[0134] Further, the step of the second roller cutter cutting stage of the staged cutting control is: in the second roller cutter cutting stage, roller cutter one is fully constrained by wall.vel id=1off, roller cutter two is activated by wall.vel id=2(v_x, v_y, 0) to control the displacement, and the x-direction translational displacement and the rolling displacement around the y-axis of roller cutter two are released;
[0135] Further, the rock failure criterion is defined as follows: for the rock particle units in contact with the roller cutter directly below the roller cutter, when the maximum compressive stress is greater than the dynamic compressive strength of rock, the rock failure can delete the units; for the rock particle units in contact with the roller cutter between the roller cutters, when the tensile stress is greater than the tensile strength of rock, the rock failure can delete the units; for the rock particle units near the roller cutter (not in contact with the roller cutter but in contact with the rock particle units), when the inter-particle cohesive normal force exceeds the tensile strength, the cohesive fracture is triggered, and the rock failure can delete the units.
[0136] Further, the calculation formula of the rock breaking specific energy SE is:
[0137]
[0138] wherein, FMR F is the average rolling rock breaking force of the cutter, KN; KN MV F is the average vertical rock breaking force of the cutter, KN; KN S P is the penetration, mm; V is the effective path of rolling cutting of the cutter, m; KN R F is the volume of the rock breaking area, 10 -5 m 3 ; lambda is the time-varying friction energy consumption deterioration coefficient of the cutter and rock mass, the rock lambda = 0.28; eta is the rock cuttability coefficient; sigma1 is the maximum principal stress of the rock, sigma1 = 0.37; sigma3 is the minimum principal stress of the rock, sigma3 = 0.18.
[0139] Further, the calculation formula of the rock cuttability coefficient eta is:
[0140]
[0141] Wherein, sigma t is the tensile strength of the rock; sigma c is the uniaxial compressive strength of the rock; G is the shear modulus of the rock; E is the elastic modulus of the rock; v p is the longitudinal wave velocity of the rock when breaking rock, rho is the density of the rock; and v is the Poisson's ratio of the rock.
[0142] The process of simulating TBM rolling rock for 10 minutes is simulated, and the data obtained by numerical simulation and the rock breaking specific energy consumption are shown in Table 4:
[0143] Table 4
[0144]
[0145]
[0146] Further, as shown in Figures 5-10 , a linear fitting graph of rock breaking specific energy consumption under different penetrations is provided, and the optimal cutter spacing is the lowest point of the second-order regression curve obtained by fitting. Among them, the collected values in the above table 4 are actually collected values, but the collected values may be affected by outliers and interference, and the collected values are not accurate, and the measured values are only part of the data. Through the fitting of the above values, the influence of certain errors can be reduced, and the lowest point of the fitting curve is sought by fitting the above values to the fitting curve. The lowest point is more representative and universal than the minimum value in the data set which may be affected by outliers. Therefore, the application does not take the lowest value affected by the actual value as the optimal spacing, but takes the value of the lowest point of the fitted curve as the final optimal spacing.
[0147] In combination Figures 5-10The optimal tool spacing obtained by fitting curves under different penetration depths is shown in Table 5:
[0148] Table 5
[0149]
[0150] Further, the combination of the rock breaking specific energy minimum when the S / P value tends to be stable is the optimal penetration depth and tool spacing combination of this rock: penetration depth P = 6.4 mm, tool spacing S = 100.99 mm.
[0151] Further, the standard for the S / P value to tend to be stable is to arrange the penetration depths from small to large, and the range (the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value) of the S / P values of the adjacent four groups of data is less than or equal to 2.5, that is, the S / P values of this section of data are considered to tend to be stable.
[0152] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical scope disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
