Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of shield construction, and in particular to an intelligent control system for shield construction. Background Art

[0002] As a key underground engineering technology, shield construction is widely used in urban subway, tunnel and other construction projects. Effectively controlling the movement and construction parameters of the shield machine is the core issue to ensure construction efficiency and safety. Traditional control methods mostly rely on manual experience and simple algorithms, and often face challenges such as slow response speed and poor adaptability. This makes the research on intelligent control and direction adjustment methods of shield machines increasingly important.

[0003] Patent CN117685001A is based on PID control, which is a classic control strategy. It is widely used in various types of engineering equipment because of its simple structure and easy implementation. In the intelligent direction adjustment system of the shield machine based on PID control, the system can dynamically adjust the propulsion direction and speed of the shield machine through the feedback of real-time sensor data, significantly improving the accuracy and safety of construction. However, PID control is often not flexible enough when dealing with complex geological conditions; PID control relies on set gain parameters and is difficult to adjust adaptively, resulting in unsatisfactory performance in dynamic environments and difficulty in meeting the requirements of real-time regulation. In addition, PID control is usually applicable to linear systems. For nonlinear and complex systems, the effect of PID control may be limited and cannot effectively handle various emergencies; although PID control can be adjusted automatically, it still relies on manual setting of parameters, which increases the complexity of human-computer interaction and reduces the automation level of the system.

[0004] Patent CN117846629A model predictive control is a more advanced control method that can predict future system behavior by establishing a dynamic model and optimize the control strategy accordingly. In the shield intelligent adjustment system based on model predictive control, the shield machine's posture data, excavation parameters, geological parameters and geometric parameters are collected in real time, and the pressure signals of each partition propulsion cylinder are dynamically adjusted through the optimization algorithm to effectively respond to sudden geological changes. Its advantage is that it can combine real-time data for intelligent prediction, which improves the control accuracy and response speed of the shield machine. However, model predictive control (MPC) relies on an accurate system model. If there is a deviation between the model and the actual dynamic behavior of the shield machine, it may lead to poor control effect; MPC usually needs to perform optimization calculations in each control cycle, which will increase the computational burden, especially in real-time control. It may cause delays; and MPC has poor adaptability. When facing a changing environment and working conditions, the update and adjustment of the model may lag behind, thus affecting the real-time performance and safety of the shield machine. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention aims to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide an intelligent control system for shield construction, which can predict the key parameters in the shield construction process in real time to achieve intelligent control, significantly improve construction efficiency and safety, and ensure efficient, safe and stable operation of the construction process.

[0006] The problems solved by the present invention include:

[0008] (2) Real-time prediction enables intelligent control and enhanced construction safety: The pressure change in the soil bin is closely related to geological conditions, and traditional methods are difficult to respond to sudden geological conditions in a timely manner.

[0009] (3) Optimize construction efficiency and reduce construction risks: After the introduction of the intelligent control model, the system can automatically optimize key parameters and improve excavation efficiency.

[0010] (4) Coping with complex geological conditions and improving construction capabilities: The deep learning model enhances the system's ability to adapt to complex geology and achieves refined management.

[0011] (5) Intelligent transformation of old shield machines: The intelligent control module is connected to the PLC in the shield machine control room and is suitable for the transformation of old shield machines.

[0012] An intelligent control system for shield construction is developed. By installing the MATLAB program inside the industrial computer, the PSO-GA-D-FNN combined neural network model of deep learning intelligent control model is imported into the MATLAB program and connected with the PLC in the shield machine control room:

[0013] The system can read the current shield machine control parameters in real time and input them into the MATLAB program in the industrial computer for calculation:

[0014] Through the calculation results, the predicted value of the shield soil bin pressure at the next moment is output, as well as the propulsion speed, total thrust and screw conveyor speed required to achieve the target soil bin pressure, thereby realizing the advanced prediction and intelligent control of the shield soil bin pressure:

[0015] The system comprises:

[0016] (1) PLC control unit: used for data collection and transmission during the advancement of the shield machine;

[0024] Step 2) Calculate and predict the shield construction parameters collected and transmitted by the PLC control unit, and output the predicted parameter values ​​as the control parameters at the next moment.

[0025] Furthermore, data transmission between various units of the system is based on standardized data interface protocols to ensure compatibility between modules and accuracy of data.

[0026] Furthermore, the communication between the MATLAB program processing unit and the PLC adopts the OPC (OLE for Process Control) protocol to achieve seamless connection and sharing of data.

[0027] Furthermore, the system adopts a modular design based on a distributed architecture, so that the intelligent prediction module and control module can be distributed in various key parts of the shield machine.

At the same time, these processing results are transmitted to the PLC control unit through the wireless communication module, and the PLC control unit guides the shield machine actuator to achieve intelligent control, so as to quickly adjust the working status of each actuator to ensure the flexibility and efficiency of construction.

[0033] The present invention uses real-time prediction and analysis to intelligently adjust shield construction parameters and achieve unmanned control. The system monitors various parameters in real time during the construction process, effectively reducing manual intervention, and significantly improving construction safety and efficiency, especially under complex geological conditions. Unmanned control not only reduces the risk of human error, but also can quickly respond to emergencies and ensure the smooth progress of construction.

[0034] The present invention has efficient data transmission and sharing capabilities. Through the data sharing characteristics of the MATLAB dynamic link library, each module can achieve high-speed data transmission. The wireless communication module ensures that each module shares data in real time, thereby enhancing the collaborative efficiency of the system. This design not only reduces transmission delays, but also improves the accuracy and consistency of data, providing a guarantee for real-time monitoring.
