Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of rubber curtain fabric for shield tunneling, and in particular to a wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant rubber curtain fabric for shield tunneling. Background Technology

[0002] Rubber tarpaulin for tunnel boring machine (TBM) construction is a waterproof material used during TBM construction, primarily to protect the receiving fabric from erosion and damage by cement slurry. It possesses high elasticity and compressive deformation properties, enabling it to deform under various loads, thus providing an effective sealing effect. TBM rubber tarpaulin is typically molded from neoprene rubber using a vulcanizing machine, exhibiting excellent elasticity and abrasion resistance. The tarpaulin sheet consists of the tarpaulin sheet itself, circular rings, fan-shaped flaps, and corresponding connecting bolts and washers. These components require careful assembly during installation to ensure tight fit and coordinated operation between them.

[0003] There is an existing type of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant rubber curtain for shield tunneling. The rubber curtain needs to withstand huge pressure and friction during shield tunneling. Especially during the advancement of the shield machine, the friction between the rubber curtain and the tunnel segments will cause wear. If the wear resistance of the rubber curtain is insufficient, it will wear out too quickly, thus affecting its sealing performance and overall service life. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant rubber curtain for shield tunneling.

[0005] This utility model is achieved by the following technical solution: a wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant rubber curtain for shield tunneling construction, comprising an outer rubber layer, a nitrile rubber fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer rubber layer, a neoprene rubber fixedly connected to the bottom of the nitrile rubber, a curtain reinforcement layer fixedly connected to the bottom of the neoprene rubber, and aramid fiber fixedly connected to the bottom of the curtain reinforcement layer.

[0006] Through the above technical solution, the outermost layer of rubber, as the outermost layer, directly contacts the complex environment during shield tunneling. The presence of nitrile rubber and neoprene rubber greatly enhances the wear resistance and corrosion resistance. During shield tunneling, the rubber curtain may rub against soil, rock particles, etc. The wear-resistant properties of nitrile rubber can reduce wear and extend the service life of the rubber curtain.

[0007] As a further improvement to the above solution, an inner layer of adhesive is fixedly connected to the bottom of the aramid fiber, and a metal connector layer is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner layer of adhesive.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above solution, the chloroprene rubber is located at the bottom of the outer rubber layer, and the nitrile rubber is located at the top of the fabric reinforcement layer.

[0009] The above technical solution addresses the potential presence of various corrosive substances in the construction environment. The corrosion resistance of neoprene rubber can prevent the rubber fabric from being eroded, ensuring the integrity of the structure.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above solution, the inner layer adhesive is located at the bottom of the aramid fiber, and the aramid fiber is located at the bottom of the neoprene rubber.

[0011] Through the above technical solutions, during the shield tunneling process, enormous pressure will be applied to the rubber cord fabric, such as lateral pressure from the soil. The high strength and high modulus properties of aramid fibers enable the rubber cord fabric to withstand these pressures without deformation, ensuring its sealing and protective functions in the shield tunnel.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above solution, the metal connector layer is located at the bottom of the fabric reinforcement layer.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above solution, the metal connector layer is used to reliably connect the rubber curtain to other components.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] This invention features a metal connector layer located at the bottom of the fabric reinforcement layer to reliably connect the rubber fabric to other components. During the assembly of tunnel boring machine (TBM) equipment, the rubber fabric needs to be accurately connected to other structural components. The metal connector layer ensures the strength of this connection, preventing displacement or detachment of the rubber fabric during construction, thus guaranteeing the normal operation of the entire TBM system. In TBM construction, good sealing is crucial to preventing groundwater and mud from seeping into the tunnel. The inner adhesive layer fills tiny gaps, ensuring a tight seal between the rubber fabric and other components, thereby guaranteeing the safety and efficiency of TBM construction.

[0016] This invention features a metal connector layer located at the bottom of the fabric reinforcement layer to reliably connect the rubber fabric to other components. This ensures the integrity and stability of the entire structure, allowing the rubber fabric to be accurately installed on the corresponding equipment or device and to function stably during use, thus increasing the stability after connection.

[0032] The metal connector layer 4 is located at the bottom of the fabric reinforcement layer 2.

[0033] Metal connector layer 4 is used to reliably connect the rubber curtain to other components.

[0034] The implementation principle of a wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant rubber curtain for shield tunneling in this embodiment is as follows: A metal connector layer 4 is set at the bottom of the curtain reinforcement layer 2 to reliably connect the rubber curtain to other components. During the assembly of shield tunneling equipment, the rubber curtain needs to be accurately connected to other structural components of the shield machine. The metal connector layer 4 ensures the firmness of this connection, preventing displacement or detachment of the rubber curtain during construction, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the entire shield tunneling system.
