The invention discloses an intelligent concrete distribution control system and method for a transverse folding arm concrete spreader, and belongs to the field of construction engineering machinery. The intelligent concrete distribution system comprises an intelligent terminal, a PLC, a first driver, a second driver, a flow valve, an angle sensor and a flow sensor. According to the system and method, control parameters are sent to the PLC through the intelligent terminal, the first driver and the second driver are controlled by the PLC, and angle control over a rotary mechanism and opening degree control over the flow valve are realized, so that automatic intelligent concrete distribution can be realized through the horizontal folding arm concrete spreader, the concrete distribution position and flow can be precisely controlled, the labor cost is reduced, the concrete distribution efficiency is improved, and the industrialization level of the construction concrete spreader is improved.Meanwhile, the rotation angle of an arm frame, the concrete pouring flow, the position of a discharging port of a pump pipe and the concrete pouring progress can be monitored, precise concrete pouring is achieved, and the concrete pouring quality is improved.
