Description
Technical Field

[0002] In water conservancy and hydropower projects, the construction quality of rockfill dam concrete panels directly impacts the dam's anti-seepage performance and long-term stability. Traditional chute systems, due to distance and height limitations, can easily lead to problems such as segregation, coagulation, and separation during concrete transportation, impacting the concrete's performance and construction quality. Traditional spreading methods often rely on manual operation, resulting in poor spreading accuracy and difficulty ensuring uniform distribution of concrete. This results in substandard surface flatness and density after pouring, increasing the difficulty and cost of subsequent construction. Furthermore, manual spreading and transportation require workers to operate at height or on unstable work surfaces, posing significant safety risks and limiting construction efficiency. Construction technology and equipment suffer from a low level of automation, making real-time monitoring and dynamic adjustment impossible. This makes it difficult to control concrete quality during construction and makes it difficult to meet the requirements of modern construction. Summary of the Invention
