Abstract
Description
A BIM-based tracking device for the renovation of a chemical plant Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of digital engineering technology, and in particular to a BIM-based tracking device for the renovation of a chemical plant. Background Technology
[0002] BIM (Building Information Modeling) is an engineering data model based on three-dimensional digital technology that integrates various relevant information of a building project. It not only digitally represents the geometric information and physical characteristics of the project, but also includes all information from planning, design, construction to operation and maintenance.
[0003] In the chemical industry, chemical plant renovation refers to engineering activities that systematically upgrade and optimize existing chemical production facilities, processes, and supporting facilities. The aim is to improve production efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and enhance safety and environmental protection levels to adapt to industry technological advancements, policy and regulatory requirements, and market demand changes. Such renovations typically include equipment upgrades, process innovations, capacity replacement, intelligent transformation, and environmental facility upgrades. Examples include the adoption of new catalysts, high-efficiency energy-saving devices (such as pure oxygen continuous gasification furnaces), and wastewater and waste gas treatment technologies (such as iron-carbon micro-electrolysis + coagulation sedimentation, and UASB anaerobic reactors).
[0004] During the renovation of chemical plants, accurate information tracking of the renovated components is crucial. This helps to accurately grasp the detailed information of the renovated chemical components, ensuring the smooth progress of the renovation project and efficient operation and maintenance in the later stages.
[0005] In the prior art, tracking devices combining prefabricated components and QR code tags have emerged to monitor the production, transportation, and installation status of prefabricated components. For example, Chinese patent application number CN201820754077.1 discloses a BIM-based prefabricated building tracking device, which includes: prefabricated components, QR code tags, and real-time sensors. The QR code tags and the real-time sensors are fixed on the prefabricated components, and the QR code tags store transportation information.
[0006] In existing technologies, by reading QR code label information through terminal devices, it is possible to obtain data on the production status (such as production progress and quality inspection results), transportation status (such as transportation route and storage location) and installation status (such as installation location and installation quality) of prefabricated components.
[0007] As mentioned earlier, in the existing technology, information is collected by scanning QR codes. However, if the QR code is damaged or the on-site network connection is poor, the information of the component cannot be viewed. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a BIM-based chemical plant renovation tracking device, which provides a card slot for storing memory cards. When the existing QR code is damaged or the network is not working, the memory card can be removed for emergency reading.
[0009] This utility model is implemented as follows:
[0010] This utility model provides a BIM-based tracking device for the renovation of a chemical plant, which is fixed on a chemical pipeline. The tracking device includes a clamp, a mounting assembly, an extension rod, a memory card, and a mounting box.
[0011] The clamp is fixed to the outer wall of the chemical pipeline, the mounting assembly is fixedly connected to the clamp, one end of the extension rod is universally connected to the mounting assembly, and the other end is universally connected to the mounting box.
[0012] The installation box has a hidden slot for storing memory cards, and the memory cards are placed in the hidden slot. The installation box also has a QR code sticker with a QR code printed on it.
[0013] Furthermore, the mounting assembly includes a mounting base, an externally threaded ball joint, and an internally threaded cap;
[0014] The mounting base is connected to the clamp, one end of the external thread ball cup is fixedly connected to the mounting base, and the other end has a first spherical groove. Both ends of the extension rod are respectively provided with spherical parts. When the internal thread cover is screwed on the outside of the external thread ball cup, one of the spherical parts is installed in the first spherical groove.
[0015] The mounting box has an elastic ball bowl on the side opposite to the QR code sticker. The elastic ball bowl has a second spherical groove that matches the spherical part. The side wall of the second spherical groove has several elastic pieces. The spherical part at the other end of the extension rod is installed in the second spherical groove through the elastic pieces.
[0016] Furthermore, the mounting box is also equipped with a transparent plate made of transparent material, which is attached to the outside of the QR code sticker.
[0017] The advantages of this utility model are:
[0018] 1. By using a dual storage method of QR code stickers and memory cards, the system enables scanning and reading of codes when connected to the network, as well as emergency reading when the network is down or the QR code is damaged, ensuring the continuity and reliability of BIM information acquisition for prefabricated components.
[0019] 2. This device is fixed to the pipeline by clamps, which can be adapted to various tubular components, making installation and disassembly convenient; in addition, the extension rods are detachably connected to the mounting components and elastic ball cups, allowing for independent replacement of the extension rods or mounting boxes, reducing maintenance costs and adapting to different scenario requirements.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4. This utility model provides a BIM-based tracking device for chemical plant renovation, fixed to a chemical pipeline. The tracking device includes a clamp 1, an installation assembly, an extension rod 2, a memory card 3, and an installation box 4. The memory card 3 stores current prefabricated component production status data (such as production progress and quality inspection results), transportation status data (such as transportation route and storage environment), and installation status data (such as installation location and installation quality inspection results). The clamp 1, also known as a hose clamp or pipe clamp, is existing technology. The clamp 1 consists of a ring-shaped steel strip and a worm gear assembly. The ring-shaped steel strip is wound around the chemical pipeline, and the installation assembly is connected to the worm gear assembly.
[0028] The clamp 1 is fixed to the outer wall of the chemical pipeline, the mounting assembly is fixedly connected to the clamp 1, one end of the extension rod 2 is universally connected to the mounting assembly, and the other end is universally connected to the mounting box 4.
[0029] The installation box 4 has a hidden slot 41 for storing the memory card 3. The memory card 3 is placed in the hidden slot 41. A QR code sticker 5 with a QR code printed on it is also attached to the installation box 4. The BIM platform stores prefabricated component production status data, transportation status data, and installation status data that are consistent with the data in the memory card 3. When the terminal device is connected to the network normally and the QR code sticker 5 is not damaged, the operator uses the terminal device to scan the QR code to obtain the data stored in the QR code sticker 5 from the BIM platform. If the network is disconnected or the QR code sticker 5 is damaged, the QR code sticker 5 can be removed, the memory card 3 placed in the hidden slot 41 can be taken out, the memory card 3 can be connected to the card reader, and the card reader can be connected to the terminal device to achieve emergency reading.
[0030] Specifically, the mounting assembly includes a mounting base 6, an externally threaded ball cup 7, and an internally threaded cap 8;
[0031] The mounting base 6 is connected to the clamp 1. One end of the external thread ball cup 7 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 6, and the other end has a first spherical groove 71. Both ends of the extension rod 2 are respectively provided with spherical parts 21. When the internal thread cover 8 is screwed on the outside of the external thread ball cup 7, one of the spherical parts 21 is installed in the first spherical groove 71 to achieve the purpose of universal connection between the extension rod 2 and the mounting assembly.
[0032] The mounting box 4 is provided with an elastic ball bowl 9 on the side opposite to the QR code sticker 5. The elastic ball bowl 9 is provided with a second spherical groove 91 that matches the spherical part 21. The side wall of the second spherical groove 91 is provided with a plurality of elastic pieces 92. The plurality of elastic pieces 92 are arranged in a circular array on the outside of the second spherical groove 91. The spherical part 21 at the other end of the extension rod 2 is installed in the second spherical groove 91 through the elastic pieces 92, so as to achieve the purpose of universal connection between the mounting box 4 and the extension rod 2.
[0033] In chemical plants, there are many complex pipeline layouts, with pipelines intersecting horizontally and vertically, and even overlapping in multiple layers. If the QR code stickers 5 are simply attached to the pipelines, it becomes inconvenient for operators to locate the corresponding pipeline for scanning. Furthermore, replacing damaged QR code stickers 5 is also difficult. In this application, by incorporating a clamp 1, an extension rod 2, and a mounting box 4, the QR code stickers 5 can be positioned as close as possible to the operator, facilitating scanning and replacement. Moreover, the omnidirectional rotatable design of the extension rod 2 and the mounting components, as well as the mounting box 4 and the extension rod 2, allows for easy adjustment of the QR code sticker position. Especially in complex pipeline layouts, this design separates the QR code stickers 5 corresponding to each pipeline, making it easier for operators to locate and replace them.
[0034] Specifically, the mounting box 4 also has a transparent panel 10 made of transparent material, which is attached to the outside of the QR code sticker 5.
[0035] The advantages of this invention are as follows: Through the dual storage method of the QR code sticker 5 and the memory card 3, it enables scanning and reading under network conditions and emergency reading functions in case of network outage or QR code damage, ensuring the continuity and reliability of BIM information acquisition for prefabricated components. This device is fixed to the pipe by a clamp 1, which can adapt to various tubular components, making installation and disassembly convenient. Furthermore, the extension rod 2 is detachably connected to the installation component and the elastic ball cup 9, allowing for independent replacement of the extension rod 2 or the installation box 4, reducing maintenance costs and adapting to different scenario requirements.
