Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of tunnel boring machine components, specifically relating to a tunnel boring machine jack arrangement structure for pre-embedded channel segments. Background Technology

[0002] In the construction of rail transit tunnels, shield tunneling is widely used due to its advantages such as high efficiency, safety, and minimal impact on the surrounding environment. To meet the installation requirements of electromechanical equipment (such as overhead contact lines, pipelines, and cables) within the tunnel, traditional methods typically require drilling holes and inserting expansion bolts or chemical anchors after the shield segments are formed. However, this post-installation method has many drawbacks. Drilling may damage the concrete structure of the segments, even breaking internal reinforcing steel, affecting the overall load-bearing capacity and durability of the tunnel. On-site drilling and installation procedures are cumbersome, prolonging the construction period. Furthermore, working at height poses safety hazards. Later, problems such as loose bolts and corrosion frequently occur, requiring frequent maintenance and increasing operating costs. The dust and noise generated during drilling also harm the health of construction workers and the tunnel environment.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, the technology of pre-embedded contact wire channels in tunnel segments has emerged. This technology embeds the contact wire channels in the segments during the prefabrication stage, allowing for direct fixation of electromechanical components during later installation without the need for drilling. This significantly improves construction efficiency, reduces overall life-cycle costs, and ensures the integrity and durability of the tunnel structure. In recent years, this technology has been gradually promoted in subway projects in China.

[0004] However, for large-section shield tunnels, using full-ring pre-embedded channels would lead to material waste and soaring costs. Therefore, local block pre-embedding is usually adopted in engineering, with channels only pre-embedded in key areas of the tunnel segments. However, existing technologies suffer from insufficient assembly precision, making it difficult to ensure that the pre-embedded blocks are accurately positioned in the tunnel design location, affecting the installation accuracy and stress performance of subsequent electromechanical equipment. How to achieve high-precision sectional assembly of pre-embedded channels for large-section tunnel segments has become an urgent technical challenge to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, one aspect of the present invention is to provide a shield machine jack arrangement structure for pre-embedded channel segment assembly. The arrangement structure includes ten sets of double-root propulsion cylinder jacks and two sets of single-root propulsion cylinder jacks. The arrangement structure divides the shield machine into areas A, B, C, D, E and F. The ten sets of double-root propulsion cylinder jacks and the two sets of single-root propulsion cylinder jacks are arranged in a ring in areas A, B, C, D, E and F.

[0006] Preferably, the double-push cylinder jack includes two push cylinder jacks, a double-push cylinder fixing plate, a double-push cylinder pad plate, and a support shoe.

[0007] Preferably, the single-push cylinder jack includes a single-push cylinder jack, a single-push cylinder fixing plate, a single-push cylinder pad plate, and a support shoe.

[0008] Preferably, zone A is centered on the center of the tunnel boring machine (TBM), extending 15° to the left and right from 0° directly above the ground; zone B is centered on the center of the TBM, extending 52° clockwise from zone A; zone C is centered on the center of the TBM, extending 64° clockwise from zone B; zone D is centered on the center of the TBM, extending 98° clockwise from zone C; zone E is centered on the center of the TBM, extending 64° clockwise from zone D; and zone F is centered on the center of the TBM, extending 52° clockwise from zone E.

[0009] Preferably, one set of double-root propulsion hydraulic cylinder jacks is respectively installed on the center line of the A and B areas, the C and D areas, the D and E areas, and the F and A areas.

[0010] Preferably, a set of single-push hydraulic cylinder jacks is set on the centerline of each of the B and C areas, and the E and F areas.

[0011] Preferably, one set of double-push hydraulic cylinder jacks is installed at the center of area A; two sets of double-push hydraulic cylinder jacks are evenly spaced between the double-push hydraulic cylinder jacks at the center line of areas A and B and the single-push hydraulic cylinder jacks at the center line of areas B and C; three sets of double-push hydraulic cylinder jacks are evenly spaced between the single-push hydraulic cylinder jacks at the center line of areas B and C and the double-push hydraulic cylinder jacks at the center line of areas C and D; and the double-push hydraulic cylinder jacks are evenly spaced between the double-push hydraulic cylinder jacks at the center line of areas C and D. Four sets of double-push hydraulic cylinder jacks are evenly spaced between the inlet cylinder jacks and the double-push hydraulic cylinder jacks along the center lines of zones D and E.

Two sets of double-push hydraulic cylinder jacks are evenly spaced between the single-push hydraulic cylinder jacks along the center lines of zones E and F and zones F and A.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] This solution divides the installation area of ​​the pre-embedded tunnel ducts for shield tunnel segments into five precise segments (A, B, C, D, E, F) and employs modular assembly technology. This achieves precise positioning and efficient construction of pre-embedded tunnel ducts in large-section tunnels, offering the following significant advantages: Zoned control ensures precise installation of the pre-embedded tunnel blocks to the designed tunnel location, avoiding positioning deviations caused by accumulated overall errors in traditional methods. This improves the accuracy and reliability of electromechanical equipment installation. Compared to full-ring pre-embedding, zoned installation only requires setting up tunnels in critical stress areas (such as the top), significantly reducing material usage and saving costs while maintaining structural performance. The modular segmented design makes the assembly process more flexible, reducing adjustment time, accelerating shield tunneling speed, shortening the construction period, avoiding segment damage caused by drilling, ensuring the overall strength and durability of the tunnel, reducing post-maintenance needs, minimizing on-site drilling operations, reducing dust and noise pollution, protecting the health of construction personnel, and meeting green construction requirements.

[0014] This utility model solution is applicable to the construction of large-section shield tunnels. It can significantly improve economic benefits and construction efficiency while ensuring project quality, and has broad application value.

The arrangement structure divides the tunnel boring machine into zones A, B, C, D, E, and F. The ten sets of double-root propulsion cylinder jacks 1 and the two sets of single-root propulsion cylinder jacks 2 are arranged in a ring within zones A, B, C, D, E, and F. Zone A is centered on the center of the tunnel boring machine, with 0° to the left and right and 15° to the right.
