Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention provides a rapid installation method, belongs to the technical field of building construction, and particularly relates to a rapid installation method for a steel structure in a building construction. Background Art
[0002] Steel structure is a structural form mainly made of steel materials. It uses steel as the main material and combines steel beams, steel columns, steel trusses and other components through various connection methods such as welding, riveting, bolting, etc. to form a building structure system that can withstand the corresponding load. It has many advantages such as high strength, light weight, fast construction speed, high degree of industrialization, strong plasticity, good seismic performance, and large spatial span. It is widely used in many fields such as high-rise buildings, large-span spatial structures, industrial plants, bridge projects, offshore platforms, etc. It is one of the indispensable and important structural forms in modern architecture and engineering.
[0003] The main connection methods of steel structures in building construction are welding, bolt connection and rivet connection. The simple steps of welding connection are: first position and fix the components to ensure the accuracy of the connection position; then select the appropriate welding method and welding rod according to the design requirements, such as manual arc welding, automatic welding or semi-automatic welding; then perform welding operations, pay attention to controlling the welding sequence and welding parameters to reduce welding deformation; finally, inspect and quality test the welds to ensure that the strength and quality of the welds meet the requirements. Although this welding connection method has high strength and good integrity, it requires high technical level of welding workers. Heat-affected zones are easily generated during welding, causing local brittleness of steel. Welding residual stress and residual deformation may also be generated, affecting the bearing capacity and performance of the structure. It is difficult to disassemble after welding, and maintenance and modification are relatively difficult. The steps of bolt connection are to prepare bolt holes on the components first, then pass the bolts through the holes and tighten the nuts to achieve connection. It is easy to install and removable, but requires high-precision bolt holes, and the cross-section of the components will be weakened at the connection. Auxiliary connectors may need to be added, which increases the complexity of materials and construction. The steps of rivet connection include preparing rivet holes on the components, inserting heated rivets into the holes, and then flattening the rivet heads with a rivet gun to achieve a tight connection. This method has reliable force transmission, good toughness and plasticity, but the process is complicated, labor-intensive and material-intensive. Summary of the invention

[0033] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the present invention provides a method for rapid installation of steel structures in building construction, and its innovation lies in the introduction of advanced technologies in multiple links. In the prefabrication stage, three-dimensional modeling and mechanical analysis are carried out based on the BIM model, and high-precision equipment such as CNC plasma cutting machines and five-axis CNC machine tools are used, and the installation positioning reference points are calibrated by laser to ensure the high precision and high quality of the components. Modular coding and detachable transport frames are used during transportation, equipped with rubber buffer layers and GPS positioning devices to ensure the safety and efficiency of transportation. The lifting operation plans the path through the BIM model, uses a tower crane with an angle sensor, and combines laser positioning technology to achieve precise alignment with an error control range of ±2mm. Friction-type high-strength bolts are used in the connection construction, and the intelligent torque-angle method control device is used to apply preload in stages to ensure the firmness of the connection. The installation process uses a three-dimensional laser scanner to collect data in real time, and automatically generates calibration instructions after comparison with the BIM model, driving the hydraulic fine-tuning device to make millimeter-level corrections to ensure installation accuracy. The protective treatment uses high-pressure airless spraying equipment to apply multiple layers of high-performance coatings to form comprehensive anti-corrosion and fire protection. During construction management, RFID chips are used to track component status in real time, dynamically optimize the construction sequence, and improve overall construction efficiency.
[0034] In this implementation scheme, during the prefabrication stage, the BIM model is connected to the CNC plasma cutting machine and the five-axis CNC machine tool to ensure high-precision processing of the components; the laser calibration installation positioning reference point is located on the surface of the component to provide precise positioning for subsequent installation. During transportation, the modularly coded components are placed on a detachable transport rack, and the rubber buffer layer is located between the transport rack and the components to reduce vibration; the GPS positioning device is installed on the transport rack to provide real-time feedback on the transportation position. During the hoisting operation, the BIM model is connected to the control system of the tower crane to generate the hoisting path planning; the angle sensor is installed on the tower crane to monitor the hoisting angle; the laser locator cooperates with the component reference point to achieve automatic alignment. During the connection construction, friction-type high-strength bolts are used for component connection, and the intelligent torque-angle method control device is installed at the bolt connection position to apply preload in stages. During the installation process, the three-dimensional laser scanner is compared and analyzed with the BIM model to generate calibration instructions; the hydraulic fine-tuning device is installed at the component connection to make millimeter-level corrections according to the instructions. During the protective treatment, the high-pressure airless spraying equipment contacts the surface of the component and applies multiple layers of high-performance coatings in sequence. During construction management, RFID chips are installed on components to track the installation status in real time; the total station is used to remeasure the overall three-dimensional coordinates after the standard layer construction and provide feedback to the next standard layer construction.
[0035] like Figure 5 , 6 As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the present invention provides a method for rapid installation of steel structures in building construction, which has the advantage of comprehensive optimization of the construction process. Starting from prefabrication, three-dimensional modeling and mechanical analysis based on the BIM model, combined with high-precision processing of CNC plasma cutting machines and five-axis CNC machine tools, and laser calibration of reference points, ensure the accuracy of the components. The transportation link adopts modular coding and detachable transport frames, equipped with buffer layers and GPS positioning to improve the safety and efficiency of transportation. During the lifting operation, the BIM model is used to plan the path, a tower crane with an angle sensor is used, and high-precision alignment is achieved through laser positioning. Friction-type high-strength bolts are used in the connection construction, and the preload force is applied in stages with the intelligent torque-angle method control device to ensure the connection quality. During the installation process, the three-dimensional laser scanner collects data in real time, automatically generates calibration instructions after comparison with the BIM model, and drives the hydraulic fine-tuning device to make millimeter-level corrections to ensure installation accuracy. The protective treatment uses high-pressure airless spraying equipment to apply multiple layers of high-performance coatings to form comprehensive anti-corrosion and fire protection. During construction management, RFID chips are used to track component status in real time, dynamically optimize the construction sequence, and improve overall construction efficiency.
[0036] In this implementation scheme, the processing accuracy and quality of prefabricated components are greatly improved through the coordinated work of BIM model and CNC equipment, as well as the precise positioning of laser calibration reference points, and the errors and adjustment time of on-site installation are reduced. Secondly, the use of modular coding and detachable transport frames, combined with rubber buffer layers and GPS positioning devices, ensures the safety and efficiency during transportation, and effectively prevents damage and loss of components during transportation. Furthermore, the intelligent hoisting positioning system achieves high-precision automatic alignment through BIM model path planning and laser positioning technology, and the error is controlled within the range of ±2mm, which significantly improves the hoisting efficiency and installation accuracy. In addition, the friction-type high-strength bolt connection is combined with an intelligent torque-angle control device to apply preload in stages, which ensures the firmness and reliability of the connection and enhances the overall stability of the structure. At the same time, the dynamic calibration system uses a three-dimensional laser scanner to collect data in real time and compare and analyze it with the BIM model, automatically generates calibration instructions to drive the hydraulic fine-tuning device for millimeter-level correction, ensures precision control during installation, and avoids the impact of cumulative errors on structural safety and usage functions. The composite protection treatment uses high-pressure airless spray equipment to apply multiple layers of high-performance coatings, forming a comprehensive anti-corrosion and fire protection, extending the service life of the steel structure and improving its durability and safety. Finally, in the construction management, the RFID chip is used to track the status of the components in real time, and the lifting sequence is dynamically optimized according to the construction progress, which improves the overall construction efficiency and reduces the construction period and cost. After each standard layer is completed, the total station is used to re-measure the overall three-dimensional coordinates, and feedback is given to the next standard layer construction, realizing circular construction control, further ensuring the orderliness and efficiency of the entire construction process.
