Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of steel plate forming technology, specifically to a storage and shaping device and method for storage tank wall panels. Background Technology

[0002] The sidewalls of large storage tanks are usually made of curved panels. On the one hand, there are no uniform standards for the on-site storage of the panels. Steel plates of different thicknesses, specifications and curvatures are mixed together, which can easily lead to irregular deformation due to mutual compression of the panels. On the other hand, irregular deformation can also easily occur during the normal hoisting and transportation of the panels (because of their large weight, they are prone to deformation). Therefore, it is necessary to correct them by hammering on the construction site.

[0003] In traditional techniques, a sledgehammer is commonly used to directly hammer the surface of the wall panel, which easily leads to dense hammer marks on the surface and a decline in appearance quality. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the problem of "hammering the surface of the wall panel causing a decline in its quality" in the above-mentioned background technology, the present invention provides a storage and shaping device and a shaping method for storage tank wall panels.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is: a storage and shaping device for storage tank wall panels, including a storage module, wherein the storage module is provided with a receiving groove for accommodating wall panels and having an arc-shaped bottom surface, and the lower surface of the wall panel can be pressed against the bottom surface of the receiving groove; and further including a buffer tool, wherein the buffer tool includes an arc-shaped pad and a gripping handle, and the arc-shaped pad is in the shape of an arc plate.

[0006] As a further optimization of the present invention, the arc-shaped pad can be disposed between the upper surface of the wall panel and the hammer to disperse and transmit the striking force to the wall panel.

[0007] As a further optimization of the present invention, the storage module includes an arc-shaped plate for forming the receiving groove and a bottom support frame fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the arc-shaped plate.

[0008] As a further optimization of the present invention, the bottom surface of one end of the gripping handle is fixedly connected to the top surface of the arc-shaped pad; when the bottom surface of the arc-shaped pad is adapted to fit the top surface of the wall panel, a gripping gap is provided between the gripping handle and the wall panel.

[0009] As a further optimization of the present invention, the gripping handle is in the shape of an arc-shaped rod.

[0010] As a further optimization of the present invention, the arc-shaped pad and the gripping handle are connected in a T-shape.

[0011] As a further optimization of the present invention, an electromagnet is provided on the bottom surface of the arc-shaped plate, and the electromagnet is located obliquely below the non-tapping end of the wall plate; an air nozzle is inserted and installed inside the arc-shaped plate, and the air nozzle is located obliquely below the tapping end of the wall plate; the electromagnet can magnetically attract the non-tapping end of the wall plate in an obliquely downward direction, and the air nozzle can blow the tapping end of the wall plate in an obliquely upward direction to drive the wall plate to swing in stages until the raised gap between the non-tapping end and the arc-shaped plate closes.

[0012] As a further optimization of the present invention, three electromagnets arranged from low to high on the bottom surface of the non-tapping end sequentially magnetize the non-tapping end; three air nozzles arranged from high to low inside the tapping end sequentially blow air onto the tapping end.

[0013] As a further optimization of the present invention, the top of the bottom support frame is provided with a fastening component for fastening and limiting the non-impacting end; the fastening component includes a rotatable rotating arm, the end of which is provided with a bent portion, the bent portion being used to fasten the top of the non-impacting end.

[0014] A method for shaping the wall panel of a piggy bank, using the aforementioned piggy bank wall panel storage and shaping device to shape the wall panel, includes the following steps: S1, placing the wall panel in the receiving groove, with the lower surface of the wall panel pressed against the bottom surface of the receiving groove; S2, pressing the bottom surface of the arc-shaped pad against the upper surface of the wall panel; S3, using the hammer to strike the top surface of the arc-shaped pad to plastically deform the wall panel.

[0015] In summary, the present invention has at least one of the following advantages: (1) In this invention, the arc-shaped pad of the buffer tool can be set between the upper surface of the wall panel and the hammer to distribute the hammering force to the wall panel; that is, to avoid the hammer directly hitting the wall panel, increase the force-bearing area of ​​the wall panel, and thus avoid the problem of dense hammer marks on the surface of the wall panel and reduced appearance quality.

[0016] (2) When the gripping handle is arc-shaped, the arc-shaped pad is pressed against the middle of the upper surface of the wall panel, and an arc-shaped gripping gap can be formed between the gripping handle and the wall panel. The gripping gap can accommodate the user's palm and fingers, avoid the gripping handle and the wall panel from pinching the fingers, and improve the ease of use and safety of the present invention.

[0017] (3) The present invention can eliminate the warping gap before hammering the wall panel, and use the fastening component to fasten and fix the non-hammering end of the wall panel, thereby avoiding the problem of the wall panel rotating due to the impact force on the hammering end, and thus avoiding the problem of the hammering shaping function failing.

[0018] (4) An electromagnet is used to apply a downward pulling force (magnetic attraction) to the non-impacting end of the wall panel, while an air nozzle is used to apply an upward impact force (impact force from high-pressure airflow) to the impacting end of the wall panel. The two work together to apply torque to the wall panel, thereby driving the wall panel to swing (instead of slipping at the tangential position), which has higher reliability and higher degree of automation.

[0019] (5) Multiple electromagnets and multiple air nozzles drive the wall panel to rotate in stages, avoiding the problem of the wall panel disengaging from the electromagnet due to excessive rotation angle at one time, thus improving the stability of the invention.

[0020] (6) If both the electromagnet and the jet nozzle are installed below the arc plate, the top opening of the receiving groove can be kept open, so that the wall panel can be easily and smoothly entered / removed from the receiving groove, thereby simplifying the operation steps as much as possible (for example, pressing the non-knocking end downward with the pressure roller can also eliminate the warping gap, but the vertical movement of the pressure roller requires a specific drive structure, which will block the top opening of the receiving groove, and removing the drive structure laterally requires additional operation steps, and the drive structure itself requires additional costs).

[0021] (7) The fastening component can fix the non-knocking end and make the top of the non-knocking end fit and conform to the curved plate. Then, when the hammer is used to strike the striking end, the striking end can fit with the curved plate on the one hand, and the part of the non-knocking end close to the striking end can fit and conform to the curved plate on the other hand. That is, the overall shaping of the wall panel can be achieved by hammering and shaping only one side (i.e. the striking end). (Compared with the scheme of hammering on both sides) it can reduce the movement of personnel, simplify the operation steps, and improve the work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0024] Based on the above-described structural features of this application, the implementation methods of this application will be further described as follows: Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The storage tank 3 includes side walls and a top cover. The side walls include wall panels 31, which are arc-shaped plates 11 in structure. Several wall panels 31 are arranged in a cylindrical structure (adjacent wall panels 31 are fixedly connected by welding / bolts). The top cover includes fan-shaped top plates 32, which are arranged in a conical structure (adjacent fan-shaped top plates 32 are fixedly connected by welding / bolts). The bottom edge of the wall panels 31 is fixedly connected to the foundation (e.g., by bolts), and the top edge of the wall panels 31 is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped plates 11 (e.g., by bolts). The inner surfaces of the wall panels 31 and the fan-shaped top plates 32 are both connected to a supporting frame (e.g., a frame structure formed by welding / bolting structural beams and columns, used to support the storage tank 3 from the inside).

[0025] Reference Figures 1-3 This embodiment provides a storage and shaping device for storage tank wall panels, used for temporarily storing wall panels 31 and shaping irregularly shaped wall panels 31 to meet construction requirements.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The storage tank wall panel storage and shaping device includes a storage module 1, which is placed on the ground at the construction site. The storage module 1 (at the center of its top surface) has a receiving groove 10 with an arc-shaped bottom surface for accommodating the wall panel 31. The wall panel 31 can be fitted into the receiving groove 10, and the lower surface of the wall panel 31 can be pressed against the bottom surface of the receiving groove 10. The bottom surface of the receiving groove 10 is used to shape the wall panel 31.

[0027] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The storage and shaping device for the storage tank wall panel also includes a cushioning tool 2, which includes an arc-shaped pad 21 and a gripping handle 22. The arc-shaped pad 21 has an arc-shaped plate structure 11; the gripping handle 22 has a rod-shaped structure. The arc-shaped pad 21 can be placed between the upper surface of the wall panel 31 and the hammer (and the bottom surface of the arc-shaped pad 21 is pressed against the upper surface of the wall panel 31) to disperse and transmit the hammering force to the wall panel 31 (i.e., to avoid the hammer directly striking the wall panel 31, thereby avoiding the problem of dense hammer marks on the surface of the wall panel 31 and a decline in appearance quality).

[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3The storage module 1 includes an arc-shaped plate 11 forming a receiving slot 10 and a bottom support frame 12 fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the arc-shaped plate 11. The bottom support frame 12 includes upright support plates 121, bottom support cross plates 122, and a back plate 123; the upright support plates 121 are provided in a plurality of positions and their top ends are fixedly connected to the arc-shaped plate 11 (e.g., by bolts or by welding); the bottom ends of the upright support plates 121 are vertically fixedly connected to the bottom support cross plates 122 (e.g., by bolts or by welding); the back plate 123 is upright and is vertically fixedly connected to the rear edge of the upright support plates 121 (e.g., by bolts or by welding), and the bottom end of the back plate 123 is vertically fixedly connected to the bottom support cross plates 122 (e.g., by bolts or by welding).

[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The storage module 1 also includes a reinforcing rib 13; the reinforcing rib 13 is used to increase the structural strength of the bottom support frame 12. The reinforcing rib 13 is a triangular plate structure; the reinforcing rib 13 has two (mutually perpendicular) right-angled edges, one of which is attached to and fixedly connected to the upright support plate 121 (e.g., by bolting or welding), and the other right-angled edge is attached to and fixedly connected to the bottom support cross plate 122 (e.g., by bolting or welding).

[0030] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The curvature of the bottom surface of the arc-shaped pad 21 is adapted to the curvature of the upper surface of the qualified wall panel 31; the curvature of the upper surface of the arc-shaped plate 11 is adapted to the curvature of the lower surface of the qualified wall panel 31 (a qualified wall panel 31 is a wall panel 31 whose dimensional accuracy meets the construction standards, i.e., a shaped wall panel 31).

[0031] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6 The bottom surface of one end of the gripping handle 22 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the arc-shaped pad 21 (for example, by bolts or by welding); when the bottom surface of the arc-shaped pad 21 is fitted to the top surface of the wall panel 31, a gripping gap 220 is provided between the gripping handle 22 and the wall panel 31 (the gripping handle 22 needs to be held by the user, so the gripping gap 220 is used to accommodate the user's fingers and avoid the gripping handle 22 and the wall panel 31 from pinching the fingers).

[0032] Reference Figure 5 When the arc-shaped pad 21 is located at the outer edge of the upper surface of the wall panel 31, the gripping handle 22 is located outside the receiving groove 10, so the user can easily hold the gripping handle 22 without having to place their fingers between the gripping handle 22 and the wall panel 31.

[0033] Reference Figure 6Since the gripping handle 22 is in the shape of an arc rod, and the curvature of the gripping handle 22 is adapted to the curvature of the wall panel 31 / arc plate 11, when the arc pad 21 is located in the middle of the upper surface of the wall panel 31, an arc-shaped gripping gap 220 is formed between the gripping handle 22 and the wall panel 31. This gripping gap 220 is used to accommodate the user's fingers.

[0034] Reference Figure 4 The arc-shaped pad 21 and the gripping handle 22 are connected in a T-shape, so the hammer can strike the upper surface of the arc-shaped pad 21 without contacting the gripping handle 22, thus avoiding damage to the gripping handle 22 and extending the service life of the invention.

[0035] Reference Figure 7 The wall panel 31 needs to be hoisted and placed in the receiving groove 10 (e.g., using a truck crane). When the wall panel 31 is hoisted, its stress point is located at its straight edge (e.g., an electromagnetic chuck 41 is installed at the bottom of the sling 4, and the electromagnetic chuck 41 magnetically attracts the straight edge of the wall panel 31, allowing it to be hoisted in a concave shape). This process causes the wall panel 31 to bear an inward bending force (driven by its own weight), making the radius R1 of the wall panel 31 smaller than the radius R2 of the bottom surface of the receiving groove 10 (in conjunction with...). Figure 1 Therefore, the lower surface of the wall panel 31 cannot fit snugly against the bottom surface of the receiving groove 10. When one side of the wall panel 31 is hammered, the other side of the wall panel 31 will adaptively lift (i.e., tilt / swing), creating a force-relieving effect and causing the hammering and shaping function to fail (see...). Figure 8 The two ends of the wall panel 31 are the striking end 3101 and the non-striking end 3102, respectively. Since the wall panel 31 itself has a certain rigidity, when the user strikes the upper surface of the striking end 3101 with a hammer, the non-striking end 3102 will automatically rise, so that a warping gap 110 is generated between the bottom surface of the non-striking end 3102 and the bottom surface of the receiving groove 10.

[0036] Reference Figure 9 To solve the problem of the failure of the hammering shaping function, the warping gap 110 needs to be eliminated before (and during) hammering. The traditional technique is for the user to pry / push the hammering end 3101 (towards the non-hammering end 3102). This solution is not very effective in eliminating the warping gap 110 (the wall panel 31 needs to swing in stages to eliminate the warping gap 110; however, since the middle of the lower surface of the wall panel 31 is tangent to the middle of the receiving groove 10, it is easy to cause slippage at the tangent position, that is, it can only make the wall panel 31 slip rather than swing in stages).

[0037] Reference Figure 10To address the issue of the wall panel 31 sliding instead of oscillating in stages, an electromagnet 14 is provided on the bottom surface of the arc-shaped plate 11. The electromagnet 14 is located diagonally below the non-striking end 3102 of the wall panel 31. An air nozzle 15 is inserted into the arc-shaped plate 11 and is located diagonally below the striking end 3101 of the wall panel 31. The electromagnet 14 can magnetically attract the non-striking end 3102 of the wall panel 31 in a diagonally downward direction, and the air nozzle 15 can blow air onto the striking end 3101 of the wall panel 31 in a diagonally upward direction to drive the wall panel 31 to oscillate in stages until the raised gap 110 between the non-striking end 3102 and the arc-shaped plate 11 closes.

[0038] by Figure 10 Taking the shown perspective as an example, the left side of the wall panel 31 is the non-impact end 3102, and the right side is the impact end 3101. The electromagnet 14 is set in the non-impact sitting direction, so the direction of the magnetic force of the electromagnet 14 on the non-impact end 3102 is pointing to the lower left; the nozzle 15 is set in the lower right direction of the impact end 3101, and the axis of the top of the nozzle 15 is perpendicular to the arc plate 11. Then the high-pressure airflow ejected by the nozzle 15 points to the upper left, and the high-pressure airflow can impact the bottom surface of the impact end 3101 to generate a thrust on the impact end 3101. Therefore, under the combined action of the magnetic attraction force (of the electromagnet 14) and the impact force (of the high-pressure airflow), the wall panel 31 swings in stages instead of sliding, which can effectively eliminate the warping gap 110.

[0039] The electromagnet 14 is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the arc-shaped plate 11 by bolts (e.g., by bolt fixing); the electromagnet 14 can generate magnetic force when energized (the wall panel 31 is made of steel and can be attracted by magnetic force). The arc-shaped plate 11 is provided with a vent hole, and the top of the nozzle 15 is inserted into the vent hole, and the nozzle 15 is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped plate 11 (e.g., by bolt fixing).

[0040] Reference Figure 11 Three electromagnets 14, arranged from low to high on the bottom surface of the non-impacting end 3102, magnetically attract the non-impacting end 3102 in sequence. At the same time, three air nozzles 15, arranged from high to low inside the impacting end 3101, blow air into the impacting end 3101 in sequence; thereby applying a stepped oscillating force with gradually changing direction to the wall panel 31 to achieve gradient oscillation.

[0041] Reference Figure 11There are three electromagnets 14, namely electromagnet a14a, electromagnet b14b and electromagnet c14c; electromagnet a14a, electromagnet b14b and electromagnet c14c are arranged from low to high on the bottom surface of the non-striking end 3102 (that is, arranged sequentially from the position close to the striking end 3101 to the position far away from the striking end 3101). Electromagnets a14a, b14b, and c14c sequentially magnetically attract the non-striking end 3102. For example, if electromagnet a14a is energized first (while electromagnets b14b and c14c are de-energized), the wall panel 31 will swing ten degrees to the left in stages (taking 3 seconds). Then, if electromagnet b14b is energized (while electromagnets a14a and c14c are de-energized), the wall panel 31 will continue to swing ten degrees to the left in stages (taking 3 seconds). Then, if electromagnet c14c is energized (while electromagnets a14a and b14b are de-energized), the wall panel 31 will continue to swing ten degrees to the left in stages (taking 3 seconds), causing the tilting gap 110 to close completely. This gradient oscillation enables the wall panel 31 to oscillate slowly and in stages, alleviating the problem that the wall panel 31 cannot stabilize due to excessively large single-stage oscillation angles (i.e., avoiding the problem of magnetic attraction followed by detachment: since the wall panel 31 is usually over 4 meters long, it has a large weight; if the single-stage oscillation angle is too large, the wall panel 31 has a large kinetic energy, and will oscillate in the opposite direction under its own weight after the oscillation angle exceeds the range, causing the electromagnet 14 to detach from the wall panel 31), thus improving the reliability of the invention.

[0042] Reference Figure 11The nozzle 15 has three nozzles, namely nozzle a15a, nozzle b15b, and nozzle c15c. Nozzles a15a, b15b, and c15c are located on the bottom surface of the striking end 3101 and arranged from high to low (i.e., arranged sequentially from the position furthest from the non-striking end 3102 to the position closest to the non-striking end 3102). Nozzles a15a, b15b, and c15c sequentially blow onto the striking end 3101: for example, when nozzle a15a blows onto the striking end 3101 (while nozzles b15b and c15c are not blowing onto the striking end 3101), the wall panel 31 swings ten degrees to the left (taking 3 seconds); then nozzle b15b blows onto the striking end 3101 (at this time, nozzle a15a can either continue blowing onto the striking end 3101 or stop blowing onto it; and nozzle c15c...). If nozzle c15c does not blow air onto the striking end 3101, then the wall panel 31 continues to swing to the left in a stepped manner by ten degrees (taking 3 seconds); then nozzle c15c blows air onto the striking end 3101 (at this time, nozzle a15a can either continue blowing air onto the striking end 3101 or stop blowing air onto the striking end 3101; and nozzle c15c can either continue blowing air onto the striking end 3101 or stop blowing air onto the striking end 3101), then the wall panel 31 swings to the left in a stepped manner by ten degrees (taking 3 seconds), so that the raised gap 110 is completely closed. This gradient oscillation can realize the slow stepped oscillation of the wall panel 31, alleviate the problem that the single stepped oscillation angle of the wall panel 31 is too large and cannot be stably stopped, and improve the reliability of the present invention.

[0043] Reference Figure 11 When electromagnet a14a magnetically attracts the non-tapping end 3102, nozzle a15a blows air onto the tapping end 3101; when electromagnet b14b magnetically attracts the non-tapping end 3102, nozzle b15b blows air onto the tapping end 3101; when electromagnet c14c magnetically attracts the non-tapping end 3102, nozzle c15c blows air onto the tapping end 3101; thus achieving the coordinated operation of electromagnet 14 and nozzle 15.

[0044] Reference Figure 10 and Figure 11 The nozzle 15 is connected to the air pump 151 (via an air supply pipe). The air pump 151 is installed inside the base support frame 12, and its housing is fixedly connected to the base support frame 12 by bolts. The air pump 151 is used to force high-pressure airflow into the nozzle 15 and eject it through the nozzle 15 to blow air onto the striking end 3101. There are three air pumps 151, namely air pump a151a, air pump b151b, and air pump c151c. The nozzle a15a is connected to the air pump a151a (via an air supply pipe); the nozzle b15b is connected to the air pump b151b (via an air supply pipe); and the nozzle c15c is connected to the air pump c151c (via an air supply pipe).

[0045] Reference Figure 12To reduce the relative slippage between the wall panel 31 and the curved plate 11, an anti-slip strip 16 is provided on the upper surface of the curved plate 11 (the upper surface of the curved plate 11 has a strip-shaped groove, the anti-slip strip 16 is disposed in the strip-shaped groove, and the top of the anti-slip strip 16 protrudes slightly from the strip-shaped groove). The anti-slip strip 16 is fixedly connected to the curved plate 11 (e.g., by adhesive bonding or by bolts). The anti-slip strip 16 is made of rubber, which has a large frictional force with the wall panel 31, thus reducing the relative slippage between the wall panel 31 and the curved plate 11. Two anti-slip strips 16 are provided, one of which is disposed between electromagnets a14a and b14b, and the other of which is disposed between electromagnets b14b and c14c.

[0046] Reference Figure 13 The bottom support frame 12 is provided with a fastening component 5 at the top for fastening and limiting the non-impacting end 3102. After the wall panel 31 is rotated to the point where the tilting gap 110 is closed, the fastening component 5 is used to fasten the non-impacting end 3102, thereby preventing the wall panel 31 from swinging in the opposite direction. After that, all electromagnets 14 and air pumps 151 can be turned off to perform the hammering and shaping operation on the wall panel 31.

[0047] Reference Figure 13 and Figure 14The fastening assembly 5 includes a rotating arm 51, a support arm 52, and a first linear actuator 53. The middle part of the rotating arm 51 is rotatably connected to the top of the support arm 52 (e.g., via a first pivot and a bearing). The rotating arm 51 is inclined and can rotate around the center of the first pivot (to control whether the bent part 511 is fastened to the non-impact end 3102). The bottom end of the support arm 52 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the base support frame 12 (i.e., to the outer wall of the outermost support plate 121) by welding / bolts. One end of the first linear actuator 53 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the rotating arm 51 (e.g., via a second pivot and a bearing), and the other end is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the base support frame 12 (i.e., to the outer wall of the outermost support plate 121) (e.g., via a third pivot, a bearing seat, and a bearing; the bearing seat is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the outermost support plate 121 by bolts). The top of the rotating arm 51 has an L-shaped bend 511 (e.g., fixed by bolts or by an integral fixed connection). During the extension and retraction of the third linear actuator, the rotating arm 51 can be driven to rotate, thereby controlling the bend 511 to engage / disengage with the top of the non-impacting end 3102. When the third linear actuator shortens, it drives the bend 511 to move to the outside of the receiving groove 10, allowing the suspended wall panel 31 to be lowered into the receiving groove 10. When the third linear actuator extends, it drives the bend 511 to fasten the non-impacting end 3102, preventing the warping gap 110 from opening when the user hammers the impacting end 3101, thus preventing the hammering shaping function from failing. After the hammering shaping operation is completed, the third linear actuator shortens, driving the bend 511 to move to the outside of the receiving groove 10, allowing the wall panel 31 to be vertically lifted until it detaches from the receiving groove 10.

[0048] A method for shaping the wall panel of a savings tank, using a savings tank wall panel shaping device to shape the wall panel 31, includes the following steps: S1. Place the wall panel 31 in the receiving groove 10, and press the lower surface of the wall panel 31 against the bottom surface of the receiving groove 10.

[0049] S2. Press the bottom surface of the arc-shaped pad 21 onto the upper surface of the wall panel 31 (specifically, the upper surface of the striking end 3101).

[0050] S3. Use a hammer to strike the top surface of the curved pad 21 to cause the wall panel 31 to undergo plastic deformation.

[0051] Step S1 further includes: S11. Place the wall panel 31 in the receiving groove 10, and press the lower surface of the wall panel 31 against the bottom surface of the receiving groove 10.

[0052] S12. Three electromagnets 14, arranged from low to high on the bottom surface of the non-impacting end 3102, sequentially magnetize the non-impacting end 3102. Simultaneously, three air nozzles 15, arranged from high to low inside the striking end 3101, sequentially blow air into the striking end 3101 (this process increases the air pressure between the lower surface of the striking end 3101 and the upper surface of the arc-shaped plate 11, thereby driving the wall panel 31 to swing towards the location of the non-impacting end 3102), causing the wall panel 31 to swing in a gradient until the warped gap 110 closes (visible to the user). During this process, the sequential energization of the three electromagnets 14 can be controlled by the user via remote control; the operation of the three air pumps 151 can also be controlled by the user via remote control.

[0053] S13, the fastening component 5 fastens to the top edge of the non-impacting end 3102. During the process, the timing of the extension and retraction of the first linear drive can be controlled by the user via remote control.

[0054] When the wall panel 31 is hoisted and placed in the receiving groove 10, it may not be positioned in the exact center of the receiving groove 10, and may often be tilted to the left or right, for example, tilted towards the fastening assembly 5 (see reference). Figure 15 ), or deflected away from the fastening component 5 (refer to Figure 16 ).

[0055] Reference Figure 15 If the wall panel 31 is tilted towards the fastening assembly 5, after the wall panel 31 swings until the non-impacting end 3102 is in contact with the receiving groove 10, the top of the non-impacting end 3102 will protrude from the side of the receiving groove 10 (i.e., the height of the top of the non-impacting end 3102 is higher than the top of the receiving groove 10). During the process of the fastening assembly 5 fastening the non-impacting end 3102, the rotating arm 51 can press down on the non-impacting end 3102, causing the wall panel 31 to slide relative to the receiving groove 10 until the top of the non-impacting end 3102 is at the same height as the side edge of the receiving groove 10. That is, the fastening assembly 5 can overcome the problem of the wall panel 31 tilting towards the fastening assembly 5.

[0056] Reference Figure 16 If the wall panel 31 is tilted away from the fastening assembly 5, after the wall panel 31 swings until the non-impacting end 3102 is in contact with the receiving groove 10, the top of the non-impacting end 3102 will be lower than the side of the receiving groove 10. Therefore, even if the rotating arm 51 of the fastening assembly 5 rotates downwards, it will not be able to fasten the non-impacting end 3102. To avoid this problem, refer to... Figure 17The anti-slip strip 16 is located at the center of the bottom of the receiving groove 10, close to the direction of the fastening component 5. In step S11, after pressing the lower surface of the wall panel 31 against the bottom surface of the receiving groove 10 (at this time, the center of the bottom surface of the wall panel 31 is pressed against the center of the bottom of the receiving groove 10, and the bottom surface of the wall panel 31 does not contact the anti-slip strip 16), (remove the lifting cable 4 and the electromagnetic chuck 41) open the air nozzle 15 (close the electromagnet 14), and the wall panel 31 slides towards the direction of the fastening component 5 (relative to the receiving groove 10) until it presses against the anti-slip strip 16 and stops sliding; then, in step S12, the wall panel 31 is swung until the non-impact end 3102 is in contact with the receiving groove 10.

[0057] During step S11, after pressing the lower surface of the wall panel 31 against the bottom surface of the receiving groove 10, (remove the lifting cable 4 and the electromagnetic chuck 41) open the air nozzle 15 (close the electromagnet 14). The wall panel 31, which was originally tilted towards the direction of the fastening component 5 (because it has been pressed against the anti-slip strip 16), will not continue to slide (towards the direction of the fastening component 5). Only the wall panel 31, which was originally tilted away from the direction of the fastening component 5, will slide (towards the direction of the fastening component 5). That is, this solution only works for the wall panel 31 that is tilted away from the direction of the fastening component 5, so as to avoid the wall panel 31 from sliding excessively (if it slides excessively, the fastening component 5 will not be able to fasten the top edge of the non-striking end 3102).

[0058] Reference Figure 17 When the airflow from nozzle 15 is insufficient to slide the wall panel 31, the user can manually push the striking end 3101 of the wall panel 31 to assist the wall panel 31 in sliding along the receiving groove 10. The thrust F1 manually applied by the user to the striking end 3101 is directed diagonally downwards to balance the upward thrust of the airflow (from nozzle 15). Furthermore, this solution utilizes the combined force of human effort and the impact force of the airflow to drive the wall panel 31, reducing the need for manual labor and lowering the difficulty of operation.

[0059] The first linear actuator 53 is an electric actuator, a pneumatic actuator, a hydraulic actuator, or a combination thereof (e.g., an electro-hydraulic actuator).

[0060] The invention also includes an electrical cabinet, which is fixedly installed in the base support frame 12 by bolts; electromagnets a14a, b14b, c14c, air pumps a151a, b151b, c151c and the first linear driver 53 are respectively connected to the controller (e.g., computer or PLC programmable logic controller) (inside the electrical cabinet) via wires and signal lines; the controller is connected to the power supply of the peripheral device; the controller is electrically connected to the remote controller (e.g., via signal line or wireless signal).

[0061] All motors in the air pump 151 are controllable motors (such as servo motors or stepper motors). By inputting electrical signals to the controllable motors through the controller, the speed, number of rotations per cycle, angle of rotation per cycle, and start / stop timing of the controllable motors can be controlled.

[0062] The present invention has a simple structure and reliable function. The arc-shaped pad 21 of the buffer tool 2 can be set between the upper surface of the wall panel 31 and the hammer to disperse and transmit the hammering force to the wall panel 31. That is, it avoids the hammer directly hitting (i.e. hammering) the wall panel 31, increases the force-bearing area of ​​the wall panel 31, and thus avoids the problem of dense hammer marks on the surface of the wall panel 31 and reduced appearance quality.
