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.

[0003] Mechanized construction of large-diameter shafts has always been a difficult problem in the field of underground engineering. Currently, most construction methods use manually excavated shafts. After the shaft is built on the ground, it sinks as it is excavated. The construction speed is slow, and the shaft is prone to deflection, poor sinking, and the need to add sinking aids when sinking. 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. It is impossible to comprehensively utilize the characteristics of shield tunneling, high safety, small impact on the surrounding environment, and high efficiency of drilling and blasting in hard rock excavation.

The drilling skylights 14 can be used to drill blast holes for installing medicine rolls. The drive assembly 12 drives the cutterhead assembly 11 to rotate, thereby realizing the downward rotation of the cutterhead shield machine 1 to excavate the central guide hole 22.

[0014] The cutterhead assembly 11 includes a cutterhead 111, a roller cutter 112 and a scraper 113. The cutterhead 111 includes a central circular cutterhead and a fan-shaped cutterhead. Six fan-shaped cutterheads are arranged along the circumference of the central circular cutterhead. A slag inlet 114 is formed between adjacent fan-shaped cutterheads. Three groups of scrapers 113 are arranged on both sides of the arc of the fan-shaped cutterhead. Three groups of roller cutters 112 are arranged in the middle of the fan-shaped cutterhead. Two groups of roller cutters 112 are arranged on the central circular cutterhead, and the two groups of roller cutters 112 of the central circular cutterhead are in a cross shape. The roller cutters 112 and the scraper 113 are used for excavating the hard rock formation 2, thereby forming rock slag, and the rock slag can enter the shield 13 from the slag inlet 114.

[0015] The driving assembly 12 includes a motor 121, a cutter head frame 123 and a reaction frame 124. The base of the motor 121 is mounted on the reaction frame 124 (reaction plate 1242). The motor shaft 122 is connected to the fan-shaped cutter head of the cutter head assembly 11 through the cutter head frame 123. The motor 121 drives the cutter head assembly 11 to rotate. The cutter head frame 123 is composed of a connecting plate 1231 and a support foot 1232. The connecting plate 1231 is annular. Both sides of the connecting plate 1232 are connected to the motor shaft 122 of the motor 121 and the support foot 1232 respectively. The support foot 1232 is inclined and arranged 6 times along the circumference of the connecting plate 1231. The support foot 1232 is connected to the fan-shaped cutter head of the cutter head assembly 11. The reaction frame 124 is composed of a fan-shaped support plate 1241, a reaction plate 1242, radial ribs 1243 and arc-shaped ribs 1244. The reaction plate 1242 is circular.

[0016] When the cutterhead shield machine 1 is located on the tunnel face 21 , the motor 121 of the drive assembly 12 is started, and the motor 121 of the drive assembly 12 drives the cutterhead assembly 11 to rotate, so that the cutterhead shield machine 1 excavates the central guide tunnel 22 downward.

[0017] S2: After the excavation of the central guide hole 22 is completed, the motor 121 of the driving assembly 12 is turned off.

[0018] S3: using the drilled skylight 14 of the shield 13 , a blast hole 4 is opened on the hard rock stratum 2 in the circumferential direction of the central guide hole 22 , and a charge roll 5 is installed in the blast hole 4 .

[0019] The blast holes 4 (charge rolls 5) are arranged radially with the central guide hole 22 as the center.

[0020] S4: Move the cutterhead shield machine 1 upwards, so that the cutterhead assembly 11 of the cutterhead shield machine 1 moves to the tunnel face 21 .

[0023] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are: (1) First, a small-diameter cutterhead shield is used to form a central guide tunnel during the excavation of a hard rock shaft, which increases the blasting surface for the large-diameter hard rock shaft drilling and blasting excavation. Then, blasting holes are arranged radially in the small guide tunnel toward the surrounding rock mass, which can reduce the number of blasting cartridges, control over-excavation and under-excavation, and save costs. (2) Shield tunneling is highly safe, but there are problems with severe wear and tear of cutters in hard rock formations and high maintenance costs. The drilling and blasting method is low-cost but less safe. Combining the advantages and disadvantages of the shield method and the drilling and blasting method, only a small-diameter cutterhead shield is used to form a central guide hole to increase the blasting free surface, reduce the number of cutters and the length of use, reduce cutter wear, and save costs. (3) Using a small-diameter cutterhead shield machine to construct a large-diameter shaft can reduce the deformation of the shaft surrounding rock and ensure the safety of shaft construction.
