Abstract

Abstract

During long-distance hard rock tunneling with TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine), cutter wear is inevitable. Timely assessment of cutter wear status is critical for reducing tool consumption and improving TBM construction efficiency. Based on the field application of a cutting tool condition monitoring system installed on a TBM in the Inner Mongolia Chaoer River to Xiliao River water conveyance project, this study achieved real-time acquisition of cutter wear data. By analyzing the full-life service process of individual cutters under normal wear mechanisms and the evolution pattern of rock-breaking volume wear rates, four distinct wear stages were identified: accelerated wear stage, decelerated wear stage, stable wear stage, and secondary decelerated wear stage. Through comparative analysis of monitoring data characteristics under normal and abnormal wear conditions, an abnormal wear judgment method was proposed based on fluctuations in cumulative wear volume and temperature differences between adjacent cutters. The research provides practical references for evaluating cutter wear status in hard rock formations and optimizing cutter replacement strategies in TBM projects.
