Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of research on the wear law of tunnel boring machine cutters, and in particular to a method for constructing a model of cutter wear law. Background Technology

[0002] Shield tunneling, as the mainstream construction method for underground engineering projects such as subway tunnels, is widely used due to its advantages such as high safety, good construction efficiency, minimal impact on the surrounding environment, and strong adaptability to complex geological conditions. The cutterhead is a key tool for the shield machine to directly break rocks during tunneling, and its performance directly affects the progress and cost of the entire project. In recent years, with increasingly complex engineering geological conditions, especially in construction in composite strata of soft and hard rock, cutter wear has intensified, the frequency of cutter replacement has increased significantly, and construction risks have also increased. Therefore, accurately understanding the wear patterns of the cutterhead is of great significance for making scientific cutter replacement decisions and ensuring construction safety and efficiency.

[0003] Currently, research on the wear patterns of tunnel boring machine (TBM) cutters mainly focuses on analyzing the impact of tunneling parameters (such as thrust, torque, and tunneling speed) on cutter wear, predicting cutter life by establishing a correlation model between tunneling parameters and wear amount. These methods typically require comprehensive consideration of the interaction of multiple dynamic parameters, resulting in complex model construction and susceptibility to fluctuations in operating conditions in practical applications, leading to insufficient predictive stability. This limitation restricts the practicality and adaptability of cutter wear prediction models, especially when facing complex and variable geological conditions. Existing methods often rely on numerous parameter calibrations and operating condition assumptions, resulting in cumbersome calculations and prone to prediction deviations, affecting the accuracy of cutter replacement timing. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a method for constructing a cutter wear pattern model to address these issues. Summary of the Invention
