Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of construction, and in particular to a steel cable marking device for air-supported membrane structures. Background Technology

[0002] Air-supported membrane structures are widely used due to their lightweight structure, low construction cost, and fast construction speed. However, to maintain the wind resistance of air-supported membrane structures, they are usually wrapped with interwoven steel cables in a mesh pattern. The connection points of the intersecting cables require connectors to secure them together to ensure the stability of the overall mesh structure. According to architectural requirements, these connection points need to be evenly spaced at predetermined intervals. However, during on-site installation, the steel cables are not marked, which can easily lead to errors by workers and result in substandard construction. Therefore, a device that automatically marks the steel cables is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention proposes a steel cable marking device and its manufacturing method for air-supported membrane structures. This invention enables automatic and rapid marking of steel cables, improving marking speed and saving labor.

[0004] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A steel cable marking device for an air-supported membrane structure includes a first frame. Along its length, one side of the first frame has an equipment track and a shifting rack, while the other side has several rotating shafts fixed in sequence, each shaft having several concave pulleys mounted on it. A marking machine host is slidably connected to the equipment track. The marking machine host includes a second frame, on which a rotating device is mounted. The rotating device is connected to a gear that meshes with the shifting rack. A telescopic mechanism is also mounted on the second frame, connected to a paint spraying mechanism. A displacement sensor is also mounted on the second frame, and the displacement sensor is communicatively connected to the rotating device via an electrical control box.

[0006] In a further improvement, the rotating device is an electric motor.

[0007] As a further improvement, an automatic tape wrapping machine is installed at the end of the first frame.

[0008] Further improvements include the installation of a machine vision system on the automatic tape wrapping machine.

[0009] Further improvements include the paint spraying mechanism and the paint spray gun.

[0010] Further improvements included the installation of several steel cable winding machines on the first frame.

[0011] In a further improvement, the steel cable winding machine includes a base, on which a servo motor is mounted. The servo motor is connected to a mounting plate, and several winding vertical rods are fixed circumferentially on the mounting plate. Pad rods arranged radially along the mounting plate are installed on the outer side of the winding vertical rods. Steel cable hook fixing rods are also installed on the inner side of the winding vertical rods.

[0012] In a further improvement, the steel cable winding machine is equipped with a slide rail, on which a winch is slidably connected, and the winch is connected to a hook; the winch is connected to a sliding power device.

[0013] In a further improvement, the sliding power device is a transmission belt.

[0014] In a further improvement, the telescopic mechanism is a linear motor; a support rod is installed on one side below the concave pulley.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0016] This invention enables automatic and rapid marking of steel cables, improving marking speed and saving labor. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The invention will be further illustrated with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the contents of the drawings do not constitute any limitation on the invention.

[0018] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the top view of the first frame.

[0019] Figure 2 This is a side view of the first frame.

[0020] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the main unit of the inkjet printer;

[0021] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a steel cable winding machine. Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the purpose, technical solution, and advantages of the invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] like Figure 1-4The steel cable marking device for an air-supported membrane structure includes a first frame 1. Along its length, one side of the first frame 1 has an equipment track 2 and a shifting rack 3, while the other side has several rotating shafts 4 fixed in sequence. Several concave pulleys 5 are axled onto each rotating shaft 4. A coding machine host 6 is slidably connected to the equipment track 2. The coding machine host 6 includes a second frame 7, on which a rotating device 8 is mounted. The rotating device 8 is connected to a gear 9 that meshes with the shifting rack 3. A telescopic mechanism 10 is also mounted on the second frame 7, connected to a paint spraying mechanism 11. A displacement sensor 12 is also mounted on the second frame 7, and the displacement sensor 12 is communicatively connected to the rotating device 8 via an electrical control box 13. The rotating device 8 is a motor. The paint spraying mechanism 11 is a paint spray gun.

[0025] In use, the steel cable 20 passes through the bottom of the concave pulley and is placed on the first frame 1. Then, the inkjet printer host 6 moves from one end (0 point position), and the displacement sensor 12 senses the moving distance. Moving a preset distance results in one inkjet print on the steel cable, thus marking the steel cable. Multiple concave pulleys 5 can be set on the rotating shaft 4, corresponding to multiple steel cables 20, and then inkjet markings are applied to the corresponding positions on the steel cables.

[0026] To prevent markings from falling off or incomplete spraying, an automatic tape wrapping machine 14 is installed at the end of the first frame 1. This allows tape to be wrapped around the marking location as the steel cable passes through the automatic tape wrapping machine 14.

[0027] To automate the tape wrapping process, a machine vision system is installed in conjunction with the automatic tape wrapping machine 14. The machine vision system identifies the markings, and when the markings move to the automatic tape wrapping machine 14, it controls the automatic tape wrapping machine 14 to wrap the tape.

[0028] Several cable winding machines 15 are also installed in conjunction with the first frame 1. After each cable on the first frame is coated, the cable winding machine 15 winds it up, allowing subsequent cables to enter the first frame for further marking.

[0029] The steel cable winding machine 15 includes a base 151, on which a servo motor 152 is mounted. The servo motor 152 is connected to a mounting plate 153. Several winding vertical rods 154 are fixed circumferentially on the mounting plate 153. Pad rods 155 arranged radially along the mounting plate 153 are installed on the outer side of the winding vertical rods 154. Steel cable hook fixing rods 156 are also installed on the inner side of the winding vertical rods 154.

[0030] A slide rail 16 is installed on the steel cable winding machine 15, and a winch 17 is slidably connected to the slide rail 16. The winch 17 is connected to a hook 18; the winch 17 is connected to a sliding power device 19.

[0031] The cable hook fixing rod 156 is used initially to attach the hook at the end of the cable to the cable hook fixing rod 156, and then the servo motor 152 rotates to make the cable wind around the winding vertical rod 154 for winding. After each section of cable is completely wound up, the wound cable is lifted by the hook of the winch 17 and then moved to the preset storage position.

[0032] The sliding power device 19 is a transmission belt. The telescopic mechanism 10 is a linear motor; a support rod 22 is installed on one side below the concave pulley 5.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
