The invention relates to the technical field of tunnel shield construction, in particular to a method for relieving and cutterhead repairing of a shield machine in a weathering groove. By means of the method, the problems of complex process, long construction period, high cost and the like during shield body relieving and cutterhead repairing in conventional construction are solved. The method comprises the steps of: carrying out grouting reinforcement on collapse body in front of a cutterhead, collapse body above the cutterhead, collapse body above shield tail and collapse body of an anchor cable; building water pressure of cut, eliminating counter-force of tunneling, retreating the shield body and relieving the cutterhead; drilling, exploding and repairing caverns, cleaning the excavated bin and repairing internal structure, body structure and accessory structure of the cutterhead to ensure that the shield body recovers tunneling. The method has the advantages of simple process, short construction period, low construction cost, strong applicability and the like. By means of the method, the relieving and the repairing of the cutterhead of the tunnel are successfully completed; the risk that river water backward pouring into the tunnel is avoided; the shield machine can rapidly recovering the normal tunneling; and the favorable economic benefit and social benefit are obtained.
