It also reduces construction efficiency and the continuous operation capability of the equipment, making it less practical. Utility Model Content

[0007] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a shield cutterhead opening sealing device. It solves the problems of the current assembly process between sealing plates, which requires repeated calibration and positioning, and is limited by the narrow working space, resulting in complex process connections. Furthermore, the wear resistance of the sealing plates is not ideal, which makes the surface of the sealing plates prone to local peeling or excessive wear due to abrasive erosion when the device is tunneling in complex strata. This leads to frequent sealing failures, shortened maintenance cycles, and a significant increase in downtime for maintenance and component replacement costs.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a shield tunnel cutterhead opening sealing device, comprising a shield plate A, an anchor plate on one side of the shield plate A, a reinforcing component on one side of the anchor plate, a left mounting bracket on the back side of the shield plate A, a connector inside the left mounting bracket, a fastening nut at one end of the connector, a sealing component on the front side of the connector, a shield plate B on the other side of the shield plate A, and a right mounting bracket on the back side of the shield plate B.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a shield cutterhead opening sealing device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1.

Then, the tail ends of the connectors are inserted into the corresponding left and right mounting brackets, respectively. Initial positioning is achieved through a simple push-in action, requiring no complex tools or additional adjustments. Next, the fastening nuts are used to tighten and secure the tail ends of the connectors, further enhancing connection rigidity through a threaded locking mechanism.

Finally, the seals ensure a tight fit between the connectors and the mounting brackets, significantly improving the overall stability and impact resistance of the shield plate structure. This design avoids the need for repeated calibration and positioning during shield plate assembly, and eliminates the complex process connections caused by limited working space, thus meeting usage requirements.

[0017] 2. This shield tunnel cutterhead opening sealing device comprises a base material layer, an anti-corrosion layer, a first wear-resistant layer, a second wear-resistant layer, and a third wear-resistant layer. During use, the base material layer, made of high-strength chromium-molybdenum steel, serves as the core structural support, ensuring impact resistance and stability. The anti-corrosion layer, made of nickel-plated alloy, possesses strong corrosion resistance, forming a chemical erosion barrier to resist groundwater and chemical corrosion. Finally, the first wear-resistant layer, composed of nano-carbon materials, reduces friction and stress through its self-lubricating properties.

Through gradient transition design and interlayer stress optimization, the risk of interface spalling is eliminated, adapting to multi-size abrasive composite wear conditions. This design improves the wear resistance of the shield plate, preventing localized spalling or excessive wear on the shield plate surface due to abrasive erosion during tunneling in complex strata. It improves construction efficiency and the equipment's continuous operation capability, demonstrating strong practicality. Attached Figure Description
