Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tunnel construction technology, and specifically relates to a ventilation device for shield tunnels. Background Technology

[0002] At present, during shield tunneling construction, the only ventilation in the tunnel is supplied by a set of high-power axial flow fans installed at the tunnel entrance. The working environment temperature for shield tunneling operators is generally between 38° and 45°. Due to the long tunnel or hard strata (rock), the equipment operates under high load for a long time, resulting in even higher temperatures in the shield machine area and a poor working environment.

[0003] I. High environmental risks

[0004] 1. Working in long tunnels or tunnels with many rocks in coastal cities is subject to high temperatures. Operators often carry "Huoxiang Zhengqi Water" (a traditional Chinese medicine for heatstroke), but due to the high temperatures, heatstroke is still common among operators.

[0005] 2. Due to the high temperature inside the tunnel and poor air circulation, operators may experience oxygen deficiency and other issues if they work in this environment for a long time, which can easily cause damage to their physical and mental health.

[0006] II. High staff turnover

[0007] Operators working in high-temperature environments for extended periods are prone to irritability and other emotional issues, leading to high staff turnover and significantly impacting production and quality. Utility Model Content

[0013] Furthermore, the support platform includes a base platform, a bottom cross frame, and a support frame. The bottom cross frame is fixedly connected to the lower end of the base platform. The first end of the support frame is fixedly connected to the bottom cross frame, and the second end is fixedly connected to a tunnel segment on one side. The side of the bottom cross frame away from the center of the tunnel is fixedly connected to the tunnel segment through a connector.
