Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to an automated concrete design/ pattern embossing device that is capable of efficiently creating intricate patterns and designs on concrete surfaces as per the requirement of a user along with detecting any unevenness on the embossed concrete surface, for scrubbing the surface to provide a clean finish and smooth texture to the embossed design/ pattern.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Concrete design and pattern refer to the deliberate application of aesthetic or functional designs onto concrete surfaces, typically to enhance visual appeal or provide specific textures. This process is undertaken to transform plain concrete into decorative elements that complement architectural styles, interior designs, or outdoor landscaping. Patterns and designs can range from geometric shapes and textures to intricate artworks, achieved through techniques like embossing, stamping, or staining. Concrete design serves not only aesthetic purposes but also functional roles such as improving slip resistance or integrating branding elements into architectural projects. Traditionally, this task has required manual labor and specialized skills, where craftsmen manually applied designs using stencils or molds. These methods often resulted in inconsistencies in pattern application and required significant time and effort to achieve desired results.
[0003] In traditional methods, artisans faced limitations such as labor-intensive processes prone to human error, resulting in uneven designs and prolonged project timelines. Moreover, achieving complex designs often required multiple steps and specialized tools, adding to the complexity and cost. Thus, there is a need to develop a device that addresses these limitations by automating the embossing process, allowing for precise pattern application through advanced imaging and robotic technologies. The device not only enhances efficiency but also ensures consistent and high-quality results, thereby reducing labor costs and project timelines significantly.
[0004] CN217257116U discloses about a concrete embossing device, which belongs to the technical field of concrete construction, and comprises a shell and an embossing plate with patterns, wherein a handle and two outer frames are fixed at the top end of the shell, inserting blocks are arranged in the two outer frames, two lugs are arranged between the two inserting blocks, slots matched with the inserting blocks are arranged on the side walls of the two lugs which are opposite to each other, U-shaped pull rods are fixed on the side walls of the two inserting blocks away from the lugs, and two springs are sleeved on the two pull rods; the bottom ends of the two convex blocks penetrate through the shell and are connected with the embossing plate, and one side, far away from the insert blocks, of the embossing plate is provided with a plurality of hairbrushes; the brushes are all fixed on the top end of the perforated plate, and the perforated plate is arranged in the water tank. This concrete knurling device makes things convenient for the clearance of knurling board, does benefit to the dismounting of knurling board. Although, CN’116 is designed for use in construction, featuring a shell housing an embossing plate with patterns, however the device lacks in detecting depth of the concrete layer and hardness of the concrete respectively for embossing the user-specified design/ pattern over the concrete by applying an optimal amount of force on the design.
[0005] EP3981565A1 discloses about a concrete decorating embossing material is provided. The concrete decorating embossing material comprises a substrate including a reverse structure which is a reverse of an uneven pattern to be formed on a concrete surface, and cure retardant layer elements which are formed in portions of the surface of the substrate on which the reverse structure is formed, and comprise a resin composition mixed with a concrete cure retardant. The concrete decorating embossing material includes a texture pattern of the cure retardant layer elements on the substrate. Though, EP’565 discloses a concrete decorating embossing material that features a substrate with a reverse structure, designed to imprint an inverse of a desired uneven pattern onto a concrete surface, however, the device lacks the capability to detect the depth and hardness of the concrete layer, crucial for applying an optimal amount of force during embossing to achieve user-specified designs.
[0006] Conventionally, many devices have been developed for embossing concrete patterns and designs. These devices typically focus on basic functionality such as applying predefined patterns onto concrete surfaces manually or semi-automatically, however these devices lack in detecting the depth of the concrete layer and the hardness of the surface for enabling the device to adjust the embossing process dynamically. By applying an optimal amount of force through a hydraulically operated means, the device ensures consistent and high-quality embossing results across varying concrete conditions.
[0007] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, there exists a need in the art to develop a device that needs to be capable of enhancing the precision of embossing intricate patterns and designs onto concrete surfaces and allows for customizable pattern selection, and incorporate real-time adjustment capabilities to optimize embossing outcomes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0018] The following description includes the preferred best mode of one embodiment of the present invention. It will be clear from this description of the invention that the invention is not limited to these illustrated embodiments but that the invention also includes a variety of modifications and embodiments thereto. Therefore, the present description should be seen as illustrative and not limiting. While the invention is susceptible to various modifications and alternative constructions, it should be understood, that there is no intention to limit the invention to the specific form disclosed, but, on the contrary, the invention is to cover all modifications, alternative constructions, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the claims.
[0019] In any embodiment described herein, the open-ended terms "comprising," "comprises,” and the like (which are synonymous with "including," "having” and "characterized by") may be replaced by the respective partially closed phrases "consisting essentially of," consists essentially of," and the like or the respective closed phrases "consisting of," "consists of, the like.
[0020] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.
[0021] The present invention relates to an automated concrete design/ pattern embossing device that is capable of efficiently creating intricate patterns and designs on concrete surfaces according to user specifications along with detecting any unevenness on the embossed concrete surface to scrub the surface in order to provide a clean finish and smooth texture to the embossed design/pattern.
[0022] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of an automated concrete design/ pattern embossing device is illustrated, comprising a cuboidal body 101 developed to be positioned on a ground surface and proximity to a wall pre-applied with concrete, an artificial intelligence based imaging unit 102 mounted on the body 101, a touch interactive display panel 103 mapped on the body 101, an inverted L-shaped telescopic bar arranged on the body 101 to position a horizontal flap 104 attached with the bars, an extendable U-shaped member 105 constructed with plurality of extendable plates attached with the flap 104, a hydraulically operated plunger 106 configured in between the flap 104 and member 105, a robotic arm 107 installed on the member 105 and attached with a motorized brush and an electronic nozzle connected with a chamber 109 stored with water in configured on the plate.
[0023] The proposed device herein comprises of a cuboidal body 101 designed to be positioned on a ground surface and in proximity to a wall pre-applied with concrete. The body 101 is constructed from a durable and lightweight material, such as high-strength aluminum alloy or reinforced composite plastic. These materials are chosen for their balance of strength and weight, ensuring that the device is both robust enough to withstand the operational stresses and light enough to be easily maneuvered.
[0024] The body 101 is configured with multiple motorized wheels for providing movement to the body 101 on the surface. The wheels are powered by are powered by a DC (Direct Current) motor, which convert electrical energy into mechanical motion. When the body 101 receives electric current from an external source, the DC motors generate rotational force. This force is then transmitted to the wheels via a gearbox, which converts the rotary motion into linear motion, propelling the body 101 forward, backward, or sideways as required. The motorized omnidirectional wheels are designed to move independently, allowing the body 101 to change direction smoothly and precisely by adjusting the speed and direction of each wheel individually.
[0025] A user is required to press a push button integrated with the device, such that when the user presses the push button, it initiates an electrical circuit mechanism. Inside the push button, there is a spring-loaded contact mechanism that, under normal circumstances, maintains an open circuit. When the button is pressed, it compresses the spring, causing the contacts to meet and complete the circuit. This closure then sends an electrical signal to an inbuilt microcontroller associated with the device to either power up or shut down. Conversely, releasing the button allows the spring to return to its original position, breaking the circuit and sending the signal to deactivate the device.
[0026] Upon activation of the device, the microcontroller activates an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 102 mounted on the body 101 for evaluating a 3D mapping of the surroundings as well as determine presence of wall in proximity to the body 101. The imaging unit 102 comprises of an image capturing arrangement including a set of lenses that captures multiple images of the surroundings, and the captured images are stored within a memory of the imaging unit 102 in form of an optical data. The imaging unit 102 also comprises of a processor that is integrated with artificial intelligence protocols, such that the processor processes the optical data and extracts the required data from the captured images. The extracted data is further converted into digital pulses and bits and are further transmitted to the microcontroller. The microcontroller processes the received data and evaluates the 3D mapping of the surroundings as well as determining the presence of wall in proximity to the body 101.
[0027] Based on the generated 3D map of the surroundings, the microcontroller activates a touch interactive display panel 103 mapped on the body 101 for displaying the evaluated 3D mapping of the surroundings and also enabling the user to select a portion of the wall over which the user desires to get emboss designs/ patterns, along with specifying pattern/ design that is to be embossed on the wall as per requirement.
[0028] The screen operates on the principle of liquid crystal display (LCD). It consists of a grid of tiny liquid crystal cells, each capable of controlling the passage of light. When an electric current is applied, these liquid crystals align to either allow or block the backlighting, creating distinct patterns of light and dark pixels. The microcontrollers send signals to the screen, instructing which pixels should be illuminated and at what intensity, forming the numerical representation of the surroundings and thus displaying the evaluated 3D mapping of the surroundings.
[0029] As per the user specified details, the microcontroller actuates a motorized hinge joints arranged on the body 101 for providing movement to an inverted L-shaped telescopic bar arranged on the body 101. The motorized hinge joint comprises of a pair of leaf that is screwed with the surfaces of the bar. The leaf is connected with each other by means of a cylindrical member integrated with a shaft coupled with a DC (Direct Current) motor to provide required movement to the hinge joint. The rotation of the shaft in clockwise and anti-clockwise aids in opening and closing of the hinge joint respectively. Hence the microcontroller actuates the hinge joint that in turn provides movement to the bar to position a horizontal flap 104 attached with the bars on the detected wall.
[0030] An extendable U-shaped member 105 constructed with plurality of extendable plates attached with the flap 104. As per the user-specified design/ pattern, the microcontroller actuates the plates to extend/retract. The extendable plates are integrated with a drawer arrangement that includes sliding racks and rails, such that the plates are mounted over the racks that are electronically operated by the microcontroller for moving over the rails. Such that the microcontroller actuates the drawer arrangement.
[0031] The drawer arrangement is powered by a DC (direct current) motor that is actuated by the microcontroller by providing required electric current to the motor. The motor comprises of a coil that converts the received electric current into mechanical force by generating magnetic field, thus the mechanical force provides the required power to the racks to provide sliding movement to the plates for extending/retracting as per requirement and simultaneously the microcontroller actuates plurality of motorized hinges configured between the plates for tilting the plates towards/away from each other to modulate shape of the member 105 in accordance with user-specified design/ pattern.
[0032] In between the flap 104 and member 105, a hydraulically operated plunger 106 is configured that is actuated by the microcontroller for pushing the plate against the concrete applied on the wall. The hydraulically operated plunger 106 functions based on the principle of hydraulic pressure transmission. The plunger 106 comprises several key components including a hydraulic cylinder, a piston, hydraulic fluid, and control valves. When activated by the microcontroller, hydraulic fluid is pressurized and directed into the hydraulic cylinder, causing the piston to move. As the piston extends towards the wall, it applies an optimal amount of force onto the plate. This force is regulated by controlling the flow of hydraulic fluid using the control valves, ensuring precise and consistent pressure application of the plate against the concrete surfaces.
[0033] The microcontroller then actuates a motorized swivel joint configured in between the plate and member 105 to extend/ retract for providing flexibility to the member 105. The motorized swivel joint provides flexibility and precise alignment of the embossing member 105 with the wall surface by using a combination of an electric motor, gears, and a rotational axis. The electric motor, controlled by the microcontroller, drives the gears that rotate the swivel joint around its axis. This rotation allows the attached plate and member 105 to adjust their orientation to match the contour and angle of the wall. The microcontroller precisely controls the motor's speed and direction, enabling smooth and accurate positioning of the embossing member 105. The extension and retraction capabilities of the swivel joint further enhance its flexibility, allowing the device to maintain consistent contact with the concrete surface and accurately emboss the user-specified design and in synchronization with actuation of the wheels for maneuvering the body 101 over entire user-specified area.
[0034] In case the microcontroller via the imaging unit 102 detects any unevenness on the embossed concrete surface, then the microcontroller actuates a robotic arm 107 installed on the member 105 and attached with a motorized brush for scrubbing the surface via the brush for providing a clean finish and smooth texture to the embossed design/ pattern.
[0035] The robotic arm 107 is able to perform the designated task with high efficiency and accuracy, wherein the robotic arm 107 consists of mechanical joints and actuators, which are controlled by the microcontroller. The actuators allow various degrees of freedom and movement and the joints are actuated by a DC (Direct Current) motor, providing the necessary force and motion to the brush for scrubbing the surface to provide clean finish and smooth texture to the embossed design/ pattern.
[0036] During the embossing of the user-specified pattern/ design over the wall, the microcontroller actuates a pair of motorized pin joints 108 configured on the housing and attached with a curved-collection tray to tilt and deploy the collection tray underneath the user-specified area. The motorized pin joint 108 is a mechanical component that facilitates movement between connected elements. It consists of a pin, which serves as an axis of rotation, and is supported by bearings for reduced friction. The pin joint 108 is driven by a motor, which imparts rotational motion to the pin. When activated, the pin joints 108 enable controlled movement of the tray, allowing for adjustments in their orientation. This dynamic flexibility in the tray aids to deploy the tray underneath the user-specified area in view of facilitating collection of residue and debris generated during embossing process.
[0037] A motorized ball and socket joint is configured in between the housing and robotic arm 107 that is actuated by the microcontroller to provide multi-axis rotational motion to robotic arm 107. The ball and socket joint provides a 360-degree rotation to the robotic arm 107 for aiding the robotic arm 107 to turn at a desired angle. The ball and socket joint are a coupling consisting of a ball joint securely locked within a socket joint, where the ball joint is able to move in a 360-dgree rotation within the socket thus, providing the required rotational motion to the robotic arm 107. The ball and socket joint are powered by a DC (direct current) motor that is actuated by the microcontroller thus providing multidirectional movement to the robotic arm 107 for proper removal of unwanted extra concrete residue from the embossed user-specified pattern/ design.
[0038] The body 101 is configured with a sensing module comprising a depth sensor and tactile sensor that detects depth of the concrete layer and hardness of the concrete respectively. The depth sensor operates on the principle of ultrasonic principle. The sensor emits ultrasonic pulses towards the surface of the wall and measures the time it takes for these pulses to travel to the concrete layer and back. The speed of sound in air is a known constant, and by calculating the time of flight, the sensor determines the distance between the sensor and concrete layer. The microcontroller receives continuous depth measurements from the depth sensor, allowing it to monitor the depth of the concrete layer in real-time.
[0039] The microcontroller simultaneously actuates a tactile sensor to detect hardness of the concrete layer. The tactile sensor detects the hardness of the concrete layer by measuring the force of contact between the sensor and the concrete layer. The sensor is typically a small, flat component that is placed against the concrete layer and then pressed down. As the force of contact increases, the sensor measures the amount of pressure being applied and sends a signal to the microcontroller. The microcontroller then interprets the signal and determines the hardness of the concrete layer. Thus, the microcontroller receives the signals from the sensing module to detect the depth of the concrete layer and hardness of the concrete respectively in accordance to which the microcontroller regulates actuation of the plunger 106 for embossing the user-specified design/ pattern over the concrete by applying an optimal amount of force.
[0040] An electronic nozzle connected with a chamber 109 stored with water in configured on the plate, and the nozzle is actuated by the microcontroller for sprinkling water on embossed design/ pattern. The electronic nozzle operates through precise control facilitated by a solenoid valve actuated by the microcontroller. When the microcontroller sends an electrical signal to the solenoid coil, it generates a magnetic field that moves the valve's armature, allowing pressurized water from a connected chamber 109 to flow through the nozzle for sprinkling water on embossed design/ pattern in order to aid in curing process and enhance durability of the design/ pattern.
[0041] The device is associated with a battery for providing the required power to the electronically and electrically operated components including the microcontroller, electrically powered sensors, motorized components and alike of the device. The battery within the device is preferably a lithium-ion-battery which is a rechargeable battery and recharges by deriving the required power from an external power source. The derived power is further stored in form of chemical energy within the battery, which when required by the components of the device derive the required energy in the form of electric current for ensuring smooth and proper functioning of the device.
[0042] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the cuboidal body 101 as disclosed in the invention is developed to be positioned on a ground surface and in proximity to the wall pre-applied with concrete, wherein the microcontroller activates the artificial intelligence based imaging unit 102 for evaluating the 3D mapping of the surroundings as well as determine presence of wall in proximity to the body 101 based on which the microcontroller activates the display panel 103 for displaying the evaluated 3D mapping of the surroundings and also enabling the user to select a portion of the wall over which the user desires to get emboss designs/ patterns, along with specifying pattern/ design that is to be embossed on the wall as per requirement. The microcontroller actuates the motorized hinge joints for providing movement to the inverted L-shaped telescopic bar to position a horizontal flap 104 attached with the bars on the detected wall. The extendable U-shaped member 105 constructed with plurality of extendable plates attached with the flap 104 to extend/retract and simultaneously the microcontroller actuates plurality of motorized hinges configured between the plates for tilting the plates towards/away from each other to modulate shape of the member 105 in accordance with user-specified design/ pattern. In case the microcontroller via the imaging unit 102 detects any unevenness on the embossed concrete surface, then the microcontroller actuates the robotic arm 107 installed on the member 105 and attached with the motorized brush for scrubbing the surface via the brush for providing a clean finish and smooth texture to the embossed design/ pattern.
[0043] In continuation, in between the flap 104 and member 105, a hydraulically operated plunger 106 is configured that is actuated by the microcontroller for pushing the plate against the concrete applied on the wall and the microcontroller then actuates the motorized swivel joint configured in between the plate and member 105 to extend/ retract for providing flexibility to the member 105. The body 101 is configured with the sensing module comprising the depth sensor and tactile sensor that detects depth of the concrete layer and hardness of the concrete respectively in accordance to which the microcontroller regulates actuation of the plunger 106 for embossing the user-specified design/ pattern over the concrete by applying an optimal amount of force. the electronic nozzle connected with a chamber 109 stored with water in configured on the plate, and the nozzle is actuated by the microcontroller for sprinkling water on embossed design/ pattern in order to aid in curing process and enhance durability of the design/ pattern.
