As described above, the screw auger 2 is rotated up and down to excavate the front ground of the tube body 1 and the propulsion jack as the propulsion means 16 is extended to thereby extend the tube body 1 to the square tube 22. The same length as that. In this case, since the left and right movable carriage 24 can be disposed on the horizontal upper frame portion 21a of the blade 21 in the square tubes 22 arranged in parallel in the lateral direction, It is not necessary to provide a rotation driving means for the auger 23. However, in the case of the tubes 1 arranged in the vertical direction, a space provided with a movable carriage provided with the rotation driving means for the screw auger 2 so as to be movable in the vertical direction. Since it is difficult to provide a screw auger 2 in all the pipes 1 as described above, the screw auger 2 can be rotated in the vertical direction to reduce the number of pipes. The front ground of the both side walls 20b, 20b of the underground structure 20 is configured to be fully excavable with the number of one.

  The earth and sand excavated by the screw auger 23 in the square tube 22 falls into the blade edge 21 from the discharge port 27 opened on the lower surface of the rear end portion of each square tube 22, and similarly the screw in the tube 1 The earth and sand excavated by the auger 2 are discharged into the blade edge 21 through the earth and sand discharge chute 15 provided on one side surface of the rear end portion of the pipe body 1 as described above. The ground excavated earth and sand are removed to the start shaft 30 side through the underground structure 20.

After pushing all the pipes 1 and the square pipes 22 into the ground for a certain length as described above, a plurality of underground pipes interposed between the rear end face of the underground structure 20 and the rear wall face of the starting shaft 30 By extending the structure propulsion jack, the underground structure is excavated by the cutting edge 21 attached to the front end surface of the underground structure 20 by a length equal to the digging length of the tubular body 1 and the square tube 22 while excavating the front ground. Promote 20 underground. At this time, the propulsion jack which is the propulsion means 16 of the pipe body 1 is contracted according to the propulsion of the underground structure 20.

  Next, again, in the same manner as described above, the work for excavating the tube body 1 and the square tube row by a fixed length and the work for propelling the underground structure 20 by the same length after this work are performed, and the underground structure is repeated by repeating this operation. The underpass is constructed by connecting the front end of the object 20 to the reach shaft. The horizontal hole excavator and the square tube 22 etc. that have reached the reach shaft side are removed, recovered, and used for burying the next underground structure. In addition, when the length of the underground passage to be built by the underground structure 20 is long, the underground structure having a length obtained by dividing the length of the underground passage may be propelled and embedded while sequentially connecting the underground structures. That's fine. As described above, the present invention is suitably used for excavation of a vertically long cross-sectional shape, but is not limited thereto, and can be applied to various rectangular cross sections such as a square cross section. Further, the excavating means A may be configured not to be single but to be provided in the left and right or up and down depending on the cross-sectional shape to be excavated, and a mechanism for rotating the screw auger 2 in the left and right direction is added. It is good also as composition to do.
