Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of road maintenance technology, specifically to a vehicle-mounted asphalt pothole repair construction process and equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In road pothole repair construction, the most critical and persistent technical problem stems from the inherent discrete relay of multiple equipment and the physical interruption of procedures, which inevitably leads to repeated positioning and loss of reference points. Specifically, since key processes such as cutting, cleaning, drying, applying adhesive, and compacting filler must be carried out step by step using specialized equipment with single functions, the completion of each independent process means the removal of the current equipment and the arrival of the next equipment. Each equipment change requires a completely new manual visual positioning and mechanical alignment of the same pothole work surface. This results in the entire construction process being fragmented into multiple discrete segments. The lack of a unified and inheritable spatial coordinate benchmark between each process makes it impossible to directly and accurately transfer and reuse the precise location and geometric information of the pits and trenches between different equipment and processes. The direct consequence is that a large amount of repetitive position calibration and debugging work relying on manual experience must be carried out during the construction process. This not only causes serious delays and efficiency losses, but also makes it difficult to ensure the high degree of spatial conformity and precise superposition of the processing areas of each process due to the randomness of human intervention. Ultimately, it affects the regularity of pit repair, the uniformity of adhesive layer coverage, and the density of repair material filling, becoming a key bottleneck restricting repair quality, efficiency, and process consistency.

[0049] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0050] As attached Figure 5-9 As shown, a vehicle-mounted asphalt pothole repair construction process is characterized by the following steps:
[0051] S10: Drive the robotic arm to move the end effector to the position directly above the pit, take this position as the initial position and obtain the corresponding initial spatial coordinates and initial joint angle sequence;
[0052] S20: Based on the aforementioned execution robotic arm driving the ring-cutting grinding disc and the suction component to perform ring cutting and immediate suction, a processing pit is formed;
[0053] S30: Generate a drying joint angle sequence for the corresponding drying operation of the robotic arm based on the initial joint angle sequence, and then drive the robotic arm to adaptively dry the processing pit through the hot air gun.
[0054] S40: Generate a spraying joint angle sequence for the spraying operation corresponding to the initial joint angle sequence, and then drive the robotic arm to adaptively spray the processing pit through the nozzle.
[0055] S50: The robotic arm acquires the precast asphalt block based on the preset joint angle of the storage box, and places the precast asphalt block into the processing pit based on the initial spatial coordinates.
[0056] In this embodiment, the initial position is the reference pose set and confirmed before the robotic arm starts, resets, or enters an automatic cycle, serving as the starting point and benchmark for motion planning and control; the initial spatial coordinates are a set of three-dimensional values used to accurately describe the initial position in a coordinate system with the robotic arm base as the reference; the initial joint angle sequence is the set of angle values corresponding to each joint of the robotic arm when it is in the "initial position"; the processing pit is the regularly shaped, clean pit to be repaired obtained after the ring-cutting grinding disc and the suction device work together; the drying joint angle sequence is a set of ordered joint angle command sequences derived by the control system based on the initial joint angle sequence, used to plan all motion postures of the robotic arm when operating the hot air gun for drying operations; the spraying joint angle sequence is a set of ordered joint angle command sequences derived or preset by the control system based on the initial joint angle sequence, used to plan all motion postures of the robotic arm when operating the nozzle for spraying operations; the storage box joint angle is the joint angle value preset in the control system that enables the end of the robotic arm to accurately reach the on-board storage box and complete the grasping action.
[0057] Specifically, the construction process begins with operating the robotic arm, moving its end effector attachment to precisely stop directly above the pit to be repaired. This point is defined as the initial position of the operation. Simultaneously, the control system records and stores the spatial coordinates of this position and the angle values of each joint of the robotic arm at this moment. Subsequently, based on this initial position information, the control system drives the robotic arm, causing the circumferential cutting disc on the end effector attachment to rotate and cut downwards to mechanically mill the irregular damaged parts of the pit. Meanwhile, the suction unit integrated on the end effector is activated synchronously throughout the process, using negative pressure suction to immediately remove all waste and wastewater generated during cutting, thus forming a well-shaped and clean pit. After completing the circumferential cutting and cleaning, the control system, based on the previously recorded initial joint angles, automatically calculates the amount of robotic arm required to drive the hot air gun to scan and dry the entire inner surface of the pit using coordinate transformation and path planning algorithms. The arm's movement trajectory is represented as a series of ordered joint angle commands, i.e., a drying joint angle sequence. The robotic arm adaptively adjusts its posture according to this sequence, manipulating the hot air gun to uniformly dry and preheat the pit. Next, the control system generates another set of joint angle sequences for spraying adhesive material, i.e., a spraying joint angle sequence, based on the same initial joint angles, and drives the robotic arm to manipulate the nozzle, adaptively and uniformly spraying adhesive oil onto the inner surface of the dried processing pit according to the planned path. Finally, the robotic arm first moves to the vehicle-mounted storage box according to the preset storage box joint angle, uses the vacuum suction cup on the working attachment to pick up a precast asphalt block, and then calls and matches the initial spatial coordinates recorded at the beginning of the process to accurately transfer and place the picked-up precast asphalt block into the processing pit that has been coated with adhesive material, thereby completing the integrated repair operation from positioning, pretreatment to final filling.
[0058] In one embodiment, step S10 includes the following steps:
[0059] S101: Start the hydraulic station of the robotic arm, and control the rotation of the robotic arm base and the extension of the robotic arm based on the remote control to move the working attachment to the area above the pit to achieve coarse positioning;
[0060] S102: Based on remote control, the mechanical boom and linkage mechanism are finely adjusted to ensure that the center of the ring cutting grinding disc at the end of the working attachment is precisely aligned with the center of the pit, thus achieving precise positioning.
[0061] S103: The control system establishes a spatial coordinate system based on the robot arm base as the origin, generates initial spatial coordinates with the spatial position of the working attachment under precise positioning as the initial position, and records the angle data of each joint of the robot arm at this time to generate an initial joint angle sequence.
[0062] In this embodiment, coarse positioning refers to the process of the robotic arm driving the working attachment to make a large-scale and rapid initial movement, so that it moves from the parking position to the area roughly above the target pit, completing the initial spatial approach; fine positioning refers to the process of making a small-scale and high-precision fine adjustment to the position of the end of the robotic arm based on the coarse positioning, so that the center of the ring cutting grinding disc on the working attachment is precisely aligned with the center of the processing pit in three-dimensional space.
[0063] Specifically, the process begins with starting the power source. The operator issues a command using a remote control, and upon receiving the command, the control system drives the hydraulic station of the robotic arm to quickly move the end effector from its initial parking position to the area above the pothole, completing coarse positioning covering a large area. Next, more precise control is achieved via the remote control, fine-tuning the extension length or angle of the robotic arm and linking it to the end effector's linkage mechanism to make subtle and precise corrections to the end effector's posture. This ensures that the center point of the annular grinding disc on the end effector perfectly coincides vertically with the geometric center point of the pothole, achieving high-precision positioning. Furthermore, the control system... The system establishes a dedicated spatial coordinate system with the fixed center of the robotic arm base as the origin of the three-dimensional coordinate system. Within this coordinate system, it calculates the precise three-dimensional position of the end effector of the current working attachment and defines this point as the reference point for all subsequent automated operations, i.e., the initial position, and generates the corresponding initial spatial coordinates. At the same time, the control system synchronously reads and permanently records the angle data of all joints required to maintain the precise posture of the robotic arm at this moment. This completely binds the physical position in space with the internal posture data of the robotic arm, laying an immovable data foundation for the automatic and precise reproduction of all subsequent processes.
[0064] In one embodiment, step S20 includes the following steps:
[0065] S201: Start the industrial vacuum cleaner to provide negative pressure for the suction components, and start the electric pump to provide coolant to the ring-cutting grinding disc;
[0066] S202: The robotic arm replicates the working attachment to its initial position, and the control system adaptively drives the robotic arm and the circumferential cutting disc to perform circumferential cutting operations.
[0067] S203: Throughout the circumferential cutting operation, the suction unit works together to perform suction operations.
[0068] Specifically, the process involves first activating an industrial vacuum cleaner to establish and maintain a strong negative pressure on its connected suction unit, and then starting an electric pump to provide coolant to the circumferential cutting disc in preparation for the cutting process. The control system then retrieves and replicates the initial position coordinates accurately measured and stored during the precision positioning phase, driving the movement of each joint of the robotic arm to precisely replicate the entire working attachment to that spatial position. Subsequently, the control system generates and issues drive commands based on a preset program, controlling the robotic arm to move along the planned trajectory while simultaneously driving the circumferential cutting disc to rotate at high speed. Both work together to begin regularizing the cutting of the pit. Throughout the circumferential cutting operation, the suction unit remains operational, utilizing the stable negative pressure provided by the industrial vacuum cleaner to directly and synchronously suck up and remove the mixture of asphalt fragments, stone dust, and slurry wastewater generated during the cutting process from the working surface. This achieves a high degree of temporal and spatial unity and seamless coordination between "cutting" and "cleaning."
[0069] In one embodiment, step S30 includes the following steps:
[0070] S301: Generate the drying joint angle sequence of the robotic arm based on the initial joint angle sequence;
[0071] S302: Based on the drying joint angle sequence, drive the robotic arm to make the hot air gun vertically oriented toward the center of the processing pit;
[0072] S303: Based on preset drying adjustment parameters, control the orientation and position of the hot air gun to perform drying operations on the processing pit.
[0073] In this embodiment, the drying adjustment parameters are a set of process control instructions for the drying operation that are pre-stored in the control system. These typically include, but are not limited to, the temperature and wind speed of the hot air gun, the path of the robotic arm that drives the hot air gun to perform scanning motion, the scanning speed, and the dwell time at each position.
[0074] Specifically, the control system generates a drying joint angle sequence based on the initial joint angle sequence. Following this sequence, it drives the coordinated movement of each joint of the robotic arm, precisely moving the hot air gun on the work attachment and ultimately adjusting its nozzle to a vertical orientation, accurately aligning it with the preset starting point at the center of the processing pit. After the hot air gun is activated, the control system calls preset drying adjustment parameters, controlling not only the output power of the hot air gun itself but also dynamically and adaptively driving the robotic arm according to the scanning mode defined in the parameters. This allows for real-time and precise adjustment of the hot air gun's "orientation and position" during operation, ensuring it moves spirally from the center to the edge along a predetermined path to dry the bottom and sidewalls of the processing pit until the entire working surface reaches the preset dry state.
[0075] In one embodiment, step S40 includes the following steps:
[0076] S401: Generate a spraying joint angle sequence for the robotic arm based on the initial joint angle sequence;
[0077] S402: Based on the spray joint angle sequence, drive the robotic arm to position the nozzle directly above the processing pit and towards the side wall of the processing pit;
[0078] S403: Based on a preset spray trajectory, control the orientation of the nozzle to spray the processing pit.
[0079] In this embodiment, the control system generates a spraying joint angle sequence based on an initial joint angle sequence. Subsequently, the control system drives the robotic arm according to this sequence, causing the working attachment to move precisely to a predetermined starting point directly above the processing pit. Simultaneously, the nozzle's orientation is adjusted so that its spray direction is primarily aligned with the sidewall of the pit, establishing the correct initial working posture for subsequent scanning spraying. Finally, automated spraying is executed. After the nozzle starts, the control system strictly follows the preset spraying trajectory to control the movement of the robotic arm, thereby continuously adjusting the nozzle's orientation and position in three-dimensional space in real time. This ensures that the nozzle performs a uniform and thorough spraying operation on the processing pit according to a predetermined pattern, such as first spiraling down around the sidewall and then covering the bottom, ensuring the bonding oil forms a complete covering layer.
[0080] In one embodiment, step S50 includes the following steps:
[0081] S501: The robotic arm retrieves precast asphalt blocks based on a vacuum suction cup according to the preset joint angle of the storage box;
[0082] S502: The robotic arm moves the precast asphalt block directly above the processing pit based on the initial joint angle sequence and accurately places the precast asphalt block into the processing pit coated with adhesive oil.
[0083] S503: Based on preset compaction adjustment parameters, the robotic arm is controlled to press down and compact the precast asphalt blocks using a ring-cutting grinding disc.
[0084] In this embodiment, the joint angle of the storage box is a set of specific joint angle values of the robotic arm that are pre-measured and stored in the control system; the compaction adjustment parameters are a set of pre-set process instructions used to control the compaction operation, including the pressing speed, pressing depth, holding time, etc.
[0085] Specifically, the robotic arm first adjusts the joint angle of the storage box, driving each joint to a precise position so that the vacuum suction cup on the working attachment aligns with and contacts the precast asphalt block. Then, the vacuum suction cup is activated to pick up the precast asphalt block. Next, precise transfer and placement are performed. The robotic arm moves the precast asphalt block to its initial position, then descends vertically, accurately placing the asphalt block into the processing pit coated with adhesive oil. Once in place, the vacuum suction is released. Finally, a compaction process is performed. According to preset compaction adjustment parameters, the robotic arm typically presses the bottom surface of the ring-cutting grinding disc of the working attachment against the upper surface of the precast asphalt block with specific pressure and stroke to compact it, ensuring a tight bond between the precast asphalt block and the processing pit and achieving the predetermined density. This completes the final physical forming step of the repair operation.
[0086] As attached Figure 1-4 As shown, a vehicle-mounted asphalt pothole repair equipment includes a loading vehicle 1 for loading repair devices. An execution robotic arm 6 is fixedly installed on the loading vehicle 1. A working attachment 609 is movably installed at the end of the execution robotic arm 6. The working attachment 609 is integrated with a vacuum suction cup 610 for adsorbing precast asphalt blocks, a ring-cutting grinding disc 611 for cutting and grinding damaged road surfaces, a sewage suction device 612 for pumping out sewage, and a hot air gun 613 for drying and processing potholes.
[0087] In this embodiment, by fixing the robotic arm 6 on the loading vehicle 1 and movably installing the working attachment 609, which integrates a vacuum suction cup 610, a ring cutting grinding disc 611, a dirt suction component 612, and a hot air gun 613 at the end of the robotic arm 6, the equipment required for key road repair processes is integrated at the end of the robotic arm 6, replacing the traditional repair construction method of discrete equipment groups and cumbersome manual operations, and significantly improving the continuity and efficiency of construction.

[0089] The ring-cutting grinding disc 611 includes a cutter disc base 6111, on which a plurality of cutting insert mounting members 6112 are fixedly installed at equal intervals, and a plurality of cutting inserts 6113 are fixedly provided on the cutting insert mounting members 6112; a plurality of water guiding holes 6114 are also provided on the cutting insert mounting members 6112.
[0090] In this embodiment, the nozzle 614 is used to spray adhesive oil to strengthen the fixed installation of precast asphalt blocks. By fixing a ring-cutting grinding disc 611 to the bottom of the working attachment 609, and providing a suction device 612 on the outer periphery of the ring-cutting grinding disc 611, and installing a vacuum suction cup 610 and a hot air gun 613 on opposite sides of the working attachment, the equipment required for the four main construction processes of road repair is integrated onto the working attachment 609. Furthermore, the working attachment 609 has an adjustable orientation, ensuring that ring-cutting, cleaning, suction, and drying actions can be switched and coordinated efficiently and smoothly, avoiding functional interference and improving the overall coordination and efficiency of the operation.
[0091] The ring-cutting grinding disc 611 consists of a cutter head base 6111, several cutting insert mounting parts 6112, cutting inserts 6113 fixed on the mounting parts, and water guide holes 6114 formed on the cutting insert mounting parts 6112. In actual operation, the ring-cutting grinding disc 611 rotates as a whole, thereby cutting and grinding road potholes based on the cutting inserts 6113. The structural design of the water guide holes 6114 provides a channel for introducing cooling medium, directly achieving the effects of cooling and dust suppression, and extending tool life for the cutting and grinding operations. The wastewater mixed with dust is sucked away by the suction part 612 on the outer periphery of the ring-cutting grinding disc 611 using high-pressure suction, thereby preventing wastewater from polluting the road.
[0092] In one embodiment, the robotic arm 6 further includes a base 601 and a robotic arm base 602. The base 601 is fixedly installed on the top of the loading vehicle 1, and the robotic arm base 602 is rotatably installed on the top of the base 601. The upper part of the robotic arm base 602 is movably connected to one end of the robotic arm 603 based on a first hydraulic cylinder 604. The other end of the robotic arm 603 is movably installed with a robotic bucket 606 based on a second hydraulic cylinder 605. The other end of the robotic bucket 606 is movably installed with a linkage mechanism 608. One side of the linkage mechanism 608 is fixedly connected to a third hydraulic cylinder 607 on the robotic bucket 606, and the other side of the linkage mechanism 608 is movably connected to the top of the working attachment 609.
[0093] In this embodiment, the robotic arm 6 includes a base 601 and a robotic arm base 602. The robotic arm base 602 is connected to the robotic arm 603 via a first hydraulic cylinder 604, the robotic arm 603 is connected to the robotic bucket arm 606 via a second hydraulic cylinder 605, and the robotic bucket arm 606 is connected to the working attachment 609 via a third hydraulic cylinder 607 driving the linkage mechanism 608. This forms a multi-degree-of-freedom serial robotic arm structure composed of multiple arm segments, hydraulic cylinders, and linkage mechanism 608. It provides a wide range of highly flexible spatial movement capabilities and is the key structural support for enabling the working attachment 609 to perform precise and adaptive operations on pits.
[0094] In one embodiment, the loading vehicle 1 is also equipped with a generator 2 for powering the robotic arm 6. A water tank 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the generator 2. The water tank 3 is connected to the water guide hole 6114 for supplying water to assist the ring cutting grinding disc 611 in operation.
[0095] A hydraulic station 4 for driving the robotic arm 6 is installed on one side of the water storage tank 3, and a hydraulic station 5 for driving the ring cutting grinding disc 611 is installed on the other side of the hydraulic station 4.
[0096] The loading vehicle 1 is also equipped with an industrial vacuum cleaner 7 and a storage box 8. The industrial vacuum cleaner 7 is connected to the vacuum suction cup 610, and the storage box 8 is used to store tools and precast asphalt blocks.
[0097] In this embodiment, the smooth progress of the circumferential cutting and repair process is ensured by installing a generator 2 on the loading vehicle 1 to power the robotic arm 6 and a water tank 3 connected to the water guide hole 6114 of the circumferential cutting grinding disc 611. The structure of installing an industrial vacuum cleaner 7 connected to a vacuum suction cup 610 and a storage box 8 for storing tools and precast asphalt blocks on the loading vehicle 1 enables the industrial vacuum cleaner 7 to efficiently clean waste and wastewater mixed with dust via the vacuum suction cup 610. The dedicated storage box 8 provides space for centralized storage of materials and tools.
[0098] The specific process flow of the vehicle-mounted asphalt pothole repair construction technology and equipment of the present invention is as follows:
[0099] First, the robotic arm 6 is operated to move the working attachment 609, which integrates multiple tools at its end, directly above the pit to be repaired and precisely position it. The control system records the spatial coordinates of this initial position and the angle sequence of each joint of the robotic arm 6, serving as a unified benchmark for all subsequent automated operations. Next, pit pretreatment is performed: the robotic arm 6 drives the circumferential milling disc 611 on the working attachment 609 to perform regular milling on the pit, while the suction unit 612 simultaneously sucks up chips and wastewater under negative pressure, forming a clean processed pit. After completion, the control system automatically plans the path according to the initial joint angle sequence, drives the robotic arm 6 to operate the hot air gun 613 to scan and dry the inner wall of the pit, and then operates the nozzle to evenly spray adhesive oil. Finally, the robotic arm 6 uses a vacuum suction cup 610 to grab the precast asphalt block from the vehicle storage box 8 at a preset angle, and accurately places it into the pit according to the initial spatial coordinates. Finally, the ring cutting grinding disc 611 is driven to press down and compact the filling block, thus completing the entire repair operation from positioning, milling, cleaning, drying, gluing to filling and compaction in an integrated and automated manner.
