Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of tunnel steel arch frame processing, and more specifically, relates to an automatic displacement device for tunnel steel arch frame after cold bending. Background Art

[0002] In tunnel construction, steel arches serve as the primary support structure, and their quality and installation efficiency are directly related to the safety and progress of tunnel construction. Currently, on tunnel steel arch production lines, cold-bent I-beams are typically transferred manually or semi-automatically. Manual handling: Workers use lifting equipment to remove the cold-bent I-beams from the cold bending machine and then transport them to the next processing equipment. This method is not only labor-intensive but also inefficient. Human factors can easily cause problems such as bumps and deformation of the I-beams, affecting product quality. Semi-automatic transfer devices: Some production lines use simple transfer devices such as roller conveyors and chain conveyors. However, these devices only enable linear transport of I-beams and cannot meet complex process requirements such as clamping and position adjustment of the I-beams. Manual intervention is still required for processing steps that require precise positioning of the I-beams or coordination with other equipment.

[0003] The existing transfer method makes it difficult to achieve full automation of tunnel steel arch production, resulting in limited production efficiency and an inability to meet the demand for fast and efficient supply of steel arches in modern tunnel construction. Traditional clamping devices are prone to problems such as loose clamping and sliding of I-beams when clamping cold-bent I-beams. The clamping effect is even worse when there is oil, rust or slight deformation on the surface of the I-beams. Due to the diversity and complexity of tunnel projects, the specifications of the required I-beams vary. Existing transfer devices are often only able to accommodate I-beams of specific specifications. When the size of the I-beams changes, the device needs to be complexly adjusted or even some components need to be replaced, which increases production costs and the difficulty of equipment maintenance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides an automatic displacement device for cold-bent tunnel steel arches. This device automatically clamps and stably transports cold-bent I-beams, and can accommodate I-beams of varying specifications.
