[0002] With the continuous acceleration of infrastructure construction in my country, the country's investment in various types of infrastructure has continued to increase. In particular, in the construction of key projects such as high-grade highways, high-speed railways, urban integrated pipelines and urban rail transit, tunnel projects, as a key component, are increasing year by year. These tunnel projects are not only huge in number, but also often pass through complex and changeable geological environments. Therefore, in the construction process of tunnel projects, scientific and effective support measures must be taken to ensure the stability of the tunnel structure and the safety of the overall construction in view of the particularity of different types of bedrock geological conditions. As one of the core support structures in tunnel construction, the steel arch frame bears important bearing and protection functions, and plays an irreplaceable role in preventing deformation of the tunnel surrounding rock and ensuring construction safety and progress.

[0003] However, the traditional processing method of steel arches is highly dependent on manual operation, and a large amount of manual intervention is required in each link from material preparation to finished product assembly. This processing mode is not only inefficient in production, but also severely restricted by subjective factors such as the operator's proficiency and the number of laborers. In actual operation, it is often difficult to accurately control the dimensional accuracy, assembly angle and welding quality of the steel arch, which affects the support effect and even leaves safety hazards. In addition, the processing of steel arches involves a series of high-risk processes such as cutting, bending, and welding. These processes are not only labor-intensive, but also very likely to cause work-related accidents, posing a serious threat to the life safety and physical health of operators.

[0069] The processing operation flow of this system: The raw I-beams to be processed are placed in bundles on the raw material rack. The image shooting device on the camera frame scans and identifies the positions. The feeding robotic arm 101 sends a signal to the PLC control system according to the position data of the I-beams transmitted by the image shooting device. Then, the motor on the feeding robotic arm 101 moves forward and backward, and after running to the positioned position, the electric hoist drives the grasping mechanism to move up and down. There is a blowing device at the end of the grasping mechanism, which can blow off the floating dust on the surface of the I-beams. Then, the power-off type electromagnet attracts and lifts the workpiece. The power-off type electromagnet has magnetism when powered off, avoiding the I-beams falling due to equipment power-off and causing safety accidents. The feeding robotic arm 101 transports the lifted workpiece forward to the cutting movable frame 202. There is a motor on the cutting movable frame 202 driving a chain to make the rollers on the cutting movable frame 202 transport the I-beams forward and backward. There is a head trimming sawing device 201 at each end of the cutting movable frame 202. The head trimming sawing device 201 is equipped with positioning and sawing functions, which can cut off the burrs on the end face of the I-beam raw material to ensure the stability of subsequent welding. After the sawing device trims one end, the cutting movable frame 202 transports the I-beam to the other end, and then realizes the head trimming treatment of the other end. After both ends are trimmed, the transfer rack assembly 13 lifts and transfers it to the continuous welding conveyor rack 403. The continuous welding conveyor rack 403 transports forward, and transports the I-beam to the position of the continuous welding fixed frame 401. The continuous welding fixed frame 401 is equipped with a positioning mechanism, a clamping mechanism, and a detection mechanism. When the tail material of the previous workpiece is transmitted to the detection mechanism, the detection mechanism detects no material, then the front clamping mechanism clamps the previous I-beam, and the subsequent continuous welding conveyor rack 403 transports the next workpiece forward. After being transmitted to the detection switch, the clamping mechanism clamps the subsequent I-beam. Then, the two continuous welding robots 402 start welding at the butt joint of the I-beam. After welding is completed, the clamping mechanism loosens, and the rotary cold bending machine 501 continues to transport the I-beam forward. After being transported to the required size of the workpiece, the cold cutting sawing machine 502 cuts off the workpiece. If it is necessary to cut holes in the web of the I-beam, the plasma cutting robot automatically cuts the holes. The cut workpiece is automatically adjusted in angle and position by the rotary transfer assembly 6. After adjusting the position, the clamping cylinder 604 of the rotary transfer assembly 6 loosens the workpiece, and the electric rollers 706 automatically transport the workpiece left and right. After being transported to the end positioning baffle 703, the detection switch on the end positioning baffle 703 controls the lowering of the roller lifting frame 705 to drop the workpiece onto the adjustable-width chain conveyor rack 702. The adjustable-width chain conveyor rack 702 moves the workpiece forward and backward. The two adjustable-width chain conveyor racks 702 can be controlled separately. Each adjustable-width chain conveyor rack 702 is equipped with two detection switches. The first detection switch is a deceleration signal, and the second detection switch is a signal for stopping in place. After the I-beam transportation stops, the centering baffles on both sides align it, and then the adjustable-width chain conveyor rack 702 continues to transport the workpiece forward to the end plate welding assembly 8. After being transported to the first welding station, the workpiece is positioned by the stop bar 803 and the clamping mechanism 804. While transporting the workpiece,The connecting plate handling robot 805 grabs the connecting plate from the stop plate conveying rack 903 and then places it on the positioning mechanism for precise positioning. The camera on the connecting plate welding robot 806 at the first station takes a photo of the workpiece end face. After identifying the workpiece position, it transmits the data to the connecting plate handling robot 805. Then the connecting plate handling robot 805 grabs the connecting plate and places it on the end face of the I-beam. The connecting plate welding robot 806 spot-welds, and the connecting plate handling robot 805 moves away. The connecting plate welding robot 806 at the first station completes the welding of the welds that need to be welded above. Then the stop bar 803 and the clamping mechanism 804 move downward, and the adjustable-width chain conveying rack 702 conveys the workpiece of the welded semi-finished product forward. After being conveyed to the turnover positioner 802, the turnover positioner 802 lifts the workpiece and then rotates it 180°, so that the weld that was not welded just now is on the top. Then the image capturing device carried by the robot at the second station automatically takes a photo to identify the weld position. At the same time, the next workpiece repeats the previous actions and is conveyed to the first station, which can satisfy the first and second stations, and four connecting plate welding robots 806 weld simultaneously. After welding is completed, the turnover positioner 802 places the welded workpiece with the arch facing upward. The cantilever beam 1004 automatically moves back and forth to the C-shaped opening position of the turnover positioner 802 to automatically grab the finished workpiece, places the finished workpiece on the finished product storage rack 11, and waits for five workpieces to be welded. Then the worker transports the finished products away for subsequent processing. At the same time, the stop plate laser cutting machine 901 places the raw material steel plate in the processing area and automatically cuts it into the required connecting plates. After all cutting is completed, the stop plate transfer manipulator 902 automatically grabs the cut connecting plates and places them in the stop plate storage bin 904. After all the connecting plates are placed in the stop plate storage bin 904, the stop plate transfer manipulator 902 automatically places the connecting plates that need to be welded on the stop plate conveying rack 903. The stop plate conveying rack 903 automatically conveys the connecting plates. When it reaches the corner, the pusher cylinder pushes the connecting plates onto the stop plate conveying rack 903 in the vertical direction. Then the connecting plates are conveyed forward along the stop plate conveying rack 903. When it reaches the positioning plate, the detection signal feeds back the signal that the connecting plates have been conveyed in place and waits for the connecting plate handling robot 805 to grab them.,
