AI Technical Summary
The existing shield cutterhead mud cake test device cannot realistically simulate the evolution process of mud cake under the coupled effects of pressure, shear and opening ratio, resulting in low construction efficiency.
An experimental device was designed, comprising a pressurizing mechanism, a cutter head mechanism, and a rotary lifting mechanism. The device applies simulated oncoming pressure from bottom to top through a rubber airbag and a piston plate. Combined with detachable blades to adjust the opening ratio and a servo motor to drive the cutter head to rotate, the device dynamically simulates the formation process of mud cake.
It achieves a realistic simulation of the mud cake formation process, improves the dynamic testing capability of experimental data, and enhances construction efficiency and data consistency.
