[0067] Example 3
[0068] In order to ensure smooth movement of the cutter head during leveling, this embodiment makes further arrangements based on embodiment 1 or embodiment 2.

[0077] In specific implementation, the steel plates are connected by welding, and after passing UT and PT100% flaw detection, they meet the requirements of on-site use.
[0078] Example 4
[0079] This embodiment provides a method for resetting and reinstalling a shield cutterhead in a tunnel, using a device for resetting and reinstalling a shield cutterhead in a tunnel as described in Example 2 or Example 3. The method includes the following steps:
[0080] S10, fixing the inclined cutterhead 1 on the shield machine front shield soil bin partition 10 using a temporary fixed support 2;
[0081] The upper part of the cutterhead 1 is temporarily fixed with multiple H-shaped steels;
[0082] S20, constructing the support platform and reset mechanism of the cutter head 1;
[0083] According to the tunnel clearance and actual space and location parameters on site, multiple support platforms are installed. Each support platform has been subjected to stress analysis and calculation to meet the load requirements.
[0084] S30, cutter head 1 moves and is leveled;
[0085] S31, soil excavation is completed and a hand chain hoist is installed on the upper part. After installation, multiple temporary fixed supports 2 of the cutter head 1 are removed;
[0086] During the specific implementation, four 10-ton hand hoists are installed. The cross brace supporting the cutter disc is hard-connected to the cutter disc, so the upper fixed steel can be directly cut off, and the four 10T hoists on the upper part can be used for assistance.
[0087] S32. A translation cylinder 8 is installed on each supporting platform. Two welded ear seats are used to fix the translation cylinder 8. One ear seat is welded to the corresponding cross-bracing platform of the supporting platform, and the other is welded to the cutterhead 1. The horizontal movement of the translation cylinder 8 is used to achieve the horizontal movement of the cutterhead 1. The hydraulic pump station is used to control the forward movement of the horizontal movement cylinder to adjust the cutterhead 1 to a vertical position. During the leveling process of the cutterhead 1, the adjustable support 7 is used to reserve adjustable gaps between the supporting positions of the multiple supporting platforms and the cutterhead 1 to ensure smooth movement.
[0088] In specific implementation, four support platforms are respectively installed with translation cylinders, using four cylinders with a push and pull force of 50T and a stroke of 600mm. The hydraulic pump station is used to control the horizontal movement cylinder 4 to move forward and adjust the cutter head to vertical;
[0089] S40, cutterhead 1 jacking up;
[0090] A plurality of inverted seats 11 are welded on the front of the cutter head 1, and a plurality of jacking cylinders 9 (50T) are installed between the corresponding support platform and the inverted seats 11. The cutter head 1 is lifted by the jacking cylinders 9;
[0091] S50: Reset and reinstall the cutter head.
[0092] Example 5
[0093] This embodiment takes the Nanjing shield project as an example. During the entire process of resetting and reinstalling the cutterhead, the operation efficiency is improved, the labor intensity is reduced, and safety is ensured, with good application effects.
[0094] Economic Benefits: The existing technical method requires 20 workers at a salary of 300 yuan per day, a construction period of 60 days, and labor costs of 20*300*60 = 360,000 yuan, with shaft reinforcement and hoisting costs approaching 10 million yuan. Using this device, the system requires 15 workers at a salary of 300 yuan per day, a construction period of 45 days, and labor costs of 15*300*45 = 202,500 yuan. This device saves 157,500 yuan in labor costs per unit. To date, one shield screw machine has been disassembled and installed in a tunnel, generating a cumulative direct economic benefit of 157,500 yuan and saving nearly 10 million yuan in shaft reinforcement and hoisting costs. Based on the above analysis, if this technology is widely adopted in the shield tunneling industry, assuming that China Railway Group has 1,000 conventional-diameter shield machines, and 2% of these machines require screw disassembly in tunnels each year, it could generate a total economic benefit of 3.15 million yuan per year.
[0095] Social benefits: The application of this device has shortened the operation time for resetting and reinstalling the shield cutterhead in the tunnel. During the entire implementation process, reasonable matching and coordination of work have achieved safe and stable resetting and reinstallation of the shield cutterhead in the tunnel, which has been unanimously praised by the Nanjing Metro owners.

Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are intended to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
