Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of shield propulsion, and in particular relates to a buffer structure of a shield propulsion system. Background Art
[0002] A shield machine is a tunnel boring machine that uses the shield method. The shield construction method is that the tunnel boring machine constructs the tunnel's supporting segments while excavating. It is different from the open construction method. The shield machine's propulsion system is realized by a hydraulic system controlling multiple cylinders.
[0003] However, the existing multiple propulsion cylinders have poor protection against external media, making it very laborious to work in harder rock formations. They generate large vibrations during propulsion and lack the ability to stabilize and adjust themselves. The buffering effect is poor, which can easily cause multiple propulsion cylinders to shake, reducing their service life or causing damage. This makes it difficult for the shield machine to perform excavation and propulsion work, and it is difficult to meet the propulsion needs of subsequent shield machines. To this end, we proposed a shield machine propulsion system.
[0004] In response to the above problems, the utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN211874493U discloses a shield machine propulsion system, including a shield machine partition and two propulsion cylinders, wherein an articulated block is installed on the propulsion cylinder, and a fixed block is integrally formed on the side wall of the articulated block. The propulsion cylinder is installed in the shield machine partition, and a protective sleeve is provided between the propulsion cylinders. A connecting rod is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the protective sleeve, and the other end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the shield machine partition. A cylinder body is installed in the protective sleeve. A piston is movably connected to the inner cavity of the cylinder body. A straight rod is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the side of the piston near the fixed block. The end of the straight rod is sleeved with an inner shell, and a baffle is fixedly mounted on the end of the straight rod in the inner cavity of the inner shell. A second buffer spring is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the baffle. The other end of the second buffer spring is fixedly connected to the inner cavity side wall of the inner shell. A sealing block is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the side of the fixed block near the inner shell. The sealing block is mounted on the end of the cylinder body, and the inner shell is mounted inside the sealing block. The main method is to maintain the stability of the propulsion cylinder by utilizing the air pressure inside the cylinder and the spring force of the spring. However, in practice, when the piston slides in the air pressure, it needs to slide a certain distance before it can maintain relative stability. Combined with the elastic force of the spring, it can be said that when the propulsion cylinder shakes in one direction, although it can play a buffering role, the initial shaking is still violent and the buffering effect is not good. Based on this, it is necessary to further improve it. Summary of the Invention

[0022] Example:
[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a buffer structure for a shield propulsion system, which is installed between the shield machine partition 1 and the propulsion cylinder 2.

During the operation of the shield propulsion system, if the propulsion cylinder 2 shakes, the connecting block 3 and the positioning plate 4 will shake synchronously. At this time, the first buffer assembly and the second buffer assembly can both buffer the left and right shaking of the propulsion cylinder 2. The buffering effects of the first buffer assembly and the second buffer assembly are superimposed synchronously, which can more effectively maintain the stability of the propulsion cylinder 2.
[0024] The present invention can first assemble the entire buffer structure, and then realize quick loading and unloading between the shield machine partition 1 and the propulsion cylinder 2, which is simple and convenient. During the operation of the shield propulsion system, if the propulsion cylinder 2 shakes, the connecting block 3 and the positioning plate 4 will shake synchronously. At this time, the first buffer assembly and the second buffer assembly can both have a buffering effect on the left and right shaking of the propulsion cylinder 2. The buffering effects of the first buffer assembly and the second buffer assembly are synchronously superimposed, which can more effectively maintain the stability of the propulsion cylinder 2.

[0028] As a preferred implementation scheme in this embodiment, it needs to be further explained that the second buffer assembly includes a second sleeve 11, a second sleeve cover 12, a piston ring 13, a first slide plate 14 and a plurality of second springs 15.

The first piston 19 is slidably connected to the second sleeve 11, and the second cylinder cover 12 is provided with an adjustment component for adjusting the position of the first piston 19 in the second sleeve 11.
