Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of construction technology, and further relates to a method for suspending components for installation. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of building construction technology, components are often suspended for installation due to requirements such as visual effects, heat dissipation, acoustics, and space constraints. Suspended installation refers to a method where the object being installed has no direct support on its bottom side in the direction of gravity, but is fixed by structural components on its sides or top. After installation, a suspended space is formed under the installed object, allowing users to walk underneath, the object to dissipate heat, or the object to be displayed more effectively.

[0003] In the prior art, Chinese invention patent application number 202310351081.9 discloses a suspended background wall panel installation structure and method, which requires sequentially setting adjustment rods, vertical support rods, and horizontal support rods fixed to the wall surface to support the floating wall panel. By using multiple rods, the floating wall panel achieves the effect of suspension installation and overcomes the defect of reduced installation accuracy caused by uneven wall surface.

[0004] However, this installation method is only suitable for wall panels with simple and regular shapes. When new objects need to be installed, especially irregularly shaped objects such as artistic decorations, designers and construction workers need to redesign, calculate, and verify the installation structure. Traditional design and installation methods are cumbersome. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, this application provides a method for suspending components, which can easily and quickly realize the suspended design and installation of complex components.

[0006] A method for suspended installation of components, comprising the following steps: S1 Modeling the installation object and the fixed wall used to fix the installation object; S2 Positioning the installation object and the fixed wall modeling relative to each other based on the expected assembly positioning relationship between the installation object and the fixed wall modeling; S3 Determining a first installation area on the fixed wall modeling and a second installation area on the installation object modeling, and automatically generating several fixed rod modelings between the first and second installation areas; S4 Adjusting the fixed rods to generate an optimal suspended fixing scheme; S5 Installing the installation object and the fixed wall according to the optimal suspended fixing scheme and correcting in real time.

[0007] As described above, this application provides a method for suspended installation of components. Compared with the prior art, the method proposed in this application can easily and quickly design reasonable and safe installation schemes for different suspended installation objects, and can guide, monitor, and correct the construction during the installation process. Specifically, the first step in the installation scheme design stage is to model the installation object and the fixed wall. The model can refer to the original drawings of different objects, and the model should reflect the geometric information such as the size, dimensions, position, and shape of the modeled object. The model can also set physical information such as stress, damage, and material properties. After completing the modeling, the first step is to locate the mutual positioning of the suspended installation object and the fixed wall according to the design requirements. At this time, no fixing rods for installation have been set between the two. This step is to lay the foundation for the design of subsequent installation rods. The third step is to generate a preliminary installation scheme. The first installation area and the second installation area should be manually defined by the designer. For example, when installing a large artwork in the shape of a suspended cloud, the first installation area and the second installation area should be defined on the back of the display surface of the artwork to ensure that the supporting fixing rods are covered to meet the design requirements. After the initial layout of the fixed members is generated, the fourth step involves refinement and adjustments to obtain a complete suspended installation plan suitable for the application. Finally, based on the optimal suspended fixing plan, the installation scheme and the fixed wall are installed and corrected in real time. In this way, regardless of the size and load of the fixed wall and the object to be suspended, a corresponding reasonable installation plan can be generated, and the suspended installation can be completed by the construction team or a digital construction robot.

[0008] A further technical solution is as follows:

[0009] The modeling includes a 3D solid model, a computational model, and a drawing model. This feature defines the modeling format: the 3D solid model provides a realistic and intuitive demonstration; the computational model is derived by extracting and abstracting features from the real model; and the drawing model is a projection display of the real model. 3D modeling can be created using modeling software such as Revit; the computational model can be created using finite element analysis software like ANSYS; and the drawing model can be printed for reference and display by construction personnel. All three models should be interconnected.

[0010] Step S3 includes: S3.1 Setting several regularly arranged first installation anchor points in the first installation area and several regularly arranged second installation anchor points in the second installation area, the density of the installation anchor points being determined by the load size of the installation object; S3.2 Connecting and generating several simplified constraint members between the first and second installation anchor points, calculating and displaying the stress condition of each simplified constraint member; S3.3 Based on the stress condition of each simplified constraint member, automatically retrieving a matching standard model of a fixed member from the fixed member library for each simplified constraint member, generating a fixed member model. This step should be completed in the software virtual space. In this feature, the generation of simplified constraint members is required to be based on the principle of mechanical strength. The standard model in the fixed member library should be established and entered in advance according to national standards, material dimensions from construction material suppliers, and other data.

[0011] Step S4 includes: S4.1 Designers add, remove, or move the generated fixed member models according to actual needs; S4.2 The models generate new fixed member arrangement schemes using topological sorting; S4.3 The final fixed member arrangement scheme is simulated and verified; S4.4 Drawings of the verified member fixing scheme are generated. In this feature, the advantage of using topological sorting is that it allows for quick and convenient adjustment of member coordinates.

[0012] Step S5 includes: S5.1 Real-time data collection during the construction phase, real-time comparison of actual construction data and design data; if the deviation between actual construction data and design data is too large, corrective actions are taken; S5.2 Feature extraction of the actual construction model, and data search for a corrected model in the database; S5.3 Simulation verification of the corrected model; if the corrected model is not applicable, a new corrected model is searched until a correct corrected model solution is obtained; S5.4 Application of the corrected model solution to the installation site. Through this step, problems can be proactively identified and resolved. Compared with traditional construction methods, using this method to adjust the installation plan in real time can improve construction quality, ensure quality and safety, reduce rework, reduce errors, and has the advantage of high information utilization rate in construction operations.

[0013] The comparison method between the actual construction data and the design data involves calculating the similarity between the two data and comparing the calculated similarity with a predetermined threshold. In this feature, the similarity calculation refers to a method that systematically calculates a numerical value reflecting the overall differences between the design data and the geometric, mechanical, environmental, material, and tooling information obtained from actual construction monitoring. This comparison method allows for the rapid identification of errors in actual construction.

[0014] Furthermore, the actual construction data includes real-time configuration data of the installation object, fixed wall, and fixed rods generated by three-dimensional laser scanning point cloud during the installation process, as well as internal force data of the fixed rods collected by force sensors.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0016] This invention provides a method for suspending components in mid-air. The method proposed in this application can easily and quickly design reasonable and safe installation schemes for different suspended installation objects, and can guide, monitor, and correct the construction process during installation. Using this method, regardless of the size or load of the fixed wall and the object to be suspended, a corresponding reasonable installation scheme can be quickly generated, and the suspended installation can be completed by the construction team or a digital construction robot.

Compared with the prior art, the method proposed in this application can easily and quickly design reasonable and safe installation schemes for different suspended installation objects 4, and can guide, monitor, and correct the construction during the installation process. Specifically, firstly, in the design of the installation scheme, it is necessary to model the installation object 4 and the fixed wall 3.
