[0030] Example: Figures 1 to 7As shown, this embodiment relates to a cutterhead shield machine for a small central guide tunnel for vertical shaft excavation in hard rock strata, which is used for excavating a hard rock stratum 2 in a vertical shaft 3 and can excavate a central guide tunnel 22 on the face 21 of the hard rock stratum 2. The cutterhead shield machine 1 mainly includes a cutterhead assembly 11, a drive assembly 12 and a shield 13. The drive assembly 12 is arranged in the shield 13 and is connected to the cutterhead assembly 11. The shield 13 is provided with a plurality of drilling skylights 14 along its circumference. The drilling skylights 14 can be used to drill blastholes for installing cartridges. The drive assembly 12 drives the cutterhead assembly 11 to rotate, thereby realizing the downward rotation of the cutterhead shield machine 1 to excavate the central guide tunnel 22.
[0031] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the cutterhead assembly 11 includes a cutterhead 111, roller cutters 112, and scrapers 113. The cutterhead 111 includes a central circular cutterhead and sector cutterheads. Six sector cutterheads are arranged along the circumference of the central circular cutterhead, with a slag inlet 114 formed between adjacent sector cutterheads. Three sets of scrapers 113 are located on either side of the sector cutterhead, three sets of roller cutters 112 are located in the middle of the sector cutterhead, and two sets of roller cutters 112 are located on the central circular cutterhead. The two sets of roller cutters 112 on the central circular cutterhead form a cross. The roller cutters 112 and scrapers 113 are used to excavate the hard rock formation 2, thereby forming slag, which can enter the shield 13 through the slag inlet 114.
[0032] like Figures 1 and 2 as well as Figures 5 and 6 As shown, the drive assembly 12 includes a motor 121, a cutterhead frame 123, and a reaction frame 124. The base of the motor 121 is mounted on the reaction frame 124 (reaction plate 1242). The motor shaft 122 is connected to the sector-shaped cutterhead of the cutterhead assembly 11 through the cutterhead frame 123. The motor 121 drives the cutterhead assembly 11 to rotate. The cutterhead frame 123 consists of a connecting disk 1231 and support legs 1232. The connecting disk 1231 is annular. The two sides of the connecting disk 1232 are connected to the motor shaft 122 of the motor 121 and the support legs 1232 respectively. The support legs 1232 are arranged at an angle and are arranged in six directions along the circumference of the connecting disk 1231. The support legs 1232 are connected to the sector-shaped cutterhead of the cutterhead assembly 11. The reaction frame 124 is composed of a fan-shaped support plate 1241, a reaction plate 1242, radial ribs 1243 and arc-shaped ribs 1244. The reaction plate 1242 is circular. There are 6 fan-shaped support plates 1241 arranged along the circumference of the reaction plate 1242. The radial ends of the fan-shaped support plate 1241 are respectively connected to the reaction plate 1242 and the shield 13. The radial ribs 1243 and the arc-shaped ribs 1244 are respectively arranged along the radial direction and arc direction of the fan-shaped support plate 1241 to strengthen the fan-shaped support plate 1241.
[0033] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment also provides a method for tunneling a small central pilot tunnel in a hard rock formation using shield tunneling and annular blasting in steps. The tunneling method mainly includes the following steps:
[0034] S1: A central pilot tunnel 22 is excavated on the tunnel face 21 of the hard rock stratum 2 in the vertical shaft 3 using the cutterhead shield machine 1 .
[0035] When the cutterhead shield machine 1 is located on the tunnel face 21 , the motor 121 of the drive assembly 12 is started, and the motor 121 of the drive assembly 12 drives the cutterhead assembly 11 to rotate, so that the cutterhead shield machine 1 excavates the central guide tunnel 22 downward.
[0036] S2: After the excavation of the central pilot hole 22 is completed, the motor 121 of the driving assembly 12 is turned off.
[0037] S3: Using the drilling window 14 of the shield 13, a blast hole is opened on the hard rock formation 2 around the central guide hole 22, and a charge is installed in the blast hole.
[0038] The blast holes (charge rolls) are arranged radially with the central guide hole 22 as the center.
[0039] S4: Move the cutterhead shield machine 1 upwards, so that the cutterhead assembly 11 of the cutterhead shield machine 1 moves to the tunnel face 21.
[0040] S5: Detonate the explosive cartridge and remove the rock debris produced after the explosive cartridge is blasted.
[0041] S6: Repeat steps S1 to S5 to excavate the next tunnel face 21 until the excavation of the shaft 3 is completed.
[0042] The beneficial technical effects of this embodiment are:
[0043] (1) During the excavation of hard rock shafts, a small-diameter cutterhead shield is used to form a central pilot tunnel, which increases the blasting surface for large-diameter hard rock shaft drilling and blasting, reduces the number of blasting cartridges, and saves costs;
[0044] (2) Shield tunneling is highly safe but suffers from the problem of severe tool wear and high maintenance costs in hard rock formations, while the drilling and blasting method is low-cost but less safe. Combining the advantages and disadvantages of the shield method and the drilling and blasting method, only a small-diameter cutterhead shield is used to form a central pilot hole to increase the blasting free surface, reduce the number of tools and the length of use, reduce tool wear, and save costs;
[0045] (3) Using a small-diameter cutterhead shield machine to construct a large-diameter vertical shaft can reduce the deformation of the shaft surrounding rock and ensure the safety of the shaft construction.
[0046] Although the above embodiments have described the concepts and embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, ordinary technicians in this field can recognize that various improvements and modifications can still be made to the present invention without departing from the scope of the claims, so they are not described here one by one.
