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.
