Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of tunnel boring machine (TBM) equipment technology, and relates to a TBM muck removal device and a method for detecting and controlling the muck removal volume. Background Technology

[0002] Shield tunneling is developing rapidly in my country, but large-scale shield tunnel construction faces many challenges. Among these, ground settlement during the construction of earth pressure balance (EPB) shield tunnels is a common and challenging engineering problem, especially in areas with soft soil layers, sand layers, or abundant groundwater. Ground settlement can pose serious safety hazards to surrounding buildings, roads, and underground pipelines. Research has found a positive correlation between the occurrence of these hazards and over-excavation during shield tunneling. The amount of excavated soil directly reflects the degree of surface settlement; therefore, controlling the amount of excavated soil to prevent over-excavation is crucial for ensuring the safety of surface buildings and structures.

[0003] Currently, the industry has made some progress in controlling the amount of slag discharged and the pressure in the earth pressure shield tunneling machine (EPS). For example, CN115898446A discloses a method for managing the amount of slag discharged during shield tunneling based on triple verification; CN119616519A discloses an adaptive control method for ground settlement with dual control of slag discharge volume and earth pressure; and CN118532180A specifically involves a shield tunneling controller. Although existing technologies have made some progress in controlling the amount of slag discharged and the pressure in the earth pressure, these two are usually controlled independently and cannot form an effective linkage. This makes it difficult to flexibly meet the needs of ground settlement control under complex and variable geological conditions. Especially when encountering complex geological conditions such as alternating soft soil and hard rock, and changes in aquifer thickness, the control of a single parameter is often insufficient to achieve precise control of ground settlement. Furthermore, the verification results lag behind the construction, failing to provide timely feedback on the excavation status at the tunnel face, which poses certain engineering risks.

[0004] Therefore, how to comprehensively consider the amount of slag discharge and the pressure of the soil chamber, and propose a more accurate and efficient method for the amount of slag discharged by the tunnel boring machine to adapt to tunnel construction under complex geological conditions, has become an urgent technical problem to be solved.

The slag monitoring device for the screw conveyor is installed on the upper section of the first slag weighing unit. It calculates the weight of the slag conveyed by the screw conveyor based on the change in the length L of the first slag weighing device during normal tunneling. The end of the slag monitoring device is electrically connected to the PLC system via an electrical signal, and the monitoring data is collected and processed in real time on the PLC system. The slag flow monitoring device is arranged on the outer periphery of the lower section of the slag chute, and detects the slag flow in the slag chute in a non-contact manner; and the end of the slag flow monitoring device is electrically connected to the PLC system via an electrical signal, and the monitoring data is collected and processed on the PLC system in real time. The belt conveyor soil monitoring device is arranged on the belt conveyor and at a set distance from the opening of the slag chute to reduce the interference of the belt conveyor scale when the soil just falls onto it; and the end of the belt conveyor soil monitoring device is electrically connected to the PLC system via an electrical signal, and the monitoring data is collected and processed in real time on the PLC system.

[0007] Furthermore, the soil chamber pressure monitoring device is provided in at least three sets, with at least two components in each set, to form a structure for multi-point detection of soil chamber pressure.

[0008] Furthermore, the shield machine muck removal device also includes a foam system. The foam system is connected to the PLC system via a signal connection.

[0009] As a further aspect of the present invention, the present invention also provides a method for detecting and controlling the slag discharge of a tunneling machine, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Assemble the shield tunneling machine muck removal device as described above; Step 2: Obtain actual monitoring data based on the monitoring units; Step 3: Based on the actual monitoring data obtained from the soil chamber pressure monitoring device, the screw conveyor slag monitoring device, the slag flow monitoring device, and the belt slag monitoring device, the slag discharge rate of the tunnel boring machine is judged. Step 4: Based on the judgment results of the muck discharge volume of the tunnel boring machine's muck discharge device, adaptively adjust the muck discharge strategy of the tunnel boring machine's muck discharge device.

[0010] Furthermore, the specific method for making judgments based on the actual monitoring data detected by the soil chamber pressure monitoring device in step three is as follows: Let the average pressure data obtained from the three sets of soil chamber pressure monitoring devices be . ; Assume that the pressure value range monitored by each group of soil chamber pressure monitoring devices is as follows: ,and Greater than the maximum water and soil pressure of the proposed project ; Let the threshold value of each group of soil chamber pressure monitoring devices be . ; When the actual monitored value of the soil chamber pressure monitoring device If the slag discharge is normal, then the slag discharge is normal; otherwise, it indicates abnormal slag discharge. The actual monitored value of the soil chamber pressure monitoring device is At that time, it was determined that there was under-excavation or delayed drainage; The actual monitored value of the soil chamber pressure monitoring device is At that time, it was determined that over-excavation had occurred.

[0011] Furthermore, the specific method for making judgments based on the actual monitoring data detected by the screw conveyor slag monitoring device in step three is as follows: Assume the weight range monitored by the screw conveyor slag monitoring device is as follows: ,in: This refers to the no-load monitoring data for the screw conveyor. For monitoring data of the screw conveyor under full load; Set the threshold value for the slag monitoring device of the screw conveyor as follows: When the actual monitoring value is If the slag discharge is normal, then the slag discharge is normal; otherwise, it indicates abnormal slag discharge. Assume the normal excavation muck weight of the tunnel boring machine is... When the actual monitoring value of the slag monitoring device of the screw conveyor If the actual monitoring value of the screw conveyor's slag monitoring device is [not specified], it is determined that there is under-excavation or delayed discharge; At that time, it was determined that over-excavation had occurred.

[0012] Furthermore, the specific process of making a judgment based on the actual monitoring data detected by the slag flow monitoring device in step three is as follows: Let the monitoring range of the aforementioned slag flow monitoring device be: ,in: When the slag chute is at 80% capacity plus a safety threshold Real-time monitoring data; When the slag chute is at 100% slag throughput + safety threshold Real-time monitoring data; The theoretically designed slag flow rate; Let the threshold value set for the aforementioned slag flow monitoring device be... When the monitoring value If the slag discharge is normal, then the slag discharge is normal; otherwise, it indicates abnormal slag discharge. The actual monitoring of the slag flow rate by the slag flow monitoring device If so, it is determined that there is under-excavation or delayed drainage; The actual monitoring of the slag flow rate by the slag flow monitoring device If so, it is determined that over-excavation has occurred; The converted slag weight The actual weight of slag discharged as monitored by the slag flow monitoring device, of which, The total weight of slag discharged as monitored by the slag flow monitoring device. This represents the actual weight of the additive in the upper section of the slag chute.

[0013] Furthermore, the specific process of making a judgment based on the actual monitoring data detected by the conveyor belt slag monitoring device in step three is as follows: The weight range that the conveyor belt slag monitoring device can monitor is: ,in: This refers to the no-load monitoring data for belt conveyors. For full-load monitoring data of belt conveyors; The threshold value set for the conveyor belt spoil monitoring device is: When the monitoring value If the slag discharge is normal, then the slag discharge is normal; otherwise, it indicates abnormal slag discharge. The actual monitoring value of the conveyor belt slag monitoring device If so, it is determined that there is under-excavation or delayed drainage; The actual monitoring value of the conveyor belt slag monitoring device If so, it is determined that over-excavation has occurred.

[0014] Furthermore, adaptive control methods for the muck removal device of the tunnel boring machine include pressure control within the excavation chamber, screw weight control, muck flow control, and belt weight control.

[0015] Furthermore, the specific process for pressure regulation within the excavation chamber is as follows: ① When the actual monitored value of the soil chamber pressure monitoring device is At that time, check whether the cutterhead torque of the tunnel boring machine continuously exceeds the set torque value; If so, it means that there is slag buildup in the excavation chamber or mud cake on the cutterhead. In this case, the foam system is controlled to increase the amount of foam injected into the cutterhead, excavation chamber, screw conveyor and / or slag hopper respectively to increase the flushing degree in the excavation chamber until the actual monitoring value of the soil chamber pressure monitoring device returns to the threshold range. If not, it indicates that there is under-excavation. In this case, the amount of compressed air injected into the excavation chamber and the advance speed of the tunnel boring machine during the excavation process are controlled until the actual monitoring value of the soil chamber pressure monitoring device returns to the threshold range. ② When the actual monitoring value of the soil chamber pressure monitoring device If the error occurs, it indicates that there is over-excavation or mud cake consolidation on the cutterhead. In this case, check whether the cutterhead torque continuously exceeds the set torque value. If so, it indicates that there is over-excavation of the cutterhead or solidified mud cake. In this case, the foam system is controlled to increase the amount of foam injected into the cutterhead, excavation chamber, screw conveyor and / or slag hopper, respectively, to increase the flushing degree of the cutterhead and reduce the cutterhead speed until the actual monitoring value of the soil chamber pressure monitoring device returns to the threshold range. If not, it means that the rest of the tunneling is normal. Then, increase the amount of foam injected into the cutterhead, excavation chamber, screw conveyor and / or slag hopper by controlling the foam system, and increase the screw conveyor speed and the pressure relief valve of the excavation chamber until the actual monitoring value of the soil chamber pressure monitoring device returns to the threshold range.

[0016] Furthermore, the specific process of helical weight control is as follows: ① When the actual monitoring value of the slag monitoring device of the screw conveyor If this occurs, it is determined that there is under-digging or sluggish discharge. At this time, the PLC system checks whether the cutter head torque continuously exceeds the set torque value. If so, it is determined that the excavated soil in the excavation chamber is stuck. Then, the pressure control command issued by the PLC system is to increase the amount of foam injection and increase the speed of the screw conveyor until the weight returns to normal. If otherwise, the cutterhead is deemed to be under-digging, and the PLC system will then issue a spiral weight control command to increase the amount of foam injected and the speed of the cutterhead until the weight returns to normal. ② When the actual monitoring value of the slag monitoring device of the screw conveyor If this occurs, it is determined that over-excavation has occurred. At this time, the PLC system checks whether the cutterhead torque continuously exceeds the set torque value, or whether the monitoring pressure in the excavation chamber remains excessively high within the set time. ; If so, it is determined to be over-excavation. The PLC system then issues a pressure control command to increase the amount of foam injection and reduce the speed of the cutter head until the weight returns to normal. If otherwise, it is determined that the screw conveyor speed has increased, and the PLC system will then issue a screw weight control command to increase the foam injection volume and decrease the screw conveyor speed until the weight returns to normal.

[0017] Furthermore, the specific process for controlling the flow rate of construction waste is as follows: ① When the slag flow monitoring device actually monitors If the system detects an under-excavation or sluggish discharge, it determines that there is an issue. In this case, the PLC system checks whether the cutterhead torque continuously exceeds the set torque value, or whether the weight of the excavated material from the screw conveyor remains consistently low within a set time. ; If so, it is determined that there is stagnation in the excavation chamber or solidified mud cake on the cutterhead. The PLC system then issues a soil flow control command to increase the foam injection volume, increase the cutterhead flushing, and increase the screw conveyor speed until the flow rate returns to normal. If otherwise, it is determined that the cutterhead is under-dug, and the PLC system will then issue a soil flow control command to increase the amount of foam injection and increase the cutterhead speed until the flow rate returns to normal. ② When the slag flow monitoring device actually monitors If this occurs, it is determined that over-excavation has occurred. Subsequently, the PLC system issues a slag flow control command to increase the foam injection volume, reduce the cutter head speed and the screw conveyor speed, until the flow rate returns to normal.

[0018] Furthermore, the specific process for adjusting the belt weight is as follows: ① When the actual monitoring value of the conveyor belt slag monitoring device If this occurs, it indicates that there is under-excavation or sluggish discharge. In this case, the PLC system checks whether the cutterhead torque continuously exceeds the set torque value, or whether the weight of the excavated soil on the screw conveyor remains consistently low within a set time. ; If so, it is determined that the excavation chamber is stagnant. The PLC system then issues a belt weight control command to increase the foam injection volume and the screw conveyor speed until the flow rate returns to normal. If otherwise, it is determined that the cutterhead is under-dug, and the PLC system will then issue a belt weight control command to increase the amount of foam injection, increase the cutterhead speed and the screw conveyor speed until the weight returns to normal. ② When the actual monitoring value of the conveyor belt slag monitoring device If over-excavation occurs, the PLC system will issue a belt weight control command to increase the foam injection volume, reduce the cutter head speed and the screw conveyor speed until the weight returns to normal.

[0019] The method for detecting and controlling the amount of slag discharged from a tunneling machine according to the present invention further includes the following steps: Step 5: Evaluation of the regulation effect; Step Six: The tunnel boring machine resumes normal muck removal and tunneling, and the muck removal volume of the tunnel boring machine is detected and controlled.

[0020] Furthermore, the specific process of step five is as follows: After adaptive control, based on the data monitored in real time by the soil chamber pressure monitoring device, the screw conveyor slag monitoring device, the slag flow monitoring device and the belt slag monitoring device, it is determined whether it is within the corresponding threshold range. If so, the control is deemed normal, and step six, normal slag removal and tunneling, is executed. If not, the control is deemed abnormal, and the PLC system immediately issues an early warning signal, entering manual intervention mode.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) Precise control and real-time dynamic regulation: This invention comprehensively monitors key parameters during shield tunneling by deploying multi-dimensional monitoring units. It adopts a multi-source parameter collaborative control model to combine data such as soil chamber pressure, slag discharge volume, geological conditions, and shield machine operating status for comprehensive analysis and regulation. Furthermore, it adjusts construction parameters in real time through a dynamic feedback mechanism, ensuring the flexibility and responsiveness of construction and significantly improving the accuracy and reliability of the control effect.

[0022] (2) Automatic early warning and manual intervention guarantee: This invention sets a safety threshold. When the PLC system detects that the soil chamber pressure, the amount of slag discharged from the screw conveyor, or other critical parameters exceed the safe range, it immediately and automatically issues a warning signal. Simultaneously, the PLC system also provides a manual intervention option. This dual protection mechanism of automatic control and manual intervention further enhances the safety during construction and the equipment's adaptability to different geological formations.

[0047] Preferably, the specific process for judging the muck discharge volume of the tunnel boring machine's muck discharge device based on the actual monitoring data detected by the belt muck monitoring device 504 is as follows: The belt conveyor slag monitoring device 504 can monitor a weight range of... ,in: For belt conveyors under no-load conditions (no slag + safety threshold) (Time) monitoring data; For belt conveyors to be fully loaded (100% soil and waste transport rate + safety threshold) (Time) monitoring data; The threshold value set by the conveyor belt slag monitoring device 504 is: (95% transport rate of construction waste + safety threshold) (Time), when the monitored value When the slag discharge is normal, the cloud platform module displays normal slag discharge; otherwise, the slag discharge is abnormal. The actual monitoring value of the conveyor belt slag monitoring device 504 If so, it is determined that there is under-excavation or delayed drainage; The actual monitoring value of the conveyor belt slag monitoring device 504 If so, it is determined that over-excavation has occurred.

[0048] Step 4: Based on the judgment results of the slag discharge volume of the shield machine's slag discharge device, adaptively adjust the slag discharge strategy of the screw conveyor 102 and the belt conveyor 103.

[0049] Specifically, the adaptive control methods for the muck removal device of the tunnel boring machine include pressure control in the excavation chamber, screw weight control, muck flow control, and belt weight control.

[0050] Preferably, the specific process for regulating the pressure inside the excavation chamber is as follows: ① When the actual monitoring value of the soil chamber pressure monitoring device 501 is For example, the duration of the cutterhead torque of the tunnel boring machine is the actual monitored pressure value in the excavation chamber within 5 minutes, and the monitored value... If the torque of the cutterhead of the tunnel boring machine continuously exceeds the set torque value, then check whether the torque of the cutterhead continuously exceeds the set torque value. If so, it indicates that there is slag buildup in the excavation chamber or mud cake formation on the cutterhead. In this case, the foam system is controlled to increase the amount of foam injected into the cutterhead, excavation chamber, screw conveyor, and / or slag hopper to increase the flushing effect in the excavation chamber until the actual monitoring value of the soil chamber pressure monitoring device 501 returns to the threshold range (i.e., the pressure in the excavation chamber returns to normal). If not, it indicates that there is under-excavation. In this case, the amount of compressed air injected into the excavation chamber is controlled to increase the advance speed of the tunnel boring machine during the excavation process until the actual monitoring value of the soil chamber pressure monitoring device 501 returns to the threshold range (i.e., the pressure in the excavation chamber returns to normal).

[0051] ② When the actual monitoring value of the soil chamber pressure monitoring device 501 Time (e.g., within a set time of 5 minutes, and) If the result is negative, it indicates that there is over-excavation or mud cake consolidation on the cutterhead. In this case, check whether the cutterhead torque continuously exceeds the set torque value. If so, it indicates that there is over-excavation of the cutterhead or solidified mud cake. The problem can be solved by controlling the foam system to increase the amount of foam injected into the cutterhead, excavation chamber, screw conveyor and / or slag hopper, increasing the flushing degree of the cutterhead and reducing the cutterhead speed, until the actual monitoring value of the soil chamber pressure monitoring device 501 returns to the threshold range (i.e. the pressure in the excavation chamber returns to normal). If not, it means that the rest of the tunneling is normal. Then, the problem is solved by controlling the foam system to increase the amount of foam injected into the cutterhead, excavation chamber, screw conveyor and / or slag hopper, as well as increasing the screw conveyor speed and the pressure relief valve of the excavation chamber, until the actual monitoring value of the soil chamber pressure monitoring device 501 returns to the threshold range (i.e. the pressure in the excavation chamber returns to normal).

[0052] Preferably, the specific process for adjusting the helical weight is as follows: ① When the actual monitoring value of the slag monitoring device 502 of the screw conveyor... Time (e.g., within a set time of 5 minutes, and the monitored value) (This may result in under-digging or delayed excavation. In this case, the PLC system checks whether the cutter head torque continuously exceeds the set torque value.) If so, it is determined that the excavated soil in the excavation chamber is stuck. The PLC system then issues pressure control commands to solve the problem by increasing the amount of foam injection and increasing the speed of the screw conveyor, until the weight returns to normal. If otherwise, it is determined that the cutterhead is under-dug, and the PLC system will then issue a screw weight control command to solve the problem by increasing the amount of foam injection and increasing the speed of the cutterhead, until the weight is restored to normal. ② When the actual monitoring value of the screw conveyor slag monitoring device 502 Time (e.g., within a set time of 5 minutes, and the monitored value) Over-excavation may occur. In this case, the PLC system checks whether the cutterhead torque continuously exceeds the set torque value, or whether the monitoring pressure in the excavation chamber remains excessively high within the set time. ; If so, it is determined to be over-excavation. The PLC system then issues pressure control commands to solve the problem by increasing the amount of foam injection and reducing the speed of the cutter head, until the weight returns to normal. If otherwise, it is determined that the screw conveyor speed has increased. Subsequently, the PLC system issues screw weight control commands to address the problem by increasing the foam injection volume and reducing the screw conveyor speed, until the weight returns to normal.

[0053] The preferred process for controlling the flow rate of construction waste is as follows: ① When the slag flow monitoring device 503 actually monitors When this happens, under-digging or delayed excavation may occur. In this case, the PLC system checks whether the cutterhead torque is continuous (e.g., within a set time of 5 minutes, and the monitored value is within a certain range). The torque value exceeds the set value, or the weight of the slag conveyor remains low for a set period of time. ; If so, it is determined that there is stagnation in the excavation chamber or solidified mud cake on the cutterhead. The PLC system then issues a slag flow control command to address the problem by increasing the foam injection volume, increasing the cutterhead flushing, and increasing the screw conveyor speed, until the flow rate returns to normal. If otherwise, it is determined that the cutterhead is under-dug, and the PLC system will then issue a soil flow control command to solve the problem by increasing the foam injection volume and increasing the cutterhead speed, until the flow returns to normal. ② When the slag flow monitoring device 503 actually monitors In case of over-excavation, the PLC system will issue a control command for the excavated soil flow rate, which will be implemented to address the problem by increasing the amount of foam injected, reducing the speed of the cutter head and the screw conveyor, etc., until the flow rate returns to normal.

[0054] Preferably, the specific process for adjusting the belt weight is as follows: ① When the actual monitoring value of the conveyor belt slag monitoring device 504 Time (e.g., within a set time of 5 minutes, and the monitored value) Under-excavation or delayed discharge may occur. In this case, the PLC system checks whether the cutterhead torque continuously exceeds the set torque value, or whether the weight of the excavated soil on the screw conveyor remains low for a set time. ; If so, it is determined to be a blockage in the excavation chamber. The PLC system then issues a belt weight control command to increase the foam injection volume, screw conveyor speed, and other measures to solve the problem until the flow rate returns to normal. If otherwise, it is determined that the cutterhead is under-dug. The PLC system then issues a belt weight control command to increase the amount of foam injection, increase the cutterhead speed, and increase the screw conveyor speed to solve the problem until the weight returns to normal. ② When the actual monitoring value of the conveyor belt slag monitoring device 504 In case of over-excavation, the PLC system will issue a belt weight control command to solve the problem by increasing the amount of foam injection, reducing the speed of the cutter head and the screw conveyor, until the weight returns to normal.

[0055] Step 5: Evaluation of the regulation effect; The specific process is as follows: The PLC system performs adaptive control in step four. After issuing corresponding control commands through the PLC system to control the key monitoring system / position and multi-dimensional linkage control, the effect is evaluated to see if it has returned to the set threshold range. If so, the control is determined to be normal, and step six, normal slag removal and tunneling, is executed. If otherwise, the control is determined to be abnormal, and the PLC will immediately issue an early warning signal and enter manual intervention mode. If the soil chamber pressure regulation is abnormal, it may indicate that the geological survey of the proposed tunnel is inaccurate or that the soil chamber pressure monitoring device 501 is malfunctioning. It is necessary to manually reset the pressure threshold or repair the soil chamber pressure monitoring device 501 according to the actual situation until the pressure returns to normal, the abnormal warning is eliminated, and then proceed to step six. If the screw weight control is abnormal, the initial weight threshold may be inaccurate or the screw conveyor slag monitoring device 502 may malfunction. It is necessary to manually reset the screw weight threshold or repair the screw conveyor slag monitoring device 502 according to the actual situation until the weight returns to normal, the abnormal warning is eliminated, and then proceed to step six. If the control of the construction waste flow rate is abnormal, the initial flow rate threshold may be inaccurate or the construction waste flow rate monitoring device 503 may malfunction. It is necessary to manually reset the construction waste flow rate threshold or repair the construction waste flow rate monitoring device 503 according to the actual situation until the flow rate returns to normal, the abnormal warning is eliminated, and then proceed to step six. If the belt weight control is abnormal, the initial weight threshold may be inaccurate or the belt slag monitoring device 504 may malfunction. It is necessary to manually reset the slag flow threshold or the belt slag monitoring device 504 according to the actual situation until the weight returns to normal, the abnormal warning is eliminated, and then proceed to step six. Step Six: Normal muck removal and tunneling; The specific method is as follows: After the PLC system evaluates the control effect in step five and eliminates abnormal warning signals, the tunnel boring machine resumes normal muck discharge and tunneling, completing the detection and control of the muck discharge volume of the tunnel boring machine.
