[0060] Furthermore, the tension cable drive gimbal mechanism 3 also includes a pitch angle cable drive unit 6 for adjusting the rotation angle of the second arm 37, a horizontal rotation cable drive unit 7 for driving the horizontal rotation motion platform 35 to translate along the direction defined by the arc track 31, and a tension cable drive unit 8 for connecting the tension wheel 371 and the connecting bracket 2.

[0061] Specifically, such as Figure 2As shown, the tensioning flexible cable drive unit 8 includes a first flexible cable 81, a first spool 82, and a first motor 83. One end of the first flexible cable 81 is connected to the first spool 82, and the other end of the first flexible cable 81 is connected to the upper frame 21 of the connecting bracket 2 after passing through the tensioning wheel 371. The first motor 83 drives the first spool 82 to rotate, thereby driving the first flexible cable 81 to wind up and down. More specifically, the output end of the first motor 83 is connected to the drive shaft of the first spool through a pair of reduction gears. During operation, the first motor 83 drives the first spool 82 to rotate, thereby pulling the first flexible cable 81 connected to the end concrete spraying head mechanism 1 and providing tension.

[0062] Specifically, such as Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9As shown, the horizontal angle flexible cable drive unit 7 includes a second flexible cable 71, a third flexible cable 72, a second spool 73, and a second motor 74. The drive shaft of the second spool 73 is vertically connected to the Y-shaped support frame 32 via bearings, and the central axis of the drive shaft of the second spool 73 passes through the center of the arc track 31. The second spool 73 has a double-spool structure. The second flexible cable 71 and the third flexible cable 72 are wound side by side on the second spool 73 in opposite directions. One end of each of the second flexible cable 71 and the third flexible cable 72 is connected to the second spool 73, and the other end of each is connected to the two ends of the horizontal angle motion platform 35. The second motor 74 drives the second spool 73 to rotate, thereby driving the second flexible cable 71 and the third flexible cable 72 to achieve a closed-loop transmission of winding and unwinding. More specifically, one end of the second flexible cable 71 is fixed to the second spool 73, and the other end of the second flexible cable 71 passes through the first steering pulley 331 provided on the first track support 33 and enters the flexible cable groove 314 and is finally fixed to the first fixing hole 3541 on the horizontal cornering motion platform 35. One end of the third flexible cable 72 is fixed to the second spool 73, and the other end of the third flexible cable 72 passes through the second steering pulley 341 provided on the second track support 34 and enters the flexible cable groove 314 and is finally fixed to the second fixing hole 3542 on the horizontal cornering motion platform 35. During operation, the second motor 74 drives the second spool 73 to rotate via a pair of reduction gears. Since the second flexible rope 71 and the third flexible rope 72 are wound in opposite directions on the second spool 73, when the rotation of the second spool 73 causes the second flexible rope 71 to become longer, the third flexible rope 72 becomes shorter, and vice versa. However, the absolute value of the length change of the second flexible rope 71 and the third flexible rope 72 remains consistent to maximize accuracy. The rotation of the second spool 73 synchronously pulls the second flexible cable 71 and the third flexible cable 72. One of the flexible cables 71 and 72 provides tension, while the other provides tautness. The horizontal rotation platform 35 can drive the first arm 36 connected to it to translate along the direction defined by the arc track 31. That is, the first arm 36 rotates horizontally along the drive shaft of the second spool 73. At the same time as the first arm 36 rotates, the second arm 27 rotates synchronously. In this way, the position and direction of the tension wheel 371 can be adjusted in conjunction with the pitch angle flexible cable drive unit 6. After the three sets of tension force flexible cable drive gimbal mechanisms 3 in this embodiment are installed, their projections in the same horizontal plane should form an arbitrary triangular shape. The horizontal rotation angle flexible cable drive unit 7 can make the tension wheel 371 point to the center of the circumcircle of the triangle to ensure the stable operation of the printer during operation.

[0063] Specifically, such as Figure 18 , Figure 19 , Figure 20 , Figure 21As shown, the pitch angle flexible cable drive unit 6 includes a fourth flexible cable 61, a fifth flexible cable 62, a third spool 63, and a third motor 64. The fourth flexible cable 61 and the fifth flexible cable 62 are wound side by side on the third spool 63 in opposite directions. One end of the fourth flexible cable 61 is connected to the third spool 63, and the other end of the fourth flexible cable 61 is wound in the opposite direction through the pulley group and reversing wheel group on the joint assembly 5 and then fixed to the first arm body 36. One end of the fifth flexible cable 62 is connected to the third spool 63, and the other end of the fifth flexible cable 62 is wound in the forward direction through the pulley group and reversing wheel group on the joint assembly 5 and then fixed to the first arm body 36. The third motor 64 drives the third spool 63 to rotate so as to drive the fourth flexible cable 61 and the fifth flexible cable 62 to achieve a closed-loop transmission of winding and unwinding. More specifically, one end of the fourth flexible cable 61 is fixed to the third spool 63, and the other end of the fourth flexible cable 61 passes through the conductor tube 369 and then sequentially winds around the first groove of the first pulley 54, the first reversing wheel 5311, the first groove of the second pulley 55, the sixth reversing wheel 366, the first groove of the third pulley 56, the second reversing wheel 5312, and the first groove of the fourth pulley 57 before being connected and fixed to the flexible cable fixing hole 362 on the first arm body 36. One end of the fifth flexible cable 62 is fixed to the third spool 63, and the other end of the fifth flexible cable 62 enters the first flexible cable hole 3641, the first guide wheel 381, the second wheel groove of the first pulley 54, the third reversing wheel 5321, the second wheel groove of the second pulley 55, the second guide wheel 382, ​​the second flexible cable hole 3642, the fifth reversing wheel 365, the third flexible cable hole 3643, the third guide wheel 383, the second wheel groove of the third pulley 56, the fourth reversing wheel 5322, the second wheel groove of the fourth pulley 57, the fourth guide wheel 384, and the fourth flexible cable hole 3644 along the guide wire groove, and then connects and fixes to the flexible cable fixing member 367. During operation, the third motor 64 drives the third spool 63 to rotate through a pair of reduction gears. At this time, one of the fourth flexible cable 61 and the fifth flexible cable 62 provides tension, and the other provides tautness, so as to complete the rotation of the joint assembly 5, that is, the pitch angle of the second arm 37 can be adjusted and the current position can be maintained.

[0064] The usage process of this invention is as follows:

[0065] Before printing begins, arrange the printer's various mechanisms in their working positions according to the work area. Then, fix the three sets of tension cable-driven pan-tilt mechanisms to the wall or ceiling, and locate the triangle formed by the projection positions of the three on the same horizontal plane and the center of its circumscribed circle. The second motor in the horizontal angle cable drive unit controls the rotation of the second spool, causing the second and third cables to retract and release alternately. At this time, the horizontal angle motion platform, pulled by the second and third cables, drives the second arm to rotate horizontally, pointing the tension wheel towards the center of the circumscribed circle. Further, the third motor in the pitch angle cable drive unit is driven to rotate the third spool. The rotation of the third spool, through the fourth and fifth cables, causes the second arm to change its pitch angle. By adjusting the pitch angle, the tension wheels in the three sets of tension cable-driven pan-tilt mechanisms are kept at the same height.

[0066] Three sets of active power cable drive mechanisms are respectively arranged on the ground along the vertical lines of the three sets of tension cable drive gimbal mechanisms, and all point towards the center of the circumcircle of the triangle formed by their positions. The six flexible cables of the three active power cable drive mechanisms are connected to the lower support of the connecting bracket. The three first flexible cables controlled by the three tension cable drive gimbal mechanisms are connected to the upper support of the connecting bracket. The upper and lower supports are connected by three evenly distributed columns, which fix the end concrete nozzle mechanism. The feed port of the end concrete nozzle mechanism is connected to a concrete transport pipe. A certain length of the transport pipe connected to the feed port must be in a vertical position to minimize the force exerted on the end concrete nozzle mechanism during printing, thus ensuring printing accuracy. Before printing, the six flexible cables and the three first flexible cables must be in a taut state to suspend the end concrete nozzle mechanism in mid-air. The controller transmits instructions to each motor according to the motion trajectory required for printing. The motor drives each winding drum to rotate, thereby realizing the winding and unwinding of the corresponding flexible cables, and thus driving the end concrete nozzle mechanism to move to achieve 3D printing.

[0067] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0068] 1) This invention makes full use of the flexible cable drive characteristics, greatly simplifies the structure of large 3D building printers so that they can be assembled and used anytime and anywhere, and realizes the function of 3D building printing under various spatial conditions.

[0069] 2) The gimbal mechanism of the present invention enables it to adapt to the workplace and adjust the attitude of the pitch angle unit in real time during operation, so that the entire mechanism has a larger working space.

[0070] 3) This invention adopts a modular unit structure, which allows for the replacement of parts of different units for different workplaces to meet the required working conditions.

[0071] 4) The end effector of the present invention includes, but is not limited to, a concrete spray nozzle. By changing the end effector under different needs, more different functions can be achieved.

[0072] 5) The present invention has a simple and lightweight structure, and its manufacturing cost is far lower than that of existing rigid structure large building printers.
