Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for integrating construction machinery with structure data models, such as BIM, do not effectively enhance the control and operation of cranes and excavators, limiting their efficiency and security.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for automatically selecting a suitable construction machine by comparing machine data models with structure data models, using a machine selection module, data selection module, and comparison module to identify and match relevant information, thereby improving the integration and control of construction machinery with structure data models.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If construction machinery is manually integrated with structure data models, then operator flexibility is maintained, but control efficiency and security are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical integration processes with automated computer-based systems. The control device automatically retrieves structure data from BIM models, processes it, and generates control parameters without manual intervention, substituting the mechanical/manual integration process with an automated information processing system.
Solution Approach 2:
The control device performs self-service by autonomously extracting relevant structure data, processing it through evaluation rules, and generating control commands without requiring external manual intervention. The system serves itself by automatically adapting to different construction scenarios based on the retrieved structure data.
2Ease of operation
If automated machine selection is implemented by comparing machine data models with structure data models, then machine operation is optimized, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the complex selection process into distinct functional modules: a data retrieval unit that extracts structure data, a data processing unit that evaluates the data against machine models, and a control generation unit that produces optimized commands. This segmentation makes the complex automated selection process more manageable and implementable.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary data processing layer that mediates between the structure data model and the machine control system. This intermediary layer processes and translates structure data into control-relevant parameters, simplifying the integration between different systems.
3Measurement precision
If structure data is automatically retrieved and processed, then control accuracy is improved, but data processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-defining evaluation rules and criteria for data processing. The system is pre-configured with the logic needed to evaluate structure data, so during operation, it can quickly retrieve and process data without needing to create evaluation logic in real-time, reducing processing time while maintaining accuracy.
Data Source
AI summary
A method and a device for planning and/or controlling and/or simulating the operation of a construction machine, in particular in the form of a crane, using a structure data model which contains digital information on a structure to be erected and/or to be worked on. A construction machine which can be linked to such a structure data model and/or can be controlled using such a structure data model. A construction machine data model which contains digital information on different construction machine models is linked to the structure data model or the BIM, characteristics of the available construction machines are already taken into consideration during the planning process, a simulator for training construction machine tasks is configured using the structure data model, and the controller of the construction machine is adapted to the structure data model with respect to specific control functions.
