Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example
[0025] The mixing effect of the mixing device in the mud mixing chamber of the existing tunnel boring machine is not ideal, resulting in uneven mixing of mud and excavated soil, which affects the quality of the improved excavated soil. Furthermore, the unreasonable design of the chamber structure easily leads to problems such as material accumulation and adhesion to the walls, affecting the normal operation and service life of the equipment. Please refer to [the relevant documentation / reference]. Figures 1-4 The embodiment provides a shield machine mud mixing bin with stirring function, which can effectively improve the mixing effect of mud and improve the fluidity of mud. The shield machine mud mixing bin with stirring function includes a bin body 1, a feeding device installed on the outer surface of the bin body 1, a stirring device installed inside the bin body 1, and a conveying device connected to the bottom of the bin body 1.
[0026] The mixing device includes an inner wall cleaning structure and a mixing structure, with the mixing structure installed at the bottom of the inner wall cleaning structure. The inner wall cleaning structure includes a stirring motor 201, the output end of which is connected to a stirring shaft 202. A cutter 203 is mounted on the outer surface of the stirring shaft 202 near its top. A connecting rod 204 is located at the bottom of the cutter 203, and a scraper 205 is mounted at one end of the connecting rod 204. The mixing structure includes an upper rotating blade 206, a lower rotating blade 207 at the bottom of the upper rotating blade 206, and a rotating wheel 208 at the bottom of the lower rotating blade 207. A tilting plate 209 is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the rotating wheel 208.
[0027] The stirring motor 201 is detachably installed on the top of the silo body 1. The outer surface of the stirring shaft 202 is connected to the middle of the top surface of the silo body 1 through a sealed bearing. The end of the connecting rod 204 away from the scraper 205 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the stirring shaft 202. The outer surface of the scraper 205 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the silo body 1. The upper blade 206 and the lower blade 207 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the stirring shaft 202. The middle of the top surface of the rotating wheel 208 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the stirring shaft 202. The bottom of the tilting plate 209 is slidably connected to the bottom surface of the silo body 1.
[0028] The feeding device includes a soil inlet pipe 101, a mud inlet pipe 102 at the bottom of the soil inlet pipe 101, and a connecting pipe 103 at the bottom of the mud inlet pipe 102.

[0029] By using a mixing device, the cutter 203 crushes the soil clods, while the scraper 205 scrapes the inner wall to prevent the mud from sticking to the inner wall of the silo 1. Then, the upper rotary blade 206, the lower rotary blade 207, and the tipping plate 209 are used to improve the mixing effect of the mud.
[0030] Soil is fed into the silo 1 through the soil inlet pipe 101, while mud is evenly injected into the silo 1 through the mud inlet pipe 102. Then, the mixing motor 201 is started to drive the mixing shaft 202 to rotate. The mixing shaft 202 drives the cutter 203 to rotate, thereby crushing the soil clods. During the rotation of the mixing shaft 202, the connecting rod 204 and the scraper 205 are also rotated. The scraper 205 scrapes the inner wall of the silo 1 to prevent the mud from sticking to the inner wall of the silo 1. During the rotation of the mixing shaft 202, the upper blade 206 and the lower blade 207 are also rotated, thereby creating a counterflow of the mixed mud and improving the mixing effect.

The outer surface of the auger 304 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the discharge pipe 301.
[0032] By setting up a conveying device, the rotary motor 303 drives the auger 304 to convey the mixed mud, which effectively ensures the conveying effect of the mud and prevents material blockage during the conveying process.
[0033] During material conveying, the mixed material is conveyed into the discharge pipe 301 through the connecting pipe 103. Then, the rotary motor 303 is started to drive the auger 304 to rotate, thereby using the auger 304 to convey the material. During the material conveying process, the auger 304 ensures the uniformity of the discharge and effectively prevents material blockage and jamming.
