[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization, construction and infrastructure projects are increasingly dependent on underground space. Traditional underground construction methods, such as manual excavation and cable laying, have problems such as long construction period, low efficiency, high labor intensity and potential safety hazards. Especially in densely populated urban areas, these traditional methods not only affect the lives of residents, but also easily cause environmental pollution. Therefore, it is imperative to develop an efficient, intelligent and automated excavation and cable laying robot to solve the problem of underground excavation and cable laying.

[0005] Furthermore, the cutting tool is designed as a modular structure to facilitate replacement and maintenance.

[0006] Furthermore, the three-way support plate is made up of one-third of a circular arc plate, so that there is no gap when it is retracted, thus preventing mud from collapsing into key parts of the robot and affecting performance.

[0007] Furthermore, spring adaptive devices are installed on both sides of the guide wheel axle to protect the guide wheel from damage when the robot is excavating in a hard geological environment.

[0008] Furthermore, the support plate of the support device is processed with a knurled pattern to increase the friction between the support plate and the pipe hole, thereby preventing the robot from slipping during underground excavation.

[0009] Furthermore, a spring adaptive device is provided on the connecting rod arm, and when the three supports are opened, the opening and closing range of the three-way support plate can be adjusted according to the hardness of the soil.
