Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building engineering technology, specifically to a chordally supported integrated inflatable airbag canopy system that can be deployed in translational motion. Background Technology

[0002] Skylight systems for construction engineering are commonly used in open-air construction scenarios such as foundation pit projects and earthwork projects. By erecting protective facilities above the work surface, skylight systems provide safety, wind and rain protection, ensuring worker safety while maintaining construction progress and project quality. Furthermore, in some cases, especially in urban construction, skylight systems can control the spread of dust and material debris, reducing the impact of construction on the surrounding environment and helping to reduce environmental pollution.

[0003] Currently, the most common canopy systems on construction sites use a combination of steel wire ropes and dense mesh netting. The dense mesh netting is passed through the steel wire ropes to form an enclosure system across the construction site.

[0004] Because of the use of a perforated mesh, this type of canopy system has good ventilation, but it does not provide wind and rain protection or construction noise reduction. In addition, when the area to be covered is large, the weight of the steel wire ropes and mesh requires high load-bearing capacity at both ends of the canopy system, which will significantly increase the cost.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a lightweight canopy system for building engineering that is breathable, windproof, rainproof, noiseproof, and dustproof, which is a problem that needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the above-mentioned technical defects of existing canopy systems, the purpose of this invention is to provide a chordally integrated inflatable airbag canopy system that can be deployed in translational motion. It is a lightweight canopy system for building engineering that is breathable, windproof, rainproof, noiseproof and dustproof, effectively overcoming the problems existing in the prior art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a translatably deployable, cable-stayed integrated inflatable airbag canopy system, comprising an arc-shaped airbag, several sets of air support components, several flexible cables, and a foldable component. The several sets of air support components are equidistantly distributed at the bottom of the arc-shaped airbag and communicate with the arc-shaped airbag to form an integrated inflatable airbag structure. The several flexible cables are respectively disposed at the bottom of the air support components and form a tensioned structure with the integrated inflatable airbag structure in the inflated state. The foldable component is symmetrically disposed on both sides of the integrated inflatable airbag structure, and the foldable component can drive the integrated inflatable airbag to fold along the height direction of the canopy.

[0008] Furthermore, each of the several sets of air support components includes several air supports, which are equidistantly arranged at the bottom of the arc-shaped airbag along the same axis.

[0009] Furthermore, the gas supports are symmetrically distributed at the bottom of the arc-shaped airbag, with the middle one being the longest and the lengths at both ends gradually decreasing.

[0010] Furthermore, the top of the arc-shaped airbag is provided with a soft support corresponding to the air support assembly, and the two ends of the soft support are respectively connected to the foldable assembly to form elastic support for the inflated arc-shaped airbag.

[0011] Furthermore, the foldable component is disposed on both sides of the arc-shaped airbag. It is composed of several folding rods connected by a hinge structure. The ends of two folding rods that are far apart from each other are connected to the ends of adjacent folding rods through the hinge structure to form a first folding point. Adjacent first folding points can move towards each other. The ends of two folding rods that are close to each other are connected by a connection structure to form a second folding point. When the adjacent first folding points move towards each other, the second folding point moves away from the first folding point and rises.

[0012] Furthermore, a storage traction cable is provided at the first folding point of the foldable component. By setting the storage traction cable, adjacent first folding points in the foldable component can be driven to move towards each other to fold, thereby folding the deflated arc-shaped airbag.

[0013] Furthermore, a storage guide rope is provided at the first folding point of the foldable component. The storage guide rope is located at the bottom of the arc-shaped airbag and its two ends are connected to the second folding point of the foldable component. When the foldable component is folded, the storage guide rope rises in the direction away from the first folding point along with the second folding point, so as to lift the deflated arc-shaped airbag.

[0014] The present invention provides a lattice-supported integrated inflatable airbag canopy system that can be deployed in translation. It integrates an arc-shaped airbag and an air support into one unit. The inflation process is the deployment construction process, which is convenient for construction. At the same time, the system does not need to be continuously inflated and can be repeatedly applied to engineering sites with similar spans.

[0015] Secondly, this invention adopts a tensioned system, using inflatable airbags as pressure-bearing components, which can span a large area and can be deployed in translational motion, making it easy to adjust the working status of the canopy system according to the weather and construction progress, thus making it flexible in function.

[0016] Meanwhile, the invention uses inflatable airbag technology. The system is small in size when not deployed, making it easy to transport and store. It can be put into use quickly, saving time and ensuring the construction period.

[0017] In addition, compared with the traditional steel wire rope + dense mesh canopy system, the present invention uses inflatable airbags as the enclosure structure, which has a certain thickness and can effectively prevent wind, rain, noise and dust, and can further reduce the impact of construction on the surrounding environment.

[0033] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below with reference to specific illustrations.

[0034] In view of the above-mentioned technical defects of existing canopy systems, the present invention provides a chordally integrated inflatable airbag canopy system that can be deployed in translational motion. It is a lightweight canopy system for building engineering that is breathable, windproof, rainproof, noiseproof and dustproof, effectively overcoming the problems existing in the prior art.

[0035] The lateral deployable, integrated, inflatable airbag canopy system provided in this solution is described in [reference needed]. Figures 1-2 It includes an inflatable airbag 1, a flexible cable 2, a foldable component 3, a storage guide cable 4, a soft support 5, and a storage traction cable 6.

[0036] The inflatable airbag 1 includes an arc-shaped airbag 11, several sets of air support components, and several flexible cables 2. The several sets of air support components are equidistantly distributed at the bottom of the arc-shaped airbag 11 to form an integrated inflatable airbag structure with the arc-shaped airbag 11. Several flexible cables are set below each set of air support components. After the arc-shaped airbag 11 is inflated to a certain value, the integrated inflatable airbag 1 and the flexible cables 2 can form a tensioned structure with a certain load-bearing capacity.

[0037] Specifically, several sets of air support components are equidistantly distributed at the bottom of the arc-shaped airbag 11. Each set of air support components includes several air supports 12, which are equidistantly arranged at the bottom of the arc-shaped airbag 11 along the same axis.

[0038] Each group of air springs is symmetrically distributed with the middle section being the longest and the lengths at both ends gradually decreasing. This allows the air springs to fully unfold during inflation and cooperate with the flexible cables at the bottom of the air springs to form a load-bearing tensioned structure.

[0039] After several sets of air support components are set at the bottom of the arc-shaped airbag 11 and connected to the arc-shaped airbag 11, an integrated inflatable airbag 1 is formed. When the arc-shaped airbag 11 is inflated, the arc-shaped airbag 11 and the air support 12 expand synchronously. The inflation process is the deployment construction process, which is convenient for construction. At the same time, the system does not need to be inflated continuously and can be repeatedly applied to engineering sites with similar spans.

[0040] The two ends of the flexible cable 2 are fixed to the two sides of the arc-shaped airbag 11, and the middle is connected to the lower part of the air support 12. It can dynamically change according to the inflation state of the integrated inflatable airbag 1.

[0041] When the integrated inflatable airbag 1 is inflated, the arc-shaped airbag 11 will gradually unfold, and the flexible cable 2 connected to both ends of the arc-shaped airbag 11 will also gradually expand and have a certain tension, which can provide lateral support for the arc-shaped airbag 11.

[0042] When the integrated inflatable airbag 1 is inflated to a certain pressure value, the air support 12 at its bottom gradually expands and applies a top force to the flexible cable 2. Since the length of the air support 12 in each air support assembly is not consistent, the flexible cable 2 forms an arc structure and forms a tensioned structure with the integrated inflatable airbag 1, which has a certain load-bearing capacity.

[0043] This solution adopts a tensioned system, using the inflatable airbag 1 as the pressure-bearing component. It can span a large area and can be deployed in translational motion, making it easy to adjust the working status of the canopy system according to the weather and construction progress, thus providing flexible functionality.

[0044] In the folding direction of the integrated inflatable airbag 1, foldable components 3 are provided on both sides. The foldable components 3 can be folded or unfolded along the height direction of the canopy, and drive the integrated inflatable airbag 1 connected to it to fold or unfold synchronously.

[0045] Specifically, the foldable component 3 is composed of several folding rods connected by a hinge structure. The ends of two folding rods that are far apart from each other are connected to the ends of an adjacent folding rod through the hinge structure to form a first folding point 31. The adjacent first folding points can move towards each other. At the same time, the ends of two folding rods that are close to each other are connected by a connection structure to form a second folding point 32. When the adjacent first folding points 31 move towards each other, the second folding point 32 moves away from the first folding point 31 and rises.

[0046] The foldable component 3, formed by the hinged connection of the aforementioned folding rods, can be folded or unfolded relative to each other through the hinge structure. When the foldable component 3 is fully unfolded, the hinge structure is locked to form a rigid structure, which can support and fix the arc-shaped airbag. When unlocked, it can be folded or unfolded along the height direction of the canopy, and drive the integrated inflatable airbag 1 connected to it to fold or unfold synchronously.

[0047] The hinge structure and its locking structure are well known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0048] Furthermore, a soft support 5 is provided along the cross section of each group of air support components. The soft support 5 is connected to the membrane surface of the upper surface of the arc-shaped airbag 11, and its two ends are respectively connected to the first folding point 31 of the foldable component 3 to form an elastic support, which can divide the arc-shaped airbag 11 into several equidistant areas. The foldable component 3 can be folded along the height direction of the canopy between two adjacent soft supports, which is convenient for guiding and storing.

[0049] Meanwhile, after the soft support 5 is set on the upper surface of the arc-shaped airbag 11, when the air support 12 is inflated, the top of the air support 12 applies a top force to the soft support 5, forming an arc-shaped structure that matches the arc-shaped airbag 11. Since the two ends of the soft support 5 are connected to the foldable component 3, which is fixed in use, the soft support 5 can lift and support the arc-shaped airbag 11, making the force transmission path of the tensioned system formed by the soft support 5, the air support 12, and the flexible cable 2 clearer and easier to bear.

[0050] It should be noted that the method of fixing the soft support 5 to the arc-shaped airbag 11 is not limited in this solution. As an example, several connection points can be distributed at equal intervals on the arc-shaped airbag 11, and the soft support 5 can be connected to the arc-shaped airbag 11 through these connection points. This connection structure is convenient and can meet the support of the soft support 5 to the arc-shaped airbag 11.

[0051] Meanwhile, a through channel can be provided on the upper surface of the arc-shaped airbag 11 and integrated with the arc-shaped airbag 11. The soft support 5 can be directly fixed by passing through the through channel on the upper surface of the arc-shaped airbag 11. This connection structure can make the connection between the soft support 5 and the arc-shaped airbag 11 more stable, and after inflation, the soft support 5 and the arc-shaped airbag 11 can fit more closely, improving the reliability of the support.

[0052] In this solution, the method of fixing the soft support 5 to the arc-shaped airbag 11 is not limited, as long as the soft support 5 can be connected to the upper surface membrane of the arc-shaped airbag 11.

[0053] At the first folding point 31 on the foldable component 3, a storage traction cable 6 is provided. The storage traction cable is provided along the bottom of the foldable component 3 and connected to the first folding point 31 on the foldable component. By providing the storage traction cable 6, the foldable component 3 can be driven to fold quickly.

[0054] When the canopy is in operation, the foldable component 3 is in the unfolded state and locked to form a rigid structure, and the storage traction cable 6 is in the tensioned state; when the canopy needs to be retracted and folded, the storage traction cable 6 can, under the action of power, bring the adjacent first folding points together, thereby driving the foldable component 3 to fold.

[0055] The connection structure between the traction cable 6 and the foldable component 3 is not limited in this design; for example, see [link to example]. Figure 4 A storage traction cable 6 can be set at each side of the foldable component 3. The first end 61 of the storage traction cable 6 is connected to the end of the canopy, and the second end 62 passes through the first folding point 31 of the foldable component 3.

[0056] When storing, loosen the first end 61 of the storage traction cable 6, and the second end 62 will be pulled by human power or additional power to drive the foldable component 3 to bend, thus achieving storage.

[0057] Secondly, see Figure 5 Additionally, two storage traction cables 6 can be installed at each side of the foldable component 3. The first ends 63 of the two storage traction cables 6 are fixedly connected to the two ends of the canopy, and the second ends 64 of the two storage traction cables 6 pass through the first folding point 31 of the foldable component 3.

[0058] When storing, loosening the first end 63 of the storage traction cable 6 allows the second ends 64 of both storage traction cables to be pulled simultaneously by human power or additional power, causing the foldable component 3 to bend and thus achieve storage.

[0059] Furthermore, several storage guide cables 4 are distributed at the bottom of the arc-shaped airbag, and their two ends are respectively connected to the second folding point 32 of the foldable component 3.

[0060] When the folding component 3 is folded, it rises in the direction away from the first folding point 31 following the second folding point 32, lifting the deflated arc-shaped airbag 11 that covers the storage guide cable 6, and then the arc-shaped airbag 11 is folded neatly as the adjacent first folding points 31 move towards each other.

[0061] The folding length of each foldable component 3 should be greater than the sagittal height of the integrated inflatable airbag 1 to ensure that the storage guide cable 4 can fully guide the folding of the integrated inflatable airbag 1.

[0062] It should be noted that additional folding guidance operations can be performed on the integrated inflatable airbag 1 at this cross-section, such as pre-setting membrane folds and changes in inflation thickness, to ensure the reliability of subsequent folding.

[0063] Based on the above structure, the following example illustrates the working process of the lattice-supported integrated inflatable airbag canopy system that can be dynamically deployed.

[0064] When working, see Figures 6-8 The foldable component 3 is unfolded and placed on the space to be enclosed 7. Then, the first air pressure is used to simultaneously inflate the two opposite corners of the arc-shaped airbag 11. The arc-shaped airbag 11 unfolds slowly during inflation. During the unfolding process of the arc-shaped airbag 11, the foldable component 3 will gradually straighten and lock to form a rigid structure, providing lateral support for the arc-shaped airbag. At this time, the storage traction cable 6 is in a tensioned state and ensures that the foldable component 3 is in a straight state.

[0065] Meanwhile, during the deployment of the arc-shaped airbag 11, the flexible cable 2 located at the bottom of the air support 12 and the soft support 5 located on the upper surface of the arc-shaped airbag 11 will expand and have a certain tension, thus supporting the arc-shaped airbag 11.

[0066] Then, the second air pressure is used to simultaneously inflate the two opposite corners of the arc-shaped airbag 11. The second air pressure is greater than the first air pressure. After the arc-shaped airbag 11 is inflated to a certain pressure value by the second air pressure, the air support 12 at the bottom of the arc-shaped airbag 11 will gradually extend. Its lower end applies pressure to the flexible cable 2 set at the bottom of the air support 12, and its upper end applies a top force to the soft support 5 set on the upper surface of the arc-shaped airbag 11. The two work together to form a tensioned structure, so that the entire canopy system has a certain load-bearing capacity.

[0067] See Figures 9-12 When the skylight system needs to be stored, the integrated inflatable airbag 1 is deflated. The second folding point 32 of the foldable airbag component 3 is guided by the storage traction cable 6 to fold and move away from the first folding point 31, which drives the storage guide cable 4 connected to the second folding point 32 to rise, lifting the deflated arc-shaped airbag covering the storage guide cable 4. At the same time, the first folding point 31 on the foldable component 3 moves towards each other, causing the adjacent storage guide cables 4 to gradually move closer together, realizing the folding and storage of the arc-shaped airbag 11.

[0068] In particular, a certain number of movable, deployable, integrated inflatable airbag canopy systems can be installed at the construction site to provide shade for all or part of the open-air construction work.

[0069] The above-described integrated inflatable airbag canopy system with chord support that can be deployed in translational motion utilizes inflatable airbag technology. When not deployed, the system is small in size, easy to transport and store, and can be put into use quickly, saving time and ensuring the construction period.

[0070] Meanwhile, compared to the traditional steel wire rope + dense mesh canopy system, this invention uses inflatable airbags as the enclosure structure, which has a certain thickness and can effectively prevent wind, rain, noise and dust, further reducing the impact of construction on the surrounding environment.
