Abstract:The architectural aluminum alloy formwork is widely used due to its good rigidity, long service life, and repeated usage. At present, the sorting and packing of architectural aluminum alloy formwork mainly depends on manual work, which has low sorting efficiency and high classification error rate. In order to improve the sorting efficiency and classification accuracy of aluminium templates, a sorting system for architectural aluminum alloy formwork is designed, which consists of upper management computer, two-dimensional code scanner, MCGS touch screen, and architectural aluminum alloy formwork transmission system. The KingView configuration software which runs on the management computer can complete the station matching according to the delivery list. It updates the sorting database and displays the sorting process in real time. The scanner scans the two-dimensional code of the aluminum alloy formwork label on the conveyor belt to obtain the information of its specifications, types, and engineering location. After processed by KingView configuration software, the information is sent to the corresponding MCGS touch screen. The worker picks up the aluminium alloy formwork on the conveyor belt and carries it to the designated stacking area. MCGS touch screen realizes the function of information exchange between management computer and workers in sorting process. Experiments show that the designed aluminium alloy formwork sorting system has good stability and practicability. It can effectively solve the problem of low efficiency and high classification error rate in manual sorting process.
