[0002] As a carrier for cutters, the cylindrical internal space of the cutter barrel of a shield machine is prone to form a slag accumulation layer due to the centrifugal accumulation and frictional adhesion of muck. The slag accumulation leads to an increase in cutter load, a decrease in slag discharge efficiency, and an aggravation of equipment wear, directly affecting the continuous tunneling ability and construction safety of the shield machine.

[0003] Some existing technologies propose to clean the inner wall through mechanical transmission or fluid flushing, but generally there are problems such as complex transmission structures and unstable cleaning effects. For example, it is difficult for a traditional planetary gear transmission mechanism to simultaneously achieve the coordinated movement of the revolution and rotation of the slag removal roller, resulting in insufficient cleaning coverage; while the fixed-angle scraper cannot adapt to slag accumulations of different thicknesses and is prone to damage the inner wall of the cutter barrel due to rigid contact. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new slag removal mechanism that can efficiently and adaptively clean the slag accumulation on the inner wall of the cutter barrel, and at the same time has a compact structure and stable operation.

[0013] As a further improvement of the present invention, a plurality of slag discharge grooves are arranged in an annular array on the inner wall of the cutter barrel.

[0014] A method for preventing slag accumulation inside the cutter barrel of a shield machine uses the above-mentioned device for preventing slag accumulation inside the cutter barrel of a shield machine, and includes the following steps: After the rotary drive shield machine starts, the cutter barrel rotates with the main machine, and the top hob cuts the rock and soil synchronously. Due to the spiral direction of the slag discharge grooves on the inner wall of the cutter barrel being the same as the rotation direction of the cutter barrel, an initial centrifugal slag discharge force is formed, and part of the loose accumulated slag moves along the slag discharge grooves towards the bottom slag discharge ports; The reciprocating lead screw is driven to rotate by a driving source. The rotating shaft one is driven by the planetary gear assembly to rotate around the reciprocating lead screw as an axis while rotating self - rotatably. The rotating plate rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft one. The scraping assembly rotates along with the rotating plate in contact with the inner wall of the cutter barrel. The scraping assembly scrapes the mud and slag on the inner wall of the cutter barrel, and the slag removal roller can rotate self - rotatably to remove the mud and slag that is more firmly adhered to the inner wall of the cutter barrel.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention: 1. By arranging an inner wall slag remover inside the cutter barrel, the inner wall slag removing mechanism includes a reciprocating lead screw, a slag removing roller and a slag scraping component. The reciprocating lead screw can drive the slag removing roller to rotate around the reciprocating lead screw as the axis while rotating itself, and can drive the slag scraping component to rotate intermittently while rotating around the reciprocating lead screw. Both the slag removing roller and the slag scraping component can clean the accumulated slag on the inner wall of the cutter barrel. The compound revolution and rotation movement of the slag removing roller can break hard caked lumps. The intermittent rotation of the slag scraping component is precise, realizing full inner wall coverage cleaning. The two form a shear force field through spatial staggered layout, taking into account the differential treatment of loose slag layers and stubborn slag layers, greatly improving the effect of cleaning the inner wall of the cutter barrel and effectively preventing mud slag accumulation.

[0016] 2. By installing a cleaning component on the reciprocating lead screw, the cleaning component includes a lifting block and cleaning brushes and cleaning plates installed on both sides of the lifting block. The rotation of the reciprocating lead screw drives the lifting block to move up and down. The cleaning brushes can clean the slag removing roller, and the cleaning plates can scrape the mud slag adhered to the scraper, avoiding the adhesion of mud slag on the slag removing roller and the scraper and improving the slag removal effect on the cutter barrel.

[0017] 3. By rotatably installing a driving fan at the lower end of the end cover, the lower end of the reciprocating lead screw passes through the end cover and is fixedly connected to the axis of the driving fan. There are water circulation openings at the edge of the end cover. When the circulating water inside the shield machine or the external high-pressure water enters and exits the cutter barrel through the water circulation openings, it will drive the driving fan to rotate, and the driving fan drives the reciprocating lead screw to rotate, thereby providing power for the operation of the entire inner wall slag removing mechanism, eliminating the need to set up a power source and consuming less energy.

[0018] 4. By arranging a plurality of slag discharge grooves in a circular array on the inner wall of the cutter barrel, the slag discharge grooves are arranged in a spiral shape. A plurality of slag discharge ports are arranged in a circular array at the bottom of the cutter barrel, and each slag discharge port is respectively communicated with the lower end of the corresponding slag discharge groove. The spiral direction of the slag discharge groove is the same as the rotation direction of the cutter barrel. When the cutter barrel rotates, the centrifugal force generated and the spiral structure will jointly push the mud slag to move along the slag discharge groove and finally discharge from the slag discharge port. If the spiral direction is opposite to the rotation direction, the slag discharge groove will generate a reverse thrust on the muck when the cutter barrel rotates, resulting in a decrease in slag discharge efficiency or even blockage.

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Apparently, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present disclosure described and illustrated herein can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present disclosure is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure claimed, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0022] Refer to Figures 1 to 4As shown in the figure, this is a specific implementation of the slag accumulation prevention device inside the cutter barrel of a shield machine according to the present invention, including a cutter barrel 1. A hob 101 is rotatably installed at the top of the cutter barrel 1. An inner wall slag removal mechanism 2 is installed inside the cutter barrel 1. The inner wall slag removal mechanism 2 includes an end cover 201, a rotating plate 202, a slag removal roller 203 and a slag scraping assembly 204. The end cover 201 is fixedly installed inside the cutter barrel 1. The rotating plate 202 is rotatably installed at the upper end of the end cover 201. A first rotating shaft 212 and a second rotating shaft 213 are rotatably installed at the edge of the rotating plate 202. The slag removal roller 203 is fixedly installed on the first rotating shaft 212. The slag scraping assembly 204 is installed on the second rotating shaft 213. A reciprocating lead screw 205 is rotatably installed at the center of the end cover 201. A planetary gear assembly 210 is installed inside the end cover 201. The reciprocating lead screw 205 is connected to the first rotating shaft 212 through the planetary gear assembly 210. The reciprocating lead screw 205 can drive the first rotating shaft 212 to rotate around the reciprocating lead screw 205 while rotating itself. Both the slag removal roller 203 and the slag scraping assembly 204 can clean the accumulated slag on the inner wall of the cutter barrel 1. Since the reciprocating lead screw 205 can drive the first rotating shaft 212 to rotate around the reciprocating lead screw 205 while rotating itself, the reciprocating lead screw 205 can drive the rotating plate 202 to rotate. And the slag scraping assembly 204 is installed on the rotating plate 202, so the slag scraping assembly 204 also rotates in contact with the inner wall of the cutter barrel 1. The slag scraping assembly 204 scrapes the mud slag on the inner wall of the cutter barrel 1. And since the slag removal roller 203 can rotate itself, it can remove the mud slag that is relatively firmly adhered to the inner wall of the cutter barrel 1. The two cooperate, greatly improving the cleaning effect of the inner wall of the cutter barrel 1 and effectively preventing mud slag accumulation.

[0023] In a further embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, the planetary gear assembly 210 includes a sun gear 2101, an internal gear ring 2102 and a planetary gear 2103. The sun gear 2101 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the reciprocating lead screw 205. The planetary gear 2103 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the first rotating shaft 212. The internal gear ring 2102 is fixedly installed inside the end cover 201. The internal gear ring 2102 is coaxially arranged with the sun gear 2101. The planetary gear 2103 meshes with both the sun gear 2101 and the internal gear ring 2102. Driving the reciprocating lead screw 205 to rotate drives the sun gear 2101 to rotate. Under the combined action of the sun gear 2101 and the internal gear ring 2102, the planetary gear 2103 rotates around the reciprocating lead screw 205 while rotating itself, thereby driving the first rotating shaft 212 and the slag removal roller 203 to move synchronously.

[0024] In a further embodiment, a Geneva drive 211 is provided inside the end cap 201. The Geneva drive 211 includes a driving wheel 2111 and a driven wheel 2112. The driving wheel 2111 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the sun gear 2101, and the driven wheel 2112 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the second rotating shaft 213. The driving wheel 2111 can intermittently drive the driven wheel 2112 to rotate. As Figure 6 shown, a positioning plate 2113 and a pushing column 2114 are fixedly installed at the upper end of the driving wheel 2111. The positioning plate 2113 is coaxially arranged with the driving wheel 2111. The pushing column 2114 is arranged on one side of the positioning plate 2113. An arc-shaped groove is provided on one side of the positioning plate 2113, and the position of the arc-shaped groove corresponds to the position of the pushing column 2114. A plurality of positioning grooves and notches 2115 are arranged in a circular array at the edge of the driven wheel 2112, and the plurality of positioning grooves and the plurality of notches 2115 are arranged alternately. The positioning plate 2113 is attached to one of the positioning grooves, and the position of the pushing column 2114 corresponds to the position of the notch 2115. When the reciprocating lead screw 205 rotates, it drives the driving wheel 2111 to rotate synchronously, while the driven wheel 2112 rotates with the rotating plate 202. Since the angular velocity of the rotation of the reciprocating lead screw 205 is greater than the angular velocity of the rotation of the rotating plate 202, the driving wheel 2111 rotates relative to the driven wheel 2112. Before the pushing column 2114 reaches the notch 2115, the positioning plate 2113 acts on the positioning groove to ensure that the driven wheel 2112 does not rotate by itself. When the pushing column 2114 reaches the corresponding notch 2115, it acts on the corresponding notch 2115, driving the driven wheel 2112 to rotate a specific angle, achieving an intermittent driving effect. The slag scraping assembly 204 includes a bracket 2041 and a plurality of scraping plates 2042. The bracket 2041 is fixedly installed on the second rotating shaft 213, and the plurality of scraping plates 2042 are arranged in a circular array at the edge of the bracket 2041. The driven wheel 2112 rotates intermittently, driving the bracket 2041 to rotate intermittently, and intermittently switching the scraping plates 2042 that are in contact with the cutter cylinder 1.

[0025] In a further embodiment, as Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, a plurality of telescopic cavities 2046 are arranged in an annular array at both ends of the bracket 2041. Telescopic rods 2043 are fixedly installed at both ends of the scraping plate 2042. Each telescopic rod 2043 penetrates into the corresponding telescopic cavity 2046. A moving plate 2044 is fixedly installed at one end of the telescopic rod 2043. A spring 2045 is arranged in the telescopic cavity 2046. One end of the spring 2045 is fixedly installed at one end of the telescopic cavity 2046, and the other end of the spring 2045 is fixedly connected to the moving plate 2044. When the scraping plate 2042 is pushed towards the bracket 2041, the telescopic rod 2043 will drive the moving plate 2044 to compress the spring 2045, and the telescopic rod 2043 will retract into the telescopic cavity 2046, so that the scraping plate 2042 has a certain range of movement. Under the elastic force of the spring 2045, the scraping plate 2042 can squeeze the inner wall of the cutter cylinder 1 with a certain pressure, which is more conducive to scraping the mud residue on the inner wall of the cutter cylinder 1. When the mud residue is adhered firmly, the scraping plate 2042 can retract to avoid blocking the normal rotation of the slag scraping assembly 204.

[0026] In a further embodiment, as Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, a cleaning assembly 206 is installed on the reciprocating screw 205, and the cleaning assembly 206 includes a screw nut 2061 and a lifting block 2062. The screw nut 2061 is sleeved on the reciprocating screw 205 and cooperates with it. The lifting block 2062 is sleeved on the screw nut 2061. A guide rod 207 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the rotating plate 202. The guide rod 207 is inserted through the lifting block 2062. A cleaning brush 2063 is fixedly installed on one end of the lifting block 2062. The cleaning brush 2063 is in contact with the slag removal roller 203. A cleaning plate 2064 is fixedly installed on the other end of the lifting block 2062, and the cleaning plate 2064 is arranged in contact with one of the scrapers 2042. Since the angular velocity of the reciprocating screw 205 is greater than that of the rotating plate 202, the reciprocating screw 205 rotates relative to the guide rod 207. The rotation of the reciprocating screw 205 drives the screw nut 2061 and the lifting block 2062 to move up and down in a reciprocating manner. The cleaning brush 2063 cleans the mud residue adhered to the surface of the slag removal roller 203, and the cleaning plate 2064 cleans the mud residue adhered to the surface of the scraper 2042. The scraper 2042 is provided with a bevel on one side, which cooperates with the structural setting in the telescopic cavity 2046. When there is slag that is firmly bonded on the inner wall of the knife cylinder 1, the slag contacts the bevel to push the telescopic rod 2043 to retract, and the scraper 2042 staggers the firm slag to avoid blocking the normal rotation of the scraper assembly 204. The cleaning plate 2064 is provided with a bevel on the side facing the bevel, and the inclination degree of the bevel is the same as that of the bevel, so that the cleaning plate 2064 can fit tightly with the scraper 2042. When the cleaning plate 2064 moves up and down, the scraper 2042 can be cleaned more effectively. At the same time, when the scraper 2042 is switched, the cleaning plate 2064 acts on the bevel to facilitate the retraction of the scraper 2042 and avoid affecting the rotation of the scraper assembly 204.

[0027] In a further embodiment, a driving fan 208 is rotatably installed at the lower end of the end cover 201. The lower end of the reciprocating lead screw 205 passes through the end cover 201 and is fixedly connected to the axis of the driving fan 208. A water circulation port 209 is provided at the edge of the end cover 201. When the circulating water inside the shield machine or the external high-pressure water (such as formation seepage water, grouting water) enters and exits the cutter barrel 1 through the water circulation port 209, it will drive the driving fan 208 to rotate. The driving fan 208 drives the reciprocating lead screw 205 to rotate, thereby providing power for the operation of the entire inner wall slag removal mechanism 2. Through the self-powered design driven by water flow, the inner wall slag removal mechanism 2 realizes operation without external power connection, significantly reducing energy consumption and equipment complexity. The linkage structure between the driving fan 208 and the reciprocating lead screw 205 is compact and efficient, converting the natural kinetic energy of the circulating water or external water source into mechanical power, avoiding both the energy consumption and heat dissipation problems of traditional motor drive, and ensuring the stability of the slag removal operation through the persistence of fluid power. The layout of the water circulation port 209 takes into account both the circulation efficiency and the sealing performance, ensuring reliable operation under complex working conditions, reducing maintenance requirements, and improving the overall economy and environmental adaptability of the equipment.

[0028] In a further embodiment, a plurality of slag discharge grooves 103 are arranged in a circular array on the inner wall of the cutter barrel 1. The slag discharge grooves 103 are arranged in a spiral shape. A plurality of slag discharge ports 104 are arranged in a circular array at the bottom of the cutter barrel 1. Each of the slag discharge ports 104 is communicated with the lower end of the corresponding slag discharge groove 103. The spiral direction of the slag discharge groove 103 is the same as the rotation direction of the cutter barrel 1. When the cutter barrel 1 rotates, the centrifugal force generated and the spiral structure will jointly push the mud slag to move along the slag discharge groove 103 and finally discharge from the slag discharge port 104. If the spiral direction is opposite to the rotation direction, the slag discharge groove 103 will generate a reverse thrust on the muck when the cutter barrel 1 rotates, resulting in a reduction in slag discharge efficiency or even blockage.

[0029] In a further embodiment, two scraping plates 102 are symmetrically and fixedly installed at the upper end of the cutter barrel 1. One side of the two scraping plates 102 facing each other is attached to the hob 101 to scrape the mud slag adhered to the hob 101 at the upper end of the cutter barrel 1.

[0030] A method for preventing slag accumulation inside the cutter barrel of a shield machine uses the above-mentioned device for preventing slag accumulation inside the cutter barrel of a shield machine, and includes the following steps: After the rotary drive shield machine is started, the cutter barrel 1 rotates with the main machine, and the top hob 101 synchronously cuts the rock and soil. The slag discharge grooves 103 on the inner wall of the cutter barrel 1 form an initial centrifugal slag discharge force due to the spiral direction being consistent with the rotation direction of the cutter barrel 1, and part of the loose accumulated slag moves along the slag discharge grooves 103 towards the bottom slag discharge ports 104; The reciprocating lead screw 205 is driven to rotate by a driving source. The planetary gear assembly 210 drives the first rotating shaft 212 to rotate around the reciprocating lead screw 205 as an axis while performing self-rotation. The rotating plate 202 rotates synchronously with the first rotating shaft 212. Driven by the rotating plate 202, the slag scraping assembly 204 also rotates along the inner wall of the cutter cylinder 1. The slag scraping assembly 204 scrapes the mud and slag on the inner wall of the cutter cylinder 1. Since the slag removing roller 203 can rotate by itself, it can remove the mud and slag that is relatively firmly adhered to the inner wall of the cutter cylinder 1.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above-described embodiments are only specific implementation manners of the present disclosure, used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present disclosure, rather than limiting them. The protection scope of the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
