Abstract

A method of tunnel driving in unstable soils beneath the ground-water level, the face being constantly acted upon by counterpressure from a medium such as water and/or a thixotropic liquid during driving or air during pauses in the driving and being excavated with an excavating tool (6) located in front of the pressure shield (12). The mixture of waste and medium located in the chamber (15) between face and pressure shield (12) is conveyed away, in the course of which the excavation space can be partitioned off in a pressure-tight manner via the pressure shield (12) from the tunnel already driven. When the pressure shield (12) is partitioned off in a pressure-tight manner, the mixture having water and/or thixotropic liquid is mechanically transported into a storage space (16) for the compressed air, which storage space (16) is arranged behind the pressure shield (12), is connected to the chamber (15) via a first opening (19) and is separated in a pressure-tight manner from the tunnel (30). In this storage space (16), the larger parts, such as stones, foreign bodies or the like, are separated out of the mixture, are mechanically comminuted and are fed back to the mixture, the free-flowing mixture being transported away out of the storage space (16) in a pressure-tight manner via a delivery line (25). Instead of the liquid transport, the now fluent solid waste, for the purpose of dry transport, can first of all be transported into the storage space (16) when the same is opened towards the tunnel via a second opening (28) and can be directly transported mechanically from there via the opening (28) into the tunnel (30) without separation of larger parts. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Tunnelvortrieb in unterschiedlichen geologischen Formationen, nämlich nicht standfesten, rolligen Böden unterhalb des Grundwasserspiegels, wobei die Ortsbrust ständig mit dem erforderlichen Gegendruck durch ein Medium wie Wasser und/oder einer thixotropen Flüssigkeit beim Vortreiben oder Luft bei Vortriebspausen beispielsweise zu Reparaturzwecken beaufschlagt und in jedem Fall mittels eines vor dem Druckschild befindlichen Abbauwerkzeuges unter Bildung von Abraum abgebaut wird, wobei das sich in der zwischen der Ortsbrust und dem Druckschild gebildeten Kammer befindliche Gemisch von Abraum im Medium weggefördert wird und der Abbauraum von dem schon vorgetriebenen Tunnel druckdicht über den Druckschild abschottbar ist. Die Erfindung betrifft weiters eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens mit einem Druckschild, mit einem in Vortriebsrichtung davor angebrachten Abbauwerkzeug und mit einer Förderleitung für das fließfähige Gemisch, wobei in Vortriebsrichtung hinter dem Druckschild ein von dem schon vorgetriebenen Tunnel druckdicht abgeschotteter Speicherraum angeordnet ist, der mit der Kammer kommunizierend über eine Öffnung in dem Druckschild verbunden ist, wobei zwischen dem Abbauwerkzeug und dem Druckschild das aufnahmeseitige Ende eines mechanischen Förderers angeordnet ist, der durch die Öffnung im Druckschild hindurchgeführt ist und mit seinem austragsseitigen Ende bis in den Speicherraum reicht, und wobei im Speicherraum dem mechanischen Förderer ein Steinbrecher nachgeschaltet ist, der druckdicht an die Förderleitung angeschlossen ist.The invention relates to a method for tunneling in different geological formations, namely non-stable, uneven soils below the water table, the face constantly with the required back pressure through a medium such as water and / or a thixotropic liquid when propelling or air during pausing breaks, for example for repair purposes acted upon and in any case by means of a removal tool located in front of the printing plate, with the formation of overburden, whereby the mixture of overburden in the medium formed in the chamber between the working face and the printing plate is conveyed away and the mining space from the tunnel that has already been driven over in a pressure-tight manner the print shield can be sealed off. The invention further relates to a device for carrying out the method with a pressure plate, with a removal tool attached in front of it in the direction of advance and with a conveying line for the flowable mixture, with a storage space, which is sealed off from the tunnel which has already been driven, in the direction of advance behind the pressure plate and which is arranged with the chamber is communicatively connected via an opening in the printing plate, the receiving-side end of a mechanical conveyor being arranged between the removal tool and the printing plate, which is led through the opening in the printing plate and extends with its discharge-side end into the storage space, and in which Storage space is connected to the mechanical conveyor a stone crusher, which is connected pressure-tight to the delivery line.

Ein solches Verfahren wird mittels bekannter sogenannter Hydroschild-Vorrichtungen ausgeführt, was besonders vorteilhaft ist, weil der gesamte Tunnel nur unter atmosphärischem Druck steht und somit Drucklufterkrankungen des Bedienungspersonals vermieden werden können.Such a method is carried out by means of known so-called hydroshield devices, which is particularly advantageous because the entire tunnel is only under atmospheric pressure and compressed air diseases of the operating personnel can thus be avoided.

Der Nachteil bei diesem bekannten Verfahren sowie einer Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens besteht darin, daß sobald eine andere Geologie innerhalb der aufzufahrenden Tunnelröhre (also kein nicht standfester rolliger Boden) auftritt, der Abraum beispielsweise Steine, Fremdkörper oder andere größere Teile enthält, welche nach Ansammlung eines gewissen Volumens aus der Kammer vor dem Druckschild manuell entfernt werden müssen. Dies geschieht dadurch, daß der Flüssigkeitsspiegel des Mediums bis auf die Tunnelsohle durch Abpumpen abgesenkt und dieser Abbauraum bzw. die Kammer unter Druckluft gesetzt wird, damit eine Bedienungsperson durch die Personenschleuse in den Raum zwischen Ortsbrust und Druckwand eingeschleust werden kann, um die größeren Teile manuell zu beseitigen. Durch das Anhalten, Leerpumpen und Druckluftbeaufschlagen reduziert sich der Zeitaufwand für den Vortrieb, was bei höherem Aufkommen größerer Teile an Steinen eine Verschlechterung der Vortriebsleistung mit sich bringt. In diesem Zusammenhang ist eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art beispielsweise dem DE-U-85 30 392 zu entnehmen, wobei zusätzlich in dem Speicherraum unter dem austragsseitigen Ende des mechanischen Förderers ein Steinbrecher angeordnet ist, an dem eine Förderleitung zum Flüssigtransport des Gemischs angeordnet ist, die druckdicht aus dem Speicherraum zu dem schon vorgetriebenen Tunnel herausgeführt ist, wodurch ein Einsteigen von Bedienungspersonal zur Grobgesteinsentnahme entbehrlich werden soll.The disadvantage of this known method and of an apparatus for carrying out the method is that as soon as another geology occurs inside the tunnel tube to be opened (i.e. not a non-stable, rolling ground), the overburden contains, for example, stones, foreign bodies or other larger parts which, after accumulation of a certain volume must be manually removed from the chamber in front of the printing plate. This is done in that the liquid level of the medium is lowered to the tunnel base by pumping and this extraction space or the chamber is placed under compressed air so that an operator can be introduced through the security gate into the space between the face and pressure wall to manually remove the larger parts to eliminate. Stopping, pumping empty and pressurizing the compressed air reduce the time required for the propulsion, which leads to a deterioration in the propulsive performance when larger numbers of stones are found. In this context, a device of the type mentioned at the outset can be found, for example, in DE-U-85 30 392, a stone crusher being additionally arranged in the storage space under the discharge end of the mechanical conveyor, on which a delivery line for liquid transport of the mixture is arranged, which is led out of the storage space in a pressure-tight manner to the tunnel that has already been driven, which should make it unnecessary for operating personnel to step in to remove coarse rock.

Es ist außerdem nachteilig, daß bei Antreffen einer Geologie im Verlauf des Vortriebes, die Flüssigkeitstransport nicht mehr zuläßt, eine Trockentransporteinrichtung vorgesehen werden muß. Dies geschieht, wenn überhaupt möglich, durch Umbau einer Hydroschild-Anlage vom Flüssigkeitstransport auf Trockentransport, was ebenfalls erhebliche Zeitverluste mit sich bringt.It is also disadvantageous that a dry transport device must be provided if a geology is encountered during the course of the advance, which no longer allows liquid transport. If at all possible, this is done by converting a hydroshield system from liquid transport to dry transport, which also results in considerable loss of time.

Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren sowie eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens vorzuschlagen, mit denen auch bei Auftreten größerer Teile, wie Steine, Fremdkörper oder dergleichen, kontinuierlich im Flüssigtransport der Tunnel erforderlichenfalls auf Trockentransport umgestellt werden kann. Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren im wesentlichen dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß zum Zweck des Flüssigtransportes bei druckdicht abgeschottetem Druckschild das Wasser und/oder die thixotrope Flüssigkeit aufweisende fließfähige Gemisch vorzugsweise mechanisch in einen in Vortriebsrichtung hinter dem Druckschild angeordneten, mit der Kammer kommunizierend über eine erste Öffnung verbundenen und von dem schon vorgetriebenen Tunnel druckdicht getrennten Speicherraum für die Druckluft transportiert wird, daß im Speicherraum aus dem Ge'misch die größeren Teile, wie Steine, Fremdkörper oder dergleichen ausgesondert und die ausgesonderten größeren Teile mechanisch zerkleinert und in zerkleinerter Form wieder dem Gemisch zugeführt werden und das fließfähige Gemisch aus dem Speicherraum druckdicht über eine Förderleitung wegtransportiert wird, und daß zum Zweck des Trockentransportes der schüttfähige Abraum bei zum Tunnel über eine zweite Öffnung geöffneten Speicherraum zunächst in diesen und von dort mechanisch direkt - ohne Aussondern größerer Teile - über die Öffnung in den Tunnel transportiert wird. Eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens ist ausgehend von der eingangs genannten Ausführungsform im wesentlichen dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß in dem Speicherraum unter dem austragsseitigen Ende des mechanischen Förderers ein Grobsieb für die größeren Teile in dem Gemisch über einem Auffangbehälter für den Siebdurchgang angeordnet ist, daß an dem Auffangbehälter eine Förderleitung zum Flüssigtransport des Gemischs angeordnet ist, die druckdicht aus dem Speicherraum zu dem schon vorgetriebenen Tunnel herausgeführt ist, daß dem Grobsieb ein Steinbrecher für das Siebgut zugeordnet ist, der an die Förderleitung angeschlossen ist, und daß der Speicherraum über eine durch eine Abschlußtür verschlossene zweite Öffnung zum Tunnel hin geöffnet werden kann, wobei durch die zweite Öffnung bei offener Abschlußtür ein mechanischer zweiter Förderer bis unter das austragsseitige Ende des ersten Förderers einschiebbar ist.The invention is therefore based on the object of proposing a method and a device for carrying out the method, with which, even when larger parts, such as stones, foreign bodies or the like, occur, the tunnel can be continuously switched to dry transport in liquid transport, if necessary. To achieve this object, the method according to the invention is essentially characterized in that, for the purpose of liquid transport when the pressure shield is sealed off in a pressure-tight manner, the flowable mixture comprising water and / or the thixotropic liquid is preferably mechanically arranged in a direction of advance behind the pressure shield and communicating with the chamber via a The first opening connected and from the tunnel that has already been driven in a pressure-tight manner is transported for the compressed air that the larger parts, such as stones, foreign bodies or the like, are separated from the mixture in the storage space and the separated larger parts are mechanically shredded and again in shredded form Mixture are supplied and the flowable mixture is transported away from the storage space in a pressure-tight manner via a delivery line, and that for the purpose of dry transport the pourable overburden is transported to the tunnel via a second opening g The opened storage space is first transported into the tunnel and from there mechanically directly - without separating larger parts - into the tunnel. A device for carrying out the method is essentially based on the above-mentioned embodiment characterized in that a coarse sieve for the larger parts in the mixture is arranged above a collecting container for the sieve passage in the storage space under the discharge end of the mechanical conveyor Collection container a delivery line for liquid transport of the mixture is arranged, which is led out pressure-tight from the storage space to the tunnel that has already been driven, that the coarse screen is assigned a stone crusher for the screenings, which is connected to the delivery line, and that the storage space via a a second opening, closed by a closing door, can be opened towards the tunnel, a mechanical second conveyor being insertable through the second opening when the closing door is open, below the discharge end of the first conveyor.

Durch die Erfindung wird also ein Verfahren sowie eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens vorgeschlagen, bei der die Ortsbrust hydrostatisch gestützt wird, wobei der Flüssigkeitsspiegel des Mediums aber nicht wie bei bekannten Verfahren zwischen der Druck- und einer davor angeordneten Tauchwand unter Druckluft belastet wird, sondern bei der ein durch die erste Öffnung im Druckschild hinausgeführter, im übrigen aber abgedichteter Druckspeicherraum die Funktion des druckluftbelasteten Akkumulators übernimmt. Zugleich können nach Lehre der Erfindung durch den vorzugsweise bis auf die Sohle der Kammer bzw. der Tunnelsohle des Abbauraumes reichenden ersten Förderer gelegentlich auftauchende größere Steine, Findlinge oder dergleichen in den Speicherraum transportiert und dort abgesondert sowie gesondert mechanisch zerkleinert und dann wieder dem Flüssigtransport-Kreislauf zugeführt werden.The invention thus proposes a method and a device for carrying out the method in which the working face is supported hydrostatically, but the liquid level of the medium is not loaded under compressed air, as in known methods, between the pressure wall and a plunger wall arranged in front of it in which a pressure storage space led out through the first opening in the pressure plate, but otherwise sealed, takes over the function of the accumulator that is loaded with compressed air. At the same time, according to the teaching of the invention, larger stones, boulders or the like, which occasionally appear up to the bottom of the chamber or the tunnel bottom of the mining space, can occasionally transport larger stones, boulders or the like into the storage space, where they are separated and mechanically crushed and then returned to the liquid transport circuit are fed.

Durch den Wegfall der Tauchwand kann ferner bei der Erfindung die Konstruktion der Vorrichtung kürzer gehalten werden und das durch die Personenschleuse in die Kammer eingeschleuste Bedienungspersonal einfacher durch die dort nicht vorhandene Tauchwand gelangen, um eventuelle Reparatur- oder sonstige Arbeiten durchzuführen.By eliminating the baffle, the construction of the device can also be kept shorter in the invention and the operating personnel introduced into the chamber through the personal lock can more easily get through the baffle not present there in order to carry out any repair or other work.

Schließlich kann durch Öffnen der Abschlußtür der Speicherraum geöffnet und durch die frei gewordene zweite Öffnung ein zweiter mechanischer Förderer schnell und einfach eingebracht werden, und zwar vorzugsweise bis unter das austragsseitige Ende des ersten mechanischen Förderers in dem Speicherraum, so daß eine kontinuierliche Trockenförderung zu bereitstehenden Erdreich-Transportwagen oder dergleichen durchgeführt werden kann.Finally, by opening the end door, the storage space can be opened and a second mechanical conveyor can be introduced quickly and easily through the second opening that has become free, and preferably up to below the discharge end of the first mechanical conveyor in the storage space, so that continuous dry conveying to the available soil - dolly or the like can be performed.

Von besonderem Vorteil ist es, wenn in zweckmäßiger Ausgestaltung der Erfindung der erste Förderer eine Förderschnecke, ein Gurtförderer oder ein Ketten- oder Kettenkratzförderer ist, wobei bei einer Förderschnecke durch Wahl der Scheckensteigung und der Drehzahl ein Erddruck-Ausgleich geschaffen werden kann. Dies wird vorzugsweise durch mechanisch, hydraulisch und/oder pneumatisch betätigbare Stützplatten zwischen den Abbauarmen unterstützt.It is particularly advantageous if, in an expedient embodiment of the invention, the first conveyor is a screw conveyor, a belt conveyor or a chain or chain scraper conveyor, with a screw conveyor being able to compensate for earth pressure by selecting the pitch of the screw and the speed. This is preferably supported by mechanically, hydraulically and / or pneumatically actuated support plates between the extraction arms.

Ferner ist von Vorteil, daß das Abbauwerkzeug einen mehrarmigen, kegelförmig ausgebildeten Bohrkopf aufweist, der - unter Fortfall der beim Stande der Technik vorhandenen Mittenschneider - zugleich eine Zentrierung beim Abbohren des Erdreichens bewirkt.It is also advantageous that the excavation tool has a multi-armed, conical drill head, which - while eliminating the center cutters available in the prior art - also causes centering when drilling the soil.

Zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den weiteren Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.Expedient refinements and developments of the invention are characterized in the further subclaims.

Ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel wird nachfolgend unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung naher erläutert.A preferred embodiment is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing.

Die Kippachse kann hierbei an dem äußeren oder inneren Widerlager des Bohrkorbes 9 angeordnet sein.The device, designated overall by 5, has a removal tool 6 arranged at the front in the direction of advance according to the directional arrow 7 and which has a plurality of drilling arms 8 on the drilling basket 9 which radiate from the center and which are provided with the actual drilling tools 10. The drilling arms 8 span a conical surface and can be tilted and exchangeably arranged on the drilling basket 9. The tilt axis can be arranged on the outer or inner abutment of the drill cage 9.

Zwischen den Bohrarmen 8 können hydraulisch, mechanisch und/oder pneumatisch in Vortriebrichtung vor- und zurück- sowie anstellbar verstellbare Stützplatten 11 (Figur 2) angeordnet sein. Der Bohrkorb ist - wie an sich bekannt - vor dem mit 12 bezeichneten Druckschild angeordnet und über einen insgesamt mit 13 bezeichneten Antrieb angetrieben, der druckdicht durch den Druckschild 12 hindurchgeführt ist. Im oberen Bereich in Vortriebsrichtung 7 hinter dem Druckschild 12 ist eine Doppelkammer-Personenschleuse 14 angeordnet, durch die man in die insgesamt mit 15 bezeichnete Kammer zwischen dem Abbauwerkzeug 6 und dem Druckschild 12 gelangen kann, die druckdicht durch den Druckschild 12 von dem rückwärtigen Teil der Vorrichtung 5 abgeschottet ist.Support plates 11 (FIG. 2) that can be adjusted hydraulically, mechanically and / or pneumatically in the direction of drive forward and backward as well as adjustable can be arranged between the drilling arms 8. As is known per se, the drill cage is arranged in front of the pressure plate denoted by 12 and driven by a drive denoted overall by 13, which is guided through the pressure plate 12 in a pressure-tight manner. In the upper area in the direction of advance 7 behind the printing plate 12, a double-chamber personal airlock 14 is arranged, through which one can get into the chamber, denoted overall by 15, between the removal tool 6 and the printing plate 12 can, which is sealed pressure-tight by the pressure shield 12 from the rear part of the device 5.

Hinter dem Druckschild 12 ist ein Speicherraum 16 angeordnet, der sich mit bezug auf die Längsachse 17 der Vorrichtung 5 unterseitig in der oberen Hälfte 18 befindet. Der Speicherraum 16 ist über eine erste Öffnung 19 in dem Druckschild und über ein Rohr 20 mit der Kammer* 15 verbunden. Das aufnahmeseitige Ende eines ersten, als Kettenförderer 21 ausgebildeten mechanischen Förderers reicht bis nahe zu der Sohle der Kammer 15 und ist durch die erste Öffnung 19 und das Rohr 20 zu dem Speicherraum 16 geführt, in dem sein abgabeseitiges Ende angeordnet ist.

Unterhalb dem austragsseitigen Ende 22 des Kettenförderers 21 ist ein schräggestelltes Grobsieb 23 über einem Auffangbehälter 24 für den Siebdurchgang angeordnet, an dem eine Förderleitung 25 für den Flüssigtransport angeschlossen ist. Unterhalb und neben dem seitlichen Ende des Grobsiebs 23 ist ein Steinebrecher 26, ebenfalls mit Auffangbehälter angeordnet, der über eine Leitung 27 ebenfalls an die Förderleitung 25 angeschlossen ist.Below the discharge end 22 of the chain conveyor 21, an inclined coarse sieve 23 is arranged above a collecting container 24 for the sieve passage, to which a conveying line 25 for liquid transport is connected. Below and next to the side end of the coarse screen 23 there is a stone crusher 26, also with a collecting container, which is also connected to the delivery line 25 via a line 27.

Der Speicherraum 16 ist ferner über eine durch eine Abschlußtür 28 verschlossene zweite Öffnung mit dem schon durch Tübbings abgestützten Tunnel 30 verbindbar. Durch diese zweite Öffnung kann zum Zwecke des Trockentransports ein zweiter mechanischer Förderer 31 direkt unter das austragsseitige Ende 22 des Kettenförderers 21 geschoben werden, so daß der Abbraum direkt in Erdreich-Transportwagen oder dergleichen (nicht gezeigt) transportiert werden kann, wobei gegebenenfalls das Grobsieb 23 entfallen muß.The storage space 16 can also be connected to the tunnel 30, which is already supported by tubbings, via a second opening closed by a closing door 28. A second mechanical conveyor 31 can be pushed through this second opening for the purpose of dry transport directly under the discharge end 22 of the chain conveyor 21, so that the excavated material can be transported directly into soil transport wagons or the like (not shown), the coarse sieve 23 if necessary must be omitted.

Die Tübbings 29 werden einen an sich bekannten Tübbingstransporteuer 32 in Vortriebsrichtung 7 zur der eigentlichen Vorrichtung 5 transportiert und dort mittels eines ebenfalls an sich bekannten Erektors 33 gesetzt. An sich bekannte Vorschubpressen 34 stützen sich einerseits an den schon gesetzten Tübbings, andererseits an der Vorrichtung 5 bzw. dem Druckschild 12 ab.The tubbing 29 is transported to a tubbing conveyor 32 known per se in the direction of advance 7 to the actual device 5 and set there by means of an erector 33, which is also known per se. Feed presses 34 known per se are supported on the one hand on the tubbing already set, on the other hand on the device 5 or the printing plate 12.

Ferner ist eine Förderpumpe 35 für Wasser und/oder eine thixotrope Flüssigkeit vorgesehen, die über eine Leitung 36 bis in die Kammer 15 geführt ist und dort im Bereich der ersten Öffnung 19 über eine Spüldüse 37 austritt. Die erste Öffnung 19 kann - druckdicht - mittels eines mechanisch, hydraulisch oder pneumatisch betätigbaren und schematisch mit 38 bezeichneten Schiebers abgeschottet werden, um auch Reparaturarbeiten in dem Speicherraum 16 ausführen zu können.Furthermore, a feed pump 35 for water and / or a thixotropic liquid is provided, which is led via a line 36 into the chamber 15 and exits there in the region of the first opening 19 via a flushing nozzle 37. The first opening 19 can be sealed off in a pressure-tight manner by means of a slide which can be actuated mechanically, hydraulically or pneumatically and which is schematically designated 38 in order to also be able to carry out repair work in the storage space 16.

Zweckmäßigerweise wird der Steinbrecher 26 nur dann eingeschaltet, wenn ein gewisser Steinanfall vorliegt. Ebenso kann in dem Rohr 20 vorzugsweise eine Niveau-Meßeinrichtung 40 zur Einstellung des Luftdrucks 16 in der Speicherkammer vorgesehen sein, der dann auf die Flüssigkeitsoberfläche und damit auf die die gesamte Kammer 15 ausfüllende Flüssigkeit und damit auf die Ortsbrust vor dem Abbauwerkzeug 6 ausgeübt werden kann.The crusher 26 is expediently only switched on when there is a certain amount of stone. Likewise, a level measuring device 40 for adjusting the air pressure 16 in the storage chamber can preferably be provided in the tube 20, which can then be exerted on the liquid surface and thus on the liquid filling the entire chamber 15 and thus on the working face in front of the removal tool 6 .
