Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of architectural engineering technology, specifically relating to a tool and method for laying out arc-shaped components. Background Technology

[0002] In modern architectural design, increasingly flexible and varied irregular shapes are adopted for facades, with arc-shaped structures widely used in various types of buildings. The setting of control points for the planar positions of arc-shaped buildings and components, as well as the upward transfer of axes, often employs a method combining dividing the chord of the arc between each coordinate point on the drawing into several equal parts and measuring the distance from the arc to the chord. That is, a coordinate point is determined at each end of an arc, and a straight line is drawn between these two points, dividing this line into several equal segments, which can be 500mm, 1000mm, or 2000mm (depending on the arc's curvature). When measuring on-site, care must be taken to ensure the measuring tape is perpendicular to the line connecting adjacent coordinate points. This method is labor-intensive, requiring significant manpower and time, has a slow layout speed, and struggles to achieve the required accuracy in measurement and layout. Summary of the Invention

[0042] See Figure 1As shown, one embodiment of this application provides a tool for laying out arc-shaped components, mainly including a tripod 10, a laser plumb line 20, a first upright 30, a crossbar 40, a second upright 50, and a marking mechanism 60. The tripod 10 is placed on the ground, and the laser plumb line 20 is mounted on the tripod 10 and perpendicular to the ground. The first upright 30 is also perpendicular to the ground, and its lower end is connected to the laser plumb line 20; the first upright 30 and the laser plumb line 20 are rotatably connected. The crossbar 40 is connected to the upper end of the first upright 30 and is perpendicular to it. The second upright 50 is also perpendicular to the ground, and its upper end is connected to the crossbar 40. The marking mechanism 60 is installed at the lower end of the second upright 50, in contact with the ground, and is used for marking lines. When using the aforementioned arc-shaped component layout tool for layout, firstly, the center and radius of the arc-shaped component are determined according to the drawings, and the center is located on the ground using a total station; then, the position of the tripod 10 is adjusted so that the laser point of the laser plumb bob 20 coincides with the center point on the ground; the distance between the first upright 30 and the second upright 50 is adjusted to the design radius of the arc-shaped component; finally, the marking mechanism 60 is pushed to rotate around the tripod 10 for layout. This application uses the laser plumb bob 20 to locate the center, and then uses the tripod 10, the first upright 30, the crossbar 40, the second upright 50, and the marking mechanism 60 to form a "compass" structure. It utilizes the principle of determining the circle using the center and radius to perform arc-shaped layout, simplifying the arc-shaped component measurement and layout process, shortening the layout time, reducing labor input, improving the construction efficiency of arc-shaped component layout, ensuring the accuracy of the arc positioning line, reducing the construction difficulty of arc-shaped component measurement and layout, and effectively solving the problem of low efficiency in arc-shaped layout in existing technologies.

[0043] See Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, there are two second uprights 50, arranged along the length of the crossbar 40. The upper end of each second upright 50 is connected to the crossbar 40, and the lower end of each second upright 50 is also equipped with a marking mechanism 60. Similarly, there can be multiple second uprights 50, which can realize multi-segment arc layout with the same center, and is flexible and versatile with strong applicability.

[0044] In some embodiments, the crossbar 40 may be a telescopic bar, which allows for easy adjustment of the radius to accommodate various radii.

[0045] Further, see Figure 5 As shown, insert sleeves 42 are provided at both ends of the crossbar 40. When in use, the insert sleeves 42 are inserted and connected to the first upright 30 and the second upright 50. After use, they can be pulled out. It can be quickly assembled, reused, and does not take up space when stored.

[0046] Furthermore, the first upright 30 and the second upright 50 can also be telescopic poles, which makes their adjustment more flexible and applicable, especially suitable for various slopes or uneven ground.

[0047] See Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the laser plumb line 20 includes a laser plumb line body 21 and a first connecting rod 23. The laser plumb line body 21 is mounted on a tripod 10 via leveling screws 22. The first connecting rod 23 is rotatably mounted on the laser plumb line body 21 via bearings 25. The upper end of the first connecting rod 23 is used to connect to the first upright post 30. The connection between the first connecting rod 23 and the first upright post 30 via the bearings 25 allows for free rotation, and the laser plumb line body 21 can be leveled by adjusting the leveling screws 22.

[0048] Furthermore, a level 24 is mounted on the upper surface of the foot screw 22. By adjusting the foot screw 22 and observing the level 24, the laser plumb bob body 21 can be leveled, ensuring that the laser plumb bob body 21 is perpendicular to the ground.

[0049] See Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the marking mechanism 60 includes a second connecting rod 61, a marking pen 62 is provided at the lower end of the second connecting rod 61, the upper end of the second connecting rod 61 is connected to the second upright 50, and the marking pen 62 contacts the ground to realize marking.

[0050] Furthermore, the lower end of the second connecting rod 61 is connected to the marking pen 62 via an elastic connector 63. Specifically, the elastic connector 63 can be a spring, with its upper and lower ends connected to the lower end of the second connecting rod 61 and the upper end of the marking pen 62, respectively, forming a floating marking pen 62 that can adapt to uneven ground.

[0051] Furthermore, the lower end of the second connecting rod 61 is also equipped with a caster wheel 65. The caster wheel 65 is connected to the second connecting rod 61 through the support leg 64. When the caster wheel 65 is in contact with the ground, the marking pen 62 must also be in contact with the ground. The caster wheel 65 is used to move on the ground, plays a supporting role, and can maintain the stability of the marking mechanism 60.

[0052] Furthermore, a pair of casters 65 are provided at the lower end of the second connecting rod 61, and the straight line formed by the pair of casters 65 and the second connecting rod 61 is parallel to the crossbar 40. The use of dual-wheel walking support makes the movement of the marking mechanism 60 more stable.

[0053] See Figure 1 As shown, based on the above-mentioned arc-shaped component layout tool for laying out arc-shaped components, this application also provides a method for laying out arc-shaped components, including the following steps:

[0054] S100. First, find the center and radius of the arc-shaped component according to the design drawings. Use a total station to locate the center of the arc-shaped component on the ground and mark it.

[0055] S200. Assemble the tripod 10 and the laser plumb bob 20. Place the tripod 10 at the marked location and adjust the position of the tripod 10 and the foot screws 22 so that the laser point of the laser plumb bob 20 coincides with the center point.

[0056] S300. Assemble the first upright 30, the crossbar 40, and the second upright 50. Install the marking mechanism 60 at the lower end of the second upright 50. Then, install the first upright 30 on the laser plumb line 20. Adjust the distance between the first upright 30 and the second upright 50 according to the radius of the arc-shaped component (this can be achieved by adjusting the length of the crossbar 40) so that it matches the radius of the arc-shaped component.

[0057] S400, finally push the marking mechanism 60 to rotate around the tripod 10 and the laser plumb line 20, and the marking pen 62 marks the ground to lay out.

[0058] The arc-shaped component layout method provided in this application uses the aforementioned arc-shaped component layout tool to lay out the arc-shaped component. A laser plumb line 20 is used to locate the center of the circle. Then, a "compass" structure is formed by a tripod 10, a first upright 30, a horizontal bar 40, a second upright 50, and a marking mechanism 60. The principle of defining a circle by its center and radius is used for arc-shaped layout, simplifying the arc-shaped component measurement and layout process, shortening the layout time, reducing manual labor, improving the construction efficiency of arc-shaped component layout, ensuring the accuracy of the arc positioning line, and reducing the construction difficulty of arc-shaped component measurement and layout.
