Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of tunnel boring machines, and in particular to a device and method for monitoring the wear state of a TBM cutter, a computer storage medium and equipment. Background Art
[0002] When a full-face hard rock tunnel boring machine (TBM) is working, it uses the cutters on the rotating cutterhead to squeeze the rocks to break them; however, squeezing the rocks by the cutters will cause considerable wear on the cutter rings. When the cutter rings are worn to a certain extent, the excavation efficiency of the full-face hard rock tunnel boring machine will be significantly reduced. In order not to affect the tunnel excavation period, the cutter rings need to be replaced in time, so it is often necessary to monitor the wear of the cutter rings. Crushing rocks will cause serious obstacles to the cutter wear monitoring instrument. For example, crushing rocks will block light and sound wave signals, so optical and ultrasonic monitoring instruments are not applicable; in addition, when crushed rocks fall from the cutterhead, they will impact the monitoring instrument, posing a great threat to the safety of the monitoring instrument.
[0003] In underground engineering construction, TBM is an efficient fully mechanized construction equipment, and its cutter is a key working component responsible for breaking rocks and advancing the tunnel. The wear condition of the cutter directly affects the excavation efficiency, cost and engineering safety of TBM.
[0004] The current TBM cutter wear monitoring methods mainly include manual inspection during shutdown, analysis of cut rock samples, and monitoring of cutter head torque and thrust. These methods have the following limitations: manual inspection during shutdown will lead to interruption of excavation operations, seriously affecting the progress of the project; the analysis of cut rock samples is delayed and requires the support of professional laboratories, making it difficult to achieve real-time monitoring; although the monitoring of cutter head torque and thrust can reflect the cutter wear to a certain extent, it is often not accurate enough and is easily affected by various factors such as geological conditions.
[0005] In view of the limitations of the above-mentioned existing technologies, there is still a great demand for real-time and accurate monitoring of the wear status of TBM cutters. In order to ensure the continuous efficient and safe operation of TBM and reduce maintenance costs and downtime, it is urgent to develop a new TBM cutter wear monitoring method and device to achieve online, dynamic, and high-precision wear monitoring and early warning functions. Summary of the invention

[0008] A further limitation of the above technical solution is that the counting device is composed of a magnet, a battery, a magnetic sensor, a counter, a wireless transmission module and a metal protective shell, wherein the magnet is arranged on the cutter disc, the battery, the magnetic sensor, the counter and the wireless transmission module are electrically connected, and the metal protective shell is installed and fixed on the outside of the battery, the magnetic sensor, the counter and the wireless transmission module. As the hob rotates one circle, the magnet is driven, and a signal is generated when it passes the magnetic sensor and the counter is turned on to record the number of rotations of the hob.
[0009] A further limitation of the above technical solution is that the surrounding rock wear detection device consists of a wear-resistant protective block, an insulating protective shell and a wear steel needle; the wear steel needle is wrapped with an insulating protective shell on the outside and then embedded in the wear-resistant protective block; when the cutter disc rotates, the length of the wear steel needle is obtained by measuring the resistance change of the wear steel needle and other means, and the abrasiveness of the surrounding rock is quantitatively evaluated based on the wear amount of the wear steel needle as the cutter disc rotates.
[0010] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention proposes the following technical solutions: a method for monitoring hob wear, comprising the following steps:

[0014] Step 4: Use neural network to establish a cutter wear prediction model, use the pre-excavation section data as the training database, normalize the training samples and input them into the neural network model, find the optimal parameters of the model, and then establish the cutter wear prediction model. The more training data there is, the more accurate the cutter wear prediction model is. Then, the cutter wear can be predicted by the cutter wear prediction model in the formal excavation section.
[0015] Step 5: Compare the hob wear predicted in step 4 with the actual hob wear statistics of the staff, correct the hob wear prediction model through neural network learning, improve the prediction accuracy, and feed back to the database described in step 1 and the hob wear prediction model described in step 4.
[0016] The above technical solution is further limited in that, in step 2, the roller cutter pressure data is detected by a pressure sensor, and the roller cutter torque data is detected by a torque sensor.

[0046] Step 3: When the cutter pressure and cutter torque are normal, the cutter working state is in the normal cutter wear state, and the theoretical cutter wear amount S (radial wear amount of the cutter ring per unit excavation distance) is calculated by the following formula (1).

The more training data, the more accurate the cutter wear prediction model is, and the cutter wear can be predicted by the cutter wear prediction model in the formal excavation section.
[0051] Step 5: Compare the hob wear predicted in step 4 with the actual hob wear statistics of the staff, correct the hob wear prediction model through neural network learning, improve the prediction accuracy, and feed back to the database described in step 1 and the hob wear prediction model described in step 4.

[0061] The TBM cutter wear monitoring device and method proposed in the present invention have the following beneficial effects:
[0062] 1. When the hob is working normally, a large number of engineering cases show that the hob wear is highly correlated with the stress state and geological conditions. Since there are many parameters related to the hob wear and the data contains noise, the direct use of all parameters using the neural network learning convergence speed is slow, and it is difficult to accurately obtain all parameters. Therefore, it is necessary to pre-process the factors related to the hob wear, screen out the main components with large contribution rates, and finally predict the hob wear through the ability of the neural network to approximate nonlinear continuous functions. Later, the actual wear of the hob is statistically analyzed to correct the prediction model, thereby achieving accurate prediction of the hob wear.
[0063] 2. Improved real-time performance and accuracy: The use of precise detection of main parameters and data analysis algorithms realizes real-time online monitoring of the working status of the hob, which can timely and accurately predict the wear of the hob, effectively avoiding delays and misjudgments caused by lags in traditional methods.
[0064] 3. Improve work efficiency and safety: Through real-time prediction of cutter wear, the cutter life can be predicted in advance, replacement plans can be arranged reasonably, unnecessary downtime and maintenance costs can be reduced, and the continuity and efficiency of TBM excavation operations can be further improved. At the same time, the risk of accidents caused by excessive cutter wear can be avoided to ensure the safety of the construction site.
[0065] 4. Optimize tunneling strategy: The accurate wear information provided by the monitoring method and device helps to adjust tunneling parameters (such as propulsion speed, torque, cutterhead speed, etc.), optimize tunneling strategy in real time according to geological conditions and cutter wear conditions, and further improve the overall performance and economic benefits of TBM.
[0066] There are many theoretical calculation formulas for cutter wear, but the main influencing factors are related to the working state of the cutter and the abrasiveness of the surrounding rock. The cases are only examples and can be selected according to actual conditions.
[0067] In addition to neural network learning, the hob wear prediction model also has many other methods such as big data mining and artificial intelligence. In addition, the working status of the hob and the measures to be taken need to be classified according to the actual situation.
