Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of 3D printing, and in particular to an underwater steel bar and concrete composite printing device and method. Background Art
[0002] Underwater buildings are exposed to complex water flow, corrosion and scouring environments for a long time, which can easily lead to structural damage such as cracks and peeling, significantly reducing their mechanical properties and causing safety hazards. Traditional repair technologies mainly rely on the cofferdam drainage method and underwater operations by divers. The cofferdam drainage method requires the construction of a temporary cofferdam and the pumping of accumulated water to create a dry environment. It has a long construction period, high cost, and poor adaptability to large areas of water or deep water areas. Underwater repair by divers is limited by the low precision of manual operations, high operational risks, and it is difficult to achieve accurate repair of complex structures.
[0003] In recent years, concrete 3D printing technology has been introduced into the field of underwater repair due to its moldless molding, flexibility and high efficiency. For example: Chinese patent 202411243012.7 proposes to repair directly through an underwater concrete printing nozzle, but it relies on the positioning of the water surface rail, the accuracy is insufficient, and the interference of the underwater environment on the hardening and molding of concrete is not solved; Chinese patent 202310724608.8 designs a waterproof concrete nozzle. Although it avoids the drainage of the cofferdam, the concrete is still exposed to the water flow, which can easily lead to loose molding, insufficient strength, and lack of reinforcement, and the durability of the repaired structure is limited. In addition, although laser additive manufacturing technology can realize the printing of metal structures, the existing underwater repair technology focuses on a single material (concrete or steel bars) and lacks the ability of synchronous composite printing, resulting in limited improvement in the mechanical properties of the repair area. At the same time, factors such as water pressure and seepage in the underwater environment will directly interfere with the deposition and solidification of the printed material. The existing technology is difficult to completely isolate the influence of the water environment by adding protective agents or simple waterproofing designs, which restricts the quality and efficiency of repair. Summary of the invention

Directly repairing damaged buildings underwater can avoid the economic losses caused by rebuilding the buildings. Compared with traditional drainage repairs, it also has less impact on the surrounding environment, is less difficult to construct, and requires less manpower, material resources, and economic losses.

The second waterproof cover (506) is connected with the second drainage cover (502-504) and the laser printing head (5). The connecting piece (507) is configured at the end of the laser printing head (5) and cooperates with the connecting piece (304) at the end of the mechanical arm to realize the position adjustment of the underwater laser printing unit (5). The laser printing nozzle (5) can realize steel bar printing under underwater dry conditions.
7. An underwater steel bar and concrete composite printing method, characterized in that: Using the underwater steel bar and concrete composite printing device as described in any one of claims 1 to 6, the underwater concrete printing unit (4) and the underwater laser printing unit (5) alternately perform layered printing repair of the steel bar structure and the concrete structure on the damaged building structure underwater; after the accessory storage bin (1) is put into the water, it is adjusted to the repair area by using the gas propeller (102), and the device uses the guide rail moving system (2) and the mechanical arm (3) to adjust the underwater laser printing unit (5) to the corresponding damaged position to print the steel bar; after the steel bar printing is completed, the underwater concrete printing unit (4) is adjusted to the steel bar position by using the guide rail moving system (2) and the mechanical arm (3) to perform concrete printing repair; the underwater concrete printing unit (4) works closely following the underwater laser printing unit (5).
8. The underwater steel bar and concrete composite printing method according to claim 7 comprises the following steps: S1: After the accessory storage bin is put into the water, it is adjusted to the repair area by using a gas propeller; S2: the guide rail moving unit and the mechanical arm loaded on the accessory storage bin adjust the underwater laser printing unit and the underwater concrete printing unit to corresponding damaged positions; S3: The one-way valve inputs high-pressure gas into the gas circuit inside the drainage cover. After being evenly dispersed, the high-pressure gas is discharged from the bottom of the drainage cover to form an air curtain to create a dry area; S4: the underwater laser printing unit prints steel bars at a certain height at the damaged part. After the printing is completed, the underwater laser printing unit is adjusted to the next position for printing. The printing height is the same as above. After one layer of printing is completed, the laser printing unit is adjusted back to the initial position. S5: After the laser printing unit completes the steel bar printing at one position, the underwater concrete printing unit starts to work and is adjusted to the corresponding position to print concrete. The printing height of the concrete is slightly lower than the height of the printed steel bar. The underwater concrete printing unit works closely following the laser printing unit. S6: After completing one layer of printing, the underwater laser printing unit adjusts its position to the position of the steel bars printed in the previous layer, and continues to print the steel bars on the basis of the existing steel bars to increase the height of the steel bars. Subsequently, the underwater concrete printing unit works, and the height of the printed concrete is slightly lower than the height of the printed steel bars. S7: After completing one layer of printing, the underwater laser printing unit and the concrete printing unit return to the initial position, and then print the next layer according to the above steps, and repeat the cycle until the printing work is completed.
