Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to tunnel boring machine equipment, in particular to a cantilever type adaptive tunnel boring machine. Background Art

[0002] Although cantilevered tunnel boring machines are widely used in the construction of mountain tunnels and urban subway projects, their limitations in performance and functionality have gradually become a key bottleneck restricting engineering efficiency and cost control. These limitations are mainly reflected in the low efficiency of hard rock excavation. Due to the rapid wear of the cutters, frequent replacement leads to increased construction costs and extended construction periods. In addition, the excavation section shape of the cantilevered tunnel boring machine is fixed. Once set, it is difficult to adjust during the construction process, limiting its application in diversified engineering needs. At the same time, traditional cantilevered tunnel boring machines also have shortcomings in geological adaptability, especially in rocks with higher hardness, where the excavation speed drops significantly and the cost of the cutters increases sharply. These problems not only affect construction efficiency, but also increase the complexity and cost of the project.

[0003] In the actual construction process, due to the limitation of the cross-section size, the internal working space of small-section tunnels is limited, resulting in frequent cross-processes and great mutual interference, so that drilling and slag removal can only be carried out periodically during construction, and large-scale and efficient mechanical equipment cannot be effectively used. In addition, cantilevered tunnel boring machines cannot achieve parallel operations during the excavation, support, and transportation processes. The temporary support has insufficient protection capabilities, poor safety, high labor intensity, and low monthly footage. These factors limit the application of cantilevered tunnel boring machines in complex geological conditions, especially in rocks with higher hardness. The excavation speed drops significantly and the tool cost increases sharply, leading to further increases in construction costs. Summary of the invention

[0032] Step 4: During the expansion process of step 3, the floating adjustment mechanism 4 and the cutting mechanism 5 are driven by controlling the rotation adjustment hydraulic cylinder 303 and the pitch adjustment hydraulic cylinder 306 of the supporting cantilever 3 to swing and adjust the excavation position within the range of 43° upward, 23° downward, 35° left and 35° right on the excavation surface, and the cutting mechanism 5 is coordinated with the rotation to complete the cutting of the rock layer on the working surface and cut out a tunnel with the required shape and section.

[0033] The working principle of the control system of the tunnel boring machine of the present invention is as follows: Fig.16 As shown, the control system of the tunnel boring machine of the embodiment of the present invention adopts an advanced closed-loop control system, which is composed of a human-machine interface (HMI), a programmable logic controller (PLC), an actuator and a sensor. The control system is mainly responsible for realizing the start / stop control of the tunnel boring machine, that is, controlling the start and stop of the cutting mechanism 5; speed regulation, dynamically adjusting the speed of the cutting mechanism 5 according to geological conditions; torque limitation, monitoring the torque to prevent the cutting mechanism 5 from overloading; swing arm control, realizing the up and down and left and right swings of the cutting mechanism 5; and propulsion speed control, automatically adjusting the propulsion speed according to the load. In addition, the system also includes protection mechanisms, such as overload protection, over-temperature protection and abnormal alarm, to ensure the safe operation of the tunnel boring machine.

[0034] The PLC controller achieves precise control through the cutting mechanism 5 speed signal fed back by the speed sensor, the load signal monitored by the hydraulic system 108 pressure sensor, and the geological information obtained by the three-way force sensor and vibration signal. The PLC control program includes key functions such as initialization program, cutting mechanism start and stop control logic, speed and torque control logic, swing action cycle control logic, propulsion speed control logic, abnormal signal alarm, data storage and transmission; the host computer or HMI control program provides users with an intuitive operation interface to facilitate monitoring and adjustment of the working status of the tunnel boring machine.

[0035] The tunnel boring machine of the present invention can realize adaptive control, for example, when cutting hard rock, the thrust is reduced and the rotation speed is increased, so as to ensure effective cutting under both soft and hard rock conditions. In addition, the cutting mechanism 5 of the present invention integrates a detector function, which can automatically adjust the cutting strategy according to the geological conditions, significantly enhancing the intelligence level of the tunnel boring machine, making it more adaptable and efficient in complex and changeable geological environments.

[0036] The above are preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
