Abstract:
An auxiliary tunneling apparatus includes a reaction force receiver and first and second split components. In the excavation of a second tunnel by a boring machine, the reaction force receiver forms a replacement face of a side wall of the second tunnel on a first tunnel side where the first and second tunnels intersect each other, and a gripper of the boring machine pushes against the replacement face. The first and second split components are installed to push against the side wall of the first tunnel, support the reaction force receiver within the first tunnel, and move back and forth with respect to the side wall of the first tunnel.
Abstract:
A mine scaling tool having a base plate to which a collar is concentrically attached on one side and appropriately supported with gusseted rib plates. A relatively long, heavy walled tube is telescopically fitted within a reenforcing collar. The tube is cut at an oblique angle of approximately 15 degrees off vertical in the frontal plane at the end opposite the collar. A face plate is centrally positioned over the open end of the tube and adequately reenforced with gusseted rib plates and reenforcing bars. Picks are attached parallel to the face plate along all sides extending outwardly from the edges, thereby serving as tines.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a support method of preset internal cable for in-situ tunnel expansion project, comprising a cable, lockset and an anchoring agent, wherein before the excavation of the newly-built tunnel, a borehole is drilled into the surrounding rock from the in-situ tunnel, and the cable is installed in the borehole and pre-stressed, so as to play a supporting role at the moment of excavation of the newly-built tunnel. The cable is fixed in the depth of the surrounding rock by the anchoring agent, and the lockset of the cable is set at the position of the excavation contour line of the newly-built tunnel inside the surrounding rock. The present invention provides a method that does not interfere with the excavation construction and can effectively support the surrounding rock of the expanded tunnel in advance. It breaks through the “excavation first and then supports” model in the previous tunnel construction, and uses the space of the in-situ tunnel for pre-support, and by applying prestress, the deformation of surrounding rock can be controlled to the maximum extent.
Abstract:
A hard rock trench cutting machine includes a main body assembly, a cutter wheel assembly, and a longitudinal thrust assembly. The main body assembly includes two longitudinally extending cantilever support booms each having a forward portion and a rearward portion. The rearward portions of the support booms are connected to four side wall support feet which move laterally relative to the support booms between a retracted position and an extended position. The cutter wheel assembly includes a cutter wheel frame slidably disposed on the forward portion of the support booms. A cutter wheel drum carrying a plurality of roller cutters is rotatably carried by the cutter wheel frame for rotation about an axis. The longitudinal thrust assembly extends between the main body assembly and the cutter wheel assembly for pushing the roller cutters against the trench end face.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to gate road dinting equipment comprising a rapidly advancing coal mining face and a gate road conveyer consolidated in such a manner that a dinting machine of the ranging type is set in place on a skid with a charge conveyer fixed thereon for removing a floor by a cutting drum of the dinting machine and for adjusting the height of the charge conveyer properly, so that a proper excavation height can be maintained for a discharge conveyer and face equipment as well.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a tunneling methods and, particularly to installing an internal or external pre-support member along with a post support member and an apparatus therefor. The tunneling method includes: excavating a pilot tunnel in a main tunnel to be built; radially forming a drilled hole from an excavation surface of the pilot tunnel to a tip end of an internal pre-support member of the main tunnel at locations in the pilot tunnel; inserting the internal pre-support member into the drilled hole, and conducting grouting and fixing the internal pre-support member; excavating the tunnel along an excavation line of the main tunnel and spraying shotcrete to an excavation surface of the main tunnel; installing a post-support member between internal pre-support members in the excavation surface of the main tunnel; and connecting the internal pre-support member and the post-support member with a plate type support member.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus for soil disturbance at the back of a shield tunnel, wherein: the apparatus is formed by a fitting I and a fitting II connected by means of three bolts that form equal angles; the fitting I is a short circular pipe; an end surface of a fitting end of the fitting I is provided with a water passage; a pipe wall of the pipe is provided with 2-8 water spouts; the fitting II is a long circular pipe whose inner and outer diameters are consistent with those of the fitting I; a fitting end of the fitting II is provided with two O-shaped water stop rings; a pipe wall of the fitting II is provided with three water inlets that form equal angles and are in communication with the water passage of the fitting I.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for constructing an enlarged tunnel in a portion of a predetermined region of an existing tunnel. A circumferentially enlarged portion is excavated to define a starting base for a shield machine. The shield machine is positioned in the circumferentially enlarged portion and advanced forward along the existing tunnel in order to enlarge the circumference in the predetermined region of the existing tunnel. A section of a tubular liner lining the existing tunnel is broken and removed therefrom. Thereafter, the resultant enlarged tunnel portion is lined with segments.
