Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of tunneling equipment, in particular to a shield top collapse detection device, a shield body and a tunneling machine. Background Art

[0002] To monitor soil conditions, shield machines typically install a collapse detection device at the top of the shield. This device measures the distance between the shield and the soil, indirectly reflecting the collapse status of the soil. Prior art methods typically measure the distance between the shield and the soil by measuring the displacement of a probe rod. For example, the applicant's patent application, published as CN109443284A, discloses a shield machine excavation gap measurement device. This device comprises a fixed plate (i.e., a guide sleeve) secured to a pre-reserved mounting hole in the shield shell. The fixed plate is provided with a through-hole (i.e., a slideway) extending through it. A telescopic device with a displacement sensor embedded within the fixed plate is also located within the fixed plate. The telescopic rod of the telescopic device is connected to a probe rod that slides along the through-hole in the fixed plate. Initially, the end of the probe rod is flush with the fixed plate. The telescopic device pushes the probe rod outward until it contacts the tunnel wall. The displacement of the probe rod at this point represents the excavation gap.

[0003] But in reality, the degree of soil collapse and the density of the soil vary in different projects. Especially in construction projects involving soft surrounding rock, the soil is easily compressed, making it difficult to accurately determine when the probe moves to the position where it just contacts the soil. This results in large errors between the measurement results and the actual situation.

[0004] In related technologies, shield machines are typically equipped with tail shield gap detection devices. These devices are equipped with non-contact distance sensors to detect the gap between the tail shield and the segments, thereby determining the tail shield sealing status. For example, the applicant's patent application, published as CN110529126A, provides a comprehensive early warning device for the tail shield sealing of a shield machine. This device is equipped with a tail shield gap detection unit, which includes several distance measurement modules. The distance measurement modules are installed in pre-set holes in the tail shield. These distance measurement modules are equipped with ultrasonic distance measurement sensors (probes) to measure the gap between the tail shield and the segments.

[0005] Unlike contact-type probe distance measurement, non-contact sensors don't directly contact the target object that reflects the signal, resulting in more accurate results when used for soil collapse detection. However, unlike detecting the distance between the tail shield and the segment, when detecting soil collapse, the sensor faces the soil directly. If the sensor is directly exposed, it will easily wear out, seriously shortening its service life. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0076] At present, the distance between the shield shell and the soil is often used to judge the collapse of the soil. However, different soils have different densities, and contact probes easily compress the soil, making it difficult to accurately measure the distance between the shield shell and the soil. In order to solve the above problems, the basic technical concept of the utility model is to provide a shield top collapse detection device that uses a detector based on the principle of non-contact distance measurement to detect the distance between the shield shell and the soil. In order to prevent the detector from being worn by the soil, the detector is installed on a movable seat, and a plug is provided on the movable seat. When detection is not needed, the plug can block the detection hole to prevent the detector from being directly exposed, thereby ensuring the service life of the detector.

[0077] The present invention is described in further detail below in conjunction with the embodiments and drawings.

[0078] Specific embodiments of the shield top collapse detection device provided by the utility model:

[0079] The shield top collapse detection device provided in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, it includes a fixing plate 2, which is used to be fixed to the mounting hole on the top of the shield shell 1. The specific fixing method can be bolt flange 704 connection or welding, preferably welding. A movable seat 3 that can move along the fixing plate 2 is installed on the fixing plate 2. Figure 1-Figure 3 The movable seat 3 shown moves in the direction of the axis of the shield shell 1. For a circular shield shell 1, the top axis direction has more space, which is convenient for arranging various components. In other embodiments, depending on the spatial layout of the top of the shield shell 1, the movable seat 3 can also move in the horizontal direction if there is enough space.

[0080] A detector 10 and a plug 7 are installed on the movable seat 3. The function of the detector 10 is to detect the distance between the shield shell 1 and the soil. It is equipped with a non-contact distance measuring sensor. The non-contact sensor can be an ultrasonic distance measuring sensor, a laser distance measuring sensor, a radar distance measuring sensor, an infrared distance measuring sensor, etc. A through detection hole 201 is provided on the fixed plate 2. The signal of the non-contact sensor can reach the soil through the detection hole 201, thereby realizing distance measurement. The function of the plug 7 is to block the detection hole 201 after the detection is completed to prevent the detector 10 from being directly exposed and to prevent the soil from causing wear of the detector 10. Specifically, the plug 7 should include a columnar plug, i.e., a plug 701. One end of the plug 701 can enter the detection hole 201 to block the detection hole 201. Switching between the detection state and the blocking state is achieved by moving the movable seat 3 to different positions. As Figure 2 As shown, the detector 10 is located opposite the detection hole 201. At this time, the detector 10 can measure the state between the shield 1 and the soil. At this time, the movable seat 3 is in the detection position. After the detection is completed, the movable seat 3 moves to the left in the figure, and the plug 701 of the detector 10 enters the detection hole 201 and blocks the detection hole 201. At this time, the movable seat 3 is in the blocking position. Naturally, in order to be able to upload the detection results to the host computer, the detector 10 also includes a communication module. Figure 2 A wired transmission method is provided, that is, the detector 10 is also connected to a wire harness 1001 and can be communicated with the host computer through the wire harness 1001.

[0081] Compared to contact-based detection in the prior art, the detector 10 in this embodiment does not directly contact the soil during distance measurement, thus preventing soil compression. The measurement results more accurately reflect the degree of soil collapse. Furthermore, after the test is complete, the detector 10 moves to the side, and the plug 701 in the plug 7 seals the test hole 201. This prevents soil from entering the test hole 201 during excavation and causing wear on the detector 10, thereby ensuring the service life of the plug 7.

[0082] Specifically, if Figure 3 As shown, two L-shaped support brackets 4 are mounted on the fixed plate, with the movable seat 3 positioned between and supported by the two support brackets 4. This structure requires no material removal from the fixed plate 2, resulting in lower costs and ease of implementation. Of course, in other embodiments, guide grooves, such as dovetail grooves, may be machined on the fixed plate 2, within which the movable seat 3 moves.

[0083] When the shield top collapse detection device is used in a shield machine, in order to maintain the pressure of the excavation chamber, the movable seat 3 and the fixed plate 2 should be tightly sealed. Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the side surface of the movable seat 3 facing the fixed plate 2 is in close contact with the fixed plate 2, and a sealing ring 8 is provided between the two, and the sealing ring 8 is in a compressed state. On this basis, in order to ensure that the detector 10 and the plug 7 can be installed normally, a detector mounting hole and a plug mounting hole are provided on the movable seat 3. When installing the detector 10, the connecting screw 1002 can be used to fix the outer shell of the detector 10 on the movable seat 3. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the outer shell of the detector 10 and the movable seat 3 are welded together. If the shield top collapse detection device is used for a TBM (hard rock tunnel boring machine), the movable seat 3 and the fixed plate 2 may not be tightly sealed.

[0084] Specifically, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the lower end of the plug 701 of the plug 7 is connected to a flange 704 via a connecting stud 9. A plurality of adjusting studs 703 are axially passed through the flange 704. Each adjusting stud 703 is connected to at least one adjusting nut. When the detection hole 201 needs to be blocked, the adjusting nut is rotated to push the plug 701 toward the detection hole 201 and into the detection hole 201. In other words, Figure 2 and Figure 3 A manual screw-nut mechanism is provided to adjust the movement of the plunger 701. Of course, in other embodiments, an electric push rod or hydraulic cylinder can be used to move the plunger 701. Furthermore, to ensure a sealing effect, a plunger seal 702 is provided on the periphery of the plunger 701.

[0085] Furthermore, in order to ensure a reliable seal between the movable seat 3 and the fixed plate 2 and to avoid damage to the sealing ring 8 when the movable seat 3 moves, in this embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the support bracket 4 is also equipped with an adjustment screw 6 for adjusting the tightness between the movable seat 3 and the fixed plate 2. In the normal sealing state, the adjustment screw 6 is tightened to press the movable seat 3 against the fixed plate 2. When the movable seat 3 moves, the adjustment screw 6 can be loosened appropriately to reduce the friction between the movable seat 3 and the fixed plate 2.

[0086] In order to accurately judge whether the movable seat 3 has moved to the right position, in this embodiment, a positive stop structure and a reverse stop structure are further provided on the fixed plate 2. Figure 2Movement to the right is the positive direction, and the distance between the positive stop structure and the detection hole 201 satisfies the positive movement limit position of the movable seat 3, which is the blocking position, and the distance between the reverse stop structure and the detection hole 201 satisfies the reverse movement limit position of the movable seat 3, which is the detection position. In this way, when the movable seat 3 just hits the positive / reverse stop structure, it can be said that the movable seat 3 has moved into place, which is convenient for the staff to operate. Specifically, the positive stop structure can be the front retaining edge 202 on the fixed plate 2, and the reverse stop structure can be the rear retaining edge 203 on the fixed plate 2. In order to install the movable seat 3, a flat surface can be machined on the fixed plate 2. At this time, a groove structure on the fixed plate 2 will be formed, and the front retaining edge 202 and the rear retaining edge 203 are respectively composed of the two side groove side walls of the groove. Of course, in other embodiments, the positive stop structure and the reverse stop structure can be a baffle welded or bolted to the fixed plate 2.

[0087] In addition, in order to facilitate the staff to operate the movable seat 3 to move, this embodiment is also equipped with a driving device connected between the movable seat 3 and the fixed plate 2. Compared with the way that the staff directly pushes the movable seat 3 to move, this can greatly reduce the labor intensity of the staff. Specifically, the driving device is a telescopic device, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 The driving oil cylinder 5 has one end fixed on the fixed plate 2 and the other end connected to the movable seat 3 via a push-pull member 501. In other embodiments, the driving oil cylinder 5 can also be replaced by an electric push rod or an electric cylinder.

[0088] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the direction of movement when the telescopic output end of the telescopic device extends outward is defined as forward, and the push-pull member 501 is connected to the front end of the movable seat 3. Specifically, the push-pull member 501 can be a rod-shaped structure. This makes the shield top collapse detection device more compact, taking up less space in the front-to-back direction, and avoiding interference with the installation of other equipment within the shield.

[0089] Considering that during construction in some strata, after the plug 701 is removed, mud residue may enter the detection hole 201, thereby affecting the detection results. In this embodiment, the shield top collapse detection device also includes a nozzle (not shown in the figure). The nozzle can be connected to the jet pipe 11 and emit a high-pressure jet medium, which can specifically be a water jet or a gas jet. For a water jet, the nozzle can be directed toward the detection hole 201 to emit high-pressure water to flush the detection hole 201 and flush the mud residue out of the detection hole 201. For a gas jet, the nozzle can be directed toward the detection hole 201 to emit high-pressure gas to blow out the mud residue in the detection hole 201. It should be noted that under normal conditions, the plug 701 blocks the detection hole 201. Even if there is mud residue in the detection hole 201, the amount of mud residue will not be too large. The jet pressure does not need to be too high, and it is sufficient to flush the mud residue out of the detection hole 201. Therefore, the soil will not be damaged, ensuring the accuracy of the detection results.

[0090] In actual application, for downhill working conditions, the flushed mud and debris will flow forward to the tunnel face under the action of gravity, enter the excavation chamber through the cutterhead, and be discharged backward. For uphill working conditions, a recovery hole can be provided on the shield 1, and a recovery pipe can be connected to the recovery hole. The flushed mud and debris will flow backward through the recovery hole and recovery pipe to the slag storage box.

[0091] Preferably, the nozzle is integrated with the detector 10. When the movable seat 3 is in the detection position, the nozzle is located below the detection hole 201. Specifically, a pipe connected to the jet pipe 11 can be provided on the detector 10 to connect to the nozzle. This approach creates a more compact shield top collapse detection device.

[0092] When a nozzle is configured, a radar speed sensor is preferably used. The signal emitted by the radar speed sensor has strong penetrating ability and stronger anti-interference performance, and can ensure detection accuracy even if some mud residue flows back.

[0093] Of course, in other embodiments, it is not difficult to understand that the nozzle can also be installed separately on the movable seat, and the moving stroke of the movable seat should be sufficient to enable the nozzle to move to the position below the detection hole.

[0094] It should be noted that for TBMs excavating in hard rock formations with good stability and low water content, the shield top collapse detection device may not be equipped with a nozzle.
