Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of rock tunnel boring machines, in particular to a composite TBM with two slag discharging methods. Background Technique
[0002] The strata traversed by tunnels are becoming more and more complex and the working conditions encountered are becoming more and more severe. The rock tunnel boring (abbreviated as TBM) with a single slag discharging method can no longer meet the needs of tunnel construction. For the traditional TBM that only discharges slag through the central belt conveyor, when the tunnel surrounding rock is broken and collapsed, the cutter head of the TBM is easily stuck, and when the tunnel surrounding rock is broken and water-rich, water inrush and mud gushing are likely to occur. The dual-mode TBM that uses both the central belt for slag discharging and the bottom screw conveyor for slag discharging, such as the dual-mode shield with the application number 202410846613.0, can only be used in conjunction with a shield cutter head without a back plate. Otherwise, the screw conveyor will interfere with the back plate of the cutter head. However, the shield cutter head with only a panel has low strength and stiffness and does not meet the requirements of long-distance tunneling of long-distance TBMs. In addition, the central belt conveyor cannot be retracted in time and it is difficult to cope with sudden mud gushing and water inrush.
[0003] Therefore, in order to solve the engineering problems of the cutter head of the TBM being stuck and mud gushing and water inrush in water-rich and broken strata, inventing a composite TBM with two slag discharging methods that has the functions of central belt slag discharging and bottom screw conveyor slag discharging and can be used in conjunction with a drum-shaped TBM cutter head with both a panel and a back plate is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art at present.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the drawings:
[0022] As Figures 1 - 5As shown in the figure, a composite TBM with two slag discharge methods includes a shield 4. A cutter head 1 is provided at the front end of the shield 4. The inside of the cutter head 1 is a hollow structure. The front wall and the rear wall of the cutter head 1 are a panel and a back plate respectively. Inside the shield 4, a main drive assembly 3 for driving the cutter head 1 to rotate is provided. A belt conveyor assembly 2 passes through the middle of the main drive assembly 3. At the bottom inside the shield 4, a screw conveyor assembly 5 is provided. Behind the inside of the shield 4, a propulsion cylinder 6 and a segment erector 7 are provided. The screw conveyor assembly 5 includes a telescopic shaft 5-1, a cylinder body 5-2, a gate 5-3 and a drive 5-4. The drive 5-4 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the cylinder body 5-2. The drive 5-4 includes a motor for driving the telescopic shaft 5-1 to rotate and a hydraulic cylinder for driving the telescopic shaft 5-1 to extend and retract. The telescopic shaft 5-1 is inserted into the cylinder body 5-2. The telescopic shaft 5-1 includes a shaft sleeve and a mandrel inserted inside the shaft sleeve. A spiral blade is provided on the mandrel. The mandrel is a hexagonal prism. The cross-sectional shape of the inner hole of the shaft sleeve is a hexagon matching the mandrel. The hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed inside the shaft sleeve. The moving end of the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the mandrel. A gate 5-3 for blocking the slag discharge port of the cylinder body 5-2 is provided below the rear end of the cylinder body 5-2. The belt conveyor assembly 2 includes a belt conveyor 2-1, a slag receiving hopper 2-2 and an oil cylinder 2-3. The slag receiving hopper 2-2 is provided at the head position of the belt conveyor 2-1. The slag receiving hopper 2-2 is connected to the main drive assembly 3 through the oil cylinder 2-3. A central slag discharge port is provided on the back plate of the cutter head 1 corresponding to the slag receiving hopper 2-2. Baffles capable of blocking the central slag discharge port are provided at both the front and rear ends of the slag receiving hopper 2-2. The baffle at the front end of the slag scraping plate is located between the panel and the back plate of the cutter head 1, and the baffle at the rear end of the slag scraping plate is located behind the back plate of the cutter head 1.
[0023] Hob mounting seats 1-1 are arranged on the panel of the cutter head 1, and slag scraping plate mounting seats 1-2 and slag inlet 1-3 are arranged at the edge position of the panel of the cutter head 1. A plurality of slag dropping ports 1-4 are symmetrically arranged at the edge of the back plate of the cutter head 1. A plurality of slag chutes 1-5 are arranged between the panel and the back plate of the cutter head 1. Hob is provided on the hob mounting seat 1-1. The hob is used to break rocks. A slag scraping plate is provided on the slag scraping plate mounting seat 1-2. The slag scraping plate scrapes the broken rocks into the inside of the cutter head 1.
[0024] Working principle: When the surrounding rock has good self-stability, the central slag discharge method is adopted: The belt conveyor 2-1 and the slag receiving hopper 2-2 extend into the center of the cutter head 1. The slag scraping plates around the cutter head 1 scrape the rock slag that falls to the bottom of the tunnel after being broken by the hobs through the slag inlet 1-3 into the space between the panel and the back plate of the cutter head 1. The rock slag that enters the space between the panel and the back plate of the cutter head 1 is lifted as the cutter head 1 rotates. Under the action of its own weight, the rock slag radially slides along the slag chutes 1-5 between the panel and the back plate of the cutter head 1 to the slag receiving hopper 2-2 at the center position of the cutter head 1, and then is transported backward through the belt conveyor 2-1.
[0025] When the surrounding rock is broken and lacks water, a large amount of rock debris in front of the cutter head 1 and on the top of the tunnel collapses and enters the cutter head 1, making it difficult for the cutter head 1 to rotate continuously. The bottom slag discharge is assisted by the central slag discharge method: the cutter head 1 is released from the difficulty mode to rotate a slag discharge port 1-4 on the back of the cutter head 1 to the bottom of the tunnel. Then, the telescopic shaft 5-1 of the screw machine assembly 5 is extended by the hydraulic cylinder, and the front end is extended into the slag discharge port 1-4 at the bottom of the cutter head 1. Then, the gate 5-3 at the tail of the screw machine assembly 5 is opened, and the rock debris accumulated in the cutter head 1 is discharged backwards through the screw machine assembly 5. When the amount of rock debris accumulated in the cutter head 1 is reduced and the cutter head 1 can rotate continuously, the telescopic shaft 5-1 of the screw machine assembly 5 is retracted, and the belt conveyor 2-1 is used to discharge the slag.
[0026] When the surrounding rock is broken and rich in water, in order to prevent the open center slag discharge method from causing water gushing and mud bursting, only the bottom slag discharge method is used: first, the belt conveyor 2-1 and the slag receiving bucket 2-2 are retracted from the center of the cutter disc 1, and the baffle on the slag receiving bucket 2-2 closes the center slag discharge port on the back plate of the cutter disc 1. Then, the telescopic shaft 5-1 of the screw machine assembly 5 is extended into the slag discharge port 1-4 at the bottom of the cutter disc 1, and the rock slag is discharged backwards through the screw conveyor assembly, and the water gushing and mud bursting are controlled by adjusting the opening and closing of the tail end gate 5-3 of the screw machine assembly 5; after most of the rock slag accumulated in the cutter disc 1 is discharged, the telescopic shaft 5-1 of the screw machine assembly 5 is retracted and the tail end gate 5-3 is closed; the cutter disc 1 rotates, the thrust cylinder 6 extends, and the TBM excavates the rock and advances forward.
[0027] The belt conveyor 2-1, the main drive assembly 3, the shield 4, the thrust cylinder 2-36, the segment assembler 7, the roller cutter mounting seat 1-1, the scraper plate mounting seat 1-2, the belt conveyor 2-1, the slag receiving bucket 2-2, the cylinder 2-3, and the gate 5-3 are all common standard parts or parts known to those skilled in the art, and their structures and principles can be known to those skilled in the art through technical manuals or through conventional experimental methods, so no further records are made here.
