[0026] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the utility model tunnel arch machine includes a car body 1, a folding arm 3 and a clamping device. A horizontally placed first turntable 2 is provided on the car body 1. The lower end of the folding arm 3 is hinged on the first turntable 2. The first turntable 2 drives the folding arm 3 to rotate. It also includes a wrist rotation mechanism 4 for controlling the movement of the arch frame segment. The wrist rotation mechanism 4 is connected to the upper end of the folding arm 3 through a pivot rotation. The folding arm 3 can drive the wrist rotation mechanism 4 to adjust the height position. The folding arm 3 cooperates with the first turntable 2 to move the wrist rotation mechanism 4 to a predetermined position.

[0027] To precisely move the steel arch segments to their intended positions, the wrist rotation mechanism 4 in this invention mimics the movements of the human wrist, elbow, and shoulder joints, achieving multi-axis motion and precise adjustment of the steel arch segments' positions. Specifically, the wrist rotation mechanism 4 comprises a front-to-back pitch mount 41, a second turntable 42, a left-to-right pitch mount 43, and a sliding assembly.

[0028] The pitch base 41 includes a pitch base body and a pitch actuator 45 connected to the folding arm 3 for driving the pitch base body in forward and backward pitch motion. The side end surface of the pitch base body is L-shaped, and the rear end of the pitch base body is pivotally connected to the upper end of the folding arm 3. The pitch actuator 45 is connected between the upper end of the folding arm 3 and the front end of the pitch base 41.

[0029] The second turntable 42 is horizontally arranged on the front and rear pitch seat 41, and the front and rear pitch seat 41 drives the second turntable 42 to perform front and rear pitch movement. The second turntable 42 includes a turntable seat and a support frame 46 driven to rotate by the turntable seat; the support frame 46 is a barrel-shaped structure with two opposite side walls of different heights, and its side surface is concave. The driver on the turntable seat that drives the support frame 46 to rotate is a hydraulic drive motor 410.

[0030] The left and right pitch seat 43 is rotatably connected to the top of the support frame 46. The left and right pitch seat 43 includes a frame and a left and right pitch driver 47 connected to the support frame 46 for driving the frame to perform left and right pitch movement; the front and rear ends of the frame are rotatably connected to the top of the support frame 46 through pivots respectively, and the left and right pitch drivers 47 are connected to the side walls of the support frame 46 and at least one side of the left and right ends of the frame.

[0031] The sliding assembly is located on the upper end surface of the left and right pitching seat 43. The sliding assembly includes a clamping panel 44, a guide rail 411, and a slide 413. The guide rail 411 is fixed between the front and rear ends of the clamping panel 44 and is slidably connected to the slide 413. The slide 413 is fixedly connected to the top end surface of the support frame 46. The sliding assembly also includes a shift actuator 48 for driving the clamping panel 44 forward and backward along the guide rail 411. The shift actuator 48 is a hydraulic cylinder, one end of which is connected to the front end of the clamping panel 44, and the other end is connected to the slide 413 via a universal ball joint 414. The use of the universal ball joint 414 can prevent the shift actuator 48 from twisting when the clamping panel 44 is pitched. Of course, the other end of the shift actuator 48 can also be hinged to the left and right pitching seat 43, which will eliminate the twisting problem of the shift actuator 48.

[0032] The clamping panel 44 is slidably connected to the frame, and the clamping panel 44 is driven by the frame to move left and right. Sliders 412 are provided between the clamping panel 44 and the left and right ends of the frame. This design allows sliding friction between the clamping panel 44 and the frame when the two components move relative to each other, thereby improving the stability of the clamping panel 44 during the sliding process.

[0033] The clamping device is provided on the upper end surface of the clamping panel 44. The clamping device is at least one clamp 49 provided on the upper end surface of the clamping panel 44. The clamp 49 includes a fixed clamping block 491 and a movable clamping block 492 arranged at intervals. The movable clamping block 492 is rotated by a clamping driver 493 to clamp or release the arch segment.

[0034] The folding arm 3 is a commonly used equipment in engineering machinery. The number of arm sections of the folding arm 3 is set according to needs. In this embodiment, the arm has two sections, specifically including a lower arm 31 and an upper arm 32. The lower end of the lower arm 31 is hinged on the first turntable 2, and the first turntable 2 is connected to a lower arm driver 33 that drives the lower arm 31 to rotate. The upper end of the lower arm 31 is hinged to the lower end of the upper arm 32, and the side wall of the lower arm 31 is connected to an upper arm driver 34 that drives the upper arm 32 to rotate.

[0035] In the present invention, the lower arm rotator 33, the upper arm rotator 34, the front and rear pitch actuator 45, the left and right pitch actuator 47, and the clamping actuator 493 are also hydraulic cylinders.

[0036] The above describes the specific implementation of the present invention, but those skilled in the art should understand that this is only an example. Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to this implementation without departing from the principle and essence of the present invention, but these changes and modifications will fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
