Preferably, the grabbing power member 334 is a telescopic oil cylinder. When the grabbing head 333 is connected to the assembly hole of the tunnel segment 50, the grabbing head 333 and the tunnel segment 50 are spirally connected. After the grabbing head 333 completes the connection, the grabbing power member 334 retracts to drive the grabbing head 333 to move, so that the surface of the tunnel segment 50 and the grabbing box mechanism 332 fit closely, and the tunnel segment 50 is not displaced or deformed during the assembly process. Optionally, a grabbing sleeve is connected between the grabbing head 333 and the grabbing power member 334, and the grabbing head 333 is plugged and movably connected to the grabbing sleeve.

The wire-taking mechanism 60 guides the pipeline to be tightened and arranged in the wiring groove 12, and the pipeline is connected to the grasping device 30 and the horizontal guide assembly 20. The wire-taking mechanism 60 drives the cables and hydraulic oil pipes to be tightened and extended, thereby reducing the discreteness of the cables. Among them, part of the pipeline is tightened and arranged in the wiring groove 12, and then extends out of the wiring groove 12 at the corresponding position and is connected to the corresponding hydraulic cylinder or electrical component, thereby shortening the length of the distance from the pipeline to the wiring groove 12.

[0051] Preferably, the wire take-up mechanism 60 comprises an automatic reel mounted on the mounting flange 11, and the reserved length of the cable is coiled on the automatic reel in advance to form a tensioning and releasing structure. The automatic reel can be set as a motor-driven reel or loaded with a winding spring.

[0052] Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate other embodiments of the present invention after considering the specification and practicing the disclosure disclosed herein. This application is intended to cover any variations, uses or adaptations of the present invention that follow the general principles of the present invention and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art that are not disclosed by the present invention. The description and examples are to be considered exemplary only, and the true scope and spirit of the present invention are indicated by the following claims.

[0053] It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the exact construction that has been described above and shown in the drawings and that various modifications and changes may be made without departing from the scope thereof. The scope of the present invention is limited only by the appended claims.
