[0037] In this example, the support ring unit has two working modes: non-variable / variable.

In actual projects, the starting device can be reasonably installed according to the debugging requirements.

In addition, a series of threaded holes are opened on the steel plates to facilitate the subsequent installation of the device.

[0041] S2. A support pier 32 is set at a designated position on the steel plate 6, and then the cutter head 31 is hoisted and placed on the support pier 32; the support pier 32 provides vertical stability support for the cutter head at this time.

[0042] S3. Hoist the main drive 41 and connect the main drive 41 to the cutter head 31.

[0043] S4. Determine the number of layers of the support ring unit 100 according to the size of the shaft boring machine, and adjust the reducer assembly 2 according to the diameter of the shaft boring machine so that the diameter of the support ring unit 100 matches the diameter of the shaft boring machine; then install the first layer of support ring units and the second layer of support ring units in sequence from bottom to top on the steel plate 6 with the cutterhead 31 as the center, and connect the support ring units with bolts.

[0044] S5. Install the swivel joint 61 and hoist the central support 62.

[0045] S6. Assemble the support shoe propulsion system 71, fix the support shoe 74 of the support shoe propulsion system 71 with steel and the support shoe support 16 and install a fixing device 75 on the top to withstand the propulsion reaction force, keep the support shoe vertical, and prevent the support shoe from bending down; also connect the propulsion cylinder 73 and the adjustment cylinder 72.

[0046] S7. After assembly, connect equipment pipelines and carry out debugging work.

[0047] S8. After debugging is normal, the support pier 32 is removed; the shaft boring machine starts to dig downward; the shaft boring machine starts without a pilot tunnel. After the digging process is completed, the bottom gripper of the gripper propulsion system extends out and is placed on the gripper support 16, the top gripper is retracted, and the propulsion cylinder 73 is retracted, completing the step change and starting the next digging process.

[0048] Compared with the prior art, the use of this variable-diameter shaft boring machine assembly and non-pilot tunnel starting method effectively avoids the excavation of the starting guide tunnel and greatly shortens the assembly and debugging cycle; in addition, the present invention can assemble and debug various types of shaft boring machines through the variable-diameter device, thereby improving the adaptability of the starting device assembly process; finally, the present invention divides the support ring unit into multiple layers, which not only reduces the difficulty of transportation, but also allows the equipment to be assembled and debugged for a single component, the whole or different heights according to the actual needs of the project. Therefore, the starting device of this solution has the advantages of short assembly and debugging cycle, low debugging cost, strong versatility, etc., which can maximize construction efficiency and avoid waste of resources.

[0049] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.

The non-pilot tunnel launching device for a shaft boring machine according to claim 6, characterized in that: The connection side of the left flange (24) and the connection side of the right flange (25) are both provided with a connection cross bar (26), and the connection end of the connection cross bar (26) is provided with a third flange (27); and a reinforcing rib (23) is provided between the sleeve (22) and the right flange (25) or the left flange (24).

8. The pilot-less starting device for a shaft boring machine according to claim 7, characterized in that: The telescopic driving member (21) is a hydraulic cylinder or an air cylinder or a basket bolt member.

9. The non-pilot tunnel launching device for a shaft boring machine according to claim 1 or 8, characterized in that: The first layer of support ring units located at the bottom is fixed on the steel plate (6); and the diameter reducing components (2) of a plurality of support ring units are located in the same direction.

10. A method for starting a shaft boring machine without a pilot tunnel, characterized in that: Utilize the non-pilot tunnel launching device of the shaft boring machine as claimed in claim 9; the specific process is as follows: S1. Pour concrete at the site to be launched and lay steel plates (6), ensuring that the surface flatness of the steel plates is ±5 mm; S2. Setting a support pier (32) at a designated position on the steel plate (6), and then hoisting the cutter head (31) and placing the cutter head (31) on the support pier (32); S3. Hoisting the main drive (41), and connecting the main drive (41) to the cutter head (31); S4. The number of layers of the support ring unit (100) is determined according to the size of the shaft boring machine, and the variable diameter assembly (2) is adjusted according to the diameter of the shaft boring machine so that the diameter of the support ring unit (100) matches the diameter of the shaft boring machine; then, the first layer of support ring units and the second layer of support ring units are sequentially installed from bottom to top on the steel plate (6) with the cutterhead (31) as the center, and the support ring units are connected by bolts; S5. Install the swivel joint (61) and hoist the center support (62); S6. Assemble the support shoe propulsion system (71), fix the support shoe of the support shoe propulsion system (71) with a steel section and a support shoe support (16) and install a fixing device (75) on the top to withstand the propulsion reaction force, keep the support shoe vertical, and prevent the support shoe from bending down; S7. After assembly, connect equipment pipelines and conduct commissioning; S8. After debugging is normal, the support pier (32) is removed; the shaft boring machine starts to dig downward; Complete the start of the shaft boring machine without a pilot tunnel.
