Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of shield tunnel excavation control, and in particular to a device for exchanging a leading cutter and a roller cutter of a long-distance composite stratum shield and a method for using the same. Background Art

[0002] my country has seen the rise of large-scale transportation infrastructure construction, and a large number of long-distance and large-diameter shield tunnels are being built. As the distance of shield tunneling becomes longer and longer, the geological conditions gradually change from homogeneous strata to composite strata. When tunneling shield tunnels in complex strata with alternating soft and hard strata, it is difficult for a soft soil cutterhead to meet the rock breaking requirements with only a cutter. The composite cutterhead is equipped with both a cutter and a roller, which has the ability to cut soft soil and crush rock, significantly improving the efficiency of shield tunneling in composite strata.

[0003] However, when the shield cutterhead cuts the soil layer, the roller cutter is prone to eccentric wear due to its inability to rotate; and when the shield cutterhead breaks the rock layer, the leading cutter will wear and the alloy will crack due to friction and impact. Especially for (super) large diameter shield tunnel sections, the strata are unevenly soft and hard, and the proportion of the strata changes with the shield excavation, and the demand for tool types at the same position on the cutterhead will also change accordingly. If the shield cutter layout is not optimized in time, it is very easy to cause serious abnormal wear of the cutter, restricting the safe and efficient excavation of the shield in composite strata. For example: In the composite strata of sandy clay and weathered granite in the Cuihuai section of Shenzhen Metro Line 12, the cutting life of the shield cutters is as low as 45m 3 / , abnormal wear accounts for as high as about 40%, and frequent shutdowns for maintenance and tool replacement have become one of the key factors in excavation efficiency and construction costs.

[0004] In order to improve the geological adaptability and cutting efficiency of composite formation cutting tools, domestic scholars have carried out a lot of research on the optimization layout of shield cutting tools, but most of them focus on the optimization design of cutting tool material, structural shape, cutting tool spacing, cutting tool height difference, etc.

[0005] A Chinese patent (publication date: August 21, 2020, publication number: CN111560532A) discloses a new method for preparing shield machine cutters, which uses a new powder coating technology - chemical plating to coat a cobalt metal layer on the surface of tungsten carbide powder with a particle size of 4 to 6 μm, and then mixes the obtained WC-Co with additives to form a WC-Cr3C2-TaC-Co composite powder, which is vacuum sintered to form a WC-Cr3C2-TaC-Co cemented carbide cutter head. Although this method can improve the wear resistance of shield cutters, it cannot meet the needs of tool functions changing with the change of stratum properties.

[0006] A Chinese patent (publication date: October 3, 2012, publication number: CN202467852U) discloses an arc-shaped forerunner for a shield machine, wherein the upper surface of the cutter body adopts an arc-shaped structure, and the two sides of the cutter body are trapezoidal in shape to facilitate rock and soil diversion, reduce the extrusion and accumulation of rock and soil toward the center of the cutter head, avoid direct wear of the rock and soil on the cutter body, and optimize the cutter body structure and service life. Although this method can increase the cutting distance life of the forerunner in the soil layer, it still cannot meet the functional requirements of the shield cutter for extruding and crushing the rock layer.

[0007] A Chinese patent (publication date: May 29, 2020, publication number: CN111206940A) discloses a normal pressure cutter disc knife spacing arrangement device, which solves the problem of difficulty in arranging knife spacing in the center of the normal pressure cutter disc by arranging a normal pressure tool changing device with staggered heights on the center block flange. However, this method can only be used for optimizing the arrangement of cutters on the center block flange of the cutter disc, and cannot solve the problem of interchangeability between cutting cutters and hobs at the same position of the cutter disc.

[0008] A Chinese patent (publication date: November 26, 2021, publication number: CN113704930A) discloses a design method for the spatial arrangement of shield cutters in three dimensions and in large echelons. By establishing a combined force model of the loosening of the echelon wedge plow and the peeling of the scraper, the elevation difference of the leading cutter and the scraper arranged in echelons is calculated and determined, which extends the distance of continuous excavation without changing the cutter and improves the efficiency of shield tunneling. However, the optimized shield cutter elevation difference is only applicable to soft soil strata and cannot meet the needs of tunneling in rock strata.

[0009] In summary, the existing cutter geological adaptability design methods are mostly focused on optimizing the cutter material, structural shape, cutter spacing, cutter height difference, etc., and are unable to adapt to the actual needs of the cutter excavation function changing accordingly with the alternating changes in soft and hard composite strata. The cutter is prone to abnormal wear when it is not adapted to the geological conditions, and the shield excavation efficiency and project construction costs are significantly improved. Summary of the invention

[0011] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the long-distance composite stratum shield guide cutter and roller cutter interchange device designed by the present invention includes a shield tool holder, which is an equilateral cross structure, wherein the guide cutter and the roller cutter are installed at two adjacent ends, and the other two ends are a guide cutter seat for installing the guide cutter and a roller cutter seat for installing the roller cutter, and the end of the guide cutter seat and the end of the roller cutter seat are both provided with a cylinder flange for connecting the tool changing cylinder.

[0016] Preferably, the hob cutter ring is a toothed cutter ring, and the outer edge of the toothed cutter ring is a cutter tooth made of tungsten carbide cemented carbide.

[0017] Preferably, the cutter teeth are fixed to the insert cutter ring by connecting bolts.

[0018] A method for using the device for exchanging the lead cutter and roller cutter of a long-distance composite stratum shield machine. When the shield machine enters a rock stratum from a soil stratum, the shield tool holder is pulled out, rotated 90° and then reinstalled, and the lead cutter at the corresponding position on the cutter head panel is replaced with the roller cutter. When the shield machine enters a soil stratum from a rock stratum, the shield tool holder is pulled out, rotated 90° and then reinstalled, and the roller cutter at the corresponding position on the cutter head panel is replaced with the lead cutter.

[0019] Preferably, when the shield tool holder is pulled out, the tool-changing cylinder is connected to the opposite cylinder flange via bolts, and the shield tool holder is pulled out using the tool-changing cylinder.

[0020] A method for using the device for exchanging a leading cutter and a roller cutter for a long-distance composite stratum shield, when replacing the leading cutter or the roller cutter, comprises the following steps:

[0021] A) Select a tool-changing cylinder with matching stroke specifications according to the structural dimensions of the leading tool holder and the hob holder, and connect the tool-changing cylinder to the opposite cylinder flange with bolts;

[0022] B) Use a hand chain hoist to hoist the tool limit cylinder so that it is on the same horizontal line as the center axis of the tool changing cylinder. Install the limit cylinder on the outside of the tool changing cylinder and connect it to the tool changing cylinder with bolts;

[0023] C) Pull back the excessively worn leading cutter or roller cutter in front by retracting the cutter changing cylinder. When the excessively worn leading cutter or roller cutter is completely retracted into the cutter compartment, immediately close the cutter changing gate to avoid water / slurry gushing;

[0024] D) Loosen the corresponding fixing bolts to remove the tool limit cylinder and tool changing cylinder in turn, and reinstall them at the cylinder flange position according to steps A) to C);

[0031] 4. The hardness of the smooth cutter ring alloy is designed to be 1.1 to 1.2 times the hardness of the excavation surface rock. It can not only effectively reduce the normal wear of the excavation surface rock on the cutter ring, but also effectively prevent the alloy from having too low toughness due to excessive hardness, causing the cutter ring to crack when impacting and colliding with high-hardness rocks.

[0051] Example 2

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, a device for exchanging a guide cutter and a roller cutter for a long-distance composite stratum shield machine comprises a shield tool holder 1, which is an equilateral cross structure, wherein a guide cutter 2 and a roller cutter 3 are installed at two adjacent ends, and the other two ends are a guide cutter seat 4 for installing the guide cutter 2 and a roller cutter seat 5 for installing the roller cutter 3, and the ends of the guide cutter seat 4 and the roller cutter seat 5 are both provided with a cylinder flange 6 for connecting the tool changing cylinder.

Specifically, a tungsten carbide wear-resistant alloy block 10 is welded in the middle of the guide blade 9, and tungsten carbide wedge-shaped wear-resistant alloy blocks 11 are welded on both sides. The size of the tungsten carbide wedge-shaped wear-resistant alloy block 11 is larger than the size of the tungsten carbide wear-resistant alloy block 10.

[0054] When this embodiment is in use, when the shield machine enters the rock layer from the soil layer, the shield tool holder 1 is pulled out, rotated 90° and then reinstalled, and the leading cutter 2 at the corresponding position on the cutter head panel is replaced with the roller cutter 3. When the shield machine enters the soil layer from the rock layer, the shield tool holder 1 is pulled out, rotated 90° and then reinstalled, and the roller cutter 3 at the corresponding position on the cutter head panel is replaced with the leading cutter 2.

During switching, when the shield machine enters the rock layer from the soil layer, the shield tool frame 1 is pulled out, rotated 90° clockwise and then reinstalled, and the guide cutter 2 at the corresponding position on the cutter head panel is replaced by the roller cutter 3. When the shield machine enters the soil layer from the rock layer, the shield tool frame 1 is pulled out, rotated 90° counterclockwise and then reinstalled, and the roller cutter 3 at the corresponding position on the cutter head panel is replaced by the guide cutter 2.

[0056] When replacing the leading cutter 2 or the hob 3, the following steps are included:

[0057] A) Select a tool-changing cylinder with matching stroke specifications according to the structural dimensions of the leading tool holder 4 and the hob holder 5, and connect the tool-changing cylinder to the cylinder flange 6 facing it through bolts;

[0058] B) Use a hand chain hoist to hoist the tool limit cylinder so that it is on the same horizontal line as the center axis of the tool changing cylinder. Install the limit cylinder on the outside of the tool changing cylinder and connect it to the tool changing cylinder with bolts;

[0059] C) Pull back the excessively worn leading cutter or roller cutter in front by retracting the cutter changing cylinder. When the excessively worn leading cutter 2 or roller cutter 3 is completely retracted into the cutter compartment, immediately close the cutter changing gate to avoid water / slurry gushing;

[0060] D) Loosen the corresponding fixing bolts to remove the tool limit cylinder and tool changing cylinder in turn, and reinstall them at the cylinder flange 6 according to steps A) to C);

[0061] E) Rotate the shield tool holder 1 to align the hob 3 or the leading cutter 2 with the installation position, open the tool change gate and install the hob 3 or the leading cutter 2 back to the hob seat 5 or the leading cutter seat 4;

[0063] Example 3

[0064] like Figure 1As shown, a device for exchanging a guide cutter and a roller cutter for a long-distance composite stratum shield machine comprises a shield tool holder 1, which is an equilateral cross structure, wherein a guide cutter 2 and a roller cutter 3 are installed at two adjacent ends, and the other two ends are a guide cutter seat 4 for installing the guide cutter 2 and a roller cutter seat 5 for installing the roller cutter 3, and the ends of the guide cutter seat 4 and the roller cutter seat 5 are both provided with a cylinder flange 6 for connecting the tool changing cylinder.

[0065] Among them, Figure 2 As shown, the guide knife 2 is fixedly mounted on the guide knife seat 4 through the tool mounting hole 7. The guide knife 2 includes a guide knife body 8 and a guide blade 9 located at the end of the guide knife body 8. The outline of the guide blade 9 is wedge-shaped, which can significantly reduce the resistance of the guide knife 2 when plowing the soil layer, alleviate the wear of the guide knife 2 and improve the cutting distance life. Specifically, a tungsten carbide wear-resistant alloy block 10 is welded in the middle of the guide blade 9, and tungsten carbide wedge-shaped wear-resistant alloy blocks 11 are welded on both sides. The size of the tungsten carbide wedge-shaped wear-resistant alloy block 11 is larger than the size of the tungsten carbide wear-resistant alloy block 10.

The hob body 12 is mounted on the hob seat 5 through a hob shaft 14. In this embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the hob cutter ring 13 is a smooth cutter ring 15. The smooth cutter ring 15 can be used in hard rock formations to crush the rock mass on the excavation surface. Its hardness is 1.1 to 1.2 times that of the rock on the excavation surface, specifically 1.2 times. While reducing the wear of the rock on the excavation surface on the smooth cutter ring 15, it can effectively prevent the smooth cutter ring 15 from being cracked due to excessive hardness. At the same time, Figure 4 As shown, the cutter ring 13 can also be a toothed cutter ring 16. The use of the toothed cutter ring 16 in soft rock formations can avoid eccentric wear caused by insufficient starting torque. Figure 5 As shown, the outer edge of the insert cutter ring 16 is a cutter tooth 17 made of tungsten carbide, and the cutter tooth 17 is fixed to the insert cutter ring 16 by connecting bolts 18. When part of the cutter teeth 17 is damaged, they can be replaced individually by loosening the connecting bolts 18. Compared with the traditional fixing method of directly welding the cutter teeth 17 to the insert cutter ring 16, the use of connecting bolts 18 can effectively reduce the usage and cost of the insert cutter ring 16.

[0067] When this embodiment is in use, when the shield machine enters the rock layer from the soil layer, the shield tool holder 1 is pulled out, rotated 90° and then reinstalled, and the leading cutter 2 at the corresponding position on the cutter head panel is replaced with the roller cutter 3.

[0069] When replacing the leading cutter 2 or the hob 3, the following steps are included:

[0070] A) Select a tool-changing cylinder with matching stroke specifications according to the structural dimensions of the leading tool holder 4 and the hob holder 5, and connect the tool-changing cylinder to the cylinder flange 6 facing it through bolts;

[0071] B) Use a hand chain hoist to hoist the tool limit cylinder so that it is on the same horizontal line as the center axis of the tool changing cylinder. Install the limit cylinder on the outside of the tool changing cylinder and connect it to the tool changing cylinder with bolts;

[0072] C) Pull back the excessively worn leading cutter or roller cutter in front by retracting the cutter changing cylinder. When the excessively worn leading cutter 2 or roller cutter 3 is completely retracted into the cutter compartment, immediately close the cutter changing gate to avoid water / slurry gushing;

[0073] D) Loosen the corresponding fixing bolts to remove the tool limit cylinder and tool changing cylinder in turn, and reinstall them at the cylinder flange 6 according to steps A) to C);

[0076] The present invention discloses a device for exchanging a forerunner cutter and a roller cutter for a long-distance composite stratum shield machine and a method for using the same. The shield cutter holder 1 is designed as an equilateral cross structure as a whole. During the replacement of the shield cutter, the forerunner cutter 2 and the roller cutter 3 can be safely and quickly exchanged by rotating 90 degrees. The shape and contour of the forerunner blade 9 is designed as a wedge-shaped structure. A small-sized tungsten carbide wear-resistant alloy block 10 is welded in the middle, and large-sized tungsten carbide wedge-shaped wear-resistant alloy blocks 11 are welded on both sides. The resistance of the forerunner cutter 2 when plowing the soil layer can be significantly reduced, the wear of the forerunner cutter 2 can be effectively alleviated, and the cutting distance and life of the cutter can be increased. The outer edge of the toothed cutter ring 16 is arranged with carbon The alloy cutter teeth 17 are connected to the cutter ring 13 by bolts instead of traditional welding. When some cutter teeth 17 are excessively worn or brittlely fractured, they can be replaced individually by loosening the bolts, which can effectively reduce the cutter ring consumption and the cost of changing cutters. The alloy hardness of the smooth cutter ring 15 is designed to be 1.1 to 1.2 times the hardness of the rock on the excavation surface, which can not only effectively reduce the normal wear of the rock on the excavation surface on the cutter ring 13, but also effectively prevent the alloy from having too low toughness due to excessive hardness, causing the cutter ring to crack when impacting and colliding with high-hardness rocks.
