SHEEI 1 UF 2 TUNNELING SHIELDS BACKGROUND OF INVENTION This invention relates to a cutter shield, particularly a roof shield for use in driving tunnels and like underground excavations.
It is known to drive tunnelsusing machinery working beneath a tunneling shield which has an arched configuration and is supported at its sides through the intermediary of sliders or rollers on prefabricated abutments which constitute the side walls of the tunnel.
It would be advantageous to construct such a shield in the form of a cutter shield consisting of sharpfronted planks which are supported on pairs of supports, each pair being displaceable relative to the other and supporting some of the planks. With such a shield, retraction of rams interconnecting the pairs of supports advances one pair relative to the other and drives the planks carried by the said one pair of supports into the face. This pair of frames is then anchored and the rams extended to drive the other frames and the planks carried thereby into the face. However, in attempting to apply such an arrangement to a tunneling shield sliding or rolling on abutments-forming the side walls of the tunnel, I encountered a substantial problem, namely, that it is very difficult to ensure during working-that the pre-fabricated abutments are disposed in exactly parallel relationship at the correct distance apart. If the abutments are positioned too far apart, the seal between the sides of the shield and the abutments will be lost, whereas if the abutments are too close together, the shield will become jammed.
To overcome this problem, 1 construct each of the support frames for the planks in a number of parts or sections pivotal relative to one another. The lower ends of each frame are therefore relatively displaceable and are interconnected by an extensible strut or beam which sets the distance at which these ends are spaced. In the preferred embodiment, each frame unit consists of two sections which are articulated at the crest or peak of the shield so as to pivot about a longitudinal axis. In the general case, however, there may be more than two sections (e.g. three or four sections) thus, two side sections may be pivoted to a third or cross-piece section. The cross-strut may be in the form of a simple telescopically slidable unit, such as a fluid-operated ram, or it may be in the form of a beam having a piston and cylinder unit at each end, interconnecting the beam to a respective frame section. Preferably, the cylinder is a double acting cylinder, and the piston rod or cylinder, as the case may be, is articulated to the end of the frame section about a longitudinal axis.
The ends of the frame sections may be supported on sliding or rolling shoes or the like by way of piston and cylinder units which are inclined to each other, the shoes being supportable on the pre-fabricated abutments.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a cross-section through a tunnel showing 'two pre-fabricated abutments in place and a shield in accordance with the invention supported on them,
FIG. 2 is a longitudinal section through the shield shown in FIG. 1,
FIG. 3 is a top plan view showing one side of the supporting frame arrangement.
2 piscalprl'on F PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring to the drawings, a cutter shield comprises a number of sharp ended planks divided into two groups, 5, 6, alternate planks being in the same group, see particularly FIG. 2. The planks 5 are secured rigidly to forward and rearward frames 1, 2 while the planks 6 are secured to the forward and rearward frames 3, 4. Each frame is of two part construction, comprising sections (designated 1a, 1b; 2a, 2b; 3a, 3b; 4a, 412;) which are symmetrical (.when viewed longitudinally of the shield) about a horizontal longitudinally extending pivotll. i I
At each side of the shield is a pair of sliding shoes 10, one supporting sections of the frames 1, 2 and the other supporting sections of the frames 3, 4, The end of each frame section has a downwardly facing surface 7 between which and the associated shoe 10 are mounted two hydraulic rams 8, 9 which diverge in the upwards direction.
Projecting downwardly from each frame section on eachside ofthe surface 7 is a widened end portion, the two end portions of each section supporting a pivot pin 17 which passes through an eye in a head at the end of a piston rod 16 of a cylinder 13, which is set into the end of a tubular beam 12, interconnecting in this way the pair of sections (e.g. 1a, lb) of a support frame (e.g. 1). The cylinders 13 are double acting so that the strut or cross-brace which the cylinders and beam'form may, in effect, be shortened or lengthened to contract or'expand theshield, and move the shoes 10 towards or away from the centre line.
As can be seen from FIGS. 2 and 3, rams 19 extending parallel to the shield axis interconnect the frames 2 and 3 and, on retraction, will force the frames 1 and 2 forward, provided that the planks or shoes carried by the other frames are anchored in position. Likewise, on extension of these rams (assuming the planks or shoes of the frames 1 and 2 are now anchored), the frames 3 and 4 will be urged forward.
By adjusting the length of the strut or cross-brace 12, it is possible for variations in the spacing of the abutments 20, 21 to be compensated for within certain limits. In this way, the risk of the seal between the shield wall and abutments may be maintained while the risk of the shield being jammed between the abutments is avoided. Likewise, it is possible to adjust the width of the shield to take into account desired differences in the tunnel cross-section.
Although adjustments made during working cause an interruption in the continuous run of the roof arch, these variations are unimportant in practice both because they are small and because they are evened-out 'when a concrete lining is applied.
