Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tunnel boring machine technology, and in particular to an in-tunnel cutterhead tilting system, a tilting disassembly method, and a tilting installation method. Background Technology

[0002] The cutterhead of a tunnel boring machine (TBM) is the core component of the TBM tunneling system, responsible for the crucial function of cutting through soil and rock. During the final stages of TBM construction, the recovery of the cutterhead inside the tunnel has always been a challenging problem affecting both efficiency and safety. As a core component weighing tens of tons and with a complex structure, the rotation and transfer of the cutterhead must be completed within the narrow, enclosed space of the tunnel.

[0003] Currently, there are two main solutions: The segmented dismantling inside the tunnel relies on manual operation, using simple equipment such as hand-operated hoists and small electric hoists to disassemble the cutterhead into several small pieces and transport them one by one. This method is limited by the confined space inside the tunnel, restricting the workers' operating range. Not only is the construction efficiency extremely low, but the lack of precision in manual operation also increases the risk of accidents such as falls and collisions during the transport of heavy components. Furthermore, segmented dismantling requires cutting and damaging the cutterhead's connecting structure, which greatly increases the difficulty of subsequent repair and reuse. Some damaged components are even rendered unusable, resulting in serious waste of resources and economic losses.

[0004] The overall hoisting and dismantling relies on large hoisting equipment such as 100-ton crawler cranes to rotate the cutterhead. However, the limitations of such large hoisting equipment are more pronounced in tunnel environments: on the one hand, the narrow tunnel space makes it difficult for large cranes to enter and position themselves. Even if they are managed to operate, it is necessary to repeatedly coordinate the crane's position, cutterhead angle adjustment, and balance control. Slight deviations can lead to problems such as one-sided friction and horizontal displacement of the cutterhead, which not only aggravates the wear of the hoisting wheel assembly but may also cause the crane to overturn due to improper support. On the other hand, the complex operation process results in low rotation efficiency, seriously delaying the overall construction progress. Furthermore, the stability during hoisting is difficult to guarantee, and the risk of equipment collision damage and personnel mechanical injury remains high, indirectly increasing construction costs.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical solutions are generally inefficient. Therefore, a safe and rapid cutterhead tilting device inside the tunnel is an indispensable key piece of equipment in shield tunneling and an important guarantee for modern shield tunneling. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that these descriptions are for the purpose of aiding understanding the present invention, but do not constitute a limitation thereof. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0021] As attached Figure 1-12 As shown, the present invention provides an in-hole cutterhead tilting system, comprising: A flip bracket 10 is used to connect to and support the cutter head 70, and has a hinged lug 11 and a flip lug 12 on the back. The movable bracket 20 is used to support and move the flip bracket 10. It is provided with a hinge ear seat 21 on the top, which cooperates with the hinge ear 11. When the hinge ear 11 and the hinge ear seat 21 are aligned, a pin can be inserted to hinge the flip bracket 10 and the movable bracket 20 together. The hinge base 30 is used to support the flip bracket 10. The front end is provided with a flip ear seat 31. Both the flip ear plate 12 and the flip ear are provided with connecting pin holes. When the flip ear plate 12 and the flip ear seat 31 are aligned, a pin can be inserted to hinge the flip bracket 10 and the hinge base 30 together. Two sets of first fixed lugs 14 are spaced apart on the back of the flip bracket 10. The movable bracket 20 and the hinge base 30 are both provided with second fixed lugs 41. A flip power cylinder 42 is detachably installed between the first fixed lugs 14 and the second fixed lugs 41. The flip power cylinder 42 is used to drive the flip bracket 10 to flip. The power cylinder control module, used to control the tilting power cylinder 42, includes a pump station and a control unit for controlling the pump station, which is connected to the tilting power cylinder 42 via a pipeline.

[0022] Furthermore, two sets of hinged lugs 11 are spaced apart along the front-rear direction of the movable bracket 20, and the hinged lugs 11 and the first fixed lug 14 are alternately spaced apart. To facilitate the transfer of the movable bracket 20, a track 33 is laid on the hinged base 30 into which the movable bracket 20 can slide, and the movable bracket 20 is slidably connected to the track 33 via wheels.

[0023] Furthermore, the in-tunnel cutterhead tilting system also includes a traveling bracket 50, which is detachably connected to the front end of the movable bracket 20. The traveling bracket 50 is slidably connected to the track 33 via traveling wheels. When the movable bracket 20 moves the cutterhead 70, the traveling bracket 50 balances the movable bracket 20, preventing the movable bracket 20 from being affected by the cutterhead 70 and causing it to tilt due to instability of the center of gravity.

[0024] Furthermore, support brackets 60 are provided between the bottom of both sides of the movable bracket 20 and the hinged base 30. When the movable bracket 20 supports the cutter head 70 and rotates, the stability of the movable bracket 20 is improved by the support brackets 60. The movable bracket 20 is provided with detachable side supports 22 on both sides. The side supports 22 abut against or connect to the tunnel sidewall, further improving the stability of the movable bracket 20. The bottom of the hinge base 30 is provided with an arc-shaped rib 32 that matches the bottom of the tunnel, making the hinge base 30 more stable. The front of the flip bracket 10 is provided with multiple sets of positioning holes that mate with the connection holes of the cutter head 70. The outer edge of the flip bracket 10 is provided with a positioning protection frame 15 that mates with the back of the cutter head 70. The back of the cutter head 70 is protected by the positioning protection frame 15. The connecting hole on the flip ear piece 12 is a strip hole 13.

[0025] As attached Figure 13-21 As shown, a method for disassembling and reversing a cutterhead inside a tunnel, based on the above-mentioned cutterhead reversing system, includes: By aligning the two sets of hinged lugs 11 of the flip bracket 10 with the two sets of hinged lugs 21 of the movable bracket 20, and inserting pins respectively, the flip bracket 10 is installed on the movable bracket 20. A mounting groove is dug in the working area inside the shield, and the hinge base 30 is installed in the mounting groove, with the upper surface of the hinge base 30 flush with the bottom surface of the working area inside the shield. A track 33 is laid on the hinged base 30, into which the movable bracket 20 can slide. The movable bracket 20 is slidably connected to the track 33 via a traveling wheel. By pushing the movable bracket 20, the movable bracket 20 and the flipping bracket 10 are transferred to the working area inside the shield. Support brackets 60 are installed between the bottom of both sides of the movable bracket 20 and the hinged base 30. Remove the pins from the hinge lug 11 on the side of the flip bracket 10 away from the cutter head 70 and the hinge lug 21 on the side of the movable bracket 20 away from the cutter head 70. Take the hinge point of the hinge lug 11 on the side of the flip bracket 10 close to the cutter head 70 and the hinge lug 21 on the side of the movable bracket 20 close to the cutter head 70 as the flip point. Flip the flip bracket 10 towards the cutter head 70 until the flip lug 12 and the flip lug 31 are opposite each other. Insert the pins to make the hinge base 30 and the flip bracket 10 hinge together. Remove the pin between the flip bracket 10 and the movable bracket 20, flip the flip bracket 10 towards the cutter head 70 until the flip bracket 10 and the cutter head 70 are opposite each other, and fix the cutter head 70 and the flip bracket 10. Install the tilting power cylinder 42, and install side supports 22 on both sides of the movable bracket 20 so that the other end of the side support 22 abuts or connects to the tunnel sidewall. A jack is installed under the tilting bracket 10. Guided by the strip hole 13 on the tilting lug 12, and in conjunction with the tilting power cylinder 42, the cutter head 70 and the tilting bracket 10 are lowered a certain distance, leaving space for the cutter head 70 to tilt inside the shield. Then, by controlling the action of the tilting power cylinder 42, the cutter head 70 is tilted towards the moving bracket 20 until the hinge lug 11 on the side of the tilting bracket 10 near the cutter head 70 is opposite to the hinge lug 21 on the side of the moving bracket 20 near the cutter head 70. A pin is inserted to make the moving bracket 20 and the tilting bracket 10 hinged to each other. The tilting power cylinder 42 between the tilting bracket 10 and the moving bracket 20 is then removed. Continue to rotate the rotating bracket 10 until the hinge lug 11 on the side of the rotating bracket 10 away from the cutter head 70 is opposite to the hinge lug 21 on the side of the movable bracket 20 away from the cutter head 70. Insert the pin so that the rotating bracket 10 is supported on the movable bracket 20. Remove the rotating power cylinder 42 between the rotating bracket 10 and the hinge base 30. The mobile bracket 20 is connected to the walking bracket 50 on the side near the hinged base 30. The walking bracket 50 is slidably connected to the track 33 through the walking wheels. The support bracket 60 and the side support 22 are removed. The cutter head 70 is transferred out of the shield body through the walking bracket 50, the mobile bracket 20 and the flipping bracket 10. Remove track 33 and hinged base 30.

[0026] Compared with existing technologies, by adopting a flipping device that allows the cutterhead 70 to be flipped and disassembled as a whole without relying on large hoisting equipment, the safety risks are effectively avoided. It can adapt to different working conditions inside the tunnel, avoid damage to the cutterhead 70, and achieve efficient recycling and reuse of the cutterhead 70, taking into account efficiency, adaptability and economy.

[0027] As attached Figure 22-30 As shown, in order to adapt to the installation requirements of the cutterhead 70 in special tunnel working conditions, a method for rotating and installing the cutterhead in tunnel is also provided. Based on the above-mentioned cutterhead rotation system in tunnel, it includes: By aligning the two sets of hinged lugs 11 of the flip bracket 10 with the two sets of hinged lugs 21 of the movable bracket 20, and inserting pins respectively, the flip bracket 10 is installed on the movable bracket 20. Fix the cutter head 70 to the tilting bracket 10; A mounting groove is dug in the working area inside the shield, and the hinge base 30 is installed in the mounting groove, with the upper surface of the hinge base 30 flush with the bottom surface of the working area inside the shield. A track 33 is laid on the articulated base 30, into which the movable bracket 20 can slide. The traveling bracket 50 is connected to the side of the movable bracket 20 near the articulated base 30. The traveling bracket 50 and the movable bracket 20 are slidably connected to the track 33 through traveling wheels.
