[0002] With the rapid development of urban construction, the number of underground tunnel projects is increasing, and the strata used by shield machines are becoming more and more complex. At present, the shield tail seal of existing shield machines is mostly a three-layer wire shield tail brush seal.

[0003] However, according to previous construction experience, the three-layer shield tail brush sealing tail shield has poor sealing effect and is prone to leakage when used in deep burial and groundwater-rich strata; as the tunnel develops deeper underground, the existing three-layer shield tail brush tail shield cannot meet the requirements of tunnel construction. Therefore, it is urgent to transform and upgrade the existing shield machine three-layer shield tail brush tail shield structure. Summary of the invention

[0011] Step 6: hoist the newly made and lengthened tail shield structure in step 5 onto the old tail shield in step 3 as a whole, and perform leveling, connection and fixing;

[0012] Step 7: Plane a groove parallel to the grouting and grease injection plate on the tail shield cylinder of the old tail shield, and embed a steel pipe in it;

[0013] Step 8, butt-join the embedded steel pipe described in step 7 with the grease pipe of the third grease cavity on the C ring of the tail shield cylinder of the newly made extended tail shield structure and fully weld them;
