[0064] The foundation data of the base plate to be constructed is measured by scanning the trolley and sent to the assembly platform. The upper layer of steel reinforcement components is laid on the assembly platform composed of geotextile and limiting grooves using the steel reinforcement operation trolley. The automatic sleeper dispersing device on the mobile operation trolley is used to lay sleepers at intervals on the assembly platform. The lower and upper steel reinforcement components adopt a mesh design, which consists of three sets of steel reinforcement mesh modules, namely upper steel reinforcement mesh, lower steel reinforcement mesh, and edge-sealing erected steel reinforcement mesh. The three sets of steel reinforcement mesh modules are assembled and tied by the steel reinforcement operation trolley. The assembled steel reinforcement components are hoisted to the working beam surface using the hoisting tool built into the steel reinforcement operation trolley.

[0065] The assembly process for the rebar assembly is as follows: Step 1: Construction preparation; Step 2: Positioning of the moving bracket; Step 3: Hoisting of the lower rebar mesh 10; Step 4: Hoisting of the edge-sealing rebar mesh 20; Step 5: Hoisting of the upper rebar mesh 9; Step 6: Rebar cage assembly; Step 7: Rebar assembly hoisting.

The slab track frame includes a main steel frame 2, which simulates the track to be laid. The main steel frame 2 is mounted on the double-block sleepers via steel pads. Four sets of support legs 1, fixed to the bridge deck, are installed on the outer side of the main steel frame 2. An adjustment assembly is provided between the support legs 1 and the main steel frame 2, including a longitudinal adjustment device 3 for adjusting the longitudinal position of the slab track frame and a lateral adjustment device 4 for adjusting the lateral position. Four sets of measuring components are installed on the slab track frame for fine-tuning the sleeper groove measurements. These four sets of measuring components are respectively located on the outer side of the second sleeper and the penultimate sleeper in the double-block ballastless track section.

[0074] N3: Installation of formwork for track bed slab pouring:

[0075] The upper casting template is installed on the outside of the upper steel reinforcement assembly by a template operation trolley. The upper casting template is the track bed slab casting template. Both the upper and lower casting templates are prefabricated templates 30 with magnetic connection.

[0078] Working principle: The construction method is divided into base plate construction and track bed slab construction. During the base plate construction, the beam surface scanning operation vehicle scans the beam surface data and transmits it to the layout operation vehicle. The detection data is used to determine the layout position, thereby determining the installation position of subsequent construction equipment, including the installation position of equipment such as formwork and steel reinforcement components. Then, the steel reinforcement operation trolley is used to assemble the lower layer steel reinforcement components. Through the design of the mesh modular steel reinforcement structure, the lower layer steel reinforcement components can be easily assembled and tied, thus forming a prefabricated integral lower layer steel reinforcement component. Then, the hoisting equipment is used to lift it as a whole to the edge position determined by the layout. After the hoisting is completed, the modular formwork is assembled into an integral prefabricated formwork 30 using the formwork operation trolley. The whole formwork is then lifted by the hoisting equipment. After precise adjustment of the position, concrete is poured and cured. Finally, the formwork is removed and geotextile is laid.

[0079] After the base plate is formed, the track bed slab is constructed on top of it. The foundation data of the base plate to be constructed is measured by scanning trolley. Based on the collected data, the upper steel reinforcement components are assembled, tied, and hoisted using a steel reinforcement operation trolley. The sleepers are laid at intervals using an automatic sleeper dispersing device on a mobile operation trolley. The pre-formed modular slab track frame is hoisted onto the sleepers using a track frame transfer trolley. The hoisting position is precisely adjusted using adjustment components, and the installation position is precisely measured using measuring components. The upper pouring formwork is installed on the outside of the upper steel reinforcement components using a template operation trolley, and concrete is poured, cured, and formed. Finally, the track frame and template are dismantled and transported to the next process, forming a continuous modular intelligent construction.

[0080] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
