Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of modular component technology, and in particular to a correction device for the connecting ribs of MIC module units. Background Technology

[0002] Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) is an industrialized construction technology that breaks down a building into standardized prefabricated modular units in a factory, which are then rapidly assembled on-site to form a complete building. According to the technical requirements of some manufacturers, several U-shaped or C-shaped connecting ribs (as shown in the attached diagram) protrude outwards from the connecting side of one of two adjacent modular units. Figure 1 As shown), several hook-shaped parts are provided on the connecting side of the other module unit. The hook-shaped parts are connected to the connecting ribs to improve the connection strength between the two module units. Then, the two module units are combined to form an integral building by welding and other processes on the periphery of the two module units.

[0003] However, in actual manufacturing, the outward convex dimension of each connecting rib is difficult to standardize. This means that the distance between the outer edge of each connecting rib and the connecting side of the module unit varies significantly, affecting the fit between the connecting sides of the two module units after assembly. For these reasons, there is an urgent need for a method to correct the deviation of the connecting ribs in the module units, ensuring that the outward convex dimension of each connecting rib is basically uniform.

[0004] It should be noted that the above content is only used to help understand the technical solution of the present invention, and does not represent an admission that the above content is prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a correction device for the connecting ribs of MIC module units, which aims to perform correction operations on the connecting ribs of module units to ensure that the convex dimensions of each connecting rib are basically uniform.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a correction device for the connecting rib of a MIC module unit, which is used to adjust the outward convex dimension of the connecting rib of the U-shaped structure. The connecting rib includes an outer edge and two side edges respectively connected to opposite ends of the outer edge. The other end of the side edges is fixedly connected to the module unit.

[0007] Specifically, the correction device includes: The correction body includes two correction structures that are intersecting each other and hinged together at the middle to form an X-shaped structure. A first end of each correction structure is defined as a correction part, and a second end is defined as a driving part. The correction parts of the two correction structures are disposed on the inner side of the connecting rib in an U-shape, and each correction part abuts against the two side edges of the connecting rib. When the driving parts of the two correction structures move away from each other, the two correction parts move away from each other accordingly, thereby causing the two side edges of the connecting rib to move away from each other, thus reducing the distance between the outer edge of the connecting rib and the module unit.

[0008] In one embodiment, the correction part is rotatably connected to a connecting structure, which is used to maintain continuous connection with the side edge when the two correction parts move away from each other.

[0009] In one embodiment, the connecting structure includes a rotating block, which is rotatably connected to the correction part via a rotating shaft; a connecting block is provided on the side of the rotating block facing the side edge, and the connecting block is used to connect with the side edge.

[0010] In one embodiment, the connecting block is slidably connected to the rotating block; specifically, the rotating block is provided with a slide rail, wherein the cross-section of the slide rail is a dovetail groove structure, the connecting block is fitted into the dovetail groove structure of the slide rail, and the connecting block is slidably disposed on the slide rail.

[0011] In one embodiment, the guide rail is provided with a limiting part at its guide rail end, and the limiting part abuts against the connecting block.

[0012] In one embodiment, the connecting block has a recessed groove on one side facing the side edge, the groove being used to engage with at least a portion of the side edge.

[0013] In one embodiment, the correction portions of the two correction structures are interconnected by an elastic element, which applies an elastic force to bring the two correction portions closer together.

[0014] In one embodiment, the correction device includes a drive body positioned between the two drive units and moving toward the center of the X-shaped structure of the correction body to drive the two drive units to move away from each other.

[0015] In one embodiment, a mounting hole is provided on the side of the drive body away from the center of the X-shaped structure of the correction body. The mounting hole is used to connect an auxiliary device, wherein the auxiliary device is used to drive the drive body to move closer to the center of the X-shaped structure of the correction body.

[0016] In one embodiment, guide grooves are provided on opposite sides of the driving parts of the two correction structures, and the side of the driving body is slidably connected to the guide grooves.

[0017] The technical solution of this invention sets the correction body in an X-shaped hinge structure. Therefore, when the two correction parts move away from each other, they apply a uniform and symmetrical thrust to the two side edges of the connecting rib, thereby directly and precisely adjusting the U-shaped outward convex dimension of the connecting rib. Understandably, since the total length of the connecting rib is fixed (outer edge + two side edges), when the distance between the two side edges increases, it inevitably leads to a decrease in the distance between the outer edge and the module unit (i.e., the U-shaped outward convex dimension). Therefore, by adjusting the increase in the distance between the two side edges, the U-shaped outward convex dimension of the connecting rib can be adjusted, thereby ensuring that the U-shaped outward convex dimension of each connecting rib is basically uniform. This adjustment effectively solves the key technical problem in the background art of poor fit between adjacent module units due to inconsistent U-shaped outward convex dimensions of the connecting ribs. By ensuring that the distance between the outer edge of each connecting rib and the module unit reaches a uniform standard, this device provides a precise assembly benchmark for subsequent hook-and-loop connections and peripheral welding processes, significantly improving the connection strength between module units and the overall stability of the building.

[0024] Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) is an industrialized construction technology that breaks down a building into standardized prefabricated modular units in a factory, which are then rapidly assembled on-site to form a complete building. According to the technical requirements of some manufacturers, several U-shaped or C-shaped connecting ribs 60 (as shown in the attached diagram) are protruding outwards on the connecting side of one of two adjacent modular units. Figure 1As shown in the diagram, the connecting side of another module unit is provided with several hook-shaped parts. These hook-shaped parts are connected to the connecting ribs to improve the connection strength between the two module units. Subsequently, the two module units are joined together by welding or other processes to form an integral building. However, in actual production, the U-shaped outward convexity of each connecting rib is difficult to standardize. That is, the distance between the outer edge 61 of each connecting rib and the connecting side of the module unit 70 varies greatly, affecting the fit between the connecting sides of the two module units after they are joined.

[0025] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention proposes a device for correcting the alignment of connecting ribs in MIC module units.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, the correction device is used to adjust the outward protrusion of the connecting rib 60 of the U-shaped structure, wherein the connecting rib 60 includes an outer edge 61 and two side edges 62 respectively connected to opposite ends of the outer edge 61, and the other end of the side edges 62 is fixedly connected to the module unit 70. Specifically, the correction device includes: The correction body 10 includes two correction structures 20, which are arranged to cross each other and are hinged together at the middle to form an X-shaped structure. The first end of the correction structure 20 is defined as the correction part 21, and the second end of the correction structure 20 is defined as the driving part 22. The correction parts 21 of the two correction structures 20 are used to be disposed on the inner side of the C-shape of the connecting rib 60, and the two correction parts 21 are respectively used to abut against the two side edges 62 of the connecting rib 60. When the driving parts 22 of the two correction structures 20 move away from each other, the two correction parts 21 move away from each other accordingly, thereby causing the two side edges 62 of the connecting rib 60 to move away from each other, thereby reducing the distance between the outer edge 61 of the connecting rib 60 and the module unit 70.

[0027] The technical solution of this invention sets the correction body 10 into an X-shaped hinge structure. Therefore, when the driving part 22 moves away from each other, the two correction parts 21 apply a uniform and symmetrical thrust to the two side edges 62 of the connecting rib 60, thereby directly and accurately adjusting the U-shaped convex dimension of the connecting rib 60. Understandably, since the total length of the connecting rib 60 is constant (outer edge 61 + two side edges 62), when the distance between the two side edges 62 increases, it inevitably leads to a decrease in the distance between the outer edge 61 and the module unit 70 (i.e., the U-shaped convex dimension). Therefore, by adjusting the increase in the distance between the two side edges 62, the U-shaped convex dimension of the connecting rib 60 can be adjusted, thereby ensuring that the U-shaped convex dimension of each connecting rib 60 is basically uniform. This adjustment effectively solves the key technical problem in the prior art of poor fit between adjacent module units 70 due to inconsistent U-shaped convex dimensions of the connecting ribs 60. By ensuring that the distance between the outer edge 61 of each connecting rib 60 and the module unit 70 reaches a uniform standard, this device provides a precise assembly benchmark for subsequent hook and loop connections and peripheral welding processes, significantly improving the connection strength between module units 70 and the stability of the overall building.

[0028] Specifically, the operation process of the correction device is as follows: Step S1: Place the two correction parts 21 of the correction device into the inner space of the U-shaped connecting rib 60 to be adjusted, and make the end face of each correction part 21 abut against the inner wall of the two side edges 62 of the connecting rib 60. At this time, the correction body 10 has an X-shaped structure in a closed state; Step S2: Apply forces in opposite directions to the two drive units 22 to cause the two drive units 22 to move away from each other; since the two correction structures 20 are hinged in the middle, the mutual movement of the drive units 22 forces the two correction units 21 to move away from each other around the hinge point; the correction unit 21 converts this movement into an outward pushing force on the inward surface of the two side edges 62 of the connecting rib 60. Step S3: Under the continuous and uniform outward pushing force of the correction part 21, the two side edges 62 of the connecting rib 60 undergo plastic deformation, causing them to move away from each other, thereby increasing the width of the U-shaped opening of the connecting rib 60. This deformation directly causes the outer edge 61 of the connecting rib 60 to move closer to the body of the module unit 70, that is, to reduce the U-shaped outward convex size; Step S4: During the application of force, the operator can determine whether the preset target size has been achieved by measuring (e.g., using calipers) the distance between the outer edge 61 of the connecting rib 60 and the connecting side surface of the module unit 70 in real time. Precise control of the outward convex dimension can be achieved by finely adjusting the opening and closing degree of the drive unit 22. Step S5: After confirming that the size adjustment is in place, remove the force applied to the drive unit 22, or bring the drive units 22 together so that the correction unit 21 is no longer in contact with the side edge 62 of the connecting rib 60. Then the entire correction device can be removed from the connecting rib 60, and the correction operation of the connecting rib 60 is completed.

[0029] The core of the entire operation process described above is to efficiently convert the easy-to-operate manual opening and closing action applied to the drive unit 22 into the expansion force of the correction unit 21 on the side wall of the connecting rib 3 through the X-shaped hinge structure, thereby realizing the correction operation of the U-shaped outward convex dimension of the connecting rib 60.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment, the correction part 21 is rotatably connected to a connecting structure 30. The connecting structure 30 is used to maintain continuous connection with the side edge 62 when the two correction parts 21 move away from each other. This configuration, by adding a rotatable connecting structure 30 between the correction part 21 and the side edge 62 of the connecting rib 60, solves the problems of poor contact and uneven force application that may occur during the correction process. Specifically, when the correction part 21 moves outward to push away the side edge 62, the connecting structure 30 can adaptively rotate according to the actual angle and position of the side edge 62, thereby ensuring that its contact surface with the side edge 62 always remains in contact. This design effectively avoids "point contact" or "line contact" caused by rigid contact, preventing the risk of slippage, misalignment, or excessive local pressure during force application. Therefore, the rotating connection structure 30 not only ensures that the correction force can be continuously, stably and vertically transmitted to the side edge 62, improving the accuracy and controllability of the size adjustment, but also reduces the potential damage to the surface of the connecting rib 60, making the entire correction operation more reliable and efficient.

[0031] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 The connecting structure 30 includes a rotating block 31, which is rotatably connected to the correction unit 21 via a rotating shaft 32. A connecting block 33 is provided on the side of the rotating block 31 facing the side edge 62, and the connecting block 33 is used to connect with the side edge 62. This arrangement achieves functional modularity and optimizes the force transmission path; the rotating block 31 is responsible for the hinged rotation with the correction unit 21, mitigating angle changes; while the independent connecting block 33 is dedicated to connecting with the side edge 62. This division of labor design reduces the processing complexity of individual parts and improves the reliability and maintainability of the device. At the same time, the force transmission path is clearer and more reasonable, reducing stress concentration within the structure.

[0032] Furthermore, the connecting block 33 is slidably connected to the rotating block 31. Specifically, the rotating block 31 is provided with a slide rail 311, wherein the cross-section of the slide rail 311 is a dovetail groove structure. The connecting block 33 is fitted into the dovetail groove structure of the slide rail 311, and the connecting block 33 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 311. This configuration allows the sliding connection to allow the connecting block 33 to move along the slide rail 311 within a certain range, enabling it to adapt to small deviations in the side edge 62 of different thicknesses or during initial alignment, as well as the corresponding movement of the connecting block 33 caused by the movement of the correction part 21 during the correction process, thus improving the fault tolerance and applicability of the device. The use of a dovetail groove structure for fitting ensures that the connecting block 33 will not detach from the rotating block 31 when subjected to radial thrust, while allowing sliding. This results in a compact structure with strong shear resistance, ensuring safety and controllability.

[0033] Furthermore, each end of the slide rail 311 is provided with a limiting part 312, which abuts against the connecting block 33. This design prevents the connecting block 33 from accidentally slipping out of the slide rail 311 and limits its safe working stroke. The limiting part 312 acts as a mechanical stop, clearly defining the boundary of the connecting block 33's movement. This not only prevents the connecting block 33 from completely detaching due to excessive stretching during use, thus avoiding loss of parts or installation inconvenience, but also indicates to the operator that the adjustment limit has been reached, thus serving a dual purpose of safety protection and usage guidance.

[0034] Furthermore, the connecting block 33 has a recessed groove 331 on the side facing the side edge 62, which is used to engage with at least a portion of the side edge 62. This design allows the groove 331 to engage with a portion of the side edge 62, forming a mechanical interlock similar to a mortise and tenon joint, fundamentally preventing relative slippage or disengagement during the application of thrust. This makes force transmission more direct and efficient, allowing for the application of larger corrective forces, and is particularly suitable for correction scenarios requiring large deformations, significantly improving operational reliability and efficiency.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment, the correction sections 21 of the two correction structures 20 are interconnected by an elastic member 40, which applies an elastic force to the two correction sections 21 to bring them closer together. This arrangement ensures that the elastic force applied by the elastic member 40 always brings the two correction sections 21 closer together, allowing the device to automatically maintain its initial retracted posture when not in operation. This not only facilitates carrying and storing the device but also makes it easier to insert into or remove from the U-shaped inner space of the connecting rib 60, improving the convenience of the correction operation.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment of the above, the correction device includes a drive body 50, which is positioned between the two drive sections 22 and moves towards the center of the X-shaped structure of the correction body 10 to drive the two drive sections 22 to move away from each other. With this configuration, the core function of the drive body 50, positioned between the two drive sections 22, is that when an operator or external device pushes the drive body 50 towards the center of the X-shaped hinge structure, both sides of the drive body 50 simultaneously compress the inner sides of the two drive sections 22. Due to the geometric constraints of the X-shaped structure, the drive sections 22, after being subjected to this inward compressive force, are forced to move laterally away from each other. This ingenious design transforms the complex operation that would otherwise require directly prying the two drive sections 22 apart laterally (laborious and difficult to control) into a simple, linear pushing action in a single direction. This transformation not only makes the operation extremely labor-saving (significantly reducing labor intensity) but also centralizes and standardizes the force application point, making it possible to achieve precise, controllable, and even automated driving using auxiliary devices such as jacks, hydraulic cylinders, and threaded rods. Therefore, the configuration of the drive body 50 greatly optimizes the ergonomics of the device and lays the structural foundation for its upgrade from a manual tool to an efficient and precise industrial device.

[0037] Furthermore, a mounting hole 51 is provided on the side of the drive body 50 away from the center of the X-shaped structure of the correction body 10. The mounting hole 51 is used to connect an auxiliary device, which drives the drive body 50 to move closer to the center of the X-shaped structure of the correction body 10. This arrangement, by providing the mounting hole 51 on the outside of the drive body 50, provides a standardized power interface for the drive body 50, thereby achieving an upgrade from manual operation to mechanized and automated operation. The mounting hole 51 serves as a universal and stable connection point, allowing the operator to easily and quickly adapt and connect various auxiliary drive devices, such as jacks, hydraulic cylinders, threaded rods, etc., which provide precise, controllable, and powerful linear driving force. In this embodiment, the mounting hole 51 can be configured as a threaded hole.

[0038] Furthermore, guide grooves 221 are provided on opposite sides of the drive units 22 of the two correction structures 20, and the side of the drive body 50 is slidably connected to the guide grooves 221. This arrangement strictly constrains the movement path of the drive body 50, preventing it from swaying, twisting, or jumping during compression. This ensures that the thrust on the two drive units 22 is always symmetrical and balanced, thereby making the expansion movement of the two correction units 21 synchronous and smooth, ultimately achieving uniform and twist-free deformation on both sides of the connecting rib 60, further improving correction accuracy and product quality.

[0039] It should be noted that other aspects of the correction device for the connecting ribs of the MIC module unit disclosed in this invention are prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0040] The above are merely optional embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any application of the present invention directly or indirectly in other related technical fields is included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
