It needs to directly bear various loads from the upper structure and stably transmit these loads to the foundation, which is the root of ensuring the stability of the whole structure. During the construction process of the pier column, its perpendicularity becomes the core key index for measuring the construction quality and structural performance. The advantages and disadvantages of this index are closely related to the safety, durability and service life of the structure.

However, this traditional operation method has many disadvantages. On the one hand, the whole measurement and adjustment process is very tedious, which requires a lot of manpower and time cost, greatly reducing the construction efficiency. On the other hand, due to the many manual operation links, it is easy to be disturbed by human factors, which leads to the generation of operation errors.

[0022] IMU sensor 3 installs on pier formwork 1, for real-time monitoring the three-axis inclination angle of pier formwork 1.IMU sensor 3 can use bolt or shockproof glue firmly fixed in the top central position or side central position of pier formwork 1, ensure that the XYZ axis direction of IMU sensor 3 is consistent with the geometric center of pier formwork 1.IMU sensor 3 is connected with central control unit 4 through I2C interface, and inclination data is transmitted to central control unit 4.
[0023] The servo motor cylinder 2 is provided with a plurality of servo motor cylinders 2 arranged in multiple directions of the pier formwork 1 for supporting the lifting of the pier formwork 1. In this embodiment, the number of servo motor cylinders 2 is three, and the three servo motor cylinders 2 are arranged at an interval of 120° around the axis of the pier formwork 1, and are uniformly distributed in three different directions. The supporting surface of the servo motor cylinder 2 is in close contact with the bottom of the pier formwork, which ensures that it can work stably under stress and ensures that the installation height of each servo motor cylinder 2 is consistent to facilitate subsequent leveling operation. The connection between the servo motor cylinder 2 and the pier formwork 1 is provided with an adjustable angle joint structure for compensating the influence of the leveling effect when the servo motor cylinder 2 is not installed vertically. The servo motor cylinder 2 includes an encoder for real-time monitoring of the linear displacement of the servo motor cylinder 2 and transmitting feedback signals to the servo driver and the central control unit.
[0024] A force sensor is installed at the bottom of each servo motor cylinder 2 for real-time detection of the stress of each servo motor cylinder 2, and force feedback data is transmitted to the central control unit 4 through CAN bus or analog signal.
[0025] The central control unit 4 is connected with the IMU sensor 3 and the force sensor, for receiving the inclination angle data from the IMU sensor 3 and the force feedback data from the force sensor, and calculating the adjustment amount of the servo motor cylinder 2. The central control unit 4 is a Raspberry Pi development board or other controller, and the central control unit 4 calculates the adjustment stroke of each servo motor cylinder 2 based on the feedback data of the IMU sensor 3 and the force sensor, and generates a control signal to send to the servo driver.

It can also execute an inclination compensation algorithm to compensate for the inclination angle of the servo motor cylinder 2, to ensure that the out-of-cylinder stroke meets the expected adjustment amount when the servo motor cylinder 2 is not installed vertically.

According to the data of the IMU and the force sensor, combined with the set vertical standard, the central control unit calculates the adjustment amount of each servo electric cylinder, converts the calculated adjustment amount into a control signal, and drives the servo electric cylinder to push up or down through the servo driver. During the process, the force sensor and the IMU sensor feedback the adjustment effect in real time, and ensure that the angle and height of the pier formwork gradually reach the predetermined target. If the pier formwork is not completely vertical after adjustment, the central control unit will continue to adjust according to the data of the IMU sensor and the force sensor until the pier formwork reaches the set vertical standard. The system continuously feeds back data and adjusts, forms a closed loop control, and ensures that the pier formwork remains accurate and vertical during the construction process.
