This invention discloses an experimental device for the thermo-mechanical
coupling effect of
shield tunneling in an artificially frozen environment. The device includes a soil box, a model
shield machine, a support device, and a
laser displacement sensor. The soil box has a model
shield machine inlet and an outlet on its front and rear sides, respectively. A cold compensation array is installed inside the soil box, and a temperature
sensor array is arranged inside the cold compensation array along the
tunneling direction. The support device supports and fixes the model
shield machine. A
laser displacement sensor is installed at the
tail of the model shield
machine. This device aims to reveal the influence mechanism of localized ground weakening induced by non-uniform thermal disturbance on the shield
machine's attitude, to deeply explore the spatiotemporal evolution of the eccentric load moment and the ground
response characteristics under complex thermo-mechanical
coupling conditions, and thus analyze the imbalance causes under thermo-mechanical
coupling, providing reliable experimental basis and data support for attitude prediction and disaster prevention in
shield tunneling in artificially frozen strata.
