[0002] Prefabricated buildings refer to buildings where a large amount of on-site work in traditional construction methods is transferred to factories.

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-6The present invention provides a technical solution: a mold cleaning device for the production of prefabricated building modules, including an external concrete residue analysis device and a sprayer 3 for mold cleaning. The concrete residue analysis device includes a camera device and an image processing system. After processing information such as contrast, it can analyze the gray concrete with strong contrast on the surface of the mold with darker color and can form an accurate distribution of concrete on the surface of the mold in the background system.

[0028] The outer end of the top of the sprayer 3 is fitted to the inner side of the fixing mechanism 2, and the top of the fixing mechanism 2 is fitted with a hoist 1.

[0029] The hoisting device 1 includes a fixed rod 11, the top of which is mounted in an external displacement device. The displacement device can drive the entire sprayer 3 and the hoisting device 1 to move forward, backward, left, right, and up and down.

[0030] The fixing mechanism 2 includes a first fixing frame 21, a connecting rod 27 is mounted at the bottom end of the first fixing frame 21, a fixing member 26 is mounted on the outside of the connecting rod 27, a connecting member 25 is mounted at the bottom end of the fixing member 26, a round hole is opened at the bottom end of the connecting member 25, and a sealing gasket is mounted on the outer surface of the round hole. A second fixing frame 28 is welded to the top end of the fixing member 26.

[0031] The sprayer 3 includes a drive motor 31, which is mounted on the outside of the second fixed frame 28. A second gear 32 is mounted on the outside of the drive motor 31. A third gear 33 is meshed at the bottom of the second gear 32. A worm gear 34 is mounted in the middle of the third gear 33. A gear ring 35 is meshed at the bottom of the worm gear 34. A collar 36 is mounted on the right side of the gear ring 35. The collar 36 is sleeved on the outer surface of the fixed member 26 and the connecting member 25. Several nozzles 37 are screwed to the outside of the collar 36. The inner side of the nozzle 37 at the bottom end is tightly attached to the outer surface of the sealing gasket.

[0032] This invention provides a device with image analysis capabilities that can adjust the nozzle of the sprayer 3 based on the analyzed image to spray cleaning agents onto the locations of residual concrete inside the mold. This allows for targeted spraying of cleaning agents at different thicknesses, residual points, and residual areas, achieving a more precise spraying effect. This effectively solves the problem that existing methods for cleaning the inner surfaces of building modules often rely on manual spraying of agents based on the current state of residual concrete on the mold surface, resulting in a cumbersome, time-consuming, and physically demanding process.

[0033] Specifically, the camera device is equipped with a displacement system on its outer side that can move the camera device. By moving and adjusting the appropriate position on the outside of the mold, it can capture and analyze the distribution and thickness of residual concrete. The camera device takes photos or videos with the assistance of supplementary lighting. After processing in the background in various ways (such as sharpening, improving contrast, etc.), it can obtain the thickness, location and distribution of residual concrete. Then, in conjunction with sprayer 3, it sprays the agent inside the mold to achieve an automated processing effect, replacing the existing manual observation, saving manpower, meeting production needs in the long term, improving processing efficiency, and being able to process more molds in the same amount of working time.

[0034] Specifically, the camera equipment is mounted on top of the equipment. It moves the mold through a conveyor belt used to transport the mold, and works with the fixed-position camera equipment to capture and analyze the distribution and thickness of the residual concrete.

[0035] Specifically, an auxiliary slide rail 12 is welded to the outer surface of the fixed rod 11. A sliding shaft 14 is installed inside the auxiliary slide rail 12. A hinge rod 15 is welded to the bottom end of the sliding shaft 14. An outer cover 18 is welded to the outside of the hinge rod 15. A worm motor 17 is installed inside the outer cover 18. A first gear 16 meshes with the bottom end of the worm motor 17. A shaft 13 is installed at the center of the first gear 16. The outer end of the shaft 13 is installed at the bottom end of the auxiliary slide rail 12. The fixed rod 11, shaft 13, and first gear 16 are a whole. Therefore, when the worm motor 17 rotates, it will passively drive the outer cover 18, sliding shaft 14, and hinge rod 15 to rotate as a whole. Thus, the fixed rod 11 will drive the hinge rod 15 and the fixed mechanism 2 to rotate at an angle adjustment. The worm motor 17 is a motor that can rotate according to a fixed number of turns, angle, etc., and a worm gear is installed at the output end. The worm gear meshes with the outer surface of the first gear 16.

[0036] Specifically, the bottom of the first fixing frame 21 is equipped with a housing 22, the bottom of the housing 22 is provided with a liquid spraying opening 23, the inside of the housing 22 is equipped with a liquid inlet pipe 24, the bottom of the liquid inlet pipe 24 is equipped with the outside of the connector 25, the liquid inlet pipe 24 can always input liquid into the inside of the connector 25 from the outside, and spray the agent through the nozzle 37 that engages with the bottom of the connector 25.

[0037] Specifically, the inner opening structure of each individual nozzle 37 can engage with the sealing gasket.

[0038] Specifically, a groove is provided on the outer side of the fastener 26 and the connector 25, and a collar 36 with a cross-section of Z-shape is sleeved on the outer surface of the fastener 26 and the connector 25 and inside the groove.

[0039] Specifically, the nozzle 37 includes a spray nozzle and a jet nozzle, and the diameter of the nozzle 37 gradually increases along the direction of rotation.

[0040] Specifically, the number of sprayers 3 used is at least 4 sets. During use, the transmission motor 31, which operates on the same principle as the worm motor 17, rotates through the transmission of the second gear 32 and the third gear 33, which drives the worm gear 34 in the middle of the bottom to mesh with the gear ring 35 and rotate a fixed number of turns. This achieves the purpose of precisely flipping the collar 36, thereby driving the nozzle 37 to flip at a fixed angle and realize the switching of the nozzle 37. The total number of sprayers 3 used needs to be determined according to the number of nozzles required at the bottom. The number of nozzles 37 used is divided into multiple sets, but the optimal number of actual uses is 8 sets, which are divided into 4 sets of spray nozzles and 4 sets of jet nozzles. This can be used in conjunction with the back-end control and scheduling system and relay switch to control the rotation of the two sets of motors and the operation of the shooting system.

[0041] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
