[0002] When a station and a section tunnel are connected, the attitude of a shield tunnel is often adjusted after the shield tunnel is expanded to meet the construction requirements of the station. Currently, a secondary shield starting well is usually constructed, but this method has high requirements for the construction environment. If there are important buildings in the construction influence range of the receiving well, the attitude adjustment measures will be extremely complex, and a large amount of manpower and material resources will be required to handle the shield attitude adjustment problem, which significantly increases the engineering cost and construction period. SUMMARY

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows: a method for connecting a shield tunnel and a section line under the condition of no vertical shaft is provided, which comprises the following steps:

[0005] S1, the station starting point mileage line, the station center line, the driving center line, the driving boundary and the original shield center line are determined;

[0006] S2, the intersection of the station starting point mileage line and the station center line is recorded as point A, a circular arc AB is drawn with point A as the starting point and the minimum turning radius D of the shield after expansion as the radius, the tangent of the circular arc AB at point A overlaps the station center line, and the terminal point B of the circular arc AB is located on the original shield center line;

[0009] S5, if the arc BC cannot meet all the conditions in step S4 at the same time, the B point is moved along the original shield center line to the shield, and it is ensured that the radius of the arc BC is not less than the minimum turning radius d of the shield before expansion, until all the conditions in step S4 are met at the same time;

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0025] Referring to the figure, a method for adjusting the alignment of a shield tunneling station and a section of track under shaftless conditions includes the following steps:

[0026] S1, such as Figure 1 As shown, the station's starting mileage line, station centerline, train centerline, train boundary, original shield tunnel centerline, segment diameter before excavation, and segment diameter after excavation are clearly defined. These conditions can be confirmed through original design documents, survey data, etc. The train boundary is the area formed by extending 1.65m outwards from the train centerline on both sides.

[0027] S2, such as Figure 2 As shown, the intersection of the station's starting mileage line and the station's centerline is marked as point A. Using point A as the starting point of the arc, and with a radius of 1000 meters (the minimum turning radius of the tunnel boring machine after widening), an arc AB is drawn towards the direction of the tunnel boring machine. When drawing, it is essential to ensure that the tangent of this arc at point A completely coincides with the station's centerline. The endpoint B of arc AB is located on the original tunnel boring machine's centerline. Thus, the arc AB is preliminarily determined.

[0028] S3, such as Figure 3 As shown, using the initially determined arc AB as the shield tunnel centerline after widening, and based on the widened segment diameter of 11.1 meters, expand outward by 5.55 meters (i.e., 11.1 / 2) to draw the inner contour of the widened tunnel. Check whether this inner contour conflicts with the traffic centerline and traffic boundary.

[0029] No conflict: If the check is correct, then the current point B is confirmed as the starting point for the excavation.

[0030] Conflicts may occur: If the inner contour of the tunnel after widening conflicts with the traffic boundary, point B needs to be moved along the original shield centerline towards the shield's direction. Each time point B is moved, a new arc must be drawn starting from point A, with a radius not less than the minimum turning radius D of the widened shield, and ending at the new point B. The newly generated inner contour of the tunnel is then checked again. This process is iterated until the first point B location is found that completely prevents the inner contour of the widened tunnel from encroaching on the traffic boundary. This point B is then ultimately confirmed as the starting point of the widening. Moving point B essentially increases the turning radius, making the curve smoother and thus avoiding conflicts.

[0031] S4, such asFigure 4 As shown, starting from the final determined point B, and with the minimum turning radius of the tunnel boring machine before widening the tunnel as d = 450 meters, an arc BC is drawn towards the direction of the tunnel boring machine. This arc must meet three strict conditions:

[0032] 1. The endpoint C of the arc must fall on the centerline of the original shield tunnel in the original section.

[0033] 2. The tangent of the arc at point B must coincide with the tangent of the AB arc at point B as determined in step S3; at the same time, the tangent of the arc at point C must coincide with the direction of the original shield tunnel centerline at point C to ensure a smooth connection of the line.

[0034] 3. The horizontal offset between the highest point of the arch of the arc BC and the centerline of the original shield tunnel in the original section shall not exceed 30cm.

[0035] S5. If the initially drawn arc BC cannot simultaneously meet the above three conditions, for example, if the tangent direction at point C is mismatched or the offset exceeds the limit, then point B needs to be finely adjusted again along the original shield centerline towards the shield. After adjustment, using the new point B as the starting point, redraw the arc BC with a radius no less than the minimum turning radius d of the shield before widening, and re-verify all conditions. This process is repeated until a definite position of point B is found, until all conditions in step S4 are simultaneously met.

[0036] S6, such as Figure 5 As shown, the arc BC determined in the previous step, which satisfies all conditions, is used as the shield centerline before widening. Based on the segment diameter of 8.5 meters before widening, it is widened outward by 4.25 meters (i.e., 8.5 / 2) to draw the inner contour of the tunnel before widening. Check whether this inner contour conflicts with the traffic centerline and traffic boundary.

[0037] No conflict: then confirm that the current point C is the starting point for line adjustment.

[0038] If there is a conflict: then point C will be moved along the original shield centerline toward the shield direction. During the movement, ensure that the radius of the arc BC is not less than the minimum turning radius d of the shield before the excavation, until there is no conflict between the inner contour of the tunnel before the excavation and the centerline and boundary of the traffic. Finally, point C will be determined as the starting point for the alignment adjustment.

[0039] S7. Finally, one or more tunneling routes for the tunnel boring machine (TBM) can be selected, and the alignment is adjusted. Taking point C as the starting point for alignment adjustment, the TBM tunnels along the arc BC (the centerline of the TBM before widening), and after reaching point B (the starting point of widening), it widens the TBM and then enters the arc AB (the centerline of the TBM after widening) for tunneling. Finally, it enters the station section with a perfect horizontal posture, realizing the smooth connection of the line and completing the alignment adjustment.

[0040] Through the above-mentioned accurate adjustment method, the smooth and safe transition of the shield tunnel from the small section of the interval to the large section of the station is realized without the need to build expensive and time-consuming shafts. The method significantly improves the construction efficiency, shortens the overall construction period, reduces the engineering risk and cost, and has great engineering application value.

[0041] The above-mentioned embodiments are only used to facilitate the illustration of the present application, and any person with ordinary knowledge in the art can make equivalent embodiments by making partial changes or modifications within the scope of the technical features disclosed in the present application without departing from the technical features of the present application.
