Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a steel formwork transportation system, and particularly to a transportation system and a method for accurately and quickly positioning steel formwork. Background Technology

[0002] In precast concrete component manufacturing plants, standardized steel formwork is commonly used as the outer mold. After demolding the component once, the inside of the steel formwork needs to be cleaned to ensure it is smooth and free of impurities, guaranteeing the flatness of the concrete component's outer surface for subsequent use. Currently, mechanical cleaning is generally used, reducing manpower while ensuring cleaning effectiveness. However, accurately positioning the steel formwork within the designated area of ​​the cleaning equipment often requires lengthy fine-tuning using a crane, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0003] In existing technologies, steel formwork is generally large in size and heavy in weight, so cranes are typically used for handling. However, since cranes are mainly used for lifting and moving heavy objects, they are inadequate when faced with the requirement of precise positioning of steel formwork in a designated area of ​​the cleaning equipment. In addition, since cranes use steel wire ropes to bind the steel formwork, it often sways during positioning, making it difficult to position quickly and requiring a lot of time. It takes the cooperation of on-site workers and crane operators to complete the positioning of the formwork.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new technological solution to address the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects in the prior art where the steel formwork cannot be quickly positioned during cleaning and requires a lot of time to adjust its position, and to provide a transportation system and a method for accurately and quickly positioning the steel formwork.

[0006] The present invention solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical solution:

[0007] A transport system is provided for a prefabrication yard cleaning area, the cleaning area including a cleaning track for moving cleaning equipment, including transport trolleys and support beams erected on the ground of the prefabrication yard cleaning area; the number of support beams is at least two, the support beams are spaced apart along the extension direction of the cleaning track, and the extension direction of the support beams forms an angle with the extension direction of the cleaning track; the support beams directly serve as the track for the transport trolleys, and the transport trolleys move on the support beams; the number of transport trolleys is at least two, and the at least two transport trolleys are located on different support beams.

[0008] In this solution, the transportation system is used in the prefabrication yard's cleaning area. Support beams erected on the ground between the cleaning tracks serve as the tracks for the transport trolleys. Moving along these existing support beams requires no on-site modifications, and the support beams can be readily purchased as pre-made components or custom-made, making it convenient and practical. Multiple transport trolleys are positioned on different support beams, expanding the system's applicability and improving efficiency. The system is simple to arrange, easy to maintain, and cost-effective. It can also be adjusted according to the actual dimensions of the support beams on site, making it highly adaptable.

[0009] Preferably, the transport vehicle includes a body and wheels, wherein the body has a downwardly open interior space, the wheels are located within the interior space, and the wheels and the body are rotatably connected.

[0010] This solution effectively reduces the ineffective volume of the transport trolley, improves load-bearing capacity, and ensures stable operation by rotating the wheels and internal space. It is fully functional, and the connection structure with the transport trolley is simple, reducing costs and facilitating future maintenance.

[0011] Preferably, the vehicle body includes an upper plate and two side plates, the side plates being connected to the upper plate, and the wheels being rotatably connected to the side plates.

[0012] In this design, the vehicle body structure is simple, the cost is low, and the maintenance is convenient. It can also be adjusted according to the actual support beam size, making it highly adaptable.

[0013] Preferably, the transport trolley includes a plurality of wheels arranged along the wheel axis, the maximum width of the plurality of wheels being greater than the width of the support beam; or there is only one wheel along the wheel axis, the maximum width of the single wheel being greater than the width of the support beam.

[0014] In this design, the transport trolley maintains good balance when moving on the support beam, thus improving the stability of transporting the steel formwork.

[0015] Preferably, the transport trolley includes a body and wheels, the two sides of the body being greater in height than the diameter of the wheels, and the lower ends of the two sides of the body extending to the sides of the support beam.

[0016] In this design, the vehicle body extends to both sides of the track, restricting the travel route of the transport trolley on the support beam, thus allowing the transport trolley to travel longitudinally along the support beam.

[0017] Preferably, the transport vehicle includes a vehicle body, the upper surface of which is parallel to the ground, forming a cargo platform.

[0018] In this design, the loading platform is parallel to the ground and is used to place the steel formwork. When supporting the steel formwork, the force is evenly distributed, making the support structure more stable.

[0019] Preferably, at least one omnidirectional roller is provided on the upper surface of the vehicle body.

[0020] In this design, when the transport trolley moves along the support beam, the steel formwork placed on the upper surface can simultaneously undergo horizontal displacement, unaffected by the fixed direction of the trolley's movement, making it easier to position the steel formwork.

[0021] Preferably, the transport trolley is equipped with an engine, which is connected to the wheels of the transport trolley via a drive shaft.

[0022] In this solution, an engine is used to control the movement of the transport trolley after power is applied. The operation is simple, time-saving, and labor-saving, and it can effectively achieve rapid positioning.

[0023] Preferably, fixing blocks are provided on both sides of the support beam, and a worm gear is connected in the middle of the fixing blocks. A worm wheel is installed inside the transport trolley, and the worm wheel meshes with the worm gear.

[0024] In this solution, the transport trolley can be equipped with components for manual control and movement. The installation process is simple, and it is more convenient and practical for areas and scenarios where there is no additional power supply on site.

[0025] Preferably, a handwheel is fitted on one side of the worm gear, and the center of the handwheel is fixed to the worm gear.

[0026] In this solution, a worm gear is used to control the movement of the transport trolley. Manual control allows for precise control of the transport trolley's movement distance, enabling effective and accurate positioning.

[0027] Preferably, the transportation system includes multiple positioning posts, which are disposed on one side of the cleaning track and arranged along the direction of the cleaning track.

[0028] In this solution, setting up positioning stakes improves the positioning accuracy of the transport vehicle and reduces unnecessary adjustments, effectively increasing the positioning speed.

[0029] A method for precise and rapid placement of steel formwork, which utilizes a transportation system, includes the following steps:

[0030] Using a crane, steel formwork is transported from the production area to the prefabrication yard cleaning area;

[0031] The steel template is placed on a transport trolley in the prefabrication yard cleaning area;

[0032] The position of the steel formwork is adjusted by moving the transport trolleys on different support beams.

[0033] In this solution, the steel formwork is hoisted to the cleaning area and placed on a transport trolley in the prefabrication yard cleaning area. The position of the steel formwork is adjusted using the transport system, which reduces the time required for the crane to be involved in positioning. By moving multiple transport trolleys, the position of the steel formwork can be quickly adjusted, which can effectively avoid the problem of inaccurate positioning and achieve rapid and accurate positioning.

[0034] The positive and progressive effects of this invention are as follows: it eliminates the need for cranes to spend a long time fine-tuning the template. The transport trolley in the transportation system can be used to support the steel template while providing the advantages of rapid movement and positioning. The time required for crane intervention is greatly reduced. The template only needs to be hoisted onto the trolley in the general area at the beginning and then left. The subsequent positioning is carried out quickly and accurately by the transportation system, which effectively improves the positioning accuracy. Attached Figure Description

[0057] The present invention will be further illustrated by way of embodiments below, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the embodiments.

[0058] Example 1

[0059] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, a transportation system is provided for a prefabrication yard cleaning area. The prefabrication yard cleaning area includes a cleaning track 1 for moving cleaning equipment, including a transport trolley 3 and support beams 2 erected on the ground of the prefabrication yard cleaning area. There are at least two support beams 2, which are spaced apart along the extension direction of the cleaning track 1, and the extension direction of the support beams 2 forms an angle with the extension direction of the cleaning track 1. The support beams 2 directly serve as the track for the transport trolley 3, and the transport trolley 3 moves on the support beams 2. There are at least two transport trolleys 3, and the at least two transport trolleys 3 are located on different support beams 2.

[0060] The transportation system is used in the prefabrication yard's cleaning area. It utilizes support beams 2 erected on the ground between cleaning tracks 1 as the tracks for transport trolleys 3. Moving along these existing support beams requires no on-site alterations, and the support beams 2 can be readily available components or custom-made. The system is convenient and practical when paired with transport trolleys 3 of corresponding dimensions. Multiple transport trolleys 3 are mounted on different support beams 2, expanding the system's applicability and improving efficiency. The system is simple to install, easy to maintain, and cost-effective. It can be adjusted according to the actual dimensions of the support beams on site, making it highly adaptable. This transportation system can be used not only in prefabrication yards but also in any site with supporting structures, where matching transport trolleys 3 can be installed and used for transportation.

[0061] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the transport trolley 3 includes a body and wheels 4. The body has a downward-opening interior space, and the wheels 4 are located within the interior space and are rotatably connected to the body. The body includes an upper plate 5 and two side plates 6, which are connected to the upper plate 5. The wheels 4 are rotatably connected to the side plates 6.

[0062] The vehicle body has an opening facing downwards, providing an internal space. The wheels 4 are housed within this internal space, effectively reducing the ineffective volume of the transport trolley 3 and improving its load-bearing capacity. The wheels 4 are rotatably connected to the internal space, ensuring stable movement and a complete function. The transport trolley 3's body includes an upper plate 5 and two side plates 6. The side plates 6 are vertically connected to the upper plate 5, and the wheels 4 are rotatably connected to the side plates 6. The body structure is simple, low-cost, and easy to maintain. It can also be adjusted according to the actual support beam dimensions, making it highly adaptable. In other embodiments, the transport trolley 3's body can also be designed with other structures, requiring only the connection of the wheels 4 and load-bearing capacity.

[0063] In this embodiment, the transport trolley 3 includes multiple wheels 4 arranged along the axial direction of the wheels 4, and the maximum width of the multiple wheels 4 arranged together is greater than the width of the support beam 2; or there is only one wheel 4 along the axial direction of the wheels 4, and the maximum width of the single wheel 4 is greater than the width of the support beam 2. The wheels 4 cover a large area of ​​the support beam 2, which makes the transport trolley 3 have good balance when moving on the support beam 2, and improves the stability of transporting the steel template 14. In other embodiments, the width of the wheels 4 is not limited, as long as it meets the balance requirements of the transport trolley 3 during travel.

[0064] Furthermore, when the transport trolley 3 is electrically driven, it is equipped with two wheels 4. Two rows of wheels 4 are arranged along the direction of the support beam 2, and there is only one wheel 4 along its axial direction. The maximum width of a single wheel 4 is greater than the width of the support beam 2. In other embodiments, the number and arrangement of the wheels 4 of the transport trolley 3 are not specifically limited, as long as they can meet the normal driving requirements of the transport trolley 3.

[0065] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the transport trolley 3 includes a body and wheels 4. The sides of the body are taller than the diameter of the wheels 4, and the lower ends of the sides of the body extend to the sides of the support beam 2. The extension of the body to the sides of the track restricts the travel path of the transport trolley 3 on the support beam 2, allowing the transport trolley 3 to travel longitudinally along the support beam 2. In other embodiments, the length of the sides of the transport trolley 3 is not specifically limited; it is sufficient that the transport trolley 3 travels longitudinally along the support beam 2.

[0066] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the transport vehicle 3 includes a vehicle body, the upper surface of which is parallel to the ground to form a cargo platform, and at least one universal roller 7 is provided on the upper surface of the vehicle body.

[0067] The loading platform is used to place the steel formwork 14. Parallel to the ground, the platform distributes the force evenly when supporting the steel formwork 14, making the support structure more stable. Five evenly distributed universal rollers 7 are installed on the upper surface of the vehicle body. When the transport trolley 3 moves along the support beam, the steel formwork 14 placed on the upper surface can simultaneously undergo horizontal displacement, unaffected by the fixed direction of movement of the trolley, making it easier to position the steel formwork 14. In other embodiments, the transport trolley 3 can also be equipped with other components on its upper surface to meet the requirement of synchronous displacement of the steel formwork 14 when the transport trolley 3 moves.

[0068] In this embodiment, as Figure 2-3 As shown, an engine 8 is mounted on the outer side of the transport trolley 3, and the engine 8 is connected to the wheels 4 of the transport trolley 3 via a drive shaft. Applicable to areas and scenarios with additional power supply, the transport trolley 3 can be equipped with the engine 8 for electric drive. The engine 8 is connected to the wheels 4 of the transport trolley 3 via a drive shaft. After power is supplied, workers can control the transport trolley 3 to move along the support beam 2. Operation is simple, time-saving, and labor-saving, and can effectively achieve rapid positioning. In other embodiments, the transport trolley 3 can also be electrically driven in other forms, as long as it can be controlled by electricity to move the transport trolley 3.

[0069] Furthermore, the transportation system includes multiple positioning stakes 9, such as Figure 5 As shown, positioning stakes 9 are set on one side of the cleaning track 1, arranged along the direction of the cleaning track 1, and installed at one end of each support beam 2. During transportation, when one side of the steel formwork 14 comes into contact with the positioning stake 9, the transportation is considered complete. The positioning stakes 9 in the transportation system improve the positioning accuracy of the transport trolley 3 and reduce unnecessary adjustments, effectively increasing the positioning speed. In other embodiments, the positioning stakes 9 in this transportation system can be replaced by other auxiliary positioning components, as long as they provide accurate positioning reference.

[0070] In this embodiment, a method for accurately and quickly positioning a steel formwork 14 is provided, which is achieved using a transportation system and includes the following steps:

[0071] Step S1: Use a crane to lift the steel formwork 14 from the production area to the prefabrication yard cleaning area;

[0072] Step S2: Place the steel formwork 14 on the transport trolley 3 in the prefabrication yard cleaning area;

[0073] Step S3: Adjust the position of the steel formwork 14 by moving the transport trolleys 3 on different support beams 2.

[0074] Specifically, the steel formwork 14 is hoisted to the cleaning area and placed on the transport trolley 3 in the prefabrication yard cleaning area. The position of the steel formwork 14 is adjusted by using the transport system, which reduces the time for the crane to participate in positioning. By having workers control the movement of multiple transport trolleys 3, the position of the steel formwork 14 can be quickly adjusted, which can effectively avoid the problem of inaccurate positioning and achieve rapid and accurate positioning.

[0075] Example 2

[0076] In this embodiment 2, the difference from the above embodiment 1 is that, for areas and scenarios where there is no additional power supply on site, this embodiment enables manual control of the movement of the transport trolley 3 by equipping it with other components.

[0077] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 As shown, when the transport trolley 3 is moved by manual control, the transport trolley 3 is equipped with four wheels 4, with two rows of wheels 4 arranged along the direction of the support beam 2, and two wheels 4 arranged along the axial direction of the wheels 4. The maximum width after arrangement is greater than the width of the support beam 2.

[0078] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, fixing blocks 10 are provided on both sides of the support beam 2, and a worm gear 11 is connected in the middle of the fixing blocks 10. A worm wheel 12 is installed inside the transport trolley 3, and the worm wheel 12 meshes with the worm gear 11. A handwheel 13 is installed on one side of the worm gear 11, and the center of the handwheel 13 is fixed to the worm gear 11.

[0079] The transport trolley 3 is manually controlled to move by assembling components. The installation process is simple, making it more convenient and practical for areas and scenarios without additional power supply. A handwheel 13 is mounted on one side of the worm gear 11, with the center of the handwheel 13 fixed to the worm gear 11. Workers can rotate the worm gear 11 to control the movement of the transport trolley 3. Manual control allows for precise control of the movement distance of the transport trolley 3, enabling effective and accurate positioning.

[0080] In other embodiments, the manual control of the transport trolley 3 is not limited to the method of moving with the worm gear 12 and worm 11, and manual control of transport can also be achieved by using other components.

Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to these embodiments without departing from the principles and essence of the present invention, but all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
