[0032] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0033] As shown in Figure 1 Example 1, a double-machine TBM includes a large TBM 1 and a small TBM 2 arranged at the lower part of the large TBM 1. The large TBM 1 and the small TBM 2 serve as two excavation devices, and the large TBM 1 and the small TBM 2 simultaneously excavate two tunnels of different sizes. It should be noted that the large TBM 1 can adopt a rectangular or circular shield, and the small TBM 2 can also adopt a rectangular or circular shield. In this embodiment, the large TBM is circular, and the small TBM is circular. The diameter of the large TBM is greater than the diameter of the small TBM, forming a double-circle TBM. The small TBM 2 is connected to the large TBM 1 through a connecting mechanism 3. The connecting mechanism achieves the structural connection of the large and small TBMs. The large TBM 1 is provided with a first slag discharge mechanism 10, and the small TBM 2 is provided with a second slag discharge mechanism 20. The second slag discharge mechanism 20 is connected to the first slag discharge mechanism 10 through a lifting conveyor 30 to form a common slag discharge system. The common slag discharge system adopts a Y-shaped slag discharge line. The first slag discharge mechanism 10 is used to transport the spoil excavated by the large TBM and also used to transport the spoil conveyed by the second slag discharge mechanism to the outside of the tunnel. This structural design eliminates the configuration of the rear matching equipment of the small TBM, reduces the load of the small TBM, reduces the cost, improves the flexibility of the small TBM, and further improves the tunneling efficiency of the small TBM.

[0034] In this embodiment, the tail part of the small TBM 2 is provided with a slag collecting bucket 206. The lower slag inlet of the lifting conveyor 30 is located in the slag collecting bucket 206 and used to transport the spoil in the slag collecting bucket. The spoil excavated by the small TBM is temporarily stored in the slag collecting bucket and then transported to the first slag discharge mechanism through the lifting conveyor, realizing continuous and efficient slag discharge.

[0035] The connecting mechanism 3 in the embodiment includes a fixed connecting rod, which is only used to connect the large TBM, so that the large TBM is located above the small TBM, and the small TBM is located below and at the rear of the large TBM, thereby ensuring the synchronism of the excavation of the two. The two ends of the fixed connecting rod are respectively hinged to the main girder 4 of the large TBM 1 and the shield body of the small TBM 2, thereby realizing the connection between the two. The slag discharging end of the second slag discharging mechanism 20 corresponds to the slag collecting bucket 206, and the slag discharging end of the lifting conveyor 30 corresponds to the slag discharging part of the first slag discharging mechanism 10. As shown in Figure 4 the lifting conveyor 30 is a bucket elevator, the upper part of which is connected to the main girder 4 of the large TBM 1, and the main girder is used to bear the weight of the bucket elevator, thereby reducing the load of the slag collecting bucket and the small TBM. In the embodiment, the bucket elevator can adopt a conventional elevator, the slag inlet of which is located in the slag collecting bucket for slag feeding, and the slag outlet is located above the main machine belt conveyor of the first slag discharging mechanism, thereby completing the slag transportation from the second slag discharging mechanism to the first slag discharging mechanism, realizing the synchronous slag discharging of the large and small TBMs, and satisfying the simultaneous excavation of the main tunnel and the deep drainage ditch, thereby improving the efficiency of tunnel construction.

[0036] As shown in Figure 3 the embodiment 2, a double-machine TBM includes a large TBM 1 and a small TBM 2 arranged at the lower part of the large TBM 1. The large TBM 1 and the small TBM 2 serve as two excavation devices, and the large TBM 1 and the small TBM 2 simultaneously excavate two tunnels of different sizes. It should be noted that the large TBM 1 can adopt a rectangular or circular shield, and the small TBM 2 can also adopt a rectangular or circular shield. In the embodiment, the large TBM is circular, and the small TBM is circular. The diameter of the large TBM is greater than that of the small TBM, thereby forming a double-circle TBM. The small TBM 2 is connected to the large TBM 1 through a connecting mechanism 3, the connection between the large and small TBMs is realized through the connecting mechanism, the first slag discharging mechanism 10 is arranged in the large TBM 1, the second slag discharging mechanism 20 is arranged in the small TBM 2, and the second slag discharging mechanism 20 is connected to the first slag discharging mechanism 10 through a lifting conveyor 30 to form a common slag discharging system. The common slag discharging system adopts a Y-shaped slag discharging line. The first slag discharging mechanism 10 is used to transport the slag excavated by the large TBM, and also used to transport the slag transported by the second slag discharging mechanism to the outside of the tunnel. The structure design eliminates the configuration of the rear matching equipment of the small TBM, reduces the load of the small TBM, reduces the cost, improves the flexibility of the small TBM, and further improves the tunneling efficiency of the small TBM.

[0037] In the embodiment, the tail part of the small TBM 2 is provided with a slag collecting bucket 206, and the lower slag inlet of the lifting conveyor 30 is located in the slag collecting bucket 206, thereby being used to transport the slag in the slag collecting bucket. The slag excavated by the small TBM is temporarily stored in the slag collecting bucket, and then transported to the first slag discharging mechanism through the lifting conveyor, thereby realizing continuous and efficient slag discharging.

[0038] The connecting mechanism 3 in the embodiment comprises at least two steering oil cylinders 207, which are connected between the large and small TBMs in a V shape and divided into two groups. The two ends of the steering oil cylinders 207 are respectively hinged to the main girder 4 of the large TBM 1 and the shield body of the small TBM 2, and have a certain degree of freedom. The steering oil cylinders are used to adjust the tunneling direction of the small TBM, which can be used to excavate a non-linear deep buried water ditch and improve the flexibility of the small TBM. In order to adapt to the small TBM capable of steering, the lifting conveyor 30 is a telescopic elevator. When the tunneling direction of the small TBM changes, the vertical length of the slag discharge changes. Therefore, the telescopic elevator with adjustable vertical length of slag discharge is selected to realize the continuity of slag discharge. The slag discharge end of the second slag discharge mechanism 20 in the embodiment is also corresponding to the slag collecting bucket 206, which is used for receiving and temporarily storing the slag. The slag discharge end of the lifting conveyor 30 corresponds to the slag discharge part of the first slag discharge mechanism 10. The slag in the slag collecting bucket enters the first slag discharge mechanism through the lifting machine, and is transported to the outside of the hole, thereby realizing the combined slag discharge of the large and small TBMs, improving the slag discharge efficiency, and ensuring the synchronization of the large and small TBM excavation.

[0039] As shown in Figure 5 The lifting conveyor 30 in the embodiment comprises an upper shell 301, a lower shell 302 and a conveying chain 303. The upper shell 301 is hinged to the main girder 4 of the large TBM 1, the lower shell 302 is hinged to the inside of the slag collecting bucket 206, and the upper shell 301 and the lower shell 302 are inserted and slidably connected. The lower shell is shorter than the upper shell, thereby reducing the load of the small TBM. It should be noted that in order to further reduce the load of the slag collecting bucket, the lower shell can also be connected to the upper shell by using a vertical oil cylinder, so as to concentrate the weight on the main girder. During the steering process of the small TBM, the upper and lower shells can slide relative to each other to change the length of the entire shell, so as to ensure the continuity of the slag discharge. In addition, the upper shell 301 and / or the lower shell 302 are provided with a chain adjusting mechanism matched with the conveying chain 303. The chain adjusting mechanism is used to adjust the length of the chain, so as to adapt to the shell and the large and small TBMs, and realize the synchronous slag discharge. The conveying chain is similar to other bucket elevators, which has a bucket engaged with an upper sprocket provided in the upper shell and a lower sprocket provided in the lower shell. The upper sprocket is connected with a driving motor, which drives the chain to rotate under the action of the motor, thereby realizing the lifting and transportation of the slag.

[0040] Specifically, as shown in Figure 6As shown, the chain adjusting mechanism in the embodiment includes a telescopic adjusting oil cylinder 304 fixed in the upper housing 301 and / or the lower housing 302, both ends of the telescopic adjusting oil cylinder 304 are provided with an ear seat, and a sprocket 305 cooperating with the conveying chain 303 is rotatably arranged on the ear seat. The telescopic adjusting oil cylinder can be arranged in the upper housing 301 or the lower housing 302 according to the need, or can be arranged in both the upper housing 301 and the lower housing 302, and the specific arrangement position can be selected according to the actual need. The telescopic adjusting oil cylinder preferably adopts a bidirectional telescopic oil cylinder. The oil cylinder is arranged between the endless chain, and both sprockets are engaged with the corresponding chain; when the upper and lower housing directions slide relative to each other to increase the length, the corresponding telescopic adjusting oil cylinder is retracted, the vertical length of the conveying chain is increased, the steering of the small TBM is adapted, and the continuous slag discharge is ensured.

[0041] In order to further improve the stability of the lifting conveyor, the lower part of the main girder 4 of the large TBM 1 is fixedly provided with a sliding box support 306, the sliding box support 306 is provided with a guide rail 307, and the upper housing 301 and / or the lower housing 302 is provided with a sliding block 308. When the upper housing is inserted into the lower housing, the sliding block is arranged on the upper housing 301, and when the lower housing is inserted into the upper housing, the sliding block is arranged on the lower housing. The sliding block 308 and the guide rail 307 are in sliding cooperation. During the steering of the housing with the small TBM, the sliding block slides on the guide rail with the housing, plays a supporting role for the lifting conveyor, ensures the stability, and at the same time reduces the bearing pressure on the small TBM.
