Abstract:The application of super-large diameter slurry shield machines in the construction of urban traffic tunnels in China is constantly increasing. However, this brings about unfavorable factors such as uneven hardness of the face, wear of the cutter head, and significant vibration of the cutter head, and it is highly likely to cause slurry leakage in the central cone of the shield machine, making it impossible to carry out the normal pressure tool changing operations, thereby restricting the subsequent normal tunneling of the shield machine. To solve this problem, taking a super-large diameter shield tunnel project in Guangzhou as an example, the reasons for slurry leakage in the central cone of the shield machine caused by the retraction of the roller cutter barrel, the retraction of the cutter barrel, and the detachment or damage of the central cone pipe are analyzed and discussed. Then, the connection between the shuttle cabin and the supporting tooling and the central cone is introduced in detail, and the safety, reliability and efficiency of the pressurized feeding technology for the treatment of the slurry leakage in the central cone should be ensured. The above contents can be used as the corresponding technical references for similar construction cases.
