[0038] As Figure 3 shown, the joint connector 3 includes a channel-shaped part 31 and a plug plate 32; the plug plate 32 is vertically fixed in the middle of the channel-shaped part 31 and is inserted into the joint 2. The channel-shaped part 31 includes a middle bottom part 311 and side edge parts 312 on both sides; the middle bottom part 311 is located inside the inner circle of the adjacent steel arch segments 1.

[0039] As Figures 4-5 shown, the side edge parts 312 are in a straight state in the first state and are located on both sides of the steel arch segments 1.

[0040] As Figure 6 shown, at least one side of the side edge parts 312 is bent inward in the second state to form a bent locking part 313, which is locked and fixed with the steel arch segments 1.

[0041] In one of the preferred embodiments, in the joint 2, the plug plate 32 and the steel arch segments 1 on both sides are in an interference fit.

[0042] In one of the preferred embodiments, both side edge parts 312 on both sides have bent locking parts 313 in the second state.

[0043] In one of the preferred embodiments, the steel arch segments 1 are I-beams.

[0045] In one of the preferred embodiments, the steel arch segments 1 are circular steel pipes.

[0046] In one preferred embodiment, the trough-shaped part 31 is a channel steel, and the bent locking part 313 clamps the circular steel pipe of the steel arch frame segment 1.

[0047] In one preferred embodiment, the range where the trough-shaped part 31 clamps the circular steel pipe of the steel arch frame segment 1 is greater than 180°.

[0048] In one preferred embodiment, the inverted arch 4 at the lower part has the same structure as the steel arch frame segment 1.

[0049] The present invention also provides an assembly method for the assembled arch support structure for mine tunnels as described above, including the following steps:

[0050] S1. Conduct a force analysis according to the size of the tunnel, determine the type, size and number of segments of the steel arch frame; generally, I-beams can be selected, or channel steels or circular steel pipes can also be selected, and the steel arch frame ring segments are prefabricated by a factory.

[0051] S2. Generally, the arch frame can be divided into 4 to 8 segments. Use the robotic arm on the mobile platform to erect the steel arch frame segment 1, bring two adjacent steel arch frame segments 1 close to each other, reserve the joint 2, and use the robotic arm to wedge the insertion plate 32 of the joint connector 3 into the interference joint 2.
