description The raise boring machine, which plays a crucial role in wellbore construction, has been widely applied in subway tunnels and mine construction projects. High levels of quality and safety, make it recognized and promoted by an increasing number of users. The tipped hob as a rock-breaking cutter of the raise boring machine poses a direct influence on the efficiency of the well-bore construction. In this paper, the finite element software LS-DYNA is employed to establish the model of the crushed rock with the tipped hob, and the accuracy of the model is examined by experiments. On this basis, the variation laws and correlations of feed force, lateral force and positive force under different penetration depths are studied. The results show that as the penetration depth increases, the feed force, lateral force and positive force all grow exponentially. In the geological environment with high rock hardness, spherical tooth can effectively reduce cutter wear and conical tooth can achieve higher crushing ability. The research results provide a theoretical basis for the selection of a suitable tipped hob to improve rock breaking efficiency.
