Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0035] It should be understood that the various steps described in the method embodiments of the present disclosure may be performed in different orders and / or in parallel. In addition, the method embodiments may include additional steps and / or omit the steps shown. The scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0036] The term "including" and its variations used herein are open inclusions, i.e., "including but not limited to". The term "based on" means "based at least in part on". The term "one embodiment" means "at least one embodiment"; the term "another embodiment" means "at least one additional embodiment"; the term "some embodiments" means "at least some embodiments". The relevant definitions of other terms will be given in the following description.

[0037] In the related art, when the formwork concrete is subjected to moisture-maintaining maintenance, the treatment is carried out after the formwork is removed to expose the entire surface of the formwork concrete. The humidity of the formwork concrete wrapped in the formwork before demolding is not regulated. The lack of monitoring before demolding makes it impossible to finely manage the entire process of formwork concrete maintenance and to carry out high-quality construction. At the same time, since the concrete formwork engineering and formwork concrete maintenance are implemented as two independent processes and the degree of intensiveness is low, the efficiency of regulation cannot be guaranteed.

[0038] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the related art, the present application embodiment provides a steel bar intelligent bending system, see Figure 1 , Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of the steel bar intelligent bending system provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the steel bar intelligent bending system has a loading support frame 1 arranged horizontally, and a bending machine head walking guide rail 5 and a material transfer robot walking guide rail 6 are arranged in parallel on the side of the loading support frame 1, a feeding roller 3 and a magnetic feeding device 4 are installed on the loading support frame 1, a bending machine head 7 is installed on the bending machine head walking guide rail 5, and a material holding robot 8 is installed on the material transfer robot walking guide rail 6, a visual recognition device 2 and a material blocking device 9 are provided at the front end of the feeding roller 3, the visual recognition device 2 is used to identify the end face of the steel bar to obtain the steel bar code, and the steel bar intelligent bending system is connected to the steel bar processing process control system in real time communication.

[0039] In one embodiment, each part of the steel bar bending system has different roles and functions to complete the bending process of the steel bars. Specifically, the feeding support frame 1 is used to place the steel bars that need to be bent, and the stored steel bars can be of various specifications and sizes. At the same time, a bending machine head walking guide rail 5 and a manipulator walking guide rail 6 are arranged in parallel on one side of the feeding support frame 1, wherein the bending machine head walking guide rail 5 is used to install the bending machine head 7, and the manipulator walking guide rail 6 is used to install the manipulator 8, and the number of the installed bending machine heads 7 is several, and the manipulator 8 is used to transfer the steel bars placed on the raw material support frame 1 to the station for steel bar bending processing, and the station for steel bar processing is composed of the bending machine head 7.

[0040] In addition, a feeding roller 3 and a magnetic feeding device 4 are also installed on the loading support frame 1, wherein the feeding roller 3 is used to place the steel bars that need to be bent, and the magnetic feeding device 4 is used to adsorb the steel bars on the loading support frame 1 to a characteristic position, such as alignment to the zero position. At this time, the zero position alignment of the steel bars is achieved in combination with the blocking device 9. Specifically, when the magnetic feeding device 4 is energized, an adsorption force is generated to adsorb the steel bars, thereby moving the steel bars to the feeding roller 3.

[0041] At the same time, the intelligent steel bar bending system first identifies the steel bar to be bent, determines the identification of the processed steel bar, specifically the steel bar code, and then determines the processing technology for bending the steel bar based on the steel bar code. Therefore, for the processed steel bar, it is necessary to mark the steel bar code at the end of the steel bar in advance, and then when the bending process is performed, the visual recognition device 2 in the intelligent steel bar bending system identifies the end face of the steel bar to obtain the steel bar code to determine the processing technology for processing the steel bar.

[0042] Furthermore, the steel bar intelligent bending system is connected in real-time communication with the steel bar processing process control system that performs processing control. After the steel bar intelligent bending system identifies the steel bars that need to be bent and transfers the required steel bars to the bending station, the steel bar processing process control system determines the processing technology based on the steel bar code identified by the steel bar intelligent bending system, and then controls the steel bar intelligent bending system to bend the steel bars based on the processing technology.

[0043] Furthermore, the loading support frame 1 includes a frame body 10, and a plurality of cross beams 11 are arranged equidistantly in the horizontal direction on the top of the frame body 10. A material blocking plate 12 is arranged at one end of the cross beam 11 away from the walking guide rail 6 of the material transferring robot, and a material guide plate 13 is arranged at one end of the cross beam 11 close to the walking guide rail 6 of the material transferring robot.

[0044] In one embodiment, for the steel bars placed on the loading support frame 1, the cross beam 11 is responsible for the placement task, that is, the combination of multiple cross beams 11 can enable the steel bars to be placed stably on the loading support frame 1. At the same time, in order to ensure the placement stability of the steel bars, corresponding components can be set at both ends of the cross beam 11 so that the placed steel bars will not move at will. Therefore, a material baffle plate 12 and a material guide plate 13 are set at both ends of the cross beam 11, wherein the material baffle plate 11 is set at the end away from the walking guide rail 6 of the material transfer robot, and is used as a boundary fence for placing the steel bars. The material guide plate 13 is set at the end close to the walking guide rail 6 of the material transfer robot, and is used to guide the steel bars that need to be bent to the feeding roller 3 for subsequent processing.

[0045] Furthermore, the visual recognition device 2 is arranged on a visual recognition frame 21 at the front end of the feeding roller, and a CCD camera 22 and a light source 23 are arranged on the visual recognition bracket 21, and the CCD camera 22 is arranged at one end away from the front end baffle of the feeding roller 3, and the light source 23 is arranged at one end close to the front end baffle of the feeding roller 3.

[0046] In one embodiment, through the setting of the visual recognition device 2, the steel bars to be bent can be automatically identified, and the steel bar codes of the steel bars that need to be bent can be determined, so that the steel bar processing process control system can determine the processing technology based on the steel bar code, so as to control the steel bar intelligent bending system to bend the steel bars that need to be bent based on the processing technology.

[0047] Specifically, when identifying the steel bar code of the steel bar, the steel bar is first transferred to the feeding roller 3, and then the visual recognition device 2 is started, and the end face of the steel bar is photographed by turning on the light source 23 and the CCD camera 22, wherein the light source 23 is used to determine the brightness and clarity of the end face of the steel bar to obtain the end face image of the steel bar, and then the steel bar code of the steel bar is obtained by analyzing and identifying the end face image.

[0048] Further, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 It is a structural schematic diagram of the feed roller provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the feed roller 3 includes a roller support plate 31 and a V-groove plate 32 arranged on a frame 10, and a roller support 33 for fixing a non-powered roller 34 is arranged on the support plate, and the V-groove plate 32 is used for placing steel bars.

[0049] In one embodiment, the feeding roller 3 is used to perform zero-position alignment processing on the steel bars that need to be bent, and at the same time transfer the steel bars to a suitable position so that the material transfer robot 8 can accurately grab and transfer the steel bars.

[0050] Specifically, a roller support 33 is fixedly connected to the roller pallet 31, and the roller support 33 is used to fix the unpowered roller 34, and the roller 34 can rotate to complete the zero-position alignment of the steel bar. At the same time, a V-shaped groove plate 32 is provided on the side of the roller 34 for placing the steel bar so that the steel bar is in a stable placement device, thereby facilitating the material transfer robot 8 to grab the steel bar.

[0051] Further, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 It is a structural schematic diagram of the magnetic feeding device provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the magnetic feeding device 4 includes an electromagnet 41, a magnetic feeding device support plate 42 and a rodless cylinder 43, and the electromagnet 41 reciprocates along the length direction of the magnetic feeding device support plate 42 under the drive of the rodless cylinder 43.

[0052] In one embodiment, a rodless cylinder 43 is placed on the support plate 42 of the magnetic feeding device, and an electromagnet 41 is placed above the rodless cylinder 43, and the electromagnet 41, the magnetic feeding device drag rod 42 and the rodless cylinder 43 can be fixedly connected, wherein the electromagnet 41 is used to adsorb and fix the steel bars that need to be bent, and at the same time, under the action of the rodless cylinder 43, the electromagnet 41 can reciprocate in the length direction of the support plate 42 of the magnetic feeding device to perform zero-position alignment on the steel bars.

[0053] Further, refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4It is a structural schematic diagram of a material transfer manipulator provided in an embodiment of the present application. In the steel bar intelligent bending system, a plurality of material transfer manipulators 8 are arranged horizontally along the material transfer manipulator walking rail, and each material transfer manipulator 8 is composed of a sliding base 81, a rotating manipulator arm 82, a rotating servo drive motor 83 and a manipulator clamp 84. The sliding base 851 fixes the rotating manipulator arm 82, and the sliding base 81 moves horizontally on the material transfer manipulator walking rail 6 under the drive of the rotating servo drive motor 83. The rotating manipulator arm 82 completes a circular motion on a vertical plane under the drive of the rotating servo drive motor 83. The rotating manipulator arm 82 is connected to the manipulator clamp 84, and the manipulator clamp 84 is driven based on the set cylinder.

[0054] Specifically, the material transfer manipulator 8 is laterally arranged with multiple parts along the material transfer manipulator walking guide rail 6, so that when grasping the steel bars, the grasping stability can be guaranteed, and the heavy and high-specification steel bars can be grasped and bent. Each material transfer manipulator 8 includes four parts, namely, a sliding bottom block 81, a rotating mechanical arm 82, a rotating servo drive motor 83, and a manipulator clamp 84. Among them, the sliding bottom block 81 is used to realize the movement on the material transfer manipulator walking guide rail 6, the rotating mechanical arm 82 is used to realize the transfer of the steel bars from the visual recognition station to the bending station, the rotating servo drive motor 83 is used to drive the rotating mechanical arm 82 and the sliding bottom block 81 to move, and the manipulator clamp 84 is used to grasp the steel bars. In actual applications, the sliding bottom block 81 is fixedly connected to the rotating servo drive motor 83, one end of the rotating mechanical arm 82 is flexibly connected to the rotating servo drive motor 83, and the other end of the rotating mechanical arm 82 is provided with a manipulator clamp 84.

[0055] When the material transfer robot 8 moves with the sliding of the sliding bottom block, the moving direction is the length direction of the material transfer robot's travel guide rail, which is consistent with the moving direction of the electromagnet described above.

[0056] Further, refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 It is a structural schematic diagram of a bending head provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the bending head 6 includes a chassis 61, a guide wheel 62 is arranged at the bottom of the chassis 61, and the guide wheel 62 controls the chassis 61 to move laterally along the bending head walking guide rail 5 under the drive of the motor, and a liftable bending mandrel fixing disk 63 and a bending shaft rotating disk 64 are arranged on the chassis 61, a bending mandrel 65 is installed on the bending mandrel fixing disk 63, and a bending shaft 66 is installed on the bending shaft rotating disk 64. The bending shaft rotating disk 64 drives the bending shaft 66 to make a circular motion around the center of the bending mandrel 65 under the drive of the motor, and a flipping plate 67 is arranged on the side of the chassis 61, and the flipping plate 67 flips up and down under the drive of the cylinder, and a clamp 68 is also arranged at the bottom of the chassis 61, and the clamp 68 realizes loosening and tightening and up and down process actions under the drive of the motor.

[0057] Specifically, when the bending of steel bars is realized, it is realized based on the operation of the bending head 6. At the same time, in order to realize the bending processing of steel bars of different specifications, a plurality of guide wheels 62 are arranged at the bottom of the chassis 61, and the guide wheels 62 are driven by the motor to control the chassis 61 to move horizontally on the bending head walking guide rail 5.

[0058] Exemplarily, the bending head 6 includes a chassis 61, and relevant components are arranged on the chassis 61 to realize the bending of the steel bars. Specifically, a liftable bending mandrel fixing plate 63 and a bending shaft rotating plate 64 are arranged on the chassis 61, and a bending mandrel 65 is installed on the bending mandrel fixing plate 63, and a bending shaft 66 is installed on the bending shaft rotating plate 64. When the steel bars are bent, the bending shaft rotating plate 64 drives the bending shaft 66 to make a circular motion around the center of the bending shaft 65 under the drive of the motor, and different rotation angles correspond to different bending requirements. By acquiring the processing technology, the bending angle of the steel bars is determined, and then the rotation of the bending shaft rotating plate 64 is realized by controlling the operation of the motor to achieve the required bending effect.

[0059] At the same time, in order to ensure the stability of the steel bar during the bending process, a clamp 68 is also provided on the chassis 61, and the clamp is controlled to be loose and move up and down by the drive of the motor. In addition, the steel bar that has been bent needs to be moved out of the bending station, so a flip plate 67 is also provided on the side of the chassis 61. After it is determined that the bending process of the steel bar is completed, the clamp 68 on the chassis 61 is first controlled to be loosened, and then the flip plate 67 is controlled to flip, so that the processed steel bar is flipped from the chassis 61 to a specific location, such as a finished material warehouse, and the bending process of a steel bar is completed.

[0060] Further, refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 It is a left view schematic diagram of the steel bar intelligent bending system provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0061] In one embodiment, during the operation of the intelligent steel bar bending system, the material transfer robot rotates to one side of the feed roller to grab the steel bars placed on the feed roller, and then the motor drives the material transfer robot to rotate to transfer the grabbed steel bars to the bending station, that is, to the bending head for fixation, and then the motor drives the bending axis on the chassis to rotate and move in a circular motion around the center of the bending center axis, so that the steel bars can achieve the required bending process.

[0062] It should be noted that the intelligent rebar bending system is also connected to the rebar processing control system in real time communication. The rebar code identified by the rebar bending system is transmitted to the rebar processing control system, and then the rebar processing control system determines the processing technology for bending based on the rebar code, and then controls the operation of the bending head according to the processing technology to achieve the bending of the rebar.

[0063] Further, refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 It is a flow chart of the steel bar intelligent bending method provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the steps include S1 to S13.

[0064] S1, hoisting the whole bundle of steel bar components to the loading support frame by vertical transportation tools and unbundling;

[0065] S2, select a single steel bar from the whole bundle of steel bar components and put it into the feeding roller;

[0066] S3, controls the front baffle of the feeding roller to rise, and controls the excitation of the electromagnet in the magnetic suction feeding device to transfer the single steel bar to the processing zero position;

[0067] S4, after controlling the front baffle to fall, controlling the visual recognition device to recognize the end of a single steel bar to obtain steel bar coding information;

[0068] S5, identifying the steel bar coding information and obtaining a processing instruction for processing a single steel bar;

[0069] S6, controlling the material transfer robot to move to a preset position and keeping the end clamp of the material transfer robot in a loosened state;

[0070] S7, controlling the bending machine head to move to a preset position, and adjusting the clamp and the bending mandrel on the bending machine head to be at the preset position;

[0071] S8, controlling the material transfer manipulator to rotate to the feeding roller, and controlling the end clamp to clamp a single steel bar;

[0072] S9, controlling the material transfer robot to rotate to the bending station, and raising the clamp and the bending mandrel on the bending machine head to the target position;

[0073] S10, after the clamp of the bending machine head is clamped, the end clamp of the material transfer manipulator is controlled to be loosened, and the material transfer manipulator is adjusted to a suitable position;

[0074] S11, according to the bending information contained in the processing instruction, the bending axis on the bending machine head is controlled to rotate, and a bent single steel bar is obtained when the rotation action is completed;

[0075] S12, after obtaining the bent single steel bar, controlling the turning mechanism on the bending machine head to turn up and push the bent single steel bar into the finished product bin;

[0076] S13, again selecting a single steel bar in the entire bundle of steel bar components to complete the bending process of the entire bundle of steel bar components.

[0077] Specifically, when bending steel bars, it is realized based on the steel bar intelligent bending system combined with the steel bar processing process control system. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the processed steel bars are pre-marked with steel bar codes on the end faces of the steel bars, and then through combined processing, the steel bars can be automatically bent.

[0078] Exemplarily, when bending steel bars, the entire bundle of steel bar components is lifted by a vertical transport tool to a loading support frame and unpacked, and only one steel bar can be bent at a time. Therefore, it is necessary to select a single steel bar from the entire bundle of steel bar components to dial it into the feeding roller, and then the electromagnet in the magnetic feeding device is energized and the baffle rises synchronously to adsorb the dialed single steel bar, so as to drag the single steel bar to the baffle to achieve zero-position alignment. Then, the baffle falls and the visual recognition device is started. By controlling the start of the CCD camera and the light source, the end of the steel bar is photographed and analyzed to obtain the steel bar code, and then the steel bar code is uploaded to the steel bar processing process control system. At this point, the positioning and identification of the single steel bar is completed.

[0079] After completing the positioning and code identification of a single steel bar, the steel bar processing process control system analyzes the received steel bar code to determine the processing technology for bending the single steel bar, specifically, the processing instructions for how to process the single steel bar. When determining the specific processing technology, the steel bar processing process control system can query and match based on the steel bar code to obtain the processing technology that matches the steel bar code.

[0080] After obtaining the processing technology (processing instructions) for bending processing, the material transfer robot will be controlled to grab and transfer the steel bars. When grabbing the steel bars, it is first necessary to move the material transfer robot to a suitable position and keep the clamp at the end in a loose state. The suitable position can be determined based on the steel bar coding, and the suitable positions corresponding to different steel bars are different.

[0081] While controlling the movement of the material transfer robot, the position of the bending head will also be controlled to adjust so as to move to the appropriate position of the bending head. The clamps and bending spindle on the bending head can be controlled to move to the default position or initial position to prevent the steel bars from colliding with the material transfer robot during the transfer process.

[0082] After completing the position adjustment, the material transfer robot will be controlled to complete the transfer of the steel bars from the visual recognition station to the bending station. Specifically, the material transfer robot is rotated to the feeding roller to control the clamp of the material transfer robot to clamp and complete the grabbing of the bar. Then it is rotated again to rotate the grabbed steel bars to the bending station. When reaching the bending station, the clamp and the bending mandrel on the sign of the bending machine head are controlled to adjust the position to the appropriate position to ensure that the steel bars can be fixed and the subsequent bending operation can be completed. After the clamp of the bending machine head clamps the steel bars, the clamp at the end of the material transfer robot is released, and the material transfer robot continues to fall to avoid the walking space of the bending machine head.

[0083] When the final bending operation is performed, the bending axis rotary disk is controlled to rotate based on the determined processing technology, and the rotation angle is determined based on the processing technology. In actual applications, the bending action can be multiple times. When performing multiple bending, after completing one bending action, the bending machine head can be shifted to the position of the next bending to control the bending axis rotary disk to rotate again until the last bending action is completed. For example, if a steel bar needs to be bent both forward and reverse at the same time, before the bending machine head is shifted, the bending mandrel and the bending axis must first be lowered to avoid the steel bar, and then raised again after moving into position to prepare for bending.

[0084] After completing the bending work of a single steel bar, the flipping plate that controls the sign of the bending machine head is flipped up to push the bent steel bar into the finished product bin, thus completing the bending work of the single steel bar.

[0085] For a whole bundle of steel bar components, by repeating the above steps, batch processing without intervals can be achieved. In order to improve the efficiency of the bending work, after the material transfer robot completes the transfer of the steel bar from the feeding roller to the bending station, steps S2 to S5 can be repeated to prepare for the processing of the next steel bar in advance.

[0086] In summary, the present application discloses a steel bar intelligent bending system, which includes a feeding support frame 1 arranged in the transverse direction, a bending machine head walking guide rail 5 and a material transfer manipulator walking guide rail 6 are arranged in parallel on the side of the feeding support frame 1, a feeding roller 3 and a magnetic feeding device 4 are installed on the feeding support frame 1, a bending machine head 7 is installed on the bending machine head walking guide rail 5, a material holding manipulator 8 is installed on the material transfer manipulator walking guide rail 6, and a visual recognition device 2 is provided at the front end of the feeding roller 3.
