Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of open rock tunnel boring machines and relates to a shield structure of a shield machine and a supporting method thereof. Background Art

[0002] During the construction of an open rock tunnel boring machine (TBM), the L1 area (the tail of the shield) tunnel shotcrete support usually uses a concrete shotcrete machine to spray directly onto the rock wall through manual or manipulators to seal the surrounding rock in time, and spray in layers and in batches to the designed thickness. However, this technology currently has problems such as high concentration of spray-mixed dust, poor working environment, high rebound rate, untimely support, and pollution of the main machine area equipment, and it cannot achieve the timely support purpose of implementing spray-mixed support after excavation.

[0003] In order to give full play to the construction performance of open rock tunnel boring machines, improve their advance spraying and mixing support efficiency, enhance the timeliness of advance spraying and mixing support, and improve the working environment, it is of great significance to carry out research and application of shield support structures. As early as 1993, during the concrete lining construction of the Jiulishan water diversion tunnel of the Beijing-Miyun water diversion project, the Beijing Water Conservancy Engineering Office and Tsinghua University developed a set of traveling tunnel sliding templates, which achieved initial success. China Hydropower Corporation used this as a prototype and combined with the continuous innovation and development of sliding form technology to apply for the patent "Circumferential Sliding Formwork for Concrete Lining of Full-Circular Tunnel". This technology is mainly used for full-circular tunnels, using track walking mode, the sliding membrane and the gantry structure share the track, and the support operation is realized through the sliding membrane circular track and the template system. At the same time, the patent "Tunnel Shotcrete Support Technology" applied by China Hydropower Corporation uses a steel support structure and a template for spraying concrete forming to form a support system, which improves the working environment, reduces the rebound force, and improves the work efficiency.

[0004] Open TBMs have always had the significant disadvantage of mismatching excavation speed with support efficiency and support timeliness. When encountering weak, broken, and severely falling geology, there is an urgent need for a timely concrete support technology that can effectively solve the problems of traditional shotcrete support, high concentration of sprayed concrete dust, harsh working environment, high rebound rate, pollution of host area equipment, and high construction safety risks.

[0005] As an important support method in open TBM models, the L1 area advance spraying system plays a role in geological reinforcement during the excavation process. The most widely used tunnel shotcrete support is the direct spraying concrete support operation method, which is located at the tail of the shield. This method has problems such as high concentration of spraying dust, poor working environment, high rebound rate, low work efficiency, and pollution of the main equipment area. It cannot meet the construction requirements of timely spraying support after excavation, which seriously affects the excavation efficiency of the equipment. Therefore, in view of the shortcomings of the L1 area advance spraying system of the open TBM model, it is particularly important to study and develop a shield support structure technology that can effectively improve the problems brought by traditional shotcrete operations, such as high dust concentration, poor working environment, poor support effect, untimely support, and high construction safety risks.
