However, the positioning of structural columns and reserved holes during construction is still not accurate enough. There are certain deviations based on the experience of different construction personnel, which leads to collisions between pipelines and structural columns and holes in later construction.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0005] This application provides a method for locating structural columns and reserved holes based on BIM and 3D scanning, including the following specific steps:

[0006] S1. Perform a 3D scan of the existing structure to obtain the point cloud data of the project;

[0007] S2. Establish a modeling template according to enterprise standards and create a BIM model based on construction drawings. Import the point cloud data obtained from 3D scanning into point cloud processing software, compare the point cloud data model with the BIM model, identify differences or conflicts, and modify to obtain the final BIM model;

[0008] S3. Create building and pipeline models based on architectural drawings and integrated pipeline drawings, and adjust the pipeline and prefabricated pipe segments to obtain the final pipeline model. Adjust the positions of building structural columns and reserved holes based on the final pipeline model to obtain structural column and reserved hole location data.

[0009] S4. Set up a layout robot based on the project's base points and measurement points, import the data of the structural columns and reserved holes into the layout robot to locate and mark the structural columns and reserved holes, and complete the building layout and construction based on the marked locations.

[0010] In step S1, three initial scanning reference points p1, p2, and p3, and subsequent regional scanning reference points p4, p5, and p6 are set at the construction site. The scanning position and accuracy of the 3D scanner are set according to the initial scanning reference points and subsequent regional scanning reference points, and regional scanning is performed. The next regional scanning reference points p7, p8, and p9 are set, and the 3D scanner is moved to the next region. The 3D scanner is set according to p4, p5, p6, p7, p8, and p9, and regional scanning is performed. The above work is repeated to obtain the project point cloud data.

[0011] In step S2, according to the company's standards, a standardized template for the building information model is created in a consistent and efficient manner by setting software parameters, element templates, and view settings. The north / south, east / west coordinates and elevation of the project are obtained from the construction drawings. A virtual coordinate origin is set in the project as the project base point.

It uses laser to locate the longitudinal and transverse points in the structural surface based on the reserved hole mapping point data. It assists in completing the building layout and construction of building walls and structural columns based on the structural column marking points.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 A method for locating structural columns and reserved holes based on BIM and 3D scanning includes the following specific steps:

[0025] S1. Perform a 3D scan of the existing structure to obtain the point cloud data of the project;

[0026] S2. Establish a modeling template according to enterprise standards and create a BIM model based on construction drawings. Import the point cloud data obtained from 3D scanning into point cloud processing software, compare the point cloud data model with the BIM model, identify differences or conflicts, and modify to obtain the final BIM model;

[0027] S3. Create building and pipeline models based on architectural drawings and integrated pipeline drawings, and adjust the pipeline and prefabricated pipe segments to obtain the final pipeline model. Adjust the positions of building structural columns and reserved holes based on the final pipeline model to obtain structural column and reserved hole location data.

[0028] S4. Set up a layout robot based on the project's base points and measurement points, import the data of the structural columns and reserved holes into the layout robot to locate and mark the structural columns and reserved holes, and complete the building layout and construction based on the marked locations.

[0029] Furthermore, in step S1, three initial scanning reference points p1, p2, and p3, and subsequent area scanning reference points p4, p5, and p6 are set at the construction site. Based on these initial and subsequent area scanning reference points, the scanning position and accuracy of the 3D scanner are set, and area scanning is performed. Then, the next area scanning reference points p7, p8, and p9 are set, and the 3D scanner is moved to the next area. Based on p4, p5, p6, p7, p8, and p9, the 3D scanner is set, and area scanning is performed. This process is repeated to obtain the project point cloud data as shown below. Figure 2 .

[0030] In step S2, based on the company's standards, a standardized template for the Building Information Model (BIM) is created by setting software parameters, element templates, and view settings to maintain consistency and improve efficiency. The north / south, east / west coordinates and elevation of the project are obtained from the construction drawings. A virtual coordinate origin is set in the project as the project base point, and the BIM model is established by linking CAD drawings as a reference. The point cloud model formed by the processed point cloud data is compared to identify differences or conflicts. Based on the development standards of the BIM data model, the BIM model is used to share building information modification and synchronization data between different BIM software until the final BIM model is achieved.

[0031] In step S3, a building and pipeline model is created in the existing structural model based on the building drawings and integrated pipeline drawings. The pipeline is adjusted and prefabricated pipe segments are divided to obtain the final pipeline model. The positions of the building structural columns and reserved holes are adjusted according to the final pipeline model. The midpoint mapping coordinates of the structural columns and reserved holes are set in the model to obtain the mapping point data of the structural columns and reserved holes.

Based on the on-site path planning algorithms and sensor functions, the robot is ensured to move safely to the designated location. The three-dimensional coordinates (X, Y, Z) of the structural columns and reserved holes are imported into the layout robot for positioning and marking. The layout robot uses laser to locate each structural column based on the project baseline, measurement points, and structural column coordinates. Based on the reserved hole mapping data, it uses laser to locate the coordinates (X, Y, Z) of the structural surface. The marked structural column positions assist in completing the building layout and constructing the building walls and structural columns. The midpoint of the reserved opening is determined at the coordinates (X, Y, Z) of the structural surface to ensure on-site accuracy. Figure 3 As shown.
