Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of tunnel boring machines, in particular to a method for predicting the life of a cutter wheel for a tunnel boring machine suitable for a hypergravity environment. Background Art
[0002] Disc cutters are important cutting tools for full-face tunnel boring machines (TBMs) to crush hard rock and are widely used in geotechnical excavation for underground projects such as subways, railway tunnels, and water conservancy projects. The cutters directly bear high-intensity impact, abrasion, and cyclic loads by rotating and cutting the rock mass. Their lifespan directly affects the construction efficiency and cost of the TBM. The main forms of damage to the cutters include radial wear, cutter ring cracking, and material fatigue cracks, among which radial wear is the core indicator for life prediction. Due to the complex excavation environment (including hard rock, soft rock, mixed strata, groundwater, etc.), the prediction of cutter life requires comprehensive consideration of geological conditions, operating parameters, and material properties. Existing technologies mainly predict cutter life through experimental testing, numerical simulation, or empirical formulas, but the accuracy and adaptability are limited, especially under complex geological conditions.
[0003] In existing technologies, the life prediction of disc cutters mainly relies on the calculation of the radial wear coefficient and the estimation based on the operating parameters of the tunnel boring machine. However, existing methods have the following technical problems:
[0004] 1. Dynamic changes in geological conditions are not fully considered: Existing life prediction models are usually based on static or simplified geological parameters and cannot accurately reflect the impact of complex and changeable geological conditions (such as rock hardness, fault zones, groundwater seepage, etc.) on cutter wear during actual excavation.
[0005] 2. Ignoring material fatigue damage: Existing methods mainly focus on wear and fail to effectively quantify the fatigue damage of hob materials under high loads and cyclic stresses, resulting in life predictions that deviate from reality.
[0006] 3. Insufficient real-time data collection: Existing technologies lack the means to monitor the wear and stress of the hob in a hypergravity environment in real time, making it difficult to dynamically adjust the prediction model.
[0007] 4. Poor model adaptability: The existing radial wear coefficient model has poor adaptability to different types of hobs (such as single-edge, double-edge) or different sizes, and the prediction accuracy decreases as the hob structure changes. Summary of the Invention

Adjustment of wear coefficient: First calculate the actual wear value and wear prediction value W t The difference between When the error ρ is greater than the set maximum error, the initial wear coefficient is optimized by minimizing the error. The optimization formula is: The initial setting k0=0.005, when the error ρ is not greater than the set maximum error, the initial wear coefficient is not optimized; d. Repeat the above steps ac under different geological conditions and working conditions on the gravity centrifuge experimental platform to collect multiple groups of Calculate and update the corresponding k0, and finally take the average or weighted average as the final initial wear coefficient.
