[0035] Further, as shown in Figure 3 The clamp support 21 is provided with a limiting structure 25, the limiting structure 25 is provided with a limiting groove, and the guide ear 24 is in sliding cooperation with the limiting groove.

[0036] Further, the suspension sliding device 1 comprises two oppositely arranged roller frames 103, the roller frames 103 are rotationally connected with the rollers 101, the roller frames 103 are connected with the clamp support 21 through the connecting rods 102. Specifically, the upper side of the clamp support 21 is provided with a connecting plate, the connecting plate is provided with a through hole; the two roller frames 103 are arranged on the two sides of the connecting plate respectively, the connecting rods 102 pass through the through holes on the roller frames 103 and the connecting plate, so as to realize the connection between the roller frames 103 and the connecting plate, and further realize the connection between the roller frames 103 and the clamp support 21.

[0037] In example 3, on the basis of example 2, as shown in Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 A pipeline walking mechanism, comprising a single suspension beam 8 arranged along the extension direction of the tunnel, a pipeline grouping module connected on the single suspension beam 8, a suspension sliding device 1 connected with the single suspension beam 8, a towing device 6, a braking device 9 and a rollback device arranged on the single suspension beam 8, the towing device 6 is located on the front side of the pipeline grouping module, and the towing device 6 is connected with the suspension sliding device 1 at the front end of the pipeline grouping module; when the pipelines 4 in the pipeline grouping module are in a natural drooping state, the curvature radius R of the outermost pipeline of the pipeline grouping module, and the outer diameter D of the largest pipeline in the pipeline grouping module, R≥3D. Specifically, the single suspension beam 8 is an I-shaped track, the rollers 101 in the suspension sliding device 1 are in rolling cooperation with the I-shaped track; the single suspension beam 8 provides rigid support for the towing device 6 and the suspension sliding device 1 and plays a guiding role; the towing device 6 is located in front of the pipeline grouping module and is suspended on the single suspension beam 8, a driving motor is arranged on the towing device 6, the output end of the driving motor is connected with a roller, the roller is in rolling cooperation with the single suspension beam 8, the driving motor drives the roller to rotate, thereby realizing the movement of the towing device 6 on the single suspension beam 8, so that the towing device 6 can pull the suspension sliding device 1 to move; the towing device 6 is connected with the suspension sliding device 1 through a long strip-shaped thin steel plate. In this embodiment, one towing device 6 is arranged on the single suspension beam 8, the pipeline grouping modules are detachably connected through a third steel wire rope, the third steel wire rope connects the suspension sliding device 1 at the tail end in the front side pipeline grouping module and the suspension sliding device 1 at the head end in the rear side pipeline grouping module, and the towing device 6 is located in front of the frontmost pipeline grouping module, and each pipeline grouping module is pulled to move by the towing device 6.

[0038] In addition, a distance limiting assembly is arranged between the two adjacent suspension sliding devices 1 in the pipeline grouping module. The distance limiting assembly can be a limiting rod. The distance limiting assembly can limit the minimum distance between the two adjacent suspension sliding devices 1, thereby controlling the minimum radius of curvature of the pipeline 4 between the two adjacent suspension sliding devices 1. Specifically, when the pipeline grouping module is in the contracted state, R = 3D, the pipeline 4 is bent to the minimum value of the radius of curvature. At this time, the pipeline grouping module can avoid the case that the pipeline curvature radius is too small to cause a large pressure loss of the oil passing through the pipeline. At the same time, the pipeline grouping module occupies a small space, which is beneficial to the storage and extension of the pipeline grouping module. When the pipeline grouping module is in the extended state, R > 3D. The pressure loss of the oil passing through the bent part of the pipeline is small, and meanwhile, the pipeline is not limited by the space.

[0039] Further, a pulling force monitoring device 7 is arranged between the pulling device 6 and the suspension sliding device 1. In the embodiment, the pulling force monitoring device 7 is a pulling force gauge. The pulling force monitoring device 7 monitors the pulling force of the pulling device 6 in real time. Specifically, the pulling force required for the first steel wire rope 3 to be taut can be set as the threshold value of the pulling force monitoring device 7. When the pulling force monitoring device 7 detects that the pulling force reaches the threshold value, it indicates that the pipeline grouping module has been fully extended and unfolded. The pulling device 6 triggers automatic parking to prevent the pipeline 4 from being damaged due to excessive stretching, and to avoid potential risks such as mechanical jamming or abnormal load of the suspension sliding device 1, thereby effectively improving the safety of the telescopic pipeline grouping module in use.

[0040] Further, as shown in Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 The brake device 9 includes a clamp 91 fixed on the inner wall of the tunnel, the tail end of the clamp 91 is hinged with a telescopic driving member, and the head end of the clamp 91 is provided with a brake block 93 for clamping the suspension sliding device 1. The clamp 91 is hoisted on the inner wall of the tunnel. The telescopic driving member is an oil cylinder 92 or an air cylinder 94. The two ends of the oil cylinder 92 or the air cylinder 94 are hingedly connected with the tail end of the clamp 91. The brake device 9 brakes the suspension sliding device 1 at the rear end of the telescopic pipeline grouping module. The brake device 9 cooperates with the pulling device 6 to completely unfold the telescopic pipeline grouping module, thereby realizing long-distance pipeline extension.

[0041] Further, the rollback device includes a winch 10 arranged at the rear end of the single hoisting beam 8. A second steel wire rope 11 is wound on the winch 10. The end of the second steel wire rope 11 is detachably connected with the suspension sliding device 1 at the front end of the pipeline grouping module. As shown in Figure 9As shown, winding the second steel wire rope 11 by the winch 10 will drive the front-end suspension sliding device 1 to retreat synchronously, the distance between each suspension sliding device 1 in the pipe grouping module is reduced, and the pipe 4 is automatically changed from the laid state to the curved state, realizing the retreat of the pipe grouping module.

[0042] In example 4, the difference from example 3 is that the pipe walking mechanism comprises a single beam 8, the pipe grouping module and the pulling device 6 are arranged on the single beam 8, and one pulling device 6 is arranged in front of each pipe grouping module, that is, one pulling device 6 pulls one pipe grouping module to move, so that each pipe grouping module moves in order, avoiding the case that the pulling force is too large when the pipe grouping module moves, reducing the load borne by the pulling device 6, and improving the safety of the pulling device 6.

[0043] In addition, the retreat device comprises a winch 10 arranged at the rear end of the single beam 8, the second steel wire rope 11 is wound around the winch 10, and the end of the second steel wire rope 11 is detachably connected with each pulling device 6. The pulling device 6 pushes the suspension sliding device 1 to move and shrink, and at this time, the push-pull force monitoring device 7 can detect and monitor the thrust force transmitted by the pulling device 6 to the suspension sliding device 1, and when the thrust force reaches a preset threshold value, it indicates that the pipe integrated grouping has been fully coiled.

[0044] When the pipe grouping module retreats: the gripper 91 of the brake device 9 clamps the suspension sliding device 1 at the tail end of the pipe grouping module to limit the position of the suspension sliding device 1, at this time, the winch 10 starts to wind the second steel wire rope 11, the second steel wire rope 11 pulls the pulling device 6 to retreat, the pulling device 6 pushes the distance between each suspension sliding device 1 in the pipe grouping module to shrink, realizing the shrinkage of the pipe grouping module; after the pipe grouping module is shrunk, the brake device 9 cancels the clamping and fixing of the pipe grouping module, and the shrunk pipe grouping module is detached from the single beam 8 for the retreat of the next pipe grouping module.

[0045] In example 5, on the basis of example 1, a pipe connection method of the pipe walking mechanism in the walking process, comprising a rear matching trolley 12, as shown in Figure 10 As shown, the rear matching trolley 12 is provided with a first liquid supply station 13 and a second liquid supply station 14, and a pressure limiting valve 16 is arranged on the liquid supply pipe of each of the first liquid supply station 13 and the second liquid supply station 14; the first liquid supply station 13 and the second liquid supply station 14 can supply liquid to the pipe 4, and the pressure limiting valve 16 is used to ensure the liquid pressure in the pipe during pipe connection, so as to ensure that the pipe supplying liquid to the tunneling host does not lose pressure during pipe connection, and ensure the safety during pipe connection.

[0046] Further, the liquid supply pipe of the first liquid supply station 13 and the second liquid supply station 14 is provided with a one-way valve 15. The one-way valve 15 is arranged between the pressure limiting valve 16 and the liquid supply station. When the air in the pipeline of the N+1 pipeline grouping module is discharged, the one-way valve can prevent the liquid medium of the first liquid supply station from entering the second liquid supply station through the pipeline, so that the liquid medium always flows away from the liquid supply station, and the safety of the liquid supply station is ensured.

[0047] In this embodiment, the first pipeline joint 51 is provided with three pipeline interfaces, and a gate valve is arranged at each pipeline interface position to control the opening and closing of each pipeline interface.

[0048] As shown in Figure 11 , before the pipeline connection, the first pipeline joint 51 of the N pipeline grouping module is communicated with the liquid supply pipe of the first liquid supply station 13, and the first liquid supply station 13 supplies liquid to the pipeline 4 of the N pipeline grouping module. The gate valves at the two pipeline interfaces where the liquid supply pipe and the pipeline 4 are connected on the first pipeline joint 51 are opened, the liquid supply pipe of the first liquid supply station 13 is opened, and the liquid medium in the first liquid supply station 13 enters the first pipeline joint 51 of the N pipeline grouping module in sequence through the one-way valve 15 and the pressure limiting valve 16, and then enters the pipeline 4 of the N pipeline grouping module, so that the first liquid supply station 13 can supply liquid.

[0049] During the pipeline connection, as shown in Figure 12 , the first pipeline joint 51 of the N+1 pipeline grouping module is communicated with the liquid supply pipe of the second liquid supply station 14, the second pipeline joint 52 of the N+1 pipeline grouping module is communicated with the first pipeline joint 51 of the N pipeline grouping module, and the first liquid supply station 13 simultaneously supplies liquid to the pipelines 4 of the N pipeline grouping module and the N+1 pipeline grouping module, and the air in the pipeline 4 of the N+1 pipeline grouping module is discharged through the pressure limiting valve 16 of the second liquid supply station 14. The flow direction of the liquid medium in the N+1 pipeline grouping module is from the first liquid supply station 13 to the second liquid supply station 14. The pressure limiting valve 16 of the second liquid supply station 14 is used to limit the pressure in the pipeline 4 of the N+1 pipeline grouping module, so that most of the liquid pressure delivered by the first liquid supply station 13 is used for liquid supply of the N pipeline grouping module, and the pipeline 4 of the N pipeline grouping module will not lose pressure, so that the pipeline connection can be carried out without stopping the main machine. At the same time, the one-way valve 15 of the second liquid supply station 14 can prevent the liquid medium in the pipeline 4 of the N+1 pipeline grouping module from entering the second liquid supply station 14.

[0050] After the pipeline connection, as shown in Figure 13As shown, after the liquid medium fills the pipeline 4 of the N+1 pipeline grouping module, the second liquid supply station 14 supplies liquid to the pipeline 4 of the N+1 pipeline grouping module and the N pipeline grouping module in turn, and then disconnects the first pipeline joint 51 of the N pipeline grouping module from the liquid supply pipe of the first liquid supply station 13. First, close the gate valve at the pipeline interface of the first pipeline joint 51 of the N pipeline grouping module for connecting the liquid supply pipe of the first liquid supply station 13, and then disconnect the first liquid supply station 13 from the N pipeline grouping module; at this time, the second liquid supply station 14 supplies liquid, and the liquid medium of the second liquid supply station 14 passes through the pipeline 4 of the N+1 pipeline grouping module and the N pipeline grouping module in turn.

[0051] In Example 6, on the basis of Example 5, a tunneling method includes a pipeline walking mechanism advancing process; the pulling device 6 on the single suspension beam 8 pulls the first suspension sliding device 1 in the pipeline grouping module to move forward, so that the pipeline 4 in the pipeline grouping module is unfolded or moved forward; after the pipeline 4 of the N pipeline grouping module on the single suspension beam 8 is completely unfolded, the N+1 pipeline grouping module is connected between the N pipeline grouping module and the rear matching trolley 12 using the pipeline connection method. When the pulling device 6 pulls the pipeline 4 in the pipeline grouping module to unfold and straighten, the brake device 9 on the single suspension beam 8 limits the movement of the last suspension sliding device 1 in the pipeline grouping module. As shown in Figure 8 As shown, the gripper 91 of the brake device 9 clamps the suspension sliding device 1 at the tail end of the pipeline grouping module, limits the position of the suspension sliding device 1, the pulling device 6 is started, the pulling device 6 pulls the suspension sliding device 1 at the front end of the pipeline grouping module to move on the single suspension beam 8, so that the pipeline 4 of the pipeline grouping module changes from a curved state to a laid state, realizing the unfolding of the pipeline grouping module; after the pipeline grouping module is unfolded, the brake device 9 cancels the clamping and fixing of the pipeline grouping module, the pulling device 6 pulls the pipeline grouping module to move forward on the single suspension beam 8, and then the next pipeline grouping module is installed on the single suspension beam 8, and the N+1 pipeline grouping module is connected between the N pipeline grouping module and the rear matching trolley 12 using the pipeline connection method, realizing the unfolding of the next pipeline grouping module.

[0052] Further, during the process of pulling the pipeline 4 in the pipeline grouping module to unfold and straighten by the pulling device 6, the push-pull force monitoring device 7 is used to monitor the pulling force of the pulling device 6 on the suspension sliding device 1 in real time, the tension required to tighten the first steel wire rope 3 is set as a threshold value, and when the pulling force reaches the threshold value, the pulling device 6 triggers autonomous parking and cancels the position limiting of the brake device 9 on the last suspension sliding device 1 in the pipeline grouping module. When the pulling force reaches the threshold value, the surface pipeline 4 is fully extended, effectively preventing damage to the pipeline 4 due to excessive stretching, while avoiding potential risks such as mechanical jamming or abnormal load of the suspension sliding device 1.

[0053] Further, the tunneling method further comprises a pipeline walking mechanism retreating process; the second steel wire rope 11 on the winch 10 is connected with the pulling device 6, the brake device 9 limits the last suspension sliding device 1 in the pipeline grouping module, the winch 10 is started, the winch 10 winds the second steel wire rope 11, the second steel wire rope 11 pulls the pulling device 6 to retreat on the single suspension beam 8, the pulling device 6 pushes each suspension sliding device 1 in the pipeline grouping module to approach each other, the pipeline 4 in the pipeline grouping module is contracted and folded, and the pipeline grouping module is disassembled and recycled at the tunnel entrance position. Specifically, as shown in the figure, the clamping device 91 of the brake device 9 clamps the suspension sliding device 1 at the tail end of the pipeline grouping module, and limits the position of the suspension sliding device 1, at this time, the winch 10 is started to wind the second steel wire rope 11, the second steel wire rope 11 pulls the suspension sliding device 1 at the front end of the pipeline grouping module to retreat, the distance between each suspension sliding device 1 in the pipeline grouping module is reduced, the pipeline 4 changes from the laid state to the curved and folded state, and the contraction of the pipeline grouping module is realized; after all the pipeline grouping modules are contracted, the brake device 9 cancels the clamping and fixing of the pipeline grouping module, and the contracted pipeline grouping module is disassembled from the single suspension beam 8 in turn. Figure 9

[0054] In addition, in the retreating process, the pushing and pulling force monitoring device 7 monitors the pushing force transmitted by the pulling device 6 in real time, when the pushing force reaches the preset threshold value, it indicates that the pipeline grouping module has been fully wound, at this time, the brake device 9 cancels the brake of the suspension sliding device 1 in the pipeline grouping module, and the contracted pipeline grouping module is disassembled from the single suspension beam 8.
