Description

  The present invention relates to a monorail (monorack) type segment assembling apparatus in a tunnel excavator such as a shield excavator.

  Conventionally, in shield excavators, it is well known that the inner circumference of a tunnel that has been excavated is primarily lined with a segment ring. As a segment assembly device at that time, a ring type, a rack and pinion type, a hollow shaft, etc. Various structures such as formulas have been proposed.

  In recent years, for example, there are many requests for tunnel construction having a width of 3 lanes or more for one way. However, when these wide tunnels are excavated with a circular shield excavator, the top and bottom tops of the tunnel are unnecessary. The excavation volume of such a part increases remarkably and the efficiency is poor.

  Therefore, it is conceivable that the excavation cross-sectional shape is an ellipse, a composite circle or a rectangle (all are non-circular), and the segment assembling apparatus at that time can also assemble the segments along the excavation cross-sectional shape. Are disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 3.

JP-A-1-318700 No. 6-9115 Japanese Patent No. 2661833

  However, in the segment assembling apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 1, the turning frame erector that runs on the rail is capable of self-running by the rotation of the pinion that meshes with the gear laid along the rail. Since the tangential force (driving force) is small, it is difficult to transport a segment piece with a large load (about 10 tons), and a mechanism that only lifts and lowers the frame that holds the segment piece by a telescopic jack in addition to the support jack. Therefore, since there are few compound operations, there is a limit in adapting to various excavation cross-sectional shapes, and there was a problem of lack of versatility.

  Further, in the segment assembling apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 2, the erector apparatus main body that travels on the guide rail is capable of self-propelled by the rotation of a pinion that meshes with a rack laid along the guide rail. Therefore, since the tangential force (driving force) is small, it is difficult to transport a segment piece with a large load (about 10 tons), and the segment gripping mechanism that grips the segment piece can be expanded and contracted by a hydraulic cylinder in addition to a steady-state jack. Since there is only a mechanism to do so, there are few complex operations, so there is a limit to adapting to various excavation cross-sectional shapes, and there is a problem of lack of versatility.

  Further, in the segment assembling apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 3, the pair of left and right traveling frames traveling on the rectangular guide rail can be self-propelled by the rotation of a sprocket that meshes with a chain rack laid along the guide rail. Therefore, it is difficult to transport a segment piece with a large load (about 10 tons) because the tangential force (driving force) is small, and it is supported so that it can rotate across a pair of left and right traveling frames. The holding frame that is movable in the shield axial direction and movable in the normal direction and tangential direction of the rectangular guide rail is provided on the erector frame, so that the structure is enlarged and the excavation cross-sectional shape is limited to rectangular There was a problem of lack of versatility.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a segment assembling apparatus for a tunnel excavator that can sufficiently cope with a large excavation cross-sectional shape and can easily assemble segments having various excavation cross-sectional shapes.

In order to achieve such an object, a segment assembling apparatus for a tunnel excavator according to the present invention includes:
