REBAR TYING ROBOT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18576330 titled 'REBAR TYING ROBOT
The abstract describes a rebar tying robot that can move over primary and secondary rebars and tie them together at intersecting points. The robot includes a control unit, longitudinal and lateral movement mechanisms, and a positional information detection mechanism.
- The rebar tying robot performs alternating operations of moving over primary and secondary rebars and tying them together at intersecting points.
- It includes a control unit, longitudinal movement mechanism, lateral movement mechanism, and positional information detection mechanism.
- The control unit can execute a return process to move the robot to a specific position without performing the rebar tying operation.
Potential Applications: - Construction industry for reinforcing structures with rebars. - Industrial automation for repetitive rebar tying tasks.
Problems Solved: - Reduces manual labor in rebar tying operations. - Increases efficiency and accuracy in tying rebars together.
Benefits: - Saves time and labor costs. - Improves the quality and consistency of rebar tying. - Enhances overall productivity in construction projects.
Commercial Applications: Title: Automated Rebar Tying Robot for Construction Industry This technology can be used in construction projects to streamline rebar tying processes, leading to faster completion times and cost savings. It can also be marketed to companies specializing in industrial automation solutions.
Prior Art: Further research can be conducted in the field of robotic automation in construction to explore similar technologies and advancements.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in robotic automation for construction applications to incorporate the latest innovations in rebar tying technology.
Questions about Rebar Tying Robot: 1. How does the rebar tying robot detect the current position of the rebars? 2. What are the specific benefits of using a rebar tying robot in construction projects?
Original Abstract Submitted
A rebar tying robot disclosed herein may be configured to perform a rebar tying operation in which the rebar tying robot performs alternately and repeatedly an operation of moving over a primary rebar and a secondary rebar and an operation of tying the primary rebar and the plurality of secondary rebar together at points where the primary rebar and the plurality of secondary rebar intersect. The rebar tying robot may include a control unit, a longitudinal movement mechanism, a lateral movement mechanism, and a positional information detection mechanism configured to detect a current position of the rebar tying robot. The control unit may be configured to execute a return process in which the control unit control the rebar tying robot to move from the current position of the rebar tying robot to a specific position without performing the rebar tying operation.
