[0026] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.
[0027] Example 1:
[0028] Please combine Figures 1-6 The intelligent spraying robot for the surface of tunnel lining in this embodiment includes a vehicle body 1. A lifting component 2 is connected to the top of the vehicle body 1. An adjustment component 3 is connected to the output end of the lifting component 2. A spraying component is connected to the output end of the adjustment component 3. When spraying a protective coating on the surface of the tunnel lining, the height of the spraying component is adjusted by the lifting component 2, and the tilt position of the spraying component is adjusted by the adjustment component 3 and the spraying distance is finely adjusted. Then, the coating is sprayed on the surface of the tunnel lining using the spraying component.
[0029] The spraying assembly includes a flange 41 connected to the output end of the adjustment assembly 3. The flange 41 is connected to a collection box 42 with an opening at the top. A horizontal plate 43 is fixed to the inner wall of the collection box 42. A spray pipe 44 is fixed to the horizontal plate 43. A collection mechanism 45, which is fixed to the collection box 42, is installed on one side of the horizontal plate 43. An air inlet pipe 46 is fixed to the top of the collection mechanism 45. A cover 47, which is fixed to the horizontal plate 43 and the inner wall of the collection box 42, is fixed to the top of the air inlet pipe 46. An exhaust pipe 48, which is connected to the collection mechanism 45, is provided on one side of the air inlet pipe 46.
[0030] The collection mechanism 45 includes a storage plate 451 fixed inside the collection box 42. The storage plate 451 has a cylindrical storage groove at one end away from the horizontal plate 43. The storage groove is rotatably fitted with a storage cylinder 452 with its opening facing the horizontal plate 43. The outer ring of the storage cylinder 452 has an arc-shaped transition groove 1 453 and a transition groove 2 456. The transition groove 1 453 is connected to the air inlet pipe 46, and the transition groove 2 456 is connected to the air extraction pipe 48. The top of the transition groove 1 452 has a channel 1 454 that communicates with the inside of the storage cylinder 452. One end of the channel 1 454 that extends into the inside of the storage cylinder 452 is fitted with a dispersion pipe 458 that is fixed to the storage cylinder 452. The top of the transition groove 2 456 has a channel 2 457 that communicates with the inside of the storage cylinder 452. The storage cylinder 452 is also provided with an attitude adjustment unit for adjusting the attitude of the storage cylinder 452.
[0031] An inlet pipe connected to the storage cylinder 452 is installed on the upper side of the storage plate 451 near the horizontal plate 43, and a drain pipe connected to the storage cylinder 452 is installed on the lower side of the storage plate 451 near the horizontal plate 43. A nozzle is installed on the top of the spray pipe 44.
[0032] The attitude adjustment unit includes an active shaft fixed to the end of the storage cylinder 452 and rotatably connected to the collection box 42. A motor is installed at one end of the active shaft that extends out of the collection box 42. The attitude adjustment unit includes a long strip-shaped configuration plate fixed to the inner side wall of the bottom of the storage cylinder 452. The arc of the first adapter groove 453 and the second adapter groove 456 is greater than 180 degrees. An array of distance sensors is fixed to the top of the horizontal plate 43.
[0033] During spraying, a distance sensor mounted on the horizontal plate 43 detects the distance to the tunnel lining surface, facilitating the adjustment of the spraying assembly's position. During spraying, the paint is sprayed out along the nozzle 44. At this time, part of the atomized paint adheres to the tunnel lining surface, while a small amount floats in the air. When the gas is drawn away by the suction pump, the atomized paint, while being drawn away, enters the air inlet pipe 46 along the cover 47 on the collection box 42, then enters the transfer groove 453, then enters the dispersion pipe 458 along the channel 454, and finally enters the adsorbent stored inside the storage cylinder 452. The paint is absorbed by the adsorbent, and then the clean gas enters the exhaust pipe 48 through channel 2 457 and transfer groove 2 456 and is discharged, thereby recovering and adsorbing the excess paint that is not adhering to the surface of the tunnel lining, avoiding pollution from dispersed paint, and realizing the paint recycling operation; when the spraying assembly is spraying at an angle, the state of the storage cylinder 452 is automatically adjusted by the configuration plate, or the state of the storage cylinder 452 is adjusted by motor 2, so that channel 1 454 is always at the top of the storage cylinder 452, thereby preventing the adsorbent inside the storage cylinder 452 from escaping from channel 1 454 and channel 2 456.

[0036] The rotating mechanism 25 includes a fixed plate fixed to the carriage of the vehicle body 1. The outer ring of the fixed plate is rotatably connected to a turntable fixed to the support frame 21. The outer ring of the turntable is fitted with a protective cover of an annular structure connected to the carriage of the vehicle body 1. A gear ring is installed inside the protective cover and is fixedly fitted to the turntable. The gear ring meshes with a gear. The inner ring of the gear is fixedly fitted with a rotating shaft. The bottom of the rotating shaft is connected to a motor connected to the carriage of the vehicle body 1.
[0037] The adjustment assembly 3 includes a fixed base 31 connected to the output end of the lifting assembly 2. A shock absorber 32 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed base 31. A bearing plate 1 is connected to the top of the shock absorber 32. A rotating mechanism 1 33 is fixedly connected to the top of the bearing plate 1. A bearing plate 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating mechanism 1 33. A rotating mechanism 2 34 is connected to the top of the bearing plate 2. A telescopic mechanism 35 connected to the spraying assembly is connected to the output end of the rotating mechanism 2 34.
[0038] Rotating mechanism 1 33 includes a turntable rotatably connected to the top of the support plate 1. A gear ring 2 is fixedly sleeved on the outer ring of the turntable.

The rotating rod 1 is connected to the support plate 2 through a bearing seat. A gear 2 is fixedly sleeved on the end of the rotating rod. A rack 2 meshes with the gear 2. A pushing unit 4, which is fixedly connected to the support plate 2, is fixedly connected to one end of the rack 2.
[0039] The top of the vehicle body 1 is equipped with a liquid storage tank, a control box, a vacuum pump, and an air supply pump. The liquid storage tank is connected to the nozzle 44 via a hose. A delivery pump is installed on the hose. The vacuum pump is connected to the vacuum pipe 48 via an air pipe. The air supply pump is connected to the nozzle 44 via an air pipe. The control box contains a controller. A display screen, a power interface, a data interface, and a switch are installed on one side of the control box. The telescopic mechanism 35, the first push unit 23, the second push unit 23, the third push unit, and the fourth push unit all use push rod motors. The controller is connected to the push rod motors, motor one, motor two, solenoid valves, the vacuum pump, the air supply pump, the delivery pump, the distance sensor, the display screen, the power interface, the data interface, and the switch.
[0040] When it is necessary to adjust the height and direction of the spraying component, the motor on the rotating mechanism 25 is started to make the turntable rotate, thereby adjusting the direction of the spraying component. When the first push unit 23 and the second push unit 25 are started, the first bracket 22 and the second bracket 24 are pushed to move, adjusting the height of the spraying component. The tilt state of the spraying component is adjusted by the first rotating mechanism 33 and the second rotating structure 34. The telescopic mechanism 35 finely adjusts the distance between the spraying component and the surface of the tunnel lining. When the vehicle body 1 moves forward, the surface of the tunnel lining is continuously sprayed.
[0041] This invention enables continuous spraying of the tunnel lining surface as the vehicle moves forward. It can adjust the spraying height and tilt angle according to the position of the tunnel lining surface, reducing the difficulty of spraying operations and improving spraying efficiency and quality. It can also absorb and recover excess spray material that does not adhere to the tunnel lining surface during the spraying process, avoiding air pollution during spraying, protecting the tunnel working environment, and recovering excess paint for subsequent reuse, thus saving costs.

Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
