Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to an adaptive ceiling supporting device that aims to provide adjustable support to ceilings during construction in view of ensuring that the support structures are positioned flexibly and accurately according to user-defined locations for optimal alignment and stability.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Ceiling support is a crucial in construction for providing stability and safety during the building process. This ensures that the ceiling structure remains secure while various materials are installed, and prevents structural failure. Ceiling supports are typically temporary, used during the construction phase until the ceiling is permanently fixed in place. These supports are essential for holding up suspended ceilings, beams, or other overhead structures, preventing them from sagging or collapsing under the weight of materials or workers. Without adequate ceiling support, the risk of accidents and damage increases significantly. In addition to safety, proper ceiling support helps maintain the integrity of the building’s framework, ensuring that walls, beams, and the overall structure remain aligned. This also allows other construction activities to continue smoothly without interference from unstable overhead elements. Temporary ceiling supports are usually removed once the final ceiling is in place and bear the load independently.

[0003] Traditional methods of ceiling support during construction typically involve the use of wooden or metal props, beams, and scaffolding. Wooden props are often placed beneath the ceiling structure to temporarily hold it in place, while timber beams or steel beams provide horizontal support. Scaffolding is also employed to create a secure platform for workers and materials for ensuring stability during the installation of ceilings. While these methods are widely used for many years, they come with several drawbacks. Wooden props, for example, are cumbersome and require frequent adjustments, as they do not provide consistent support throughout the construction process. Wooden props are prone to wear and weaken over time due to exposure to moisture or environmental conditions. Metal props, though more durable are heavy and require additional labor to handle and position. Scaffolding occupy large areas of space, limiting mobility and creating obstacles on the construction site. These traditional methods also often lack precision which lead to misalignment or uneven support, thus potentially compromising the integrity of the ceiling structure.

An upwardly extending flange arrangement provides support for a ceiling fixture while allowing adjustment of its position before being secured to the support system. The flange arrangement may be flexible and secured to the ceiling structure via resilient hangers.

[0021] 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.

[0022] The present invention relates to an adaptive ceiling supporting device further seeks to develop a device that is capable of continuously monitoring the condition and quality of materials used for ceiling support, such as detecting moisture, heat, curvature, and defects, while also preventing premature removal of materials by ensuring concrete has dried adequately before any support is removed.

[0023] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of an adaptive ceiling supporting device is illustrated, comprising a cuboidal housing 101 developed to be positioned on a ground surface, housing 101 is installed with plurality of motorized wheels 102, an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 103 installed on the housing 101, a touch interactive display panel 104 mounted on the housing 101, multiple platforms 105 are installed in housing 101, a pair of plates 106 are housed, and plates 106 are attached with multiple hydraulic links 107 disposed between edges of the plates 106, a motorized hinge door 108 mounted on frontal side of the housing 101, a telescopically operated gripper 109 mounted on the housing 101, a motorized clamping mechanism 110 provided with each of the platform and a sensing module 111 installed on said platforms 105

[0024] The device disclosed herein includes a cuboidal housing 101 that is developed to be placed on a ground surface inside an enclosure. The housing 101 is typically constructed from durable materials, such as metal or reinforced plastic which is capable of withstanding the weight and operational stresses. Integrated within this housing 101 are multiple motorized wheels 102 that provide the housing 101 with the ability to move autonomously. These wheels 102 are positioned to allow for stable and controlled movement in any direction across the surface. The motorized wheels 102 are powered by a series of electric motors which are controlled by the device's inbuilt microcontroller that ensure smooth and accurate navigation.

[0025] An artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 103 is installed on the housing 101 that enables to capture and process detailed visual information about the environment. The imaging unit 103 is equipped with imaging technologies such as high-resolution camera and depth sensor which work in collaboration to gather comprehensive visual data of the enclosure in which the device operates. The imaging unit 103 capture multiple images or video frames of the surrounding space, including ceiling surfaces, walls, and any obstacles that exist within the environment.

[0026] Once the images are captured, they are sent to a paired processor, which performs image processing. This processor utilizes artificial intelligence protocols likely based on machine learning or deep learning models, to analyze and interpret the visual data. The AI is developed to identify key features within the images, such as the contours and geometry of the ceiling, walls, and any structural elements that affect the housing’s movement or operation. The AI-driven image processing also helps to detect obstacles, variations in surface textures, or irregularities in the enclosure that require attention. The AI further classify these detected features, recognizing specific areas that need support, identifying the precise geometry of the ceiling, and estimating distances and dimensions of the room. These capabilities are particularly useful in environments with complex geometries or when precise alignment of the support structures is crucial. For example, if the ceiling has varying heights or slopes, the AI adapt and create a corresponding map to guide the platform positioning.

[0027] The processed visual information is fed into microcontroller, which evaluates the information, transforming the 2D images into a 3D map of the surroundings using protocols for depth perception and spatial awareness. The 3D mapping allows the device to understand not only the layout of the enclosure but also its relative positioning to key elements, such as the ceiling height and surface features. This mapping is essential for the device to autonomously navigate and perform tasks and adjusting their height according to the varying needs of the ceiling.

[0028] The 3D map generated by the microcontroller is displayed in real-time on the device's touch interactive display panel 104 mounted on the housing 101. The display allows users to visually monitor the environment and make informed decisions regarding which areas of the ceiling need support. The real-time display of the 3D map also enables the user to adjust and control actions, such as selecting a specific portion of the ceiling to be supported. The AI-based imaging unit 103 helps continuously update the map for providing dynamic feedback about the environment’s changing conditions, especially as the housing 101 moves and interacts with the space.

[0029] The display serves as a vital interface between the user and the device for offering both a visual and functional control interface. The display panel 104 is typically a high-resolution, user-friendly touchscreen that enables the user to interact directly with the device, monitor its operations, and make real-time adjustments based on the device's performance. This provides a dynamic visualization of the evaluated 3D mapping created by the artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 103, displaying a comprehensive representation of the enclosure's interior, including the ceiling, walls, and other structural elements.

[0030] The 3D map displayed on the touch panel 104 allows the user to see the layout and dimensions of the space in a graphical form, which is essential for understanding the environment in which the device is working. The user zoom in or out on the map, rotate it, or adjust the perspective to gain a clearer view of different areas of the enclosure. This visual feedback makes it easier for the user to pinpoint the exact portions of the ceiling that require support.

[0031] Inside the housing 101, multiple platforms 105 are developed to support the ceiling. Each platform consists of a pair of plates 106 that form a structural unit capable of carrying a bamboo used for ceiling support. The plates 106 are connected to each other through multiple hydraulic links 107, which are carefully positioned along the edges of the plates 106. These hydraulic links 107 allow for precise control of the gap between the plates 106 in view of enabling the user to adjust the height and alignment of the platform depending on the ceiling's requirements. The hydraulic links 107 are powered by the microcontroller and are extended or contracted to adjust the spacing between the plates 106 for effectively modifying the height at which the bamboo is positioned to support the ceiling.

[0032] By adjusting the gap between the plates 106 using the hydraulic links 107, the device ensure that the bamboo is placed at the optimal height to provide effective ceiling support. The hydraulic link operates through a hydraulic unit that controls the extension and retraction of the links 107 using pressurized fluid. At the core of this link is a hydraulic cylinder, which contains a piston that moves within a cylindrical chamber. The hydraulic fluid, typically oil, is stored in an oil reservoir and is pumped into the cylinder via valves. When the device receives a command to extend the hydraulic link, the hydraulic pump pushes oil from the reservoir into the cylinder, increasing the pressure on one side of the piston. This pressure forces the piston to move, causing the link to extend. The valves, which are controlled by the microcontroller, regulate the flow of the oil into and out of the cylinder for ensuring precise control over the speed and distance of the extension.

[0033] To retract the hydraulic link, the process is reversed. The valves open to allow the oil to flow back into the reservoir, reducing pressure on the piston and allowing it to return to its original position. The entire process is highly controlled with the valves ensuring smooth, gradual movement and preventing damage to the components or excessive force that affect the stability of the ceiling support.

[0034] A motorized hinge door 108 is mounted on the frontal side of the housing 101 for allowing the device to deploy and retrieve its supporting platforms 105. The motorized door 108 is controlled by the microcontroller, which governs its opening and closing based on the operational needs and commands from the user. The door 108 is developed to provide a controlled and secure opening for ensuring that the platforms 105 are safely positioned within the housing 101 when not in use and are smoothly deployed when needed. The hinge allows the door 108 to swing open easily for providing access to the platforms 105 stored inside the housing 101.

[0035] The operation of the motorized hinge door 108 is typically powered by an electric motor connected to a series of gears and actuators, which are controlled by the microcontroller. When the user issues a command via the touch interactive display, the microcontroller sends signals to activate the motors and causing the door 108 to open. The door 108 opens gradually to avoid abrupt movements for ensuring smooth transitions and minimizing wear on the mechanical parts.

[0036] Once the motorized hinge door 108 opens, a telescopically operated gripper 109, also mounted on the housing 101, is activated by the microcontroller. The gripper 109 is responsible for extracting and positioning the platforms 105 on the ground surface. The gripper 109 operates through a telescopic mechanism 110 which means that the gripper 109 extends or retract in length to adapt to different positioning requirements. The telescopic gripper 109 is developed to securely hold the platforms 105 as they are moved into place, ensuring that they are precisely positioned where they are needed. The gripper’s telescopic operation allows for fine control over the platform’s movement for ensuring that it does not tip over or misalign during deployment.

[0037] The operation of the telescopic gripper 109 is controlled by the microcontroller, which adjusts the gripper’s length and positioning based on the user-specified input commands. For example, the user specifies the exact location where the platforms 105 are to be deployed and the gripper 109 extend to a precise length for lowering the platform to the ground surface. The microcontroller continuously monitors the movement of the gripper 109 and the platform to ensure the correct positioning, taking into account factors such as platform orientation and the required gap between consecutive platforms 105. The microcontroller also ensures that the optimal gap between two consecutive platforms 105 is maintained during the deployment process. This is particularly important in ceiling support tasks, as the platforms 105 need to be spaced correctly to provide even and effective support.

[0038] A motorized clamping mechanism 110 is integrated into each platform for ensuring the secure holding of bamboo throughout the operational process. This clamping mechanism 110 is developed to adapt to varying sizes and shapes of bamboo for ensuring that it remains firmly in place as the device adjusts its position to support the ceiling. The clamping mechanism 110 consists of a set of clamps attached to telescopic rods, which allow the clamps to adjust their grip dynamically based on the size and placement of the bamboo. The telescopic design of the rods enables them to extend or retract in view of providing flexibility in how the clamps secure the bamboo. This adjustability ensures that the clamping force is evenly distributed across the bamboo for preventing damage while maintaining a firm grip.

[0039] To enhance the accuracy of the platform's position and to adjust the bamboo’s height accordingly, an ultrasonic sensor is installed on the housing 101. The sensor aids in detecting the height of the ceiling relative to the ground surface. The ultrasonic sensor works by emitting high-frequency sound waves that bounce off the ceiling and return to the sensor. The time taken for the sound waves to return is measured, and from this, the height of the ceiling is calculated. The ultrasonic sensor provides continuous, real-time height measurements, which are then sent to the microcontroller. This data helps the microcontroller determine the exact gap needed between the plates 106 of the platform to achieve the correct height for the bamboo.

[0040] Once the ceiling height is determined, the microcontroller activates the hydraulic link to adjust the height. The hydraulic links 107 connect the two plates 106 of the platform and are responsible for adjusting the gap between them. By controlling the flow of hydraulic fluid, the microcontroller extend or retract the hydraulic links 107, which in turn adjusts the height of the bamboo. The precise control of the gap between the plates 106 is essential because it allows the device to position the bamboo at the correct height for supporting the ceiling, compensating for any variations in the ceiling’s elevation across the entire structure. The hydraulic link' ability to adjust smoothly and with high precision for ensuring that the bamboo is held at the proper height and remains stable throughout the process.

[0041] In addition to controlling the height of the bamboo, a gyroscope sensor mounted on the platform continuously monitors the orientation and movement of the bamboo. The gyroscope detects any shifts in the angle or position of the bamboo during the platform’s adjustment process. This sensor provides real-time feedback to the microcontroller, which processes the data to determine if the bamboo's orientation deviates beyond a predetermined threshold. If the bamboo tilts or shifts too much, the microcontroller automatically activates the hydraulic links 107 to stabilize the platform.

[0042] The stabilization process works by adjusting the length of the hydraulic links 107 to correct any misalignment. For example, if the bamboo shifts in one direction, the microcontroller adjusts the hydraulic links 107 to correct the platform's angle, bringing the bamboo back to its optimal position. This self-adjusting mechanism 110 ensures that the bamboo remains perfectly aligned, even if there are external forces, such as weight distribution or environmental factors, that cause it to shift. By continuously monitoring and adjusting the position and orientation of the bamboo, the device maintain stability throughout the entire process of supporting the ceiling for preventing any misalignment that lead to structural issues.

[0043] A sensing module 111 installed on the platforms 105 to monitor and assess the quality and condition of the bamboo being used as ceiling supports. This module 111 performs several important functions, primarily detecting the bamboo’s shape, curvature, and any potential defects. The sensing module 111 evaluates the moisture and heat levels in the bamboo which influence the strength, durability, and overall quality of the material. The sensing module 111 incorporates sensor such as a LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) sensor and a moisture sensor, which work together to provide real-time data on the bamboo’s condition, enabling the microcontroller to take corrective actions when necessary.

[0044] The LiDAR sensor uses laser light to measure distances and create detailed, high-resolution 3D scans of the bamboo’s surface. By emitting laser pulses and measuring the time it takes for the pulses to reflect back, the LiDAR sensor precisely determine the shape and curvature of the bamboo. This information is critical because any deformities or irregularities in the bamboo’s surface impact its effectiveness as a ceiling support. For example, if the bamboo develops bends, twists, or cracks, it is not able to support the ceiling evenly or securely which lead to structural instability. The LiDAR sensor detect these issues early in view of allowing the device to assess whether the bamboo is suitable for use or if it needs to be replaced or adjusted.

[0045] In addition to detecting shape and curvature, the sensing module 111 also includes the moisture sensor for assessing the bamboo’s quality. Bamboo, like many organic materials, is highly sensitive to moisture levels, and its structural integrity is compromised if it is too dry or too wet. If the bamboo absorbs excessive moisture or remains too dry, it gets weaken, bend, or even rot over time. The moisture sensor is developed to measure the water content within the bamboo in view of providing real-time data to the microcontroller. This data helps the microcontroller evaluate whether the bamboo is in a condition that supports its intended use. If the moisture levels are outside the optimal range, the microcontroller issue an alert, prompting the user to take corrective action, such as drying or treating the bamboo to ensure its strength and longevity.

[0046] The sensing module 111 also monitors the heat levels in the bamboo, which provide insights into its condition. Heat levels are often associated with the level of biological activity in organic materials. For example, high temperatures in bamboo indicate excessive exposure to sunlight or external heat sources, which lead to drying or warping. Conversely, if the bamboo is too cold or exposed to high humidity, it does not perform as expected in terms of stability and durability. By measuring the heat levels in the bamboo, the sensor give additional context about the material’s environmental conditions and potential risks, offering a more comprehensive view of the bamboo’s quality.

[0047] Once the sensing module 111 detects any anomalies, such as irregularities in shape, excessive moisture, or abnormal temperature fluctuations, the microcontroller processes this information and generates an alert. This alert is sent to a computing unit, which is typically accessible to the user. The alert includes real-time insights into the bamboo’s condition, providing valuable information about the specific nature of the issue, such as whether the bamboo is too warped, too moist, or exposed to extreme temperatures. This timely feedback allows the user to make informed decisions about whether the bamboo is to be replaced, treated, or adjusted to ensure it meets the required standards for ceiling support.

[0048] The imaging unit 103 assess not only the condition of the bamboo but also the quality of the linter for ensuring the structural integrity of the ceiling support. Linter, often used as a binding material or reinforcement is typically composed of a concrete-like substance that solidifies to provide added strength and stability. The imaging unit 103 is specifically configured to analyze the surface of the linter by capturing high-resolution images, which are then processed by the microcontroller. These images are evaluated to detect any signs of irregularities or issues that arise during the curing process, such as cracks, inconsistent thickness, or other surface defects that compromise the strength and durability of the linter. By continuously monitoring the quality of the linter, the device ensures that the material maintains the desired structural properties needed to support the ceiling effectively.

[0049] In addition to the imaging unit 103, an IR (infrared) sensor is mounted on the housing 101 to monitor the drying process of the concrete linter. The IR sensor works by detecting temperature variations, as concrete typically releases heat as it cures and solidifies. By measuring the temperature of the linter, the IR sensor determine whether the concrete has fully dried and hardened. If the sensor detects that the linter has not reached the optimal level of dryness, an alert is generated on the computing unit, notifying the user that the concrete is not yet fully cured. This prevents the premature removal of the bamboo, which cause the structure to become unstable if the linter has not fully set. The microcontroller integrates this data from the IR sensor for ensuring that any action involving the bamboo, such as its removal or repositioning, is only carried out once the concrete linter is adequately dried and solidified.

[0050] A force sensor is mounted on the platform for ensuring that the bamboo used for ceiling support is not subjected to excessive pressure or force, which lead to damage. The force sensor is developed to continuously measure the amount of force applied to the bamboo by detecting changes in the pressure or load experienced by the material. The sensor is highly sensitive and detect even subtle variations in force, allowing the microcontroller to monitor the bamboo's condition in real time. When the bamboo is being manipulated or adjusted by the hydraulic links 107, the force sensor provides feedback to the device about the load being applied, and if this force exceeds a predetermined threshold, it triggers an alert to the microcontroller. This threshold is carefully calibrated based on the bamboo’s characteristics, such as its strength, moisture content, and flexibility, ensuring that the bamboo is handled within safe parameters.

[0051] Upon receiving data from the force sensor, the microcontroller takes immediate action to prevent any potential damage to the bamboo or the linter by adjusting the size of the hydraulic links 107. If the force applied to the bamboo exceeds the safe limit, the microcontroller signals the hydraulic links 107 to retract or reduce the extension for effectively decreasing the pressure exerted on the bamboo. This adjustment helps to alleviate any excessive load in view of reducing the risk of the bamboo bending, cracking, or breaking.

[0052] Lastly, a battery (not shown in figure) is associated with the device to supply power to electrically powered components which are employed herein. The battery is comprised of a pair of electrodes named as a cathode and an anode. The battery uses a chemical reaction of oxidation/reduction to do work on charge and produce a voltage between their anode and cathode and thus produces electrical energy that is used to do work in the device.

[0053] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the cuboidal housing 101 with motorized wheels 102 autonomously moves into position within the enclosure as disclosed in the proposed invention. The AI-based imaging unit 103 captures images of the space, which are processed by the microcontroller to generate the 3D map. The user selects the ceiling area to be supported via the touch display panel 104. The motorized hinge door 108 opens, and the telescopic gripper 109 positions platforms 105, each with hydraulic links 107, on the ground for maintaining the optimal gap between platforms 105. The ultrasonic sensor detects ceiling height, and the microcontroller adjusts the hydraulic links 107 to set the bamboo at the correct height. The gyroscope sensor monitors bamboo orientation and if it shifts beyond the threshold, the device stabilizes it by adjusting the hydraulic links 107. The sensing module 111 tracks bamboo's shape, moisture, and defects, sending real-time alerts if anomalies are detected. The device also checks the quality of the linter and monitors the drying status of concrete the IR sensor, preventing bamboo removal before it's safe and the force sensor ensures that excessive force on the bamboo is avoided, adjusting the hydraulic links 107 to prevent damage.
