The bottom of the storage container 19 is also connected to a transfer pipeline, which is used to be connected to the mud sewage container 25.

[0028] An air control device, connected to the top of the storage container 19, for pressurizing the storage container 19 or providing negative pressure for the storage container 19;

[0029] The pipeline control device is used to control the on-off of the slurry discharge pipeline 22, the on-off of the slurry inlet pipeline 23 and the on-off of the transfer pipeline respectively.

[0030] Among them, the storage container 19 can be a vacuum tank. According to the actual application scenario of the mud storage device, it can also be a sealed tank installed on a mud transport vehicle, a sealed mud sedimentation box, etc.; the pipeline control device is automatically controlled by an automatic control valve and various sensors. The automatic control valve can also be replaced by a pneumatic control valve, an electric control valve, a hydraulic control valve, a manual valve or a mechanical logic valve. Before starting the device, it should be ensured that the air supply pressure meets the requirements under the construction environment and that the pipelines are connected correctly and that the components work normally; the mud control valve of this embodiment is used in a slurry shield machine as an example;

[0031] It can be understood that, in the use state, the pipeline control device controls the slurry discharge pipeline 22 and the slurry inlet pipeline 23 to be connected; when it is necessary to replace the pipe and release the slurry, the construction equipment is shut down for the pipe replacement operation, and the pipeline control device controls the slurry discharge pipeline 22 and the slurry inlet pipeline 23 to be closed, and the air control system provides negative pressure for the storage container 19, so that the mud between the valve positions on the slurry discharge pipeline 22 and the slurry inlet pipeline 23 is sucked into the vacuum tank by the negative pressure to realize the recovery and storage of the mud, and at the same time facilitates the pipeline extension and pipe replacement operation; when it is necessary to transfer mud, the pipeline control device controls the transfer pipeline to open, and the slurry discharge pipeline 22 and the slurry inlet pipeline 23 are both closed, and the air control device pressurizes the storage container 19 so that the mud in the storage container 19 is transferred to the mud and sewage storage box through the transfer pipeline for secondary utilization. The device realizes closed-loop control of mud recovery and utilization, and quickly and efficiently completes the recovery, storage, transportation and recycling of mud during the pipe replacement process of construction equipment, solves the current leakage problem of mud during transportation and storage, and avoids the environmental pollution problem caused by mud splashing or overflow in the traditional pipe replacement process. The entire mud collection process is pollution-free, zero-emission, and does not require human operation, which greatly saves time and economic costs and greatly improves work efficiency.

[0032] In this embodiment, the gas control device includes a vacuum pipeline connected to the gas source 24, and a vacuum generating unit 1 and an exhaust valve 5 arranged on the vacuum pipeline. The vacuum generating unit 1 can be a vacuum device, a vacuum pump, and the top of the storage container 19 is connected to the vacuum generating unit 1 through a negative pressure pipeline. The negative pressure pipeline is provided with a one-way valve 2, a filter 3 and a vacuum valve 21. When recovering mud, the vacuum valve 21 is opened to connect the vacuum generating unit 1 and the storage container 19, and the exhaust valve 5 is opened to open the vacuum generator vacuum channel, so that the storage container 19 can be vacuumed. The filter 3 can prevent mud from entering the vacuum generating unit 1 to avoid damage;

[0033] Among them, the air control device also includes a vacuum pressure sensor 13 and / or a vacuum pressure gauge 14 arranged on the storage container 19. The vacuum pressure sensor 13 is used to judge whether the vacuum pumping work is completed, and the vacuum pressure gauge 14 can also be used to assist in judging whether the vacuum pumping is completed; in addition, a mud recovery valve 11 is provided on the mud pipeline, which is in an open state during construction operations. When pipe replacement and mud recovery operations are performed, the slurry discharge pipeline 22, the slurry inlet pipeline 23 and the mud recovery valve 11 are all closed. After the vacuum pumping starts, when the pressure of the vacuum pressure sensor 13 reaches the set value, the mud recovery valve 11 opens, so that the passage from the mud in the slurry inlet and outlet pipelines to the vacuum tank is unobstructed, thereby realizing automatic recovery and storage control.

[0034] In this embodiment, the air control device also includes a pressurizing pipeline and a pressurizing valve 4 arranged on the pressurizing pipeline. The two ends of the pressurizing pipeline are respectively connected to the top of the storage container 19 and the vacuum pipeline. That is, when mud is transferred, the pressurizing valve 4 and the mud transfer valve 15 are opened, and the vacuum generating unit 1 pressurizes the storage container 19 through the vacuum pipeline and the pressurizing pipeline, and the mud in the vacuum container is transported to the mud sewage container 25 to achieve secondary utilization.

When the pipe is replaced, the first slurry discharge control valve 7 and the second slurry discharge control valve 9 are closed, and the air control device can vacuum the storage container 19 to provide negative pressure to recover the mud between the first slurry discharge control valve 7 and the second slurry discharge control valve 9, so as to perform the pipe replacement operation, and the mud recovery of the slurry inlet pipeline 23 is the same:

[0037] Furthermore, the pipeline control device further includes a first liquid level detection unit 16 for detecting a low liquid level of the storage container 19 and a second liquid level detection unit 20 for detecting a high liquid level of the storage container 19, wherein:

[0038] Specifically, when the liquid level is lower than the low liquid level, the first liquid level detection unit 16 has no detection result and there is no need to transfer mud. When the liquid level is between the low liquid level and the high liquid level, the mud transfer valve 15 and the pressure boosting valve 4 can be opened to transfer mud. When the liquid level is higher than the high liquid level and is detected by the second liquid level detection unit 20, the action of each valve is automatically controlled to transfer mud, thereby realizing automatic control of transfer and reducing manual operation.

[0039] In some embodiments, a third liquid level detection unit 18 may be provided at a middle liquid level for easier control. Each liquid level detection unit is a liquid level sensor:

[0040] In this embodiment, the pipeline control device also includes a liquid level tube 17 arranged on one side of the storage container 19. The liquid level tube 17 is respectively connected to the first liquid level detection unit 16 and the second liquid level detection unit 20. The liquid level tube 17 is made of transparent material, and the liquid level of the liquid level tube 17 can be observed to determine the mud level height in the storage container 19.

[0041] In this embodiment, the air control device also includes a compensation pipeline connected to the air source 24 and a vacuum compensation valve 8 arranged in the compensation pipeline. The compensation pipeline has a first output end and a second output end. The first output end is connected to the slurry discharge pipeline 22 and the connection position is located between the first slurry discharge control valve 7 and the second slurry discharge control valve 9. The second output end is connected to the slurry inlet pipeline 23 and the connection position is located between the first slurry inlet control valve 10 and the second slurry inlet control valve 12. By setting the compensation pipeline and the vacuum compensation valve 8, compressed air is provided to the slurry discharge pipeline 22 and the slurry inlet pipeline 23 during the recovery operation to balance the negative pressure of the slurry discharge pipeline 22 and the slurry inlet pipeline 23 caused by vacuum extraction.

[0042] By using automatic control valves in conjunction with liquid level detection units and pressure sensors, fully automatic mud storage and recycling are accurately achieved, avoiding the problems of low efficiency and low degree of automation in traditional manual slurrying, greatly reducing the workload of personnel and greatly improving work efficiency.

[0043] On the other hand, this embodiment also provides a tunnel construction system, which is equipped with the above-mentioned mud collection device. It should be understood that this mud collection device is not only suitable for the construction process of slurry shield method, but can also be used for mud collection of equipment such as horizontal drilling rigs or vertical drilling rigs.

For those skilled in the art, the utility model can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
