AI Technical Summary
When tunnel boring machines (TBMs) are excavating in soft soil or silt strata, insufficient ground support can lead to loss of attitude control, affecting the quality of tunnel construction. Existing technologies do not allow for precise adjustment of the TBM's attitude and may damage the tunnel walls.
The shield's attitude is adjusted by using a floating cutterhead and a correction cylinder in combination. The floating cutterhead and the correction cylinder extend and retract to adjust the shield's attitude. Grouting anchors are installed in the correction gap to reinforce the bottom of the tunnel, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the shield's attitude and the stability of the tunnel.
It enabled precise adjustment of the shield's attitude, preventing tunnel subsidence, ensuring tunnel construction quality, and solving the problem of insufficient ground support through grouting reinforcement.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of tunnel engineering and shield posture adjustment, and particularly relates to a shield posture correction device and method. BACKGROUND
[0002] In shield construction, the tunneling track of the shield machine should be consistent with the tunnel design axis as much as possible, so the shield machine needs to constantly adjust and correct its own posture. Due to the large mass components such as the cutter head and the main drive being concentrated in the front part of the shield machine, the center of gravity of the shield machine is relatively forward, which has the characteristics of heavy head and light tail. When the ground bearing capacity is good, the support force generated by the ground at the bottom of the front shield can balance the weight of the shield machine, and the shield machine can maintain a normal advancing posture. When the shield machine is tunneling in soft soil, silt and other ground, the support capacity of the ground is weak, and the support force generated by the ground may not be enough to bear the weight of the shield machine, so the shield head sinks under the action of gravity and appears to be "tilted". If the degree of "tilt" exceeds the adjustment capability of the advancing oil cylinder, the shield posture will be out of control, which will affect the quality of tunnel construction.
[0003] The patent announcement No. CN113982612B discloses a shield machine posture auxiliary adjustment device and adjustment method, which realizes auxiliary adjustment of the shield posture by applying a controllable force to the shield tail. Since the force adjustment position is at the tail of the shield machine, a very large torque needs to be applied to make the cutter head position "tilt", which is not ideal in terms of force condition, and on the other hand, the shield body at the tail of the cutter body directly rubs against the tunnel wall and is easy to deform and damage. SUMMARY

[0011] Step two, the corresponding correction oil cylinder is adjusted, and the remaining correction oil cylinders follow, for example, the correction oil cylinder in the two o'clock direction is retracted, the floating cutter head is pushed upward, the floating cutter head is used to guide excavation in the correction direction, and the shield can be smoothly corrected.
[0012] Meanwhile, the jacking oil cylinder of the correction pipe piece corresponding to the correction oil cylinder in the eight o'clock direction follows the floating cutter head direction, so that the jacking oil cylinder subsequently pushes the correction gap between the laid correction pipe piece and the completed pipe piece ring.

It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain the present application, and are not used to limit the present application.

Correction segment 10 is provided with wedge block 20 on one side, anchor hole is provided on wedge block 20, and grouting anchor rod 30 is fixedly connected in anchor hole.
[0018] In the present application, floating cutterhead 2 moves in two o'clock direction under the action of one of correction oil cylinder 5 as main pushing direction (such as two o'clock direction, correction oil cylinder 5 in two o'clock direction is retracted, and correction oil cylinder 5 in eight o'clock direction is elongated), and the remaining correction oil cylinders 5 are adaptively elongated, so that floating cutterhead 2 moves in two o'clock direction (two o'clock and eight o'clock are directional nouns), as Figure 6 As shown, floating cutterhead 2 floats to one side, and then cutting area A of floating cutterhead 2, the tunnel formed subsequently is higher than the already formed tunnel wall B, so as to facilitate the deviation correction of tunnel alignment; Since floating cutterhead 2 floats, the fault D is formed between the tunnel wall B and area A, the auxiliary cutter ring 11 at the front end of shield body 1 extrudes the soil, and cooperates with the advance of shield body 1 to make shield body 1 enter area A, so as to play a correcting role, and shield body 1 moves to the upper side, so it is necessary to pull apart the distance between the bottom segments and set wedge block 20 for compensation; Shield deviation is caused by insufficient bearing capacity of surrounding soil. Although the tunnel direction is adjusted, the segment will continue the state of the rear segment, affecting the posture adjustment of the front segment. At this time, the correction gap is left out when the correction cylinder 32 pushes the segment 10 between the completed segment rings, so as to facilitate the setting of the wedge block 20 and the installation of the grouting anchor rod 30 and the grouting reinforcement of the tunnel bottom, avoiding the problems such as subsidence of the subsequent formed tunnel.
