Abstract：With the deepening and complexification of coal mine exploitation in China,the traditional drilling and blasting method for roadway excavation is no longer able to meet the demands of high effi-ciency and safety.Tunnel boring machines(TBM)have gradually become an important technical means for mine roadway excavation due to their advantages of high efficiency,environmental friendli-ness,and safety.This paper systematically analyzes the application status of TBM in mine roadway excavation in China,summarizes existing technical achievements and existing problems,and prospects for future development trends.TBM has achieved remarkable results in mine roadway exca-vation,but still faces challenges such as insufficient adaptability to complex geological conditions,lack of equipment standardization,conflicts between tunneling and drilling construction,and difficul-ties in assembly and dismantling.To address these issues,this paper introduces the future develop-ment trends of mine TBM from three aspects:complete sets of equipment for mine TBM operation lines,tunneling while prospecting technology,and intelligent control of tunneling parameters.The re-search results obtained in this paper provide a clear direction for further expanding the applicable scope of mine TBM and improving the construction efficiency of TBM in mine roadway excavation.
