Obviously, the following description of the structure of the accompanying drawings is only some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is used to help understand this utility model, but does not constitute a limitation on this utility model.

[0024] Example:

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1-6 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides a shield machine launching (receiving) bracket, including two box beams 1, which are arranged side by side with intervals along the transverse direction. Multiple box columns 3 are arranged in a rectangular array between the two box beams 1. The box beams 1 and the box columns 3, or two transversely adjacent box columns 3, are fixedly installed by scissor-type support frames 2. The top surfaces of the box beams 1 and the box columns 3 are supported on the lower surface of the shield body of the shield machine. Variable diameter strut structures 5 are provided inside the box beams 1 and the box columns 3 near the top. The telescopic ends of each variable diameter strut structure 5 extend out of the top surface of the box beams 1 or the box columns 3 and support the lower surface of the shield machine's negative ring segment. A trolley traveling frame 4 is fixedly installed between the tops of the two box beams 1, and a shield machine trolley runs on the top of the trolley traveling frame 4.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the top surfaces of the box beam 1 and the box column 3 are both inclined surfaces, which are tangent to the circumferential surface of the outer shield of the tunnel boring machine. By setting the inclined surfaces of the top surfaces of the box beam 1 and the box column 3 in the same transverse plane, a structure with an approximately arc-shaped top surface is formed, thereby effectively supporting the circular outer contour of the tunnel boring machine and improving the stability of the load-bearing structure.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a transverse diaphragm 11 is provided inside the box beam 1 and the box column 3 near the top. Multiple variable diameter strut structures 5 are provided on the top of the transverse diaphragm 11 of the box beam 1 and correspond one-to-one with the positions of multiple longitudinal box columns 3. A variable diameter strut structure 5 is provided at the center of the top of the transverse diaphragm 11 of the box column 3.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the box column 3 is a rectangular structure, with its bottom flush with the bottom of the box beam 1, and rests on the top surface of the concrete base.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figures 5 and 6, this bracket is provided in multiple sets. Each set of brackets is fastened together with the box beams 1 that are closely attached to each other by bolts. This bracket provides stable and firm support to the bottom of the outer shield of the tunnel boring machine through the box beams 1 on both sides and the multiple box columns 3 arranged in a rectangular array in the middle. The box columns 3 are connected in the transverse direction, and the box beams 1 and box columns 3 are connected by scissor-type support frames 2. The longitudinal direction is connected by longitudinal struts 6 to form a complete whole, which further improves the structural strength of this bracket, so that the stress is more uniform and the structure is more solid and reliable. In addition, to further strengthen the strength of each component, vertical partitions 12 are also installed inside the box beams 1 and box columns 3 for reinforcement.

[0030] Meanwhile, each box column 3 of this bracket is equipped with a variable diameter strut structure 5 at its inner top. At the inner top of the box beam 1, along the length direction corresponding to each box column 3, multiple variable diameter strut structures 5 are also provided. By adjusting the length of the top rod 51 of the variable diameter strut structure 5 extending out of the top surface of the box beam 1 and the box column 3, it can adapt to the outer diameter of different models of tunnel boring machines and compensate for the difference between the outer shield body and the negative ring segment diameter of the same tunnel boring machine, thereby providing more stable support for the tunnel boring machine.

[0031] Secondly, by fixing the trolley traveling frame 4 between the tops of the two box beams 1 of this bracket, the trolley traveling frame 4 carries the shield machine trolley, thus enabling the shield machine to move forward smoothly;

[0032] This bracket is suitable for tunnel boring machines with diameters ranging from 14 meters to 17 meters, applicable to both launching and receiving machines. It is highly versatile and flexible in its use. All components are welded using first-class welds. When reusing the machine, only the connecting rods of the box girder base need to be adjusted. The total weight is within 15 tons, and the direct material loss for a single project can be controlled to around 100,000 RMB. The overall service life of the bracket should be no less than 10 years, which greatly reduces the overall cost of use.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the box girder 1 is a strip-shaped trapezoidal structure with a cross-section inclined to the center line of the outer shield of the tunnel boring machine. Its bottom is fixed to the concrete base by pre-embedded bolts around its perimeter. By raising the steel plates at the bottom of the two box girder 1, the overall height of the bracket can be adjusted, thereby allowing for flexible adjustment according to the construction site environment.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the variable diameter strut structure 5 further includes a guide tube 53, which is fixedly installed on the top of the transverse partition 11. Its open end is flush with the top surface of the box beam 1 or the box column 3. A top rod 51 is movably connected inside the guide tube 53. The top of the top rod 51 extends out of the top of the guide tube 53 by placing an adjusting rod 54 inside the guide tube 53 and below it. A positioning pin 52 is inserted into the outer wall of the box beam 1 or the box column 3. The top rod 51 is fixedly connected to the box beam 1 or the box column 3 through the positioning pin 52.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 2 , 4 As shown, when not in use, the top rod 51 of the variable diameter strut structure 5 is hidden inside the box beam 1 or box column 3. When needed, it is taken out, and the adjustment rod 54 of the required increase in height is inserted. Then the top rod 51 is put back and fixed by the positioning pin 52, thereby realizing the operation of adjusting the extension of the top rod 51. Both the top rod 51 and the adjustment rod 54 are made of square steel, which is sturdy, durable and strong.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the trolley traveling frame 4 further includes a box-shaped raised beam 41. The top of the box-shaped raised beam 41 is parallel to the concrete base and is fixedly installed on the top of the box-shaped beam 1. A trolley track 43 is fixedly installed on the top of the box-shaped raised beam 41 along its extended length direction. Multiple reinforcing crossbeams 42 are fixedly installed at equal intervals between the two box-shaped raised beams 41 along their length direction. The tunnel boring machine trolley slides between the tops of the two trolley tracks 43.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, a box-shaped support beam 41 is added to the top of the box-shaped beam 1. By setting the bottom of the box-shaped support beam 41 as an inclined surface to fit with the top inclined surface of the box-shaped beam 1, its top surface is made horizontal, which facilitates the installation of the trolley track 43 and provides a good working environment for the tunnel boring machine trolley. At the same time, in order to match tunnel boring machines of different models and sizes, a shim is added between the box-shaped beam 1 and the box-shaped support beam 41. By pre-designing the thickness, shape and installation position of the shim, the height and spacing of the two box-shaped support beams 41 are controlled, thereby adapting to the structural dimensions of the equipment.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, two longitudinally adjacent box beams 1 are further fixedly installed by bolt assemblies.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
