Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shield machines, in particular to an articulated ring supporting device for a shield machine and a large-diameter passive articulated shield machine. Background Art

[0002] With the development of science and technology and the continuous improvement of urbanization, tunnel construction is gradually moving towards greater depth and larger diameter. As the preferred equipment for urban tunnel projects, large-diameter shield machines will usher in a period of rapid development and be widely used because they can meet the construction needs of various complex strata, high water pressure, long distances, large depths, and large diameter tunnel projects.

[0003] As the diameter of the shield machine increases, the technical difficulty and cost of the shield equipment will also increase, and the price will be more expensive. Under the premise of meeting the turning radius of the tunnel, compared with the active articulation, the use of a passive articulated large-diameter shield can effectively reduce costs and have more advantages in market competition.

[0004] When the shield machine is constructed in a high water pressure and deep buried stratum, the shield tail hinge ring of the passive hinged shield machine is often the weakest part due to the lack of effective support structure inside the tail shield and hinge ring. And the larger the excavation diameter of the shield machine, the greater the deformation of the tail shield hinge ring. The stress deformation of the tail shield hinge ring will lead to a decrease in the compression of the seal, which will in turn affect the service life of the seal and cause a seal failure accident. In addition, the deformation of the hinge ring makes the tail shield float larger, resulting in uneven stress on the pipe segment, which is easy to damage the pipe segment.

[0005] In the current tunnel construction process, large-diameter passive articulated shield machines often solve sealing failure accidents by increasing the thickness of the articulated ring or by using high-cost active articulated shield machines to ensure the sealing quality of the articulated ring, such as an active articulated shield machine with independent extension and swing over-digging capabilities of the cutter head with publication number CN 110985020 A. Due to the high cost, the above two solutions are not good. The problem of poor sealing effect caused by deformation of the tail shield articulated ring is the main reason that restricts the use of passive articulation in large-diameter shield machines above 10 meters.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, in embodiment 1, a shield machine hinge ring support device includes a hinge ring 5 arranged at the front of the tail shield 3 and sleeved with the tail of the middle shield 2, and a sealing airbag 501 is arranged between the hinge ring 5 and the middle shield 2; the sealing airbag 501 can be arranged in one, two or more ways. In this embodiment, two sealing airbags are arranged as an example, and the hinge ring 5 is sealed by controlling the size of the airbag by high-pressure gas to prevent external slag and pressurized gas from entering the shield machine. A support plate structure 6 is fixed on the inner ring surface of the hinge ring 5, and the support plate structure 6 increases the stability and roundness of the hinge ring 5. A plurality of circumferential anti-twist block structures 10 connected to the support plate structure 6 are arranged between the tail shield 3 and the middle shield 2 along the circumferential direction; the setting of the circumferential anti-twist block structure 10 effectively plays the role of anti-twist of the tail shield. When the shield machine is in normal excavation, the support plate structure 6 ensures the roundness of the hinge ring of the shield machine, preventing the deformation of the hinge ring and the failure of the hinge seal. When the shield machine is excavating under pressure, the rigidity of the support plate structure 6 is large enough to effectively suppress the deformation of the hinge ring, ensure sufficient sealing compression of the sealing airbag 501, ensure the sealing quality of the hinge ring, and effectively extend the service life of the seal. At the same time, the existence of the support plate structure 6 improves the rigidity and stability of the tail shield 3, can significantly suppress the floating of the tail shield 3, ensure the gap between the pipe segment 11 and the shield tail brush 12, and more effectively protect the pipe segment 11, providing safety protection for excavation construction.

[0028] The support plate structure 6 in this embodiment includes at least one support ring plate, and the number of support ring plates can be 1, 2 or more as required to improve the support performance of the hinge ring. The outer arc end of the support ring plate is fixedly connected to the hinge ring 5, and the inner arc end of the support ring plate is provided with a circular support plate 604. The provision of the circular support plate 604 further improves the rigidity of the support plate structure 6.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, embodiment 2 is a shield machine hinge ring support device. Based on embodiment 1, this embodiment is further optimized. The support plate structure 6 in this embodiment includes two support ring plates with the same structure. The two support ring plates are respectively a front support plate 601 and a rear support plate 602. The front support plate 601 and the rear support plate 602 are welded at the front and rear positions of the hinge ring. A plurality of reinforcing ribs 603 are connected between the front support plate 601 and the rear support plate 602 along the circumferential direction; the reinforcing ribs 603 can be small ribs 605 and large ribs, and different positions are welded and fixed to improve the rigidity and strength of the support plate structure. The inner arc end of the front support plate 601 and the inner arc end of the rear support plate 602 are connected by a circular support plate 604; the circular support plate 604 is respectively welded and fixed to the front support plate 601, the rear support plate 602, the large ribs 603, and the small ribs 605; so as to improve the stability of the front support plate 601 and the rear support plate 602. The angle range of the support ring is not limited to 360°, and can be adjusted according to the ground conditions and the length of the shield hinge ring. At the same time, the change in the implementation structure caused by the change in the angle range due to the increase in the number of hinge ring support plates should be covered within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0030] In this embodiment, the front support plate 601 and the rear support plate 602 are provided with a first through hole 608 for the propulsion cylinder 8 to pass through, a second through hole 606 for the articulation cylinder 7 to pass through, and a channel 607 that matches the circumferential anti-twist block structure 10. The front support plate 601 and the rear support plate 602 provide certain support for the propulsion cylinder 8, the articulation cylinder 7 and the circumferential anti-twist block structure 10, and provide reinforcement support for the articulation ring to reduce the deformation of the articulation ring, so as to reduce the possibility of failure of the shield machine seal due to pressure excavation.

[0031] like Figure 4 , 5As shown, the circumferential anti-twist block structure 10 in this embodiment includes a middle shield anti-twist block 1001 connected to the inner side of the tail of the middle shield 2 and a tail shield anti-twist block 1002 arranged on the inner side of the front of the tail shield 3, and the middle shield anti-twist block 1001 is plugged and matched with the tail shield anti-twist block 1002. Specifically, the tail shield anti-twist block 1002 is a hollow cylindrical structure, the middle shield anti-twist block 1001 is a columnar structure, the tail shield anti-twist block 1002 is penetrated by the support plate structure 6, and the middle shield anti-twist block 1001 is plugged into the tail shield anti-twist block 1002 and can slide relative to the tail shield anti-twist block 1002. The tail shield anti-twist block 1002 passes through the channel 607 and cooperates with the middle shield anti-twist block 1001. The support plate structure 6 provides support for the tail shield anti-twist block 1002, and the tail shield anti-twist block 1002 uses the front support plate 601 and the rear support plate 602 as a load-bearing structure, which can reduce the influence of the tail shield anti-twist block 1002 on the deformation of the hinge ring 5, improve the rigidity and stability of the tail shield 3, and can significantly suppress the floating of the tail shield 3.

During normal excavation of the shield machine, the rear end of the thrust cylinder 8 is welded and fixed to the rear partition 101 of the front shield 1 through the first base 801, and is connected to the M-beam 4 by the floating support 9. The front end of the thrust cylinder 8 passes through the hinged ring support device 6, and a boot plate 802 is installed on the head. The thrust cylinder boot plate 802 is pressed on the pipe segment 11, and the extension of the thrust cylinder 8 realizes the propulsion of the shield machine.

[0034] As an implementation mode, the large-diameter passive articulated shield machine in this embodiment further includes an articulated oil cylinder 7, which passes through the support plate structure 6, one end of which is fixed to the M-shaped beam 4 through the second base 701, and the other end of which is fixed to the tail shield 3 through the support 702. The rear end of the articulated oil cylinder 7 is welded and fixed to the M-shaped beam 4 through the second base 701, and the articulated oil cylinder 7 passes through the articulated ring support plate structure 6, and the front end is connected to the tail shield 3 through the support 702, and the turning of the shield machine is realized.
