The invention discloses a geomechnical 
model test complex structure cavern group excavating positioning device and method. The geomechnical 
model test complex structure cavern group excavating positioning method comprises the main steps that (1) an excavation 
initial point is positioned, specifically, through transverse and vertical positioning groove holes in excavation positioning plates, the position of a 
tool bit of an excavation device is accurately and finely adjusted, and positioning of the excavation 
initial point is completed; (2), the excavation orientation is positioned, specifically, through combination of a 
total station and 
software, the excavation orientation is determined, by adjusting foot screws on the excavation positioning plates, the orientation of the exaction deviceis accurately adjusted, and positioning of the excavation orientation is completed; and (3), deviation rectifying monitoring is conducted in the excavation process, specifically, after excavation positioning is completed, the position and angle of the 
total station are kept to be unchanged, andthe deviation of the excavation orientation is monitored in real time through a 
laser indicator lamp of the 
total station, and rectified in time. The geomechnical 
model test complex structure cavern group excavating positioning device and method have the following advantages that (1) the excavation positioning accuracy is high; (2) operation is easy and convenient, and disturbance to a model frame is small; and (3) the excavation orientation can be monitored in real time and rectified in time in theexcavation process.
