[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, in embodiment 1, a lateral stabilization device for longitudinal propulsion includes an up-and-down sliding mechanism 2, a lateral horizontal sliding mechanism 3, and an elastic support mechanism 4. The lateral horizontal sliding mechanism 3 is arranged on the moving part of the up-and-down sliding mechanism 2. The moving part of the up-and-down sliding mechanism 2 drives the lateral horizontal sliding mechanism to adjust the up-and-down position. The elastic support mechanism 4 is arranged on the moving part of the lateral horizontal sliding mechanism 3. The moving part of the lateral horizontal sliding mechanism 3 drives the elastic support mechanism to move horizontally left and right to adjust its horizontal position in the lateral direction. The elastic support mechanism 4 is supported on the ground or a ground auxiliary part to provide lateral support. Under the action of the up-and-down sliding mechanism and the lateral horizontal sliding mechanism, the elastic support mechanism can adjust the vertical and lateral position, so that the elastic support mechanism can provide support at different heights and widths, making the construction method more flexible and more adaptable. By providing lateral support for longitudinal propulsion, the problem of lateral displacement and difficulty in adjustment during longitudinal propulsion in the prior art under the condition of asymmetric soil loads on the left and right sides is solved.
[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, Example 2 is a lateral stabilizing device for longitudinal propulsion. Based on Example 1, the up-and-down sliding mechanism 2 described in this embodiment includes a vertical track 22, a vertical drive member 25, and a lifting block 23. The lifting block 23 is slidably mounted on the vertical track 22, which is fixed to the corresponding tunneling equipment. The lifting block 23 can move up and down along the vertical track 22 under the action of the vertical drive member 25, forming the moving member of the up-and-down sliding mechanism 2. The vertical drive member 25 can be an oil cylinder, an air cylinder, or a power-free screw structure to achieve the lifting and lowering of the lifting block.
[0028] As a preferred embodiment, the vertical track 22 described in this embodiment comprises two symmetrically arranged L-shaped rail plates. A base 21 is provided on the back of the L-shaped rail plates for connection to the tunneling equipment. A lifting block 23 and a vertical drive member 25 are located within a sliding cavity formed by the two L-shaped rail plates. The sliding cavity serves to limit the lifting block and ensure the stable lifting and lowering of the lateral horizontal sliding mechanism and the elastic support mechanism 4. Preferably, the vertical drive member 25 is a vertical cylinder. The fixed end of the vertical cylinder can be connected to the connecting seat 24 via a pin, and the telescopic end of the vertical cylinder is hinged to the lifting block 23 via a pin. To further improve the stability of the lifting block in driving the lateral horizontal sliding mechanism and the elastic support mechanism, two vertical cylinders can be provided. A stroke sensor is provided within the vertical cylinder to monitor cylinder displacement in real time, improving the accuracy of the lifting and lowering adjustment. During operation, the lifting block, driven by the vertical cylinder, can slide up and down along the vertical track, ensuring continuous support of the propulsion stabilization device as the height position of the support structure changes.
[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, Example 3 is a lateral stabilization device for longitudinal propulsion. Based on Example 1 or 2, the lateral horizontal sliding mechanism 3 in this embodiment includes a lateral guide rail, a lateral drive member 35, and a horizontal slide box 36. The horizontal slide box 36 is slidably mounted on the lateral guide rail and, under the action of the lateral drive member 35, moves along the lateral guide rail, constituting the moving member of the lateral horizontal sliding mechanism 3. The lateral drive member 35 can be an oil cylinder, an air cylinder, or an unpowered screw structure to achieve left and right sliding of the elastic support mechanism 4.
[0030] In this preferred embodiment, the transverse guide rails comprise symmetrically arranged right and left horizontal rails 31, 32. These rails are bolted to the lifting block 23, enabling them to slide up and down with the lifting block 23. A transverse drive 35 and a horizontal slide box 36 are located between the right and left horizontal rails 31, 32. The elastic support mechanism 4 is connected to the horizontal slide box 36. Driven by the transverse drive 35, the horizontal slide box 36 can slide horizontally along the right and left horizontal rails 31, 32.
[0031] To further achieve adjustable position of the transverse drive member, a pinhole plate 37 is provided on the inner walls of both the right horizontal track 31 and the left horizontal track 32. This plate 37 is equipped with a plurality of pinholes arranged in a row. The pinholes are arranged along the length of the plate, aligning with the length of the transverse guide rail, i.e., arranged transversely. The transverse drive member 35 is preferably a transverse oil cylinder. The cylinder body of the transverse oil cylinder is provided with a cylinder lug 34, which is connected to the pinhole plate 37 via a pin 33. The pin 34 engages with pinholes at different positions to adjust the transverse position of the transverse drive member 35. Specifically, the cylinder lug 34 is connected to the pinholes at the bottom of the horizontal track via two pins 33, facilitating horizontal position adjustment. A stroke sensor is provided within the transverse oil cylinder to monitor the cylinder's displacement in real time.
[0032] When the existing open channel has a large deviation in the left and right directions, the horizontal slide box 36 can be self-adjusted under the action of the transverse cylinder; first, the transverse cylinder extends to push the horizontal slide box 36 forward. After reaching the predetermined position, the pin shaft 33 is pulled out, and the transverse cylinder pulls back the horizontal cylinder ear seat 34 and moves it forward a distance. Then, the pin shaft 33 is inserted into the horizontal cylinder ear seat 34 and the left and right horizontal track pin holes to complete a horizontal displacement adjustment.
[0033] In this embodiment, as a preferred solution, Figure 4 、 5 As shown, the elastic support mechanism 4 includes a lower support seat 41, which is connected to a ball-jointed base 45 via a floating assembly. The ball-jointed base 45 is provided with a roller 46. Under the action of the floating assembly and the ball-jointed base 45, the roller 46 can always be in close contact with the ground or the ground-connecting auxiliary component to provide stable lateral support. Specifically, the floating assembly includes a cylindrical seat 47 tilted on the lower support seat 41. The cylindrical seat 47 contains a guide post 43 and a disc spring 42 mounted on the guide post 43. The disc spring 42 can be compressed along the guide post 43. The ball-jointed base 45 is connected to a ball-jointed slide 44. The rod portion of the ball-jointed slide 44 slides into the cylindrical seat 47 and corresponds to the disc spring 42. The upper end of the ball-jointed slide 44 is pressed against the disc spring 42 and can slide upward toward the center of the cylindrical seat 47. The ball portion of the ball-jointed slide 44 engages with the ball-jointed base 45, enabling flexible adjustment of the roller 46. Disc springs 42 and ball joints enable roller trolley 46 to follow the surface of sleeper 5 in a slightly contoured manner, providing elastic support. It should be noted that disc springs can also be implemented with other elastic components, such as springs or rubber rings; and hydraulic cylinders or other components can also be used to support roller 46 as needed. As the equipment moves forward, the lower rollers roll along the ground or auxiliary ground connections. Regardless of the undulating support surface, the combined action of disc springs 42, ball joint slide 44, and ball joint base 45 ensures that roller 46 remains firmly in contact with the support surface.
[0034] Example 4: A U-shaped shield machine, such as Figure 6As shown, it includes the longitudinal propulsion lateral stabilization device described in embodiment 2 or 3, and the longitudinal propulsion lateral stabilization device is arranged on the outer side wall of the U-shaped shield machine 1 facing the open channel. Figure 7 As shown, one side is soil 6 and the other side is the existing open channel 7, and the soil loads on both sides of the U-shaped shield machine are asymmetric. At this time, the ground connection auxiliary parts include sleepers 5, and the sleepers 5 are laid longitudinally in the open channel 7. The sleepers 5 are angular brackets, and the rollers are attached to their inclined surfaces, providing lateral support for the U-shaped shield machine with the help of the open channel. The sleepers 5 are placed at the bottom of one side of the open channel 7 to increase the contact area of the roller trolley 46 to prevent the existing open channel 7 structure from being crushed. The sleepers 5 can be provided with multiple sections to meet the required distance for the equipment to travel in one day, and the sleepers 5 are connected by bolts. The stable support device provides continuous support for the U-shaped shield machine, and can also be tightened after each ring is advanced, providing only a static tightening mode. The elastic support mechanism of the stable support device is supported in the open channel 7, and the stable support system can also be directly supported on the ground and other structures, such as Figure 8 shown.
[0035] Operation method of the lateral stabilization device for longitudinal propulsion on the U-shaped shield machine:
[0036] Step 1: Use a crane to place the sleeper 5 at the bottom of one side of the open channel 7 along the forward direction of the U-shaped shield machine.
[0037] Step 2: Adjust the position of the transverse cylinder so that the roller is located above the sleeper 5, that is, close to the inclined surface of the sleeper 5.
[0038] Step 3: Adjust the vertical cylinder to press the roller against the sleeper, observe the cylinder pressure, and when the cylinder overflows to a certain pressure, the roller trolley begins to provide support.
[0039] Step 4: The U-shaped shield machine moves forward and the rollers move forward synchronously to provide continuous support force.
[0040] Step 5: After the rollers advance a certain distance, the sleepers 5 are laid forward in a circular motion in the forward direction under the action of the crane. In U-shield construction where the soil load on the left and right sides is asymmetrical, this can provide continuous lateral support for the U-shield machine, improve the shield's ability to resist lateral displacement, and enhance the equipment's stability.
[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
