Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shield tunnel model testing technology, and in particular to a shield tunneling simulation test device. Background Technology

[0002] The shield tunneling simulation test device is an important supporting tool for the development of shield tunneling technology. Its technological progress is directly related to the safety, efficiency and economy of tunnel engineering.

[0003] Patent specification CN221053690U discloses a shield tunneling simulation test device, including a simulation box simulating geological strata, a shield tunneling device, and a reaction frame. The shield tunneling device is housed within the simulation box and is equipped with a hydraulic rod. One end of the hydraulic rod is connected to a connecting rod to transmit hydraulic thrust to the reaction frame. A front steel plate is mounted on the reaction frame, and the other end of the connecting rod abuts against the front steel plate to provide jacking thrust for the shield tunneling device. This invention transmits the hydraulic thrust generated by the hydraulic rod to the front steel plate of the reaction frame via the connecting rod. The reaction force generated by the front steel plate is then transmitted to the hydraulic rod via the connecting rod to drive the shield tunneling device, providing continuous jacking pressure. This eliminates the need for negative ring segment assembly, simplifies the experimental process, is simple to apply, has a wide range of applications, avoids direct stress on the segments causing damage, and is easy to install, disassemble, and manufacture.

[0004] However, in implementing the relevant technology, the above-mentioned shield tunneling simulation test device has the following problems: the medium inside the simulation box is drilled by the shield tunneling device for simulation operation, but there is no structure to squeeze the medium to simulate pressure, which makes it impossible to truly reproduce the tunneling conditions of the shield machine in high-pressure soil layers. This results in a large deviation between the test data and the actual construction situation, reduces the reliability of the test results, and weakens the practicality and scientific research value of the test device. In view of this, a shield tunneling simulation test device is provided to overcome the above defects. Utility Model Content

[0026] As a further implementation of the above technical solution: a through circular groove is provided at the upper and lower edges of the linkage plate 4, and the diameter of the circular groove matches the diameter of the support column 3. A threaded hole is provided at the center of the linkage plate 4, and the inner wall diameter of the threaded hole matches the diameter of the first threaded rod 5.

[0032] Working principle:

[0033] When using this invention, the medium is poured into the housing 2 at the upper end of the frame 1. Then, the operating block on the outside of the hollow box 12 is pressed, compressing the first spring 13, causing the block 14 to retract inward, disengaging the outer side of the block 14 from the inner side of the support column 3. Then, the linkage plate 4 is moved downward until the block 14 is engaged in the slot at the lower end of the support column 3, fixing the linkage plate 4 to the outside of the support column 3. Then, the first threaded rod 5 is rotated, pushing the first pressure plate 6 downward to compress the medium. Then, the propulsion motor 15 is started, driving the propulsion threaded rod 16 to rotate, causing the moving plate 17 to move outside the second limit rod 18. The moving plate 17 drives the shield machine mold. The simulator 20 moves and starts the reduction motor 19. The reduction motor 19 drives the front drill bit of the tunnel boring machine simulator 20 to rotate, simulating the drilling situation of the tunnel boring machine in a high-pressure environment, thus improving the credibility of the experiment. The second threaded rod 7 is rotated, causing the second pressure plate 8 and the first limit rod 11 to move at the lower end of the first pressure plate 6, so that the medium in different areas inside the shell 2 is subjected to different degrees of pressure, simulating more complex soil conditions. At the same time, the sensor 9 at the lower end of the second pressure plate 8 transmits the signal to the display 10, thereby more accurately observing the pressure situation. The tunnel boring machine simulator 20 can discharge the drilled medium from the rear end, which falls into the collection box 22 through the discharge port 21, reducing the cleaning burden of the staff.
