The pins (20202) of the chain assembly (202) have their ends located in grooves of opposing U-shaped guide rail assemblies (20102), and are guided by guide seats (…). The chain assembly (202) slides along the guide rail assembly (20102) under the guiding function of 201. One end of the chain assembly (202) is vertically arranged from the outside of the drill pipe box (1) and rigidly fixed to the upper crossbeam (203) at its top. The other end of the chain assembly (202) is vertically arranged from the middle space of the drill pipe box (1) and rigidly fixed to the lower crossbeam (204) at its top. The two chain assemblies (202) are respectively connected to the two lifting cylinders (205).

6. The enclosed lifting automatic drill rod box for tunnel drilling rigs as described in claim 4, characterized in that, One end of the left and right lifting cylinders (205) is connected to the left and right guide seats (201), and the other end is connected to the left and right chain groups (202). Under the action of the left and right lifting cylinders (205), the left and right chain groups (202) slide along the guide rail group (20102) in the left and right guide seats (201), so that the upper crossbeam (203) rises vertically while the lower crossbeam (204) falls vertically, or the upper crossbeam (203) falls vertically while the lower crossbeam (204) rises vertically.

7. The enclosed lifting automatic drill rod box for tunnel drilling rigs as described in claim 1, characterized in that, The length of the upper crossbeam (203) is greater than the sum of the width of the drill pipe box (1) and twice the width of the chain group (202), and the length of the lower crossbeam (204) is less than the width of the space in the middle of the drill pipe box (1); the left and right lifting cylinders (205) are equipped with displacement sensors to detect the absolute elongation of the cylinders.

8. The enclosed lifting automatic drill rod box for tunnel drilling rigs as described in claim 1, characterized in that, The gripper (3) includes a gripper cylinder (301), a bearing (302), a gripper mounting base, and a proximity switch (304). One end of the gripper cylinder (301) is connected to the gripper mounting base, and the other end is connected to the bearing (302). The proximity switch (304) is installed inside the gripper mounting base and is used to detect whether there is a drill rod. Under the action of the gripper cylinder (301), the bearing (302) can clamp the drill rod.

9. The enclosed lifting automatic drill rod box for tunnel drilling rigs as described in claim 1, characterized in that, The sliding base (4) includes a drive motor (401), a gear (402), a rack (403), a guide rail (404), an upper seat (405), a lower seat (406), and an encoder (407). The drive motor (401) is bolted to the upper seat (405), and its output shaft is connected and fixed to the gear (402). There is a guide rail (404) on each side between the upper seat (405) and the lower seat (406), and a rack (403) is installed in the middle. The drive motor (401) drives the gear (402) to rotate, and under the action of the rack (403), it drives the upper seat (405) to slide along the guide rail (404), thereby realizing the movement of the closed robotic arm (2) and the gripper robotic hand (3). The encoder (407) is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor (401) and is used to measure the sliding position of the upper seat (405).

10. The control method for the enclosed lifting automatic drill rod box of the tunnel drilling rig according to any one of claims 1 to 9, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: Step 1: The lifting cylinder rises, at which point the upper crossbeam rises and the lower crossbeam falls. The drive motor reverses, and the gripping manipulator moves from the designated position to the working position, which is above the first row of drill pipes in the drill pipe chamber. Step 2: The lifting cylinder descends, the upper crossbeam descends and the lower crossbeam rises, the first row of drill rods is lifted as a whole, the proximity switch detects the approach of the drill rods, and at the same time the displacement sensor in the lifting cylinder detects that the distance between the upper and lower crossbeams has reached the requirement, and the first row of the first row of drill rods in the drill rod chamber is grabbed. Step 3: The lifting cylinder rises, the upper crossbeam rises, the lower crossbeam falls, and the remaining first row of drill rods is lowered as a whole and placed in the drill rod chamber. At the same time, the gripping manipulator grips the drill rods and, driven by the upper crossbeam, raises them to the highest point. Through the action of the lifting cylinder and the drive motor, the drill rods are transported to the designated position. Step 4: After placing the drill rod, the gripping robot moves to the first column of the drill rod compartment and waits. Once the drill rod in the designated position is removed, it continues to grip and place the drill rod in the designated position. Repeat the operation until all the drill rods in the first column are removed, then move to the second column of drill rods, and so on, until all the drill rods are removed. Step 5: Drill rod replenishment. Under the action of the lifting cylinder and drive motor, the drill rod at the replenishment position is grabbed and placed in the drill rod chamber; Drill rod return. Under the action of the lifting cylinder and drive motor, the drill rod at the designated position is grabbed and placed in the drill rod chamber.
