For the person skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0026] It needs to be explained that, in the case of no conflict, the features in the embodiments of the utility model can be combined with each other.

[0027] For example, Figure 1As shown, a new auxiliary steering device of a composite TBM comprises a base 1, a counter-force plate 8 arranged on the base 1, and a jack acting surface arranged on the counter-force plate 8; the counter-force plate 8 comprises a force plate body, a connecting column 5 arranged below the force plate body, and an auxiliary fixing ring connected to the base 1 through the hoop connecting column 5; the base 1 is provided with an arc-shaped adjusting groove 2, and a plurality of counter-force plate 8 fixing points are arranged in the arc-shaped adjusting groove 2; each fixing point is a groove 3 arranged in a concave manner along the arc-shaped adjusting groove 2, and the size of each groove 3 is adapted to the size of the connecting column 5.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, in the prior art, the counter-force plate 8 is mainly welded at a fixed position, and then the counter-force plate 8 and the TBM base 1 are connected through a jack, so that the TBM is steered through the action of the jack. However, due to the limitation of the fixed position, the counter-force plate 8 can only be re-welded each time the steering is changed to meet the changed force angle. In this mode, on the one hand, it wastes manpower and material resources and requires a large amount of manual operation to repeatedly weld, and on the other hand, the repeated welding / removing of the counter-force plate 8 leads to low work efficiency. In the present application, after the base 1 is fixed to a predetermined position, the specific position of the adjustable counter-force plate 8 is adjusted to adapt to steering at different angles, thereby reducing the welding process and improving work efficiency.

[0029] The auxiliary fixing ring comprises at least two symmetrically arranged hoop rings 7, and at least two supporting ribs 6 are connected to each hoop ring 7. Each hoop ring 7 is provided with an arc-shaped fixing piece, and the supporting ribs 6 are fixed to both sides of the arc-shaped fixing piece. The arc-shaped fixing piece is provided with a hoop butt joint hole. The counter-force plate 8 is fixed through the hoop ring 7, and the base 1 is provided with a plurality of positioning insertion holes 4 for fixing the supporting ribs 6. By adjusting the counter-force plate 8 in different grooves 3 of the arc-shaped adjusting groove 2 and fixing the supporting ribs 6 to different positions, the force direction of the counter-force plate 8 is adjusted, so that it can be applied to steering at different angles.

[0030] The tail end of the supporting rib 6 is provided with a positioning ring matched with the positioning insertion hole 4, and a positioning pin is inserted into each positioning ring and penetrates into the positioning insertion hole 4 of the base 1.

[0031] In specific use, the TBM is first successively lowered from the shaft and then assembled in the first step in the tunnel. After assembly is completed, the TBM needs to be transported to the starting position, which may not be on the same straight line as the shaft position. Therefore, the TBM will encounter steering problems in this process, and the TBM will need to be steered again in place due to the limited space in the tunnel.

[0032] When the steering operation is performed, first, the position of the counterforce plate 8 is set according to the position of the shield machine, specifically, the base 1 needs to be fixed to the appropriate position, then the hydraulic jack is arranged on the base 1 of the shield machine, and the output shaft of the hydraulic jack is connected to the counterforce plate 8, and the output of the hydraulic jack is used to realize the steering of the shield machine.

[0033] After rotating a certain amplitude, the base 1 of the shield machine is offset in a certain direction relative to the initial position, at this time, the counterforce plate 8 cannot be well connected to the hydraulic jack, and the facing of the counterforce plate 8 needs to be changed. According to the specific needs, the installation slot of the counterforce plate 8 can be adjusted, and the direction is adjusted, and then the counterforce plate 8 is fixed again. In this process, mainly using bolts and other detachable parts to change, without adjusting and disassembling the welded base 1, effectively saving the labor cost, improving the work efficiency.

[0034] The above-described and the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and not to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments can still be modified, or some technical features can be replaced by equivalents; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
