Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of curtain wall installation, and in particular to a curtain wall panel installation device and its installation method. Background Technology

[0002] With the advancement of modern urban development, urban economic centers have begun to construct many modern large and high-rise buildings. Curtain walls are usually a prominent feature of modern large and high-rise buildings. They are a beautiful and novel method of building wall decoration. They do not share the structural forces of the building with the main body and can play a good protective and decorative role on the exterior of the building.

[0003] In the construction and installation of curtain walls in related technologies, due to the size of the glass curtain walls, it is difficult to transport them to the upper floors by elevator. Therefore, a crane is needed to lift the glass curtain walls from the outside of the building to the corresponding floor. Then, a mechanical suction cup vehicle deployed on the corresponding floor is used to suction the glass curtain walls, thereby transporting the glass curtain walls to the floor where they are to be installed and installing them on the pre-set keel.

[0004] However, when the mechanical suction cup trolley in the relevant technology picks up the glass curtain wall for assembly, the crane will shake during the process of lifting the glass curtain wall. When the glass curtain wall is lifted to the corresponding floor and picked up by the mechanical suction cup trolley, there will be a certain deviation in the angle of the glass curtain wall adsorbed on the mechanical suction cup trolley, which will result in the glass curtain wall being uneven. Therefore, manual intervention is usually required to adjust it, thus affecting the installation efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the issue of existing mechanical suction cup vehicles having angle deviations when adsorbing glass curtain walls, resulting in uneven glass curtain walls requiring manual intervention and thus affecting installation efficiency, this application provides a curtain wall panel installation device and its installation method.

[0006] The curtain wall panel installation device provided in Embodiment 1 of this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A curtain wall panel installation device includes a vehicle body, a rotary mechanism mounted on the vehicle body, a boom mounted on the rotary mechanism, a movable mechanism mounted on the boom, and a suction cup mechanism mounted on the movable mechanism. A support platform is mounted on the rotary mechanism, and a clamping mechanism is provided on the support platform. The clamping mechanism includes two mounting shells slidably mounted on the support platform, a telescopic arm opposite to one side of the mounting shell, a clamping assembly mounted on the telescopic arm, an X-axis telescopic assembly for driving the telescopic arm to extend and retract in the X-axis direction, and a Y-axis telescopic assembly for driving the telescopic arm to extend and retract in the Y-axis direction. The clamping assembly includes a clamping cylinder mounted on the telescopic arm, a connecting block connected to the piston rod of the clamping cylinder, two swing links rotatably mounted on a sliding block, a sliding block hinged to the swing links, a sliding rail slidingly engaged with the sliding block, and a gripper mounted on the sliding block.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the crane lifts the glass curtain wall to the corresponding floor, the vehicle body is brought close to the glass curtain wall. At this time, the telescopic arm is driven to extend and retract along the Y-axis direction through the Y-axis telescopic component until the telescopic arm is flush with the glass curtain wall. Then, the telescopic arm is driven to extend and retract along the X-axis direction through the X-axis telescopic component until it abuts against the glass curtain wall. The two ends of the glass curtain wall are flush with the abutting force of the telescopic arm. Then, the clamping cylinder is driven. The telescopic rod of the clamping cylinder retracts while driving the connecting block to retract. As a result, the connecting block drives the swing link to swing along the retraction direction of the telescopic rod. The swing link drives the sliding block to slide along the sliding rail. At this time, the two sliding blocks move closer to each other, so the sliding blocks drive the jaws to abut against each other. At this time, the jaws are in a clamping state with the glass curtain wall. The telescopic arm is controlled to extend and retract in the X-axis and Y-axis directions respectively by the X-axis telescopic assembly and the Y-axis telescopic assembly, so that the clamping assembly is kept flush with the glass curtain wall in the X-axis direction, and the telescopic arm is driven to keep the glass curtain wall in a flush state, which facilitates subsequent installation. Finally, the clamping cylinder drives the linkage structure to keep the jaws and the glass curtain wall in a clamping state.

[0009] Optionally, the X-axis telescopic assembly includes a rotary motor mounted on the support platform, a rotary shaft rotatably connected to the output end of the rotary motor, a worm sleeve sleeved on the rotary shaft, a worm wheel mounted in the mounting housing, and a telescopic lead screw connected to the worm wheel. The telescopic lead screw is threadedly connected to the telescopic arm, and the worm wheel meshes with the worm sleeve.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating motor is started, which drives the rotating shaft to rotate. At the same time, the rotating shaft drives the worm gear to rotate, and the telescopic screw rotates, thereby realizing the extension and retraction of the telescopic arm along the Y-axis.

[0011] Optionally, a sliding block is provided inside the worm gear sleeve, and a sliding groove is provided on the rotating shaft for the sliding block to slide and engage. The Y-axis telescopic assembly includes a drive motor mounted on the support platform and a bidirectional lead screw rotatably connected to the output end of the drive motor. The bidirectional lead screw is threadedly connected to the mounting shell.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive motor is started, and the drive motor drives the bidirectional lead screw to rotate. Since the two ends of the bidirectional lead screw are threadedly connected to the mounting shell, the two mounting shells slide synchronously along the X-axis direction while the bidirectional lead screw rotates.

[0013] Optionally, the gripper is provided with a buffer pad.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the buffer pad is used to reduce the presence of clamp marks on the glass curtain wall when the gripper is holding it.

[0015] Optionally, the vehicle body includes a frame and a cover mounted on the frame. A chassis is mounted on the cover, a plurality of wheels are mounted on the chassis, and a support mechanism is mounted on the chassis.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the vehicle moves close to the glass curtain wall, it is necessary to stop the movement of the vehicle. At this time, the support mechanism is used to support the vehicle in case of slippage when it stops.

[0017] Optionally, the support mechanism includes a mounting base disposed at the bottom of the frame, an arc-shaped groove formed on the mounting base, and a support member that slides and engages with the arc-shaped groove. The mounting base has two fixing holes communicating with the arc-shaped groove. The support member includes an inner push block located at the bottom of the mounting base, an outer push block sleeved on the inner push block, fixing bolts passing through the inner push block and the outer push block, and a support leg disposed on the outer push block. The fixing bolts pass through the arc-shaped groove, and a compression spring is disposed between the outer push block and the inner push block.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when the support leg needs to be adjusted to the retracted state, a pushing force is required to the outward push block. At this time, the compression spring is compressed. When the fixing bolt slides to the top fixing hole, the compression spring releases its elastic potential energy without being pushed, and pushes the fixing bolt to engage with the top fixing hole. When the fixing bolt slides to the bottom fixing hole, the compression spring releases its elastic potential energy without being pushed, and pushes the fixing bolt to engage with the bottom fixing hole. At this time, the support leg is adjusted to the supported state.

[0019] Optionally, the support leg is provided with an adjusting block, and the adjusting block is provided with an adjusting screw, the adjusting screw being threadedly engaged with the adjusting block.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the ground is uneven or the support leg is too short to make contact with the ground, the distance between the adjusting block and the support leg can be increased by adjusting the adjusting screw, thereby solving the problem of the ground being uneven or the support leg being too short to make contact with the ground.

[0021] Optionally, the boom includes a swing boom hinged to the turntable and a telescopic boom slidably disposed on the swing boom. The turntable mechanism is provided with a swing cylinder and a telescopic cylinder. The swing cylinder drives the swing boom to swing vertically, and the telescopic cylinder drives the telescopic boom to extend and retract along the length direction of the swing boom.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the swing cylinder drives the swing arm to swing vertically, raising the swing arm to a suitable angle with the glass curtain wall. The telescopic cylinder drives the telescopic arm to extend and retract along the length of the swing arm, thereby adjusting the angle and length of the arm to adapt to the installation of the glass curtain wall.

[0023] Optionally, the movable mechanism includes a longitudinal tilting device connected to the telescopic boom and a lateral tilting device connected to the longitudinal tilting device. The lateral tilting device is connected to the suction cup mechanism. The longitudinal tilting device is used to drive the lateral tilting device to tilt vertically, and the lateral tilting device is used to drive the suction cup mechanism to tilt horizontally.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the suction cup structure can be flipped horizontally and vertically using the horizontal and vertical flipping devices, thereby adapting to the installation of glass curtain walls at different angles.

[0025] Embodiment 2 of this application provides a method for installing curtain wall panels:

[0026] S1: Use a crane to lift the glass curtain wall from the construction site to the floor where it needs to be installed, start the vehicle and approach the glass curtain wall, and stop the vehicle after reaching the destination;

[0027] S2: Change the support leg from the retracted state to the supported state and adjust the length of the support leg according to the terrain so that the support leg is in contact with the ground;

[0028] S3: Adjust the angle of the suction cup mechanism through the moving mechanism to make the suction cup mechanism flush with the glass curtain wall, and start the swing cylinder to raise the swing arm to a suitable angle with the glass curtain wall.

[0029] S4: Start the Y-axis drive motor to extend and retract the telescopic arm in the Y-axis direction until the gripper assembly is flush with the glass curtain wall in the X-axis direction. Start the X-axis rotation motor to extend and retract the mounting housing in the X-axis direction until the telescopic arm abuts against the glass curtain wall and flattens the glass. Start the clamping cylinder to drive the gripper to clamp and stabilize the glass curtain wall. Then start the telescopic cylinder to make the telescopic arm drive suction cup mechanism abut against the glass curtain wall and adsorb it.

[0030] S5: Stop the clamping cylinder, cancel the clamping action of the gripper on the glass curtain wall, start the X-axis rotation motor and Y-axis drive motor respectively, and drive the telescopic arm away from the glass curtain wall in both the X-axis and Y-axis directions;

[0031] S6: The angle of the suction cup mechanism is adjusted by the movable mechanism so that the glass curtain wall can enter the floor. The angle of the suction cup mechanism is adjusted again by the movable mechanism so that the glass curtain wall is rotated to a suitable installation angle. The vehicle is driven forward, and the construction personnel support and align it with the keel and install and fix it. After the installation is completed, the suction cup mechanism is removed from the curtain wall glass.

[0032] By employing the above technical solution, X-axis and Y-axis telescopic components are used to extend and retract the telescopic arm in the X and Y directions, thereby controlling the clamping components to be flush with and abut against the glass curtain wall, thus keeping the glass in a level state. Swing cylinders and telescopic cylinders drive the swing arm to match the height of the glass curtain wall, and then drive the telescopic cylinder to abut against the glass curtain wall, where it is adhered by a suction cup mechanism. Considering the installation site, the glass curtain wall can also be rotated longitudinally and laterally using a movable mechanism to adapt to different installation sites. After adsorption, the X-axis and Y-axis telescopic components are used again to move the telescopic arm away from the glass curtain wall, facilitating subsequent installation of the glass curtain wall onto the keel.

[0033] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0034] 1. The telescopic arm is controlled to extend and retract in the X-axis and Y-axis directions respectively by the X-axis telescopic assembly and the Y-axis telescopic assembly, so that the clamping assembly and the glass curtain wall are kept flush in the X-axis direction, and the telescopic arm is driven to keep the glass curtain wall in a flush state, which facilitates subsequent installation. Finally, the clamping cylinder drives the linkage structure to keep the jaws and the glass curtain wall in a clamping state.

[0035] 2. The swing cylinder drives the swing boom to swing vertically, and the telescopic cylinder drives the telescopic boom to extend and retract along the length of the swing boom, thereby adjusting the angle and length of the boom to adapt to the installation of glass curtain wall glass.

[0045] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-8 This application will be described in further detail.

[0046] A curtain wall panel installation device, as described in the following example Figure 1 It includes a vehicle body 11, a support mechanism 12, a slewing mechanism 16, a boom 17, a movable mechanism 22, a suction cup mechanism 23, and a clamping mechanism 25. (Refer to...) Figure 2 Specifically, the vehicle body 11 includes a chassis 113, a cover 112 mounted on the chassis 113, and a frame 111 mounted inside the cover 112. The cover 112 is square in shape and is used to protect the internal structure of the frame 111. Two wheels 114 are mounted on each of the two opposite sides of the chassis 113. The wheels 114 are used to move the vehicle body 11. Typically, an engine for driving the wheels 114 is mounted on the frame 111. It should be understood that the engine is prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0047] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The support mechanism 12 is mounted on the chassis 113 and is used to prevent the vehicle body 11 from slipping during the stopping process. Figure 3 The support mechanism 12 includes a mounting base 121 mounted on the bottom of the chassis 113, an arc-shaped groove 122 formed on the mounting base 121, two fixing holes 124 formed on the mounting base 121, and a support member 123 that slides and engages with the arc-shaped groove 122. The arc-shaped groove 122 is inclined upwards and extends through two opposite sides of the mounting base 121. The two fixing holes 124 both extend through two opposite sides of the mounting base 121 and communicate with both ends of the arc-shaped groove 122.

[0048] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The support member 123 includes a support leg 1234 for supporting the vehicle body 11, an outer push block 1232 mounted on the support leg 1234, an inner push block 1231 sleeved on the outer push block 1232, a compression spring 13 mounted between the inner push block 1231 and the outer push block 1232, and fixing bolts 1233 disposed on the outer push block 1232 and the inner push block 1231. The fixing bolts 1233 pass through two opposite sides of the outer push block 1232 and the inner push block 1231 and slide through the arc-shaped groove 122. The support leg 1234 is cylindrical and is mounted on the side of the outer push block 1232 opposite to the inner push block 1231. Both the inner push block 1231 and the outer push block 1232 are square, and the outer push block 1232 can slide relative to the length of the inner push block 1231. One end of the compression spring 13 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the inner push block 1231 facing the mounting base 121, and the other end is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the outer push block 1232 facing the inner push block 1231.

[0049] Reference Figure 3 When the fixing bolt 1233 is engaged with the top fixing hole 124, the compression spring 13 is in its natural state, and the support leg 1234 is parallel to the length direction of the cover 112 and is in a retracted state. When it is necessary to make the support leg 1234 perpendicular to the length direction of the cover 112 and in a supported state, the outer push block 1232 needs to be pushed to cancel the engagement between the fixing bolt 1233 and the top fixing hole 124. At this time, the compression spring 13 is pushed and is in a compressed state. Then, it slides relative to the arc groove 122 to the bottom fixing hole 124. When the fixing bolt 1233 slides to the top fixing hole 124, the compression spring 13 releases its elastic potential energy and pushes the outer push block 1232 to slide outward relative to the length direction of the inner push block 1231. At this time, the fixing bolt 1233 slides into the top fixing hole 124, thereby achieving the purpose of the support leg 1234 being parallel to the length direction of the cover 112 and in a retracted state.

[0050] Reference Figure 3 An adjusting block 14 is installed at the bottom of the support leg 1234, and an adjusting screw 15 is installed on the side of the adjusting block 14 near the support leg 1234. The support leg 1234 and the adjusting block 14 are threadedly connected by the adjusting screw 15. The adjusting screw 15 is used to control the distance between the support leg 1234 and the adjusting block 14, reducing the possibility that the support leg 1234 may not be able to make contact with the ground when the ground is uneven.

[0051] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The slewing mechanism 16 is mounted on the top of the vehicle cover 112 and is rotatably connected to the boom 17.

[0060] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 8 Specifically, the clamping assembly 255 includes a clamping cylinder 2551 mounted on the end of the telescopic arm 254 away from the mounting housing 251, a connecting block 2552 connected to the piston rod of the clamping cylinder 2551, two swing links 2553 rotatably mounted on the connecting block 2552, a sliding block 2554 hinged to the swing links 2553, a sliding rail 2555 slidingly engaged with the sliding block 2554, and a gripper 2556 mounted on the sliding block 2554. The sliding rail 2555 is square and mounted on the end of the telescopic arm 254 away from the mounting housing 251. The sliding block 2554 slides along the length of the sliding rail 2555. A buffer pad 34 is mounted on the gripper 2556 to reduce clamping marks on the glass curtain wall when clamping it. A limiting block 35 is installed in the groove of the slide rail 2555 to prevent the gripper 2556 from falling off the slide rail 27.

[0061] The principle of this embodiment is as follows: A crane lifts the glass curtain wall from the construction site to the floor where it needs to be installed. The engine is started, causing the wheels 114 to rotate and driving the vehicle body 11 closer to the glass curtain wall. Then, the construction workers slide the fixing bolts 1233 into the lowest fixing hole 124, and the support legs 1234 are in a supporting state, supporting the vehicle body 11. The swing cylinder 18 is driven, causing the swing arm 171 to swing vertically to a suitable height with the glass curtain wall. The drive motor 2531 is then turned, which drives the rotating shaft 2522 to rotate. The rotating shaft 2522 rotates simultaneously, causing the worm gear sleeve 2523 to rotate, thereby causing the worm wheel 2524 to rotate. Since the worm wheel 2524 is rotatably connected to the telescopic screw 2525, the telescopic screw 2525 rotates simultaneously with the worm wheel 2524, causing the telescopic arm 254 to extend in the Y-axis direction until it is in the same X-axis direction as the glass curtain wall. The rotating motor 2521 is activated, which drives the bidirectional lead screw to rotate, thereby driving the two mounting shells 251 to slide in opposite directions along the X-axis, bringing the gripper 2556 closer to the glass curtain wall. At this time, the telescopic rod 21 of the clamping cylinder 2551 is activated to retract, simultaneously driving the connecting block 2552 to retract. The connecting block 2552 then drives the swing link 2553 to swing along the retraction direction of the telescopic rod 21. The swing link 2553 drives the sliding block 2554 to slide along the sliding rail 2555. The two sliding blocks 2554 then move closer together, causing the gripper 2556 to abut against each other, thus clamping the glass curtain wall. The telescopic cylinder 20 is activated, bringing the telescopic boom 172 closer to the glass curtain wall, and the suction cup 232 adsorbs the glass curtain wall. After adsorption is complete, the clamping cylinder 2551 is activated, the gripper 2556 is released from clamping the glass curtain wall, and the drive motor 2531 and the rotation motor 2521 are started respectively, so that the telescopic arm 254 moves away from the glass curtain wall in the X and Y axis directions. The installer adjusts the horizontal and vertical flip angle of the glass curtain wall through the movable mechanism 22 to find the angle suitable for the keel installation and then performs the installation.

[0062] Example 2:

[0063] This application also discloses a method for installing a curtain wall panel, which is used to install a curtain wall panel installation device as described in Embodiment 1, and includes the following steps:

[0064] S1: The glass curtain wall is lowered from the construction site to the floor where it needs to be installed by a crane. The vehicle body 11 is started and approaches the glass curtain wall. After reaching the destination, the vehicle body 11 stops moving forward.

[0065] S2: Change the support leg 1234 from the retracted state to the supported state and adjust the length of the support leg 1234 according to the terrain so that the support leg 1234 is in contact with the ground;

[0066] S3: Adjust the angle of the suction cup mechanism 23 through the movable mechanism 22 so that the suction cup mechanism 23 is flush with the glass curtain wall, and start the swing cylinder 18 to raise the swing arm 171 to a suitable angle with the glass curtain wall.

[0067] S4: Start the Y-axis drive motor 2531 to drive the telescopic arm 254 to extend and retract in the Y-axis direction until the gripper 2556 assembly is flush with the glass curtain wall in the X-axis direction. Start the X-axis rotation motor 2521 to drive the mounting housing 251 to extend and retract in the X-axis direction until the telescopic arm 254 abuts against the glass curtain wall and flattens the glass. Start the clamping cylinder 2551 to drive the gripper 2556 to clamp and stabilize the glass curtain wall. Then start the telescopic cylinder 20 to drive the telescopic arm 172 to drive the suction cup mechanism 23 to abut against the glass curtain wall and adsorb it.

[0068] S5: Stop the clamping cylinder 2551, cancel the clamping effect of the gripper 2556 on the glass curtain wall, start the X-axis rotation motor 2521 and the Y-axis drive motor 2531 respectively, and drive the telescopic arm 254 away from the glass curtain wall in both the X-axis and Y-axis directions.

[0069] S6: The angle of the suction cup mechanism 23 is adjusted by the movable mechanism 22 so that the glass curtain wall can enter the floor. The angle of the suction cup mechanism 23 is adjusted again by the movable mechanism 22 so that the glass curtain wall is rotated to a suitable installation angle. The vehicle body 11 is driven forward, and the construction personnel support and align it with the keel and install and fix it. After the installation is completed, the suction cup mechanism 23 is removed from adhering to the curtain wall glass.

[0070] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
