Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of tunneling, in particular to a TBM cutterhead anti-blocking water spraying device. BACKGROUND

[0002] TBM, Tunnel Boring Machine. In a broad sense, it is divided into open type tunnel boring machine and shield type tunnel boring machine. In a narrow sense, the boring device used in rock stratum is called TBM, and the boring device used in soft soil stratum is called shield machine. The TBM referred to in the present application mainly refers to the tunnel boring machine used in rock stratum in a narrow sense.

[0003] As the most critical factor affecting the construction efficiency of TBM, the design of the cutterhead affects the boring efficiency, cutterhead balance, tool service life, main bearing / gearbox maintenance, slag discharge effect, face cutter and edge cutter / slag discharge bucket wear. The TBM cutterhead is generally installed at the front end of the tunnel boring machine and is the installation carrier of the rock breaking disc cutter and the muck scraping bucket. Whether the tunnel boring machine can be successfully constructed depends on whether all parts of the TBM system can normally operate.

[0004] During the rotation of the cutterhead, the front water spraying port is in contact with the rock stratum slag and is easily blocked. After the water spraying port is blocked, the dust reduction effect is lost, and the roller cutter cannot be cooled and lubricated. Since the roller cutter will rub against the rock under the action of the propelling force during rotation, the higher the speed, the greater the heat value. Therefore, if there is no cutterhead water spraying or the cutterhead water spraying is reduced, the roller cutter will quickly heat up and accelerate the roller cutter blade. In addition, high temperature can also cause oil seal failure and oil leakage, and then damage the tapered roller bearing, causing the roller cutter to be unevenly worn, and even damage the cutter body, resulting in more serious damage to the outside roller cutter than the inside roller cutter. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the cutterhead water spraying port is unblocked, and the water spraying pressure and flow rate are designed to meet the requirements.

[0005] The existing TBM cutterhead water spraying device generally uses a direct spraying method. Once the front water spraying port is in contact with the rock stratum slag, it is easily blocked, and the machine needs to be stopped for disassembly and cleaning of the cutterhead water spraying device, resulting in delay of the construction period.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application, so as to have further understanding of the concept of the present application, the solved technical problems, the technical features of the technical solutions and the brought technical effects.

[0041] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 A TBM cutterhead anti-blocking water spraying device, comprising:

[0042] The water spraying head 1 is a hollow hemispherical structure, and the inner wall of the water spraying head 1 is provided with a sliding channel 3 in the circumferential direction, and the middle part of the sliding channel 3 is a water spraying channel 2;

[0043] The water baffle 4 is arranged in the water spraying head 1, and the middle part is provided with the water guide pipe 5 penetrating the water baffle 4, and the water guide pipe 5 is provided with the elastic expansion piece, and the top of the elastic expansion piece is connected to the impact plate 6;

[0044] The upper left side of the impact plate 6 is connected to the left blocking plate 7 through the left connecting piece, and the lower end of the left blocking plate 7 is connected to the left end of the sliding groove 3 through the first spring 8;

[0045] The upper right side of the impact plate 6 is connected to the right blocking plate through the right connecting piece, and the lower end of the right blocking plate is connected to the right end of the sliding groove 3 through the second spring;

[0046] The left blocking plate 7 and the right blocking plate are slidably sleeved in the sliding groove 3;

[0047] The connecting head 9 is connected to the bottom of the water spraying head 1, and is used for mounting the water spraying head 1 on the mounting position of the TBM cutterhead;

[0048] When the water flow enters the water spraying head 1 through the water guide pipe 5 and washes the impact plate 6, the impact plate 6 moves upwards, the elastic expansion piece is elongated, and the left blocking plate 7 and the right blocking plate slide to the two sides of the sliding groove 3 under the pulling of the first spring 8 and the second spring respectively, so that the water spraying channel 2 is opened;

[0049] When the water flow stops, the impact plate 6 moves downwards under the contraction of the elastic expansion piece, and the left blocking plate 7 and the right blocking plate are driven by the left connecting piece and the right connecting piece respectively to converge to the middle part of the sliding groove 3, so that the water spraying channel 2 is closed.

[0050] The anti-blocking water spraying device mainly comprises two parts of the connecting head 9 and the water spraying head 1, and the two parts are connected to each other and connected to the external structure through the connecting head 9. The water baffle 4 is arranged in the water spraying head 1, and is used for blocking the water flow entering the water spraying head 1, so that the water flow can only enter above the water baffle 4 along the water guide pipe 5 and wash the impact plate 6 along the water guide pipe 5 to push the impact plate 6 to move upwards. In the initial state, the impact plate 6 is pulled downwards under the action of the elastic expansion piece, so that the left blocking plate 7 and the right blocking plate on the two sides are located in the upper half of the sliding groove 3, and the water spraying channel 2 is blocked to prevent the external water spraying port from contacting the rock stratum debris to cause the debris to enter the semispherical space inside the water spraying head 1 to cause blockage. When the water flow enters from the end of the connecting head 9, the impact plate 6 above is impacted, the impact plate 6 moves upwards under the impact of the water flow, the elastic expansion piece is elongated, the left blocking plate 7 and the right blocking plate move downwards under the action of the first spring 8 at the lower end of the sliding groove 3, so as to move away from the state of blocking the water spraying channel 2, so as to facilitate the water flow to be sprayed from the water spraying channel 2, and in this process, the bristles on the outer wall of the left blocking plate 7 and the right blocking plate can also clean and brush the water spraying channel 2, so as to reduce the blockage of the water spraying channel 2 caused by the accumulation of the rock stratum debris in the water spraying channel 2.

[0051] As a preferred embodiment, the elastic telescopic member comprises a first mounting plate 501 fixed in the water guide pipe 5, a vertical telescopic rod 502 provided on the first mounting plate 501, a third spring 503 sleeved outside the telescopic rod 502, the bottom of the third spring 503 being provided on the first mounting plate 501, the top of the third spring 503 and the telescopic rod 502 being connected to a second mounting plate 504, the second mounting plate 504 being connected to the impact plate 6 through a vertical connecting rod; the elastic modulus of the third spring 503 is greater than twice the elastic modulus of the first spring 8.

[0052] The embodiment provides a specific structure of the elastic telescopic member, and specifically, as shown in Figure 3 The first mounting plate 501 is provided inside the water guide pipe 5, and the impact plate is connected to the first mounting plate 501 through the third spring 503 and the telescopic rod 502. Since the elastic modulus of the third spring 503 is greater than twice the elastic modulus of the first spring 8, the first spring 8 is in an elongated state in an initial state, and the impact plate 6 is pulled down under the pulling force of the third spring 503. When water flows through the first mounting plate 501 and impacts on the impact plate 6, the third spring 503 is elongated from the initial state, and the two first springs 8 are contracted, so as to pull the left sealing plate 7 and the right sealing plate to move towards the bottom end of the sliding groove 3, and the opening process of the water spraying through slot 2 is completed.

[0053] As a preferred embodiment, the elastic telescopic member comprises a first mounting plate 501 fixed in the water guide pipe 5 and sealing the water guide pipe 5, a vertical telescopic rod 502 provided on the first mounting plate 501, a third spring 503 sleeved outside the telescopic rod 502, the bottom of the third spring 503 being provided on the first mounting plate 501, the top of the third spring 503 and the telescopic rod 502 being connected to a second mounting plate 504, the second mounting plate 504 being connected to the impact plate 6 through a vertical connecting rod; the elastic modulus of the third spring 503 is greater than twice the elastic modulus of the first spring 8; further comprising a branch pipe 505 provided outside the water guide pipe 5, the branch pipe 505 being in communication with the water guide pipe 5 and being provided with a through flow hole at the top and facing the outer edge of the impact plate 6.

[0054] The embodiment provides another specific structure of the elastic telescopic member, and specifically, as shown in Figure 4As shown, the first mounting plate 501 blocks the water conduit 5, so the water flow will flow out of the water conduit 5 along the outer branch pipe 505, and hit the outer edge of the impact plate 6 along the branch pipe 505. When the impact plate 6 moves up to complete the opening process of the water flow channel 2, the impact plate 6 is out of the impact range of the branch pipe 505, at this time the impact plate 6 falls back under the action of the third spring 503, and falls into the impact range of the branch pipe 505 again, and the above process is repeated again, so that the left blocking plate 7 and the right blocking plate move back and forth in the sliding groove 3, thereby realizing the process of continuously brushing and cleaning the water flow channel 2 by the bristles, thereby further helping to dredge the blockage in the water flow channel 2 on the basis of achieving the function of opening the water flow channel 2.

[0055] As a preferred embodiment, the left connecting member includes a first connecting rod 601, both ends of the first connecting rod 601 are respectively hinged to the upper left side of the impact plate 6 and the left blocking plate 7, and a limiting rod 602 is arranged on the upper side of the impact plate 6 and the lower side away from the impact plate 6 respectively in the middle of the first connecting rod 601, and the limiting rod 602 is connected to the inner wall of the water head 1.

[0056] The right connecting member is symmetric to the left connecting member about the center line of the impact plate 6.

[0057] The embodiment provides a specific structure of the connecting member, specifically, Figure 5 When the impact plate 6 moves up under the impact of the water flow, the upper surface of the first connecting rod 601 collides with the limiting rod 602 on the upper side, at this time the end of the first connecting rod 601 hinged to the impact plate 6 moves up, the distance between the first connecting rod 601 and the limiting rod 602 shortens, the length of the other end of the first connecting rod 601 is elongated, and the limiting rod 602 on the upper side acts as a rotating fulcrum, so that the end of the first connecting rod 601 hinged to the left blocking plate 7 moves down under the thrust of the other end, and the opening process of the water flow channel 2 is completed. When the water flow stops impacting the impact plate 6, the impact plate 6 moves down, at this time the first connecting rod 601 is driven by the impact plate 6 to move down to touch the limiting rod 602, and rotates about the limiting rod 602 on the lower side away from the impact plate 6, at this time the left blocking plate 7 is pushed up under the action of the first spring 8, and cooperates with the downward movement of the impact plate 6 and the rotation of the limiting rod 602, to force the left blocking plate 7 to move up to block the water flow channel 2.

[0058] The right connecting member is reversed.

[0059] As a preferred embodiment, the left connecting member includes a first pulling rope 603, one end of the first pulling rope 603 is connected to the upper left side of the impact plate 6, and the other end is connected to the blocking plate 7 after passing around a guide column 604, and the guide column 604 is horizontally arranged on the inner wall of the upper part of the sliding groove 3.

[0060] The right connecting member comprises a second pull rope, one end of which is connected to the upper right side of the impact plate 6, and the other end is also connected to the right blocking plate after passing around the guide column 604.

[0061] This embodiment provides another specific structure of the connecting member. Specifically, as shown in Figure 6 The first pull rope 603, as the connecting part of the left blocking plate 7 and the impact plate 6, is guided by the guide column 604, so that the pulling force of the first pull rope 603 acting on the left blocking plate 7 is along the running direction of the left blocking plate 7 and the right blocking plate, or the running direction of the sliding groove 3, ensuring smooth movement of the left blocking plate 7 and the right blocking plate during the lifting process.

[0062] The second pull rope is the same.

[0063] As a preferred embodiment, the lower surface of the bulkhead 4 is in the shape of an inverted funnel.

[0064] In this embodiment, by setting the lower surface of the bulkhead 4 in the shape of an inverted funnel, the fluid state of the water flow when it contacts the bulkhead 4 is improved, which helps to ensure the continuity and stability of the water flow when it impacts on the impact plate 6.

[0065] As a preferred embodiment, the impact plate 6 is a downwardly curved arc-shaped plate.

[0066] In this embodiment, by setting the impact plate 6 as a downwardly curved arc-shaped plate, the stress state of the impact plate 6 is improved when the water flow impacts on it, so that the flow rate of the water flow can be better converted into the movement of the impact plate 6.

[0067] As a preferred embodiment, the water filtering assembly comprises a cylindrical shell 901 fixed to the inner wall of the connecting head 9, the side wall of the cylindrical shell 901 is provided with a plurality of water holes 902, the top is provided with a mounting hole 903 with internal threads, and a circular third mounting plate 904 is screwed into the mounting hole 903; the third mounting plate 904 is provided with a through hole in the middle, and a filter basket 905 is fixed in the through hole.

When the filter basket 905 is completely blocked, water can be drained through the water through hole 902, that is, after the water flow enters the nozzle mounting cylinder connector 9, it enters the cylindrical shell 901 on the inner wall of the connector 9 along the water filtering assembly, and is filtered by the filter basket 905 first, so that the particles in the water flow are prevented from being stuck in the water jet through slot 2 and causing the water jet through slot 2 to be blocked. In order to prevent the water flow from being unable to pass normally due to the failure to clean the impurities in the filter basket 905 in time, the water can be drained through the water through hole 902.

[0069] As a preferred embodiment, the mounting cylinder 906 is further provided, the upper surface of the mounting cylinder 906 is recessed inward in a stepped manner, the middle part is provided with a mounting through slot 907 with an internal thread, and the connector 9 is screwed with the mounting through slot 907.
