Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tunnel boring machine technology and relates to a deviation correction device. Background Technology

[0002] Shield tunneling is currently the most widely used method for underground tunnel construction, and the shield tunneling machine is a crucial piece of equipment in shield tunneling. At present, during shield tunneling operations, factors such as uneven geological formations, tunneling on curved sections, and inherent limitations of the shield equipment itself can easily cause an imbalance in the shield's counter-torque, resulting in changes in the shield's roll angle. When the roll angle becomes too large, it leads to shield imbalance and further increases the roll angle, while also affecting the quality of segment assembly and the final formed segment structure.

[0003] During normal tunneling, the cutterhead rotates unidirectionally to cut the tunnel face. The torque generated by the cutterhead rotation can cause the shield to roll, affecting the overall tunneling efficiency. Common measures to restore the shield after roll include adjusting by reversing the cutterhead rotation. However, this has several drawbacks: first, after reversing, the cutterhead is prone to rolling back when it resumes forward tunneling; second, the presence of bearings between the cutterhead and the shield makes the correction effect insignificant; and third, reversing the cutterhead is ineffective when the shield is stuck. Another measure for shield roll is adjusting the thrust cylinder angle. Traditionally, this involves manually adjusting the angles of the thrust cylinders at the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions, applying some thrust tangentially to the tunnel boring machine's rotation to correct the roll, but this method is also ineffective. Therefore, how to adjust and correct a rolling shield is a problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
