The invention discloses a muddy water circulating
system for a
shield tunneling machine. The muddy water circulating
system for the
shield tunneling machine comprises a main
slurry inlet pipeline anda main
slurry discharging pipeline, wherein the
tail end of the main
slurry discharging pipeline is communicated with a muddy water cabin slurry discharging
branch pipe and an
air cushion cabin slurrydischarging
branch pipe; both the muddy water cabin slurry discharging
branch pipe and the
air cushion cabin slurry discharging branch pipe are provided with valves; the elevation of the
tail end ofthe muddy water cabin slurry discharging branch pipe is higher than that of the
tail end of the
air cushion cabin slurry discharging branch pipe. The muddy water cabin slurry discharging branch pipe and the air
cushion cabin slurry discharging branch pipe can be opened separately. In a normal tunneling process, muddy water slurry is discharged through the air
cushion cabin slurry discharging branch pipe. When
discharge of
muck in a muddy water cabin is hindered, a slurry door is closed, the valve on the air
cushion cabin slurry discharging branch pipe is switched off while the valve on the muddy water cabin slurry discharging branch pipe is switched on, and the muddy water in the muddy water cabin is discharged directly through the muddy water cabin slurry discharging branch pipe, so thatthe slurry circulating strength in the muddy water cabin is enhanced, the residue carrying capability is enhanced, prevention of
muck discharge hindering is facilitated greatly, the slurry content ofthe muddy water cabin is lowered, and the probability of mud lining on a cutterhead is lowered.
