Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tunnel boring machine (TBM) construction technology, and in particular to a temperature and pressure detection and freezing system status judgment device. Background Technology

[0002] Due to the high risks associated with tunnel construction in water-rich sandy layers and other soft, water-rich strata, freezing methods are often used to improve tunnel construction safety. This involves creating an artificial negative temperature zone using refrigeration machinery, freezing the moisture in the strata to form a high-strength frozen body capable of withstanding significant ground pressure, greatly improving ground stability, and creating conditions for safe, waterless operations under the protection of a frozen wall. However, current methods for determining the freezing state of the soil still rely on manually selecting temperature measurement points, freezing holes, and frost heave monitoring points. The thickness and average temperature of the frozen wall are then predicted based on the frozen soil expansion rate and the degree of frost wall overlap calculated from the temperature measurements taken at the frozen wall. This method, due to the heavy manual workload, cannot quickly and accurately reflect the freezing state, is prone to errors, and struggles to detect anomalies.

[0003] In actual tunnel construction in water-rich composite strata, freezing reinforcement is a dynamic and lengthy process. These composite strata environments are highly variable, sometimes containing sand, silt, or even corrosive liquids. This complex environment has a significant impact on the actual freezing effect. Relying solely on existing methods for prediction is unlikely to be accurate enough, which may lead to significant differences between the actual thickness and strength of the frozen wall and expectations. In severe cases, it may cause problems such as tunnel face collapse and instability, thereby affecting the tunnel's waterproof performance and structural stability, and endangering the lives of workers inside the tunnel.

[0004] Currently, without a smart, visual device that can measure temperature and pressure in real time to calculate the thickness and strength of frozen walls and provide early warnings, it is difficult to accurately reflect the state of frozen walls. Therefore, developing such a device that integrates temperature and pressure monitoring and non-destructive testing of frozen walls is of great significance for improving methods for judging frozen walls, increasing the accuracy of frozen wall thickness and strength estimations and construction safety, reducing human error, and thus promoting the further development of freezing reinforcement technology for water-rich strata. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model discloses a temperature and pressure detection and freezing system status judgment device, applicable to the shield tunneling freezing method in water-rich strata. It includes the inner wall of the shield machine and a monitor. The monitor is installed on the inner wall of the shield machine and includes a base. A stepper motor is fixedly installed on the left side of the base. The output end of the stepper motor is connected to a lead screw, which is threadedly connected to a connecting plate. The connecting plate is slidably installed within the base. A coated reflector and a temperature measuring well are fixedly installed on the connecting plate. A calibration blackbody is fixedly installed inside the temperature measuring well. A signal receiving processor and a programmable logic controller (PLC) are located below the temperature measuring well. A central processing unit (CPU) is located below the signal receiving processor and the PLC. A radiation thermometer is installed on the right side of the base. An earth pressure cell is located below the radiation thermometer, and a buzzer alarm is located on the right side of the earth pressure cell.

[0006] Furthermore, the inner wall of the base is equipped with an electric heat tracing insulation layer, which protects multiple electronic components inside the base to operate stably at low temperatures.

[0007] Furthermore, the side wall of the base is provided with a notch, and a temperature measuring window is provided at the notch.

[0008] Furthermore, the signal receiving processor is used to receive the data recorded by the radiation thermometer and upload it to the programmable logic controller, which performs real-time logic control.

[0009] Furthermore, the central processing unit is used to run monitoring software and computing models, and a communication unit is provided on one side of the central processing unit, which is electrically connected to the programmable logic controller and the central processing unit.

A buzzer alarm 9 for alarming the engineer when the soil pressure box 13 exceeds the threshold is installed on the right side of the soil pressure box 13.

[0019] The inner wall of the base is equipped with an electric heat tracing insulation layer 10, which protects multiple electronic components inside the base to operate stably at low temperatures.

[0020] The side wall of the base is provided with a notch, and a temperature measuring window 11 is provided at the notch to transmit infrared radiation from the target and protect the optical system inside the base.

[0021] The signal receiving processor 5 is used to receive the data recorded by the radiation thermometer 12 and upload it to the programmable logic controller 6.
