They are used only for the convenience of describing the invention and do not require the invention to be constructed and operated in a specific orientation; therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention. The terms "connected" and "linked" used in this invention should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection or a detachable connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through intermediate components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms according to the specific circumstances.

[0034] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0035] Example

[0036] Step S1: Erect full-courtyard scaffolding;

[0037] Step S2, steel component processing: First, cut the intersecting pipe openings, then connect the steel components to the required length according to the requirements, and label each steel component so that the steel components can be painted and hoisted in sequence.

[0038] Step S2.1: Use software to complete the data such as the length and intersection line of the steel components and generate the cutting drawing;

[0039] Step S2.2: The unfolded diagram of the intersection line is drawn on a transparent plastic film at a 1:1 scale using a computer to create a template for inspection. The template is marked with the pipe fitting number. During inspection, the template is placed tightly against the pipe opening of the intersection line according to the "top, bottom, left, right" line markings to check the degree of fit. A designated person is assigned to check the length in the drawing to inspect each cut rod and fill in the record.

[0040] Step S2.3: Since the length of the purchased steel pipes is generally 12m, some steel components need to be extended by butt joints.

[0041] Step S3, refer to Figure 1 On the foundation platform 1 of the dome, the line was laid out and the anchor point 2 of the steel component along the meridian was marked.

[0042] Step S4, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The positioning and erection mechanism is hoisted on the foundation platform 1. Then, the main steel components in the longitudinal direction are hoisted and erected sequentially at the corresponding anchor points 2 using the hoisting and positioning and erection mechanism. During the hoisting and erection, the steel components are fixed to the corresponding anchor points 2.

[0043] Step S4.1, the positioning and erection mechanism includes: a movable frame, a support arm and a lift 7. The movable frame is a pair, and the two movable frames are positioned opposite each other at both ends of the support arm and are offset from it. The two movable frames are set on different sides, which is to facilitate the subsequent overall rotation of the positioning and erection mechanism.

[0044] Step S4.2, the support arm includes: a support plate 8 and a side plate 9. The support plate 8 is arc-shaped to adapt to the shape of the main steel component. The side plates 9 are arranged in pairs, with the two side plates 9 corresponding to each other on both sides of the support plate 8 along the length direction of the support plate 8. The two ends of the support arm face the anchor point 2 on the foundation platform 1. The middle part of the side plate 9 is provided with a notch so that the main steel components can be butt welded together.

[0045] Step S4.3, the movable frame includes: a limiting plate 10, a base plate 11, and a support plate 12. The limiting plate 10 is U-shaped, with the U-shaped groove of the limiting plate 10 facing downwards and fastened to the base platform 1. The U-shaped groove matches the thickness of the base platform 1. The base plate 11 is horizontally positioned inside the U-shaped groove. The bottom surface of the base plate 11 is a rolling surface, which is in close contact with the upper surface of the base platform 1. The two side wings of the limiting plate 10 extend downwards so that the wall of the U-shaped groove contacts the side of the base platform 1. Thus, the traveling trajectory of the rolling surface of the base plate 11 is consistent with the surface of the base platform 1 through the limiting plate 10, preventing the movable frame from detaching from the base platform 1. One end of the support plate 12 is welded and fixed to the limiting plate 10, and the other end of the support plate 12 extends towards the upper middle part of the base platform 1. The support plate 12 is arc-shaped, and its curvature is consistent with that of the support plate 8.

[0046] Step S4.3.1: A connecting plate 13 extends horizontally from the upper front of the side plate 9 adjacent to the support plate 12. An L-shaped carrier plate 14 extends downward from the bottom of the support plate 12. The horizontal panel of the carrier plate 14 corresponds to the connecting plate 13 above. The elevator 7 is fixed on the horizontal panel. The elevator 7 can use an electric telescopic rod. The output end of the elevator 7 is connected to the lower plate surface of the connecting plate 13. The elevator 7 is used to control the vertical displacement of the support arm. By setting the connecting plate 13 at the upper front of the side plate 9, the downward movement distance of the support arm can be increased so that the support arm can be completely freed from the restriction of the main steel component.

[0047] Step S4.4: Hoist the main steel components, which include the first keel 3, the second keel 4, and the third keel 5. Move the rolling surface of the base plate 11 along the foundation platform 1 to rotate the entire positioning and erection mechanism so that the end of the support arm corresponds to the anchor point 2 of the first keel 3 on the foundation platform 1. Adjust the height of the support arm by using the elevator 7, and then hoist the first keel 3 directly onto the support plate 8 of the support arm. The side plates 9 on both sides of the support arm restrict the first keel 3 from tilting to one side, ensuring the stability of the first keel 3. At the same time, there is no need to assign a special person to straighten the first keel 3, reducing manpower consumption. At this time, the height of the support arm is just right so that the positioning ends of the first keel 3 at both ends contact the corresponding anchor points 2. Therefore, after the first keel 3 is hoisted, it can be positioned directly.

[0048] Step S4.5: Lowering the second keel 4. First, use the lift 7 to lower the support arm until the first keel 3 is completely detached from the support arm. Then, push the moving plate to rotate the support arm counterclockwise, aligning the end of the support arm with the anchor point 2 of the second keel 4 on the foundation platform 1. Next, adjust the height of the support arm using the lift 7, and use a crane to directly lower the second keel 4 onto the support plate 8 of the support arm. The side plates 9 on both sides of the support arm prevent the second keel 4 from tilting to one side, ensuring its stability. This also eliminates the need for dedicated personnel to straighten the second keel 4, reducing manpower consumption. At this point, the height of the support arm... This also allows the positioning ends of the second keel 4 to contact the corresponding anchor points 2. Therefore, after the second keel 4 is hoisted, it can be positioned directly. The second keel 4 is split in two. The second keel 4 and the middle of the first keel 3 can be welded together. The notch reserved in the middle of the side plate 9 is to prevent interference from the first keel 3 and the subsequent ring keel 6, which would prevent normal operation. Because the erection height of the main steel components is consistent, it is necessary to ensure that when the last third keel 5 is installed, the notch reserved in the middle of the side plate 9 still meets the requirement that the height of the support arm is consistent with the height when the first keel 3 is installed.

[0049] Step S4.6: Install the ring keel 6. The ring keel 6 should be prepared in advance and placed at the top of the scaffolding, as this position is also the closest to the installation position of the ring keel 6 on the dome. Since the first keel 3 and the second keel 4 intersect in a cross shape, the ring keel 6 needs to be divided into four parts and placed at the four corners formed by the intersection of the first keel 3 and the second keel 4, so that the two ends of each part of the ring keel 6 are butt welded to the first keel 3 and the second keel 4 respectively.

[0050] Step S4.7: Hoist the third keel 5. First, use the lift 7 to lower the support arm until the second keel 4 is completely detached from the support arm. Then, push the moving plate to rotate the support arm counterclockwise until it is aligned with the nearest anchor point 2. Ensure that the end of the support arm corresponds to the anchor point 2 to prevent readjustment after hoisting the third keel 5. Then, adjust the height of the support arm using the lift 7 and use a crane to hoist the third keel 5 directly onto the support plate 8 of the support arm. The side plates 9 on both sides of the support arm restrict the third keel 5 from tilting to one side, ensuring its stability. This also eliminates the need for a dedicated person to straighten the third keel 5, reducing manpower consumption. At this time, the height of the support arm is just right so that the positioning ends of the third keel 5 are in contact with the corresponding anchor points 2. Therefore, the third keel 5 can be positioned directly after hoisting it.

[0051] Step S4.8, refer to Figure 7The repositioning of the positioning and erection mechanism: After the anchor point 2 of the adjacent first keel 3 is fixed to the third keel 5, there are still some areas where the third keel 5 has not been erected. With the assistance of a crane, the positioning and erection mechanism is first suspended in the air and removed from the restriction of the foundation platform 1. Then it is moved to the area where the third keel 5 has not been installed so that the remaining part can be erected again.

[0052] Step S5: Remove the positioning and erection mechanism. First, use a crane to assist the workers in moving the positioning and erection mechanism from the meridian to the gap of the steel components to the roof. Then, lift the positioning and erection mechanism off the roof.

[0053] Step S6: Install the weft steel members and other uninstalled steel members between adjacent meridian steel members, and perform the final butt welding fixation operation.

[0054] Step S7: After the dome is erected and the glass is installed, the scaffolding covering the entire atrium is removed.

[0055] When constructing the dome, apart from the first keel 3 being a single piece, the second keel 4 and the third keel 5 are both disassembled parts that have been split in two. If traditional methods are used for hoisting, alignment, and welding, it will inevitably consume a great deal of labor, making the construction process cumbersome and time-consuming. However, by implementing this construction method, the time spent on hoisting, aligning, and welding the main steel components can be greatly reduced, and the manpower requirement will not increase. In terms of both cost and time, this construction method has obvious positive benefits.

[0056] It is understood that the above description is merely exemplary and the embodiments of this application do not limit the scope of the application.

[0057] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be within the scope of protection of the pending claims of the present invention.
