Inventor
Earth pressure balance, or EPB, is a mechanised tunneling method in which the excavated material is used to support the tunnel face whilst it is being plasticised using foams/slurry & other additives to make it transportable and impermeable. The spoil is admitted into the tunnel boring machine (TBM) via a screw conveyor (cochlea) arrangement which allows the pressure at the face of the TBM to remain balanced without the use of slurry.

The invention discloses a device judging whether or not an earth pressure balance shield earth chamber is full. The device comprises a pressure detector disposed on the upper portion of a front shield earth chamber of the earth pressure balance shield; the signal output end of a pressure sensor is connected with an upper computer; the upper computer judges whether or not the chamber is full; if not, a warning signal is sent to an alarm unit. The device has the advantages that whether or not the earth chamber is full can be judged anytime during earth pressure balance shield tunneling, full-chamber shield tunneling can be ensured and the application of full-chamber tunneling decreases the danger of collapse ahead.
