Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of underground tunnel construction equipment, and relates to a main drive sealing system for a tunnel boring machine and a main drive for the tunnel boring machine. Background Technology
[0002] During tunnel construction, there are numerous cases of work stoppages, idle time, and even equipment paralysis leading to route rerouting due to damage to key components of tunneling equipment such as tunnel boring machines. Among these, damage to the main drive sealing system is the most prominent. This damage allows foreign objects to enter the drive box, causing damage to critical components such as the main bearing, self-aligning bearing, and pinion gear. This poses a significant construction risk to tunnel construction and is one of the most pressing problems that the industry needs to solve.
[0003] Currently, the main drive sealing system is generally designed to consist of multiple rings installed on the flange or in its cavity and multiple seals that are fixed to it. This structure has the following defects: (1) Once it fails or is damaged in the hole, the rings and seals assembled in each axis need to be disassembled and reassembled one by one from the inside of the main drive sealing system, which affects the work efficiency; (2) Since the seals are fixed, the position of the seals cannot be actively adjusted and the sealing rings need to be passively adjusted to avoid the wear position. This operation is prone to secondary oil leakage, and after the operation, the seals need to be added to improve the sealing performance after adjustment; (3) The need to disassemble and adjust the sealing rings for a long time during the shutdown operation is very likely to bring construction risks, and the nearby strata need to be reinforced, which increases the construction cost; (4) It is inconvenient for manual operation to disassemble and assemble multiple rings and seals in a limited space. Summary of the Invention

[0041] S4: Install the first sealing screw 6, first sealing washer 1, first sealing element 3, and second sealing element 5 as a whole assembly on the outside of the main drive sealing system in their front-to-back positional relationship. Apply the same type of oil as the inside of the drive housing to the outer surface of the first sealing element 3 and the second sealing element 5. Ensure that a certain assembly clearance is maintained between each component and record it. Note that the axial distance between the screw and each washer should be recorded as in S2.

[0043] Preferably, the number of first sealing gaskets 1 can be changed, and gaskets of different thicknesses can be made. The relative position of the outer seal can be actively and flexibly adjusted. The new installation position after adjustment can be simulated from the drawings and compared with the data recorded in S2 and S4.

[0045] Similarly, the same operations described above can be performed on the inner seal.
[0046] Preferably, when the inner seal does not directly contact the excavation chamber, i.e., during normal pressure operation, step S1, the chamber opening operation, can be skipped. However, safety training for personnel and cleaning work around the third seal 19 are still required.
