The traditional
shaft construction has many disadvantages, such as a low degree of mechanization,
high manpower consumption, and high risk. As a result, a caisson submerged
shaft boring machine is created. With high automation and efficiency, the
boring machine can perform simultaneous excavation, mucking, and support
operations. Some related structural research regarding the caisson submerged
shaft boring machine is conducted as follows: (1) The structure and working
principle of the shaft boring machine are systematically explained. (2)The
mechanical and kinematic characteristics of the working device are analyzed,
and a simple model of its kinematics analysis is constructed. (3) The static
strength of the key components is analyzed using the finite element method, and
the corresponding nephograms of stress and deformation are obtained, verifying
that the key components’ strength and stiffness meet the
design requirements. (4) Its key components and positions are subjected to
kinematic and dynamic analyses using virtual prototype technology, yielding
displacement and force curves. The results show that the structural design, the
mechanical property, and the kinematics analysis of the machine are reasonable,
and the finite element method and the virtual prototype techniques are
feasible.
