Stabilized Nozzle Positioning for Multi-Story Material Deposition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional construction techniques struggle to form structures with multiple stories or complex dimensions due to environmental factors like wind and temperature, leading to structural imperfections and the need for costly corrections.
Innovation Solution
A material deposition device with a stabilization platform and sensors, operating in a frame of reference independent of the base delivery system, adjusts the nozzle position to deposit materials accurately, compensating for environmental displacements and ensuring precise construction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If conventional construction techniques are used to form structures, then materials can be deposited to create basic single-story structures, but environmental factors (wind, temperature, atmospheric conditions) cause displacement of material placement leading to structural imperfections
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors the actual position of the material deposition device using sensors and compares it with the target position. When environmental factors cause displacement, the system receives feedback about the deviation and automatically adjusts the device position to compensate, ensuring precise material placement despite wind, temperature, or humidity variations
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces conventional mechanical positioning systems with an automated control system that uses sensors to detect position deviations caused by environmental factors and actuators to correct these deviations in real-time, substituting manual or simple mechanical adjustment with intelligent automated control
2Length of stationary object
If conventional techniques are used for multi-story structures, then basic vertical construction is possible, but environmental forces cause cumulative displacement errors requiring costly corrections and repairs
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary positioning adjustments before material deposition occurs. Sensors detect the actual position of the deposition device and predict potential deviations due to environmental factors, making corrective adjustments in advance to ensure the material is placed exactly where intended, preventing cumulative errors in multi-story construction
Solution Approach 2:
The control system continuously monitors deposition accuracy throughout the construction process and provides real-time feedback to adjust positioning, preventing cumulative displacement errors from building up across multiple stories and ensuring consistent structural conformity
3Manufacturing precision
If a stabilization platform with sensors and automated adjustment is implemented, then material deposition precision is maintained despite environmental disturbances, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The stabilization platform acts as an intermediary between the material deposition device and the environment. It includes sensors that detect environmental disturbances and actuators that compensate for these disturbances, serving as a buffer that isolates the deposition process from environmental complexity while maintaining simplicity in the core deposition function

AI summary
Various embodiments relate generally to manufacturing construction techniques to form structures with embodiments including computer software and systems, and control systems, and, more specifically, to a computing and a mechanical platform configured to receive a material with which to form a structure of programmable dimensions and deposit the material at a stabilization platform operating at a frame of reference independent (or nearly independent) relative to a base delivery system, whereby data representing the frame of reference is based on sensor data identifying a position and spatial alignment with a targeted point of deposition of the material.
