Screeding machine for concrete structures with adjustable wings
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11965345B2) describes a novel screeding machine designed for screeding uncured concrete within a framework to create concrete structures. The machine includes a base unit positioned within the framework and a screed head assembly with a grade establishing member, vibrating member, and adjustable wings. Elevation actuators adjust the height of the screed head assembly based on sensors, while a control system manages the grade of the concrete. The machine can move over the concrete, with the wings preventing excess concrete from overflowing when positioned at a frame portion. The control system operates in a float mode at frame portions and a sensor control mode elsewhere, automatically switching between the two.
Furthermore, the patent details a method for using the screeding machine, involving setting up the framework, placing concrete, and operating the machine to screed the concrete. The method includes adjusting the elevation of the screed head assembly, moving the machine over the concrete, and controlling the wings to manage excess concrete. The control system determines the presence of frame portions using sensors or map inputs, ensuring precise operation. This innovative technology aims to streamline the process of creating concrete structures by providing efficient and accurate screeding capabilities within a framework, enhancing overall construction efficiency and quality.
