[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 3As shown, a bracket for a mobile reaction frame is provided, including a bracket body 1, a mobile reaction frame 2, and a tunnel boring machine body 3. The bracket body 1 is provided with a number of evenly distributed positioning holes 11. The mobile reaction frame 2 is connected to the tunnel boring machine body 3. The bottom of the mobile reaction frame 2 is provided with a first positioning device 5 and a second positioning device 6 that cooperate with the positioning holes 11 to enable the mobile reaction frame 2 to move and be positioned. Reaction frame tracks 4 are provided on both sides of the bracket body 1. The bottom of the mobile reaction frame 2 is connected to the reaction frame tracks 4 by providing wheels 21.

[0026] In this embodiment, the bracket applied to the mobile reaction frame allows the mobile reaction frame 2 to move back and forth on the reaction frame track 4 via wheels 21. If it is necessary to fix the mobile reaction frame 2, the first positioning device 5 and the second positioning device 6 need to be connected with the positioning hole 11 to fix the mobile reaction frame 2 on the bracket body 1. This utility model can adjust the position of the tunnel boring machine at will, and the positioning is stable and the operation is simple, which greatly improves the possibility of completing the project within the time limit.

[0027] In one embodiment of this utility model, the first positioning device 5 includes a first hydraulic cylinder 51, a second hydraulic cylinder 52, and a positioning box 53. The first hydraulic cylinder 51 is horizontally arranged on both sides of the bottom of the movable reaction frame 2. The telescopic end of the first hydraulic cylinder 51 is connected to one side of the positioning box 53. The second hydraulic cylinder 52 is vertically arranged on the top of the positioning box 53. The telescopic end of the second hydraulic cylinder 52 is fixedly connected to a limiting post 54. The limiting post 54 can be movably inserted into the positioning hole 11. Rollers 55 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the positioning box 53.

[0028] Furthermore, the bracket body 1 is provided with a first positioning device track 56 connected to the roller 55.

[0029] In this embodiment, the first positioning device 5 is equipped with two first hydraulic cylinders 51, and their telescopic ends are connected to one side of the positioning box 53. The positioning box 53 is pushed to move, so that the roller 55 moves on the track 56 of the first positioning device. When it moves to the designated positioning hole 11, the second hydraulic cylinder 52 is activated, so that the limiting post 54 is inserted into the corresponding positioning hole 11 and fixed. If it is necessary to move the shield machine body 3 again, the limiting post 54 is retracted before moving. The operation is simple and convenient, and can save a lot of unnecessary time.

[0030] In one embodiment of this utility model, a first shield machine track 13 and a second shield machine track 14 are symmetrically arranged on the bracket body 1.

A certain distance is provided between the bottom of the positioning column 17 and the bottom of the mounting groove 16, which is reserved for the insertion of the limiting column 54 to avoid collision with the bottom of the mounting groove 16 and damage.

[0033] In one embodiment of this utility model, the second positioning device 6 includes a connecting seat 61 and a third hydraulic cylinder 62. The third hydraulic cylinder 62 is connected to the bottom end of the movable reaction frame 2 through the connecting seat 61. The telescopic end of the third hydraulic cylinder 62 is provided with a third limiting post that cooperates with the positioning hole 11. The second positioning device 6 moves with the movable reaction frame 2, while the first positioning device 5 can move forward through the first hydraulic cylinder 51 and be inserted into the front positioning hole 11. The second positioning device 6 can make the movable reaction frame 2 more firmly fixed.

[0034] In one embodiment of this utility model, a recessed space 7 for construction is provided in the middle of the bracket body 1, which is reserved for the welder to weld.

[0035] In one embodiment of this utility model, a backstop device 8 is provided at the bottom of the shield machine body 3. The backstop device 8 includes a fixed base and a fourth hydraulic cylinder. The fourth hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the shield machine body 3 through the fixed base. The telescopic end of the fourth hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to a fourth limiting post. The fourth limiting post can be inserted into the positioning hole 11 for positioning and fixing. The backstop device 8 can also be limited and fixed. The backstop device 8 is welded to the tail structure of the shield machine body 3, and a fourth hydraulic cylinder with a diameter of DN200 is provided. It is inserted into the positioning hole 11 of the bottom bracket to provide reaction force and prevent the shield machine from retreating during the translation of the reaction frame, which could lead to disasters such as water and sand inrush, surface subsidence and collapse.
