The prism 575 refers to a reflecting element for optical positioning, which can be implemented by a prism dedicated for total station, and its function is to cooperate with the total station system 6 to realize real-time monitoring of the position of the self-stabilizing print head 5.

[0039] Specifically, when the printing device is working, the total station system 6 continuously monitors the spatial coordinate data of the prism 575, and the console 9 generates compensation instructions according to the coordinate deviation. The push rod 572 adjusts the extension amount according to the instructions, and drives the movable platform 574 to produce displacement change, so that the print nozzle 59 always remains on the predetermined track. The movable platform 574 forms a hinged structure with the push rod 572 through the lower connecting seat 573, and realizes multidirectional displacement compensation in the horizontal plane. The prism 575 is rigidly connected with the movable platform 574, which ensures that the monitoring data and the actual position of the nozzle correspond synchronously.

[0040] Further, referring to Figure 7 , the yarn feeding device 58 includes a yarn guide tube 581, a movable feed tube 582, a yarn guide tube fixing seat 583, and a jack 584. The yarn guide tube fixing seat 583 is sleeved on the movable feed tube 582, the yarn guide tube 581 passes through the through holes of the yarn guide tube fixing seat 583 and the movable feed tube 582 in sequence, and the jack 584 fixes the yarn guide tube 581. The movable feed tube 582 is fixedly connected with the movable platform 574, the upper end of the movable feed tube 582 is connected with the fixed feed tube 53 through the rubber hose 56, and the lower end of the movable feed tube 582 is connected with the print nozzle 59 through screw connection.

[0041] In an embodiment, the yarn guide tube 581 refers to a tubular structure for guiding the fiber yarn into the printing nozzle 59, which can be made of stainless steel or engineering plastic, and its inner diameter can be adjusted according to the diameter of the fiber yarn. The movable feed tube 582 refers to a delivery pipe that can adjust its position with the movement of the self-stabilizing printing head 5, which can be a bellows or a segmented sleeve structure, allowing displacement in the vertical and horizontal directions. The yarn guide tube fixing seat 583 refers to a mounting component for restraining the position of the yarn guide tube 581, which can be a metal block with a through hole, connected to the outer wall of the movable feed tube 582 by bolts. The top screw 584 refers to a fastener for locking the axial position of the yarn guide tube 581, which can be an internal hexagonal screw, screwed into the threaded hole in the side wall of the yarn guide tube fixing seat 583 to compress the yarn guide tube 581.

[0042] Specifically, the movable feed tube 582 is fixed to the movable platform 574 of the stabilizing platform 57 through the lower connecting seat 573, and when the self-stabilizing printing head 5 is displaced due to the movement of the horizontal mechanical arm 3 and the vertical lifting arm 4, the movable platform 574 compensates for the positional deviation through the extension and retraction of the push rod 572, driving the movable feed tube 582 to move synchronously. The rubber hose 56 connects the fixed feed tube 53 and the movable feed tube 582, allowing bending deformation between the two to avoid stress concentration caused by rigid connection during concrete delivery. The yarn guide tube fixing seat 583 is provided with multiple positioning holes along the axis of the movable feed tube 582, which can be adjusted to match the delivery path of different fiber yarns by adjusting the penetration position of the yarn guide tube 581. The top screw 584 is screwed against the outer wall of the yarn guide tube 581 after rotation, preventing displacement of the fiber yarn during delivery due to vibration. The printing nozzle 59 is connected to the lower end of the movable feed tube 582 by threading, which facilitates disassembly, replacement, or cleaning of blockages.

[0043] Further, a use method of the high-rise building 3D printing device integrated on the building machine platform is also provided, which comprises the following steps: Adjusting the platform height of the building machine to the height of the under-construction floor of the high-rise building and fixing it; Generating a printing path plan according to the BIM model of the under-construction floor and initializing the high-rise building 3D printing device integrated on the platform of the building machine based on the platform height; Controlling the high-rise building 3D printing device integrated on the platform of the building machine to perform printing according to the printing path plan, and performing real-time monitoring and compensation until the printing of the under-construction floor is completed; When the printing of the under-construction floor is completed, adjusting the platform height of the building machine to the height of the under-construction floor of the high-rise building and fixing it, until the printing of all floors of the high-rise building is completed.

[0044] In an embodiment, adjusting the platform height refers to adjusting the platform height by driving the sleeve frame along the column by the hydraulic cylinder, and specifically, the hydraulic synchronous jacking system can be used in cooperation with the sleeve frame locking mechanism to achieve this operation, which ensures that the printing head and the construction layer maintain the vertical positioning reference. The printing path planning refers to decomposing the building components into continuous printing tracks based on the BIM model, and specifically, the numerical control programming software can be used to generate the mechanical arm motion track code, which avoids the interference between the printing path and the platform structure. Real-time monitoring and compensation processing refers to real-time acquisition of the spatial coordinates of the printing head by the total station system and comparison with the preset path, and specifically, the closed-loop control system can be used to dynamically adjust the mechanical arm motion parameters, which eliminates the printing errors caused by platform vibration or deformation.

[0045] Specifically, the method first lifts the building machine platform to the target construction layer height by the hydraulic drive system and locks the sleeve frame to ensure the stability of the platform. Then, the BIM model is imported into the control console to generate the mechanical arm motion track, and the mechanical arm and the printing head are initialized to the preset starting point. During the printing process, the total station continuously monitors the position of the printing head, and the control console dynamically adjusts the drive parameters of the horizontal mechanical arm and the lifting arm according to the deviation value to compensate for the deviation caused by platform displacement or mechanical vibration. After completing the printing of a single layer, the hydraulic system drives the platform to climb to the next construction layer, and the cycle is executed until the building is capped.

[0046] In actual application, when performing the printing process, the following steps are included: Step one: first, according to the building floor height of the high-rise building, adjust the height of the building machine platform, so that the position relationship between the building floor of the high-rise building and the building machine platform remains fixed.

[0047] Step two: import the BIM model of the building floor into the control system of the printing device, and plan the printing path for the floor and wall structure respectively.

[0048] Step three: assemble all components of the printing device, including structure fixation, cable arrangement and pump pipe connection, and complete the printing preparation work.

[0049] Step four: since the floor printing precision requirement is low, the horizontal mechanical arm can be directly controlled to move, first adjust the vertical lifting arm to the appropriate position (the printing nozzle is a certain distance away from the floor), then according to the floor printing path code instruction, the first level drive device drives the first arm to rotate, the second level drive device drives the second arm to rotate around the end of the first arm, and the horizontal mechanical arm can basically realize full coverage of the floor operation area, completing the floor printing construction.

[0050] Step five: after the concrete of the floor slab is cured, the printing construction of the wall structure is started. Since the printing precision of the wall structure is high, the horizontal mechanical arm, the vertical lifting arm and the self-stabilizing printing head need to move coordinately. According to the printing path code instruction of the wall structure, the spatial accessibility of the printing head can be realized through the movement of the horizontal mechanical arm and the vertical lifting arm. Since the combination mechanism of the horizontal mechanical arm and the vertical lifting arm cannot achieve millimeter movement precision, a total station system is placed on the floor slab when the printing head moves. The total station obtains the real-time accurate position of the printing nozzle by irradiating the prism arranged on the printing head, and transmits the position to the control system in real time. In the control system, the deviation between the real-time position and the set position in the program is analyzed, and the push rod device is driven to perform real-time dynamic compensation on the position of the printing nozzle, so as to ensure that the printing nozzle moves in space according to the program instruction and ensure the printing construction quality of the wall structure.

[0051] Step six: after all the walls are printed, the next floor slab is supported, the steel bars are tied, and the pipelines are laid, etc. Step seven: repeat step one, and lift the building machine platform upward once, the lifting height is consistent with the floor height of the high-rise building, and steps two to six are continued until the printing construction of the high-rise building is completed.

[0052] In summary, the above embodiment provides a high-rise building 3D printing device and method integrated in a building machine platform. The device includes a building machine platform, a horizontal mechanical arm, a vertical lifting arm, a self-stabilizing printing head and other components. The position of the printing head is monitored in real time by a total station system, and the influence of platform vibration on printing precision is effectively eliminated in combination with the modular mechanical arm structure. At the same time, through spatial optimization layout, interference with other processes on the construction operation layer is avoided, which has the advantages of improving printing precision, reducing space occupation of the construction operation layer, and enhancing the stability of the printing process.

[0053] The above provides a high-rise building 3D printing device and method integrated in a building machine platform. The principle and implementation of the application are described by applying specific examples. The above embodiment is only used to help understand the method and its core idea; at the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the idea of the application, the specific implementation and application range will be changed; in summary, the content of the specification should not be understood as a limitation of the application. Moreover, for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the principle of the application, some improvements and refinements can be made, which are also considered as the protection scope of the application.
