[0065] The intelligent control module is connected with the booster pump and the monitoring sensor signal of each sub-area control branch respectively;

[0066] The remote response module is connected with the intelligent control module through a wireless communication protocol, and is used to receive a remote instruction and forward the remote instruction to the intelligent control module.

[0067] The dynamic adaptation module comprises a spraying assembly mounting frame fixed on the cantilever casting construction equipment, and a pipeline connection assembly arranged at a joint of the water supply main pipe and the sub-area control branch, and is used to realize pipeline separation type dynamic connection.

[0068] The parameter setting module is connected with the intelligent control module and the area spraying module respectively, and is used to set a spraying time length, a water pressure parameter and an area start-stop sequence according to a concrete curing stage feature.

[0069] The area adaptation module is connected with the dynamic adaptation module and the area spraying module, and is used to synchronously adjust a spatial positioning of the spraying assembly according to a displacement state of the cantilever casting construction equipment, and control the pipeline connection assembly to perform a jointing or separating action.

[0070] The cantilever casting construction equipment refers to a hanging basket system for cantilever casting of a bridge, and comprises load-bearing structures such as a main beam, a bottom longitudinal beam and an inner cross beam. The hanging basket is a mobile support platform for cantilever casting, and bears a formwork and a concrete load.

[0071] In implementation, specific implementation forms of the water supply execution module and the area spraying module are not limited. The water supply execution module can complete the functions of taking water from a water source and pressurized delivery to a water supply network. The area spraying module can realize differential curing coverage of a top surface of a box girder, a flange plate and an inner cavity of a box chamber. The specific structures of the intelligent control module, the parameter setting module and the area adaptation module are not limited. The intelligent control module, the parameter setting module and the area adaptation module can be composed of logic components, and the logic components include a field programmable processor, a computer and a microprocessor in the computer.

[0072] The water supply execution module relies on pressure stabilization design of the high-level water tank and the booster system, and combines with a physical protection mechanism of the in-rail piping, so as to not only guarantee continuous and reliable water supply, but also significantly reduce the pipeline damage probability, and lay a foundation for long-term stable operation of the system. The area spraying module is innovative in three-dimensional space adaptation capability. A linear coverage network formed by the top surface area longitudinal rigid pipeline completely eliminates a curing blind area in the middle of the top plate. The multi-angle adjustable nozzle in the inner box area breaks through the curing barrier of a closed space. The combination of the flange plate rotary nozzle and the flexible pipeline solves the coverage problem of the overhanging structure bottom side. The flow channel optimization design of the three-way joint further ensures dynamic balance of water pressure of each branch, so that the concrete surface obtains uniform wet curing.

[0073] Please refer to Figures 2-3 as shown, Figure 2Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a side view of a pipeline arrangement according to an embodiment of the present application; Figure 3 Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a plan view of a pipeline arrangement according to an embodiment of the present application; the region spray module is in:

[0074] The branch of the top surface maintenance area of the box girder comprises a rigid pipeline arranged along the main girder of the hanging basket, and a plurality of double nozzle structures are arranged at intervals in the rigid pipeline;

[0075] The branch of the inner chamber maintenance area comprises a transverse pipeline array arranged along the inner transverse beam of the hanging basket, and the transverse pipeline array is provided with an angle-adjustable double nozzle structure;

[0076] The branch of the flange plate maintenance area comprises a fan-shaped nozzle connected by a flexible pipeline, and the fan-shaped nozzle is installed on the bottom longitudinal beam of the hanging basket and has a rotating structure;

[0077] The junction of each branch and the water supply main pipe is communicated through a tee joint.

[0078] In the implementation, the branch of the top surface maintenance area is arranged with a rigid pipeline along the main girder of the hanging basket, and a double nozzle structure with equal intervals is used. The nozzle spacing is determined based on the concrete surface humidity uniformity test: the test beam section is divided into grid areas, the humidity distribution differences of each grid under different spacing schemes are compared, and the scheme with the smallest humidity difference is selected as the standard configuration. The double nozzle adopts a fixed angle cross-jet design to form a water curtain covering the full width of the top plate. The purpose of the setting is to solve the problem of insufficient water coverage in the middle of the top plate in traditional maintenance, and the principle is to realize maintenance without dead angle through longitudinal linear distribution, which ensures uniform hardening of the top plate concrete and avoids dry shrinkage cracks. The pipeline is connected with the main girder of the hanging basket through mechanical fasteners to ensure the stability of the position under construction vibration.

[0079] The inner box maintenance area is arranged with a transverse pipeline array on the inner transverse beam of the hanging basket, and is provided with an angle-adjustable double nozzle structure. The nozzle adjustment range is determined through a box chamber scale model test: the water mist diffusion range under different angles is tested in the simulated cavity, and the best angle interval that can cover the top plate and the inside of the web is selected. In the implementation, the nozzle angle is locked by a manual knob to adapt to the complex spatial form of the box chamber. The purpose of the setting is to overcome the defect of poor accessibility of artificial maintenance in enclosed space, and the principle is to realize multi-directional accurate spraying by using adjustable nozzles, which ensures that the maintenance quality of the inner surface of the box chamber meets the durability requirements.

[0080] The flange plate area is connected with the fan-shaped nozzle through a flexible pipeline, and the nozzle bottom is integrated with a rotating driving structure. The rotating angle is selected based on wind tunnel simulation test: the water mist coverage effect of the nozzle in static and rotating state is tested under different wind speed environment, and it is confirmed that periodic rotation can significantly improve the coverage rate of the bottom side of the flange plate. The setting purpose is to solve the industry problem of insufficient maintenance of the bottom surface of the cantilever structure, and its principle is to combine the flexible pipeline to adapt to the deformation of the hanging basket, and cooperate with the rotating spray to cover the curved surface structure, which can eliminate the maintenance blind area of the flange plate edge. The nozzle is fixed to the hanging basket bottom longitudinal beam through a quick-release clamp, which is convenient for maintenance and replacement.

[0081] The branch pipe and the water supply main pipe joint adopts a three-way joint with a built-in flow guide structure. The flow guide design is optimized through fluid dynamics simulation: the pressure loss characteristics of different internal structures are compared, and the scheme with smooth water flow transition is selected. The setting purpose is to maintain the water pressure balance of each branch, and the principle is to reduce the disturbance of water distribution by optimizing the flow channel, and the effect is to ensure the stability of the coordinated operation of the partitioned spraying system.

[0082] Firstly, the concrete surface humidity uniformity test under standard curing conditions is used to select the nozzle spacing by taking the minimum surface humidity difference as the criterion; secondly, the spatial coverage test is carried out on the reduced scale box model, and the nozzle angle is gradually adjusted until the water mist uncovered area is eliminated; then the rotating angle is gradually increased in the wind tunnel environment to ensure that the water mist can still fully adhere under strong wind conditions; finally, CFD calculation is used to compare multiple flow guide configurations, and the optimal scheme with the most gentle pressure transition is selected.

[0083] Specifically, in the water supply execution module:

[0084] The integrated water tank is a steel plate welded structure, which is fixedly arranged at the center position of the top surface of the bridge zero block;

[0085] The water inlet of the booster pump is in communication with the water outlet of the integrated water tank, and the water outlet of the booster pump is connected with the water supply main pipe;

[0086] The water supply main pipe is arranged along the inner side of the bridge guardrail, and the pipe material is polyethylene cold water pipe;

[0087] The water supply main pipe is provided with a flow monitor at the branch pipe joint;

[0088] The power input end of the booster pump is electrically connected with the intelligent control module.

[0089] In implementation, the integrated water tank is formed by welding steel plates and is fixedly arranged at the center of the top surface of the bridge zero block. The volume of the water tank is determined according to the maximum segment maintenance requirement, and the center positioning is based on the principle of counterweight balance: the anchoring characteristics of the zero block are used to offset the unbalanced moment in the cantilever construction. The setting purpose is to store maintenance water in a concentrated manner to avoid frequent water replenishment interference with the construction; the principle is to form a natural pressure difference auxiliary booster system through the high-level water tank; and the effect is to ensure continuous and stable water supply and reduce the risk of high-altitude water transportation operation. The volume is calibrated through a typical segment water consumption test, and the maximum value is taken with a safety margin.

[0090] The water inlet of the booster pump is sealingly connected with the water outlet of the water tank, and the water outlet is connected with the water supply main pipe. The pump body is selected according to the resistance characteristics of the pipeline system, and a damping structure is arranged at the connection. The setting purpose is to establish a constant pressure water source, the principle is to maintain stable water pressure through mechanical sealing design, and the effect is to eliminate uneven spraying caused by pressure fluctuation. The threshold of lift is determined by hydraulic model calculation, considering the along-path resistance and safety factor.

[0091] The water supply main pipe is made of polyethylene pipe material and is laid along the inside of the embedded steel of the bridge guardrail. The pipe material is selected according to the pressure bearing requirement, and the laying path is avoided to pass through the construction passage. The setting purpose is to prevent external damage, the principle is to use the steel structure to form physical protection, and the effect is to ensure long-term reliable operation of the pipeline. The wall thickness is selected by referring to the pressure pipe grade test to meet the safety redundancy of blasting strength.

[0092] The flow monitor is arranged downstream of the branch joint and uses turbine sensing technology to monitor real-time flow. The data signal is transmitted to the intelligent control module. The setting purpose is to identify abnormal working conditions of the branch, the principle is to locate faults through flow mutation characteristics, and the effect is to realize accurate operation and maintenance response. The flow threshold is determined based on statistical analysis of normal working condition data, and the mean floating range is used as the reference.

[0093] The power supply of the booster pump is connected to the intelligent control module through a protection circuit, and the cable is laid by using a protective bridge. The setting purpose is to ensure electrical safety, the principle is that the hierarchical protection mechanism responds to current abnormalities, and the effect is to prevent equipment damage and prolong the service life. The overload threshold is set according to the motor characteristic curve, and is related to the rated working condition parameters.

[0094] Specifically, the intelligent control module determines whether to adjust the spraying parameters according to the flow monitoring data, including:

[0095] If the flow monitoring data is within a preset flow threshold range, the intelligent control module determines to maintain the current spraying parameters;

[0096] If the flow monitoring data exceeds the preset flow threshold range, the intelligent control module determines that the spraying parameters need to be adjusted, and reduces the output power of the booster pump;

[0097] The flow monitoring data is acquired in real time by a flow monitor of each partition control branch joint.

[0098] Specifically, the intelligent control module determines a power adjustment amount of the booster pump according to the flow monitoring data in combination with a current water pressure parameter.

[0099] The intelligent control module determines an on-off state adjustment of a specific branch according to the flow monitoring data in combination with a partition branch identifier.

[0100] In implementation, the boundary is determined by using a mathematical statistics method through long-term monitoring of flow fluctuation rules under normal working conditions. For example, flow values are recorded in continuous multiple standard spraying operations, after extreme deviation data is removed, a certain proportion of the mean value of the remaining data is taken as a threshold range, if the data is within the threshold, the current parameters are maintained, if it is beyond, the power of the booster pump is reduced. The purpose of the setting is to respond to pipeline abnormalities in a timely manner, and the principle is that flow mutation reflects blockage / leakage failure; on the effect, it prevents system overload operation.

[0101] When the flow is abnormal, the power adjustment amount is calculated in combination with the real-time water pressure parameter, the correlation model of water pressure-flow-power is established, and the coefficient is calibrated through fault simulation test. According to historical data, the corresponding relationship between flow attenuation rate and power under different water pressures is determined, and is fitted into an adjustment amount calculation formula. When the water pressure is too high, the power is reduced slightly to maintain water supply; when the water pressure is too low, the power is greatly reduced and the secondary branch is closed. The purpose of the setting is to optimize resource allocation under fault conditions, and the principle is to dynamically match the supply capacity and demand of the system; on the effect, the continuity of key area maintenance is maintained.

[0102] According to the flow data and the branch identifier, the control is executed, the importance of the branch is determined through the concrete curing effect comparison test, in the embodiment, different branches are closed in the test bridge section, the concrete strength development curve of the corresponding area is detected, and the area with a strength drop exceeding a critical value is listed as a high priority. When the key branch is abnormal, only the power is reduced without being closed; when the secondary branch is abnormal, it is closed and the adjacent area compensation is improved. The purpose of the setting is to minimize the impact of failure, and the principle is a differentiated protection strategy; on the effect, the maintenance quality of the core area of the structure is ensured.

[0103] In the present application, the intelligent control module establishes a dual protection mechanism of fault early warning and dynamic control. The threshold determination based on the flow fluctuation model can quickly identify pipeline blockage or leakage, the coupling adjustment of power and water pressure parameters realizes accurate energy distribution under abnormal working conditions, and the branch priority strategy responds according to the importance of the structure, the three cooperate to ensure the resilient operation of the maintenance system. The dynamic adaptation module absorbs the construction vibration energy through the elastic fixing piece, the millisecond level quick connector eliminates the risk of pipeline winding when the hanging basket moves, and the modular extension segment design realizes seamless cooperation of the pipeline system and the construction progress, so that the spraying assembly always maintains high positioning accuracy.

[0104] Specifically, the dynamic adaptation module comprises:

[0105] The spraying assembly mounting frame is connected with the hanging basket main beam, bottom longitudinal beam and inner transverse beam through steel wire fixing members;

[0106] The pipeline connection assembly comprises a quick dismounting joint and a main pipe extension section;

[0107] The quick dismounting joint is arranged at the joint of the water supply main pipe and the sub-control branch;

[0108] The main pipe extension section is connected with the end of the water supply main pipe before displacement of the hanging basket.

[0109] Specifically, the parameter setting module determines the spraying mode according to the concrete state characteristics and environmental characteristics;

[0110] If the concrete state characteristics meet the preset intensified maintenance condition, the spraying mode is a high-intensity spraying mode;

[0111] If the concrete state characteristics do not meet the preset intensified maintenance condition, the spraying mode is a reference spraying mode;

[0112] The preset intensified maintenance condition is that the concrete age is less than a preset age threshold value or the concrete surface temperature is greater than a preset temperature threshold value.

[0113] In implementation, the preset age threshold value is determined, the early strength development law of test blocks of different ages is tested in a standard maintenance environment through a concrete anti-cracking performance comparison test, and a critical time point at which the strength growth changes from rapid to gentle is selected as a threshold reference. When the age is less than the critical value, it is determined that the hydration reaction is active, and the high-intensity spraying mode needs to be started.

[0114] The preset temperature threshold value is determined, the surface humidity decay trend under different temperature conditions is observed in a simulated environment cabin based on a concrete moisture evaporation characteristic test, and a starting temperature point at which humidity accelerates to decline is selected as a threshold. When the surface temperature exceeds the critical point, it is determined that the evaporation risk significantly increases, and the high-intensity mode needs to be switched.

[0115] The purpose of the setting is to accurately match the concrete material characteristics, and the principle is to grasp the key window period of early strength formation and high-temperature water loss; the effect is to prevent plastic shrinkage cracks and ensure strength development.

[0116] The high-intensity spraying mode is to shorten the spraying interval period, prolong the single spraying duration, and moderately increase the end water pressure strength. The implementation is based on a concrete temperature and humidity coupling test: sensors are embedded in the test block to calibrate the spraying frequency and water pressure combination with the highest moisture retention efficiency.

[0117] The benchmark spraying mode is operated according to a regular cycle to maintain standard water pressure parameters. The frequency setting is based on a maturity theory model, and the temperature aging is equivalent to the constant temperature curing requirement.

[0118] The setting purpose is to dynamically optimize resource allocation, and the principle is to adjust the curing intensity according to the actual state of the material; and the effect is to avoid performance defects caused by insufficient curing or excessive moisture.

[0119] In the application, the advancement of the parameter setting module is embodied as a deep response to the properties of the concrete material. By tracking the active period of the cement hydration reaction, the spraying is automatically intensified during the strength jump period to inhibit early plastic cracks; in combination with the identification of the critical state of water evaporation, the moisture retention frequency is dynamically increased in a high-temperature environment to block the development of drying shrinkage cracks. The regional adaptation module relies on accurate perception of the hydraulic state to make the pipeline connection and the displacement of the hanging basket beat synchronous, and the laser positioning real-time correction technology further compensates for the spraying deviation caused by construction deformation, thereby ensuring the coverage integrity of complex curved surface regions.

[0120] Specifically, in the regional adaptation module:

[0121] The displacement state includes a hanging basket forward movement state and a hanging basket in-place state;

[0122] In the hanging basket forward movement state, the pipeline connection assembly is controlled to perform a separation action to disconnect the partition control branch from the water supply main pipe;

[0123] In the hanging basket in-place state, the pipeline connection assembly is controlled to perform a joint action to connect the main pipe extension section with the next section water supply main pipe;

[0124] The spatial positioning adjustment includes correcting the spraying direction of the double-spraying head structure through an angle adjustment mechanism.

[0125] In implementation, when the hydraulic cylinder thrust continuously exceeds the normal working threshold, it is determined that the hanging basket is in a moving condition. The threshold is calibrated through hanging basket empty-load and full-load movement tests, the pressure curve of the hydraulic system under different loads is recorded, and the critical point of pressure sudden increase is selected as the determination reference.

[0126] The in-place state determination principle is that when the hydraulic pressure is stable within the set fluctuation range, and the displacement sensor feedback change approaches zero, it is determined to be in the in-place state.

[0127] The forward movement state action is to trigger a quick disassembly joint separation instruction to automatically disconnect the partition branch from the main pipe. The separation action response time is optimized through human-machine cooperation tests: the influence of different response delays on the safety of the pipeline is tested, and the maximum allowable delay without pipeline pulling risk is selected.

[0128] The in-place state action controls the hydraulic locking of the extension section and the next section of the main pipe. The sealing performance is verified by a pressure decay test: the leakage rate is detected at the rated pressure, and optimized to within the industry-allowed upper limit.

[0129] The spatial positioning adjustment corrects the angle of the double spray heads through a worm gear mechanism. After positioning, the laser positioning instrument detects the distance between the spray head and the concrete surface. If the deviation exceeds the limit, the correction is triggered.

[0130] The angle compensation principle is to establish a geometric mapping model of the spray head installation coordinates and the beam profile, and to generate a correction amount through vector calculation. The typical position deviation caused by the form traveler deformation is measured in the test section. The water mist coverage blank area is compared under different deviations, and the maximum deviation when the blank area is less than the allowable value is selected as the threshold.

[0131] In the present application, the zoned spraying assembly is deeply integrated with the bridge form, breaking through the maintenance bottleneck of special-shaped structures. Multi-source data fusion is used to build a digital mirror of the maintenance state. The dynamic optimal strategy is generated by driving the material characteristics and the construction process. The spatial precise positioning is achieved by coupling the mechanical and control systems. The maintenance mode is shifted from passive remediation to active protection, and the resource consumption is upgraded to fine management and control.

[0132] Please refer to Figure 4 The present application also provides a control method for a road and bridge spraying maintenance system, which comprises:

[0133] Step S1, collect and acquire the flow monitoring data of each zoned control branch, and continuously acquire the displacement state signal of the cantilever casting construction equipment;

[0134] Step S2, determine the spraying control parameters according to the flow monitoring data combined with the characteristics of the concrete maintenance stage, and determine the pipe connection action instruction according to the displacement state signal;

[0135] Step S3, use the spraying control parameters to control the spraying assembly of the regional spraying module to execute the zoned spraying action;

[0136] Step S4, control the dynamic adaptation module to execute the pipe separation or connection operation according to the pipe connection action instruction;

[0137] Step S5, use the flow monitoring data during the spraying process to determine the parameter adjustment instruction, and adjust the output power of the booster pump and the on-off state of the zoned branch according to the parameter adjustment instruction.
