[0002] With the expansion of coal mining operations, the demand for underground pipelines for water supply and drainage, slurry discharge, ventilation, and gas removal has increased. Furthermore, the variety of pipeline types and specifications makes installation and laying difficult. Currently, pipeline installation mainly relies on manual handling, where pipes are manually lifted onto side wall beams or brackets for installation. Because the weight of the pipelines ranges from tens to hundreds of kilograms, the labor intensity is high, the entire pipeline installation process is inefficient, and there are safety hazards.
[0003] Most existing pipeline lifting vehicles and pipeline installation vehicles are only suitable for pipeline installation in main roadways, where the space is large enough to facilitate mechanized equipment operations. However, pipelines in tunneling faces are usually arranged on one side of the belt conveyor, where the space is relatively small, and conventional pipeline installation equipment cannot perform pipeline installation operations in tunneling faces.

[0028] Therefore, the robot for pipeline installation in tunneling faces provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0029] (1) By setting up a pipeline compartment on the robot's walking chassis, the pipeline to be installed is placed in the pipeline compartment. After loading, the robot goes down into the well. During the pipeline installation stage, the robot can grab the pipeline from the pipeline compartment through the pipeline grabbing device and install the pipeline, which effectively reduces the configuration requirements of special transportation equipment in the downhole operation system.
[0030] (2) By installing two pipe clamping cylinders inside the pipe compartment, the two pipe clamping cylinders push in opposite directions, respectively driving the two pipe partition plates to move in opposite directions, thereby clamping the pipes placed in the pipe compartment and preventing the pipes from moving or falling out of the pipe compartment during transportation.
[0031] (3) By setting up a multi-functional mechanical claw to grip the pipeline, three pipelines can be gripped at once, which greatly improves the pipeline installation efficiency. At the same time, under the action of the first and second lateral push cylinders, the distance between the first and second side claws can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the distance of the gripped pipelines and improving the applicability of the multi-functional mechanical claw.
[0032] (4) By setting up pipeline compartment monitoring cameras and roadway side monitoring cameras, the pipeline color and pipeline location can be automatically identified, which facilitates the grabbing and installation of the pipeline grabbing device.
[0033] (5) The claw clamping cylinder is arranged longitudinally to achieve the lateral clamping of the first side claw, the second side claw and the middle claw, which reduces the size of the mechanical claw. At the same time, the rotation center of the multi-functional mechanical claw is set in an offset manner, so that the mechanical claw can extend into the gap between the belt conveyor and the side support, and realize the installation of pipelines in the narrow gap.

The first side gripper 405, the second side gripper 406, and the middle gripper 407 are all located below the mechanical gripper connecting plate 401. The mechanical gripper connecting plate 401 is fixedly connected to the fourth rotary drive mechanism 12.
[0060] One end of the first transverse pushing cylinder 403 and the second transverse pushing cylinder 404 are fixed to the middle jaw 407, and the other end is fixedly connected to the first side jaw 405 and the second side jaw 406 respectively. One end of the fixed slider 408 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mechanical jaw connecting plate 401, and the other end is slidably connected to the side jaw transverse sliding rail 402.
[0061] The side claw transverse slide rail 402 includes a first slide rail 4021, a second slide rail 4022, a third slide rail 4023 and a fourth slide rail 4024. The first slide rail 4021 and the fourth slide rail 4024 are a group, and one end of each is fixed to the upper two ends of the first side claw 405.

[0062] The middle jaw 407 is fixedly connected to the mechanical jaw connecting plate 401 via the middle jaw fixing plate 19.
[0063] The multifunctional mechanical claw 4 in this embodiment of the invention can grasp three pipes at a time, improving work efficiency by 300% compared to traditional single-pipe operations. Furthermore, under the push of the first lateral pushing cylinder 403 and the second lateral pushing cylinder 404, the distance between the first side claw 405 and the second side claw 406 is adjusted to achieve the desired pipe spacing. For example, if the pipe compartment contains pipes with a diameter of 280mm and the center-to-center distance between adjacent pipes in the compartment is 140mm, when grasping the pipes in the compartment, the distance between the first side claw 405 and the second side claw 406 is 208mm. However, since the pipe supports on the mounting side are spaced 300mm apart, the first lateral pushing cylinder 403 and the second lateral pushing cylinder 404 need to be activated to adjust the distance between the first side claw 405 and the second side claw 406 to 600mm, i.e., the center-to-center distance between adjacent pipes is 300mm.
[0064] The first side claw 405 includes a first claw piece 20, a second claw piece 21, a side claw base plate 22, a claw piece clamping cylinder 23, and a slider seat 24. The first claw piece 20 and the second claw piece 21 are both connected to the slider seat 24. The slider seat 24 and the claw piece clamping cylinder 23 are both mounted on the side claw base plate 22. One end of the claw piece clamping cylinder 23 is fixedly connected to the side claw base plate 22, and the other end is connected to the push rod 27. The push rod 27 passes through the interior of the slider seat 24 and is slidably connected to the slider seat 24. A pin 25 is provided on the push rod 27. The first claw piece 20 and the second claw piece 21 are both provided with claw piece oblique holes 26. The pin 25 is engaged with the claw piece oblique holes 26. The claw clamping cylinder 23 drives the pin 25 on the push rod 27 to move longitudinally along the interior of the slider seat 24. Because the pin 25 on the push rod 27 contacts the claw oblique hole 26, the pin 25 slides within the claw oblique hole 26, causing the first side claw 405 and the second side claw 406 to move to both sides under the action of the pin 25. The second side claw 406 and the middle claw 407 have the same structure as the first side claw 405. In this embodiment of the invention, the first side claw 405, the second side claw 406, and the middle claw 407 achieve the lateral clamping action of the claw by longitudinally arranging the claw clamping cylinder 23.
[0065] Figure 9 This is a working diagram of a robot for installing pipelines in a tunneling face according to an embodiment of the present invention. A belt conveyor 29 is provided between the side wall 28 and the robot. A lower pipeline support 30 and a top pipeline support 31 are provided on the side wall 28. The gap between the side wall 28 and the belt conveyor 29 is small. Traditional mechanical claws cannot lift the pipeline to this position. Because the rotation center of the multi-functional mechanical claw 4 is set in an offset manner, the multi-functional mechanical claw 4 can extend to the lower lower pipeline support 30 on the side closer to the belt conveyor 29.
[0066] The implementation process of a robot for pipeline installation in a tunneling face using the above-described structure is as follows:
[0067] S1. The robot loads the pipeline from the ground, and the pipeline is placed in the pipeline compartment by a person or a pipeline gripping robotic arm.
[0068] S2. The robot transports the pipeline to the location downhole where it needs to be installed, and its support legs extend, ready for pipeline installation.
[0069] S3. The robot uses the side-mounted monitoring camera in the alleyway to identify the installation status of pipelines on both sides of the alleyway and determine the color and location of the pipelines to be installed.
[0070] S4. The pipeline compartment monitoring camera identifies the location of the pipeline of the required installation color, and then controls the multi-functional mechanical claw to grab the pipeline in a top-down and left-to-right sequence, adjusting the distance between the first and second side claws.
[0071] S5. Control the pipeline gripping robotic arm to place the pipeline on the pipeline installation bracket in the roadway, control the operating platform to move to the corresponding position, and manually assist in completing the pipeline connection.
[0072] S6. Repeat S2-S5 until all pipes in the pipe compartment are installed.
[0073] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, and these modifications or equivalent substitutions cannot cause the modified technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
