Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0031] This embodiment aims to provide an extension steel ring for the tunnel portal of a shield tunnel. Its main function is to eliminate the need for manual pile breaking and effectively reduce the dust emitted during pile breaking, thereby creating a healthy working environment.

[0032] Reference Figure 1-4The system includes: ring petals 1, rubber ring plates 6, and hinge plates. Multiple ring petals 1 are joined together along the ring to form a complete steel ring. The inner diameter of the steel ring formed by multiple ring petals 1 is larger than the outer diameter of the shield cutterhead. Each ring petal 1 includes: an extension arc plate 2, an installation arc plate 3, a positioning arc plate 4, and a connecting plate 5. The extension arc plate 2 is welded laterally between the installation arc plate 3 and the positioning arc plate 4. The front end of the extension arc plate 2 is vertically welded to the middle of the rear plate surface of the installation arc plate 3. The positioning arc plate 4 is vertically welded to the outer arc surface of the rear end of the extension arc plate 2 and attached to the working surface. A pair of connecting plates 5 are welded between the extension arc plate 2 and the installation arc plate 3. The extension arc plates 2, installation arc plates 3, and positioning arc plates 4 of two adjacent ring petals 1 are attached end to end. The two adjacent connecting plates 5 on two adjacent ring petals 1 are attached face to face and fixed by fasteners, such as bolts.

[0033] In this embodiment, the outer arc of the positioning arc plate 4 is longer than the outer arc of the mounting arc plate 3, so that the radial length of the positioning arc plate 4 is greater than the radial length of the mounting arc plate 3. Anchor nails 9 are driven perpendicularly to the working face in the middle of the portion of the positioning arc plate 4 that extends beyond the radial length of the mounting arc plate 3. The purpose of making the radial length of the positioning arc plate 4 greater than the radial length of the mounting arc plate 3 is to facilitate the driving of anchor nails 9, so as not to restrict the driving of anchor nails 9 by the distance between the positioning arc plate 4 and the mounting arc plate 3.

[0034] In actual use, the steel ring is attached to the working surface, and then anchor nails 9 are driven vertically on the outer edge of the positioning arc plate 4. The steel ring is then fixed in front of the working surface by the anchor nails 9. The extension steel ring is then fixed. After that, the shield cutterhead is pushed towards the working surface along the center of the steel ring.

[0035] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 A connecting arc plate 10 is provided between two adjacent anchors 9. The two ends of the connecting arc plate 10 are respectively sleeved on the outside of the two adjacent anchors 9. The stability of the connection between the ring petals 1 can be effectively enhanced by the connecting plate 5.

[0036] Reference Figure 1-3 The rubber ring plate 6 is concentrically arranged with the steel ring so that the rubber ring plate 6 is attached to the front plate surface of the mounting arc plate 3. The inner diameter of the rubber ring plate 6 is smaller than the outer diameter of the shield cutterhead, and part of the rubber ring plate 6 is located within the annular space of the steel ring. The purpose is to utilize the excellent deformation capacity of the rubber ring plate 6 to tightly fit the outer wall of the shield machine during the advancement of the shield cutterhead along the annular space of the steel ring, thereby ensuring sealing performance.

[0037] Reference Figure 1-3Multiple hinge plates are distributed along the annular direction of the rubber ring plate 6. The hinge plates include a fixed plate 7 and a flap 8. The fixed plate 7 and the flap 8 are hinged to each other. The fixed plate 7 is attached to the front plate surface of the rubber ring plate 6 and fixed to the corresponding mounting arc plate 3 by bolts. The flap 8 is attached to the front plate surface of the rubber ring plate 6 located in the annular space of the steel ring, and the swing direction of the flap 8 is consistent with the axial direction of the rubber ring plate 6. The flap 8 can prevent the rubber ring plate 6 from deforming in the opposite direction during the advancement of the shield cutterhead, thus ensuring the sealing effect of the rubber ring plate 6.

[0038] In this embodiment, the outer surface of the flaps 8 of the multiple folding plates is provided with a connecting ring 11, and an elastic rope 12 is threaded through the connecting ring 11. The elastic rope 12 is a ring in shape. The multiple folding plates can be strung together by the cooperation of the elastic rope 12 and the connecting ring 11. The purpose is to ensure that all flaps 8 maintain the same shape in a static state, avoid some flaps 8 from swinging outward toward the annular space of the steel ring, and at the same time not affect the flaps 8 from swinging inward toward the annular space of the steel ring.

[0039] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 A positioning tube post 13 protrudes from the center of the side of the fixing plate 7 facing the rubber ring plate 6, and the surface of the rubber ring plate 6 is provided with a through hole corresponding to the positioning tube post 13. The through hole is not shown in the figure. The rubber ring plate 6 and the fixing plate 7 can be quickly assembled by the cooperation of the positioning tube post 13 and the through hole, thereby speeding up the assembly speed of the hinge plate and the mounting arc plate 3. The length of the positioning tube post 13 matches the depth of the through hole, ensuring that the fixing plate 7 is fixed to the corresponding mounting arc plate 3 while also clamping and fixing the rubber ring plate 6. The cavity of the positioning tube post 13 is used for the shank of the bolt to pass through.

[0040] The extended steel ring provided in this embodiment can directly break piles through the shield cutterhead, thereby eliminating the need for manual pile breaking and avoiding threats to the health and safety of workers. At the same time, it can also effectively reduce the dust emitted by the shield cutterhead during pile breaking, thus creating a healthy working environment and achieving excellent results.

[0041] It is understood that the above description is merely exemplary and the embodiments of this application do not limit the scope of the application.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be within the scope of protection of the pending claims of the present utility model.
