Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pile foundation concrete pouring technology, and in particular to a control system and method for precise pouring of pile foundation concrete based on multi-source sensor fusion. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional methods for pouring concrete for pile foundations present a series of technical problems that severely impact construction quality and efficiency. First, irregular hole shapes lead to significant discrepancies between theoretically calculated volumes and actual requirements, typically with over-pouring rates exceeding 15%. This not only increases material costs but may also pose structural safety risks. Second, the dynamic changes between pouring rate and concrete shrinkage cannot be compensated for in real-time by existing electronic metering devices, resulting in inaccurate volume control. Third, precise control of pile top elevation relies on manual experience, with errors potentially reaching ±30cm, especially during nighttime construction, severely affecting construction accuracy and safety. Finally, quality issues in concealed works, such as broken piles and necking, are often only discovered after construction is complete, with a problem detection rate of less than 40%. This not only increases rework rates but also affects the overall quality and safety of the project.

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical issues, the industry currently relies primarily on the volumetric method in the "Technical Specification for Building Pile Foundations" for monitoring concrete pouring volume. However, this method suffers from three monitoring blind spots: during the borehole formation stage, a probe cage is used to detect the borehole diameter (error ±5cm); during the pouring stage, an electromagnetic flowmeter (accuracy class 1.5) is used in conjunction with a measuring rope for verification; and in the final pouring stage, an over-pouring coefficient of 0.8~1.2m is used for control. Although some patents have proposed improved methods, most fail to fully consider the complexity of the actual borehole shape and lack an effective real-time closed-loop control system. For example, patent CN20181023567.X, "BIM-based Prediction System for Concrete Pouring Volume of Pile Foundations," uses a three-dimensional geological model to generate theoretical volumes and obtains the actual usage through a concrete mixer truck weighing system. However, in practical applications, this solution fails to fully consider the complex morphology of the borehole and lacks real-time closed-loop control measures, which significantly limits the practical application of existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology. To achieve the above objectives, a pile foundation concrete precision pouring control system and method based on multi-source sensor fusion is adopted to solve the problems mentioned in the background technology.

[0005] A precision concrete pouring control system for pile foundations based on multi-source sensor fusion, comprising a perception layer, a modeling layer, a data layer, a decision layer, and an execution layer; The sensing layer includes a phased array ultrasonic probe, a binocular vision sensor, and a laser ranging array; The modeling layer includes a three-dimensional hole reconstruction module for processing ultrasonic point cloud data, and a BIM digital modeling engine for constructing a parametric pile foundation model with construction tolerance zone based on the IFC standard. The data layer includes a real-time monitoring database for storing multi-source sensor data, and a multi-source data fusion center that fuses visual data and laser data based on an improved DS evidence theory; The decision-making layer includes a concrete dynamic evaluation model based on a volume compensation algorithm for soil elastic parameters, and a BIM visualization platform for dynamically rendering pouring heatmaps, anomaly markers, and profile deviations using a WebGL engine. The execution layer includes an adaptive PID controller for adjusting the concrete pumping rate according to decision instructions, and a three-dimensional visualization terminal for real-time display of a tolerance-enabled BIM model.

[0008] As a further aspect of the present invention: the multi-source data fusion center is used to establish a spatiotemporal reference coordinate system and to map laser data onto the surface of the BIM model through an inverse projection algorithm.

[0009] As a further aspect of the present invention: the decision layer employs a hybrid neural network anomaly classifier, which triggers an audible and visual alarm and marks the anomaly type when the real-time pouring surface penetrates the tolerance zone.

[0010] As a further aspect of the present invention: the concrete dynamic compensation model integrates the ARIMA time series predictor and uses the Monte Carlo integration method to calculate the theoretical volume, the formula being: ; And the dynamic compensation formula is updated as follows: ; Then, estimate the remaining volume and pouring time, and output the remaining volume using the following formula: ; in, This is the over-irrigation coefficient. This represents the cumulative pouring volume; Based on the time forecasting algorithm, an ARIMA time series model is constructed, with the following formula: ; The remaining time is estimated as follows: .

[0011] As a further aspect of the present invention: the execution layer is connected to a Hololens AR terminal, which overlays the BIM model and real-time deviation data onto the actual construction site scene and displays PID adjustment commands.

[0012] The second aspect of the technical solution: A control method for a pile foundation concrete precision pouring control system based on multi-source sensor fusion as described in any of the above, comprising the following steps: Step S1: Generate pile hole point cloud by scanning with phased array ultrasonic probe, use improved RANSAC algorithm to remove noise, and integrate soil elastic parameters to construct BIM model with tolerance zone; Step S2: Synchronize binocular vision data and laser ranging data, fuse multi-source information through improved DS evidence theory, and map it to the BIM model in real time; Step S3: When the monitoring surface penetrates the tolerance band, the LSTM+GRU anomaly classifier is triggered to generate an early warning signal; Step S4: Predict the remaining volume based on the ARIMA model, and output the pump speed adjustment amount through the adaptive PID controller; Step S5: Dynamically render the heatmap of the pouring status, anomaly markers, and AR auxiliary commands in the WebGL engine.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical advantages: The above technical solution employs a five-layer architecture: a perception layer, a modeling layer, a data layer, a decision-making layer, and an execution layer. The perception layer generates high-density point clouds through phased-array ultrasonic probe scanning, combining binocular vision and a laser ranging array to acquire data in real time. The modeling layer uses an improved RANSAC algorithm for noise reduction and constructs a BIM parametric model with construction tolerance zones, dynamically correcting theoretical volumes using soil elastic compensation formulas. The decision-making layer integrates multi-source data based on improved DS evidence theory and detects tolerance zone penetration behavior using an LSTM+GRU anomaly classifier. The execution layer utilizes an adaptive PID controller to adjust the pumping rate in real time and visualizes the dynamic pouring status through a WebGL engine. Through measured orifice shape and volume compensation, the volume control error was reduced from ±12% to ±1.5%. A dynamic balance equation of "orifice shape-flow rate-elevation" was established to achieve adaptive adjustment of the pouring rate. A three-dimensional digital twin with tolerance zones was developed, increasing the visualization rate of hidden engineering problems from 38% to 97%.
