Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of building information modeling and computer science technology, specifically relating to a system and method for associating cloud data with virtual three-dimensional engineering scenes. Background Technology

[0002] Traditionally, engineering project management relies on manual inspection and record-keeping, leading to inefficiency and information delays. Building Information Modeling (BIM) provides 3D digital models, improving visualization and collaborative capabilities, but it is primarily based on static data and lacks real-time monitoring. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) offer rich spatial analysis capabilities, but their integration with BIM is still immature. Internet of Things (IoT) technology allows for real-time data collection from the site, but how to correlate this data with virtual 3D engineering scenes remains a challenge. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to develop a cloud-based data association system and its implementation method that combines Building Information Modeling (BIM), Geographic Information System (GIS) and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to enable dynamic monitoring and intelligent management in engineering projects.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is: a system for associating cloud data with a virtual three-dimensional engineering scene, characterized in that it includes:

[0005] The Virtual BIM 3D Engineering Scene Creation Module is used to create virtual BIM 3D engineering scenes based on design data and project site requirements.

[0006] The GIS data graphics engine module is used to publish virtual BIM 3D engineering scenes on a graphics engine with GIS data.

[0007] The network-connected devices and data acquisition modules are used to install network-connected devices on target objects at the project site to detect and acquire real-time data and status on site;

[0008] The data processing and feedback module is used to receive data from the target object's networked device at the remote control terminal, update the cloud data, and provide real-time feedback to the virtual 3D engineering scene.

[0009] The management terminal is used by managers to directly assign personnel to the site to take corresponding preventive measures and response strategies based on the data and specific locations received in the virtual 3D engineering scene.

[0010] Preferably, the virtual BIM 3D engineering scene creation module includes:

[0011] The design data input section is used to input project-related design data, including architectural design drawings, structural design documents, and mechanical and electrical design specifications.

[0012] The project site requirements input section is used to input requirements information related to the project site conditions, including geographical location, environmental conditions, and construction requirements;

[0014] The virtual BIM 3D engineering scene creation module generates high-precision virtual BIM 3D engineering scenes based on the project's design data and site requirements. It can display detailed information such as building structures, equipment installation locations, and construction progress. The model supports dynamic updates, ensuring that design changes and construction progress are reflected in the virtual scene in real time, thereby improving the visualization and management efficiency of the project.

[0025] After receiving data transmitted from networked devices, the data processing and feedback module cleans, stores, and analyzes the data. This module not only updates the analysis results to the cloud database but also uses advanced algorithms to provide early warnings of anomalies. The analysis results are fed back to the virtual BIM 3D engineering scene in real time, enabling managers to intuitively view and analyze the site conditions and make timely response decisions.

[0026] The management terminal includes:

[0027] The data display section is used to intuitively display real-time data and the location of target objects in the virtual BIM 3D engineering scene, so that managers can view the status and data of each target object through a graphical interface;

The management terminal provides intuitive data display and instruction generation functions.

[0029] Through this terminal, managers can view real-time data and analysis results in the virtual BIM 3D engineering scene, thereby generating construction instructions, adjusting construction plans, and scheduling resources more efficiently. The application of the management terminal ensures the efficiency and accuracy of on-site management.

[0034] Step 4) The remote control terminal receives data transmitted from the network-connected device, updates the cloud data, and feeds it back to the virtual 3D engineering scene in real time to ensure that the information in the virtual scene is synchronized with the on-site situation;

[0035] Step 5) Based on the data and specific location received in the virtual 3D engineering scene, the management personnel directly assign personnel to the site to take corresponding preventive measures and response strategies. Through the instructions generated by the system, the personnel are assigned to carry out on-site operations.
