This technology is an excavator-based construction panel installation device. A main frame is detachably mounted to the excavator's arm and push link, while a movable frame, equipped with vacuum suction cups to hold construction panels, is moved in multiple directions relative to the main frame via multi-directional motion components to align the panel's position and orientation. The excavator's cylinders and the attachment can be remotely operated via a remote control terminal and a wireless communication module inside the excavator.
In curtain wall construction, where exterior walls are composed of glass or metal panels, existing methods using suction attachments on excavators require moving the entire excavator to adjust panel position and orientation, making precise control difficult and time-consuming. Even methods adding a roll rotation device are limited to adjusting only the rolling direction and require manual handle operation, leading to high labor costs and long work times.
This technology uses stacked vertical/horizontal linear motion guides and rolling/yawing rotary motors to move the movable frame in four directions. Combined with the excavator's boom and arm cylinders for forward/backward movement and pitch adjustment, it allows for multi-axis panel alignment. The remote control terminal uses a single joystick to input commands for hydraulic cylinders, multi-directional motion components, and suction cup buttons, connecting to the excavator via RF, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth. Applicable to low-level curtain wall construction for high-rises, large exterior panel installation for factories and warehouses, and glass facade replacement, it allows operators to wirelessly perform fine adjustments while observing the panel up close, enabling fast and accurate installation without manual labor.
This invention was developed with support from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy for the development of a rough-terrain driving system capable of independent driving and attitude control.
