Description

Technical Field

[0002] At present, there is no stepping technology for turning the TBM from uphill to downhill when using TBM for tunnel construction. As the TBM steps from uphill to downhill, the stepping base plate and the main machine will continue to move forward in an uphill posture. At this time, the stepping base plate and the TBM main machine will leave the downhill road surface and become suspended in the air, and the distance between them and the downhill road surface becomes larger and larger, until the center of gravity of the entire stepping base plate and the TBM main machine moves forward, and then they begin to slowly move downward and gradually approach the downhill section of the road surface. If no technical measures are taken during this stepping process, the stepping direction is very likely to deviate. Utility Model Content
