Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of intelligent manufacturing technology, and specifically relates to an in-situ 3D printing secondary lining and propulsion device based on a main beam TBM. Background Art

[0002] In order to efficiently build tunnels that can withstand long-term loads and external forces such as earthquake shocks, tunnel boring machines (TBMs) are gradually becoming the most widely used excavation equipment. The construction process is roughly divided into four parts: excavation, slag removal, support, and advancement. Among them, lining is a permanent support structure built with reinforced concrete and other materials along the perimeter of the tunnel body to prevent deformation or collapse of the surrounding rock during underground construction. During the support process, different lining support methods will be determined according to the surrounding rock conditions. Lining is divided into primary lining and secondary lining. In TBM construction, the primary lining mainly adopts the method of installing steel arches combined with shotcrete, while the secondary lining mainly adopts the method of assembling prefabricated linings.

[0003] In the actual construction process, the assembly method includes lining hoisting, preliminary positioning, precise adjustment, bolt connection and waterproofing. The whole process requires high-precision control to ensure that the linings are tightly connected and have good waterproof performance. Lining assembly is one of the important processes in tunnel engineering. The prefabricated lining is assembled to form the innermost barrier of the tunnel. The quality of lining assembly directly affects the mechanical stability and durability of the tunnel engineering.

[0004] In the actual construction process, TBM has the typical characteristics of multiple subsystems, multiple tasks and high coordination. In terms of secondary lining construction, it is even more necessary for workers to operate strictly in accordance with the operation sequence. Although the existing secondary lining construction method can achieve long-term stable support, it still has shortcomings in terms of construction cost, construction complexity, and construction quality. Before the final support is formed, the secondary lining needs to go through multiple processes such as production, transportation, and assembly. Among them, the production of secondary lining involves processes such as steel arch assembly, concrete pouring, surface repair, lining maintenance, and strength inspection, and the production cycle is relatively long; in addition to the transportation safety requirements, the transportation of secondary lining also has problems such as highway weight limit and lining transportation damage, and the transportation cost is relatively high; the assembly quality of secondary lining is affected by the operator's proficiency in the operation of assembly equipment. There are problems such as unstable hoisting and bumping against equipment during the hoisting and transportation of the lining, which poses a safety hazard. At the same time, the construction of secondary lining requires the collaboration of multiple systems such as production, transportation, and assembly. An overly complex system will increase the initial development cost and later maintenance cost, and the real-time communication and collaboration problem between the systems is not easy to solve. In addition, during the assembly process of secondary lining components constructed by the TBM method, there may be problems such as lining vault cavities, lining cracks, insufficient lining thickness, lining water leakage, and substrate bulge. The existing lining repair methods have a low degree of automation and mostly rely on manual experience for repair, which requires high labor intensity from workers. Summary of the invention

The structured light camera 711 is connected to the hopper 706 via a threaded hole on the fixed mounting plate 703 .

[0042] The structural diagram of the designed propulsion module is shown in Fig. 9As shown. It mainly includes a support shoe 801, a saddle 802, a propulsion cylinder 803, an anti-torque cylinder 804, a support shoe cylinder 805, a rear support cylinder 806, a rear support sliding column 807 and a rear support shoe plate 808. There are two support shoes 801, which are arranged on both sides of the saddle. The surface of the support shoe 801 is an arc surface, which is used to support the two sides of the tunnel when the device is propulsed. The cylinder body of the thrust cylinder 803 is hinged to the support shoe 801, and the piston rod of the thrust cylinder 803 is hinged to the main beam 5; the saddle 802 is connected to the main beam 5 through a slide rail, the cylinder body of the anti-torque cylinder 804 is hinged to the saddle 802, and the piston rod of the anti-torque cylinder 804 is hinged to the cylinder body of the support shoe cylinder 805, and the piston rod of the support shoe cylinder 805 is hinged to the support shoe 801, and the cylinder body of the support shoe cylinder 805 is hinged to the piston rod of the anti-torque cylinder 804; the cylinder body of the rear support cylinder 806 is hinged to the main beam 5, and the piston rod of the rear support cylinder 806 is hinged to the rear support slide column 807, and a sliding connection is formed between the rear support slide column 807 and the main beam 5 in the form of a moving pair, and the rear support shoe plate 808 is hinged to the rear support slide column 807.

[0043] The specific method of using the device of the present invention is as follows:

[0044] The driving motor 601 rotates to drive the planetary gear 602 to rotate, and then drives the outer gear ring 603 and multiple in-situ 3D printing modules 7 arranged on the supporting steel plate 604 to rotate, thereby realizing the circumferential movement of the in-situ 3D printing module 7 along the tunnel. The piston rod of the sliding column cylinder 605 is extended and retracted to drive the lifting frame 606 to move radially along the tunnel, and the piston rod of the translation cylinder 607 is extended and retracted to drive the printing support 610 to slide along the slide rail 609, thereby realizing the axial movement of the in-situ 3D printing module 7 along the tunnel.

[0045] The structured light camera 711 scans along the tunnel cross section to generate the tunnel cross section morphology, and adaptively plans the printing process parameters based on the tunnel cross section morphology.

[0046] Fresh concrete material is pumped to the in-situ 3D printing module feed port 707 through a pressure-resistant hose 708, and the spiral extrusion rod 705 rotates under the drive of the stepper motor 701, and its rotation speed is regulated by the control system inputting a signal to the stepper motor 701. Fresh concrete material is extruded from the nozzle 710 onto the tunnel wall, and the extruded concrete forms printing filaments with the movement of the in-situ 3D printing module 7, and forms a secondary lining after being stacked layer by layer.

[0047] Since the secondary lining material uses concrete with sulphoaluminate cement as the cementing material, this kind of concrete is a fast-hardening and quick-drying concrete with high early strength, and its strength can be increased in a short time to meet the support requirements of the propulsion system support shoe 801. The piston rod of the support shoe cylinder 805 extends to support the support shoe 801 on the printed secondary lining, pressurizes and tightens the tunnel wall, thereby ensuring the stability of the machine, the piston rod of the rear support cylinder 806 retracts, and the piston rod of the propulsion cylinder 803 extends, driving the entire device forward. Subsequently, the piston rod of the rear support cylinder 806 extends, the rear support shoe plate 808 is supported on the tunnel arch bottom, and the piston rods of the propulsion cylinder 803 and the support shoe cylinder 805 retract; during the propulsion process, the piston rod of the anti-torque cylinder 804 retracts to drive the saddle 802 to move, and then drives the main beam 5 to change direction, realizes the posture adjustment of the entire device, and thus cooperates with the change of the excavation direction of the external tunnel excavation structure, thus completing a propulsion cycle step.

[0048] The in-situ 3D printing secondary lining and propulsion device based on the main beam TBM proposed in this invention focuses on the core function of the tunnel secondary lining construction process: stable support. This function mainly relies on the error control of the secondary lining construction process, shortening the time and space distance from the production to the assembly of the secondary lining as much as possible, and reducing the intermediate steps from the production to the assembly of the secondary lining.

[0049] The present invention realizes in-situ manufacturing of secondary linings of different shapes and sizes by arranging in-situ 3D printing modules in the circumferential direction, thereby meeting the needs of simplifying the secondary lining construction process and reducing the complexity of the system. The present invention scans the tunnel section through a structured light camera to obtain the geometric information of the tunnel section morphology, and realizes the adaptive planning of the secondary lining printing parameters. In addition, the present invention uses an in-situ 3D printing system to replace the lining trailers, lining cranes, lining assembly machines and other equipment required for traditional secondary lining construction. Under the premise of effectively ensuring the long-term stable support of the tunnel secondary lining, the complexity of the secondary lining from production to assembly system is greatly reduced, and unnecessary energy loss is reduced. At the same time, the present invention provides a good hardware foundation for the in-situ planning of secondary lining design parameters of the tunnel, and provides great help for the efficient and safe operation of secondary lining in actual engineering.

[0050] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
