Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tunnel boring machine or pipe jacking machine for hard rock bores with a rotatably mounted full cut boring head carrying the boring tools.
  • EP-B1 169 393 shows a scraping head which can be pivoted on all sides and which can be moved in a frame in the longitudinal direction of the tunnel tube, this configuration in turn relating to a partial cutting machine.
  • the drilling machine or boring machine essentially consists in the fact that the drilling head has a diameter which is smaller than the diameter of the bore and that the geometric axis of the enveloping circle of the tools of the full-cutting drilling head relative to the axis of rotation or is eccentrically arranged or displaceable to the longitudinal axis of the tunnel.
  • the geometric axis of the full-cut drill head is defined here by the enveloping circle of the tools on the full-cut drill head, and rotation of such a drill head about an axis of rotation, which is different from the geometric axis, means that a larger cross section can be reduced than the cross section of the full cut drill head would correspond alone.
  • a configuration allows a position to be taken by simply moving the full-cutting drill head, in which a Pulling out the drill head and the entire tunnel boring machine is also possible without any problems, even with existing extensions or piping or convergences.
  • the tunnel boring machine or pipe jacking machine according to the invention is advantageously developed in such a way that the drilling head has a carrier disk on which hard rock tools such as e.g. Discs are arranged, the radial distance from each other is selected taking into account the eccentricity of the enveloping circle of the discs to the longitudinal axis of the tunnel or to the axis of rotation so that the cutting line spacings on a larger radius to the longitudinal axis of the tunnel are smaller than on a smaller radius.
  • Discs or roller chisels are ideally suited as hard rock tools, whereby an appropriate arrangement on the drill head with smaller cutting lines spaced over a larger radius results in safe machining while simultaneously reducing the radial force components and the off-center loading of the drill head.
  • the arrangement of the drilling tools leads to an eccentric enveloping circle that is smaller than the raw diameter of the tunnel tube, whereby when using a carrier plate for drilling tools, this can be arranged as usual centrally to the drill head, so that jamming of larger, detached rocks can be avoided.
  • the arrangement of the individual disks in such a way that an enveloping circle of the entire drilling tool is formed eccentrically to the pipe axis allows the desired clearance to be reduced beyond the actual diameter of the drilling tool or drill head.
  • the design is advantageously made such that the tools are arranged asymmetrically relative to the axis of the drill head, in particular along a spiral, the disks having a larger diameter being inclined flatter to the working face in a particularly advantageous manner are arranged than on a smaller diameter.
  • the design can advantageously be such that the tunnel boring machine is supported in the tunnel tube by means of sliding or movable supports.
  • a movable support can be provided by an in-house drive and can be designed, for example, in the form of crawler tracks.
  • Such moveable supports are to be provided separately from the actual spreading in the tunnel tube, with which, in principle, it is possible to stride by loosening one of the two spreading and pushing or pulling the other spreaders apart. If the spreading is withdrawn and thus the anchoring in the tunnel tube is released, such a movable support and in particular a caterpillar undercarriage allow the tunnel boring machine to be retracted much more quickly than would be possible with walking.
  • the inner wall of the tunnel tube is protected when retracting.
  • the tunnel boring machine or pipe boring machine according to the invention is developed so that the drill head can be pivoted by rotating the carrier disk relative to the axis of rotation of the drive into a position in which the outer contour of the carrier disk and the drilling tools within the projection of the inside diameter of the dismantled or piped tunnel tube on the face.
  • the individual disks describe a circular movement over the face after their alignment relative to the desired tunnel axis.
  • the design is advantageously made such that the axis of rotation of the drive of the drilling tools can be displaced relative to the longitudinal axis of the tunnel by the front or rear support of the tunnel boring machine in the tunnel tube, the tunnel boring machine being designed to be movable on tracks or rails or wheels in a simple manner is and can be equipped with a travel drive.
  • a particularly favorable introduction of force with little wear can be ensured in that the caliber tools are arranged on the carrier plate within a central angle of less than or equal to 90 °.
  • the front and rear vertical supports are usually mandatory components of a double-braced hard rock machine, the striding is carried out by actuating the double bracing.
  • the elimination of an adjustment mechanism of the drilling tool reduces the susceptibility to failure in rough operating conditions in hard rock driving.
  • the drilling tool can be optimized by the above-mentioned structural measures by different arrangement of the disks, without this leading to a deterioration in the possibilities of retracting the tunnel boring machine or pipe jacking machine.
  • the carrier plate or the drilling tool can also have an outline shape that deviates from the circular shape, so that simply pivoting one Position can be taken in which the withdrawal is made possible.
  • a secure material pick-up and movability from the tunnel tube is ensured by the fact that the drilling head has scraping tools on the carrier plate, the scraping edges of which are arranged rigidly within the enveloping circle of the drilling tools or are retractable within the enveloping circle.
  • FIG. 1 shows a side view of a tunnel boring machine in the extended position
  • FIG. 2 shows an enlarged detailed view of the full-cutting head in the working position
  • FIG. 3 shows a front view of a full-cutting drilling head in the working position
  • FIG. 4 shows a drilling head according to FIG. 3 in the raised position for the retraction
  • 5 shows a further embodiment of a drill head with a changed arrangement of the caliber tools in the working position
  • FIG. 6 shows a transport position for the embodiment according to FIG. 5, the section line II / II shown in FIG. 5 essentially having the representation according to FIG. 2 matches.
  • FIG. 1 shows disks 1 to 18, of which only disks 8 and 18 are shown for the sake of simplicity, connected to a drill head 19.
  • the drill head 19 is rotatably driven by a geared motor 20 about an axis of rotation 21, the axis of rotation 21 being pivoted for propulsion into a position which corresponds to the longitudinal axis 22 of the tunnel.
  • the tool In the raised position shown in FIG. 1, in which the lifting takes place via a hydraulic cylinder piston unit 23 of a movable support shoe 24, the tool can be withdrawn from the working position while maintaining a free space 25.
  • the lateral supports 26 and 27 must be retracted, which together with hydraulic cylinder piston assemblies 28 form a walking mechanism.
  • a rear support 29 is provided, which can also be designed to be slidable or movable with its own drive and a crawler track.
  • a conveyor 30 can be seen which throws onto subsequent conveying means 32 in the tunnel tube 31.
  • a caliber tool 18 and a central disc 1 on the drill head 19 can again be seen in the illustration according to FIG.
  • the axis of rotation 21 coincides with the longitudinal axis 22 of the tunnel and the hard rock drilling head is in its working position.
  • a large free space is cut with the caliber tools 18 due to the eccentric arrangement of the removal tools relative to the axis of rotation 21, the cut material being transferred to the conveyor 30 via guide plates 33 and being able to be conveyed away.
  • FIGS. 3 to 6 The specific arrangement of disks on a hard rock cutting head with a carrier plate 34 is explained in more detail in FIGS. 3 to 6.
  • the disks, starting from the center up to the outer caliber tools, are labeled 1 to 18, it being further evident that disks lying on a larger diameter are arranged at a lower inclination to the face than disks arranged on a smaller diameter.
  • the caliber tools 11 to 15 in FIGS. 3 and 4 and 15 to 18 in FIGS. 5 and 6 are arranged at a relatively small central angle of less than 90 °, so that radial forces can be reduced together with the inclination of these disks. This applies in particular to the representation according to FIGS. 5 and 6.
  • the drilling head with the disks 1 to 18 is in the working position, and the axis of rotation 21 coincides with the longitudinal axis 22 of the tunnel. Due to the asymmetrical arrangement of the disks, a relatively large circle is covered and the envelope circle of the disks when stationary Viewing the cutting head 19 has a substantially smaller radius than the paths of the drilling tools when the cutting head 19 rotates about the axis 21.
  • the axis of rotation 21 is displaced relative to the longitudinal axis of the tunnel, as can be seen in FIG. 4, it follows that, owing to the smaller envelope circle of the disks 1 to 18 arranged on the cutting head 19, a position can now be assumed in which the cutting head is secured of the free space 25 can in turn be brought back through the tunnel tube.
  • the cutting rollers are arranged asymmetrically in order to optimize the radial forces.
  • the drill head has scraping tools 36 on the carrier plate, the scraping edges 37 of which are arranged within the enveloping circle 35.
  • These scraper tools can optionally be rigidly connected to the carrier plate be, or designed to be retractable for the method from the tunnel tube within the envelope.
