In the TBM (tunnel boring machine) construction method, efficient material transportation is particularly important. Here are some key information about tunnel construction transfer: TBM tunnel transportation construction method: This method uses a tunnel boring machine to excavate underground rocks and installs a conveying system in the tunnel to transport the excavated rocks and soil from the tunnel to the ground. It has the characteristics of high efficiency, regular linear shape and reduced impact on the surrounding environment. Research on efficient material transportation technology for ultra-long tunnels: With the increasing demand for the construction of ultra-long tunnels, the requirements for material transportation are also getting higher and higher. Research work focuses on how to improve material transportation efficiency and shorten construction period. Optimization of material transportation mode conversion plan: By adding new transportation channels and concrete transfer platforms, the demand for large auxiliary equipment is reduced and the efficiency of concrete transfer is improved. In addition, the optimization of rail transportation track support also helps to increase transportation speed and meet the needs of continuous and rapid excavation of TBM and synchronous lining construction. Method for transporting materials and soil for TBM tunnel construction: The patent proposes a transportation method, including setting up an auxiliary channel between the main tunnel and the horizontal guide tunnel, and setting up temporary transportation lines and multiple horizontal guide transportation lines in the entry section and excavation section of the small TBM machine. This method is coordinated with the construction process to ensure that the transportation of materials and soil is compatible with the excavation progress.

[0043] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention. Example 1

[0044] A highly stable crawler structure used in tunnel construction, see Figures 1 to 6 The design includes a fixed bracket 3 installed on the vehicle chassis, the cross section of the fixed bracket 3 is C-shaped, and its arc is facing outward so that it can be clamped on the vehicle chassis, and the outer arc surface thereof is installed with a support frame 5 and a rotating frame 4, and the end of the support frame 5 is provided with a roller 2, and one end of the two ends of the rotating frame 4 is hingedly connected to the support frame 5, and the other end is hingedly connected to the fixed bracket 3; the rotating frame 4 is provided with a hydraulic telescopic rod 10, and a protective baffle 6 is arranged in front of the roller 2; the roller shaft for installing the roller 2 includes a screw shaft 20 at both ends and a nut shaft 21 in the middle, and the nut shaft 21 is clamped on the support frame 5 and only retains the degree of freedom of rotation, and the screw shaft 20 and the nut shaft 21 are threadedly matched. When the work needs to be converted, the vehicle is first stopped, and then the roller 2 is lowered, and the position of the roller 2 is adjusted to match the track to be matched, and then the roller 2 is further formed to support the entire vehicle, and then the power system is introduced, and the vehicle moves forward or backward with the help of the roller 2. When the track changes to trackless, the working process is reversed. During operation, before the roller 2 bears the load, the screw shaft 20 and the nut shaft 21 can be used to adjust the width to match tracks of various widths.

[0045] The front end of the support frame 5 is provided with a hook joint 9, which is convenient for working in combination with the lifting mechanism.

[0046] Above the hydraulic telescopic rod 10, there is a dust cover 8. On the one hand, it is beneficial to prevent dust for the equipment, protecting the corresponding hydraulic mechanism and pipelines. On the other hand, other supporting equipment can be further installed on the stably installed dust cover 8.

[0047] The hydraulic telescopic rod 10 includes a hydraulic telescopic mechanism, which is connected to a hydraulic source. At the same time, a pressure measuring component is provided in the pipeline connecting the pressure source. The roller 2 is a quick-release roller 2, and its outer contour corresponds to the contour of the track in the construction tunnel. This design can adapt to tracks of multiple standard sizes.

[0048] Between the fixed support 3 and the chassis of the crawler structure, there is a clamping structure. The clamping structure is provided with anchor mounting nails 12, and corresponding positioning holes are provided at the corresponding positions.

[0049] Such as Figure 15 And 16 , between the output shaft of the vehicle and the axle of the roller 2, there is a transmission mechanism driven by a fork-type gear. During the working process, when power needs to be transmitted to the roller 2, the position of the fork-type gear is toggled. By using the transformation of the gear position, the formation of tooth engagement is achieved, and the power transmission is realized. Furthermore, the roller 2 drives the vehicle to achieve displacement. For the sake of clear principle expression, Figure 15 In [reference], a simplified drawing method is adopted, using a square box to represent the power input device in actual work, and in the corresponding actual work, it can be the power input after the transmission shaft turns. The transmission shaft turning includes parallel shaft transmission and crossed shaft transmission. More specifically, it can be additional energy or a branch from the vehicle's own power output. Embodiment 2

[0050] In this embodiment, the working mode is the same as that of Embodiment 1. The specific difference is that detection rods 11 are installed on the main shafts of the rollers 2 on both sides in front of the vehicle. The height of the detection rods 11 is not lower than the lowest height at which the crawler 7 is suspended, and the length of the detection rods 11 is not less than the distance from the edge of the crawler 7 to the roller 2. During the working process, when the detection rods 11 rotate, the detection of foreign objects in space is realized, avoiding foreign objects getting stuck under the crawler 7 and affecting the displacement of the equipment. During the working process, the design of the tunnel determines that usually, the width of the crawler 7, that is, the maximum passing width that the tunnel can accommodate, determines that most of the auxiliary tracks and rollers 2 are difficult to be as wide as the crawler 7. Often, after deformation, the roller 2 can pass on the track while impurities rub against the crawler 7, even causing the equipment to get stuck. This embodiment mainly solves this problem. Detection rods are designed on the outer edge of the roller 2 to detect debris on the traveling track in the space where the crawler 7 passes in advance. Embodiment 3

[0051] In this embodiment, the working principle is the same as that of Embodiment 1. The specific difference lies in that the hydraulic telescopic mechanism includes a main telescopic rod and a side wing telescopic rod that drives the main telescopic rod to swing, ensuring proper steering and adjustment of the vehicle. Specifically, the position and angle of the main compression rod are adjusted by using two side wings. The side wing telescopic rod is not shown in the attached drawings. In actual work, refer to the working principle of the auxiliary hydraulic boot for the steering of the shield machine head. The angle of the fixed support 3 is adjusted by the difference and different angles of the hydraulic supports on both sides. Embodiment 4

[0052] In this embodiment, the working principle is the same as that of Embodiment 1. The specific difference lies in that an auxiliary slag cleaning mechanism is provided on the dust cover 8. The auxiliary slag cleaning mechanism includes a scraper 13 driven by an auxiliary hydraulic cylinder group 16. A rotational connection is provided between the scraper 13 and the auxiliary hydraulic cylinder group 16. The axis of the auxiliary hydraulic cylinder group 16 is parallel to the axis of the hydraulic telescopic rod 10 on the rotating frame 4. A limiting plate 14 is provided on the protection baffle 6 to restrict the degree of freedom of the scraper 13. The installation position of the scraper is parallel to the advancing direction of the vehicle, and a counterweight is installed behind the corresponding transport vehicle. The function of the limiting plate 14 is to achieve the mechanical balance of the equipment and prevent the scraper 13 from tilting.

[0053] The scraper 13 is in the shape of a bucket, with a hollow at the bottom and a push plate 15 provided on the inner side. A push-pull type hydraulic rod group is provided between the push plate 15 and the side. The shape design of the scraper 13 can meet the requirements of slag cleaning with high viscosity and is more suitable for the working conditions of tunnel construction.

[0054] An elastic reset mechanism is further provided between the scraper 13 and the auxiliary hydraulic cylinder group 16. The elastic reset mechanism includes a connecting rod coaxially sleeved at the end of the hydraulic rod. The connecting rod is connected to the end of the hydraulic rod via a spring, and the other end of the connecting rod is installed with the rotational connection. The elastic connection protects the equipment on the one hand and realizes the micro-adjustment of the angle during the working process on the other hand.

[0055] In this embodiment, a counterweight should be installed corresponding to the equipment behind the vehicle to maintain the balance of the equipment and ensure the stability of the small-load equipment. Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
