In addition, the utility model also relates to a cutting type caisson tunnel boring machine comprising the flushing system for tunnel boring machines. Background Art

[0002] The cutting type caisson boring machine is a kind of boring equipment specially used for caisson construction. It has the characteristics of high efficiency, safety and reliability. It is widely used in various underground projects and infrastructure construction, such as caisson construction of subway tunnels, underground pipe galleries, hydraulic hubs and other projects.

[0003] As the size of caissons increases, geological conditions become more complex. During the construction process, cutting-type caisson boring machines usually use cutting drums for excavation and are equipped with slag bins to collect slag, which are then discharged through submersible slurry pumps. However, when the excavation volume is too large or there are too many large-size slag blocks at the same time, the slag bins can easily be blocked and work can be stopped, seriously affecting the construction progress.

[0004] For example, Chinese invention patent CN117248910A discloses a slag discharge device for a shaft boring machine and a shaft boring machine, wherein the slag discharge device for a shaft boring machine comprises a slag suction box, a crusher and a slag discharge mechanism, wherein the slag suction box comprises a slag suction box body, a grid plate and a sealing cover, wherein the grid plate divides the interior of the slag suction box body into a crushing chamber and a slag discharge chamber, wherein a slag collecting port and a slag discharge port are provided on the slag suction box body, wherein the slag collecting port is connected to the crushing chamber, and the slag discharge port is connected to the slag discharge chamber.

[0025] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in a variety of different ways as defined and covered below.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the flushing system for the tunnel boring machine of this embodiment includes a driving mechanism 10, a cutting assembly for cutting operation connected to the output end of the driving mechanism 10, a slag box 30 connected to the slag discharge end of the tunneling assembly, a slag pump 40 connected to the slag discharge end of the slag discharge box 30, a screening structure 50 arranged between the slag discharge end of the cutting assembly and the slag inlet end of the slag discharge box 30 to prevent large-size slag blocks from entering the slag discharge box 30, and a flushing assembly provided with at least three flushing pipes arranged corresponding to the driving mechanism 10, the cutting assembly and the slag discharge box 30 for flushing the driving mechanism 10, the cutting assembly and the slag discharge box 30 respectively. Optionally, the driving mechanism 10 is a servo motor, and the cutting assembly is connected to the output shaft of the servo motor. Optionally, the slag pump 40 is a submersible slurry pump.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, specifically, the flushing system for a tunnel boring machine of the utility model drives the cutting assembly to work through the driving mechanism 10, so as to cut the soil layer through the cutting operation to form slag, and prevents large-sized slag from entering the slag box 30 through the screening structure 50, thereby blocking the slag box 30 or the slag pump 40, and flushes the slag box 30 through the flushing assembly to further reduce the possibility of blockage of the slag box 30, thereby ensuring the continuous and smooth slag discharge operation, and the large-sized slag continues to be cut by the cutting assembly and becomes small-sized slag. The working end of the cutting assembly needs to cut the large-sized slag while cutting the soil layer, and because the large-sized slag does not enter the slag box 30 in the first time, the slag may cover the driving mechanism 10, causing the temperature of the driving mechanism 10 to be too high And it cannot work. At this time, the cutting component and the driving mechanism 10 are flushed separately through the flushing component to reduce the cutting difficulty of the cutting component, and the slag covering the outer wall of the driving mechanism 10 is removed to ensure the continuity and smoothness of the cutting operation. The small-size slag passes through the screening structure 50 and enters the slag discharge box 30, and is then discharged through the slag discharge pump 40. Compared with the prior art, this scheme performs the cutting operation through the cooperation of the driving mechanism 10 and the cutting component, and then the slag discharge box 30, the slag discharge pump 40, the screening structure 50 and the flushing component cooperate to minimize the possibility of the slag discharge box 30 and the slag discharge pump 40 being blocked. Compared with the prior art, the slag discharge is rapid, the cutting operation is continuous and smooth, the construction progress is fast, the practicability is strong, and it is suitable for wide promotion and application.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the cutting assembly includes an excavation arm 21 and a cutting drum 22 arranged on the movable end of the excavation arm 21 and connected to the output end of the driving mechanism 10. Specifically, the excavation arm 21 drives the cutting drum 22 to move close to the soil layer, and then the driving mechanism 10 drives the cutting drum 22 to rotate to cut the soil layer, thereby performing the cutting operation.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the flushing assembly includes an upper drum flushing pipe 61 arranged on the upper end of the slag discharge box 30 and arranged toward the cutting drum 22, a lower drum flushing pipe 62 arranged on the lower end of the slag discharge box 30 and arranged toward the cutting drum 22, an in-box flushing pipe 63 extending into the slag discharge box 30 and arranged close to the slag discharge pump 40, and an annular flushing pipe 64 arranged outside the driving mechanism 10. Specifically, the slag box 30 is flushed through the flushing pipe 63 in the box to prevent the slag box 30 from being blocked, the top and bottom cutters of the cutting drum 22 are flushed respectively through the upper flushing pipe 61 and the lower flushing pipe 62 to reduce the difficulty of cutting, and the drive mechanism 10 is flushed through the annular flushing pipe 64 to remove the slag covering the drive mechanism 10 to ensure stable operation of the drive mechanism 10, that is, the flushing is carried out in sections through the upper flushing pipe 61, the lower flushing pipe 62, the flushing pipe 63 in the box and the annular flushing pipe 64 to ensure continuous and smooth cutting and slag discharge operations.

[0030] In this embodiment, a plurality of flushing nozzles are provided on the annular flushing pipe 64, and the plurality of flushing nozzles are evenly spaced and arranged along the circumference of the annular flushing pipe 64 and all face the driving mechanism 10.

When the instantaneous slag discharge volume is too large or large-sized slag enters the slag discharge box 30 and may cause a blockage, the inlet and outlet pipes If the pressure of the circuit is abnormal, the two pressure sensors 65 transmit the pressure detection signal to the controller 1, and the controller 1 controls the proportional regulating valve 1, proportional regulating valve 2, and proportional regulating valve 3 to open, thereby opening the upper flushing pipe 61 of the drum, the lower flushing pipe 62 of the drum, and the flushing pipe 63 in the box, so as to flush the cutting drum 22 and the slag box 30 in time to prevent blockage, that is, under the cooperation of the controller 1 and the two pressure sensors 65, the pressure automatic detection feedback and automatic control are realized, and the response processing can be timely to prevent the slag box 30 from being blocked.

Specifically, during the cutting operation, the slag will cover the drive mechanism 10, resulting in insufficient heat dissipation of the drive mechanism 10 and a high temperature alarm. The temperature of the drive mechanism 10 is detected by the temperature sensor. When the temperature of the drive mechanism 10 reaches the warning value, the controller 2 controls the proportional control valve 4 to open, so that the water supply pipe and the annular flushing pipe 64 are opened, thereby flushing the drive mechanism 10 and removing the slag on the drive mechanism 10. After the temperature of the drive mechanism 10 returns to normal, the controller 2 controls the proportional control valve 4 to close, and then closes the water supply pipe. That is, through the cooperation of the temperature sensor and the controller 2, automatic temperature detection feedback and automatic control are realized, and timely response processing can be achieved to ensure the normal operation of the drive mechanism 10. Optionally, the controller 2 is a PLC controller.
