With the acceleration of urban renewal in my country, the problem of underground space utilization has become increasingly prominent. Major cities have built shaft garages to alleviate parking difficulties, underground storage pools to regulate flood disasters and recycle water resources, and shafts as underground energy storage and underground energy storage space, mountain tunnel ventilation shafts, etc. Shaft construction methods are divided into manual excavation construction, semi-mechanical excavation construction and mechanical excavation construction. Shield tunneling is widely used due to its advantages such as fast excavation speed, high safety and little impact on the surrounding environment.

In recent years, with the development of science and technology, some mechanized construction equipment has gradually emerged, but there are problems such as low mechanization and slow slag discharge speed that affect the construction progress. Especially for hard rock formations, a single drilling and blasting method or shield construction is usually used, which has problems such as low construction efficiency, safety of construction personnel, severe tool wear and frequent tool changes.
