The invention provides a tunneling method and
system for automatic surveying, mapping and positioning. The tunneling method comprise the steps that a well lane model given by a design
system is dispersed into a bottom plate middle axis multi-section line and a well lane section contour polygon; a
machine body coordinate
system of a heading
machine is set with the right side direction of the heading
machine as the X axis, the head direction of the heading machine as the Y axis, and perpendicular to the XOY plane and the overall upward direction as the Z axis; the relative position coordinate increment from the
laser target ball position to the turning center of the heading machine is calibrated according to the coordinate axis increment of the machine body coordinate system; the position coordinates of a
laser target ball of the heading machine are positioned by using a positioning
robot and a north
pointing device; according to the position coordinate of the
laser target ball and the relative position coordinate increment of the
laser target ball position in the machine body coordinate system, the motion base point coordinates of a
cantilever of the heading machine is calculated; the heading machine is controlled to
cut the radial section according to the multi-section line of the bottom middle axis, the well lane section contour polygon, and the motion base point coordinates of the
cantilever of the heading machine. According to the tunneling method and system, the heading machine can be accurately positioned, and the operation is unmanned.
