[0030] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "middle", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown in Figure 3, the specific scheme of the embodiment is as follows: A geological early warning device for a tunnel boring machine includes a stabilizing component 2 installed on the tunnel boring machine body 1. The tunnel boring machine body 1 includes a machine body and a connecting arm 102 installed on the machine body 101. A cutterhead 103 is provided at one end of the connecting arm 102 away from the machine body 101, and an early warning device body 3 is installed inside the stabilizing component 2. The early warning device body 3 is installed on the connecting arm and includes a seismic wave sensor and an electromagnetic wave sensor. The seismic wave sensor is used to monitor the propagation of seismic waves and determine changes in geological conditions. The electromagnetic wave sensor is used to monitor changes in the underground electromagnetic field and further determine geological conditions. The combined use of the two sensors improves the accuracy and reliability of the early warning.

[0033] When the tunneling machine body 1 encounters the interface of different geological conditions during tunneling, seismic waves will be generated, including P waves and S waves, which propagate in the stratum and produce vibrations on the ground or near the tunneling machine. The seismic wave sensor can detect these vibrations and convert them into electrical signals for transmission and processing. By analyzing parameters such as frequency, amplitude, and propagation speed of seismic waves, the seismic wave sensor can determine changes in geological conditions, such as the presence of faults, weak strata, or water-bearing layers, and other potential geological disaster risks.

[0034] During tunneling, when the geological conditions change, the underground electromagnetic field will also change accordingly. The electromagnetic wave sensor can capture these changes in real time and further determine the changes in geological conditions by analyzing characteristics such as the strength, frequency, and distribution of the electromagnetic field.

[0035] When both sensors detect abnormal signals, or one of the sensors detects a severe abnormal signal, the warning device body 3 will immediately issue a warning signal to alert the operator to pay attention and take appropriate measures to avoid or reduce the occurrence of geological disasters.

[0036] The stabilizing assembly 2 includes a mounting box 21 installed on the tunneling machine body 1, which serves as the mounting base for the warning device body 3, providing a stable support environment. The open end of the mounting box 21 is provided with a cover plate 26, which is connected to the mounting box 21 by fixed bolts. The bolt connection between the cover plate 26 and the mounting box 21 ensures airtightness, preventing dust and moisture from entering, and facilitates daily inspection and maintenance work. The cover plate 26 protects the warning device body 3 from external environmental interference and damage. A sealing gasket is provided between the cover plate 26 and the inner side wall of the mounting box 21.

[0037] A sponge pad 211 is installed on the side of the mounting box 21 away from the cover plate 26. The sealing gasket ensures airtightness, and the design of the cover plate 26 makes it easier to open and close. The inner side of the sponge pad 211 is provided with a plurality of return springs 212. One side of the sponge pad 211 is attached to the warning device body 3. The sponge pad 211 and the return springs 212 provide additional shock absorption, further reducing the impact of vibrations on the warning device body 3. When the tunneling machine produces vibrations, the sponge pad 211 and the return springs 212 can absorb and disperse the vibration energy, protecting the warning device body 3 from damage. At the same time, when the fixing device of the warning device body 3 is released, the compressed return springs 212 can eject the warning device body 3, making it convenient to remove. Wire holes 214 are provided on the mounting box 21 for the wires of the warning device body 3 to pass through. The wire holes 214 allow the wires of the warning device body 3 to pass through, facilitating the connection of the warning device body 3 with the tunneling machine control system. The design of the wire holes 214 ensures smooth passage of the wires and prevents dust and moisture from entering.

[0038] The inner side of the mounting box 21 is provided with a pair of clamping plates 22 for clamping and fixing the early warning body 3, one side of the pair of clamping plates 22 close to the early warning body 3 is respectively provided with a buffer pad 221, and the outer side of the pair of clamping plates 22 is provided with a plurality of directional blocks 222.

[0039] One side of the pair of clamping plates 22 away from the early warning body 3 is respectively provided with an air cushion 23 between the inner side wall of the mounting box 21, the pair of air cushions 23 are connected through a connecting pipe, one of the air cushions 23 is provided with an air inlet pipe 231, the other end of the air inlet pipe 231 is connected with an air nozzle 232, the air nozzle 232 is installed on the side wall of the mounting box 21, and the clamping force of the clamping plate 22 is adjusted through inflation and deflation of the air cushion 23, so that the stability of the early warning body 3 is further ensured. Meanwhile, the air cushion 23 also has a certain damping effect, and by controlling the air inlet amount of the air nozzle 232, the inflation degree of the air cushion 23 can be adjusted, so that the clamping force of the clamping plate 22 is adjusted.

[0040] One side of the pair of clamping plates 22 opposite to each other is respectively provided with a plurality of positioning blocks 24, and the early warning body 3 is provided with a positioning groove 25 close to the two sides of the pair of clamping plates 22.

[0041] Although the embodiments of the utility model have been shown and described, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, replacements and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirits of the utility model, and the scope of the utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
