Definitions

• This invention relates to a rotary arm system, which also includes and will find application in the field of devices and methods for construction and maintenance, as well as in the demolition of construction or other structures having a shape which is sphere, part of a sphere or other spatial form.
• the objective of the invention is to provide a rotary arm system, by which to facilitate the process of construction, maintenance and servicing of various volumetric construction or other structures, especially domeshaped or partial sphere shapes.
• a rotary arm system which consists of a movable platform mounted on a track, to which is connected one end of a spatial vertical rotary arm, the other end of which is hinged directly to the serviced structure or to the top of a fixed vertical mast.
• the vertical mast is connected to the base of the structure.
• a support sled with the possibility of moving on it is mounted to the spatial vertical rotary arm.
• the fixed vertical mast is mounted at both ends of the fixed vertical mast - the base and the top.
• the track, the mobile platform, the spatial vertical rotary arm and the supporting sled are located inside or outside the three-dimensional structure on which structure at least one of the construction, service and maintenance activities is performed.
• the track is placed above the base of the three-dimensional structure, on which at least one of the construction, maintenance and maintenance activities is performed.
• the mobile platform is provided with wheels by means of which it moves on rails attached to the track.
• the spatial vertical rotary arm is mounted to the fixed vertical mast or directly to the structure and is rotatable around it.
• the spatial vertical rotary arm is multicomponent, with variable length and shape and with the possibility for bending.
• the spatial vertical rotary arm may be concave or convex.
• the carrier sled is provided with devices for performing operations on the structure.
• the support slide may be provided with a device attached thereto it gripping and lifting the telescopic arms used for the construction of the structure.
• the rotary arm system is programmed and robotised and can operate without human intervention.
• the advantages of the invention are the possibility to automate and robotise the construction and assembly works for the construction of hemispherical structures.
• Another major advantage is the ability to use the entire volume of warehouses with a hemispherical shape.
• This device will serve both for the construction of such domed structures and their maintenance - inside and outside, such as performing sliding formwork, coating, painting and other operations, as well as for servicing storage areas with a hemispherical structure.

• - Fig. 2 represents a top view of the rotary arm system mounted to and around the dome (hemispherical) structure
• - Fig. 3 represents a top view of a rotary arm system mounted to and around a domed (hemispherical) structure.
• Fig. 4 represents a close-up axonometric view of the movable platform of the rotary arm system mounted on a rail track.
• FIG. 1 A sample variant of the rotary arm system, which is suitable for use mainly in spherical or hemispherical domed structures, is shown in the attached Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4, which show the components and connections between the components of the system.
• the system consists of a track 1 (rail or other road base) established around a hemispherical construction structure 2 and a movable platform 3, which is mounted on track 1.
• a spatial vertical rotary arm (truss) 4 is fixed to the movable platform 3, the other end of which is mounted by means of a hinged connection 5 to the top of a fixed vertical mast 6 - Fig.1.
• the vertical mast 6 is connected, in this case by means of a lower plate 7, to the base of the hemispherical construction structure 2.
• an upper plate 8 is mounted in the upper part of the vertical mast 6, to the top of the construction structure 2.
• the shape of the spatial vertical arm 4 follows the shape of the outer surface of the construction structure 2.
• the upper end of the spatial vertical arm 4 can be connected by means of a hinged connection 5, and also to the top of the construction structure 2 or to the upper plate 8.
• a support sled 9 is mounted to the spatial vertical rotary arm 4, which can be moved up and down along it - Fig. 2.
• the attached figures show the additional components included in the system, which have been used or are used to build and provide the frame for the dome or other construction structure 2.
• These additional components include spatially vertical elements 10, spatially horizontal elements 11 and telescopic arms 12.
• These optional components, as well as the mechanization function, allowing the telescopic arms 12 to be moved by means of ropes 13, are provided and described in detail in the publication in request W02018/014094A1, which is to be considered in its entirety by reference.
• the vertical elements 10 can be steel bars that bend and twist in the process of building the frame of the construction structure 2.
• the horizontal elements 11 are also steel bars that bend and twist in circular and/or spiral shapes and are placed around the vertical elements 10.
• the horizontal elements 11 are mounted on different levels of the dome structure 2 and have a smaller radius and circumference from bottom to top, since the technological process moves from bottom to top along the dome structure 2.
• the horizontal elements 11 can be attached to the vertical elements 10 by welding or disassembly with clamps or in another recognised manner.
• the telescopic arms 12 can be used to bend the vertical elements 10 into a curved shape.
• the telescopic arms 12 attached to the base of the vertical mast 6, and in this case to the lower plate 7, are directed from the inside to the outside and can be made of different lengths depending on the shape of the construction structure 2.
• the outer ends of the telescopic arms 12 can move up and down, attach to the vertical elements 10 so as to bend them towards the mast 6, while the ends of the telescopic arms 12 move upwards.
• the vertical elements 10 are clamped at the top of the structure 2 by means of the last horizontal element 11 or are fixed in radial openings, which are made in the upper plate 8.
• the movement of the telescopic arms 12 on the vertical elements 10 is done in two ways - the first is by means of ropes 13, which are stretched or by means of a device for lifting them, mounted on the supporting sled 9.
• the hinge connection 5 can be located on the pole of the hemisphere itself or structure 2, both for external and suspended bracket for internal installation.
• the mechanism to the base of the vertical mast 6 drives the raising and lowering of the outer ends of the telescopic arms 12.
• the telescopic arms 12 also grip and raise the horizontal arms 11 to their respective level vertically along the domed structure.
• one or more of the outer ends of the telescopic arms 12 may be attached to the support slide 9, to allow them to be raised or lowered.
• the spatial vertical rotary arm 4 is concave and bends or twists upwards and over the outer surface of the dome-shaped structure 2.
• the spatial vertical rotary arm 4 may have a flexible shape allowing a change in curvature.
• the figures show the spatial vertical rotary arm 4 mainly as a single or double steel element, in alternative variants the arm 4 may not be made of steel but may be made of another material such as aluminium or composite material.
• the rotary arm 4 can also be made of many component elements connected to each other.
• the rotary arm system may be used in lifting and moving materials and tools, but it can also be used directly to construct domed structures. Since the tools placed in the support sled 9 can be robotic, remotely programmed and controlled, they can perform various tasks on the structure 2 during the performance of works during its construction, maintenance, demolition or during other operations.
• the system can also be used in three-dimensional printing applications for construction or other construction operations.
• the rotary arm 4 can move in a radius of 360 degrees around the structure, and the support sled 9 can be moved up or down along the spatial vertical rotary arm 4.
• the actions provided herein make it possible to reach any point on the surface of the dome-shaped structure 2 and to carry out the operations using various tools mounted in the carrier of the sledge 9.
• the movable platform 3 of the rotary arm system when mounted on a rail track 1, is provided with wheels 14 for moving on the rail track 1.
• the system When the system is involved in the construction of the metal structure 2, it can be used to supply vertical reinforcing bars or reinforcement elements listed above as vertical and horizontal elements 10 and 11.
• the system When the structure 2 is fully constructed, the system can remain outside and be used for finishing works such as painting. When the construction is complete, the system can be dismantled.
• track 1 does not require the location of track 1 (rail) on the ground or at the base of the construction structure 2, regardless of whether this structure is completed or not.
• the track 1 (rail) can be mounted on raised platforms, using for example jacks or another device at a higher level and not interfere with the construction of the doors and windows that form the basis of the structure 2.
• the variants also do not require the track 1 to completely surround the structure 2, because in this way the blocking of the doors and windows is avoided or other installation operations are prevented.
• the variants also do not require the track 1 to be round. It may have any other shape according to the shape of the construction structure 2.
• the rotary arm system can be used not only for construction and maintenance inside and outside of various volumetric structures, but if required, it can also be used for their destruction and destruction.
