Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of TBM tunneling parameter prediction, and particularly relates to a TBM tunneling parameter prediction method based on passive source seismic wave signals. Background Technique

[0002] TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine) has been widely used in tunnel excavation. The control of TBM tunneling parameters is crucial for the safe construction of tunnels. Currently, the adjustment of some main tunneling parameters (such as thrust value, torque value, cutterhead rotation speed value, tunneling speed) is mainly based on artificial experience and the geological exploration data provided in the early stage. However, due to the subjectivity of artificial experience and the uncertainty of geological conditions, it is impossible to provide a reliable and effective basis for the adjustment of tunneling parameters. Therefore, the adjustment of tunneling parameters usually cannot meet the construction needs, and it is easy to occur TBM jamming events in bad geological sections, resulting in construction period delays and increased construction costs.

[0003] During the TBM construction process, predicting the possible geological risks in front of the tunnel in advance has become an essential part of tunnel construction. According to the prediction results, the performance of the tunneling machine is evaluated and related tunneling parameters are adjusted in a timely and effective manner to achieve the purpose of reducing or eliminating geological disasters during the construction period and ensuring production safety.

[0004] Patent CN115711667A discloses a method for predicting TBM tunneling parameters based on vibration signals. During the TBM tunneling process, the vibration signals of the TBM are monitored, the main tunneling parameters of the TBM and the vibration data corresponding to the time are extracted, the tunneling parameters and vibration signals are split into training sets, validation sets and test sets according to the same time period, the vibration signals are processed, and the vibration data is subjected to wavelet transform to obtain time domain diagrams and frequency domain diagrams; a deep learning model of tunneling parameters and vibration time-frequency diagrams is established, and the model is trained with the training set data; through the test set data, the established model is optimized for errors; through the validation set data, the model indicators are evaluated; vibration signals are input into the model to predict tunneling parameters.

[0005] In the above patent, on the one hand, during the TBM tunneling process, the vibration signals of the TBM are monitored, but the geological changes that can be reflected by the vibration signals of the TBM are very limited. On the other hand, due to the training, testing and validation of the model, the input is the time domain diagram after wavelet transform of the vibration signal, and vibration signals are input into the model to predict tunneling parameters. Therefore, the prediction of TBM tunneling parameters in this patent is the prediction of the tunneling parameters at the current moment, and the input of the prediction model does not include the relevant characteristic parameters at different distances in front of the TBM tunneling face, and it is impossible to predict the tunneling parameters of the unexcavated area of the TBM at a long distance, and the prediction accuracy is also relatively low.

[0006] Therefore, how to improve the prediction method of TBM tunneling parameters in the prior art, enhance the prediction accuracy and reliability of TBM tunneling parameters for real-time dynamic adjustment, effectively improve the tunneling efficiency of TBM, and ensure the safe tunneling of the tunnel is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved at present. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for predicting TBM tunneling parameters based on passive source seismic wave signals, so as to improve the prediction method of TBM tunneling parameters in the prior art, enhance the prediction accuracy and reliability of TBM tunneling parameters for real-time dynamic adjustment, effectively improve the tunneling efficiency of TBM, and ensure the safe tunneling of the tunnel.

[0008] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0009] A method for predicting TBM tunneling parameters based on passive source seismic wave signals includes the following steps:

[0010] S1: Arrange a plurality of geophones at designated positions on the tunnel sidewall. When the TBM is tunneling normally, collect the passive source seismic wave signals propagated through the surrounding rock in real time. After the TBM advances a designated distance each time, re-arrange a plurality of geophones at the designated positions on the sidewall to collect the passive source seismic wave signals propagated through the surrounding rock;

[0011] S2: Convert the collected passive source seismic wave signals propagated through the surrounding rock into virtual source seismic records, convert the time-domain seismic records into distance-domain seismic records, and extract the reflected wave signals;

[0012] S3: Extract the instantaneous characteristic parameters of the reflected wave signals, and jointly construct an input vector matrix corresponding to the same type of tunneling parameters in the unexcavated area of the TBM in combination with the historical tunneling parameters of the TBM;

[0013] S4: Construct a hybrid neural network model based on CNN and Autoformer, obtain the optimal hyperparameter combination of the model to train the model, and determine the optimal hybrid neural network model through multi-fold cross-validation;

[0014] S5: Use the instantaneous characteristic parameters of the real-time collected seismic wave signals and the historical tunneling parameters of the TBM as the inputs of the network model at the same time to predict the optimal tunneling parameters at a designated distance in front of the TBM tunneling face.

[0015] Preferably, the specific process of step S1 is as follows:

[0016] S11: Drill holes to a depth of 30 cm or more into the surrounding rock, insert coupling rods, and connect the geophones to the coupling rods;

[0017] S12: When the TBM is tunneling normally, the cutterhead breaking rock will generate seismic wave signals. The passive source seismic wave signals after being propagated through the surrounding rock are collected by the arranged geophones.

[0018] S13: After the TBM tunnels a specified distance each time, steps S12 - S13 are iteratively executed.

[0019] Preferably, the number of arranged geophones is greater than or equal to 6, and the spacing is kept consistent when arranging the geophones. The time for collecting the passive source seismic wave signals after being propagated through the surrounding rock is not less than 15 minutes.

[0020] In order to collect the seismic wave signals after being propagated through the surrounding rock, the hole depth needs to be drilled more than 30 cm into the surrounding rock. Then, the geophones are fixed by the geophone coupling rod. Each data collection is carried out when the TBM is in a fully tunneling state. In order to ensure the effect of wave field characteristic restoration, long - time observation is required to obtain sufficient passive source data. Therefore, all geophones need to collect continuous vibration signals for not less than 15 minutes.

[0021] Preferably, the specific process of extracting the reflected wave signals in step S2 is as follows:

[0022] S21: The passive source seismic wave signals are segmented for seismic interference processing and superposition to obtain a seismic record with the first geophone point as the virtual source and the other points as the receiving points.

[0023] S22: The arrival time of the direct wave from the first geophone to the last geophone is extracted. Combining the arrival time of the direct wave and the distance, the direct wave velocity is calculated. Based on this velocity, the time - domain seismic record is converted into a distance - domain seismic record.

[0024] S23: The τ - p transform is used to filter out the direct wave and surface wave components in the distance - domain seismic record to extract the reflected wave signals in the seismic record.

[0025] For the virtual source seismic record obtained after processing the original signal and the extracted reflected wave signals, since the seismic record contains various types of signals, such as direct waves, surface waves, reflected waves, transmitted waves, etc., and the reflected wave is mainly generated by the change of the medium wave impedance, it can best reflect the change of the geological situation. Therefore, the τ - p transform algorithm is used to extract the reflected wave signals.

[0026] Preferably, in step S22, the specific formula for extracting the arrival time of the direct wave from the first geophone to the last geophone, combining the arrival time of the direct wave and the distance, and calculating the direct wave velocity is:

[0027] ;

[0028] ;

[0029] wherein , s i , t i are respectively the direct wave velocities of the i th ( i > 1) geophones with the first geophone as the seismic source, the distance between the i th ( i > 1) geophone and the first geophone, and the arrival time of the direct wave of the i th ( i > 1) geophone. v p is the finally calculated direct wave velocity, which is 3700 m / s. Based on this wave velocity, the time-domain seismic record is converted into a distance-domain seismic record.

[0030] Preferably, the specific process of extracting the instantaneous characteristic parameters of the reflected wave signal in step S3 and jointly constructing the input vector matrix corresponding to the same type of tunneling parameters in the unexcavated area of the TBM in combination with the TBM historical tunneling parameters is as follows:

[0031] S31: Perform intrinsic mode function decomposition on the reflected wave signal to achieve frequency-domain decomposition of the signal and effective separation of each component. In the separation result, filter out the ultra-high frequency and very low frequency components, where the ultra-high frequency is the component with a main frequency greater than 10000 Hz, and the very low frequency is the component with a main frequency less than 20 Hz;

[0032] S32: Perform Hilbert transform on the remaining components, calculate the instantaneous amplitude and instantaneous frequency of each component at different distance positions, and perform the same data processing on all seismic signals collected each time to obtain the instantaneous characteristic parameter matrix of the corresponding signals;

[0033] S33: Record the tunneling parameters of the TBM when tunneling through different positions of the tunnel, extract the tunneling parameters at a specified distance within the excavated area behind the predicted position, and jointly construct an input vector matrix with the instantaneous characteristic parameter matrix, and output the tunneling parameter value at a specified distance in front of the TBM tunneling face.

[0034] Instantaneous amplitude is a measure of reflection intensity, which can reflect the propagation and attenuation characteristics of seismic waves in different geological bodies. The change in instantaneous amplitude can indicate changes in formation lithology, the location of aquifers, and geological anomalies such as possible faults or cavities, and can also reflect the characteristics of the underground medium boundary. Instantaneous frequency is a measure of the phase time change rate, which is not affected by the energy magnitude and can reflect changes in the lithology of the formation. When seismic waves pass through some special formations, the high-frequency components will be strongly attenuated, which can reflect changes in the formation medium composition and possible geological structures such as faults and fracture zones, and can well identify the medium boundary. Therefore, instantaneous amplitude and instantaneous frequency are selected as characteristic quantities reflecting geological changes, which have a large correlation with tunneling parameters. In addition, due to the certain correlation in the time series of tunneling parameters before and after, the accuracy of short-distance prediction can be improved. Therefore, the tunneling parameters within a specified distance range in front of the predicted position are also used as input characteristic quantities for predicting the same type of tunneling parameters of the subsequent TBM. The selection range of TBM historical tunneling parameters is mainly selected in combination with the length of the predicted distance. The longer the predicted distance, the smaller the selection range of TBM historical tunneling parameters.

[0035] Preferably, in step S4, a hybrid neural network model based on CNN and Autoformer is constructed, the optimal hyperparameter combination of the model is obtained for training the model, and the specific process of determining the optimal hybrid neural network model through multi-fold cross-validation is as follows:

[0036] S41: The established hybrid neural network model is composed of a CNN network and an Autoformer network. The CNN network is stacked by two one-dimensional CNN layers and a max-pooling layer, and a dropout layer is added; the Autoformer network is composed of an encoder stack layer and a decoder stack layer;

[0037] S42: The CNN network model and the Autoformer network model are merged through the Concatenate layer, a dropout layer is added to prevent overfitting, and finally the output is through a fully connected layer;

[0038] S43: The instantaneous feature parameter matrix in step S32 and the time series of tunneling parameters within a specified distance in the excavated range behind the predicted position are respectively used as the inputs of the established hybrid CNN-Autoformer prediction model, and the output is set as the tunneling parameter value at a specified position in front of the TBM tunneling face;

[0039] S44: The Bayesian optimization algorithm is used to optimize the number of nodes in the CNN hidden layer, the number of encoder stack layers of the Autoformer, the number of decoder stack layers of the Autoformer, and the best initial learning rate in the model to obtain the optimal hyperparameter combination;

[0040] S45: Train the model based on the optimal hyperparameter combination, and select the corresponding optimal hybrid neural network model through multi-fold cross-validation.

[0041] The beneficial effects of the present invention include:

[0042] The method for predicting TBM tunneling parameters based on passive source seismic wave signals provided by the present invention arranges geophones to collect passive source seismic wave signals propagated through the surrounding rock, and rearranges the geophones to collect passive source seismic wave signals after the TBM advances a specified distance each time; converts the collected passive source seismic wave signals into virtual source seismic records, converts the time-domain seismic records into distance-domain seismic records, and extracts the reflected wave signals; extracts the instantaneous characteristic parameters of the reflected wave signals, and combines them with the historical tunneling parameters of the TBM to jointly construct an input vector matrix corresponding to predicting the same type of tunneling parameters in the unexcavated area of the TBM; constructs a hybrid neural network model based on CNN and Autoformer and trains it to determine the optimal hybrid neural network model; uses the instantaneous characteristic parameters of the real-time collected seismic wave signals and the historical tunneling parameters of the TBM as the inputs of the network model at the same time to predict the optimal tunneling parameters at a specified distance in front of the TBM tunneling face.

[0043] Since the vibration signals generated by the TBM during normal rock tunneling contain rich information related to the geological conditions of the surrounding rock after propagation in the surrounding rock, by collecting the passive source seismic wave signals, extracting the instantaneous characteristic parameters of the reflected wave signals therein, and combining them with the historical tunneling parameters of the TBM, they are jointly used as inputs for predicting the same type of tunneling parameters in the unexcavated area of the TBM. By constructing a hybrid deep learning neural network model, the prediction of the optimal tunneling parameters of the TBM is realized, which can effectively improve the tunneling efficiency of the TBM and ensure the safe tunneling of the tunnel. The present invention realizes the accurate prediction of the TBM tunneling parameters in the long-distance unexcavated area of the tunnel, and the collection of the passive source seismic wave signals has no impact on the normal construction of the TBM. It has a natural match for the parameter prediction of the TBM and can provide crucial safety guarantees for the future realization of intelligent tunneling of the TBM. Description of the Drawings

[0064] The following will further elaborate on the present invention in conjunction with the attached Figures 1 - 8 drawings:

[0065] Example 1

[0066] Refer to the attached Figure 1 drawings. A method for predicting TBM tunneling parameters based on passive source seismic wave signals includes the following steps:

[0067] S1: Arrange multiple geophones at specified positions on the tunnel sidewall. When the TBM is tunneling normally, collect the passive source seismic wave signals propagated through the surrounding rock in real time. After the TBM advances a specified distance each time, re-arrange multiple geophones at the specified positions on the sidewall to collect the passive source seismic wave signals propagated through the surrounding rock;

[0068] S2: Convert the collected passive source seismic wave signals propagated through the surrounding rock into virtual source seismic records, convert the time-domain seismic records into distance-domain seismic records, and extract the reflected wave signals;

[0069] S3: Extract the instantaneous characteristic parameters of the reflected wave signals, and jointly construct an input vector matrix corresponding to the same type of tunneling parameters in the unexcavated area of the TBM in combination with the historical tunneling parameters of the TBM;

[0070] S4: Construct a hybrid neural network model based on CNN and Autoformer, obtain the optimal hyperparameter combination of the model to train the model, and determine the optimal hybrid neural network model through multi-fold cross-validation;

[0071] S5: Use the instantaneous characteristic parameters of the real-time collected seismic wave signals and the historical tunneling parameters of the TBM as the inputs of the network model at the same time to predict the optimal tunneling parameters at a specified distance in front of the TBM tunneling face. The historical tunneling parameters of the TBM in step S3 and the optimal tunneling parameters at different distances in front of the TBM tunneling face predicted in S5 both include the thrust value, torque value, cutter head rotation speed value, and tunneling speed.

[0072] By performing modal decomposition and time-frequency analysis on the seismic wave signals generated during TBM tunneling, relevant instantaneous characteristic parameters are extracted to provide reliable seismic wave data support for the geological conditions at different positions of the tunnel. At the same time, combined with the historical tunneling thrust values of the TBM, they are jointly used as the input for predicting the tunneling thrust of the unexcavated area of the TBM. By constructing a hybrid neural network model based on CNN and Autoformer, reliable prediction of the TBM tunneling thrust value is achieved for real-time dynamic adjustment, effectively improving the tunneling efficiency of the TBM and ensuring the safe tunneling of the tunnel. Compared with the existing methods, on the one hand, the present invention learns a large amount of seismic wave data based on deep learning algorithms. By establishing the relationship between the instantaneous characteristics of seismic signals and the TBM tunneling thrust, the multi-solution problem of geophysical exploration inversion methods is reduced, and long-distance prediction of the TBM tunneling parameters in the unexcavated area of the tunnel is realized. On the other hand, the passive source seismic wave signal acquisition used has no impact on the normal construction of the TBM and has natural matching for the parameter prediction of the TBM, which can provide crucial safety guarantees for the future realization of intelligent tunneling of the TBM.

[0073] Example 2

[0074] On the basis of Example 1, the specific process of step S1 is as follows:

[0075] S11: Use the grouting holes on the tunnel support segments to drill into the surrounding rock more than 30 cm deep, insert the coupling rod, and connect the geophone to the coupling rod;

[0076] S12: When the TBM is tunneling normally, the cutter head breaking the rock will generate seismic wave signals. Use the arranged geophones to collect the passive source seismic wave signals after propagation through the surrounding rock;

[0077] S13: After the TBM advances every 50 m, iteratively execute steps S12 - S13.

[0078] The number of arranged geophones is greater than or equal to 6, and the spacing is kept consistent when arranging the geophones. The time for collecting the passive source seismic wave signals after propagation through the surrounding rock is not less than 15 minutes.

[0079] In order to collect the seismic wave signals after propagation through the surrounding rock, it is necessary to drill the hole depth more than 30 cm into the surrounding rock. Then, use the geophone coupling rod to fix the geophone. Each data collection is carried out when the TBM is in a fully tunneling state. In order to ensure the effect of wave field characteristic restoration, long-term observation is required to obtain sufficient passive source data. Therefore, all geophones need to collect continuous vibration signals for not less than 15 minutes.

[0080] See Figure 2 (a), Figure 2Field layout photo of the geophones in (b). In the double-shield TBM construction tunnel, a total of 6 geophones were arranged on the left wall at the site, and the distance between adjacent geophones was 3.6 m. Since the tunnel was supported by segments with a length of 1.8 m, in order to collect the seismic wave signals propagated through the surrounding rock, first, boreholes were drilled using the grouting holes, and the hole depth was drilled 30 cm into the surrounding rock. Then, the geophones were fixed using the coupling rod and based on a strong magnet. The seismic wave signals were collected every 50 m of TBM tunneling. Each collection was carried out when the TBM was in a fully tunneling state. In order to ensure the effect of wave field characteristic restoration, long-term observation was required to obtain sufficient passive source data. Therefore, all geophones collected continuous vibration signals for no less than 15 minutes, and a total of 91 data sets were collected. At the same time, the TBM tunneling thrust corresponding to each ring within the tunneling range was recorded, and the average value of the thrust values for each ring was taken, with a total of 2530 rings and a total length of 4554 m.

[0081] Example 3

[0082] Based on Example 1 or Example 2, the specific process of extracting the reflected wave signal in step S2 is as follows:

[0083] S21: Perform seismic interference processing and stacking on the passive source seismic wave signals in segments to obtain a seismic record with the first geophone point as the virtual source and the remaining points as the receiving points;

[0084] S22: Extract the arrival time of the direct wave from the first geophone to the last geophone. Combine the arrival time of the direct wave and the distance to calculate the direct wave velocity. Based on this velocity, convert the time-domain seismic record to a distance-domain seismic record. The specific formula for calculating the direct wave velocity is:

[0085] ;

[0086] ;

[0087] In the formula , s i , t i are the direct wave velocities with the first geophone as the source, the i th ( i > 1) geophone, the i th ( i > 1) distance between the geophone and the first geophone, and the arrival time of the direct wave of the i th ( i > 1) geophone, respectively. v p is the finally calculated direct wave velocity, which is 3700 m / s. Based on this wave velocity, the time-domain seismic record is converted to a distance-domain seismic record.

[0088] S23: Filter the direct wave and surface wave components in the distance-domain seismic record using the τ-p transform to extract the reflected wave signal in the seismic record.

[0089] The virtual source seismic record obtained after processing the original signal and the extracted reflected wave signal. Since the seismic record contains various types of signals, such as direct waves, surface waves, reflected waves, transmitted waves, etc., and the reflected wave is mainly generated by the change of the medium wave impedance, it can best reflect the change of the geological situation. Therefore, the τ-p transform algorithm is used to extract the reflected wave signal.

[0090] Example 4

[0091] Based on Example 1 or Example 2 or Example 3, refer to Figure 3 (a), Figure 3 (b) The virtual source seismic record obtained after processing the original signal, and the extracted main reflected wave signal. The specific process of jointly constructing the input vector matrix corresponding to the same type of tunneling parameters in the unexcavated area of the TBM by extracting the instantaneous characteristic parameters of the reflected wave signal in step S3 and combining with the TBM historical tunneling parameters is as follows:

[0092] S31: Perform intrinsic mode function decomposition on the reflected wave signal to achieve frequency-domain decomposition of the signal and effective separation of each component. Filter out the ultra-high frequency and very low frequency components in the separation result. The ultra-high frequency is the component with a main frequency greater than 10000 Hz, and the very low frequency is the component with a main frequency less than 20 Hz;

[0093] S32: Perform Hilbert transform on the remaining components, calculate the instantaneous amplitude and instantaneous frequency of each component at different distance positions, and perform the same data processing on all seismic signals collected each time to obtain the instantaneous characteristic parameter matrix of the corresponding signal;

[0094] S33: Record the tunneling parameters of the TBM when tunneling through different positions of the tunnel, extract the tunneling parameters of the specified distance in the already excavated area behind the predicted position, and construct the input vector matrix together with the instantaneous characteristic parameter matrix, and the output is set to the tunneling parameter value at the specified distance in front of the TBM tunneling face.

[0095] Instantaneous amplitude is a measure of reflection intensity, which can reflect the propagation and attenuation characteristics of seismic waves in different geological bodies. The change of instantaneous amplitude can indicate the change of formation lithology, the location of aquifers, and geological anomalies such as possible faults or cavities, and can also reflect the characteristics of the underground medium boundary. Instantaneous frequency is a measure of the phase time change rate, which is not affected by the energy size and can reflect the lithology change of the formation. When seismic waves pass through some special formations, the high-frequency components will be strongly attenuated, which can reflect the change of formation medium composition and possible geological structures such as faults and fracture zones, and can identify the medium boundary well. Therefore, instantaneous amplitude and instantaneous frequency are selected as characteristic quantities reflecting geological changes, which have a large correlation with tunneling parameters. In addition, due to the certain correlation of the time series before and after tunneling parameters, the accuracy of short-distance prediction can be improved. Therefore, the tunneling parameters within a specified distance range before the prediction position are also used as input characteristic quantities for predicting the same type of tunneling parameters of the subsequent TBM. The selection range of TBM historical tunneling parameters is mainly selected in combination with the length of the predicted distance. The longer the predicted distance, the smaller the selection range of TBM historical tunneling parameters. See Figure 4 (a)、 Figure 4 (b)、 Figure 4 (c)、 Figure 4 (d)、 Figure 4 (e)、 Figure 4 (f), the instantaneous amplitude and instantaneous frequency of each component at different distance positions after filtering. Since there is a certain correlation in the time series before and after the tunneling parameters, which can improve the accuracy of short-distance prediction, the thrust value within a specified distance range before the prediction position is also used as an input characteristic quantity for predicting the subsequent TBM tunneling thrust value. See Figure 5 , the average thrust value of each ring of the recorded TBM thrust at different positions, with a total of 2530 rings and a total length of 4554m.

[0096] Example 5

[0097] Based on Example 1 or Example 2 or Example 3 or Example 4, in step S4, a hybrid neural network model based on CNN and Autoformer is constructed, the optimal hyperparameter combination of the model is obtained to train the model, and the specific process of determining the optimal hybrid neural network model through multi-fold cross-validation is as follows:

[0098] S41: The established hybrid neural network model is composed of a CNN network and an Autoformer network. The CNN network is composed of two one-dimensional CNN layers and a max-pooling layer stacked, and a dropout layer is added; the Autoformer network is composed of an encoder stack layer and a decoder stack layer;

[0099] S42: Merge the CNN network model and the Autoformer network model through a Concatenate layer, add a dropout layer to prevent overfitting, and finally output through a fully connected layer;

[0100] S43: Use the instantaneous feature parameter matrix in step S32 and the time series of tunneling parameters within a specified distance in the already excavated area behind the predicted position as the inputs of the established hybrid CNN-Autoformer prediction model, and set the output to the tunneling parameter values at a specified position in front of the TBM tunneling face;

[0101] S44: Use the Bayesian optimization algorithm to optimize the number of nodes in the CNN hidden layer, the number of encoder stacks and decoder stacks in Autoformer, and the optimal initial learning rate in the model to obtain the optimal hyperparameter combination;

[0102] S45: Train the model based on the optimal hyperparameter combination and select the corresponding optimal hybrid neural network model through multi-fold cross-validation.

[0103] See Figure 7 (a), Figure 7 (b). The input of the CNN network model is the instantaneous feature amplitude and instantaneous frequency of the reflected wave signal at different positions. First, use min-max normalization to preprocess the input data and adjust it to the standard scale (between 0 and 1) to obtain the input of the convolutional layer, with the shape of (B, T, 2), where B is the input batch size, T is the time step, and 2 represents the two features of instantaneous amplitude and instantaneous frequency. After entering the convolutional layer, use multiple convolutional kernels to extract local features. The size of the convolutional kernel can be adjusted according to the characteristics of the data. Usually, a smaller convolutional kernel (such as 3x3) is selected to capture local relationships. Activation function: Use the ReLU activation function to introduce non-linearity. Then enter the max pooling layer to reduce the dimension of the data, reduce the computational amount, and add a dropout layer with a dropout probability of 0.2 to reduce overfitting. Finally, use the flatten layer to flatten the output of the convolutional layer into a one-dimensional vector to obtain the output with the shape of (B, T, CNN_output_size), where B is the batch size, T is the time step, and CNN_output_size is the amount of features extracted by the CNN network for merging with the output of Autoformer.

[0104] The input of the Autoformer network model is the excavated multi-ring TBM tunneling thrust time series, that is, 1D time series data with the shape of (B, T, 1), where B is the batch size and T is the time step. This data is input into a multi-layer encoder stack layer, and each stack layer contains an auto-correlation mechanism and a feed-forward network to calculate the auto-correlation of the time series, discover the periodic patterns in the time series, and perform non-linear transformation on the features. The input of the decoder stack layer consists of: the output of the encoder stack layer and the trend part decomposed from the time series. After being processed by the auto-correlation mechanism and the feed-forward network in the decoder stack layer, the time series feature representation after multi-layer decoding is obtained, and these features contain the prediction information of future time steps. The output of this Autoformer is a time series with the shape of (B, T, 1), representing the prediction of the TBM tunneling thrust.

[0105] By processing through the above two networks respectively, the local features of multi-variables (instantaneous amplitude and instantaneous frequency of seismic wave signals) and the long-term dependence relationship of the TBM thrust time series can be effectively extracted. Then, the Concatenate layer is used to merge the output of the CNN part and the output of the Autoformer decoder in the feature dimension, and the merged shape is (B, T, CNN_output_size + 1). Then it enters the dropout layer with a dropout probability of 0.25 to prevent overfitting. Finally, the merged feature vector is mapped to the final output dimension through a fully connected layer, and a scalar value is finally output, that is, the predicted TBM tunneling thrust value.

[0106] Based on Bayesian optimization, the optimal hyperparameters are obtained for model training. The mean squared error (MSE) is used as the loss function to measure the difference between the predicted value and the true value. The corresponding optimal hybrid neural network model is selected through 10-fold cross-validation. See Figure 7 Comparison chart of the prediction results obtained by the optimal hybrid neural network model on the training set data and the best thrust value adopted during actual tunneling. Extract the instantaneous characteristic parameters of the newly collected seismic wave signals and use them as the input of the network model together with the TBM historical tunneling parameters to predict the optimal tunneling parameters at different distances in front of the TBM tunneling face.

[0107] Figure 8 (a), Figure 8Figure (b) shows the comparison results between the predicted average thrust values of the 10th ring (18 m) and the 20th ring (36 m) in front of the TBM tunneling face using the newly extracted data and the optimal thrust values adopted during actual tunneling. From the comparison results, it can be seen that the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) values reach 6.27% and 7.34% respectively, and the root mean square error (RMSE) values are 1177.19 and 1417.85 respectively. The method proposed in the present invention can accurately predict the optimal thrust value of the unexcavated area in front of the TBM tunneling face. Since the independent variables used to predict the TBM tunneling thrust value include the instantaneous characteristic parameters of the seismic signal indicating the change of the geological conditions in front of the tunnel, it can provide reliable data support for the prediction of the long-distance thrust value. At the same time, the tunneling thrust of the excavated section of the TBM is also used as an independent variable, which improves the prediction result of the short-distance thrust value.

[0108] In summary, for the TBM tunneling parameter prediction method based on the passive source seismic wave signal provided by the present invention, since the vibration signal generated during the normal rock-breaking tunneling of the TBM contains rich information related to the surrounding rock geological conditions after propagating through the surrounding rock, by collecting this passive source seismic wave signal and extracting the instantaneous characteristic parameters of the reflected wave signal, and at the same time combining the historical tunneling parameters of the TBM, they are jointly used as the input for predicting the same type of tunneling parameters in the unexcavated area of the TBM. By constructing a hybrid deep learning neural network model, the prediction of the optimal tunneling parameters of the TBM is realized, which can effectively improve the tunneling efficiency of the TBM and ensure the safe tunneling of the tunnel. The present invention realizes the accurate prediction of the TBM tunneling parameters in the long-distance unexcavated area of the tunnel, and the collection of the passive source seismic wave signal does not have any impact on the normal construction of the TBM. It has a natural matching for the parameter prediction of the TBM and can provide a crucial safety guarantee for the future realization of the intelligent tunneling of the TBM.
