[0019] Step 1: Set up a platform at the center of the cutter head and install the drilling rig, and test the sealing performance of the aramid packing of the sealing device by pressurizing it to 0.5MPa for 5 minutes;

[0020] Step 2: Install a shockproof flange ball valve at the opening position of the back panel of the cutter disc, use a torque wrench to tighten the bolts to the preset torque, and install a shockproof gasket at the joint between the ball valve and the cutter disc;

[0023] Step 5: Evenly wrap the aramid packing around the high-pressure flushing hole and press it tightly to prevent blockage between the outer and inner tubes when the drill pipe is inserted;

[0024] Step 6: Install the first section of drill pipe to a certain distance from the gate valve, close the gate valve to prevent backflow, and the drill pipe is connected by a threaded casing and a rubber ring is provided at the connection;

[0025] Step 7: When opening the ball valve and gate valve, listen for abnormal noise in the pipeline and check for leakage in the connecting flange. Leakage points should be treated by replacing the sealing rubber gasket or re-tightening the bolts;

[0026] Step 8: Use the total station to position the drill rig, align the drill rod with the center of the mud cake, with a positioning error of ≤±2mm, and calibrate in real time through the displacement sensor;

[0027] Step 9: Move the drill pipe forward to the rear partition of the cutter head at a certain speed, turn on the high-pressure pump and air compressor for test flushing, and set the initial compressed air pressure to 0.6-0.8MPa and the mud flow rate to 90-360L / min;

[0028] Step 10: Control parameters in stages according to mud cake thickness: when mud cake thickness is greater than 100mm, the stepping speed is within a certain range, the mud pressure is 35-40MPa, and the compressed air pressure is 0.6-0.8MPa; when thickness is less than 100mm, the stepping speed is within another range, the mud pressure is 30-35MPa; when residual thickness is less than 5mm, the stepping speed is within another range, the mud pressure is 30-40MPa;

At the same time, through anti-wear design (nano-ceramic coating reduces adhesion by 50%) and drill pipe strengthening structure (double-layer pipe compressive strength +25%, leakage rate <0.1%), the equipment life was extended by more than 30%;

[0038] Second, integrated vibration suppression (shockproof ball valve + double casing reduces vibration by 60%), precision calibration (laser ranging ±0.5mm) and intelligent emergency response (pressure fluctuation control ±5%, seal repair 5-second response) ensure safe and stable construction, and rely on the rapid connection of segmented drill pipes (interruption time is halved) and green drive (carbon emissions are reduced by 35%) to achieve a double reduction of more than 20% in energy consumption and maintenance costs;

[0039] Thirdly, based on the quantitative classification of working conditions (propulsion speed reduced by 30%-50%, cutter disc torque increased by 20%-150%) and differentiated solutions, the heavy mud cake adopts the "manual crushing + 50MPa ultra-high pressure flushing" combined process, combined with full-process wireless sensor monitoring and standardized operations (17-step quantitative indicators), which improves the adaptability to complex working conditions and construction consistency by 80% respectively, and ultimately achieves a high-standard cleaning effect with mud cake residue of less than 5mm.
