Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of construction, and more particularly to an assembly system, method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for prefabricated modules. Background Technology

[0002] Prefabricated modular buildings refer to buildings assembled on-site using prefabricated components. Compared with traditional buildings, they have advantages such as reduced energy consumption, shorter construction cycles, simplified on-site operations, and reduced environmental impact, enabling rapid on-site assembly. Therefore, prefabricated modular buildings are an important component of industrialized construction and a crucial vehicle for transforming urban construction models, reducing building energy consumption, and promoting building industrialization.

[0003] In related technologies, in order to ensure rapid assembly and improve assembly efficiency, it is necessary to achieve precise assembly control of the various modules that are separated in the prefabrication project.

[0004] However, the inventors have discovered at least the following technical problems in the related technology: In the actual process of accurately assembling and controlling the various modules that are separated in the prefabrication project, there are often various problems, such as the assembly adjustment plan proposed on the spot, the difficulty in assembling certain modules, or even assembly errors. These situations will seriously affect the efficiency of subsequent assembly and integration of various modules. Therefore, the assembly efficiency of each module in the related technology is low. Summary of the Invention

[0005] One object of this application is to provide an assembly system, method, apparatus and computer-readable medium for prefabricated modules, at least to solve the technical problem of low assembly efficiency of modules in the related art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, some embodiments of this application provide an assembly system for prefabricated modules. The system includes: a virtual display unit for displaying a virtual target module corresponding to a real target module, displaying assembly information of the virtual target module in a first touch mode so that assembly personnel can assemble the real target module according to the assembly information, and receiving report information issued by the assembly personnel in a second touch mode; and an information processing unit for processing the report information and, after receiving feedback information from an expert regarding the report information, sending the feedback information to the virtual display unit so that the assembly personnel can assemble the module according to the feedback information.

[0007] Some embodiments of this application also provide a method for assembling a prefabricated module. The method includes: displaying a virtual target module corresponding to a real target module; displaying assembly information of the virtual target module in a first touch mode so that an assembly worker can assemble the real target module according to the assembly information; and receiving report information from the assembly worker in a second touch mode; processing the report information; and after receiving feedback information from an expert regarding the report information, sending the feedback information to the virtual display unit so that the assembly worker can assemble the module according to the feedback information.

[0008] Some embodiments of this application also provide an assembly apparatus for prefabricated modules, the apparatus comprising: one or more processors; and a memory storing computer program instructions, which, when executed, cause the processors to perform the methods described above.

[0009] Some embodiments of this application also provide a computer-readable medium having computer program instructions stored thereon, which can be executed by a processor to implement the methods described above.

[0010] Compared to existing technologies, the solution provided in this application, by virtualizing the real target module to obtain the corresponding virtual target module, can ensure the accuracy of the assembly process when assembly personnel assemble according to the virtual target module. Since various problems encountered during the precise assembly control of the modules in the prefabricated project, such as unclear assembly methods, impromptu assembly adjustments, difficult or incorrect assembly of certain modules, can be fed back to the information processing unit in real time, experts can propose solutions based on the information processing unit's report and provide feedback to the assembly personnel. Furthermore, when the expert is a human expert, even if the human expert is not at the assembly site, they can still propose solutions based on the report and provide feedback to the assembly personnel. This can largely solve the problem of long delays or even stagnation in the entire assembly process caused by a single issue, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of each module.

[0014] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0015] Example 1

[0016] In some embodiments of this application, an assembly system for prefabricated modules is provided. The system includes:

[0017] A virtual display unit is used to display a virtual target module corresponding to the real target module. In a first touch mode, it displays the assembly information of the virtual target module so that the assembly personnel can assemble the real target module according to the assembly information. In a second touch mode, it receives report information sent by the assembly personnel.

[0018] An information processing unit is used to process the report information and, after receiving feedback information from an expert regarding the report information, send the feedback information to the virtual display unit so that the assembly personnel can perform assembly according to the feedback information.

[0019] Specifically, in practical applications, the prefabricated module assembly system provided in this application embodiment can generally include three stages, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 As shown:

[0020] Phase 1: Preliminary Modeling Phase. In this phase, the prefabricated modules required for the assembly of the prefabricated building can be broken down. In some examples, this breakdown can be based on the prefabricated building's structure, either professionally or functionally, to obtain assembly targets such as water, electricity, HVAC, and MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing). These assembly targets can then be further decomposed to obtain the actual target modules, and 3D design can be performed based on these modules, resulting in different virtual target modules. Subsequently, relevant personnel can embed these virtual target modules into the virtual display unit for a full-module scene display. In some examples, the virtual target modules can be tested and simulated using the virtual display unit. Only after successful testing and simulation can the module be officially put into use.

[0021] Phase Two: The Virtual Display Unit Usage Phase. In this phase, the virtual display unit can display a virtual target module corresponding to the real target module, allowing assemblers to assemble the module from details to the whole based on the assembly information displayed in the first touch mode. In some examples, the system can compare the various module parameters of the real target module with those of the virtual target module. Assemblers can scale, reduce, and rotate the virtual target module proportionally as needed, and even simulate assembly operations, providing comprehensive, multi-angle reference information. Assemblers can then combine this information with the reference information to assemble the real target module. If any problems are found during the assembly of the real target module, the assembler can activate the second touch mode to send a report, which the virtual display unit can then receive.

[0022] The third stage: Expert feedback stage. In this stage, experts can process the received report information based on the information processing unit. This includes troubleshooting, adaptability redesign, etc. The feedback information can then be sent to the virtual display unit. The assembly personnel can then continue assembly based on this feedback, completing the installation of individual assembly targets, and ultimately, the combined installation of all assembly targets.

[0023] In some examples, the actual target module can be a basic unit involved in the assembly project. Examples include functional room modules, equipment room modules, corridor modules, office modules, stairwell modules, and elevator modules.

[0024] In some embodiments of this application, the assembly information includes at least one or any combination of the following for the target module: installation process, node processing method, and precautions.

[0025] In some embodiments of this application, the virtual display unit is specifically a head-mounted augmented reality device or a head-mounted virtual reality device; the information processing unit is specifically a computer terminal device. In some practical application scenarios, the assembly personnel can wear the head-mounted augmented reality device or head-mounted virtual reality device and operate the corresponding real target module in real time according to the virtual target module of the head-mounted augmented reality device or head-mounted virtual reality device. In this example, whatever operation the assembly personnel perform on the virtual module is equivalent to what operation is performed on the corresponding real target module, and both are performed simultaneously.

[0026] In practical applications, the computer terminal device can be a display and operation platform set up in the assembly center, or a personal computer or mobile phone terminal; no specific limitation is made here.

[0027] In some examples, the report information may address assembly design issues of the virtual target module: for example, collision and interference problems between pipelines and walls or steel structure components of various disciplines; or operational limitations or errors in height or size during the assembly of the virtual target module. The report information may also address installation difficulties of the virtual target module: for example, the actual dimensions of the virtual target module material may be too large or too small, making integration and installation inconvenient; or the installation materials or tools that would normally be usable may be inconvenient to use due to the influence of other equipment or pipelines during the integration of the virtual target module.

[0028] In some examples, the report information may be presented as audio, video, or text. If the report information is audio, the processing may specifically involve noise reduction. If the report information is video, the processing may specifically involve resolution adjustment. If the report information is text, the processing may specifically involve formatting and / or keyword (word) annotation.

[0029] In some examples, the expert may be an intelligent expert system such as a robot customized according to the actual use scenario, or it may be an actual human expert; no specific limitation is made here.

[0030] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, when the virtual display unit is specifically a head-mounted augmented reality device or a head-mounted virtual reality device, the head-mounted augmented reality device or head-mounted virtual reality device is specifically used to display a virtual target module corresponding to the real target module according to the field of vision of the assembly personnel.

[0031] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, when the report information is specifically audio or video report information, the information processing unit is specifically used to convert the audio or video report information into text information, and after receiving feedback information generated by an expert based on the text information, send the feedback information to the virtual display unit so that the assembly personnel can perform assembly according to the feedback information. Thus, when the expert includes a human expert, the human expert can customize whether the audio or video report information needs to be converted into text information based on the specific scenario, allowing the human expert to provide feedback according to their own work style and habits.

[0032] In some examples, the feedback information is used to guide the assembler in performing professional operations regarding the connection methods, precautions, and assembly methods of the virtual target module.

[0033] In some cases, the system can also automatically store the report information.

[0034] It is not difficult to see that, compared with related technologies, the prefabricated module assembly system provided in this application, by virtualizing the real target module to obtain the corresponding virtual target module, can ensure the accuracy of the assembly process when the assembly personnel assemble according to the virtual target module. Because various problems encountered in the actual precise assembly control of the modules broken down in the prefabricated project, such as unclear assembly methods, impromptu assembly adjustment schemes, difficult-to-implement assembly of certain modules, or even assembly errors, can be fed back to the information processing unit in real time, experts can propose countermeasures based on the report information from the information processing unit and provide feedback to the assembly personnel. Furthermore, when the expert is a human expert, even if the human expert is not at the assembly site, they can still propose countermeasures based on the report information and provide feedback to the assembly personnel, which can largely solve the problem of long delays or even stagnation of the entire assembly progress caused by a certain problem, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of each module.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] In some embodiments of this application, the assembly system may further include a module splitting unit.

[0037] The module splitting unit is used to obtain splitting rules for splitting the assembly target into different real target modules; and to generate virtual target modules corresponding to the real target modules according to the splitting rules and the assembly target.

[0038] Specifically, in one implementation, the 3D construction of each virtual target module can be achieved through manual modeling. As a specific implementation, the assembly system can use its module splitting unit to obtain splitting rules for dividing the assembly target into different real target modules. Then, based on the splitting rules and the assembly target, it automatically splits the assembly target to generate virtual target modules corresponding to the real target modules.

[0039] In practical applications, relevant personnel can optimize and adjust the assembly target based on the results of the automatic splitting of the assembly target by the module splitting unit. This helps to provide strong assurance for the accuracy of the assembly process when assembling virtual target modules.

[0040] It is not difficult to see that the prefabricated module assembly system provided in this application embodiment automatically splits the assembly target through the module splitting unit to generate virtual target modules corresponding to the real target modules. This eliminates the need for each module to be implemented through manual modeling, which helps reduce labor costs and further improves the assembly efficiency of each module.

[0041] Example 3

[0042] In some embodiments of this application, the information processing unit is further configured to determine marking information based on the report information, mark the corresponding position of the virtual target module based on the marking information, and display the virtual target module with the corresponding marking, so that experts can issue feedback information on the marked virtual target module and the report information.

[0043] For example, if the report mainly mentions the problem of difficulty in aligning and connecting the center point of a certain virtual target module, the information processing unit can mark the center point, so that experts can provide feedback based on the marked virtual target module and the report information.

[0044] In some cases, the marking information can also be recorded in a parameterized or data-driven form. For example, if a pipeline is too close to other equipment for convenient installation, the information processing unit will parameterize the minimum acceptable installation spacing, which will then be adjusted by experts based on this minimum value to create a suitable value.

[0045] In some cases, multiple human experts can form an expert group, with different experts responsible for the assembly of different real-world target modules.

[0046] Furthermore, in some examples, the system can store matching and association information between experts and real target modules. In this way, the report information can be sent to the mobile phone of the human expert responsible for the corresponding real target module. Understandably, in this case, the information processing unit is equivalent to the mobile phone of the human expert.

[0047] It is not difficult to see that the prefabricated module assembly system provided in this application embodiment determines the marking information according to the report information and marks the corresponding position of the virtual target module according to the marking information, thereby displaying the virtual target module with the corresponding marking. This helps experts to quickly understand the key points of the report information, and thus helps experts to quickly give corresponding countermeasures and suggestions and feedback, which helps to further improve the assembly efficiency of each module.

[0051] Step S102: Process the report information, and after receiving feedback from the expert regarding the report information, send the feedback information to the virtual display unit so that the assembly personnel can perform assembly according to the feedback information.
