Abstract:As the key equipment in modern tunnel construction and underground engineering, the technology of cantilever boring machine is also constantly innovating to adapt to more complex and diversified geological conditions. However, due to the uncertainty of geological environment and the limitations of the equipment itself, the cantilever boring machine still faces many challenges in practical application. In this paper, the mechanical mining test of cantilever boring machine is carried out according to the actual situation of mine. Firstly, the cuttability of rock mass is studied, which is used to guide the selection of mechanical mining equipment of cantilever boring machine. Then the field industrial test is carried out, the test results are analyzed and discussed, and the analysis results of technical and economic indicators of mechanical mining test of cantilever boring machine are formed. The research results can provide useful reference for the practical application of similar ore bodies and promote the technical progress in the field of mechanical mining.
