Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bridge construction, and in particular to a method for displaying the progress of 3D printing of a bridge project. Background Art

[0002] Unlike traditional construction projects, bridge projects in highway and municipal infrastructure sectors are often long and linear. Prior art Chinese patent publication number CN109703007A discloses a method for displaying the progress of bridge projects using 3D printing. This method uses simplified 3D models and sub-items to 3D print various bridge components. The 3D-printed bridge components are then placed on a display device in sync with the actual project progress.

[0003] Among them, each time a certain distance of the bridge engineering 3D model is printed, the bottom of each section of the bridge engineering 3D model requires corresponding piers or additional support parts to complete the printing of the corresponding bridge engineering 3D model. It is also necessary to distinguish between the piers and additional support parts, which causes misunderstandings in the display. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to propose a method for displaying the progress of 3D printing of bridge engineering to solve the problem of needing to distinguish between bridge piers and additional supports, which causes misunderstandings in the display.

[0005] Based on the above objectives, the present invention provides a method for displaying the progress of 3D printing of bridge engineering, comprising the following steps:

[0006] S1: Laying out the printing base, installing a plurality of printing bases arranged in sequence on the printing operation table, the 3D printing mechanism is installed on the printing operation table through a sliding drive mechanism, and the printing base is located below the 3D printing mechanism;

[0007] S2: Install a 3D printing lift platform. A 3D printing lift plate is provided above the printing base. The 3D printing lift plate and the printing base are connected via a lifting unit. A disassembly plate is detachably installed on the top of the 3D printing lift plate, and the disassembly plate is located below the 3D printing mechanism.

[0008] S3: 3D printing of bridge engineering: according to the progress of the bridge engineering, a 3D model of the bridge engineering is printed on a designated disassembly plate by a 3D printing mechanism, and the 3D printing mechanism is driven by a sliding drive mechanism to move horizontally relative to the printing operation table so that the 3D printing mechanism moves to the corresponding disassembly plate;

[0009] S4: Adjusting the height of the disassembly plate. During the S3 process, when there is no bridge pier below the bridge engineering 3D model to be printed, the disassembly plate is driven upward by the lifting unit, and the height of the disassembly plate is adjusted. The unprinted bridge engineering 3D model is supported by the disassembly plate so that the bridge engineering 3D model is suspended relative to the printing base. The bridge engineering 3D model is printed on the adjusted disassembly plate by the 3D printing mechanism.

[0010] S5: Displaying the progress of a section of the project. According to the progress of the bridge project, the lifting unit drives the corresponding disassembly plate in the construction stage upward, making it higher than the adjacent disassembly plate, distinguishing between the construction stage and the completed stage. When the corresponding section of the bridge project is completed, the lifting unit drives the corresponding disassembly plate downward, so that the 3D model of the newly completed bridge project can be spliced ​​with the 3D models of other completed bridge projects.

[0011] S6: Replacement of the bridge engineering 3D model. After the bridge engineering 3D model is completely printed, the disassembly plate and the 3D printing lifting plate are separated to separate each section of the bridge engineering 3D model. After the separation is completed, the unused disassembly plate is reinstalled and the next bridge engineering 3D printing can be carried out.

[0012] Optionally, a rotation drive mechanism is provided at the bottom of the printing operation table in S1 to enable the printing operation table to be rotatably connected relative to the placement position.

[0013] Optionally, the lifting unit in S2 is an electric telescopic rod.

[0014] Optionally, the 3D printed lifting plate and the disassembly plate in S2 are connected by bolts.

[0015] Optionally, a distance measuring sensor is fixedly connected to the 3D printing lifting plate in S2, and the distance measuring sensor is located on one side of the disassembly plate. An indicator light is fixedly connected to the 3D printing lifting plate, and the indicator light is electrically connected to the distance measuring sensor.

[0016] Optionally, the ranging sensor is connected to the 3D printing lifting plate through a spacing adjustment unit. The spacing adjustment unit drives the ranging sensor to move, changes the distance between the ranging sensor and the 3D printing lifting plate, so that the ranging sensor is aligned with the top of the disassembly plate. The ranging sensor detects whether there is an obstacle on the corresponding disassembly plate. When there is a 3D printed model of the bridge project on the disassembly plate, the ranging sensor detects the distance between it and the 3D printed model of the bridge project, so that the corresponding indicator light lights up.

[0017] Optionally, the sliding drive mechanism in S3 includes a drive member and a guide member, the 3D printing mechanism is connected to the printing operation table through the drive member, and the drive member is used to drive the 3D printing mechanism to move horizontally.

[0018] Optionally, the guide member includes a side panel fixedly mounted on the printing operation table, a guide groove is formed on the side panel, and a guide block is fixedly connected to the 3D printing mechanism, and the guide block is located in the guide groove.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: when there is no pier underneath the 3D model of the bridge project to be printed, the disassembly plate is driven upward by the lifting unit, and the height of the disassembly plate is adjusted. The unprinted 3D model of the bridge project is supported by the disassembly plate so that the 3D model of the bridge project is suspended relative to the printing base. The 3D printing mechanism prints the 3D model of the bridge project on the adjusted disassembly plate, and there is no need to print additional support parts, so that the display effect is clearer.
