Design and Simulation of the Hydraulic System for the Disc Cutter of the Rock Hob Test-Bed

Abstract:

Rock tunnel boring machine is one of the main machineries and equipments for underground engineering, and the failure of its disc cutter is the main failure form of this machinery. The experiment on the failure and wear of the disc cutter is difficult. In this paper, a rock hob test-bed is designed, and the hydraulic-driven system of its disc cutter of rock hob test-bed is simulated; the effect of load and flow rate of hydraulic oil in this hydraulic system on characteristics of this disc cutter system is analyzed. The results show that the vertical movement speed of disc cutter is directly proportional to the flow rate; the effect of the load on this speed and the vertical pressure can be ignored; the delay time of the movement of the disc cutter to the flow rate of hydraulic oil is proportional to the load. These results are very helpful to the structure optimization of disc cutter system of rock tunnel boring machine and the improvement of working efficiency.
