Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tunnel construction technology, specifically relating to a soil and debris transportation and distribution device suitable for multi-mode shield tunneling machines. Background Technology
[0002] As advanced equipment in tunnel construction, the performance of the tunnel boring machine's (TBM) excavator transportation system directly affects the safety and efficiency of tunnel construction. During multi-mode TBM construction, frequent mode switching leads to prolonged downtime and low tunneling efficiency. Furthermore, frequent mode switching results in frequent pressurized material handling, posing safety hazards. Currently, excavator transportation systems require the installation and removal of devices during mode switching, exhibiting poor flexibility and adaptability, and incurring high equipment maintenance costs.
[0003] As rail transit projects become more widespread, their application scope is also expanding. To meet the multi-functional use of tunnels, tunnel design diameters are increasing, leading to larger volumes of excavated soil during construction. In water-rich strata, screw conveyors are prone to gushing, causing instability at the excavation face and affecting tunnel construction safety. Furthermore, for long-distance shield tunneling, current rail-mounted excavator transport of excavated soil requires filling one section of the soil box before a locomotive pulls it forward, then transporting the second section to the conveyor belt hopper, filling each section sequentially before the locomotive transports the entire load to the outside of the tunnel, resulting in low efficiency.

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] Example 1
[0021] This embodiment provides a soil and material transport and distribution device suitable for multi-mode tunnel boring machines, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes a screw conveyor 1, a soil discharge gate 2, a dry slag transport mechanism, and a mud transport mechanism.
[0022] The screw conveyor 1 is used to transport dry slag or mud, and its tail end is connected to the discharge gate 2. The dry slag transport mechanism is located below the discharge gate 2, and the mud transport mechanism is connected to the output end of the screw conveyor 1. When the discharge gate 2 is open, the dry slag is discharged through the discharge gate 2 to the dry slag transport mechanism to realize the transport of dry slag in water-scarce strata. When the discharge gate 2 is closed, the mud is discharged through the output end of the screw conveyor 1 to the mud transport mechanism to realize the transport of mud in water-rich strata.
[0023] The dry slag transport mechanism includes a dry slag conveying assembly, a first distributor 8, a second distributor 9, and a transport vehicle 12. The dry slag conveying assembly is located above the first distributor 8 and is used to transport the dry slag to the first distributor 8. Both the first distributor 8 and the second distributor 9 include two distributing outlets. The second distributor 9 is located below each distributing outlet of the first distributor 8, and the transport vehicle 12 is located below each distributing outlet of the second distributor 9. The first distributor 8 divides the dry slag into two portions, and the second distributor 9 can divide the dry slag from the first distributor 8 into four portions.
[0024] The slurry transport mechanism includes a screening device 6 for separating dry sludge and wastewater. The screening device 6 is located above the dry sludge conveying assembly and discharges the separated dry sludge into the dry sludge conveying assembly. The slurry transport mechanism also includes a slurry pump 3, a slurry pipeline 5, and a wastewater pipeline 13. The output end of the screw conveyor 1, the slurry pump 3, the slurry pipeline 5, the screening device 6, and the wastewater pipeline 13 are connected in sequence. The slurry is transported to the screening device 6 through the slurry pipeline 5, and the wastewater separated by the screening device 6 flows into the wastewater pipeline 13.
[0025] Working principle:
[0026] When transporting dry slag from water-poor strata, the discharge gate 2 is opened, and the dry slag conveying assembly transports the dry slag to the first distributor 8. The two distribution outlets of the first distributor 8 discharge the dry slag to the second distributor 9. The four distribution outlets of the two second distributors 9 divide the dry slag into four parts, which are then transported by four transport vehicles 12 below the distribution outlets of the second distributors 9. This greatly improves the efficiency of long-distance transportation of dry slag and accelerates the progress of tunneling construction.
[0027] When conveying mud from water-rich strata, the discharge gate 2 is closed when the screw conveyor belt 1 outputs mud. The mud is then transported to the screening equipment 6 through the mud pump 3 and mud pipeline 5 to screen out dry residue and wastewater. The screened dry residue is discharged in the same way as the above-mentioned slag discharge method, and the screened wastewater is discharged to the ground through the wastewater pipeline 13.

The main conveyor belt 4 is used to receive the dry slag discharged from the discharge gate 2 and convey the dry slag to the slag distribution hopper 7.
[0031] Furthermore, the screening device 6 is located above the slag hopper 7, and discharges the separated dry slag into the slag hopper 7.
[0032] Furthermore, the slag hopper 7 is located above the middle of the first material distributor 8, and is used to discharge the dry slag inside it to the first material distributor 8.
[0033] In this embodiment, both the first material distributor 8 and the second material distributor 9 adopt a dual-drive screw conveyor. The dual-drive screw conveyor can divide the dry slag into two parts and convey them in the forward and backward directions.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the outlet of the sewage pipe 13 is equipped with a sewage treatment device 14 for filtering sewage.
[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the dry slag transport mechanism further includes a first mounting frame 10 for mounting the first distributor 8 and a second mounting frame 11 for mounting the second distributor 9. Both the first mounting frame 10 and the second mounting frame 11 include a mounting frame body 101 and a clamp fixing block 102. The first distributor 8 and the second distributor 9 are both mounted on the mounting frame body 101 via clamps that cooperate with the clamp fixing block 102.
