Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of building technology, and specifically relates to an adjustable portal frame support system and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional portal frame support systems rely on the assembly of standard components to form a support system with a certain assembly width. Using conventional methods for portal frame installation, most existing portal frame supports are single-leg designs, making them unable to be adjusted according to actual working conditions and usage requirements. This results in them failing to meet usage needs in certain special environments. Furthermore, the installation process for some portal frame supports is quite cumbersome, requiring numerous installation equipment, increasing installation costs and time.

[0003] A search revealed several patents, including Chinese Patent Publication No. CN101886480A, which discloses an adjustable portal frame formwork support system (reference document 1) that adjusts the width of the portal frame using a pin structure; CN215330475U, which discloses a portal support frame (reference document 2) that supports the portal frame using fixed diagonal supports, pads, weights, and reinforced concrete beam tops; and CN221372460U, which discloses a portal frame-type inter-column support system (reference document 3) that provides support through a triangular support structure formed between the main diagonal bracing beam, lower crossbeam, and uprights. While reference document 1 employs an adjustable structure, the adjustable width of the portal frame limits its load-bearing capacity. Reference document 2 uses a fixed structure, resulting in a structurally limited and unadjustable portal frame. Reference document 3 uses a triangular support structure, which provides stability but is fixed, making adjustment inconvenient for situations requiring adjustment. Therefore, this paper proposes an adjustable portal frame support system and its usage method that allows adjustment based on the specific requirements of the portal frame. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides an adjustable portal frame support system and its usage method, which solves the problems of traditional portal frame support structures being fixed, inconvenient to adjust, and having certain limitations in application scenarios.

[0005] In view of the above problems, the technical solution proposed by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] An automatic leveling structure is installed at the bottom end of the outer support sleeve. The automatic leveling structure includes a hydraulic push rod, a top plate, and a leveling component. The top plate is welded to the top of the hydraulic push rod, and the leveling component is fixed to the surface of the top plate.

[0008] A sensor feedback system is used to monitor the usage status and horizontal status of the support system;

[0015] The control interface is used by staff to perform operations, including modifying leveling parameters, monitoring the leveling process, and performing manual intervention.

[0016] The data processing module is used to process data from the sensor feedback system.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the topology graph generation module includes a topology graph mapping unit, a state evaluation unit, and a relative position determination unit. The topology graph mapping unit maps the data preprocessed by the data processing module onto the topology graph, updates the state of each node, analyzes the interrelationships between nodes, and determines the influence relationships between support points.

[0018] The state evaluation unit, based on the topology map of the topology map mapping unit, is used to evaluate the difference between the current state and the preset state of the support point and to determine the deviation data.

[0019] The relative position determination unit is used to calculate the relative positional relationship between each support point in order to determine the balance state of the overall structure.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the detailed processing steps for the state data differences in the state evaluation unit are as follows:

[0021] Step 1: Based on the topology diagram and the physical properties of the support points, use finite element software to establish a finite element model for the analysis of the support points;

[0022] Step 2: Set the optimization objective for leveling and determine the constraints of the optimization objective;

[0023] Step 3: Use the algorithm to calculate the specific adjustment amount for each support point that needs to be adjusted;

[0024] Step four: Convert the calculated adjustment amount into specific control commands to ensure that the commands can be correctly understood and executed by the automatic leveling structure;

[0028] Step C: Match the analysis results with the preset control scheme in the control system.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when the topology mapping unit establishes the topology map, it is necessary to assign topological numbers to the support points. The detailed steps are as follows:

[0030] Step a: Number the support points of the automatic adjustment structure from 1 to n;

[0031] Step b: Select the numbering sequence based on the structure of the portal frame to reflect the physical location of the support points;

[0032] Step c: Determine the numbering intervals based on the number and area of ​​the gantry frames, and set independent numbering intervals for gantry frames in different locations or areas;

[0033] Step d: Synchronize the numbering information to the control system.

[0034] On the other hand, a method of using an adjustable portal frame support system includes the following steps:

[0035] S1. Based on the structure and location of the portal frame, a support system is pre-installed at its installation location. The bottom end of the portal frame is inserted into the central sleeve, and the central sleeve is supported by diagonal support rods and horizontal support rods.

[0036] S2, tilt sensors, level sensors, displacement sensors and pressure sensors are pre-installed at various key points of the support system. The sensors monitor the horizontal status of the structure in real time and transmit the data to the control system.

[0037] S3: The control system receives sensor data, performs routine preprocessing on the sensor data, generates a topology map using the topology map generation module, and adjusts the topology map based on the real-time transmitted data.

[0038] S4, the control system formulates a leveling scheme based on the results of the topology analysis and the changing trends of sensor data;

[0039] S5, based on the leveling strategy of the control system, controls the lifting and lowering of the hydraulic push rod at the position to be leveled for adjustment, and uses the sensor feedback system for real-time monitoring until the data is consistent with the leveling scheme. Then the control system stops sending control signals and completes the leveling work.

[0040] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0041] (1) By setting sleeves and external support columns, the present invention can achieve rapid and safe support for scaffolding legs, thereby improving work efficiency. By setting horizontal support rods and diagonal support rods, the stability of the entire support structure can be improved. By setting adjustment structure, the height of the uprights can be easily adjusted to meet the needs under different conditions.

[0042] (2) This invention uses sensors to collect data, collects support point data of the support system, establishes a topology map of the support points, and performs automatic leveling. The automatic leveling mechanism based on the topology map can adapt to different structural and environmental conditions. By adjusting the control strategy, it can cope with various complex leveling requirements, reduce the need for manual participation in the leveling process, and quickly complete the leveling task through automated control, significantly improving construction or installation efficiency.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0055] Example 1

[0056] See attached document Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: an adjustable portal frame support system, including a support structure 100, the support structure including a central sleeve 101, a plurality of oblique support rods 102 and horizontal support rods 103 arranged in a circular array on the outer side of the central sleeve 101, and an outer support sleeve 104 welded to the outer end of the horizontal support rods 103.

[0057] The automatic leveling structure 200 is installed at the bottom end of the outer support sleeve 104. The automatic leveling structure 200 includes a hydraulic push rod 201, a top plate 202 and a leveling component 203. The top plate 202 is welded to the top of the hydraulic push rod 201 and the leveling component 203 is fixed to the surface of the top plate 202.

[0058] Sensor feedback system 205 is used to monitor the usage status and horizontal status of the support system;

[0059] Control system 206 is used to automatically adjust the automatic leveling structure 200;

[0060] The topology diagram generation module 207 uses data monitored by the sensor feedback system 205 to create a topology diagram of the support points, representing the mutual influence and connection between the points. It accurately controls and automatically adjusts the structure to reach the preset horizontal state during the leveling process of the support system, based on the various components and their interrelationships.

[0061] The embodiments of the present invention are also implemented through the following technical solutions.

[0062] In an embodiment of the present invention, the inclined support rod 102 is located above the horizontal support rod 103. The number of inclined support rods 102 and horizontal support rods 103 is the same, and they are welded to the central sleeve 101 and the outer support sleeve 104. The inner thread of the outer support sleeve 104 is fitted with an adjusting rod 105. The bottom end of the adjusting rod 105 is engaged with an adjusting component. The central sleeve 101 is supported by the inclined support rod 102 and the horizontal support rod 103. The central sleeve 101 and the outer support sleeve 104 are used to connect to the portal frame. The number of outer support sleeves 104 is adjusted according to the structure of the portal frame.

[0063] In an embodiment of the present invention, the leveling component 203 includes a fixing block 2031, a screw 2032, and a spring 2033. The fixing block 2031 is welded to the upper surface of the top plate 202. A center block adapted to the screw 2032 is provided at the center of the fixing rod 2035. The fixing rod 2035 is fixed between the center block and the fixing block 2031. The spring 2033 surrounds the outside of the screw 2032, and the bottom end of the spring 2033 is fixedly connected to the center block. The upper end of the screw 2032 is connected to the adjusting rod 105. The screw 2032 is rotated by adjusting the adjusting rod 105. The distance between the support system and the portal frame is adjusted by adjusting the rotation of the adjusting rod 105 and the screw 2032. When the screw 2032 rotates downward, it compresses the spring 2033. The spring 2033 provides resistance during the rotation of the screw 2032. The force helps workers feel the leveling force, thus allowing for more precise control of the leveling process. When the desired level position is reached, the screw 2032 stops rotating, and the restoring force of the spring 2033 maintains the current position, preventing positional changes due to external forces or vibrations. This allows the support system to be manually adjusted. The screw 2032 and the fixing block 2031 work together to allow for precise vertical displacement with minute rotations, making it suitable for applications requiring high-precision leveling. The spring 2033 provides a damping effect, preventing the leveling process from becoming overly sensitive due to rapid rotation of the nut, thus contributing to smooth leveling. The bottom of the hydraulic push rod 201 is fixed with a support block 204, which is used for position installation. It can be fixed to the ground with bolts or cast into concrete blocks for position fixation.

[0064] In an embodiment of the present invention, the sensor feedback system 205 includes a displacement sensor 2051, a level sensor 2052, a tilt sensor 2053, and a pressure sensor 2054. The displacement sensor 2051 is used to monitor the height changes of the automatic leveling structure 200 and the support structure 100, and is typically a linear potentiometer, a magnetostrictive sensor, or a laser rangefinder. The level sensor 2052 is used to monitor the horizontal position of the automatic leveling structure 200 and the support structure 100. The tilt sensor 2053 is used to monitor the tilt angle of the automatic leveling structure 200 to determine whether it has reached a horizontal state. The pressure sensor 2054 is used to monitor the pressure borne by the automatic leveling structure 200 to ensure that the support force is within a safe range and to help determine whether it is evenly distributed. The displacement sensor 2051 is embedded in the top plate 202 and the portal frame to monitor the height of the top plate 202 and the portal frame. The level sensor 2052 is embedded inside the support block and the top plate 202 and on the bottom surface of the portal frame. The tilt sensor 2053 is disposed inside the top plate 202.

[0065] In an embodiment of the present invention, the control system 206 includes a central processing unit 2061, a control interface 2062, and a data processing module 2063. The central processing unit 2061 is used to control the adjustment of the automatic leveling structure 200.

[0066] The control interface 2062 is used by staff to operate the system, including modifying leveling parameters, monitoring the leveling process, and performing manual intervention.

[0067] The data processing module 2063 is used to process data from the sensor feedback system 205, including filtering, noise reduction, and calibration, to improve the accuracy and reliability of the data.

[0068] In an embodiment of the present invention, the topology generation module 207 includes a topology mapping unit 2071, a state evaluation unit 2072, and a relative position determination unit 2073. The topology mapping unit 2071 maps the data preprocessed by the data processing module 2063 onto the topology map, updates the state (such as height, pressure) of each node, analyzes the interrelationships between nodes, and determines the influence relationship between support points.

[0069] The state evaluation unit 2072, based on the topology map of the topology map mapping unit 2071, is used to evaluate the difference between the current state and the preset state of the support point and determine the deviation data.

[0070] The relative position determination unit 2073 is used to calculate the relative positional relationship between each support point in order to determine the balance state of the overall structure.

[0071] In an embodiment of the present invention, the detailed processing steps for the state data difference of the state evaluation unit 2072 are as follows:

[0072] Step 1: Based on the topology diagram and the physical characteristics of the support points, establish a finite element model using finite element software to calculate the stress, strain, and displacement of each element, or establish a PID control model. The PID control model adjusts the support points through proportional, integral, and derivative control, which is suitable for simple leveling tasks. Perform support point layout analysis, interaction force analysis, structural stiffness assessment, and stability analysis. Geometric layout analysis analyzes the spatial distribution of support points to ensure they are evenly distributed without overly concentrated support points. Check the distance and angle between support points to ensure they meet the requirements of the structural design. Perform the analysis using structural analysis software.

[0073] Structural stiffness assessment evaluates the contribution of support points to structural stiffness, ensuring that the structure does not deform excessively under stress. It also examines the connection methods of support points to ensure that the connections are secure and capable of transmitting forces and moments.

[0074] Analysis was performed using finite element method software;

[0075] Stability analysis uses the principle of static equilibrium to ensure that the support points can stably support the structure 100% without overturning or instability. The location and distribution of the support points are checked to ensure the stability of the structure under various working conditions.

[0076] Step 2: Set the optimization objective for leveling, such as minimizing the height difference and pressure difference of all support points, determine the constraints of the optimization objective, such as the maximum adjustment amount and maximum pressure that the support points can withstand, and design the leveling algorithm, such as using gradient descent, genetic algorithm, simulated annealing algorithm, etc. The algorithm needs to be able to handle multivariate optimization problems and take into account real-time requirements.

[0077] Step 3: Use the algorithm to calculate the specific adjustment amount for each support point that needs to be adjusted. The adjustment amount includes the height that the support point needs to rise or fall, pressure changes, etc. A preset difference threshold is used to determine whether there are differences in the state of the support points.

[0078] Step four: Convert the calculated adjustment amount into specific control commands to ensure that the commands can be correctly understood and executed by the automatic leveling structure 200;

[0079] After executing the adjustment command, continue to monitor the sensor data, perform closed-loop feedback, and fine-tune the control command according to the actual leveling effect until the preset leveling accuracy is achieved.

[0080] The detailed steps for calculating the relative position of element 2073 are as follows:

[0081] Step A: Using the support point relationship diagram of the topology graph, use analytical geometry to calculate the relative positions between support points, such as distance and angle.

[0082] Step B involves analyzing the spatial layout, interaction forces, and stability of the support points based on the calculated relative positions.

[0083] Step C: Match the analysis results with the preset control scheme in the control system 206.

[0084] In an embodiment of the present invention, when the topology mapping unit establishes the topology map, it is necessary to assign topological numbers to the support points. The detailed steps are as follows:

[0085] Step a: Number the support points of the automatic adjustment structure from 1 to n;

[0086] Step b: Select the numbering order according to the structure of the portal frame, such as from left to right, from inside to outside, etc., to ensure that the numbering order can clearly reflect the physical location of the support points;

[0087] Step c: Determine the numbering intervals based on the number and area of ​​the gantry frames, and set independent numbering intervals for gantry frames in different locations or areas;

[0088] Step d: Synchronize the numbering information to the control system 206 so that the control system 206 can control the corresponding hydraulic push rod 201 according to the number.

[0089] Example 2

[0090] See attached document Figure 5 As shown in the figure, another embodiment of the present invention provides a method for using an adjustable portal frame support system, which includes the following steps:

[0091] S1. Based on the structure and location of the portal frame, a support system is pre-installed at its installation location. The bottom end of the portal frame is inserted into the central sleeve 101, and the central sleeve 101 is supported by the diagonal support rod 102 and the horizontal support rod 103.

[0092] S2, Inclination sensor 2053, horizontal sensor 2052, displacement sensor 2051 and pressure sensor 2054 are pre-installed at various key points of the support system. The sensors monitor the horizontal state of the structure in real time and transmit the data to the control system 206.

[0093] S3, the control system 206 receives sensor data, performs routine preprocessing on the sensor data, generates a topology map using the topology map generation module 207, and adjusts the topology map based on the real-time transmitted data;

[0094] S4, the control system 206 formulates a leveling scheme based on the results of the topology analysis and the sensor data change trends. The detailed steps regarding the sensor data change trends are as follows:

[0095] Step S41: Based on the data monitored by the sensor feedback system 205, use charting tools to visualize the data, such as time series graphs, line graphs, and scatter plots, to facilitate data analysis and interpretation.

[0096] Step S42: Analyze the data trends of the sensor based on the charts and use the data to build a suitable model;

[0097] Step S43: Use the established model to predict the trend of data changes, compare the prediction results with the actual data to verify the accuracy of the prediction model, and adjust the model parameters or select a more suitable model based on the verification results.

[0098] S5, according to the leveling strategy of the control system 206, the hydraulic push rod 201 at the position to be leveled is raised and lowered for adjustment, and the sensor feedback system 205 is used for real-time monitoring until the data is consistent with the leveling scheme. Then the control system 206 stops sending control signals and the leveling work is completed.
