Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to TBM equipment, in particular to a slag collection and cleaning device for a TBM cutter head in an inclined shaft. Background Art

[0002] In TBM (full-face tunnel boring machine) construction, the slag removal process is one of the basic processes of TBM excavation. The slag removal method of flat-hole TBM tunnel construction is: the slag formed by rock breaking is unloaded into the collecting hopper after the bucket rotates to the top, and then transported out of the tunnel by the belt conveyor. However, the slag removal of inclined shaft TBM is different. Part of the slag can be unloaded into the collecting hopper by the bucket rotating to the top, and then transported out of the tunnel by the belt. The remaining slag is accumulated between the back of the cutterhead and the front shield due to the large inclination angle of the inclined shaft TBM equipment and the cutterhead, making it impossible for the bucket to collect it. During the TBM step change process, the slag that is not collected will leak into the inside of the telescopic shield and the tightening shield through the gap between the front shield stabilizer and the rock wall. The space there is small and it is extremely difficult to clean. A lot of manpower and time are required for manual cleaning, which seriously affects the efficiency of inclined shaft TBM construction. In addition, since the TBM cutterhead needs to spray water continuously during excavation, the water combines with the slag on the back of the cutterhead, causing the slag to clump and solidify, making it extremely difficult to clean.

The cutterhead comprises a cutterhead center block and a plurality of cutterhead side blocks. The plurality of cutterhead side blocks are mounted around the periphery of the cutterhead center block. A bucket is mounted on the cutterhead side block. The discharge port of the bucket is connected to the slag collecting bucket. A cleaning device is fixedly mounted on the back of the cutterhead side block and the cleaning device is located between the cutterhead side block and the front shield.

[0006] Preferably, the cleaning device comprises a fixing portion for connecting to the cutter disc edge block and a cleaning portion for cleaning slag collected on the back side of the cutter disc.

[0007] Preferably, the fixing part is provided with a plurality of bolt holes, and the fixing part is connected to the cutter head edge block by bolts, so that it is not only convenient to install and remove, and easy to replace after being worn, but also reliable to fix, so that the cutter head is not easy to rotate and fall off during the rotation process of excavation.

[0008] Preferably, the cleaning part comprises an arc-shaped bucket, and the installation angle of the arc-shaped bucket enables the debris in the arc-shaped bucket to slide into the debris collecting bucket by its own weight after the cleaning device rotates to the upper part along with the cutter disc.

[0009] Preferably, the opening of the arc-shaped bucket is 100-140°, preferably 120°.

[0010] Preferably, a plurality of the cleaning devices are symmetrically distributed and respectively installed on the back of a cutter disc side block to ensure stable operation of the cutter disc and to promptly and effectively clean the accumulated slag on the back of the cutter disc.

[0011] Preferably, the cleaning device is made of wear-resistant steel, which has low cost and simple structure.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0013] The utility model has a slag collecting and cleaning device for the cutterhead of the inclined shaft TBM, which is fixedly installed on the back of the cutterhead edge block, so that during the inclined shaft TBM excavation at a large inclination angle, the rock crushing and slag accumulated between the back of the cutterhead and the front shield caused by the cutterhead's rock breaking is fully disturbed, and the disturbed slag is collected in the slag collecting bucket by the cleaning device, and the cutterhead is idled for several times before the TBM excavation stops, and the cleaning device is used to collect all the slag as much as possible. Therefore, the utility model has reduced the accumulation of slag between the back of the cutterhead and the front shield by installing the cleaning device, reduced a large amount of slag cleaning human resources, and at the same time improved the equipment utilization rate of the inclined shaft TBM, ensuring the efficient construction of the equipment.

[0022] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 The utility model discloses a slag collecting and cleaning device for a cutter disc of a TBM in an inclined shaft. The cutter disc is composed of a cutter disc center block 1 and four cutter disc side blocks 2. The four cutter disc side blocks 2 are installed around the cutter disc center block 1. The cutter disc center block 1 is provided with a face cutter 4, and the cutter disc side blocks 2 are provided with a side cutter 5. The two cutters (face cutter 4 and side cutter 5) are used for squeezing and crushing rocks. A bucket 3 is installed on the cutter disc side block 2 to collect the rocks crushed by the cutter to the slag collecting bucket 7 and then transport them to the outside of the tunnel through a belt conveyor. The slag collecting bucket 7 is arranged in the middle of the cutter disc, and all the slag is collected in the slag collecting bucket 7. A cleaning device 6 is fixedly installed on the back of the cutter disc side block 2 by bolts, and the cleaning device 6 is located between the cutter disc side block 2 and the front shield 8. During the excavation process of the TBM equipment, the cleaning device 6 continuously disturbs the slag collected between the cutter disc side block 2 and the front shield 8, and guides the slag collected into the slag collecting bucket 7 to complete the collection. In this way, the utility model successfully reduces the slag collection on the back of the cutter head by setting the cleaning device 6, improves the utilization rate of the inclined shaft TBM equipment, effectively reduces the labor intensity of slag cleaning workers, and increases the construction efficiency of TBM equipment excavation.

[0023] In this embodiment, the cleaning device 6 includes a fixing portion for connecting with the cutter disc side block 2 and a cleaning portion for cleaning the slag collected on the back of the cutter disc.

The cleaning device 6 is reliably fixed, so that it is not easy to rotate and fall off during the rotation of the cutter disc during excavation. The cleaning portion includes an arc-shaped bucket 62 with an opening of about 120°. When the cutter disc rotates, the arc-shaped bucket 62 of the cleaning device 6 is driven to rotate, thereby shoveling the slag between the cutter disc side block 2 and the front shield 8. After the slag shoveled by the cleaning device 6 rotates to the upper part with the cutter disc, it slides into the slag collecting bucket 7 by the weight of the slag during the rotation process, and can be transported out of the hole by the belt.

[0024] In this embodiment, the cleaning devices 6 are symmetrically distributed and installed on the backs of the four cutter head side blocks 2 respectively.

[0025] In this embodiment, the installation angle of the cleaning device 6 should be simulated according to the excavation angle of the inclined shaft TBM, so that it can guide the slag into the slag collecting bucket 7.

[0026] In this embodiment, the four cleaning devices 6 are all made of wear-resistant steel, which has low cost, simple structure and significant effect.
