Principle and Application of Hydraulic System of Slurry Balance Shield Machine
Analyzing the mud-water balance shield machine from the perspective of the principle and applica-tion of the hydraulic system.The function and components of the shield machine's hydraulic system are intro-duced.The basic principle is to pump mud into the mud chamber,and the hydraulic system provides power for propulsion,assembly,grouting,and other parts.The excavated face is stabilized by cutting soil and debris with the cutterhead,based on the principle of mud-water balance.The main characteristics of the mud-water balance shield machine are analyzed,and the working principle is explained using the propulsion system as an example.Finally,the application of the mud-water balance shield machine is discussed in the context of the Pearl River Delta water conservancy project.
