Provided is an accumulative sliding construction method of segmental track-changing for unequal-span structure, which divides the unequal-span structure into at least two sliding sections according to span variation, and a plurality of track segments corresponding to the spans of each sliding section. By providing sliders on the main truss/beam of each sliding section at positions corresponding to the track segments that each main truss/beam need to pass through, the sliding section smoothly passes through the sliding track segments to be in position; in addition, the main truss/beam of each sliding section is provided with temporary lengthening auxiliary structure or divided into an initial-mounted unit and rear-mounted units to allow the main truss/beam of each sliding section to pass through the track segments smoothly and to be in place.

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of high-altitude building material installation equipment, in particular to building material installation equipment with high flexibility. The equipment comprises: a sucking device for sucking panels, a rotating device for driving the sucking device to rotate, a cross translation device, a swinging device and a mechanical arm; a slip ring is arranged in the rotating device and electrically connected with the sucking device; the cross translation device comprises longitudinal translation plate and transverse translation plate which are capable of driving the sucking device to make a translational movement; the longitudinal translation plate and the transverse translation plate are arranged in a direction parallel to gravity, and are fitted; and the swinging device can drive the cross translation device to swing to one side of the mechanical arm. Although the prior art provides installation equipment capable of effectively installing the panels, the equipment cannot meet installation requirements when encountering a narrow installation space. Compared with the prior art, the building material installation equipment of the present disclosure can drive the panels to enter the narrow installation space, and can adjust positions of the panels, so as to meet the installation requirements.

A three-dimensional (3D) drawing pen can include a housing that has a port that permits insertion of a strand of material into the housing, an actuator for controlling a movement of the strand, and a nozzle assembly configured to permit the strand to be extruded out of the 3D drawing pen in a form that retains its shape against gravity in free space to draw a 3D object.

A foldable boom for conveying an item, said foldable boom being foldable about at least one folding axis, said foldable boom being locatable in a folded stowed position, and moveable to unfolded extended positions; said foldable boom having a near end arranged for pivotal movement about a first horizontal axis located on a turret, said turret being rotatable about a vertical axis; said foldable boom having first conveying apparatus to convey an item therealong, internally within said foldable boom, to a remote end of the foldable boom; wherein said foldable boom is foldable about a folding axis, and a pivoting shuttle equipped with a clamp to releasably hold an item is provided at said folding axis to transfer said item between said first conveying apparatus in boom elements connected about said folding axis.
