[0002] As a common foundation form for long-span bridge construction, multi-well caissons are mostly constructed without drainage, and the soil inside the wells is mostly taken vertically. When the caisson is constructed without drainage and encounters a hard soil layer during the sinking process, due to its large natural slope foot, the soil in the structural blind area such as the caisson blade foot is not easy to collapse into the well hole, resulting in excessive end resistance of the caisson tread, which makes the caisson sink slowly. Therefore, the existing technology often uses a soil-breaking device to accelerate the sinking of the caisson. The patent "CN 212612713U" discloses a deep-water multi-well caisson foundation blade foot soil-taking device, which improves the soil-breaking efficiency, but there are still difficulties in soil-taking, and additional soil-taking devices are required to clean the soil.

The metal tube part of the mud suction pipe 233 is longer than the air pipe 231 and the water pipe 232, so that it does not affect the other two tubes when inserted into the mud and water. The control system 24 is arranged on the support plate 21 and is electrically connected to the robot arm 22 for controlling the movement of the robot arm 22. The second telescopic arm 223 is also provided with a camera, which is electrically connected to the control system 24 for observing the position of the soil to be broken. The third telescopic arm 224 is also provided with an inclination sensor, which is electrically connected to the control system 24 for outputting the angle data of the third robot arm.

[0022] The first telescopic arm 222, the second telescopic arm 223 and the third telescopic arm 224 are driven by oil cylinders, air cylinders or electricity, preferably oil cylinders. The first telescopic arm 222, the second telescopic arm 223 and the third telescopic arm 224 are telescopic arms of the telescopic type, and their structure includes a fixed body, and the fixed body can be formed by connecting multiple sections according to the depth of the caisson, and is a hollow structure; the oil cylinder is connected to the lowermost end (end) of the fixed body; for the first telescopic arm, the hose of the pipeline 23 passes through the hollow fixed body and penetrates into the cavity of the oil cylinder.

The soil-excavating robot 2 is now located just above the space to be operated. Install the soil-excavating robot 2 on the mobile work platform 1, and adjust the angle and depth of the bottom area of ​​the soil-excavating robot 2 to a suitable position.

At the same time, the vacuum mud pump is started to form a negative pressure in the mud extraction pipe 233 to extract the soil at the caisson blade foot 3 in the blind area of ​​the caisson.

[0030] (4) Device recovery: After the earth-breaking and soil-taking operation is completed, the operation is stopped, the soil-taking robot 2 is dismantled, and then the mobile working platform 1 is moved along the slide rail 11 to the next caisson to be broken.
