Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of augmented reality, and particularly relates to an engineering technology training system based on augmented reality. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, China has attached great importance to the cultivation of engineering technology practical operation ability, and various colleges and universities have actively participated in the cultivation and training of skilled personnel and actively organized students to participate in engineering technology related competitions, such as masonry workers, decoration workers and other competitions. For a long time, they have occupied an important position in the national and world competitions and have been highly valued by various colleges and universities.

[0003] From the perspective of teaching requirements, the knowledge content of masonry plastering, steel bar processing and binding, wood processing and wall and roof decoration in engineering construction technology all belong to difficult and important content. Therefore, as a knowledge that must be learned and learned well, the combination of theory and practice is of great significance.

[0004] From the analysis of related content requirements, engineering technology professional ability training, safety education, emergency problem disposal, competition training and pre-service training have high specific operation content requirements. Therefore, real training needs to invest a lot of resources, including but not limited to cement, sandstone, bricks, brick cutting grinding machines, spades, line hangers, levels, trowels, rollers, paints, brushes and other tools; and professional personnel guidance is required, and the working environment requirements are also relatively high, which needs to consider weather, transportation, site size, cleaning convenience and many other requirements.

[0005] From the analysis of education resources conditions, masonry, especially cement with a shelf life of only three months, standard block loading and unloading easily damaged, mixing water transportation, tool wear and tear, dust pollution on physical health, masonry products cannot be reused, directly become construction waste, and the volume and quality are very huge, loading and unloading transportation difficulty is similar to relocation. A school trained 6-8 masonry workers to participate in the vocational skill competition, and created more than 20 cubic meters of construction waste in a month. For example, the decoration workers, wall tile laying, paint brushing and other operation training, need to consider the fragility of materials, material odor, formaldehyde pollution and other serious problems. Woodworking needs to consider wood processing, electric saw and planer operation danger, and steel worker needs material processing, but such as steel cutting machine, straightening machine, etc. The cost is high, and the steel reinforcement needs a larger space and has the requirements of waterproof and rust prevention.

[0006] From a job requirement perspective, although plastering robots have emerged, their efficiency is limited by usage costs, especially operating conditions. They are typically used for simple, continuous wall work on large, uncomplicated surfaces, such as shear walls. Their efficiency drops significantly when encountering corners, door and window openings, etc. Furthermore, efficiency is also affected by factors such as site leveling, working environment, power supply, and mechanical malfunctions. Upgrading the technology and improving the equipment's artificial intelligence level would drastically increase costs, significantly impacting construction costs. Currently, high-tech equipment for related engineering technologies is relatively rare and can only solve relatively simple problems. Therefore, manual labor for masonry, plastering, steel and wood processing, and decoration remains the primary demand. Even with the addition of prefabricated buildings, the need for human assistance and manual operation at complex nodes still requires consideration.

[0007] From the perspective of job management and accident prevention, this approach helps operators clearly understand that accidents occur during actual work processes, not during specially prepared drills. As the saying goes, prevention is better than cure; safety and risk control need to start with beginners. Augmented reality simulations of safety issues encountered in actual operations, such as accidentally falling bricks hitting feet, personnel misoperation causing tools to fall from the air and hit people, or people suddenly losing their footing, constantly remind operators of the importance of safety risk control.

[0008] In summary, existing education, vocational skills training, and safety emergency drills in masonry, plastering, and wall construction suffer from problems such as high material costs, dust pollution, large space requirements for materials, and susceptibility to weather conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to provide an augmented reality-based engineering technology training system to address these issues.

[0058] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, the simulation physical operation device includes a conveyor belt 5 arranged on the overall frame 26, a grinder cutting model 13 arranged in the low area 12 of the overall frame 26, and a wired touch tool 29 for the operator to perform engineering technical operation, which is arranged on the overall frame 26. The conveyor belt 5 is a lifting conveyor belt 5, which serves as a workbench. The operator at the operation position wears an augmented reality glasses 36, picks up the touch tool 29 (physical tool), and performs operation on the virtual simulation engineering material (the simulation engineering material is displayed in the picture of the augmented reality glasses 36 through virtual technology, mainly including reinforcing steel bars, wood, bricks, pipes, welding materials, etc.) on the conveyor belt 5 to simulate engineering technical operation. The operator can simulate cutting operation at the grinder cutting model 13 through the virtual simulation engineering material. The surface of the conveyor belt 5 is provided with a sensor (not shown in the figure) for conducting the pressing effect of the touch tool 29. The conveyor belt 5 can be lifted to simulate the effect of continuously increasing the brick wall.

[0059] As shown in the figure, Figure 2 and Figure 12 The central control system includes a central control computer 9, a display, and a projection device. The central control computer 9 includes a host computer, a keyboard, and a mouse. The host computer is connected to the display and the projection device. The central control computer 9 is built-in with an overall operation system and a regional connection system. The central control computer 9 is an overall control device, which is connected to all devices and implements overall and real-time control on the operation process of the combination of software and hardware through the control system. The projection device includes a projector 35 and a projection screen 33. The projector 35 can be selected from common school classroom projector 35 models to ensure connection with the central control computer 9. The projection screen 33 is selected from common projection screen 33 materials with a width of 1.5 to 2 meters and a height of 1.5 to 2 meters. The display serves as a tool for normal operation display and information input in the central area. The central control computer 9, the display, and the projector 35 are placed on a computer desk 10.

[0062] As shown in Figures 2-4 , the overall frame 26 is composed of a metal skeleton 19 and a plurality of cover plates 18 covering the metal skeleton 19. The overall frame 26 has a high area 8 in the middle and a low area 12 located around the high area 8. The high area 8 is 0.25-0.5 meters high and 3-4 meters wide. The operation position, the conveyor belt 5, and the touch tool 29 are located in the high area 8, which is the main operation area for the operator. The low area 12 is about 0.1 meters higher than the indoor floor, which is the basic platform for the abrasive wheel cutting model 13 and the operation of the central control computer 9. The metal skeleton 19 is assembled by a plurality of shaped steel through welding or bolt connection, such as 20×20×1.5 hollow square steel, or other shaped steel such as I-beam and channel steel. Welding or steel bolt connection can be used to ensure the structural strength and stability, especially considering the vibration and impact of mechanical equipment and personnel walking. The metal skeleton 19 is covered with cover plates 18, which can be made of metal, hard plastic, or composite wood, with a thickness of 3-5 cm. Welding or bolt connection is used, and protective measures such as epoxy resin coating can be added on the upper part of the cover plate 18 to consider the stress and wear resistance. The left and right sides and the back of the overall frame 26 are provided with three side guards 7, which are 0.5-1 meters high and used to enclose the work in the overall frame 26 to ensure the operation environment. The side guards 7 can be made of plastic or metal.

[0063] As shown in Figure 2 , the computer desk 10 is installed in the low area 12 and is 0.5-1 meters high. The material is transparent acrylic plastic plate, which is used to place the central control computer 9, display, and projector 35. The shape of the desktop can be designed as a circle or a square. The lower part of the computer desk 10 is provided with a matching equipment slot 11 for matching and adding related servers, central control computer 9 host, and other equipment.

[0064] like Figure 2 As shown, the grinding wheel cutting model 13 is a machine model made of acrylic plastic sheet. It is set at a height of about 1 meter, which is suitable for the operator to operate from the operating position in the high area 8, and is used for augmented reality operation. The grinding wheel cutting model 13 is installed on the grinding wheel chassis 14 in the low area 12. It is a circular platform and it is strictly forbidden to place any objects on it. The equipment expansion slot 15 is located below the grinding wheel chassis 14. Its shape and position can serve as a carrier for augmented reality. That is, through augmented reality glasses 36, one can observe the position and operation of buttons and other controls below the grinding wheel cutting model 13.

[0065] like Figure 5 As shown, the training system also includes a lifting foot pedal 22 for simulating the feeling of working at height. A foot pedal groove 24 is provided at the operating position of the overall frame 26. For example, one foot pedal groove 24 is provided on each side of the conveyor belt 5 in the high zone 8. Several sets of lifting springs 23 are provided in the foot pedal groove 24. The lower end of the lifting foot pedal 22 is connected to and supported by the upper end of the lifting springs 23. The lifting springs 23 are responsible for raising and lowering the lifting foot pedal 22, with a maximum load capacity of 250 kg. By extending and retracting several lifting springs 23, the lifting foot pedal 22 can be raised, lowered, and swayed left and right. Initially, the lifting foot pedal 22 is located at the top of the foot pedal groove 24, sealing it. Preferably, two sets of lifting springs 23 are provided in the middle and on each of the left and right sides of the bottom of the lifting foot pedal 22, for a total of six sets of lifting springs 23. Each set of lifting springs 23 includes a columnar spring 23 and a jack 25 located within the spring 23. The jack 25 is connected to an electromagnetic switch to control its operation. The lower end of spring 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom of pedal groove 24, and the upper end of spring 23 is fixedly connected to the lower end of lifting foot pedal 22. The upper end of jack 25 is not connected to the lower end of lifting foot pedal 22; the two may or may not be in contact. By raising and lowering jack 25, spring 23 can extend and retract, causing lifting spring 23 to rise and lower, and lifting foot pedal 22 to rise and lower. By extending and retracting several lifting springs 23, lifting foot pedal 22 can rise and fall and swing left and right.

[0066] The operator's foot steps on the designated area of the lifting footboard 22, which is used to simulate the lifting footboard of the scaffold, the feeling of the operation of the high-altitude construction, and the range of the operator's foot stepping exceeds the designated area. All the lifting springs 23 are synchronously shortened, and the lifting footboard 22 will be lowered within 10 cm to play a warning role, and the safety management effect in the actual combat is highlighted. When the middle two groups of lifting springs 23 are lifted by the jacks 25 by 0.1 meters, the jacks 25 on the left and right sides are not in action, so that the springs 23 on the left and right sides are slightly higher than the jacks 25 inside, and the lifting footboard 22 swings left and right, which can create a subtle shaking feeling under the foot. After the jacks 25 on the left and right sides are lowered, the length of the spring 23 extending outside the jack 25 increases, and the swing is strengthened to simulate the safety problem in the operation process and give the operator a real experience. After the experience is over, the operator directly jumps in place, the jacks 25 are retracted, the lifting springs 23 are pressed back to the original normal height, and the lifting footboard 22 returns to the original normal height.

[0067] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , in the present application, the conveyor belt 5 is installed in the support 6 frame fixed to the overall frame 26, and a lifting mechanism for driving the conveyor belt 5 to lift in the support 6 frame is installed on the support 6 frame. The lifting mechanism is a prior art, and its structure and principle are not described here. Among them, the support 6 frame includes four supports 6 arranged at the four corners outside the conveyor belt 5. The inner side of each support 6 frame is provided with a vertically extending lifting rail 17. The support 6 is selected as a slot steel to ensure its reliability, firmness and durability. The height is 2-3 meters, and the bottom is connected to the metal skeleton 19. The conveyor belt 5 has a sliding column clamped in the lifting rail 17 and sliding in the rail. The lifting rail 17 is provided with upper and lower barriers limiting the upward and downward movement range of the conveyor belt 5.
