Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of building construction, and in particular to a wooden formwork auxiliary operation device and method. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the main methods of using wooden formwork on construction sites are: 1) Workers carrying wooden formwork by hand: This is generally done by hand, which is not a very efficient way to apply force, especially when assembling wall formwork. 2) Difficulty in finding non-standard formwork: Construction sites often have many non-standard wooden formwork pieces, such as half-pieces, single-piece pieces, and cut polygonal pieces. These non-standard formwork pieces often need to be placed in specific locations, such as corners, beam bottoms, and beam-column junctions. Reusing them could achieve better economy and reduce waste. However, in practice, when faced with a need for non-standard formwork, workers tend to take a new standard board and saw it to create a new one, rather than searching for the non-standard board on site. This search wastes their time, leading to a deviation from management needs, uneconomical practices, and increased waste. 3) Precise formwork erection is like assembling... Figure 1 The process is time-consuming: If non-standard templates are stacked next to the target wall, a worker can pick one up at random, but he may not know where to put it. We can think of non-standard templates as jigsaw puzzle pieces of different shapes and sizes, each of which must be placed in the correct position to complete the puzzle. However, in actual work, on the one hand, templates do not have as many patterns as jigsaw puzzle pieces, and on the other hand, even if some projects have markings on the templates, such as numbers, workers are still unwilling to think about where the non-standard template in their hands should be placed in the "puzzle" because they can only do so by referring to the puzzle pattern (blueprint). This is both technically challenging and time-consuming. 4) Difficulties in handling the sorting of non-standard templates: The project has established strict operating procedures, requiring workers to install non-standard templates piece by piece according to the drawings. However, problems still exist. For example, a worker might take a template from the nearby templates, identify its markings, and compare it with the drawings to find that it should be installed in the middle right of the wall. Assuming this template is 1.2 meters from the ground and 2.5 meters from the right control line, the worker needs to do some specific measurement work to install it accurately, which undoubtedly increases the worker's workload. If we place the non-standard templates in order and require workers to install them from bottom to top and from left to right, this problem can be solved to some extent. However, this sorting will obviously bring a lot of workload to the management. Walls, beams, slabs, and columns may have different sizes, different orientations, and different shapes. This sorting is a very specific task that cannot be solved by relatively macro-level rules.

[0003] The existing technologies are as follows: 1) Currently, there are suction cup-type woodworking equipment. This equipment can solve the problem of template handling, but it is powerless to place the template in the correct position. It cannot identify the information of the template being suctioned, nor can it tell the worker where this non-standard template should be placed. 2) The template's identity and other information can be identified by marking it, attaching QR codes, or placing chips, but there are shortcomings. First, it requires a mobile phone or card reader to read the information, which represents an additional burden and operation. Second, it still cannot overcome the technical hurdle of reading drawings. For example, if a worker sees through scanning a QR code that the non-standard template should be placed at a certain location on a wall, the worker still needs to identify the location of the wall from the drawings. Third, it still cannot solve the additional measurement work. For example, if a worker sees through scanning a QR code that the non-standard template should be placed at a certain location on a wall, the worker still needs to measure whether it is actually placed correctly. 3) Formwork on construction sites is generally reused repeatedly, sometimes more than five times. However, in actual operation, after the formwork is removed, it is often just piled up somewhere. It is almost impossible to find it again. For workers, asking them to find the formwork and install it in the correct position is beyond their ability and emotional capacity, and is not feasible. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of the invention, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a wooden formwork auxiliary operation device and method, which can transport wooden formwork and read and write information such as the formwork's identity, size, and position, guide operators to accurately and efficiently place non-standard formwork in the correct position, quickly identify specific formwork, guide operators to accurately and efficiently install formwork, and increase the management and execution details of wooden formwork installation operations.

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides an auxiliary operating device and method for wooden formwork, employing the following technical solution: It includes: an adsorption tool for gripping or placing wooden formwork; an Internet of Things (IoT) unit connected to the formwork for recording the formwork's identity information; the adsorption tool and the IoT unit are combined or separated via a foolproof structure, the foolproof structure having a sensing unit that identifies the wooden formwork's identity information when combined with the IoT unit and records and uploads current location information when separated; the adsorption tool includes a navigation unit for navigating to the next usage location based on the wooden formwork's current location information.

[0007] Optionally, the adsorption tool includes a control box with a handle and a suction cup, and a suction and exhaust unit inside the control box for controlling the suction cup to adsorb or release the wooden template; a positioning unit for locating the position information of the adsorption tool; an identification unit for identifying the identity information of the wooden template; and a network transmission unit for connecting to a template information management system, which is used to add, delete, modify, and query the identity and location information of the wooden template.

[0008] Optionally, the suction and exhaust unit includes an air pump, a reversing valve, and an air pipe connected to the control box, wherein the air pump and the reversing valve are connected to the suction cup via the air pipe.

[0009] Optionally, the adsorption tool is equipped with a visualization unit to guide the adsorption tool to the correct position where it should be used. The visualization unit can provide guidance via arrow indicators or voice prompts.

[0010] Optionally, the wooden template identification information includes the size of the wooden template, the next location for use, and the number of times it can be reused.

[0011] Optionally, the foolproof structure includes a locking block fixed to the control box, and the IoT unit is provided with a slot that matches the locking block. The locking block can only be locked into the slot from a specific direction.

[0012] Optionally, the sensing unit uses circuit current detection to identify whether the adsorption tool is combined with or separated from the Internet of Things unit.

[0013] A method for assisting in the operation of wooden formwork, the method utilizing the wooden formwork assisting device as described above, specifically includes the following steps:

[0014] S1: After the non-standard template is initially processed, the operator writes the size, next location of use, number of times to be reused and other information of the non-standard template into the Internet of Things unit using a handheld adsorption tool. After being transported to the work surface, it is stored in a certain place using the adsorption tool.

[0015] S2: When the adsorption tool is separated from the IoT unit, write the current location information to the IoT unit and write the current location information to the template information management system;

[0016] S3: When installing non-standard templates, the operator combines the adsorption tool with the Internet of Things unit. The adsorption tool reads the next use location, its own location, and the number of times it can be reused of the non-standard template. The visual unit guides the worker to move the template until it is moved to the next use location.

[0017] S4: After installation in the correct position, the adsorption tool is separated from the IoT unit. When it is reassembled after a certain period of time, the number of times the wooden template is used is incremented by one, and the information is written into the IoT unit and template information management system.

[0018] S5: Repeat the above steps until the wooden formwork reaches the end of its service life and is removed from the site.

[0019] In summary, the present invention has at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. This invention adds an identity recognition unit, which can read the identity information of non-standard templates and learn information such as the size of the non-standard template, the next location for use, and the repeated service life;

[0021] 2. This invention adds a positioning unit and optimizes the identity chip on the template. During initial placement, its relative position on the non-standard board is written, and it has a specific shape that can be precisely locked onto a certain point on the woodworking tool. This shape also has a foolproof function. In this way, the positioning information of the woodworking tool can be converted into the position information of the template (including up, down, left, and right posture). The woodworking tool has a display unit (or can be connected to a mobile phone as a display unit) to remind workers to place the current non-standard template in the correct position through directional navigation, avoiding additional measurement work and lowering the threshold for workers to read drawings.

[0022] 3. To solve the problem of finding non-standard templates after dismantling, this special tool is still used to grab and put down the template during dismantling. When the tool is separated from the template, the position information of the template is recorded and uploaded. When searching again, the directional navigation function of the special tool can be used to find the template. This makes it possible to find a specific non-standard template again.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] Reference Figures 1-5 The present invention discloses a wooden template auxiliary operation device, comprising: an adsorption tool 100 for gripping or lowering a wooden template 300;

[0035] The Internet of Things (IoT) unit 200 is connected to the template and can be installed on the wooden template 300 by fixing or adsorption. It is used to record the identity information of the wooden template 300. Through the IoT chip therein, it can record or modify the identity, location and other information of the wooden template 300. The identity information of the wooden template 300 includes the size of the wooden template 300, the next location to be used, and the number of times it can be reused.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 The adsorption tool 100 and the Internet of Things unit 200 are combined or separated through a foolproof structure. The foolproof structure has a sensing unit 111 that identifies the identity information of the wooden template 300 when the adsorption tool 100 is combined with the Internet of Things unit 200 and records and uploads the current location information when separated.

[0037] The foolproof structure includes a locking block 103 fixed to the control box 101, and an IoT unit 200 with a slot 201 matching the locking block 103. The locking block 103 can only engage with the slot 201 from a specific direction. This matching physical structure ensures that the IoT unit 200 can be accurately positioned on the adsorption tool 100, facilitating movement of the wooden template 300 to the installation location.

[0038] The sensing unit 111 uses circuit current detection to identify whether the adsorption tool 100 is combined with or separated from the Internet of Things unit 200. For example, when the adsorption tool 100 is combined with the Internet of Things unit 200, current is detected passing through it, and the identity information of the wooden template 300 is identified. When the adsorption tool 100 is separated from the Internet of Things unit 200, the current disappears, and the current location information is recorded and uploaded.

[0039] The adsorption tool 100 includes a control box 101, on which a handle 102 and a suction cup 105 are provided. The control box 101 contains a suction and exhaust unit 106 for controlling the suction cup 105 to adsorb or release the wooden template 300; wherein, reference... Figure 4 The suction and exhaust unit 106 includes an air pump 106a, a reversing valve 106b and an air pipe 106c connected to the control box 101. The air pump 106a and the reversing valve 106b are connected to the suction cup 105 through the air pipe 106c.

[0040] It also includes a positioning unit 107 for locating the position information of the adsorption tool 100, so that the positioning information of the adsorption tool 100 can be converted into the position information of the wooden template 300 (including its up, down, left, and right posture). When the operator combines the adsorption tool 100 with the wooden template 300, the adsorption tool 100 reads the position information of the non-standard template itself; an identity recognition unit 108 for recognizing the identity information of the wooden template 300, including the size of the wooden template 300, the next location to be used, and the number of times it can be reused; and a network transmission unit 109 for connecting to the template information management system 110, which can add, delete, modify, and query the identity and position information of the wooden template 300.

[0041] In addition, refer to Figure 1 The adsorption tool 100 is equipped with a visualization unit 104 to guide it to the correct location. The visualization unit 104 provides guidance via arrow pointing or voice prompts. Alternatively, the adsorption tool 100 can be connected to a mobile phone as a transmission unit, displaying a map of the correct location. The adsorption tool 100 includes a navigation unit 112 for navigating to the next location based on the current position of the wooden template 300. The directional navigation function of the navigation unit 112 allows for easy navigation, making it possible to locate a specific non-standard template again. The directional navigation of the navigation unit 112 reminds workers to place the current non-standard template in the correct position, avoiding additional measurement work and lowering the barrier to entry for workers reading drawings.

[0042] Example 2

[0043] Based on the same concept as Embodiment 1 above, a method for assisting in the operation of wooden formwork is also provided. This method utilizes the wooden formwork assisting device described above and specifically includes the following steps:

[0044] S1: After the non-standard template is initially processed, the operator writes the size, next location of use, number of times of reuse and other identity information of the non-standard template into the Internet of Things unit 200 through the handheld adsorption tool 100. After being transported to the work surface, it is stored in a certain place through the adsorption tool 100.

[0045] S2: When the adsorption tool 100 is separated from the Internet of Things unit 200, the current location information is written to the Internet of Things unit 200 and written to the template information management system 110.

[0046] S3: When installing non-standard templates, the operator combines the adsorption tool 100 with the Internet of Things unit 200. The adsorption tool 100 reads the next use location, its own location, and the number of times it can be reused of the non-standard template. The visualization unit 104 guides the worker to move the template until it is moved to the next use location. The guidance is not limited to arrows, voice, etc.

[0047] S4: After installation in the correct position, the adsorption tool 100 separates from the IoT unit 200. When they are reunited after a certain period of time (usually 3 days), the number of uses of the wooden template 300 is incremented by one and written into the IoT unit 200 and the template information management system 110.

[0048] S5: Repeat the above steps until the wooden formwork reaches the end of its service life and is removed from the site.

[0049] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
