The specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention will be clear to those skilled in the art based on specific cases.

Below, as seen in FIG. 1-13, an apparatus for aligning tunnel lining segments relative to each other, used in a tunneling machine, according to embodiments of the present invention, is provided.

In FIG. 1-13, an apparatus for aligning tunnel lining segments relative to each other, used in a tunneling machine, according to embodiments of the first aspect of the present invention, is shown in the tunneling machine with a mounting mechanism 200 configured to move in the longitudinal direction of the tunnel (in FIG. 1 this is the direction forward or backward). Moreover, the term "longitudinal direction of the tunnel" means the direction of passage of the tunnel.

In particular, the mounting mechanism 200 is intended for mounting the tunnel lining segments 400, and the inner wall of the tunnel is obtained by sequentially connecting the plurality of lining segment elements 401, wherein after the mounting mechanism 200 connects the plurality of lining segment elements 401 to the tunnel lining segment 400, which corresponds to the outer contour of the tunnel, it can by cementation attach the thus obtained tunnel lining segment 400 to the tunnel in order to obtain the inner wall of the tunnel. A device for aligning segments of the lining of the tunnel relative to each other and the mounting mechanism 200 are located in the longitudinal direction of the tunnel, and the mounting mechanism 200 is provided with a lifting member 2 configured to pull and pull in the up and down directions, respectively. The mounting mechanism 200 may be provided with a mounting platform 2021, and the lifting member 2 may be attached to the mounting platform 2021. For example, the lifting member 2 may be welded to the mounting platform 2021, and may also be attached to the mounting platform 2021 by means of fasteners.

The device for aligning the tunnel lining segments with respect to each other comprises a support frame 1, and when the device for aligning the tunnel lining segments with respect to each other, the support frame 1 supports at least a part of the plurality of elements of the lining segment 401 for aligning the shape of the tunnel. Of course, depending on the actual requirements, the support frame 1 may support a part of the plurality of lining segment elements 401 for aligning the relative position of the indicated part of the lining segment elements 401, while the device for aligning the tunnel lining segments relative to each other aligns part of the tunnel. Or, the support frame 1 can support all the elements 401 of the lining segment, and thus, the alignment of the shape of the entire tunnel is performed to give it a predetermined shape. Therefore, alignment by means of a device for aligning tunnel lining segments with respect to each other can prevent the tunnel shape from changing due to uneven cementation, as well as from geological and other reasons, which ensures the construction of a tunnel of a predetermined shape, and thus ensures a high-quality construction of the tunnel; at the same time, construction work efficiency can also be ensured. In addition, the shape of the support frame 1 may be determined by the shape of the tunnel. For example, if the inner circumference of the tunnel is generally round, then the shape of the outer circumference of the support frame 1 is consistent with the shape of the inner circumference of the tunnel. If necessary, the support frame 1 may be a steel frame.

In addition, the fixing pins 111 are installed in the support frame 1, while the fixing pins 111 can be mounted on the surface of the inner wall in the upper part of the supporting frame 1, for example, the fixing pins 111 can be welded to the supporting frame 1. If necessary, the number of fixing pins 111 can be two, with two fixing pins 111 can be installed at a distance from each other in the width direction of the tunnel. In the lifting element 2, locking holes 251 are provided for engaging the locking pins 111, while the locking holes 251 can be made in the upper part of the lifting element 2, which makes it convenient to insert the locking pins 111 into the locking holes 251 and withdrawn from it . In addition, the term “tunnel width direction” means a direction extending perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the tunnel in a horizontal plane.

In particular, when the device is used to align the tunnel lining segments relative to each other, first by moving the mounting mechanism 200, the lifting element 2 is moved to a place where it will be parallel to the device for aligning the tunnel lining segments relative to each other, and then the fixing pins 111 in the support frame 1 are engaged with the locking holes 251 in the lifting element 2. Then the lifting element 2 is pulled up to the first predetermined position to fix these pins 111 are inserted into the locking holes 251 for engagement, this ensures that the device for aligning the tunnel lining segments is connected to each other with the lifting element 2, and thus, by the lifting element 2, the device for aligning the tunnel lining segments is connected to each other with mounting mechanism 200. After the device for aligning the tunnel lining segments relative to each other is disconnected from the above tunnel lining segment 400, under the drawer element 2 is retracted to a second predetermined position, and in the process, the locking pins 111 remain engaged in the fixing holes 251. The mounting mechanism 200 moves in the opposite direction to the place where the tunnel needs to be aligned, and thus by moving the mounting mechanism 200 there is a movement of the device for aligning the segments of the lining of the tunnel relative to each other, while there is no need for a separate power source designed to move the device to align the lining of the tunnel lining relative to each other, the number of components is reduced, the cost is reduced and an even simpler and more compact design can be provided.

After the device for aligning the tunnel lining segments relative to each other moves to the installation site in the tunnel, the lifting member 2 is pulled up to the above first predetermined position and at the same time moves the support frame 1 upward so that the support frame 1 supports the tunnel lining segment 400, and thus Thus, the restoration of the shape of the tunnel. Of course, the support frame 1 itself, in addition, can also be adapted to be retracted and pulled out, and after the lifting element 2 is pulled upward to ensure that the support frame 1 of the tunnel lining segment 400 is supported on the inner wall of the tunnel, the outer circumference of the support frame 1 can increase in height so that the support frame 1 supports more elements of the lining segment elements 401 or all elements of the lining segment 401, and the stability of the device for aligning the tunnel lining segments of the tunnel can also be provided of each other during reshaping of the tunnel, and thus, the tunnel is obtained a predetermined shape. It should be noted that during restoration of the tunnel shape by means of a device for aligning the tunnel lining segments with respect to each other, the device for aligning the tunnel lining segments with respect to each other by the support frame 1 supports the tunnel lining segment 400 and also provides support and stability to it.

After the lifting element 2 is pulled upward to a first predetermined position so that the support frame 1 supports the tunnel lining segment 400 on the inner wall of the tunnel, the lifting element 2 can be pulled downward, while the locking pins 111 on the supporting frame 1 are disengaged from the fixing holes 251 in the lifting member 2, that is, the lifting member 2 is separated from the device for aligning the tunnel lining segments with respect to each other, and the support frame 1 continues to support the tunnel lining segment 400. After the lifting member 2 is pulled down to a third predetermined position, the mounting mechanism 200 can move forward to continue to connect the tunnel lining segments 400, while the lifting member 2 moves forward together with the mounting mechanism 200. After the mounting mechanism 200 connects the segments 400 tunnel lining in the section, it repeats the above process to adjust the shape of the tunnel lining segments 400 in the new section. In addition, the term “forward” means the direction of the face of the tunnel; the term "back" means the direction opposite to the direction "forward", that is, the direction from the bottom of the tunnel.

It should be noted that the ratio of the aforementioned first predetermined position, second predetermined position and third predetermined position to each other is that the second predetermined position is lower than the first predetermined position and higher than the third predetermined position.

In the device for aligning the tunnel lining segments relative to each other, used in a tunneling machine, according to embodiments of the present invention, by moving the mounting mechanism 200 in the tunneling machine, the device for aligning the tunnel lining segments relative to each other is moved, and thus, the need can be eliminated in a separate power source used to move the device to align the tunnel lining segments relative to each other, and, sequences, you can reduce costs and at the same time provide quality and efficiency of the construction of the tunnel construction works as well as it has the advantage of a simple and compact design.

In particular, after as the mounting mechanism 200 moves to a place where it will be located parallel to the device for aligning the tunnel lining segments relative to each other, and the locking pins 111 on the support frame 1 are engaged e with the fixing holes 251 in the lifting element 2, by means of the safety pin 3, the support frame 1 is additionally fixed on the lifting element 2, and thus, a stronger connection of the supporting frame 1 with the lifting element 2 can be ensured, and the device for aligning the lining segments is prevented from vibrating the tunnel relative to each other, arising during the movement of the mounting mechanism 200, or the fall of the device for aligning segments of the lining of the tunnel relative to each other, caused by Connections aligning apparatus tunnel lining segments relative to each other by the elevating member 2 under the action of external forces, eliminating the existing and potential security risk, in addition, the safety and reliability of the equipment during operation and maintenance. And after the device for aligning the segments of the lining of the tunnel with respect to each other by means of the mounting mechanism 200 moves to the installation site in the tunnel and by means of the lifting element 2 rises to the first predetermined position, while the supporting frame 1 and the supporting frame 1 are simultaneously moved upward due to an increase in size or otherwise supports and stabilizes the tunnel lining segment 400, the safety pin 3 can be removed so that the lifting member 2 and the support frame 1 are disengaged from each other, and, therefore, the lifting member 2 could be retracted smoothly.

For example, in certain embodiments of the present invention, as seen in FIG. 3, FIG. 6 and FIG. 8, a fixing bracket 25 is provided at the upper end of the lifting member 2, while the fixing holes 251 are made in the fixing bracket 25 for the convenience of making the fixing holes 251 and, thus, for the convenience of entering the locking pins 111 into engagement with the locking holes 251 and out of it . The first hole for the pin is made in the support frame 1, and the second hole 112 for the pin is additionally made in the mounting bracket 25, and one end of the safety pin 3 is connected to the mounting bracket 25, and the other end passes through the first hole for the pin and the second hole 112 for the pin for securing the support frame 1 on the lifting element 2. Therefore, by means of the safety pin 3, fix the supporting frame 1 on the lifting element 2 in order to prevent oscillation that occurs during the movement of the device for Aligning the tunnel lining segments relative to each other is convenient, and when removing the safety pin 3, you only need to pull out the safety pin 3 to remove the safety pin 3 from the first hole for the pin and the second hole 112 for the pin, and thus force the lifting element 2 and the support frame 1 is disengaged from each other, which makes the use of the safety pin 3 convenient. In addition, one end of the safety pin 3 is connected to the mounting bracket 25, for example, the above one end of the safety pin 3 can be connected to the mounting bracket 25 by a chain 31, while one end of the chain 31 is connected to the above one end of the safety pin 3 by welding, and its other end is connected by welding to the mounting bracket 25, and therefore, the fall or loss of the safety pin 3 can be prevented.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as seen in FIG. 3, FIG. 6, FIG. 7 and FIG. 9-12, the support frame 1 comprises a first support frame 11 and a second support frame 12 located at the top and bottom and connected to each other. If necessary, the first support frame 11 and the second support frame 12 as a whole can be semicircular, with the first support frame 11 open down and the second support frame 12 open up. The two ends of the first support frame 11 are connected respectively to the two ends of the second support frame 12 by means of telescopic elements 15, while when the telescopic elements 15 are extended, the support frame 1 aligns the shape of the tunnel. In particular, after the lifting element 2 is pulled up to the first predetermined position and at the same time raises the support frame 1, the support frame 1 supports the upper part of the tunnel lining segment 400, and then, by pulling the telescopic elements 15 mounted on the support frame 1, the first support can be moved the frames 11 and the second support frame 12 relative to each other, and thus, the size of the support frame 1 can be increased so that the support frame 1 better supports the tunnel lining segment 400, for example, that the support frame 1 could fully support the tunnel lining segment 400, and ensure the stability of the device for aligning the tunnel lining segments relative to each other in the process of restoring the shape of the tunnel, and thus, it is possible to bring the shape of the tunnel to a predetermined shape and to ensure high-quality construction of the tunnel. If necessary, elastic gaskets 13 can be provided on the outer circumferential surface of the first support frame 11 and the outer circumferential surface of the second support frame 12, and therefore, when the support frame 1 supports the tunnel lining segment 400 when enlarged, damage to the support frame 1 can be prevented. segment 400 tunnel lining.

One end of the retractable inner cylinder 152 (as seen in Fig. 5, the upper end of the retractable inner the lower cylinder 152) is connected to the first support frame 11, and the other end of the retractable inner cylinder 152 (as seen in FIG. 5, the lower end of the retractable inner cylinder 152) is a free end; for example, the aforementioned one end of the retractable inner cylinder 152 may be connected to the first support frame 11 by means of bolts. One end of the retractable outer cylinder 153 (as seen in FIG. 5, the lower end of the retractable outer cylinder 153) is connected to the second support frame 12, and the other end of the retractable outer cylinder 153 (as seen in FIG. 5, the upper end of the retractable outer cylinder 153) represents the free end; for example, the above one end of the retractable outer cylinder 153 may be connected to the second support frame 12 by means of bolts.

In addition, the free end of the sliding inner cylinder 152 can move up and down relative to the free end of the sliding outer cylinder 153. Therefore, when the sliding mechanism 151 extends upward, the free end of the sliding inner cylinder 152 moves upward relative to the free end of the sliding outer cylinder 153, and, in this way, all the telescopic elements 15 are elongated, and an increase in the size of the support frame 1 is also provided; when the sliding mechanism 151 is pulled down, the free end of the sliding inner cylinder 152 is moved downward relative to the free end of the sliding outer cylinder 153, and thus, all the telescopic elements 15 are retracted, and the support frame 1 is returned to its original state. In addition, the design of such telescopic elements 15 is simple and easy to pull and pull. If necessary, the extension mechanism 151 may be a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder or a linear actuator with an electric drive.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as seen in FIG. 3, position sensors 154 are provided on the telescopic elements 15 for detecting the position of the telescopic elements 15 when pulling and pulling. Therefore, the position sensors 154 determine the position of the telescopic elements 15 when pulling and pulling, and, on the one hand, it can be determined whether the telescopic elements 15 have reached a certain position when pulling or a certain position when pulling in order to ensure stable and reliable operation of the device for aligning segments lining the tunnel relative to each other, as well as ensure high-quality construction of the tunnel; and on the other hand, based on the information about the specific position received from the position sensors 154, it is possible to accurately control the operation of the device to align the tunnel lining segments with respect to each other.

For example, after the lifting element 2 moves to a place where it will be parallel to the device for aligning the tunnel lining segments with respect to each other, and the lifting element 2 is pulled up to the first predetermined position so that the locking pins 111 enter the locking holes 251 for engagement with them, by retracting the telescopic elements 15, the support frame 1 is separated from the tunnel lining segments 400, and after the position sensors 154 determine that the telescopic elements 15 have reached a certain When retracting, the control of the retraction of the lifting element 2 occurs so that the device for aligning the tunnel lining segments is prevented from falling due to loss of support and the device for aligning the tunnel lining segments is stable in operation.

In another example, after the device for aligning the tunnel lining segments relative to each other moves to the installation site in the tunnel, the lifting element 2 is pulled up to the first predetermined position so that the support frame 1 supports the tunnel lining segment 400 of the upper part, and by pulling the telescopic of elements 15, the size of the support frame 1 is increased so that the support frame 1 better or fully supports the tunnel lining segment 400, while the device for aligning the tunnel lining segments relative to the other g friend by supporting the segment 400 of the lining of the tunnel provides him with support and stability. After the position sensors 154 determine that the telescopic elements 15 have reached a certain position when pulling, the pulling of the lifting element 2 down can be controlled to prevent the device for aligning the tunnel lining segments from each other due to loss of support, and stable operation of the device is ensured to align the tunnel lining segments relative to each other.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as seen in FIG. 8, the lifting member 2 comprises a lifting mechanism 21, a supporting inner cylinder 22, and a supporting outer cylinder 23, successively located from the inside to the outside. The lower part of the supporting outer cylinder 23 is connected to the mounting mechanism 200; one end of the lifting mechanism 21 (as seen in FIG. 8, the upper end of the lifting mechanism 21) is connected to the supporting inner cylinder 22, and the other end of the lifting mechanism 21 (as seen in FIG. 8, the lower end of the lifting mechanism 21) is connected to the supporting outer cylinder 23; for example, the above two ends of the lifting mechanism 21 can be respectively connected to the supporting inner cylinder 22 and the supporting outer cylinder 23 by pivot pins 211, while the free end of the supporting inner cylinder 22 can move up and down relative to the free end of the supporting outer cylinder 23. Therefore, when the lifting mechanism 21 rises, the free end of the supporting inner cylinder 22 moves upward relative to the free end of the supporting outer cylinder 23, and, that them, the lifting member 2 extend upwards; when the lifting mechanism 21 is pulled down, the free end of the supporting inner cylinder 22 is moved downward relative to the free end of the supporting outer cylinder 23, and thus the lifting element 2 is pulled down. If necessary, the lifting mechanism 21 is a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder or a linear actuator with an electric drive.

In addition, as seen in FIG. 8, a guide member 24 may be provided between the support inner cylinder 22 and the support outer cylinder 23, wherein the guide element 24 is connected to one of the support outer cylinder 23 and the support inner cylinder 22 and can slide up and down relative to the other of the support outer cylinder 23 and a support inner cylinder 22. For example, if the guide member 24 is connected to the support outer cylinder 23, the guide member 24 may slide up and down relative to the support inner cylinder 22; if the guiding element 24 is connected to the supporting inner cylinder 22, then the guiding element 24 can slide up and down relative to the supporting outer cylinder 23. Therefore, the direction through the guiding element 24 of the relative movement between the supporting inner cylinder 22 and the supporting outer cylinder 23 can provide stable pulling and retracting the lifting member 2. If necessary, nipples 241 may be provided in the place where the supporting outer cylinder 23 is connected to the guide member 2, and through the grease nipples 241, a lubricant can flow in the direction of the guide member 24, which provides lubrication between the guide member 24 and the support inner cylinder 22.

If necessary, the supporting inner cylinder 22 and the supporting outer cylinder 23 can be made in the form of round tubes or square tubes. If the supporting inner cylinder 22 and the supporting outer cylinder 23 are made in the form of square tubes, then the guiding elements 24 may be four, while four guiding elements 24 are respectively mounted on the respective four sides of the supporting inner cylinder 22 and the supporting outer cylinder 23.

In certain embodiments of the present invention, as seen in FIG. 8, the guide element 24 is connected to the supporting outer cylinder 23 and can slide up and down relative to the supporting inner cylinder 22, while the gap between the guide element 24 and the supporting inner cylinder 22 can be adjusted. Therefore, by adjusting the gap between the guide element 24 and the supporting inner cylinder 22, the gap value remains within acceptable limits, and thus the guide element 24 better performs the direction function. For example, the guide element 24 may be connected to the supporting outer cylinder 23 by means of bolts 242, and by adjusting the bolts 242, the gap between the guide element 24 and the supporting inner cylinder 22 can be adjusted, which makes it convenient to adjust the gap between the guide element 24 and the supporting inner cylinder 22.

Of course, if the gap between the supporting inner cylinder 22 and the supporting outer cylinder 23 is relatively small, then the above guide element 24 between the supporting inner cylinder 22 and the supporting outer cylinder 23 may not be provided, and during the movement of the supporting inner cylinder 22, the inner circular surface of the supporting outer cylinder 23 may serve as a guide when moving the supporting inner cylinder 22.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, a proximity switch 26 is provided on the lifting member 2 for detecting the position of the lifting member 2 when pulling and pulling. By means of the mounted proximity switch 26, the position of the lifting element 2 when pulling and pulling is determined to determine whether the telescopic elements 15 have reached a certain position when pulling and pulling, which contributes to precise control of the operation of the device for aligning the tunnel lining segments relative to each other and ensures stable safe and reliable operation of the equipment. For example, three proximity switches 26 can be mounted on the lifting member 2, while the three proximity switches 26 are a first proximity switch, a second proximity switch and a second proximity switch, respectively.

In addition, the first proximity switch may be designed to determine whether the lifting element 2 has extended up to the above-mentioned first predetermined position. In particular, after the lifting element 2 is moved to a place where it will be parallel to the device for aligning the tunnel lining segments with respect to each other, and the lifting element 2 is pulled up to the first predetermined position so that the locking pins 111 enter the fixing holes 251 for by means of the first proximity switch, it is possible to determine whether the lifting element 2 has risen to the first predetermined position, and by means of the first proximity switch, it is determined whether the lifting element 2 up to the first predetermined position, while in combination with the position sensors 154, it is simultaneously determined whether the telescopic elements 15 are in the position in which they are extended, and the retraction of the telescopic elements 15 is controlled so as to separate the support frame 1 from the segment 400 tunnel lining. After the device for aligning the tunnel lining segments relative to each other moves to the installation site in the tunnel, the lifting element 2 is pulled up to the first predetermined position so that the support frame 1 supports the upper lining of the tunnel segment 400, and it can be determined by means of the first proximity switch whether the lifting element 2 has risen to the first predetermined position, and by means of the first proximity switch, it is determined whether the lifting element 2 has been pulled up to the first predetermined position , The combined position sensors 154 simultaneously determines whether the telescopic members 15 are in the position in which they are involved, and are controlled by stretching the telescopic elements 15 to the support frame 1 is completely supported 400 tunnel lining segment. Thanks to the installed first proximity switch, the telescopic elements 15 can be pulled out and pulled in only if the lifting element 2 is pulled up to the first predetermined position, and thus the equipment is protected from damage and operator safety is ensured.

In addition, the second proximity switch may be designed to determine whether the lifting element 2 has extended up to the above second predetermined position. In particular, before the device for aligning the tunnel lining segments with respect to each other by means of the mounting mechanism 200 is moved horizontally, the lifting element 2 must be pulled into a second predetermined position, and it can be determined by means of a second proximity switch whether the lifting element 2 is in a second predetermined position ; by means of a second proximity switch, it is determined whether the element is in the second predetermined position and the movement of the mounting mechanism 200 is controlled; therefore, it is possible to ensure smooth movement of the device for aligning the tunnel lining segments relative to each other together with the mounting mechanism 200 and to prevent the situation when the telescopic elements 15 do not reach the desired position, and the device for aligning the tunnel lining segments relative to each other touches the inner wall of the tunnel.

The third proximity switch may be designed to determine whether the lifting element 2 is pulled down into the above third predetermined position. In particular, after the lifting member 2 is pulled upward to a first predetermined position so that the support frame 1 supports the upper tunnel lining segment 400, and by pulling the telescopic elements 15, the size of the supporting frame 1 is increased so that the supporting frame 1 fully supports the lining segment 400 the tunnel, and after using the position sensors 154 it is determined whether the telescopic elements 15 have reached a certain position when pulling, the lifting element 2 is pulled down to a third predetermined position, with this, by means of a third proximity switch, it is possible to determine whether the lifting element 2 is in a third predetermined position; and by means of a third proximity switch, it is determined whether the lifting member 2 is in the third predetermined position, and the forward movement of the mounting mechanism 200 is controlled. Therefore, it is possible to ensure that the lifting member 2 is relatively low, and also protect the equipment from damage and save energy consumption.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as seen in FIG. 3 and FIG. 8, a deviation switch 27 may be provided on the lifting member 2 for determining the location of the lifting member 2 and the support frame 1 relative to each other. In particular, when the lifting member 2 is pulled upward to the first predetermined position, the fit between the lifting member 2 and the support frame 1 is determined by the deflection switch 27. If the lifting member 2 is adjacent to the supporting frame 1, then controlling the device for aligning the tunnel lining segments with respect to each other carried out so that it continues to work in the prescribed manner; if there is a relatively large gap between the lifting element 2 and the supporting frame 1 or they do not fit together, the deviation switch 27 gives a signal, and the device for aligning the tunnel lining segments relative to each other is controlled so as to stop its operation. Therefore, it is possible to ensure stable and reliable operation of the equipment, as well as to ensure high-quality construction of the tunnel.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as seen in FIG. 4, outriggers 14 are provided on the support frame 1 to prevent tipping of the support frame 1, while the outriggers 14 extend in the longitudinal direction of the tunnel. Therefore, if due to the unexpected retraction of the lifting element 2, the unexpected retraction of the telescopic elements 15, the impact on the support of the frame 1 of large external forces or for other reasons, the device for aligning the segments of the lining of the tunnel relative to each other loses its support and may fall, thanks to the installed the outriggers 14 can provide a relatively small angle of incidence of the support frame 1, and she will be able to get a support, for example, the support frame 1 can be supported by the outriggers 14 on the interior wall of the tunnel and stabilize so that the supporting frame 1 does not continue to fall down, and thus, the device for aligning the tunnel lining segments relative to each other and the device for aligning the tunnel lining segments relative to each other or damage to the mounting mechanism 200 and other elements are prevented .

For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the number of outriggers 14 is eight, with four outriggers 14 mounted on the upper end of the support frame 1, and the remaining four outriggers 14 mounted on the lower end of the support frame 1. Of the four outriggers 14 mounted on the upper end of the support frame 1 , two outriggers 14 are on the front side of the support frame 1, and the other two outriggers 14 are on the back side of the frame; of the four outriggers 14 mounted on the lower end of the support frame 1, two outriggers 14 are on the front side of the support frame 1, and the other two outriggers 14 are on the rear side of the frame. Therefore, due to the fact that several outriggers 14 are uniformly and symmetrically located on the support frame 1, the construction of the support frame 1 can be balanced, and the tipping of the support frame 1 can be prevented when the support frame 1 falls back or forward. If necessary, the length of the outriggers 14 that are at the upper end may be longer than the length of the outriggers 14 that are at the lower end, and therefore, the tipping of the support frame 1 can be better prevented.

S10 - after installation by the mounting mechanism 200 of the Nth segment 400 of the tunnel lining, the segment 400 of the tunnel lining by cementation is attached to the tunnel to form the inner wall of the tunnel; the mounting mechanism 200 is moved in the first direction to the place N-1 of the tunnel lining segment 400 and the lifting element 2 is installed parallel to the support frame 1 (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 13); the lifting element 2 is pulled up to the first predetermined position with the insertion of the fixing pins 111 into the locking holes 251 for engagement (see FIG. 10), then the device for aligning the tunnel lining segments relative to each other is connected to the lifting element 2 and, thus, by means of the lifting element element 2, the device for aligning the segments of the lining of the tunnel relative to each other is connected to the mounting mechanism 200. In addition, N≥2, while N represents a positive integer. It should be noted that the term “first direction” means a direction extending upward relative to the longitudinal direction of the tunnel face, and a direction backward, as shown in FIG. thirteen.

S20 — the support frame 1 is separated from the N-1 of the tunnel lining segment 400; for example, they can control the retraction of the support frame 1 in order to separate the support frame 1 from the N-1 of the tunnel lining segment 400 (as seen in FIG. 9). Then, the lifting element 2 is pulled down to a second predetermined position, wherein the second predetermined position is lower than the first predetermined position. Therefore, due to the fact that the lifting element 2 is set to the second predetermined position, the support frame 1 can be completely separated from the N-1 of the tunnel lining segment 400 and the situation where the device for aligning the tunnel lining segments relative to each other touches the tunnel lining segment 400 in the process of subsequent movement.

S30 - the mounting mechanism 200 is moved to the place of the Nth segment 400 of the tunnel lining in the second direction opposite to the first direction (forward direction, as shown in Fig. 13); the lifting element 2 is pulled upward to a first predetermined position in order to press in an upward direction to the support frame 1 (see FIG. 10); the support frame 1 supports the Nth segment 400 of the lining of the tunnel to align the shape of the tunnel (see Fig. 11); for example, they can increase the size of the support frame 1, so that the support frame 1 supports the N-th segment of the tunnel lining 400.

S40 - the lifting element 2 is pulled down with the release of the fixing pins 111 from the fixing holes 251 (see Fig. 12), while the lifting element 2 is separated from the device for aligning the segments of the lining of the tunnel relative to each other, the supporting frame 1 still continues to support N the 400th tunnel lining segment 400 and the support frame 1, due to the fact that it supports the Nth tunnel lining segment 400, ensures stability; and a device for aligning segments of the lining of the tunnel relative to each other restores the shape of the tunnel. The lifting element 2 is pulled into the third predetermined position. In addition, the third predetermined position is lower than the second predetermined position.

S50 — the mounting mechanism 200 in the aforementioned second direction is moved to the mounting location in the tunnel (see FIG. 1 and FIG. 13), and by the mounting mechanism 200, the N + 1 tunnel lining segment 400 is mounted. Of course, before the mounting mechanism 200 mounts the N + 1 tunnel lining segment 400, the sinking machine performs sinking to form the interior cavity of the tunnel.

S60 — repeat the above steps S10 — S50 until the tunnel is completed.

After step S30 and before step S40, the safety pin 3 is removed so that the lifting member 2 and the support frame 1 are disengaged; for example, the safety pin 3 is pulled out to remove the safety pin 3 from the first pin hole in the support frame 1 and the second pin hole 112 in the lifting member 2, and therefore, the lifting member 2 can be pulled smoothly into the third predetermined position.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the support frame 1 is provided with telescopic elements 15, and after the telescopic elements 15 are retracted in step S20 to separate the support frame 1 from the N-1 of the tunnel lining segment 400, and in step S30, the lifting element 2 is pulled up to the first predetermined position, the telescopic elements 15 are pulled so that the support frame 1 supports the N-th segment of the tunnel lining 400 to align the shape of the tunnel.
