Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of shield / TBM cutter ring processing technology, specifically relating to a laser shock strengthening method for the surface of shield / TBM cutter rings. Background Technology

[0002] The shield tunneling machine (TBM) cutterhead ring is a ring-shaped component with a certain width and thickness that is installed on the disc cutterhead of the TBM. Its inner diameter is matched with the cutterhead body. Its main function is to cut the rock at the tunnel face and ensure that the TBM can break through the rock smoothly during the tunneling process.

[0003] Strength is one of the important properties of the cutterhead ring of a tunnel boring machine (TBM). Currently, the method to improve the strength of the cutterhead ring is surface laser shock peening, which uses a high-energy laser beam to rapidly heat and melt alloy powder or ceramic powder to form a coating with super wear resistance and impact resistance on the surface of the cutterhead ring, thereby significantly improving the strength of the cutterhead ring.

[0004] Chinese Patent Application No. 201811377150.9 discloses a method for strengthening the surface of a tunnel boring machine cutter ring, comprising: vacuum drying alloy powder; clamping the cutter ring to be processed and strengthened on a positioner with a chuck; grinding the surface of the cutter ring's cutting edge; simultaneously cladding the cutter ring surface with gravity powder feeding and laser; and heat-insulating and cooling the processed cutter ring.

[0005] The above-mentioned technology has the following problems: the surface strengthening parameters of the above-mentioned shield machine cutterhead surface strengthening method are selected arbitrarily without systematic theoretical support, making it difficult to guarantee that the surface strengthening effect of the cutterhead will reach the optimal level.

[0006] In view of this, a laser shock peening method for the surface of the cutterhead ring of a shield tunneling machine (TBM) is designed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for laser shock peening of the surface of a shield / TBM cutterhead ring, comprising the following steps:

[0009] S1: Obtain historical laser shock blasting data on the surface of shield / TBM cutter rings, including surface laser shock blasting data with one or more of the following as independent variables: shield / TBM cutter ring material, shield / TBM cutter ring width, shield / TBM cutter ring thickness, alloy powder type, and laser parameters;

[0010] S2: Preprocess the acquired historical laser shock blasting data on the surface of the shield / TBM cutter ring;

Based on the constructed knowledge graph of laser shock strengthening of the shield / TBM cutter ring surface, predict the surface laser shock strengthening parameters of the shield / TBM cutter ring to be laser-strengthened, including the alloy powder type and laser parameters.

[0015] S7: Machining of shield / TBM cutter rings based on predicted surface laser shock peening parameters.

[0016] Furthermore, in step S2, the preprocessing includes deleting missing value data, deleting outlier data, deleting duplicate value data, data standardization, and data normalization.

[0017] Furthermore, the specific steps in step S3 include:

[0018] S301: Using one of the following as independent variables—shield / TBM cutter ring material, shield / TBM cutter ring width, shield / TBM cutter ring thickness, alloy powder type, and laser parameters—and the surface laser shock strengthening effect parameter as the dependent variable, extract the amount of data from the preset threshold in the surface laser strengthening shock data from high to low.

[0019] S302: Calculate the relative merits and demerits of each independent variable based on the average value of the data extracted under each independent variable, and then sort them.

[0020] S303: Using the material, width, thickness, alloy powder type, and laser parameters of the shield / TBM cutter ring as entities, establish the relationship between the material, width, thickness, alloy powder type, and laser parameters of the shield / TBM cutter ring, which is the knowledge graph of laser shock strengthening on the surface of the shield / TBM cutter ring.

[0021] Furthermore, the specific steps of step S4 include:

[0022] S401: The shield / TBM cutter rings to be laser-strengthened on the surface are sequentially passed through a 3D scanner to obtain 3D scanning data;

[0023] S402: Constructing a 3D model of the shield / TBM cutterhead based on 3D scanning data;

[0030] Solid-state LSTM model relating alloy powder type and laser parameters;

[0031] Historical alloy powder types and laser parameters are also input into the LSTM model for training;

[0032] During prediction, the surface laser shock strengthening parameters of the shield / TBM cutter ring to be laser-strengthened, derived from the entities and relationships between entities in the knowledge graph of laser shock strengthening of the shield / TBM cutter ring surface, are the first parameters. The surface laser shock strengthening parameters of the shield / TBM cutter ring to be laser-strengthened, predicted by the LSTM model, are the second parameters. If the first and second parameters are the same, this is the output result; otherwise, the prediction is repeated.

Compared with the prior art, the knowledge graph can optimize the surface laser shock blasting parameters of the shield / TBM cutter rings, that is, it can optimize the surface laser shock blasting effect of the shield / TBM cutter rings.

[0035] 2. Before laser shock strengthening of the shield / TBM cutter ring surface, the present invention first obtains three-dimensional scanning data by scanning with a three-dimensional scanner, then constructs a three-dimensional model based on the three-dimensional scanning data, then obtains the difference data by comparing with the preset three-dimensional model, and then performs fine processing based on the difference data. This can ensure that the shield / TBM cutter ring parameters reach the optimal during surface laser shock strengthening treatment, so as to achieve the optimal surface laser shock strengthening effect of the shield / TBM cutter ring.

[0036] 3.

[0073] Example 2

[0074] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that:

[0075] Specifically, in step S3, the knowledge graph of laser shock peening enhancement on the surface of the shield / TBM cutterhead also includes:

[0076] Solid-state LSTM model relating alloy powder type and laser parameters;
