Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In the existing floor construction process, operations such as steel bar erection, formwork erection, and concrete pouring still require manual labor, with leveling robots only replacing a small part of human operations, necessitating the development of a building construction robot to enhance efficiency and quality.
Innovation Solution
A building construction robot is designed with a vehicle body equipped with a feeding assembly for concrete distribution, a vibrating assembly for uniform concrete vibration, a leveling assembly for troweling and leveling, a measuring part for real-time flatness measurement, and a moving part for controlled movement along specified paths, enabling simultaneous concrete pouring, vibrating, and trowelling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual operations are used for steel bar erection, formwork erection, and concrete pouring, then flexibility and adaptability are maintained, but construction efficiency and labor intensity remain low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple construction functions (concrete pouring, vibrating, and leveling) into a single integrated robot system. The vehicle body carries both the feeding assembly for concrete dispensing and the vibrating/leveling assemblies for concrete processing, eliminating the need for separate manual operations and multiple equipment deployments.
Solution Approach 2:
The construction robot is designed as a multi-functional platform that can perform diverse construction tasks. The vehicle body serves as a mobile base that supports concrete delivery, vibration, and leveling operations, making a single device capable of replacing multiple specialized tools and manual labor forces.
2Extent of automation
If leveling robots are used alone, then some leveling tasks are automated, but most construction operations still require manual labor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the concrete delivery function with the vibrating and leveling functions in one integrated system. The feeding assembly dispenses concrete while the vibrating assembly and leveling assembly process it simultaneously, creating a unified automated construction platform that handles the entire concrete placement workflow.
Solution Approach 2:
The vehicle body acts as an intermediary platform that coordinates multiple functions. It carries the feeding assembly, vibrating assembly, and leveling assembly, serving as a mobile base that integrates these subsystems and enables their coordinated operation throughout the construction process.
3Loss of time
If separate operations are performed for concrete pouring, vibrating, and leveling, then each operation can be optimized independently, but construction time and process coordination become inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables continuous construction operations by integrating concrete pouring, vibrating, and leveling in a single mobile system. As the vehicle body moves forward, all three functions operate simultaneously and continuously without interruption, eliminating the downtime and transitions required when using separate operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple construction functions (concrete pouring, vibrating, and leveling) into a single integrated robot system. The vehicle body carries both the feeding assembly for concrete dispensing and the vibrating/leveling assemblies for concrete processing, eliminating the need for separate manual operations and multiple equipment deployments.
