Description

Automated fire-resistant panel installation robot and fire-resistant panel installation method using the same

[0001] The present invention relates to an automatic fire-resistant panel installation robot and a method for installing fire-resistant panels using the same, and more particularly, to an automatic fire-resistant panel installation robot that automatically installs fire-resistant panels to protect concrete in the event of a fire inside a tunnel, and a method for installing fire-resistant panels in a tunnel using the same.

[0002] Referring to the background technology described in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2024-0040328 (published on March 28, 2024), technologies are being developed to utilize tunnel space for the purpose of increasing logistics transport volume, domestic travel, shortening inter-regional travel distances, and overcoming topographical limitations. In recent years, the construction of concrete structures such as deep, long tunnels and double-deck tunnels has been greatly expanded, and the length of tunnels is also increasing.

[0003] In general, tunnels are formed as closed spaces except for the entrance and exit, but there is a problem that the concrete forming the tunnel can crack and reduce strength due to internal stress caused by differences in expansion coefficients between constituent materials such as aggregate and cement paste at high temperatures in the event of a fire, which can lead to tunnel collapse and large-scale casualties.

[0004] Therefore, in order to delay the occurrence of a fire as described above and prevent the spread of flames, the inner side of the tunnel is finished with fire-resistant boards, so that even if a fire breaks out inside the tunnel, the spread is prevented or delayed as much as possible.

[0005] In the past, when installing a fireproof board on the inner side of a tunnel, a table lift that moves the fireproof board to the ceiling of the tunnel was equipped with a separate small lift, and then the fireproof board was pressed against the ceiling of the tunnel using the small lift. After forming a number of drilling holes in the fireproof board and the ceiling for the worker to install anchors, the fireproof board was installed on the ceiling of the tunnel by installing anchors in the drilling holes. After installing one fireproof board on the ceiling of the tunnel, the table lift was moved downward, the fireproof board was mounted, and then moved to the ceiling of the tunnel. By repeating the above process to install the fireproof board, multiple fireproof boards were installed on the ceiling of the tunnel. However, there were problems such as the worker having to perform a number of drilling and anchoring operations using equipment such as a drill, which took a long time to install the fireproof board, the worker performing the drilling and anchoring operations, which caused safety accidents, and the work quality varying depending on the worker's ability.
