TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of node construction, and particularly relates to a BIM intelligent assembly system applied to node construction. BACKGROUND
[0002] In high-rise fabricated residential buildings and large public buildings, the nodes where beams, columns, shear walls and floors intersect are not only the key path for transmitting internal forces, but also the most densely intersected parts of multiple specialties such as mechanical and electrical pipelines, curtain wall embedded parts, fireproof plugging and the like. The traditional method usually provides two-dimensional node details by a design institute, precast embedded parts in a factory, and then workers complete the steel bar hole matching, sleeve positioning and grouting by relying on a tape measure, a level and a crowbar. Since the two-dimensional drawing cannot completely express the three-dimensional spatial relationship, the collision conflict is often discovered when the component is transported under the tower crane. The workers judge the steel bar gap by eyesight, and it is easy to cause common quality problems such as main reinforcement deviation, sleeve grouting leakage and grouting incompleteness. Once the error accumulates, the site can only adopt extensive measures such as flame cutting, steel plate repair welding or secondary pouring of concrete to remedy, which not only delays the construction period but also produces additional carbon emissions.
[0003] The existing technical system still has significant defects: on the one hand, the information fault between the two-dimensional drawing and the three-dimensional entity has not been fundamentally solved. The traditional two-dimensional node detail drawing can express single professional information, but cannot dynamically associate the spatial requirements of multiple specialties such as mechanical and electrical pipelines and curtain wall embedded parts, resulting in the frequent occurrence of the "space fighting" phenomenon when the prefabricated component is hoisted on site. On the other hand, the existing BIM technology application still stays at the "visualization display" level. There is a lack of standardized interface protocol between the model data and the intelligent manufacturing equipment, resulting in the common existence of the "model-entity" two-skin phenomenon. In addition, the existing quality control system has the dual problems of "data island" and "process black box". The quality detection data is scattered in the paper records, Excel tables and independent software systems of different participants, and lacks a unified data governance framework. Therefore, a BIM intelligent assembly system applied to node construction is proposed. SUMMARY

[0051] In the embodiment, specifically: the on-site data is uploaded to the cloud through the 5G network, and the end-to-end delay is less than or equal to 20 ms.
[0052] Working principle or structural principle: In the design stage, the structural engineer calls the "beam-column edge node parameterized family" on the BIM platform, inputs the key parameters such as beam height, column section, steel grade, etc., the system automatically runs the collision check and steel avoidance algorithm, generates the LOD400 model and locks all coordinates; the factory uses the LOD400 model to directly connect the steel bending hoop robot through API, completes the main reinforcement, hoop reinforcement cutting and bending, the sleeve automatic welding machine welds the sleeve according to the model coordinates, the 3D printing positioning mold is printed synchronously, ensures that the space error of the embedded part is within the allowable range, the system takes the BIM model as the core, generates the LOD400 level node family library through the parameterized design method, embeds the collision rules, steel avoidance algorithm and tolerance tolerance dynamic adjustment mechanism, the designer inputs the structural parameters through the interactive interface, the system automatically generates the node model meeting the specification requirements, and outputs the manufacturing instructions, this process realizes the standardization and automation of design data, avoids the errors and omissions caused by manual drawing, after receiving the manufacturing instructions, the factory end identifies the embedded part through the RFID identity tag system, and establishes the mapping relationship with the virtual components in the BIM model.The high-precision manufacturing equipment completes key processes such as steel bar bending, sleeve welding and embedded part positioning according to geometric data and process parameters in the BIM model, and real-time visual closed-loop feedback units and laser weld tracking units ensure the precision and quality of the manufacturing process, realizing the manufacturing goal of "design as obtained". Before the component is loaded onto the vehicle, the RFID identity tag is bound to the model GUID, and the temperature, humidity and vibration overrun data during transportation are automatically returned to the cloud. During the on-site hoisting process, the tower crane hovers the precast beam 50 cm above the node, and the on-site sensing kit captures the relative pose of the beam end steel bar and the column end sleeve in real time. The edge AI judges the assemblability within 100 ms and outputs Δx, Δy and Δθz, which are extended through the SMA lock pin, and the piezoelectric sliding table completes the fine adjustment, and the steel bar is successfully one-time aligned, and the worker only needs to do grouting and temporary support. The UWB+IMU+vision fusion sensing kit collects node pose data in real time, and a lightweight Transformer model is run through the edge computing box for real-time processing. The model captures the spatiotemporal correlation of the pose data through the self-attention mechanism, generates a high-precision pose adjustment strategy, and the self-locking and self-adjusting execution layer drives the piezoelectric micro-displacement sliding table and the shape memory alloy lock pin to complete the steel bar alignment, sleeve fine adjustment and temporary locking, etc. The whole pose adjustment process does not require manual intervention, realizing the automation and intelligentization of assembly. Finally, the grouting fullness sensor uploads data in real time, the system generates a "BIM-hash" block and writes it into the consortium chain, and through the digital twin synchronization engine, the on-site measured coordinates are written back to the cloud model. The system builds a quality file submodule through blockchain technology, stores the whole process data of the node from design to construction on the consortium chain in an unalterable form, the BIM-hash mechanism ensures the uniqueness and authenticity of the data, the intelligent contract function realizes the automatic execution of quality control, the digital twin synchronization engine automatically writes the on-site measured coordinates back to the cloud BIM model, realizes the dynamic synchronization of the design model and the physical building, and provides full life cycle data support for project quality control.
