[First Embodiment]
A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a partition wall 2 that forms a pressure chamber HC that holds the face collapse earth pressure is provided in the front part of the skin plate 1 a of the shield body 1 formed in an elliptical cross section. . The partition wall 2 includes a fixed partition wall 3 fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the skin plate 1a of the shield body 1, and a through-hole formed in the fixed partition wall 3 around a rotation axis (revolution axis) O1 on the shield shaft. The revolving partition wall (revolved body) 6 is rotatably disposed on the portion 4, and the revolving partition wall 6 is supported by the rear support member 25 via the swivel bearing 5. The revolution partition wall 6 includes a through bearing 7 centered on an eccentric axis O2 that is a predetermined eccentric distance e [e.g., e = (major axis d1 / 2−minor axis d2 / 2) / 2] from the rotational axis O1. The cutter rotation shaft (autorotation body) 8 is rotatably supported in the bearing hole 7a.

  The cutter head 10 attached to the front end portion of the cutter rotating shaft 8 has three main arm-shaped cutters 13 projecting from the central member 11 having a center bit 12 in the radial direction at every 120 ° angle. The outer peripheral excavation end at the tip of the cutter 13 is set so as to be positioned at each of the three apexes of the ruler triangle. Further, a sub-arm-shaped cutter 14 shorter than the main-arm-shaped cutter 13 is projected at an intermediate position between the main-arm-shaped cutters 13 toward the center portion of the triangular triangle piece. The main arm-shaped cutter 13 and the sub-arm-shaped cutter 14 are connected to each other by a reinforcing ring 15, and a cutting bit 16 for excavation is attached to each arm-shaped cutter 13, 14 at a predetermined position. Each of 14 is arranged in the triangle of the rule. In addition, a copy cutter device 17 having a digging bit that can be freely retracted is provided at the outer digging end of the main arm cutter 13.

Further, a screw type earth removing device 9 is provided below the fixed partition wall 3 for discharging the earth and sand excavated by the cutter head 10 to the atmosphere chamber LC side while maintaining the face collapsed earth pressure.
A cutter driving device 21 provided on the air chamber LC side of the fixed partition 3 and rotationally drives the cutter head 10 includes a revolution drive mechanism 21A that rotationally drives the revolution partition 6 and a rotation drive that rotationally drives the cutter rotation shaft 8. It is comprised with the mechanism 21B. The revolution drive mechanism 21A includes a revolution gear G2 provided on the outer peripheral portion of the revolution partition wall 6, a revolution pinion G1 meshing with the revolution gear G2, and the revolution pinion G1 via a cutter drive shaft 22. And a plurality of (or singular) cutter rotation driving devices (hydraulic or electric motors) 23 that are driven to rotate, and a revolution pinion G1 interposed between the revolution pinion G1 and the cutter drive shaft 22, and the rotation speed and rotation of the revolution pinion G1. It is comprised with the transmission gear apparatus 27 which can change a direction. On the other hand, the rotation drive mechanism 21B is a swiveling ring body 26 that is fixed to the shield body 1 and supported by a rear support member 25 that supports the cutter rotation driving device 23 via a swivel bearing 24 so as to be rotatable around the rotation axis O1. A ring external gear G4 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the swivel ring body 26, a ring internal gear G5 formed on the inner peripheral surface of the swivel ring body 26, and the rear side of the cutter rotating shaft 8 being fixed. The rotation gear G6 meshes with the ring internal gear G5, and the rotation pinion G3 fixed to the cutter drive shaft 22 of the cutter drive device 23 common to the revolution drive mechanism 21A.

  Accordingly, the revolving pinion G1 is rotationally driven by the cutter rotation driving device 23 via the transmission gear device 27 to rotate the revolving partition wall 6 in a predetermined direction via the revolving gear G2, and at the same time, the ring external teeth are rotated by the revolving pinion G3. The turning ring body 26 can be rotated via the gear G4, and the cutter drive shaft 22 can be rotated to the ring internal gear G5 via the rotation pinion G3.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 4, for example, the number of teeth Z1 of the revolving pinion G1, the number of teeth Z2 of the revolving gear G2, the number of teeth Z3 of the revolving pinion G3, the number of teeth Z4 of the ring external gear G4, the ring internal teeth When the number of teeth of the gear G5 is Z5 and the number of teeth of the rotation gear G6 is Z6, and the rotation ratio of the input shaft to the output shaft of the transmission gear device 27 is 1: 1, in the case of tunnel excavation with an elliptical section, the amount of eccentricity e = (Major axis-minor axis) / 4. Further, the relationship between the number of teeth Z5 of the ring internal gear G5 and the number of teeth Z6 of the rotation gear G6 requires a relationship of Z5 = Z6 + 2e / M, assuming that the gear module M and the amount of eccentricity e.

  Further, since the revolution pinion G1 and the rotation pinion G3 are provided on the same cutter drive shaft 22, and the revolution gear G2 and the ring external gear G4 are provided on the same rotation axis O1, the revolution pinion Assuming that the module m1 of G1 and the revolution gear G2, the pinion G3 for rotation and the module m2 of the ring external gear G4, the relationship is (Z1 + Z2) × m1 = (Z3 + Z4) × m2.

Incidentally, the rotational speed n ′ of the revolving ring body 26 when the revolving partition wall (revolving body) 6 makes one rotation is n ′ = (Z3 × Z2) / (Z4 × Z1) = + 4/9, and is driven by the revolving ring body 26. Rotational speed n ″ = n ′ × (Z5 / Z6) = [(Z3 × Z2) / (Z4 × Z1)] × (Z5 / Z6) at this time. 6 and the rotation axis 8 is rotated together with the rotation number of the rotation axis 8 of the relative rotation axis n = (Z3 × Z2 × Z5) / (Z4 × Z1 × Z6) − (Z5 / Z6) = − 2/3.
For example, if the eccentricity e is 325 mm, the number of teeth Z1 of the revolving pinion G1 is 29, the number of teeth Z2 of the revolving gear G2 is 174, the module m1 of G1 and G2 is m = 28, and the number of teeth of the rotating pinion G3. Z3 = 14, number of teeth of ring external gear G4 Z4 = 189, module m2 of G3, G4 = 28, number of teeth of ring internal gear G5 Z5 = 78, number of teeth of rotation gear G6 Z6 = 65, Z5 When Z6 module M = 50,
Rotational speed n of the cutter rotation shaft 8 when the revolving partition wall 6 makes one rotation n = (14 × 174 × 78) / (189 × 29 × 65) −78 / 65 = (4 × 6) / (9 × 5) − 5/6 = −2 / 3. The rotational speed of the cutter head 10 at this time is the rotational speed of the revolving partition wall 6 + the rotational speed of the rotation shaft 8 = 1-2 / 3 = 1/3. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 2, the outer peripheral end of the cutter head 10 is rotationally moved while drawing an elliptical locus, and the tunnel Ta having an elliptical cross section can be excavated.

Here, FIG. 7 shows an example in which the rotation ratio of the rotation shaft 8 with respect to the revolving partition wall 6 is changed, including an example of excavation of the elliptical section tunnel Ta.
In Example A, by rotating the cutter rotation shaft 8 by -5/3 with respect to +1 rotation of the revolving partition wall 6, the rotation of the cutter head 10 becomes −2/3 rotation, and the tunnel excavated by the cutter head 10 is As shown in FIG. 4, a large-diameter circular tunnel Tb having a radius increased by the amount of eccentricity e is excavated.

  In Example B, when the cutter rotation shaft 8 is rotated -4/3 with respect to +1 rotation of the revolving partition wall 6, the cutter head 10 is rotated -1/3, and the tunnel excavated by the cutter head 10 is As shown in FIG. 5, a tunnel Tc having an approximately rectangular cross section in which the four corner portions are arc-shaped is excavated. Since the amount of eccentricity e = (major axis−minor axis) / 2 is not satisfied, the four sides are not straight lines, but are curved slightly outward.

  In Example C, when the swiveling ring body 26 is fixed and the number of teeth Z5 of the ring internal gear G5 is the number of teeth Z6 of the rotating gear G6 = 4: 3, Thus, the cutter rotation shaft 8 is rotated by -6/5, and the rotation of the cutter head 10 becomes -1/5. As a result, similarly to Example B, a tunnel Tc having a substantially rectangular cross section in which the four corner portions shown in FIG.

  Example D is the example described above, and by rotating the cutter rotation shaft 8 by −2/3 rotation with respect to the rotation of the revolving partition wall 6 by +1, the rotation of the cutter head 10 becomes +1/3 rotation. As shown in FIG. 2, the tunnel excavated by 10 is excavated with a tunnel Ta having a horizontally long elliptical cross section.

  When the tunnels Ta, Tb, and Tc are overlapped, they are represented as shown in FIG. 6, and the tunnel Tb in Example A can be excavated to the outer peripheral side of the other tunnels Ta and Tc. In comparison, the cutter head 10 can be expanded to the left and right. Here, when Tb is excavated continuously in the tunnels Ta and Tc, the shield machine will fall, but if it is a short distance that removes the obstacle, there will be a problem by injecting the backfill material. There is no.

  Therefore, for example, a shield machine 51 having a substantially rectangular cross section is used as shown in FIG. 8, and the tunnel Tc having a substantially rectangular cross section is inserted into a path (curvature radius is short) curved with a large curvature during excavation. When it starts, by changing to the tunnel Ta and continuously excavating, the tunnel width in the bending radius direction can be expanded and the shield body can be tilted. For example, the front barrel 51a and the rear barrel 51b are bent as shown in the figure. If so, the attitude can be controlled stably by reducing the bending angle. Further, since the curved path is excavated, the axial length of the shield body is not restricted.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9, when there is a rectangular cross-section tunnel Tc ′ arranged side by side during excavation of the tunnel Tc having a substantially rectangular cross section, the ground can be changed by changing the tunnel Tc to an elliptical cross-section tunnel Ta or a large circular cross-section tunnel Tb. The improved portion can be lap excavated, and by filling the lap excavated portion with a filler, it is possible to stabilize the ground when joining the parallel tunnels.

  Further, for example, when the shield body 1 having a rectangular cross section is provided and the rectangular cross section tunnel Tc is being excavated, and the right and left outer surfaces of the shield body 1 have protrusions such as an injection nozzle or a pipe for ground improvement agent, There is no problem in the ground that is mixed with gravel, but when hard rock appears or when excavating the wall of the shaft, it is impossible to excavate the tunnel of the cross section including the protrusion with the copy cutter. If you try to pass through, the projection may be damaged. Therefore, in this shield machine, as shown in FIG. 10, by excavating the rectangular section tunnel Tc and the elliptical section tunnel Ta by alternately switching the example B and the example D in units of several millimeters, The composite cross-sectional tunnel Te in which the rectangular cross-sectional tunnel Tc and the elliptical cross-sectional tunnel Ta overlap is excavated. Thereby, it can extend to the side of the shield body 1 where the projection is located, excavate the obstacle, and prevent the projection from being damaged in advance.

  According to the above embodiment, in the rotation drive mechanism 21B of the cutter driving device 21, the turning ring body 26 that rotationally drives the cutter rotation shaft 8 is moved around the rotation axis O1 to the rear support member 25 via the turning bearing 24. By being supported rotatably, the load can be distributed to the outer peripheral side in the shield body 1, the load in the rotating direction of the swivel ring body 26 can be reduced, and the strength of the rear support member 25 and the support member 28 is reduced. can do. In addition, the rotating ring body 26 together with the revolving partition wall 6 and the revolving pinion G1 provided on the cutter drive shaft 22 are rotated together with the revolving partition wall 6 on the same rotation axis O1 that is rotatably arranged around the same rotation axis O1 as the revolving partition wall 6. With the diversion pinion G3, the revolution drive of the revolution partition wall 6 and the rotation drive of the turning ring body 26 can be rotationally driven. Thereby, reduction and size reduction of a cutter rotation drive device can be achieved.

  Further, the transmission gear unit 27 can change the cross-sectional shape of the tunnel by changing the rotation speed and the rotation direction of the revolution pinion G1 with respect to the rotation pinion. For example, when constructing a curve with a large curvature during excavation of the rectangular cross-section tunnel Tc, by switching to the elliptical cross-section tunnel Ta (or large-diameter cross-section tunnel Tb), a wide excavation width in the curved radial direction is secured, and the shield body It is possible to reduce the contact angle between the front body 51a and the back body 51b, or to reduce the bending angle of the shield body in which the front body 51a and the rear body 51b are flexibly connected, thereby achieving stable excavation and stable posture. it can. Further, by securing a large amount of excavation on the adjacent side of the ground improvement portion S with the tunnel Tc 'arranged side by side, the ground can be stabilized at the time of joining the parallel tunnel by performing lap excavation. Furthermore, when there is a hard obstacle in the excavation part, the cutter head 10 can excavate the composite section Te by alternately switching the rotation direction and the rotation speed of the revolving partition wall 6 and the cutter rotation shaft 8. As a result, damage to the protrusions on the outer peripheral portion of the shield body 1 can be prevented.

The gear transmission 27 may be provided between the cutter drive shaft 22 and the rotation pinion G3.
[Embodiment 2]
In this second embodiment, instead of the transmission gear device 27 in the first embodiment, a power separating device 31 capable of switching between transmission and non-transmission of rotational force from the drive shaft to the rotation pinion G3 and a swivel ring body 26 are fixed. A possible ring lock device 32 is provided.

  In other words, the power separation device 31 is configured such that the rotation pinion G3 is slidably fitted on the slide portion 22a formed of the spline outer tooth portion and the tooth notch portion formed on the cutter drive shaft 22 via the spline inner teeth so as to be slidable. The rotation pinion G3 is constituted by a switching device 31b including a linear drive device that slides between the spline tooth portion and the tooth notch portion of the slide portion 22a via the member 31a.

  Further, the ring lock device 32 is provided with a rear plate 28 that supports the cutter rotation driving device 23 via an intermediate member on the outer peripheral side of the shield body 1 on the back surface of the rear support member 25, and rotates on the rear plate 28. A pin retracting device 32a that is disposed at regular intervals in the circumferential direction centered on the axis O1 and is capable of withdrawing and retracting the lock pins 32b in the direction of the rotational axis O1 and a back surface of the swiveling ring body 26 at regular intervals. The lock pin hole 32c is formed.

  Therefore, by stopping the power transmission from the cutter drive shaft 22 to the rotation pinion G3 by the power separation device 31, and simultaneously locking the swiveling ring body 26 by the ring lock device 3, the rectangular cross-section tunnel Tc is formed as in Example C. It can be excavated, and two types of tunnels with irregular cross sections can be excavated in combination with other cross-sectional tunnels Ta, Tb and the like.

According to the second embodiment, the same effects as those of the first embodiment can be achieved.

A rotation pinion G3 meshing with the external gear G4 is attached.

  Therefore, by changing the rotation direction and rotation speed of the revolving cutter rotation drive device 23A and the rotation cutter rotation drive device 23B during excavation, the rotation direction and rotation speed of the cutter head are changed, and the excavation section is changed.
