BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0021] Figure 1 It is a structural diagram of the utility model;

[0022] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the connection between the displacement drive (hydraulic cylinder) and the slide using a universal ball joint. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the present invention utilizes a wrist rotation mechanism 22 for the support arm 1 of a tunnel arch machine. This mechanism 2 is pivotally connected to the front end of the support arm 1 and can mimic the movements of the human wrist, elbow, and shoulder joints, achieving multi-axis motion and precise position adjustment of steel arch segments. Specifically, the wrist rotation mechanism 2 includes a front and rear pitch seat 21, a rotating platform 22, a left and right pitch seat 23, and a sliding assembly.

[0024] The pitch base 21 includes a pitch base body and a pitch actuator 25 connected to the support arm 1 for driving the pitch base body to perform pitch motion. The side end surface of the pitch base body is L-shaped. The pitch actuator 25 is connected between the front end of the support arm 1 and the front end of the pitch base 21.

[0025] The turntable 22 is mounted horizontally on the pitch base 21. The pitch base 21 drives the turntable 22 in pitching motion. The turntable 22 comprises a turntable base and a support frame 26, which is driven by the turntable base. The support frame 26 is a barrel-shaped structure with two opposing walls of different heights and a concave side profile. The actuator driving the support frame 26 on the turntable base is a hydraulic drive motor 210.

[0026] The left and right pitch mount 23 is pivotally connected to the top of the support frame 26. The left and right pitch mount 23 includes a frame and a left and right pitch actuator 27 connected to the support frame 26 to drive the frame to pitch. The front and rear ends of the frame are pivotally connected to the top of the support frame 26 via pivots. The left and right pitch actuator 27 is connected to the side walls of the support frame 26 and to at least one of the left and right ends of the frame.

[0027] The sliding assembly is located on the upper end surface of the left and right pitching seats 23. The sliding assembly includes a clamping panel 24, a guide rail 211, and a slide 213. The guide rail 211 is fixed between the front and rear ends of the clamping panel 24 and is slidably connected to the slide 213. The slide 213 is fixedly connected to the top end surface of the support frame 26. The sliding assembly also includes a shift actuator 28 for driving the clamping panel 24 to move back and forth along the guide rail 211. The shift actuator 28 is a hydraulic cylinder, one end of which is connected to the front end of the clamping panel 24, and the other end is connected to the slide 213 via a universal ball joint 214. The use of the universal ball joint 214 can prevent the shift actuator 28 from twisting when the clamping panel 24 is pitched. Of course, the other end of the shift actuator 28 can also be hinged to the left and right pitching seats 23, which will eliminate the twisting problem of the shift actuator 28.

[0028] The clamping panel 24 is slidably connected to the frame, and the clamping panel 24 moves left and right with the frame. Sliders 212 are provided between the clamping panel 24 and the left and right ends of the frame. This design ensures that the clamping panel 24 and the frame move relative to each other through sliding friction, improving the stability of the clamping panel 24 during sliding.

[0029] The sliding assembly also includes at least one clamp 29 mounted on the upper end of the clamping panel 24. Clamp 29 is used to clamp and secure the arch segments. Clamp 29 includes a fixed clamping block 291 and a movable clamping block 292 spaced apart. The movable clamping block 292 is rotated by a clamping driver 293 to tighten or loosen the arch segments.

[0030] In the present invention, the front and rear pitching actuator 25, the left and right pitching actuator 27, and the clamping actuator 293 are also hydraulic cylinders.

[0031] It should be noted that the wrist rotation mechanism described in the present invention can also be used in engineering machinery with a robotic arm that has similar requirements.

[0032] 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.
