Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of slurry shield model test, and in particular relates to a slurry shield tunneling device and method suitable for super gravity simulation. Background Art
[0002] As a commonly used excavation equipment in cross-sea and cross-river tunnel projects, the slurry shield uses mud pressure to press the mud out of the shield body and form a mud film in the stratum in front of the excavation face, so that the mud pressure acts on the mud film in the form of surface force and reaches a balance with the soil and water pressure of the stratum in front, preventing the collapse of the excavation face. As the slurry shield continues to advance forward, the stratum in front of the excavation face and the formed mud film are continuously cut by the cutter on the cutter head, and at the same time, the mud will penetrate into the stratum to form a new mud film. Different shield cutter head speeds, advancement speeds, mud pressures and stratum types will change the formation process of the mud film, and then affect the stability of the excavation face and the settlement and deformation of the soil around the shield during the excavation process. Therefore, how to determine the excavation parameters (i.e., cutter head speed, advancement speed, mud pressure, etc.) of the slurry shield under deep burial and high water pressure conditions, and then control the stability of the excavation face and soil disturbance is an urgent problem to be solved. At present, most of the model devices of slurry shield can only be used under normal gravity (i.e., 1g conditions). For example, the slurry shield excavation test device proposed in CN117782656A can only simulate the shield excavation process under normal gravity, and cannot restore the soil and water stress levels in actual projects, resulting in the shield excavation process, support pressure, and soil response obtained in the test being inconsistent with the actual situation. The ultra-gravity centrifugal simulation technology has a scale effect and can effectively restore the stress level of the soil at a certain buried depth in the actual project. Existing studies have proposed to carry out mud infiltration tests under ultra-gravity, such as the three-dimensional dynamic mud penetration test device under ultra-gravity proposed in CN116297105B, which can restore the stress level of the actual soil and inject mud into the soil layer to explore the formation law of mud film. However, the existing devices cannot simulate the actual shield's cutterhead cutting, forward advancement, mud pressure, and inlet and outlet flow control under ultra-gravity. In addition, mud is mainly composed of a certain mass of bentonite and water. Under supergravity conditions, due to the different densities of water and soil, the mud will segregate (that is, water and bentonite particles will separate), resulting in uneven mud density, and thus unable to simulate mud film formation and actual mud penetration laws.

[0015] 2. A slurry shield tunneling method suitable for super gravity simulation, comprising the following steps:
[0016] Step 1: Under normal gravity conditions, remove the soil box from the base, seal the openings on the side walls of the soil box with aluminum plates, and then prepare soil samples in layers in the soil box and bury sensors in the soil samples;
[0017] Step 2: Use a saturation box to saturate the soil sample in the soil box. When the soil sample is saturated, use a crane to lift the soil box as a whole to the base and fix it. Then lift the installed shield tunneling module into the second basket of the geotechnical centrifuge and fix it. Connect the sensor, torque sensor, propulsion cylinder and mud pump in the soil sample to the remote control system.
[0018] Step 3: Prepare mud with a preset ratio of bentonite and water, then inject the mud into the mud water tank, push the shield and the cutter head into the hole of the soil box, close the mud discharge pipe, and continue to inject mud into the working cabin through the mud pump. When the mud water tank is full of mud and the liquid level in the air cushion cabin reaches 2 / 3 of the cabin shell diameter, proceed to step 4;
[0019] Step 4: Continue to inject mud. When mud seeps out of the overflow pipe, close the solenoid valve 1, and then open the pressure-maintaining system to adjust the air pressure in the air cushion cabin so that the overall mud pressure is higher than the lateral water and soil pressure of the soil sample. Then remove the aluminum plate sealed at the hole of the soil box to allow the pressurized mud to penetrate into the soil sample and form a mud film in the soil layer in front.
[0020] Step 5: Start the geotechnical centrifuge, control the shield to cut forward, and obtain the soil response law during the shield excavation process based on the sensors in the soil box;
[0021] Step 6: When the shield reaches the preset excavation distance, stop excavation, close the slurry inlet and outlet pipelines, control the air pressure in the air cushion cabin to gradually decrease or increase, and realize active or passive destruction of the shield excavation surface. At the same time, according to the changes in soil and water pressure in the soil ahead and the mud pressure in the mud water cabin, determine the limit support pressure, and then obtain the stability law of the slurry balance shield excavation surface.
[0022] The specific steps of step 5 are as follows:
[0023] Step 5.1: Start the geotechnical centrifuge. When the centrifugal acceleration Ng increases, close the electromagnetic valve 2 and the electromagnetic valve 3 on the slurry inlet pipe (28, 29) and the electromagnetic valve 5 on the slurry discharge pipeline, control the pressure-maintaining system to feed air into the air cushion cabin, so that the mud fills the mud water tank, and the mud pressure in the mud water tank is equal to the lateral pressure of the soil and water outside the cutter disc; turn on the mud pump and the electromagnetic valve 4, so that the mud circulates in the bypass pipe to prevent segregation and precipitation, and at the same time turn on the stirring motor in the mud water tank so that the stirring rod stirs the mud to prevent the mud from segregating;
[0024] Step 5.2: When the centrifugal acceleration of the geotechnical centrifuge reaches the preset Ng and lasts for the preset time, the solenoid valve 4 is closed, the pressure-maintaining system controls the air pressure in the air cushion cabin to remain unchanged, and the solenoid valve 2 of the slurry inlet pipeline and the solenoid valve 5 of the slurry discharge pipeline are opened; at the same time, the switching valve group is started according to the preset damping, and the mud and slag will be driven by the pressure difference between the mud and water cabin and the slag box, and transported to the separation box through the spiral blades in the slurry discharge pipe, and then the slag particles are separated and filtered through the separation box, and then enter the slag box;
[0025] Step 5.3: According to the preset excavation speed, cutter head speed and slurry flow rate, the remote control system is used to control the propulsion cylinder and mud pump so that the shield body cuts forward and advances. The soil response law during the shield excavation process is obtained based on the sensors installed in the soil box.
[0026] The technical solution principle of the present invention is as follows:
[0027] For prototype soil sample: σ=ρgh
[0028] For a 1 / N times scaled model: σ 1 =ρ·g·h / N
[0029] For a 1 / N times scaled model under N times hypergravity: σ 2 =ρ·Ng·h / N=ρgh
[0030] Among them, σ represents the stress of the prototype soil sample, ρ represents the natural density of the soil, g represents the gravitational acceleration, h represents the depth of the formation, and σ 1 represents the stress of the 1 / N-fold scale model, σ 2 It represents the stress of 1 / N times scaled model under N times hypergravity, where N represents the ratio of centrifugal acceleration of geotechnical centrifuge to gravitational acceleration;
[0031] It is easy to see that σ=σ 2 , that is, the stress level of the prototype soil sample is equal to that of the 1 / N times scaled model under N times hypergravity, that is, the stress field of the prototype can be replicated under hypergravity, thereby greatly improving the similarity of the slurry shield tunneling test.
[0032] The above design can restore the stress level of the actual soil and simulate the excavation process of the actual slurry shield. Through the excavation parameters, slurry pressure and soil response law during the excavation process, the excavation process of the shield under complex geological conditions such as homogeneous sand, consolidated soft clay, confined water layer, gas-bearing layer and the instability disaster of the shield excavation face can be studied, and the shield shutdown pneumatic support working condition can also be restored. At the same time, it provides an experimental basis for studying the interaction between water, soil and tunneling machine under high water pressure and high ground stress conditions, safety control theory, and the influence law and control technology of shield excavation on stratum disturbance under high water pressure and high ground stress conditions.
[0033] In the slurry shield excavation device, the variable frequency motor drives the main shaft and the cutterhead to rotate; the oil cylinder applies thrust to the power box, and through the guide rail, the power box drives the main shaft and the shield body to advance into the soil box. The front partition divides the shield into a slurry tank and an air cushion tank. The mud pump transports the mud to the slurry tank, and the mud and slag are transported to the slag box through the screw machine and the damping pipe under the pressure difference between the mud and water tank and the slag box. The pressure holding system is connected to the air cushion tank, and the air is introduced into and exhausted from the air cushion tank to regulate the mud pressure. The hydraulic system is connected to the mud pump and the oil cylinder to regulate the slurry flow rate, propulsion force and speed. The loading and control system controls the cutterhead speed, shield thrust and speed, slurry flow rate and air pressure of the air cushion tank in real time. The present invention can restore the stress level of the actual soil and simulate the excavation process of the actual slurry shield. Through the excavation parameters, mud pressure and soil response law during the excavation process, it provides a theoretical basis for the construction of deep buried and cross-sea tunnels.
[0034] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0035] 1. The present invention utilizes the hypergravity environment to restore the actual stress level of the soil. Through the shield tunneling module, it can simulate the actual shield cutter cutting, forward tunneling, the size and distribution of the slurry pressure in the shield body, and the control of the slurry inlet and outlet flow.
[0036] 2. The present invention can prevent the mud from being separated and precipitated in the shield body in a hypergravity environment and simulate the mud film formation process in an actual shield by arranging a stirring motor and a stirring rod in the mud water tank and a mud stirring rod on the back of the cutter head.
[0037] 3. The present invention can transport the cut debris and the mud in the mud and water tank to the separation box by arranging a screw conveyor and blades in the slurry discharge pipeline; the large debris particles can be filtered through the separator and filter screen in the separation box to prevent the damping valve group from being blocked; through the damping valve group, the mud can be driven by the pressure difference between the mud and water tank and the debris box and transported to the debris box at the required slurry discharge flow rate, thereby realizing the slurry discharge flow control of the device.
[0038] 4. The present invention utilizes the similarity of the hypergravity test. The slurry shield device designed by the present invention can simulate the slurry shield excavation process in actual engineering projects, obtain the soil disturbance mechanism during the excavation process, the active / passive instability and failure mechanism of the excavation face, and the ultimate support pressure, and provide a theoretical basis for deep underground and cross-sea tunnel excavation projects.

[0072] Preparation stage:
[0073] S1: Power on and self-check each component in the device without starting any moving components, check the initial state of each sensor and the video signal in the mud and water tank 13; then perform a no-load operation check on the device: use the variable frequency motor 4 to slowly rotate the cutter head 12, extend and push the power box 11 about 10 mm, and then the external electronic control system rotates the shaftless screw 16 in the slurry discharge pipe 39 to check whether the movement state of the above-mentioned moving components and the numerical display of each parameter of the electronic control system console are abnormal, mainly including the gas pressure and mud level monitoring equipment in the air cushion cabin 15, the mud pressure and mud level monitoring equipment in the mud and water tank 13, and the electromagnetic flowmeter 22 of the slurry inlet and discharge system. If an abnormality occurs, suspend the test, overhaul it in time, and restart the test after the overhaul is completed;
[0074] S2: Then, according to the actual shield parameters required for simulation in the test, such as the excavation speed, the rotation speed of the cutterhead, and the foundation soil and water pressure, the target g value required to be achieved by the device, the lateral pressure of the foundation soil and water, the excavation speed, the rotation speed of the cutterhead, the air pressure of the air cushion cabin 15, the mud pressure of the mud and water cabin 13, and the excavation distance are determined; according to the ratio of the slag volume cut into the mud and water cabin 13 to the slurry volume per unit time of 1:11.7, the slurry flow rate during the excavation process of the device is determined in combination with the excavation speed and the excavation distance; according to the slurry flow rate and the slag flow rate, the slurry discharge flow rate during the excavation process of the device is determined; according to the slurry pressure of the mud and water cabin 13 and the slurry discharge flow rate during the excavation process of the device, the damping 1 37 and the damping 2 38 are set;
[0075] Trial phase:
[0076] Step 1: Under normal gravity conditions, the soil box 1 is removed from the base 2, and the hole on the side wall of the soil box 1 is sealed with an aluminum plate 59, and then a soil sample is prepared in layers in the soil box 1 and a sensor is buried in the soil sample. A wire brush is used to perform a 2 mm polishing treatment on the top of the foundation soil. The sensors buried in the soil sample include a bending element sensor, a micro soil pressure gauge, a micro pore pressure sensor, a TDR sensor, a fiber Bragg grating displacement sensor, an air pressure sensor, etc.;
[0077] Step 2: The soil sample in the soil box 1 is saturated by using a saturation box in a vacuum manner. When the soil sample is saturated, the soil box 1 is hoisted onto the base 2 as a whole by a crane and fixed, and the installed shield tunneling module is hoisted into the second hanging basket 46 of the geotechnical centrifuge 42 and fixed, and the sensor, torque sensor 18, propulsion cylinder 19 and mud pump 5 in the soil sample are all connected to the remote control system 47;
[0078] Step 3: Prepare mud according to a preset ratio of bentonite and water, and then inject the mud into the mud and water tank 3, push the shield 10 and the cutter head 12 into the hole of the soil box 1, close the slurry discharge pipe 39, and continuously inject the mud into the working cabin through the mud pump 5, the slurry inlet pipe 1 28 and the slurry inlet pipe 2 29. When the mud and water tank 13 is full of mud and the liquid level in the air cushion cabin 15 reaches 2 / 3 of the cabin shell diameter, proceed to step 4; specifically, the ratio of water, bentonite and CMC in the test scheme is 1000:600:1.
[0079] Step 4: Continue to inject mud. When mud seeps out of the overflow pipe 25, close the solenoid valve 26, and then open the pressure-maintaining system 24 to adjust the air pressure in the air cushion cabin 15, so that the overall mud pressure is slightly higher than the lateral water and soil pressure of the soil sample (i.e., the lateral soil and water pressure outside the cutter head), and then remove the aluminum plate 59 sealed at the hole of the soil box 1, so that the pressurized mud penetrates into the soil sample and forms a mud film in the front soil layer;
[0080] Step 5: Start the geotechnical centrifuge 42, control the shield 10 to cut forward, and obtain the soil response law during the shield excavation process according to the sensor in the soil box 1;
[0081] Step 6: When the shield body 10 reaches the preset excavation distance, stop excavation, close the slurry inlet and outlet pipelines, and control the air pressure in the air cushion cabin 15 to gradually decrease or increase, so as to realize active or passive destruction of the shield excavation surface.

[0082] Specifically, step 5 is as follows:
[0083] Step 5.1: Start the geotechnical centrifuge 42. During the process of increasing the centrifugal acceleration Ng, the lateral pressure of the soil and water outside the cutter disc 12 will gradually increase with the increase of the centrifugal acceleration Ng value. Close the solenoid valve 2 30 and the solenoid valve 3 31 on the slurry inlet pipes 28 and 29 and the solenoid valve 5 34 of the slurry discharge pipeline, and control the pressure-maintaining system 24 to inlet air into the air cushion cabin 15, so that the mud fills the mud and water tank 13, and the mud pressure in the mud and water tank 13 is equal to the lateral pressure of the soil and water outside the cutter disc 12; keep the cutter disc 13 idling, so that the stirring rod on the back of the cutter disc 13 forms a stirring effect on the mud, and prevents the mud in the mud and water tank 13 from segregating during the process of increasing g; turn on the mud pump 5 and the solenoid valve 4 32, so that the mud circulates in the bypass pipe 33 to prevent segregation and precipitation, and at the same time turn on the stirring motor 76 in the mud and water tank 3, so that the stirring rod 65 stirs the mud to prevent the mud from segregating;
[0084] Step 5.2: When the centrifugal acceleration of the geotechnical centrifuge 42 reaches the preset Ng and lasts for the preset time, the solenoid valve 4 32 is closed, the pressure-maintaining system 24 controls the air pressure in the air cushion cabin 15 to remain unchanged, and the solenoid valve 2 30 of the slurry inlet pipeline and the solenoid valve 5 34 of the slurry discharge pipeline are opened; at the same time, the solenoid valve 6 35 or the solenoid valve 7 36 is opened according to the preset damping start switching valve group 23, and the mud and slag will be driven by the pressure difference between the mud and water cabin 13 and the slag box 7, and transported to the separation box 9 through the spiral blade 58 in the slurry discharge pipe 39, and then the slag particles are separated and filtered by the separation box 9, and then enter the slag box 7;
[0085] Step 5.3: According to the preset excavation speed, cutter head speed and slurry flow rate, the screw drive motor, propulsion cylinder 19 and mud pump 5 are regulated by the remote control system 47, so that the shield body 10 cuts forward and propels forward, and the soil response law during the shield excavation process is obtained according to the sensors set in the soil box 1.
