Description

  The present invention relates to a shield machine and a method for controlling the attitude of the shield machine, and more specifically to a technique for facilitating pitching control in a shield machine at an appropriate cost.

  The shield method that can underpass roads and railroad tracks with a small cover thickness and can be used for tunnel excavation in a wide range of ground conditions is particularly difficult in urban civil engineering, where there are many soft grounds and restrictions on construction conditions. The scope of application has been expanded. Shield machines used in such shield methods are generally equipped with heavy objects such as a motor that rotates the cutter in the front (hood, garter, etc.), so the center of gravity is ahead of the center in the machine extension direction. That is, it is often biased toward the face. The structure of such a shield machine is shown in Non-Patent Document 1, for example.

Established in 2006, tunnel standard specifications (shield construction method and explanation), Japan Society of Civil Engineers

  As described above, the shield machine having the center of gravity biased forward tends to be inclined forward during excavation. In particular, when excavating soft ground such as the ground surface, the ground cannot control the forward tilt of the shield machine, and this tendency tends to increase. A shield machine that takes a forward leaning posture will naturally dig down along with the cutting of the face, making it difficult to control in the vertical direction (pitching control).

  On the other hand, under these circumstances, when controlling the pitching of the shield machine, if the shield jack facing the tunnel bottom (that is, the limited jack that can capture the tunnel wall surface as a result of the forward tilting posture of the shield machine) is heavily used, The acting force was decentered, causing cracks. Further, when performing horizontal control in a shield machine, the shield jack facing the bottom of the tunnel is frequently used. However, there is a problem that the direction control is difficult because the number of shield jacks that can be used is limited.

  On the other hand, in order to cope with such a situation, with a wire etc. that has gained support from the predetermined structure behind the shield machine, pull the shield machine front part diagonally backward and upward to correct the forward tilt posture, However, measures such as changing the pitching of the completed tunnel have been proposed, but there is a problem that the construction of the countermeasure work takes time and cost, and the construction efficiency also decreases.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a technique that makes pitching control in a shield machine easy at an appropriate cost.

  The shield machine of the present invention that solves the above problems is a shield machine in which one end of a cantilever is fixed to a structure of the shield machine so that the cantilever extends rearward of the shield machine. And a plurality of tanks arranged so as to be aligned in the extending direction of the cantilever, and means for injecting and extracting liquid from each of the plurality of tanks. .

  Further, the present invention is a shield machine in which one end of a cantilever is fixed to the shield machine structure so that the cantilever extends behind the shield machine, and is installed on the cantilever. A tank having a plurality of compartments so that a plurality of compartments are arranged in the extending direction of the cantilever, and means for moving a liquid between the compartments.

  The shield machine structure that fixes the cantilever is, for example, a structure that holds the shield structure, and is located in the middle part of the skin plate, and a girder part that houses a group of devices inside the shield such as a cutter drive motor It becomes. Alternatively, a hood portion that constitutes a cutter chamber together with the partition wall, or a tail portion that is provided at the rear portion of the skin plate and has an erector or the like for installing a segment can be assumed. Also, the cantilever extending rearward of the shield machine, that is, in the direction of the wellhead as viewed from the facet, is made of, for example, a steel material having a predetermined strength, and can be placed on a heavy object that is a liquid tank as a weight. A workbench can be assumed.

  According to this, the tank installed in the cantilever works as a counterweight, and the center of gravity position of the entire shield machine moves backward. Therefore, the forward leaning posture of the shield machine is eliminated, and unintended downward digging is suppressed. In addition, since the forward leaning posture is eliminated, not only the shield jack on the outer periphery of the shield machine that faces the tunnel bottom, but also the shield jack at other locations can be used, so the vertical direction of the excavation control That is, pitching control and horizontal control are also facilitated. Naturally, the occurrence of cracks in the segment due to the use of shield jacks with uneven application sites can also be avoided.

  In addition, conventional measures such as pulling the shield machine with wires, etc., or changing the pitch of the tunnel through the direction correction segment are no longer necessary. It has the effect of improving efficiency. Therefore, according to the present invention, the pitching control in the shield machine can be facilitated at an appropriate cost.

  According to the above configuration of the present invention, the same effect as that obtained by moving the weight can be obtained by injecting and taking out liquid from the tank, or by moving the liquid between the tank sections. It can be moved as needed. For example, when working on soft ground where the shield machine tends to lean forward, the weight on the cantilever is moved to the vicinity of the rear end, and the center of gravity of the shield machine is also moved backward, so that the solid ground that does not cause forward tilt At the time of the work, flexible center of gravity position management according to the ground conditions, such as moving the weight on the cantilever from the rear end to the vicinity of the center, becomes possible.

  In the shield machine of the present invention, an intermediate material that supports the cantilever is erected between the tank and the structure of the shield machine, and a plurality of reinforcements are provided between the intermediate material and the structure. A material may be attached, and the intermediate material may be a frame having a segment shape maintaining function.

  The shield machine attitude control method of the present invention is a shield machine attitude control method in which one end of a cantilever is fixed to the shield machine structure so that the cantilever extends rearward of the shield machine. A plurality of tanks are installed on the cantilever so as to be arranged in the extending direction of the cantilever, and liquid is injected into and extracted from each of the plurality of tanks.

Also, the shield machine attitude control method in which one end of the cantilever is fixed to the shield machine structure so that the cantilever extends rearward of the shield machine.
On the cantilever, a tank having a plurality of compartments is arranged so that a plurality of compartments are arranged in the extending direction of the cantilever, and the liquid is moved between the compartments.

  The following embodiments also include the following inventions as reference examples.

  One end of the cantilever is fixed to the shield machine structure so that the cantilever extends rearward of the shield machine, and a weight is installed at the other end of the cantilever. The shield machine structure that fixes the cantilever is, for example, a structure that holds the shield structure, and is located in the middle part of the skin plate, and a girder part that houses a group of devices inside the shield such as a cutter drive motor It becomes. Alternatively, a hood portion that constitutes a cutter chamber together with the partition wall, or a tail portion that is provided at the rear portion of the skin plate and has an erector or the like for installing a segment can be assumed. In addition, the cantilever extending behind the shield machine, that is, in the direction of the wellhead as viewed from the face, is made of, for example, a steel material having a predetermined strength, and a heavy object such as a transformer or a feed / drainage mechanism is weighted. Can be assumed as a rear work table. Of course, the weight is not limited to the above-described existing equipment, but may be any weight as long as it has a weight capable of moving the center of gravity of the shield machine backward and can be installed on a cantilever.

In the shield machine of the present invention, an intermediate material that supports the cantilever is erected between the weight and the structure of the shield machine, and a plurality of reinforcing materials are provided between the intermediate material and the structure. It may be attached. Intermediate materials and stiffeners that work together with the cantilever beam will increase the cantilever-to-structure anchor point in order to more firmly and stably integrate the cantilever beam with the shield machine structure. The stress during cantilevering can be dispersed. In particular, the group of devices placed on the rear work table and the like are quite heavy, and it is preferable to make the cantilever structure strong with such an intermediate material or a reinforcing material.

  In this shield machine, the intermediate material is fixed to a skin plate of the shield machine. By fixing the intermediate material to the skin plate, the fixing points between the cantilever and the structure can be further increased, and the stress during cantilever can be further dispersed.

  In this shield machine, the weight may be installed to be movable with respect to the cantilever. For example, a configuration in which the cantilever itself is a rail or a rail is mounted on the cantilever and a weight is placed on a carriage driven on the rail may be employed. Alternatively, a configuration may be adopted in which a plurality of tanks are installed in the extending direction on the cantilever and a pump mechanism is provided for arbitrarily injecting / withdrawing liquid from / from any tank. With such a configuration, the position of the center of gravity of the shield machine can be moved as necessary in consideration of the weight of the shield machine, the weight of the weight, and the position of the weight on the cantilever (movable). For example, when working on soft ground where the shield machine tends to lean forward, the weight on the cantilever is moved to the vicinity of the rear end, and the center of gravity of the shield machine is also moved backward, so that the solid ground that does not cause forward tilt At the time of the work, flexible center of gravity position management according to the ground conditions, such as moving the weight on the cantilever from the rear end to the vicinity of the center, becomes possible.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to easily perform pitching control in a shield machine at an appropriate cost.

It is a figure which shows the application example 1 of the shield machine in this embodiment. It is a figure which shows the application example 2 of the shield machine in this embodiment. It is a figure which shows the application example 3 of the shield machine in this embodiment.

--- Application example 1 ---
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an application example 1 of the shield machine 10 according to the present embodiment. The shield machine 10 includes a skin plate 11 that protects the inside of the apparatus against stress acting on the ground 5 to be excavated, groundwater, and the like, a cutter head 12 that excavates the face surface 6 at the front end of the machine, and a tip of the skin plate 11 In the middle of the hood part 13 and the skin plate 11 constituting the cutter chamber, the girder part 15 that holds the entire shield structure and accommodates the device group 14 inside the shield, such as the cutter drive motor 21, and the skin plate 11 It is an apparatus provided with a screw conveyor 20 that conveys the soil discharged from the cutter chamber of the hood 13 and the tail part 17 that is provided with a segment 25 at the rear part and the tail part 17 and the hood part 13.

  The shield machine 10 according to the present embodiment includes a cantilever 30 that fixes one end 31 to any one of the structure of the shield machine 10, that is, the hood part 13, the girder part 15, and the tail part 17, and extends rearward of the machine. ing. This cantilever beam 30 may be newly provided for installing the weight 40, or a rear work table extending in the direction of the wellhead as viewed from the face surface 6 may be diverted. This rear work table is configured by integrally combining steel materials and the like, and is a table-like structure fixed to the girder portion 15. The muddy water supply / discharge mechanism 22 used for excavation, face face maintenance, etc., and a cutter drive motor This is an existing structure on which a heavy object such as a transformer 23 that supplies power of a predetermined specification to 21 etc. is placed.

  As a method for fixing one end 31 of the cantilever 30 to the structure of the shield machine 10, for example, a plate that fits each shape of the end of the steel material and the end of the girder 15 that constitutes the one end 31 of the cantilever 30. Although a fixing method for fastening bolts to each other via a material can be applied, any method may be used as long as the fixing method can be integrated with sufficient strength.

  At the other end 32 of the cantilever 30, as a weight 40 corresponding to the weight of the shield machine 10, for example, a structural material (for example, a steel material, a lead member, a concrete lump, etc.), a liquid-filled tank having an appropriate weight A predetermined heavy object such as various devices for operating the shield machine is installed. In any case, in order to correct the forward tilt posture of the shield machine 10, a weight 40 is provided as long as it has a necessary weight for moving the center of gravity of the shield machine 10 backward and can be installed on the cantilever 30. Any one can be adopted. By installing the weight 40, the position of the center of gravity of the shield machine 10 moves from the initial position near the header to a predetermined position behind the machine (eg, “new center of gravity” in the figure) by a distance d1. This state is, for example, a value obtained by multiplying the distance d1 from the original center of gravity position near the header to the new center of gravity position by the original load g1 (such as the weight of the shield machine) and the weight 40 in the cantilever 30 from the new center of gravity position. The value obtained by multiplying the distance d2 to the installation position by the weight g2 of the weight 40 (including the weight of the member behind the new center of gravity such as the weight of the cantilever 30) can be expressed as an equal relationship. Further, when moving the center of gravity position to the rear of the machine, it is preferable to adjust the weight 40 and the length of the cantilever 30 so that the center of gravity position is in the vicinity of the shield jack 18. This is because if the position of the center of gravity of the moving body is close to the position where the driving force is applied (that is, the operating position of the shield jack 18), the direction of the moving body, that is, the shield machine 10 can be easily changed. .

  According to this embodiment, the weight 40 installed on the cantilever 30 functions as a counterweight with respect to the shield machine 10, and the position of the center of gravity of the entire shield machine moves backward, that is, toward the wellhead. Therefore, it can be said that the forward leaning posture of the shield machine 10 is eliminated, and unintended downward digging is suppressed. Further, since the forward tilt posture is eliminated, not only the shield jack 18 on the outer periphery of the shield machine but the one facing the tunnel bottom 8 can be used, and the shield jack 18 at other locations can be used. Digging control, that is, pitching control and horizontal control are also facilitated. Naturally, it is also possible to avoid the occurrence of cracks in the segment 25 due to the use of the shield jack 18 whose application site is biased.

  Moreover, conventional measures such as pulling the shield machine 10 with a wire or the like, or changing the pitch of the tunnel through the direction correcting segment are unnecessary, and the labor and cost for the attitude control of the shield machine 10 are reduced compared to the conventional one. The construction efficiency is also improved.

--- Application example 2 ---
Then, the application example which reinforces the cantilever 30 mentioned above is demonstrated. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an application example 2 of the shield machine 10 in the present embodiment. Since a heavy object is placed on the cantilever 30 as the weight 40, there are a plurality of fixing points with the shield machine 10, and when the cantilever stress is dispersed, the cantilever 30 and the shield machine 10 are dispersed. This is preferable because it is more firmly fixed.

  In this case, an intermediate member 55 that supports the cantilever 30 is erected in front of the weight 40, that is, between the weight 40 and the structure of the shield machine 10. Further, a plurality of reinforcing members 56 are attached and fixed between the intermediate member 55 and the structure (any one of the hood portion 13, the girder portion 15, and the tail portion 17). As the intermediate material 55, for example, a frame body in which ends are provided on the upper surface and the bottom surface of the skin plate 11 can be assumed. In this case, the plurality of reinforcing members 56 that fix between the frame body 55 that is an intermediate material and the structure body such as the girder portion 15 have one end fixed to the frame body 55 and the other end fixed to the structure body. It becomes a structure. Alternatively, the intermediate member 55 is formed into a cylindrical body substantially along the inner space of the skin plate 11 and the cantilever 30 is fixed inside the cylinder, while the end face (end face facing the structure) of the cylinder is fixed to the structure. Alternatively, a different structure may be adopted. In this case, the entire peripheral surface of the cylinder becomes the reinforcing material 56.

  In the case of such a structure employing the intermediate material 55 and the reinforcing material 56, the cantilever 30 is fixed to the frame body 55 which is an intermediate material. As a method for fixing the cantilever 30 and the frame 55, any method can be used as long as it is a method for firmly fixing the steel materials, similarly to the bolt fastening method described in Application Example 1 above. Further, the reinforcing member 56 or the frame body 55 is provided with a shape holding device 24 constituted by a roller or the like on the outer periphery along the tunnel wall surface, and the segment 25 and the like are pressed by appropriately pressing the segment 25 toward the ground wall surface. The tunnel wall shape to be formed may be maintained.

  The cantilever 30 fixed to the girder part 15 and the like at a plurality of fixing points via the frame body 55 and the reinforcing material 56, which are intermediate members, disperses a large stress generated at the time of cantilever, so that the shield machine 10 is strong and stable. It will be integrated with. In addition, the frame body 55 as an intermediate material may be fixed to the skin plate 11. By fixing the frame body 55 to the skin plate 11 in this way, the fixing points between the cantilever 30 and the structure of the shield machine 10 via the frame body 55 are further increased, and the stress during cantilever can be further dispersed. Can do.

--- Application example 3 ---
Next, a case where the weight 40 is moved by the cantilever 30 will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an application example 3 of the shield machine 10 according to the present embodiment. In this case, in the shield machine 10, the weight 40 is installed so as to be movable with respect to the cantilever 30. For this purpose, for example, the cantilever itself is made of a rail material, or a rail 35 is laid on the cantilever and a weight 40 is placed on a carriage 36 that moves along the rail 35 as a track. (Upper part of FIG. 3: Side sectional view in the case of a cart). The carriage 36 can move on the rail 35, that is, the cantilever 30 with the weight 40. The carriage 36 is, for example, a control device such as a rotation mechanism 37 such as a wheel meshing with the rail 35 or an axle that supports the wheel, a drive mechanism 38 such as a motor that drives the rotation mechanism 37, and an electronic circuit that controls the motor rotation speed. 39 etc. The carriage 36 receives an operation instruction from an administrator who designates a moving distance, a moving speed, and the like through an input interface 34 such as a button or a switch, and the control device 39 that receives the instruction instructs a necessary rotation amount in the rotating mechanism 37. By calculating and controlling the amount of rotation of the rotation mechanism 37 via the drive mechanism 38, it moves to a predetermined position.

  For example, the manager instructs the carriage 36 via the input interface 34 to move at a constant low speed so that the weight 40 gradually moves with the cantilever 30, while measuring the forward tilt amount in the shield machine 10. A value of the forward tilt amount obtained from the sensor 70 (eg, an inclination sensor installed in the hood portion 13) is confirmed, and when the forward tilt amount becomes equal to or less than a predetermined value, the cart 36 is connected via the input interface 34. Notify the movement stop instruction. Of course, such an operation may be automatically performed by the control device 39 of the carriage 36 communicatively connected to the sensor 70.

  With such a configuration, the position of the center of gravity of the shield machine 10 can be freely moved as necessary. For example, when working on soft ground where the shield machine 10 tends to lean forward, the weight 40 on the cantilever is moved to the vicinity of the rear end and the center of gravity of the shield machine 10 is also moved backward, so that the forward lean posture does not occur. When working on a solid ground, the weight center on the cantilever 40 can be moved from the rear end to the vicinity of the center so that the position of the center of gravity can be managed flexibly according to the ground conditions.

  In addition to the above-described form in which the weight 40 is actually moved on the rail of the cantilever 30, a plurality of tanks 60 are installed in the extending direction on the cantilever 30, and the liquid 61 that is the weight 40 is disposed. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which liquid is injected into the tank 60 by the pump mechanism 62 (lower stage in FIG. 3: side sectional view in the case of liquid control). That is, it is an image in which the liquid 61 as the weight 40 is moved between the tanks. For example, the manager instructs the pump mechanism 62 through the input interface 34 to inject liquid at a constant pressure so that the liquid 61 that is a weight of the cantilever 30 is gradually filled in the tank. The value of the amount of forward tilt obtained from a sensor 70 that measures the amount of forward tilt (for example, a tilt sensor installed in the hood portion 13) is confirmed, and when the amount of forward tilt becomes equal to or less than a predetermined value, the input interface 34 An injection stop instruction is notified to the pump mechanism 62 via Of course, such an operation may be automatically performed by the control device of the pump mechanism 62 connected to the sensor 70 so as to be communicable.

  If the liquid 61 once injected is extracted by the pump mechanism 62 and then injected again into another tank, it is agreed that the liquid 61, that is, the weight 40 has moved. In addition to the case where a plurality of individual tanks 60 are installed, the inner space of one large tank that traverses the cantilever 30 is divided into a plurality of compartments, and the movement of the weight 40 is performed by moving the liquid between the compartments. It may be intended. As the liquid 61, for example, a liquid having a specific gravity with which the weight in a state where the tank 60 is filled becomes a necessary weight as the weight 40 is employed. Or, conversely, when a predetermined liquid 61 is filled, a tank 60 having a capacity whose weight becomes a necessary weight as the weight 40 is employed.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the pitching control in the shield machine can be easily performed at an appropriate cost.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described concretely based on the embodiment, it is not limited to this and can be variously changed in the range which does not deviate from the summary.
