Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of slurry shield construction, in particular to a slurry pipe replacement and telescopic device suitable for split starting of a large-diameter slurry shield. Background Art

[0002] A slurry shield pumps a certain concentration of slurry into the shield's slurry chamber. As the soil and groundwater removed by the cutterhead flow into the excavation along the cutter grooves, the slurry concentration and pressure in the slurry chamber gradually increase, balancing the soil and water pressure on the excavation surface. This forms a mud film or a permeable wall formed by the mud-water pressure on the excavation surface, providing stable excavation. A slurry loop is formed through the slurry inlet and outlet pipes. The slurry carries the soil to the slurry-water separation station through the slurry discharge pipes, where the dry slag is separated, allowing the excavation to proceed in a circular manner. Continuous excavation is achieved by continuously extending the slurry pipelines.

[0003] The split launch of a large-diameter shield machine is a technical challenge in shield construction, especially under space-constrained conditions. How to split the shield machine and reassemble it inside the tunnel becomes a key issue. For the split launch process of a large-diameter slurry shield, in addition to considering the assembly and lifting of the shield machine, the extension of the slurry pipe is also a key consideration. Existing slurry shields reserve a sufficient length of hose on the top of the trolley to allow the inlet and outlet pipes to move forward. The trolley position remains relatively unchanged, and the pipe change operation is completed by moving the pipe-changing device traveling frame. However, since the pipe-changing device is generally installed at the end of the last trolley, in some cases where the launch shaft is small and the trolley cannot be fully lowered, the pipe change process cannot be carried out underground. Furthermore, conventional slurry pipe-changing devices occupy a large space and are complex to operate, making the installation of the ring pipe device impossible in some confined spaces. As the shield advances, how to achieve the expansion and contraction of large-diameter, high-strength slurry pipes is also a prerequisite for the successful implementation of split launch. In view of the above problems, the present invention studies a slurry pipe replacement system suitable for split-starting of a large-diameter slurry shield. Summary of the Invention
