Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an external wall insulation board, specifically, to an automated installation device and construction method for an external wall insulation board. Background Technology

[0002] Exterior wall insulation boards, also known as integrated exterior wall decoration boards, are composite materials made of polymer mortar, fiberglass mesh, flame-retardant molded polystyrene foam board, or extruded polystyrene board. They are the preferred material for improving the thermal insulation level of industrial and civil buildings, and are also the first choice for energy-saving renovations of existing buildings. They are commonly used for high-rise exterior walls, indoor shopping malls, and industrial equipment, offering advantages such as low cost, good performance, corrosion resistance, and no pollution. The installation process for exterior wall insulation boards typically includes the following steps: wall leveling, layout and segmentation, insulation board cutting, bracket installation, dry-hanging installation, joint caulking, and cleaning and protection. After installing the insulation board brackets on the wall, the partition wall insulation boards can be installed.

[0003] In existing technologies, when installing exterior wall insulation panels, workers typically lower a suspended platform from the roof or higher floors using ropes. The platform then stands on it to work on the wall. Due to the combined effects of the workers' reaction forces and wind, the platform sways constantly, creating safety hazards and significantly affecting the workers' precision, resulting in inconsistent insulation panel adhesion quality. Especially when wind speeds exceed level four or five, the excessive swaying necessitates an immediate halt to work for safety reasons, disrupting the construction process and causing delays.

[0004] Therefore, the known methods of installing building exterior wall insulation boards have the aforementioned inconveniences and problems. Summary of the Invention

[0018] The safe and reliable automated installation equipment for external wall insulation panels of the present invention can be further realized by the following technical measures.

[0019] The aforementioned safe and reliable automated installation equipment for exterior wall insulation panels, wherein the frame is a bar-type semi-frame.

[0020] A construction method for an automated installation device for exterior wall insulation panels, characterized by the following steps:

[0021] a. Install the frame for the insulation board. After the frame is installed, install the guide rail frame onto the exterior wall and position it where the exterior wall insulation board needs to be installed.

[0022] b. Drive the lead screw to rotate via the second motor, and the lead screw drives the lifting plate to move. First, move the lifting plate to the bottom of the storage box, and then put the insulation board into the storage box and let it fall onto the lifting plate.

[0023] c. Move the storage box to the guide rail frame, insert the pulley into the guide rail frame and into the connecting seat, and then fix the connecting rod to the pulley with bolts so that the pulley and the guide rail frame can slide, so that the pulley can support the storage box and the guide rail frame can guide the connecting rod, thereby preventing the storage box from shaking when moving.

[0024] d. Provide a lifting device, connect the rope to the lifting ring, and move the frame up or down by lowering or raising the rope, so as to move it to the construction height;

[0025] e. After moving to the construction position, the insulation board is driven to move upward by the lifting device until it is flush with the upper surface of the storage box. Then, the sliding frame is driven to move downward by the first telescopic cylinder. The sliding frame then drives the mounting plate to move downward, so that the mounting plate drives the clamping suction cup to move downward, so that the clamping suction cup contacts the insulation board and picks up the insulation board.

[0026] f. Drive the insulation plate upward by the first telescopic cylinder to separate it from the storage box. By shrinking the overall length of the rotating frame and the sliding frame, space is provided for the insulation plate to flip. Drive the insulation plate to flip by the first motor, so that the insulation plate rotates from a horizontal state to a vertical state.

[0027] g. The insulation board is positioned at the mounting rack. Screws are pre-placed in the material box with their pointed ends facing the insulation board. Under gravity, they automatically fall into the guide groove, which contains magnets to secure the screws and prevent them from falling out. The electric screwdriver and second telescopic cylinder are activated. The electric screwdriver drives the screwdriver bit to rotate, and the second telescopic cylinder moves the electric screwdriver, which in turn moves the screwdriver bit towards the insulation board. This causes the screw to rotate and move, screwing it into the insulation board and into the frame on the wall. This completes the installation of one insulation board. When the screwdriver bit retracts, the screw above automatically falls into the guide groove, ready for the next use.

[0028] h. Then, using the lifting device, move it upwards one unit and repeat the above installation steps to automatically complete the installation of the insulation board.

[0029] After adopting the above technical solution, the automated installation equipment and construction method for external wall insulation panels of the present invention have the following advantages:

[0030] 1. Implement automated construction; the guide rail frame ensures normal operation even in windy weather and prevents swaying.

[0031] 2. The clamping device, in conjunction with the drive assembly, can automatically transport the horizontally placed insulation board to the wall, and then automatically fix it with screws through the screw-on and screw-down mechanisms. This avoids manual high-altitude work, ensures safety, and is not affected by weather conditions. Attached Figure Description

[0051] S4. During construction, a hoisting device is needed to connect the rope to the hoisting ring 11. By lowering the rope or raising the rope, the frame 3 can be moved up or down to the construction height.

[0052] S5. After moving to the construction position, the insulation board is driven to move upward by the lifting device 9 until it is flush with the upper surface of the storage box 2.
