The invention relates to an indoor
model test device capable of simulating
slurry balance shield construction and a use method thereof. The indoor
model test device comprises a digging propulsion mechanism, a circulation mechanism and a
slurry injection mechanism, wherein the digging propulsion mechanism comprises an
electric motor, a speed
reducer, a shield shell, a main shaft and a rotary
pipe, the circulation mechanism comprises a circulation tank, a micro water pump, a water inlet
pipe, a mud outlet
pipe and a pressure regulating pipe, and the
slurry injection mechanism comprises a slurry injection tank, a slurry tank, a mini compressor, a
pneumatic pressure tube, a slurry injection pipe and a slurry injection head. Compared with the prior art, the indoor
model test device has the advantages that a whole construction process, such as dynamic digging propulsion, pipe sheet
assembly and wall back grouting, of a slurry balance shield construction
machine can be simulated, more accurate and real experimental data can be provided for the design of all parameters for actual
shield tunneling construction, and the safety during actual construction is guaranteed.
