The two dust curtains 400 are spliced ​​to form a barrier surface to prevent dust from floating to the rear of the tunnel boring machine 1. The adjustment port is located between the two dust curtains 400. The outer edges of the dust curtains 400 are respectively in contact with the surrounding walls of the tunnel to achieve dust blocking, so as to concentrate the dust generated by the tunnel boring machine 1 during operation at the front end of the tunnel boring machine 1, and then carry out centralized dust reduction treatment to improve the dust reduction effect.

[0039] In this application, a dust curtain 400 is used to block dust and gather it at the front end of the tunnel boring machine 1 to reduce the harm of dust to the workers at the rear. An adjustment port is provided on the dust curtain 400 for the rotation of the cutting arm 2 to avoid obstruction of the cutting arm 2. The gap between the dust curtain 400 and the cutting arm 2 is closed by a flexible closing member 300 to avoid the possibility of dust floating out from the adjustment port. The water spraying member 500 is used to spray water on the working surface to reduce dust, and the remaining dust is absorbed by the dust removal fan 100 and the dust removal duct 200, and the dust is processed in a centralized manner to improve the dust reduction effect.

[0040] In some embodiments, the dust curtain 400 includes a plurality of blocking panels 410 , which are sequentially spliced ​​together to form a blocking surface for blocking dust.
