Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of building construction equipment, and in particular to a rapid installation device for aluminum formwork. Background Technology
[0002] Aluminum formwork is a type of construction formwork made of aluminum alloy. By pressing holes of specific sizes into the surface of the aluminum sheet, it not only resembles wooden formwork in appearance and size, but also incorporates internal reinforcing ribs and connectors to enhance its load-bearing capacity and stability. Compared to traditional wooden formwork, aluminum formwork has the following significant advantages:
[0003] ① Durability: Due to the use of high-strength aluminum alloy materials, aluminum formwork has excellent corrosion resistance and durability, and is not easily deformed or damaged.
[0004] ② Environmental friendliness: Aluminum formwork is 100% recyclable and reusable, generating no construction waste, which aligns with the development direction of green building and low-carbon environmental protection. Its production process also uses environmentally friendly materials and is harmless to the environment.
[0005] ③ Economic efficiency: Although the initial investment in aluminum formwork is higher than that of traditional wooden formwork, its long lifespan and reusability reduce the overall cost. In addition, the maintenance and upkeep of aluminum formwork are relatively simple, reducing later maintenance costs.
[0006] With the increasing demands for construction efficiency, cost control, and environmental protection in the construction industry, aluminum formwork, as a high-quality and high-performance building formwork, has been widely used in various construction projects.
[0007] Currently, aluminum formwork installation mainly relies on manual labor, which limits installation efficiency and accuracy. Due to worker physical limitations, the size and weight constraints of standard aluminum formwork increase the number of installation attempts, further reducing efficiency. Although some aluminum formwork installation equipment has emerged on the market, such as the aluminum formwork handling robot (announcement number CN209853285U), this equipment includes an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle), a rotating mechanism, a displacement mechanism, a gripping mechanism, a first camera, a second camera, and a control module. These components work together via electrical connections to achieve precise handling and installation of aluminum formwork.
[0008] However, in reality, aluminum formwork is usually stacked horizontally using pads before installation. If the aforementioned equipment is to change the aluminum formwork from a horizontal state to a vertical installation state, manual or other equipment assistance is still required, which greatly limits the installation efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0009] This invention aims to design a rapid installation device for aluminum formwork, with the core objective of reducing the frequency of aluminum formwork installation, significantly improving installation efficiency, reducing potential safety hazards, and further improving installation quality. This device is specifically designed to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background section.
[0010] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model first provides a rapid installation device for aluminum formwork, including a walking mechanism and a lifting mechanism provided on the walking mechanism. The key feature is that the lifting mechanism is provided with a flipping mechanism, and the flipping mechanism is provided with a clamping mechanism. The flipping mechanism includes a mounting plate and a flipping plate, and the included angle between the two is adjustable within the range of 0-90°, so that the aluminum formwork can be quickly flipped from a horizontal state to a vertical state through the clamping mechanism.
[0011] Furthermore, the mounting plate is provided with a motor and a bearing housing, the bearing housing supports a transmission shaft, the transmission shaft is connected to the output shaft of the motor through a worm gear assembly, and a swing arm assembly is also connected between the transmission shaft and the flip plate.
[0012] Furthermore, a limiting component is provided between the mounting plate and the flipping plate. The limiting component includes an arc-shaped limiting groove arranged along the flipping stroke of the flipping plate. A proximity switch is installed at the beginning and end of the arc-shaped limiting groove, and the proximity switch is connected to the control circuit of the motor and used to control the start and stop of the motor. A limiting shaft is also provided in the limiting groove corresponding to the proximity switch. The limiting shaft is installed on the rotation shaft of the flipping plate and can rotate with the rotation of the flipping plate.
[0013] Furthermore, a positive and negative threaded rod slide module is provided on the side of the flip plate away from the rocker arm assembly, and a clamping mechanism is respectively installed on the two opposing sliders of the positive and negative threaded rod slide module.
[0014] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism includes a piston cylinder arranged perpendicular to the flipping plate, a push plate is provided on the telescopic rod of the piston cylinder, at least two grippers are hinged to each other on the push plate, and a connecting rod is also hinged between the grippers and the cylinder body of the piston cylinder.
[0015] Furthermore, a rough gripping surface is provided at the end of the gripper.
[0016] Furthermore, a rotating mechanism is provided between the lifting mechanism and the flipping mechanism.
[0017] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism adopts a three-segment chain lifting structure.
[0018] Furthermore, the walking mechanism is an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle).
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the significant advantages of this utility model are:
[0020] (1) The flipping mechanism is ingeniously designed and can quickly flip the aluminum template from a horizontal state to a vertical state without the need for manual or additional equipment assistance, which greatly improves the installation efficiency.
[0021] (2) The configuration of the clamping mechanism ensures that the aluminum formwork is stably gripped during the installation process, effectively avoiding the risk of slippage during handling and installation, thereby ensuring construction safety.
[0022] (3) The precise application of the limiting components enables the aluminum template to reach a vertical installation state of 90° without error during the flipping process, which significantly improves the installation accuracy and quality.
[0023] (4) The use of advanced AGV trolleys as the walking mechanism realizes the fully automated movement of the equipment, greatly reduces the manpower input, and improves the flexibility and safety of the operation. At the same time, the ingenious design of the lifting mechanism allows the aluminum formwork to be quickly adjusted to the required height, further accelerating the installation process.
[0024] (5) The gripping surface at the end of the gripper is roughened, which significantly enhances the friction with the aluminum template, achieves a more stable gripping effect, and effectively reduces the installation error caused by sliding. Attached Figure Description

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

Furthermore, in the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0036] Figures 1 to 2 The first embodiment of the present invention is shown: a quick installation device for aluminum template 12, including a walking mechanism 1 and a lifting mechanism 2 provided on the walking mechanism 1, the lifting mechanism 2 is provided with a flipping mechanism 3, and the flipping mechanism 3 is provided with a clamping mechanism 4; wherein: the flipping mechanism 3 includes a mounting plate 301 and a flipping plate 302, the included angle between the two is adjustable in the range of 0-90°, so as to drive the aluminum template to quickly flip from a horizontal state to a vertical state through the clamping mechanism 4.
[0037] from Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As can be seen, the mounting plate 301 is equipped with a motor 5 and a bearing seat 6. The bearing seat 6 supports a transmission shaft 7. The transmission shaft 7 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 5 via a worm gear assembly. A rocker arm assembly 8 is also connected between the transmission shaft 7 and the tilting plate 302. The rocker arm assembly 8 includes a first rocker arm and a second rocker arm. One end of the first rocker arm is fixedly connected to the transmission shaft 7, and the other end is hinged to one end of the second rocker arm via a pin. The other end of the second rocker arm is hinged to the tilting plate 302. That is, the first rocker arm, the second rocker arm, the tilting plate 302, and the mounting plate 301 form a four-bar linkage. The motor 5 drives the transmission shaft 7 to rotate. After the worm gear assembly reduces the speed and increases the torque, the transmission shaft 7 drives the first rocker arm to swing. Then, the second rocker arm pulls the tilting plate 302 to rotate around its connection point with the mounting plate 301, thereby achieving angle adjustment within the range of 0-90°. This structural design allows the clamping mechanism 4 to smoothly clamp and flip the aluminum template from a horizontal position, facilitating rapid installation and significantly improving construction efficiency. Furthermore, the worm gear assembly is chosen not only because of its large transmission ratio, enabling effective force transmission, but also because of its self-locking characteristics. This ensures that the flipping plate 302 remains in its current position even when the motor 5 stops, enhancing the stability and safety of the equipment. Specifically, the worm gear assembly includes a worm wheel and a worm. The worm wheel is fixed to the drive shaft 7, and the worm is connected to the output shaft of the motor 5. When the motor starts, the worm drives the worm wheel to rotate, which in turn drives the drive shaft to rotate.
[0038] like Figure 3As shown, a limiting component is also provided between the mounting plate 301 and the flipping plate 302. The limiting component includes an arc-shaped limiting groove 901 arranged along the flipping stroke of the flipping plate 302. Proximity switches 902 are installed at both ends of the arc-shaped limiting groove 901. The proximity switches 902 are connected to the control circuit of the motor 5 and are used to control the start and stop of the motor 5. A limiting shaft 903 is also provided in the limiting groove corresponding to the proximity switches 902. The limiting shaft 903 is installed on the rotation axis of the flipping plate 302 and can rotate with the flipping plate 302. The arc-shaped limiting groove 901 is based on a precise simulation and optimization of the flipping motion of the flipping plate 302. The arc-shaped limiting groove 901 is cleverly laid along the movement trajectory of the flipping plate 302, ensuring the stability of the flipping while limiting its range of motion, preventing damage that may be caused by excessive flipping. Specifically, the end of the limiting shaft 903 is bent and slidably constrained in the arc-shaped limiting groove 901. When the proximity switch 902 senses the limiting shaft 903, it immediately sends a signal to the control circuit of the motor 5, causing the motor 5 to stop working. This precisely controls the flipping angle of the flipping plate 302, ensuring that the aluminum template can accurately reach the predetermined vertical installation state. This limiting method not only improves installation accuracy but also effectively avoids equipment damage or safety hazards caused by excessive flipping. In some embodiments, to meet the needs of specific scenarios, proximity switches 902 can be added at other positions of the arc-shaped limiting groove 901 to further refine the flipping angle of the flipping plate 302, achieving more precise operation control. This design allows the equipment to adapt to more diverse installation needs, improving its flexibility and practicality.
[0039] Reference Figure 4 As shown, a forward and reverse threaded rod slide module 10 is provided on the side of the flip plate 302 away from the rocker arm assembly 8. A clamping mechanism 4 is respectively installed on the two opposing sliders of the forward and reverse threaded rod slide module 10. The clamping mechanisms 4 are all made of high-strength alloy material to ensure their stability and durability when performing clamping tasks.
[0040] from Figure 5As can be seen, the clamping mechanism 4 includes a piston cylinder 401 arranged perpendicular to the flipping plate 302. A push plate 404 is provided on the telescopic rod of the piston cylinder 401, and at least two grippers 403 are hinged to the push plate 404. A connecting rod 402 is also hinged between the grippers 403 and the cylinder body of the piston cylinder 401. A rough gripping surface is provided at the end of the grippers 403. A rotating mechanism 11 is also provided between the lifting mechanism and the flipping mechanism 3. The rotating mechanism 11 allows the aluminum template 12 to be installed vertically along its width or length. The rotating mechanism 11 includes a rotating drive device and a rotating platform. The rotating drive device is fixedly connected to the lifting mechanism 2, and the rotating platform is connected to the flipping mechanism 3. The rotating platform is driven by the rotating drive device to rotate the flipping mechanism 3, thereby adjusting the installation direction of the aluminum template 12. This design makes the equipment more flexible in installing aluminum templates and adaptable to different installation needs.
[0041] from Figure 1-3 and Figures 5-7 The lifting mechanism 2 adopts a three-segment chain lifting structure; the traveling mechanism 1 is an AGV trolley. The three-segment chain lifting structure design makes the lifting process smoother and allows for rapid response to height adjustment needs. This structure consists of three chains, each evenly distributed on both sides and in the center of the lifting mechanism, achieving smooth lifting of the platform through synchronous drive. This design not only improves the stability and load-bearing capacity of the lifting, but also effectively reduces swaying during the lifting process, further ensuring the safety of the aluminum formwork during installation. Simultaneously, the three-segment chain lifting structure allows for a wider lifting range, meeting installation requirements at different heights and enhancing the applicability and flexibility of the equipment. The AGV trolley, as the traveling mechanism, enables fully automated movement of the equipment. The AGV trolley has autonomous navigation, precise positioning, and obstacle avoidance functions, and can automatically travel to the designated location according to a preset route. By integrating advanced control systems and sensor technology, the AGV trolley can perceive the surrounding environment in real time and make corresponding adjustments, ensuring stable and safe operation even in complex and changing construction sites. This not only significantly reduces manpower input but also improves the flexibility and efficiency of operations, making the rapid installation equipment for aluminum formwork more intelligent and automated.
[0042] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:
[0043] When the equipment is first started, the traveling mechanism 1 moves to the designated stacking position of the aluminum template 12 according to the preset path or instruction. The lifting mechanism 2 then starts, driving the entire flipping mechanism 3 and clamping mechanism 4 to rise smoothly until the preset height is reached. The piston cylinder 401 then starts working, and its telescopic rod pushes the push plate 404 backward. Through the transmission action of the connecting rod 402, the gripper 403 gradually closes, tightly clamping the back rib 13 of the aluminum template 12. Next, the traveling mechanism 1 that clamps the aluminum template 12 moves to the installation position of the aluminum template 12. Then, the motor 5 drives the worm gear assembly, and through the cooperation of the transmission shaft 7 and the swing arm assembly 8, the flipping plate 302 begins to slowly flip from the initial position. During the flipping process, the limiting shaft 903 moves along the trajectory within the arc-shaped limiting groove 901, ensuring precise control of the flipping action. When the limiting shaft 903 touches the proximity switch 902 at the beginning or end of the arc-shaped limiting groove 901, the proximity switch 902 immediately sends a signal to the motor 5 control circuit, triggering the motor 5 to stop working, thereby achieving precise positioning of the flipping plate 302 at a specified angle. If it is necessary to adjust the installation direction of the aluminum template, it can be achieved by operating the rotating mechanism 11. The rotating mechanism 11 can flexibly adjust the overall direction of the flipping mechanism 3 and the clamping mechanism 4 to meet the needs of vertical installation of the aluminum template 12 in different directions. After the aluminum template 12 is successfully clamped and adjusted to the required posture, the lifting mechanism 2 starts again, driving the entire load to descend smoothly until the aluminum template 12 is accurately placed in the designated position. At this point, the entire rapid installation process of the aluminum template 12 is successfully completed.
[0044] This embodiment, through the ingenious combination of a flipping mechanism, a clamping mechanism, a limiting component, and a traveling and lifting mechanism, not only significantly improves the installation efficiency and accuracy of aluminum formwork but also effectively reduces safety hazards during installation, providing an efficient and reliable solution for modern construction. Furthermore, the equipment's fully automated operation and flexible adjustment capabilities greatly reduce the labor intensity of workers and improve the overall efficiency of construction. With continuous technological advancements and deeper applications, this invention is expected to play a greater role in the construction industry, promoting innovation and development in construction technology.
[0045] In summary, the ingeniously designed flipping mechanism can quickly flip the aluminum formwork from a horizontal to a vertical position without the need for manual labor or additional equipment, greatly improving installation efficiency. The clamping mechanism ensures stable gripping of the aluminum formwork during installation, effectively avoiding the risk of slippage during handling and installation, thus guaranteeing construction safety. The precise application of the limiting components ensures that the aluminum formwork accurately reaches a 90° vertical installation position during flipping, significantly improving installation accuracy and quality. The use of an advanced AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) as the traveling mechanism enables fully automated movement of the equipment, significantly reducing manpower and improving operational flexibility and safety. Simultaneously, the clever design of the lifting mechanism allows the aluminum formwork to be quickly adjusted to the required height, further accelerating the installation process. The roughened gripping surfaces at the ends of the grippers significantly enhance friction with the aluminum formwork, achieving a more stable grip and effectively reducing installation errors caused by slippage.
