Definitions
- the invention relates to a tunnel boring machine for drilling a tunnel with a shield that can be driven into the ground and in which a cutting wheel that can be driven and equipped with mining tools is arranged.
- Such tunnel boring machines are known and have a cutting wheel with a plurality of cutting arms, the removed soil reaching the tunnel boring machine through the gaps in the cutting arms and then being transported away. Because of the high forces that occur, the hub area of the cutting wheel, from which the cutting arms extend radially outwards, is solid and stable. For this reason, earth material that has been mined in the region of the longitudinal axis of the cutting wheel must be transported in the radial direction of the cutting wheel to one of the spaces between the cutting arms of the cutting wheel.
- the invention has for its object to provide a tunnel boring machine which is characterized by a low propulsion resistance.

- the output flange 19 is part of an outer cutting wheel drive 20, via which the outer cutting wheel 8 can be driven both clockwise and counterclockwise.
- several hydraulic or electric drive motors 21 are seen, which are coupled to drive pinions 23 via reduction gears housed in reduction gear housings 22, one of which is shown in FIG. 1.
- the drive pinion 23 is mounted in the main gear housing 24 of the tunnel boring machine and is connected via a pinion shaft 65 to the reduction gear of the drive motor 21.
- the main transmission housing 24 has a transmission housing inner jacket 25, which is designed as a short piece of pipe and extends between an annular front transmission housing wall 26 and a rear transmission housing wall 27.
- the main gear housing 24 is attached to the center tube 4.
- a bearing 28 extends along the center tube 4, the bearing outer ring 29 being fixedly connected to the main gear housing 24 and the bearing inner ring 30 being firmly connected to the drive flange 19.
- the bearing inner ring 30 has a toothing 31, in which the teeth of the drive pinion 23 engage.
- a seal 32 is provided all around the output flange 19, which consists of a seal race 33, a seal carrier 34, a seal package 35 and a clamping ring 36.
- an inner seal 67 is provided along the output flange 19 and the front gear housing wall 26.
- a feed water inflow line allows water or a water suspension to be introduced into the pressure chamber 12, so that it is continuously filled with liquid, for example up to half the height.
- the soil removed with the aid of the outer cutting wheel 8 is discharged via the suction line 13 with the aid of the liquid supplied via the water inflow lines when the cutting arms 9 are rotated with the drive motors 21 to the right or left while driving the tunneling machine.

Abstract
Un tunnelier dispose, en plus d'une grande roue coupante externe (8), d'une petite roue coupante centrale (17), laquelle est montée près du moyeu de la roue coupante externe (8), ce qui permet d'éviter la formation de bouchons de sol et de noyaux morts au voisinage de l'axe longitudinal de la roue coupante (8), de manière à réduire la résistance à l'avancement de la machine.A tunnel boring machine has, in addition to a large external cutting wheel (8), a small central cutting wheel (17), which is mounted near the hub of the external cutting wheel (8), which avoids the formation of soil plugs and dead cores in the vicinity of the longitudinal axis of the cutting wheel (8), so as to reduce the resistance to advancement of the machine.
