[0023] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Figure 1-3 As shown in FIG, an intelligent early warning system for shield TBM excavation parameters includes the following parts:
[0024] Data acquisition module: The data collector installed on the key parts of the shield TBM is used to monitor the operating status and working environment of the shield TBM in real time. The data collected by the collector includes but is not limited to torque, thrust, pressure, etc., which are used to monitor the key parameters of the shield TBM, such as torque, thrust, top pressure, etc.
[0025] Data Processing Module: This module is responsible for organizing data transmitted by the collector and performing real-time processing and analysis. By collecting and processing data from the collector, this unit obtains TBM tunneling parameters such as thrust, top pressure, and cutterhead torque. By monitoring and analyzing these parameters, the TBM's operating status can be assessed in real time, predicting potential problems. The collected tunneling parameter data and warning records are categorized and stored in a data storage unit. This module allows construction personnel to easily query historical data for analyzing equipment operating trends, summarizing construction experience, and tracing the causes of failures.
[0026] Early Warning Module: Based on the tunneling parameters provided by the data acquisition and processing unit, the intelligent early warning module performs real-time judgments and early warnings. This module comprises an excavation parameter judgment and processing module and a fault tolerance and safety module. The excavation parameter judgment and processing module analyzes the excavation parameters in real time and, based on pre-set early warning criteria, determines whether any abnormalities exist. The fault tolerance and safety module ensures the stability and reliability of the early warning system, preventing false alarms and missed alerts.
[0027] User Interface Module: This interface displays the TBM's status and excavation parameters in real time, facilitating operator monitoring and adjustments. Based on the intelligent warning module's judgment, the control system intelligently controls the TBM, adjusting settings such as the warning timeout (hours), abnormality detection time (seconds), and thresholds to prevent abnormalities.
[0028] An intelligent early warning system for shield TBM excavation parameters, such as Figure 1 As shown, it is mainly composed of shield TBM equipment, data acquisition module, data processing module, model training module, early warning judgment module, and user interface module. The user interface module includes a display device and an operating device. When in use, the data acquisition device is started, and the shield TBM equipment collects the construction data of the shield machine. The collected data is then pre-processed, analyzed and stored. According to the design parameters, construction experience and historical fault data of the shield TBM, reasonable risk assessment indicators and early warning thresholds are set. When the analysis results output by the data processing module are compared with the preset risk assessment indicators, once the parameters are found to be abnormal, the early warning judgment module immediately starts the early warning mechanism. Construction personnel only need to select or enter query conditions in the interactive module, such as enterprise, project, section, line, current warning or historical warning, start and end date, point name, etc. Figure 2 As shown, you can quickly obtain the required data and display it in the form of reports, etc., which is convenient for analysis and summary.
[0029] An intelligent early warning system for shield TBM excavation parameters, such as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the warning record page displays information such as warning level, project name, shield name, point code, point name, warning value, warning upper and lower limits, warning start mileage, warning start time, warning duration, shield machine status, etc. Figure 3 As shown, the page displays a list of parameter warning settings. Construction personnel can query and add enabled or disabled settings by company, project, section, line, and point name. The list displays information such as company name, project name, section name, line name, shield machine name, warning point, warning push time limit, abnormality judgment time, upper and lower warning limits, enabled status, and automatic status. The automatic status automatically calculates and updates the warning range through an algorithm, and selects the automatically calculated points.
[0030] In the above embodiment, the thrust of the shield machine, taking the first five rings of the current excavation ring number as the data reference, if the value exceeds 1.3 times the average value of the first five rings and the value exceeds the limit for more than 10 minutes, a yellow warning is triggered. If it exceeds 1.5 times and the value exceeds the limit for more than 10 minutes, a red warning is triggered. The cutter head torque, taking the first five rings of the current excavation ring number as the data reference, if the value exceeds 1.3 times the average value of the first five rings and the value exceeds the limit for more than 10 minutes, a yellow warning is triggered. If it exceeds 1.5 times and the value exceeds the limit for more than 10 minutes, a red warning is triggered. The top pressure, taking the previous ring of the current excavation ring number as the data reference, if the value changes by more than plus or minus 0.2 compared with the average value of the previous ring and the value exceeds the limit for more than 2 minutes, a yellow warning is triggered. If it exceeds plus or minus 0.3 and the value exceeds the limit for more than 2 minutes, a red warning is triggered. The thrust of the shield machine and the cutter head torque can be set automatically or manually, but the push time and abnormality judgment time must be set manually. The top pressure can only be set manually.
[0031] In the above embodiment, the warning record page can query the current warning or historical warning according to the enterprise / project / interval, line, start date, end date, and point name. After clicking the "Query" button, the corresponding table data will appear below. The warning setting page can query the corresponding data according to the industry / project / interval, line, whether it is enabled and the point name. You can also add / modify warning points. When adding, select the enterprise, project, interval, line, equipment and enter multiple point information. A point information includes: warning point, warning push time limit, abnormal judgment time, red upper and lower limits, and yellow upper and lower limits. When adding a point, pay attention to the warning push time limit (hours) and pay attention to:
[0032] a) The timeliness (hours) of warning push should be greater than the abnormality judgment time;
[0033] b) Abnormal judgment time (seconds) The number entered indicates that no warning will be generated during the duration;
[0034] c) The warning point, warning push time, and abnormal judgment time must be transmitted, and the red lower limit < yellow lower limit < yellow upper limit < red upper limit.
[0035] When modifying the warning information, you can click the "Edit" button in the table. In the edit page, the enterprise, project, interval, equipment and warning point cannot be modified. You can modify the warning push time (hours), abnormal judgment time (seconds), red upper and lower limits, yellow upper and lower limits, whether to enable, and whether to automatically. Whether to enable indicates whether the warning is to be enabled for the point, and whether to automatically indicate whether to automatically update the warning range.
