Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of tunnel boring machines, and in particular relates to a tool mechanism of a tunnel boring machine and a tool arrangement method. Background Art
[0002] With the development of transportation, municipal pipelines, water conservancy, and hydropower, more and more tunnel projects are being built, placing ever-higher demands on the performance of tunnel boring machines (TBMs). In particular, the cutterhead tool placement directly impacts the performance, efficiency, and construction costs of the TBM when operating in diverse geological conditions.
[0003] At present, in projects with mainly soft soil layers and a small amount of hard rock, if rollers are directly equipped, the starting torque of the rollers often cannot be achieved in softer layers, resulting in the rollers being unable to rotate and thus causing eccentric wear, affecting normal excavation in hard rock areas. The resulting multiple replacement of rollers also increases construction costs.
[0004] In traditional technology, research on how to avoid uneven wear of roller cutters in soft soil layers, which affects tunneling, has gradually emerged. For example, the related art discloses a technical solution that uses high-pressure fluid jets to replace roller cutters, but it needs to be equipped with multiple sets of nozzles, hydraulic pumps, superchargers and other devices, which increases the equipment and construction costs of tunneling machines sharply. The related art discloses a flexible composite cutterhead solution that reduces abnormal wear by setting multiple sets of oil cylinders to adjust the height of the roller cutters, but its structure is complex and has a great impact on the arrangement of the roller cutters on the cutterhead and the disassembly and assembly of the roller cutters. The related art discloses a tool box structure suitable for replacing roller cutters and tearing knives. Through this structure, suitable tools can be replaced according to the stratum, reducing abnormal wear of the tools, but its replaceable tool box structure is neither applicable to the common steel pipe cutter beam structure with simple structure and low manufacturing cost, nor can it complete the replacement between roller cutters and scrapers.

[0066] The present invention also provides a tunnel boring machine tool arrangement method, which adopts a tunnel boring machine tool mechanism of the above embodiment. On the scraper track corresponding to the pin-type scraper 2 that needs to be replaced, at least two of the pin-type scrapers 2 are arranged in each direction, and the directions of the two pin-type scrapers 2 are opposite. The two pin-type scrapers 2 are on both sides of the same cutter head beam 7; the tearing knife 31 on the cutter head beam 7 is arranged in a middle position avoiding the two pin-type scrapers 2.
[0067] Specifically, considering the forward and reverse scraper cutting problem of the cutter disc beam 7, at least one pin-type scraper 2 is arranged in each direction on the same scraper trajectory; considering the cutter disc overloading problem, the position of the replacement hob body 5 needs to be planned in advance, and the replaced hob body 5 should be arranged as evenly as possible to avoid overloading of the cutter disc beam 7.

Bolts are used to tighten the cutter shaft clamp 24 through the locking hole 25 and the mating hole 28, thereby securing the hob body 5. At least two pin-type scrapers 2 are positioned in each direction along the scraper path corresponding to the replacement pin-type scrapers 2, pointing in opposite directions. The two pin-type scrapers 2 are located on opposite sides of the same cutter beam 7. The tearing blade 31 on the cutter beam 7 is positioned midway between the two pin-type scrapers 2. The present invention can directly replace the roller cutter when encountering composite strata, thereby improving the adaptability of the cutterhead excavation; compared with the existing composite cutterheads on the market, the roller cutter is not used in soft soil strata, thereby avoiding the problem of uneven wear of the roller cutter due to the inability to reach the starting torque in soft soil strata; the overall design of the present invention is reasonable and the structure is simple, which not only improves the adaptability and excavation efficiency of the tunnel boring machine cutterhead, but also reduces the wear of the tool, saves construction costs, meets the market demand to a greater extent, and has great promotion value.
[0078] See also Figure 10 In a possible embodiment, the structure of the roller cutter box 3 adopts a non-linear design. In this case, due to the avoidance design, the tearing knife 31 can be arranged in the middle position of the paired pin-type scrapers 2.
[0079] refer to Figure 11 In a possible embodiment, the structure of the hob cutter box 3 can adopt another non-linear design. In this case, the pair of universal cutter seats that need to be replaced can be located at non-completely symmetrical positions on both sides of the cutter beam.
[0080] Although the present invention has been described in detail above using general descriptions and specific embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications and improvements may be made thereto. Therefore, such modifications and improvements, without departing from the spirit of the present invention, are intended to be within the scope of protection claimed herein.
