Description
Technical Field

[0002] Concrete, as one of the most widely used materials in modern construction engineering, directly affects the durability and safety of structures through its construction quality. However, due to negligence in on-site management during construction, discontinuous construction results in excessively long intervals between pouring concrete mixtures in different areas of the structure. Furthermore, the interval between pouring new and old concrete exceeds the initial setting time of the old concrete, leading to weak bonding surfaces between the two, i.e., cold joints. Currently, construction workers prevent cold joint formation by controlling the pouring interval of the concrete mixture. However, the pouring location and timing during construction rely heavily on the subjective control of workers. Moreover, the initial setting time of concrete changes in real time with ambient temperature, making precise control of the pouring interval impossible, resulting in low efficiency and impacting construction quality and progress.

[0045] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the loading port of the mixing plant 1 is equipped with a first electronic fence 9, which monitors the loading time of the concrete mixture in real time by detecting the license plate information of the transport vehicle 2 and recording the timestamp. The unloading port of the pump truck 3 is equipped with a second electronic fence 10, which determines the pouring vehicle information by detecting the license plate information of the transport vehicle 2. The pump truck 3 is equipped with a robotic arm 5, and the top of the robotic arm 5 is equipped with an RTK positioning device 6, which is used to locate the center coordinates of the falling concrete mixture in real time. The end of the robotic arm 5 is connected to a hose 4, and the hose 4 is equipped with a temperature sensor 8 and a flow meter 7. The temperature sensor 8 calculates the initial setting time of the concrete by detecting the temperature of the concrete mixture entering the formwork, and the flow meter 7 calculates the pouring volume, pouring height, and pouring spread of the concrete mixture by detecting the pouring flow rate. The first electronic fence 9 and the second electronic fence 10 are connected to the first main control box 11 and the second main control box 12, respectively. The RTK positioning device 6, the temperature sensor 8, and the flow meter 7 are all connected to the third main control box 13. The first main control box 11, the second main control box 12, and the third main control box 13 are used to collect and store parameter information. Each of the first main control box 11, the second main control box 12, and the third main control box 13 is equipped with a 4G antenna 14. The 4G antenna 14 is used to transmit parameter information to the server to detect whether cold joints are generated in the concrete and to control the construction method.
[0047] The construction control method based on refined detection of cold joints in concrete of the present invention includes the following steps.
[0048] Step one: Throughout the entire concrete mixture pouring process, the license plate information of the transport vehicle 2 is recorded and the pouring vehicle information is determined using the first electronic fence 9 and the second electronic fence 10. This specifically includes the following steps:
[0049] At the loading port of mixing plant 1 and the unloading port of pump truck 3, a first electronic fence 9 and a second electronic fence 10 are installed respectively. When transport vehicle 2 passes through the first electronic fence 9, the license plate information is recorded. When transport vehicle 2 passes through the second electronic fence 10, the license plate information is recorded and matched with the data information of the first electronic fence 9 to determine the current pouring vehicle information.
[0050] Step two involves collecting the concrete's initial temperature upon placement using temperature sensor 8 and calculating the initial setting time. This includes the following steps:
[0051] A temperature sensor 8 is installed inside the hose 4 of the pump truck 3 to detect the temperature of the concrete mixture when it is poured into the formwork in real time. The initial setting time of the concrete is calculated by combining the relationship between the temperature of the concrete and the initial setting time.
[0052] T t =T20 ·e k(t-20) ;
[0053] Among them, T t T represents the initial setting time of concrete at a pouring temperature of t℃. 20 The initial setting time of concrete at a placement temperature of 20℃, such as... Figure 2 As shown in the figure, t is the concrete pouring temperature, and k is the temperature coefficient, obtained from the experiment. Figure 2 As shown, the result obtained by fitting the experimental results is k = -0.04314 ± 0.0033 in this embodiment.
[0054] Step 3: The RTK positioning device 6 is used to locate the center coordinates of the concrete mixture's fall. A flow meter is used to collect the concrete mixture's pouring flow rate and calculate the pouring volume. This data is then converted to obtain the pouring height and spread of the mixture after its fall. Combining the pouring point location, pouring volume, pouring height, and pouring spread, the spatial information for the concrete mixture's pouring is determined. Specifically, this includes the following steps:
[0055] When the pump truck 3 starts pouring, the RTK positioning device 6 installed above the robotic arm 5 positions the center coordinates (X,Y) of the concrete falling center. When the concrete mixture passes through the flow meter 7 in the hose 3, the pouring flow rate Q of the mixture is recorded, and the pouring volume V is calculated based on the pouring flow rate Q.
[0056]
[0057] Where Q(i) is the pouring flow rate detected by the flow meter in the i-th time, n is the total number of times the flow meter detects the flow, and f is the flow meter detection frequency.
[0058] Simulation experiments were conducted to simulate the drop of concrete of different volumes, collecting data on the pouring height and spread after the drop. Combining this data with the simulation data on pouring volume, pouring height, and spread, a relationship between pouring volume, pouring height, and spread was fitted, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the four coefficients A, B, C, and D are obtained respectively, and the pouring height and pouring spread of the concrete are calculated.
[0059] H=Aln(V)+B, D=Cln(V)+D;
[0060] Where H is the pouring height, V is the pouring volume, and A and B are pouring height coefficients; D is the pouring extension, V is the pouring volume, and C and D are pouring extension coefficients. In this embodiment, the fitted values are A = 0.15227 ± 0.0326, B = 0.23867 ± 0.07453, C = 2.8688 ± 0.47418, and D = 1.64207 ± 1.08388.
[0061] Furthermore, the concrete pouring frustum model is determined by combining the pouring volume, pouring height, and pouring spread, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the area of the concrete-cast truncated cone is the cold joint area to be inspected.
[0062] Step four involves real-time monitoring of the concrete mix pouring interval using the time recorded by the first electronic fence 9. Combining the initial setting time of the mix, the pouring interval, and spatial information, it is determined whether cold joints have formed in the concrete. This specifically includes the following steps:
[0063] The first electronic fence 9 records the time of the current concrete mix loading (referred to as the first loading). The concrete mix in pump truck 3 is now poured (referred to as the first pour). Transport vehicle 2 then transports concrete mix to pump truck 3 again to prepare for the second concrete mix pour. Starting from the loading time of the first loading, the concrete mix pouring interval ΔT is recorded in real time, i.e., the time interval between the second pour and the first loading, and it is detected whether the second pour will cause cold joints in the area to be detected.
[0064]
[0065] By acquiring spatial information, it is determined whether the concrete in the area to be tested for cold joints will produce cold joints. If no cold joints are produced, the area to be tested for cold joints can be poured a second time. If cold joints are produced, the concrete surface in the area to be tested for cold joints needs to be roughened, reinforced with steel bars, etc., before the second concrete pouring can be carried out.
[0066] The construction control system based on refined detection of cold joints in concrete as described in this invention includes:
[0067] The parameter acquisition module is used to collect parameters during concrete transportation and pouring. This includes: a first electronic fence 9 at the loading port of the mixing plant 1, which monitors the loading time of the concrete mixture in real time by detecting the license plate information of the transport vehicle 2 and recording the timestamp. A second electronic fence 10 at the unloading port of the pump truck 3, which determines the pouring vehicle information by detecting the license plate information of the transport vehicle 2. The pump truck 3 is equipped with a robotic arm 5, and an RTK positioning device 6 is installed on the top of the robotic arm 5. The RTK positioning device 6 is used to locate the center coordinates of the falling concrete mixture in real time. A flexible hose 4 is connected to the end of the robotic arm 5. A temperature sensor 8 and a flow meter 7 are installed inside the hose 4. The temperature sensor 8 calculates the initial setting time of the concrete by detecting the temperature of the concrete mixture upon entry into the formwork, and the flow meter 7 calculates the pouring volume, pouring height, and pouring spread of the concrete mixture by detecting the pouring flow rate. The first electronic fence 9 and the second electronic fence 10 are connected to the first main control box 11 and the second main control box 12, respectively. The RTK positioning device 6, the temperature sensor 8, and the flow meter 7 are all connected to the third main control box 13. The first main control box 11, the second main control box 12, and the third main control box 13 are used to collect and store parameter information. Each of the first main control box 11, the second main control box 12, and the third main control box 13 is equipped with a 4G antenna 14. The 4G antenna 14 is used to transmit parameter information to the spatiotemporal calculation module to detect whether cold joints are generated in the concrete and to control the construction method.
[0068] The spatiotemporal calculation module is used to calculate the initial setting time, drop center coordinates, pouring volume, pouring height, pouring spread and pouring interval of concrete for the same transport vehicle based on the collected parameter information, and to determine the cold joint detection area.
[0069] The cold joint detection and construction control module is used to compare the initial setting time and pouring interval of the concrete at the pouring location based on the initial setting time of the concrete from the same transport vehicle, the center coordinates of the fall, the pouring volume, the pouring height, the pouring spread, and the pouring interval. The pouring interval is the time interval between the second pour and the first loading. Based on the comparison results, it detects whether a cold joint is generated in the concrete. If a cold joint is generated, the cold joint detection area is treated before the second pour is carried out. Otherwise, the second pour can be carried out directly in the cold joint detection area.
[0070] The computer-readable storage medium of the present invention stores a computer program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the construction control method based on refined detection of cold joints in concrete.
[0071] The computer-readable storage medium may include RAM, ROM, EEPROM, CD-ROM or other optical disc storage devices, magnetic disk storage devices or other magnetic storage devices, flash memory or any other medium that can be used to store program code in the form of instructions or data structures and is accessible by a computer.
