Description

  The present invention relates to an apparatus for maintaining equipment such as a bit, a copy cutter, and a ground exploration device attached to a cutter frame of a shield machine.

  Maintenance of equipment such as bits, copy cutters, and ground exploration devices attached to the cutter frame of shield machine in the soil is because there is earth and sand water around the cutter frame. It is difficult if you do not.

  Conventionally, as described in Patent Document 1, as a technique for exchanging a bit attached to a cutter frame, a cutter frame is formed hollow, and a center shaft pivotally supported by a partition wall is made hollow. The front end of the shaft is connected to the back part of the hollow cutter frame so that the inside communicates with each other, and the operator passes through the inside of the hollow center shaft from the rear of the partition wall and enters the working space inside the hollow cutter frame to exchange bits. This is known.

  Further, as described in Patent Document 2, a cutter frame is formed in a hollow shape, and a cylinder for a maintenance passage is slidably attached to the partition wall in the front-rear direction, and the cylinder is advanced to move the front end to the cutter frame. An operator who presses against the back of the wall and enters the back of the cutter frame through the cylinder from the rear of the partition wall opens the manhole provided on the back of the work, enters the work space in the cutter frame, and replaces the bit. There is known one that performs maintenance such as a copy cutter.

  The bit 28 provided in the central cutter spoke 26b can be exchanged from within the central work space 27 in the same manner as the bit 3 of the outer cutter frame 6. In addition, the ground excavation device of the central cutter frame 26 is detachable inside the central work space 27 in the same manner as the ground excavation device of the outer cutter frame 6. Note that it is sufficient that the ground exploration device is provided on at least one of the outer cutter frame 6 and the central cutter frame 26.

  Inside the center block 26a and the central cutter spoke 26b, handrails, ladders, steps, etc. (not shown) that serve as scaffolds or clues for workers are provided.

  A plurality of kneading blades 29 extending toward the rotary partition wall 11 (front rotary partition wall 11b) are attached to the back surface portion of the central cutter pork 26b at intervals in the radial direction. The kneading blades 29 on the outer peripheral side are attached so as to incline radially outward in order to stir the earth and sand behind the long cutter pork 6b of the outer cutter frame 6.

  A hollow center shaft 30 is mounted on the back surface of the center block 26 a of the center cutter frame 26. A central access passage 31 connected to the central work space 27 is formed in the center shaft 30 along the axial direction.

  The center shaft 30 penetrates the rotary partition wall 11 in a rotatable manner, and is pivotally supported coaxially with the swiveling ring 8 on a partition wall 32 disposed behind the rotary partition wall 11. The partition wall 32 is attached to the fixed partition wall 16, and partitions an oil bath (oil tank) 44 in cooperation with the inner peripheral wall 16 c of the fixed partition wall 16 and the rotating partition wall 11.

  A hole is formed at the center of the rotary partition 11, and a cylindrical body 34 through which the center shaft 30 is inserted is attached to the hole. A bearing 35 that pivotally supports the center shaft 30 and a seal 36 that is in sliding contact with the outer peripheral surface of the center shaft 30 are provided on the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical body 34. A hole is also formed in the center of the partition wall 32, and a cylindrical body 37 into which the center shaft 30 is inserted is attached to this hole. A bearing 38 that pivotally supports the center shaft 30 is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical body 37.

  On the rear outer peripheral surface of the center shaft 30, an entrance / exit 39 that is located behind the rotating partition wall 11 and the partition wall 32 and is connected to the central access passage 31 is opened. A lid 40 is provided at the entrance / exit 39 so as to be openable and closable. When the lid 40 is opened, the space in the mine behind the partition wall 32 communicates with the central work space 27 in the central cutter frame 26 via the central access passage 31.

  A drive gear 41 is mounted on the center shaft 30 between the rotary partition wall 11 and the partition wall 32, and a pinion 43 of a motor 42 constituting a drive device 33 attached to the partition wall 32 is attached to the drive gear 41. Meshed. The motor 42 that rotationally drives the center shaft 30 is independent of the motor 20 that rotationally drives the swivel ring 8 described above. When this motor 42 is driven, only the center shaft 30 is rotated, and only the central cutter frame 26 is rotationally driven.

  The rotation speed of the central cutter frame 26 is set to be higher than the rotation speed of the outer cutter frame 6. This is because the peripheral speed (cutting speed) of the bit 28 of the central cutter frame 26 is brought close to the peripheral speed (cutting speed) of the bit 3 of the outer cutter frame 6. Further, the rotation direction of the central cutter frame 26 may be opposite to the rotation direction of the outer cutter frame 6. This is because the relative speed difference between the central cutter pork 26b of the central cutter frame 26 and the front rotary partition 11b of the rotary partition 11 becomes large, and the adhesion of earth and sand between them can be suppressed.

  An oil tank 44 is formed between the partition wall 32 and the rotating partition wall 11. The oil in the oil tank 44 lubricates the gears 19, 41, the pinions 21, 43 and the like as the turning ring 8 turns. The oil level 45 in the oil tank 44 is set below the entrance / exit 46 disposed in the upper part of the partition wall 32 (for example, vertically above the center shaft 30). This is to prevent oil from flowing out when the lid 47 provided at the entrance / exit 46 is opened.

  The radial position (distance from the center shaft 30) of the entrance / exit 46 of the partition wall 32 is substantially coincident with the radial position of the entrance / exit 14 of the access member 13. This is because the swiveling ring 8 is rotated so that the doorway 14 faces the doorway 46.

  A soil removal device (screw conveyor) 48 is attached to the fixed partition wall 16. The earth removal device 48 is for removing earth and sand in a cutter chamber (earth and sand taking-in chamber) 49 in front of the fixed partition wall 16 and the rotary partition wall 11 and behind the outer cutter frame 6 and the central cutter frame 26. In addition, the soil removal apparatus 48 is not restricted to a screw conveyor, A transmission / drainage pipe | tube may be sufficient.

  The shield frame 15 is provided with an erector for assembling the segments into a ring shape, and a plurality of shield jacks for taking the reaction force from the existing segments and moving the shield frame 15 forward.

  The operation of the cutter maintenance device 2 of the shield machine 1 according to this embodiment will be described.

  The shield machine 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 rotates the outer cutter frame 6 by a motor 20 and rotates the central cutter frame 26 by another motor 42, and presses the shield jack against an existing segment to extend. By doing, dig a natural mountain. During the excavation, the lid 25 provided at the entrance 14 of the access member 13 and the lid 47 provided at the entrance 46 of the partition wall 32 are both closed. This prevents oil in the oil tank 44 from entering the work space 5 in the outer cutter frame 6 from the entrance / exit 14 via the access passage 12 and the worker passage 9 and from the entrance / exit 46 to the partition wall 32. It is prevented from flowing out into the pit behind. Further, the lid 40 provided at the entrance / exit 39 on the outer peripheral surface of the rear portion of the center shaft 30 is not used and is closed.

  When maintenance (replacement, inspection) such as the bit 3, the copy cutter 4 and the ground exploration device attached to the outer cutter frame 6 is performed, first, the outer cutter frame 6 is appropriately rotated so that one of the access members 13 The provided entrance / exit 14 is made to oppose the entrance / exit 46 provided in the upper part of the partition wall 32, and the rotation position of the outer cutter frame 6 is fixed at that position by rotating the motor 20 or the like. Thereafter, the lid 47 of the entrance / exit 46 of the partition wall 32 is opened from the inside of the pit, and the lid 25 of the entrance / exit 14 of the access member 13 is opened. Thereby, the space in the mine behind the partition wall 32 communicates with the access passage 12 inside the access member 13 through the upper space of the oil tank 44.

  Here, since the access member 13 is formed so as to extend rearward from the intermediate beam 10 toward the partition wall 32, the distance between the entrance 14 of the access member 13 and the entrance 46 of the partition wall 32 is so large. In other words, the worker can easily cross over. In addition, by opening the lid 25 so as to be tilted to the front in the same manner as the lid 47, the lid 25 becomes a bridge that bridges the entrances 14 and 46.

  A worker who has entered the access passage 12 in the access member 13 through the entrance 46 of the partition wall 32 and the entrance / exit 14 of the access member 13 from the inside of the mine shaft is surrounded by the worker passage 9 in the intermediate beam 10 and the inner ring 6a. The working space 5 in the long and short cut spokes 6b, 6c is reached through the direction passage 5a, and the equipment such as the bit 3, the copy cutter 4 and the ground exploration device provided in the spokes 6b, 6c is exchanged and inspected. At this time, the rotation of the central cutter frame 26 is stopped.

  In the present embodiment, since the intermediate beam 10 is disposed on the back surface of the long cutter spoke 6b, the worker in the worker passage 9 of the intermediate beam 10 can quickly work the work space 5 in the long cutter spoke 6b. 2 and through the circumferential passage 5a in the intermediate ring 6a as shown by the broken line arrow in FIG. 2, the work space 5 in the adjacent short-cut spoke 6c or further in the adjacent long-cut spoke 6b It is possible to enter the work space 5.

  According to the cutter maintenance device 2 according to the present embodiment, the work space 5 in the outer cutter frame 6 includes a worker passage 9 for the intermediate beam 10, an access passage 12 for the access member 13, an entrance / exit 14 for the access passage 12, and a partition. The structure communicates with the space in the mine behind the partition wall 32 through the entrance 46 of the wall 32. Therefore, only by opening the lid 47 of the entrance / exit 46 and the lid 25 of the entrance / exit 14, the space in the mine and the work space 5 in the outer cutter frame 6 communicate with each other, so that the workers in the mine can easily and quickly make the outer cutter frame 6 It is possible to enter the work space 5 inside. As a result, the work time required for maintenance can be shortened, leading to a shortened construction period.

  In addition, the structure for communicating the space in the mine and the work space 5 in the outer cutter frame 6 as described above is achieved only by opening the two lids 47 and 25, as described in Patent Document 2 described above. In addition, there is no need for a large-scale mechanism in which the maintenance passage cylinder slidably supported by the partition wall is advanced by the actuator and pressed against the back surface of the cutter frame. Therefore, compared with the thing of patent document 2, a structure becomes remarkably simple and becomes very low-cost.

  Further, the cutter maintenance device 2 has a structure in which the outer cutter frame 6, the intermediate beam 10, and the access member 13 are integrated by welding or the like, and a worker passage is integrally formed in the inside thereof in a liquid-tight manner. It has become. Therefore, the possibility of inundation into the work space 5 in the outer cutter frame 6 is extremely small as compared to the case in which the cylinder is pressed against the back portion of the cutter frame to ensure water stop as described in Patent Document 2. Become.

  On the other hand, when maintenance (replacement, inspection) such as the bit 28 and the ground exploration device attached to the central cutter frame 26 is stopped, the rotation of the central cutter frame 26 is stopped and the doorway opened to the outer peripheral surface of the rear portion of the center shaft 30 Open the lid 40 of 39. As a result, the space in the mine behind the partition wall 32 communicates with the central work space 27 in the central cutter frame 26 via the central access passage 31 in the center shaft 30.

  Therefore, workers in the mine can enter the central access passage 31 in the center shaft 30 through the entrance / exit 39 and enter the central work space 27 in the central cutter frame 26. The worker who has entered the central working space 27 performs maintenance (replacement and inspection) on the bits 28 and the ground exploration device provided on the central cutter frame 26. At this time, the rotation of the outer cutter frame 6 is stopped.

  Thus, according to the cutter maintenance device 2 of the shield machine 1 according to the present embodiment, even a multi-cutter in which the cutter frame is divided into the outer cutter frame 6 and the central cutter frame 26 in the radial direction inside and outside can be operated. An operator can easily enter the work space 5 in the outer cutter frame 6 from the inside of the pit and can prevent water from entering the work space 5 in the outer cutter frame 6 with a simple structure at low cost. In addition, a worker can easily enter the central work space 27 in the central cutter frame 26.

  Therefore, equipment such as the bits 3 and 28, the copy cutter 4 and the ground exploration device provided on the outer cutter frame 6 and the central cutter frame 26 can be properly maintained, and can cope with long-distance excavation.
