The invention discloses an unfoldable cylindrical lattice shell structure with six rigid plate folding units. The unfoldable cylindrical structure is composed of multiple truss folding arch units which are connected in the length direction; each truss folding arch unit is provided with a rigid roof plate unit system; a rigid roof plate unit is arranged on two adjacent rectangular pyramid basic units in the folding arch unit; each rigid roof plate unit consists of six triangular plates and is rectangular after being unfolded, every two of the six triangular plates are collinear and intersect at one vertex, and according to anticlockwise direction, the six triangular plates are respectively a first triangular plate, a second triangular plate, a third triangular plate, a fourth triangular plate, a fifth triangular plate and a sixth triangular plate. Compared with the existing structure, the unfoldable cylindrical lattice shell structure can be unfolded and folded according to needs, and is convenient in unfolding and folding process and good in structural stability; by virtue of the rigid roof structure, the unfoldable cylindrical lattice shell structure is relatively light in self weight, flexible to unfold and fold, the structure rigidity is increased, and the unfoldable cylindrical lattice shell structure is simple in structure construction and convenient in design and construction, and is especially suitable for medium and small span buildings.
