  • Background Art
  • During the construction with a full-face tunnel boring machine, cutters are consumed significantly and replaced frequently, and the cutter replacement operation time accounts for more than 10% of the tunnel construction period. The existing cutter replacement operation mainly relies on manual operation, and there are high potential safety hazards in construction environments with large burial depth, high water pressure, etc., easily causing major safety accidents such as casualties. According to statistics, nearly 70% of tunnel construction safety accidents in China are directly related to manual cutter replacement operations, and the international industry problem of "cutter replacement risk" has become a bottleneck that restricts the safety and efficiency of tunnel construction under complex geological conditions. It is expected that by 2022, the total length of tunnels for subway, highway, railway, etc. in China will exceed 10,000 kilometers, of which medium-long and extra-long tunnels account for about 2/3. The huge market demand puts forward higher requirements for the construction efficiency and safety of full-face tunneling equipment. At present, in a shield tunneling machine or a TBM, a disc hob cutter is mainly fixed on a cutter holder by means of connection of C-shaped blocks and bolts.

Therefore, it is urgent to implement the cutter detection and cutter replacement operation with an efficient and safe "substituting labor with machine" operation mode.
