Development And Performance Test Of Tile Laying Robo

Due to the decline of the demographic dividend and the swift advancement of Artificial intelligence technology,there is a growing inclination within the construction sector to substitute human labor with robots for arduous tasks.For example,tile laying work is characterized by heavy tasks,requiring multiple people to collaborate,and low wages.As a result,there is a high turnover rate among workers,and there is an urgent need for an automated device that can reduce labor intensity and ensure construction quality to address the labor shortage problem.Therefore,to address the high labor and time costs associated with tile laying work,this article will develop a fully functional tile laying robot based on the actual needs of the construction industry.The robot will minimize worker labor intensity while ensuring safety,and provide a reference for the development of tile laying robots in the construction industry.The main research content of this article is as follows:Firstly,Through an examination of the technical metrics and operational necessities of the automated ceramic tile laying system,a comprehensive blueprint for the robot was formulated.The key mechanical functional structures,including the frame,ground combing device,tile back combing device,ceramic tile clamping and flipping device,and power-assisted cantilever device,were designed.Furthermore,selection calculations and lifespan verification were carried out for key components,motors,synchronous belt wheels,and other devices in each assembly.Next,based on a comprehensive understanding of the working process of the ceramic tile laying robot,static analysis was conducted on the key components subjected to heavy loads.During the tile installation process,the frame underwent vibration analysis to obtain essential modal characteristics,which were subsequently validated in collaboration with the excitation source.Additionally,fluid simulation was performed on the squeezing process of the tile adhesive during the operation,analyzing the variation of the outlet flow rate of each tooth shape under different pressures.Furthermore,Following the requirements of the tile laying robot,the overall design of the control system and hardware selection have been completed.Based on the operation process of the functional components,trapezoidal diagrams of the motion process of each functional component have been drawn.A user interface for human-robot interaction has been devised,utilizing a digital touchscreen as the primary means of communication,and the corresponding PLC program has been written to achieve intelligent status display and functional control of the tile laying robot during its operation.Finally,Based on the completed mechanical and control system design of the tile laying robot,a prototype of the equipment was built.The prototype was then used as a test object to conduct experiments on the main functions of the tile laying robot,including tile clamping and flipping,tile and ground combing,and tile laying.The experimental results showed that the tile laying robot has stable tile laying quality,smooth and reliable operation efficiency,and can significantly reduce the labor intensity of workers during the tile laying process.The creation of the automated ceramic tile laying system discussed in this paper can considerably enhance the stability of the tile installation process,diminish labor and time expenditures,and serve as a theoretical foundation and point of reference for the development of similar automation technology within the construction industry.
