, a lifting mechanism, a second slewing mechanism, and a first slewing mechanism. In this embodiment, the propulsion mechanism, pitching mechanism, lifting mechanism, second slewing mechanism, and first slewing mechanism respectively realize the degrees of freedom described in the above embodiments. The first slewing mechanism can realize the degree of freedom of rotation along the tunnel axis, the second slewing mechanism can realize the degree of freedom of rotation relative to the tunnel radial axis, the lifting mechanism can realize the degree of freedom of extension and retraction relative to the tunnel radial direction, the pitching mechanism can realize the degree of freedom of pitch relative to the tunnel radial surface, and the propulsion mechanism can realize the degree of freedom of extension and retraction along the propulsion direction.
[0065] Meanwhile, this embodiment provides the connection relationship of the mechanisms that realize each degree of freedom, namely, the first slewing mechanism, the second slewing mechanism, the lifting mechanism, the pitching mechanism, and the propulsion mechanism are connected in sequence. The first slewing mechanism can drive the second slewing mechanism, the lifting mechanism, the pitching mechanism, and the propulsion mechanism to rotate synchronously along the tunnel axis. The second slewing mechanism can drive the lifting mechanism, the pitching mechanism, and the propulsion mechanism to rotate synchronously relative to the tunnel radial axis. The lifting mechanism can drive the pitching mechanism and the propulsion mechanism to extend and retract synchronously relative to the tunnel radial direction. The pitching mechanism can drive the propulsion mechanism to pitch relative to the tunnel radial surface.
[0066] Based on the above embodiments, as a preferred embodiment of the segment longitudinal seam component installation device, the first rotary mechanism includes a first fixed member and a first rotating member that are connected by transmission, and the second rotary mechanism includes a second fixed member and a second rotating member that are connected by rotation, wherein the first rotating member is connected to the second fixed member.
[0067] In this embodiment, the first fixing member, the first rotating member, the second fixing member, and the second rotating member all have various structural forms. For example, the first fixing member can be a large gear ring, and the first rotating member can be a pinion moving seat meshing with the large gear ring. The pinion moving seat has its own driving component, which drives the pinion to move along the large gear ring. Alternatively, the first fixing member can be a chain-type fixing frame or a belt-type fixing frame, and the first rotating member can be a moving component connected to a transmission belt or transmission chain. Or, the first fixing member can be a rotary driving component with a pinion, and the first rotating member can be a large gear ring driven by the pinion of the rotary driving component. Similarly, the second fixing member and the second rotating member can also have the same or similar implementation as the above-described embodiments. Of course, other structural forms can also be adopted.
[0068] In addition, when the first rotating member rotates relative to the first fixed member and when the second rotating member rotates relative to the second fixed member, it is preferable to provide a corresponding limiting structure between the two components of the rotating pair so that they can only rotate relative to each other and no other relative movements occur.
[0069] Based on the above embodiments, as a preferred embodiment of the segment longitudinal seam component installation device, the pitching mechanism and the lifting mechanism are integrated linkage mechanisms. The integrated linkage mechanism includes a first linear drive member and a rod hinged between the second rotating member and the propulsion mechanism, and the second linear drive member is hinged between the rod and the propulsion mechanism.
[0070] This embodiment, by using an integrated linkage mechanism, not only simplifies the structure and reduces the overall weight and space occupied by the device, but also allows for pitch motion to be achieved by controlling the extension and retraction of both the first and second linear drive components. When the first and second linear drive components extend and retract synchronously, lifting motion is achieved. Of course, besides using the integrated linkage mechanism for both pitch and lifting, a split structure design can be used to independently achieve lifting and pitch motions. Other linkage mechanism designs can also be used to simultaneously achieve pitch and lifting motions.
[0071] Based on the above embodiments, as a preferred embodiment of the segment longitudinal seam component installation device, one end of the first linear drive member and one end of the rod member are respectively hinged to both sides of the second rotating member, and the other end of the first linear drive member and the other end of the rod member are both hinged to the same side of the propulsion mechanism.
[0072] Based on the above-described embodiments, a preferred embodiment of the segment longitudinal joint component installation device is as follows: Figures 7 to 10 As shown, the propulsion mechanism includes a base connected to a pitching mechanism and / or a lifting mechanism. The base is slidably connected to the propulsion beam 4-501 via a third linear drive member. The propulsion beam 4-501 is provided with an electric lead screw and a first clamp 4-513 located at the end. The electric lead screw is connected to a second clamp 4-514 that corresponds axially to the first clamp 4-513 and slides along the propulsion beam 4-501.
[0073] In this embodiment, when the third linear drive unit is extended or retracted, the push beam 4-501 can move linearly relative to the base. When the electric lead screw is rotated, the second clamp 4-514 can move linearly along the push beam 4-501, thereby changing the distance between it and the first clamp 4-513. The linear movement of the second clamp 4-514 along the push beam 4-501, in conjunction with the clamping and releasing of the first clamp 4-513 and the second clamp 4-514, enables the pushing of the longitudinal seam component 6 of the tunnel segment.
[0074] Based on the above embodiments, as a preferred embodiment of the segment longitudinal seam component installation device, the second clamp 4-514 includes a fourth linear drive member and / or a fifth linear drive member arranged opposite to each other, and the telescopic ends of the fourth linear drive member and / or the telescopic ends of the fifth linear drive member are respectively vertically connected to guide rods that are opposite to each other and face the first clamp 4-513.
[0075] The second clamp 4-514 clamps and releases the longitudinal seam component 6 of the tunnel segment by extending and retracting the linear drive member. Similarly, the first clamp 4-513 also clamps and releases the longitudinal seam component 6 of the tunnel segment by extending and retracting the linear drive member. The second clamp 4-514 includes a sixth linear drive member and / or a seventh linear drive member arranged opposite to each other. That is, both the first clamp 4-513 and the second clamp 4-514 can use one linear drive member or two linear drive members.
[0076] Based on the above-described embodiments, a preferred embodiment of the segment longitudinal joint component installation device is as follows: Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, the lifting mechanism includes an inner core and an outer kit that are plugged into each other, and an eighth linear drive is provided between the inner core and the outer kit. The second rotation mechanism includes a joint bearing 7-409 provided between the outer kit and the propulsion mechanism, and a ninth linear drive is laterally hinged between the outer kit and the propulsion mechanism. The pitching mechanism includes a tenth linear drive that is longitudinally hinged between the outer kit and the propulsion mechanism.
[0077] In this embodiment, controlling the extension and retraction of the eighth linear drive component drives the inner core component and the outer sleeve to move axially relative to each other, thereby achieving lifting and lowering motion; controlling the extension and retraction of the ninth linear drive component drives the pushing mechanism to rotate relative to the outer sleeve; controlling the tenth linear drive component drives the pushing mechanism to pitch relative to the outer sleeve. The positions of the outer sleeve and the inner core component can be interchanged; that is, when the inner core component acts as a fixed component, the outer sleeve acts as an actuating component, and when the inner core component acts as an actuating component, the outer sleeve acts as a fixed component. Correspondingly, the structure is adaptively adjusted to match the ninth and tenth linear drive components.
[0078] Based on the above-described embodiments, in a preferred embodiment of the segment longitudinal seam component installation device, the pushing mechanism includes a housing connected to a pitching mechanism. A through channel is provided on the housing, and a row of rolling shafts 7-505 for pushing the segment longitudinal seam component 6 is arranged within the channel. The rolling shafts 7-505 rotate via a first rotary drive component. When the first rotary drive component drives the rolling shafts 7-505 to rotate, the segment longitudinal seam component 6 can be pushed out of the channel under the action of friction. Conversely, when picking up the segment longitudinal seam component 6, the rolling shafts 7-505 can reverse to draw the segment longitudinal seam component 6 into the channel.
[0079] Based on the above-described embodiments, a preferred embodiment of the segment longitudinal joint component installation device is as follows: Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the first fixing member is a track 4-1, and a toothed belt formed by a plurality of guide wheels 4-11 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the track 4-1. The first rotating member includes a wheel set that rolls with the inner and outer circumferential surfaces of the track 4-1 respectively, and a second rotary drive member that meshes with the toothed belt.

The shield body 1 is connected to the segment longitudinal joint component installation device described in any of the above embodiments.
[0082] As a preferred embodiment of the tunneling machine, such as Figures 1 to 10 As shown, it specifically includes the following structure:
[0083] Shield body 1: supports propulsion cylinder 2, segment assembly machine 3, and first robotic arm 4.
[0084] Propulsion cylinder 2: It is installed inside the shield body 1, with one end connected to the shield body 1 and the other end extending out to contact the tunnel segment 5, providing the reaction force for the tunnel boring machine to excavate.
[0085] Segment assembly machine 3: Set and fixed inside the shield body 1, it realizes the installation and positioning of tunnel segments 5 through rotation, translation, extension, pitching and swinging.
[0086] First robotic arm 4: Set and fixed inside the shield body 1, it achieves the positioning of the longitudinal joint component 6 of the tunnel segment by rotating along the tunnel axis, translating along the tunnel axis, lifting along the tunnel radial surface, pitching along the tunnel radial surface, and rotating along the tunnel radial axis. The longitudinal joint component 6 of the tunnel segment is installed by the sequential action of the propulsion beam, the first clamp and the second clamp.
[0087] Tunnel segment 5: includes several segment blocks 5-i (i=1~n), on which grooves 5-0 are provided for installing segment longitudinal joint components 6, the grooves 5-0 extending along the longitudinal joint of the segment.
[0088] The segment longitudinal joint component 6 comprises several constituent units, which are installed in the groove 5-0 on the tunnel segment 5. The cross-sectional shape matches the groove 5-0 and is polygonal or circular, and the length direction extends along the longitudinal joint of the segment.
[0089] The first robotic arm 4 includes a track 4-1, on which there are several guide wheels 4-11. The guide wheels 4-11 can rotate around their axis. The several guide wheels 4-11 are evenly distributed around the track 4-1 and can mesh with the pinion 4-25 to support the rotating parts and enable them to rotate around the tunnel axis.
[0090] The rotating component includes a first roller group 4-21, a second roller group 4-22, a third roller group 4-23, a first motor 4-24, and a pinion 4-25, and is equipped with a rotary mechanism 4-3. The first roller group 4-21 contacts the upper surface of the track 4-1 and can move relative to it; the second roller group 4-22 contacts the lower surface of the track 4-1 and can move relative to it; the third roller group 4-23 contacts the side of the track and can move relative to it; the output end of the first motor 4-24 is connected to the pinion 4-25; and the first roller group 4-21, the second roller group 4-22, the third roller group 4-23, and the first motor 4-24 are all fixed to the rotating component.
[0091] The slewing mechanism 4-3 includes an inner ring and an outer ring, which can rotate relative to each other. The inner ring is connected to the lifting mechanism, and the outer ring is connected to the rotating component.
[0092] The lifting mechanism, mounted on the slewing mechanism, includes a first base 4-41, a lifting arm 4-42, a second base 4-43, a hydraulic cylinder 1 4-44, and a hydraulic cylinder 2 4-45. The first base 4-41 has two hinge structures at its left and right ends. The lifting arm 4-42 has three hinge structures at its left and right ends and between its two ends. The second base 4-43 has two hinge structures at its left and right ends. The left end of the first base 4-41 is hinged to the left end of the lifting arm 4-42, and the right end of the lifting arm 4-42 is hinged to the second base 4-43.
[0093] Meanwhile, a hydraulic cylinder 4-44 is installed between the first base 4-41 and the second base 4-43, and a hydraulic cylinder 4-45 is installed between the lifting arm 4-42 and the base 4-42. One end of the hydraulic cylinder 4-44 is mounted on the hinge structure of the first base 4-41, and the other end is mounted on the hinge structure between the right end of the lifting arm 4-42 and the second base 4-43. One end of the hydraulic cylinder 4-45 is mounted on the hinge structure in the middle of the two ends of the lifting arm, and the other end is mounted on the hinge structure at the left end of the second base 4-43. When the hydraulic cylinders 4-44 and 4-45 extend and retract, the distance between the hinge points can be increased or decreased, realizing the lifting and lowering of the lifting mechanism, and can also drive the second base 4-43 to pitch in the thrust direction.

[0117] The five degrees of freedom of the second robotic arm 7 are implemented as follows:
[0118] Rotating along the tunnel axis: The third motor 7-31 in the drive device 7-3 drives the pinion 7-32 to rotate.

[0122] Telescopic movement along the direction of propulsion: The fourth motor 7-509 of the second propulsion mechanism 7-5 drives the rolling shaft 7-505 to rotate through the coupling 7-508. The rolling shaft 7-505 is in contact with the longitudinal joint component 6 of the tunnel segment, and when the rolling shaft 7-505 rotates, the friction force drives the longitudinal joint component 6 of the tunnel segment to move along the tunnel axis.
