Description

[0002] The shield machine is a tunnel boring machine using the shield method, which mainly excavates the soil layer through the rotating cutterhead at the front end. When the shield machine is in operation, a layer of dense mud film is formed by the mixture of water and sticky substances in the soil when the soil has high water content and strong viscosity. The mud film will adhere to the cutterhead of the shield machine and gradually accumulate and thicken to form a mud cake, which will greatly reduce the cutting efficiency of the cutterhead and hinder the normal operation of the shield construction.

[0003] At present, the cleaning method for the mud cake is generally to flush the mud cake through the flushing system nozzle arranged on the surface of the cutterhead. However, for some mud cakes that are firmly attached, the flushing system cannot clean the mud cake completely, and then the mud cake is processed by artificial pressure into the warehouse. Moreover, when the shield cutterhead rotates to cut the soil, a lot of rock and soil debris will be generated, which will easily block the flushing system nozzle.

[0016] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a shield tunneling machine cutterhead mud cake cleaning device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. The shield tunneling machine cutterhead mud cake cleaning device works by using the first gear to roll along the outer teeth of the gear ring when the cutterhead rotates during excavation. This causes the rotating column to rotate and squeeze the inner wall of the chute, resulting in the shuttle plate swinging back and forth around the shaft. This, in turn, causes the scraper to scrape away the mud cake adhering to the cutterhead surface. At the same time, the rotating shell driven by high-pressure water further washes the cutterhead surface. This allows for simultaneous cleaning while the shield tunneling machine is working, preventing long-term accumulation of mud cake and eliminating the need for manual pressurized entry for cleaning, thus reducing safety hazards.

[0019] 2. The shield machine cutterhead mud cake cleaning device drives the sector gear to deflect back and forth via the shaft, which in turn drives the rack plate to slide back and forth along the slide rail. This, in turn, drives the slide bar to move back and forth synchronously via the connecting rod. As a result, the impact heads at both ends strike the inner wall of the cutterhead back and forth, knocking off the mud cake adhering to the cutterhead surface. At the same time, the compression spring, compressed by the baffle, accumulates elastic potential energy. After the slider is squeezed into the side frame, the compressed spring releases the elastic potential energy instantaneously, increasing the impact force of the impact head. This improves the vibration intensity of the cutterhead and enhances the vibration cleaning effect on the mud cake.

[0020] 3. The shield machine cutterhead mud cake cleaning device, when the second gear rolls along the other side of the gear ring, will drive the rotating drum to rotate, and because the insertion rod is limited by the limiting column, the insertion rod will rotate synchronously with the rotating drum, and the upper cutter holder and the lower cutter holder will rotate while revolving, so the upper three-pronged cutter and the lower three-pronged cutter will stir and crush the slag and debris in the soil cavity, and because the limiting column slides along the track of the track groove, the insertion rod will slide up and down while rotating, so the lower cutter holder will approach the upper cutter holder, and the rock and soil debris can be crushed, so that the slag and debris can be discharged.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 8-10The mixing and pulverizing component 9 includes a fixed cylinder 91 fixedly installed inside the end of a fixed plate, and the fixed cylinder 91 is in the shape of an "I". A rotating cylinder 92 is rotatably connected inside the fixed cylinder 91. A second gear 93 is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating cylinder 92. The second gear 93 is engaged with the gear ring 5 on the other side. A plug rod 94 is slidably inserted inside the rotating cylinder 92. An upper blade holder 95 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the rotating cylinder 92. An upper triangular blade 96 is fixedly arranged on the outer side of the upper blade holder 95.
