STRUCTURE CONSTRUCTION APPARATUS
A structure construction apparatus according to one embodiment comprises: a frame unit provided on the ground on which a structure is to be constructed; a formwork unit which is mounted on the frame unit, and which maintains structural materials in a form to be constructed; and a compacting unit disposed to be adjacent to the formwork unit so as to compact the structural materials provided in the formwork unit, wherein the formwork unit and the compacting unit are moved by means of the frame unit so that the structure can be automatically constructed.
MOULDING APPARATUS
An apparatus for delivering a mould including a first and a second part into a dosing position. The apparatus includes a reorientation conveyor portion comprising first and second opposed retainer members. At least one of the first and second retainer members includes a conveyor. The first and second retainer members are operable to form a separation therebetween and the reorientation conveyor portion is operable to receive the mould into the separation between the first and second retainer members with the first and second retainer members in a first orientation and then move the first and second retainer members into a second orientation while substantially maintaining the first part of the mould in the same position relative to the second part of the mould. The apparatus further includes a mould-separation portion. The reorientation conveyor portion is operable to at least partially eject the mould into the mould-separation portion when the first and second retainer members are in the second orientation. The mould-separation portion is operable to actuate at least partial separation of the first and second parts of the mould.
Structure construction apparatus
A structure construction apparatus including a frame unit, a formwork unit and a compacting unit is provided. The frame unit is provided on a ground on which a structure is to be constructed. The formwork unit is mounted on the frame unit, and maintains structural materials in a form to be constructed. The compacting unit is disposed to be adjacent to the formwork unit so as to compact the structural materials provided in the formwork unit. The formwork unit and the compacting unit are configured to move through the frame unit so as to automatically construct the structure.
