Abstract
A lifting cart for assist in building construction processes using precast wall panels can include a panel handling mechanism coupled to a movable vehicle. The panel handling mechanism can include a clamping mechanism, a rotational mechanism, a linear mechanism, and a tilting mechanism. The movable vehicle can include two sets of wheels configured to move the vehicle in perpendicular directions. The lifting cart can handle the precast wall panels, from a wall panel package delivered to the construction site to the final location of the wall panels between beams of the building frame.
Claims20
A system comprising a panel handling mechanism coupled to a movable vehicle,
- wherein the panel handling mechanism comprises a clamping mechanism for clamping on the panel,
- wherein the panel handling mechanism comprises a rotational mechanism for rotating the panel in a first direction perpendicular to a plane of the panel,
- wherein the panel handling mechanism comprises a linear mechanism for moving the panel in a second direction parallel to a plane of the panel.
A system comprising a panel handling mechanism coupled to a movable vehicle,
- wherein the movable vehicle comprises a first set of wheels configured to move in a first straight direction,
- wherein the movable vehicle comprises a second set of wheels configured to move in a second straight direction, wherein the second straight direction is perpendicular to the first straight direction,
- wherein the movable vehicle comprises an activation mechanism to switch moving the vehicle between using the first set of wheels and using the second set of wheels.
A system comprising
- a body;
- a plate handling assembly coupled to the body,
- wherein the plate handling assembly comprises a clamping mechanism,
- wherein the clamping mechanism is configured to clamp on a plate,
- wherein the plate handling assembly comprises a rotating mechanism,
- wherein the rotating mechanism is configured to rotate the clamping mechanism in a first direction perpendicular to a plane of the plate,
- wherein the plate handling assembly comprises a linear movement mechanism,
- wherein the linear movement mechanism is configured to move the clamping mechanism and the rotating mechanism in a linear direction,
- wherein the plate handling assembly comprises a tilting mechanism,
- wherein the tilting mechanism is configured to rotate the clamping mechanism, the rotating mechanism, and the linear movement mechanism in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction;
- a first set of wheels coupled to the body,
- wherein the first set of wheels is configured to move the body in horizontal directions,
- wherein the first set of wheels comprises two parallel straight wheels facing a first horizontal direction;
- a second set of wheels coupled to the body,
- wherein the second set of wheels comprises at least two straight wheels facing a second horizontal direction perpendicular to the first horizontal direction;
- an activation mechanism coupled to the body,
- wherein the activation mechanism is configured to switch moving operations of the body between the two parallel straight wheels of the first set of wheels and the at least two straight wheels of the second set of wheels.
