Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of concrete detection, in particular to a concrete slump tester. Background Art

[0002] In the construction industry, concrete, as a core building material, has a quality that directly impacts the structural safety and service life of buildings. Concrete slump, a key indicator of its performance, quantifies the fluidity and plasticity of the concrete mix, providing a crucial parameter for concrete pouring and construction, ensuring that the concrete possesses excellent molding properties and construction adaptability.

[0003] The concrete quality tester disclosed in the existing patent (authorization announcement number CN222825540U) uses a mechanical structure to drive the tamping rod body to move intermittently along a spiral path at equal intervals, and cooperates with a reciprocating lifting mechanism to realize the alternating downward movement and equidistant offset of the tamping rod. Through standardized control of tamping force, depth and uniformity, the accuracy of the slump test results is effectively improved. However, this detection scheme still has limitations: First, a single test is only for a single sample. The singleness of the sample data makes it difficult for the test results to fully reflect the overall performance of the concrete mixture. When the sample discreteness is large, it is easy to cause detection deviations; second, in the cleaning link after the test is completed, there is a lack of an efficient concrete residue cleaning mechanism. The residual concrete is easy to adhere to the key parts of the detection device, which not only increases the burden of manual cleaning, but also interferes with the subsequent detection process due to the hardening of the residual concrete, significantly reducing the detection efficiency and making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale, continuous engineering testing.

[0004] Based on this, a concrete slump tester is now provided to eliminate the drawbacks of existing devices. Summary of the Invention

The tamping mechanism allows the concrete in the slump cone 205 to be filled smoothly, and the concrete discharge in the discharge barrel 407 can also be dredged, which greatly improves the operating efficiency. The outer side of the discharge barrel 407 is provided with a scraper for scraping off the concrete overflowing from the upper end of the slump cone 205. The mechanism can make the upper end of the slump cone 205 flat. The end of the conveyor belt 101 is provided with a collection mechanism for collecting concrete.

The support vertical plate 402 is provided with a camera measurement component 500 for quickly detecting the height of concrete. In this way, the flow of the concrete column within a predetermined time can be quickly detected as needed, thereby detecting the slump of the concrete.

The blocking block 413 matches the inner diameter of the discharge barrel 407. A dredging side rod 412 is provided on the outer side of the transmission slide 411 near the blocking block 413 to assist the falling of concrete. The transmission slide 411 is connected to a reciprocating pusher for driving its reciprocating motion.

Under the drive of the flip motor 420, the worm 419 matches the worm gear 418 to drive the transmission shaft 417 to rotate, and the transmission shaft 417 drives the eccentric turntable 404 to rotate, thereby providing a power source for reciprocating propulsion. In addition, the self-locking effect of the worm gear transmission pair is utilized here to lock the position of the blocking block 413, so that the lower end of the discharge barrel 407 can be blocked later.

[0044] The eccentric adjustment unit includes an eccentric slider 424 slidably arranged on the surface of the eccentric rotating disk 404, and the eccentric slider 424 is provided with a mounting hole rotatably connected to the driving side shaft 423. The eccentric slider 424 is threadedly arranged on the eccentric screw 425, and the eccentric screw 425 is arranged along the diameter direction of the eccentric rotating disk 404. The eccentric screw 425 is connected to the eccentric motor 426 for driving it to rotate, and the other end of the eccentric screw 425 is rotatably connected to the bearing block on the surface of the eccentric rotating disk 404. Under the drive of the eccentric motor 426, the eccentric screw 425 and the eccentric slider 424 rotate relative to each other. Under the action of the thread, the eccentric slider 424 slides along the surface of the eccentric rotating disk 404, thereby adjusting the amplitude of the reciprocating movement;

[0045] The lifting mechanism includes a cache slide 401 connected to the cache barrel 400, two lifting guide rods 405 are vertically provided on the outer side of the support vertical plate 402, and the ends of the two lifting guide rods 405 are fixedly connected to the mounting blocks on the surface of the support vertical plate 402, and the cache slide 401 is slidably set on the lifting guide rods 405, and a lifting screw 406 is threaded on the cache slide 401, and the lower end of the lifting screw 406 is rotatably connected to the mounting block, and the upper end of the lifting screw 406 is connected to a lifting motor 403 for driving it to rotate. Under the drive of the lifting motor 403, the lifting screw 406 and the cache slide 401 rotate relative to each other, and under the action of the thread, the cache slide 401 slides up and down along the lifting guide rods 405, thereby providing power for adjusting the height of the cache barrel 400;

[0046] The horizontal mechanism includes two horizontal guide rods 408 fixed to the outside of the mounting side plate 1002, the horizontal guide rods 408 and the support vertical plate 402 are slidably arranged, and the two ends of the horizontal guide rods 408 are connected and fixed to the fixed blocks on the outside of the mounting side plate 100, and a horizontal screw rod 409 is threaded on the support vertical plate 402, one end of the horizontal screw rod 409 is rotatably connected to the fixed block, and the other end of the horizontal screw rod 409 is connected to a horizontal motor 410 for driving the rotation thereof. Driven by the horizontal motor 410, the horizontal screw rod 409 and the support vertical plate 402 rotate relative to each other, and under the action of the thread, the support vertical plate 402 slides horizontally along the horizontal guide rods 408, providing power for the horizontal displacement of the support vertical plate 402;

[0047] The separation mechanism includes a lifting bracket 201 arranged above the mounting side plate 100, and the two ends of the lifting bracket 201 are connected and fixed to the mounting side plate 100 through vertical guide rods 204. A collapse lifting push rod 200 is installed at the center position of the upper end of the lifting bracket 201, and the output end of the collapse lifting push rod 200 is connected to the floating cross bar 203. The two ends of the floating cross bar 203 are slidingly arranged with the vertical guide rod 204. A plurality of lifting cross bars 202 connected to the collapse cone 205 are provided on the outside of the vertical guide rod 204. Under the push of the collapse lifting push rod 200, the floating cross bar 203 slides along the vertical guide rod 204, and the vertical guide rod 204 drives the collapse cone 205 to move up and down through the lifting cross bar 202.

[0048] Working principle: In actual use, the lower ends of multiple slump cones 205 are placed flat on the upper end of the conveyor belt 101, and then the concrete to be tested is added to the buffer cylinder 400. The position of the buffer cylinder 400 is adjusted by the lifting mechanism and the horizontal mechanism. Then, the discharge barrel 407 is aligned with the upper end of the slump cone 205, and the transmission slide 411 is driven up and down by the reciprocating pusher. In this way, the concrete inside the discharge barrel 407 can be stirred to improve the smoothness of the discharge. The falling concrete enters the slump cone 205 along the discharge barrel 407 to complete the filling of the concrete. Processing, the amplitude of the reciprocating movement of the transmission slide 411 is adjusted up and down by the eccentric adjustment unit, so that the blocking block 413 and the dredging side rod 412 will also extend into the slump cone 205, thereby assisting in compacting the concrete in the slump cone 205. After the state is completed, the height of the trowel plate 415 is adjusted by the lifting mechanism, and then the movement of the horizontal mechanism is coordinated to smooth the concrete overflowing from the upper end of the slump cone 205. The excess concrete will fall on the surface of the conveyor belt 101. With the transmission of the conveyor belt 101 and the collection of the collection mechanism, the excess concrete will be transferred away and will not affect subsequent inspections.

[0049] After the preparation work is completed, the separation mechanism drives the slump cone 205 to move upward, thereby separating the concrete column from the slump cone 205. At this time, the concrete column will automatically collapse. After a predetermined time, the height of multiple concrete columns is obtained through the camera measurement component 500, and then an average value is taken to improve the accuracy of the test;

[0050] Measuring component to detect concrete column height logic:

[0051] (1) Image acquisition: The video measurement component is equipped with a high-definition camera, which starts shooting at a predetermined time (e.g., 15-30 seconds after the collapse is completed, until the concrete shape stabilizes). The camera is fixedly installed to ensure that the shooting angle is perpendicular to the top plane of the concrete column and the center of the lens is aligned with the initial central axis of the collapse cylinder to ensure that there is no obvious visual distortion of the concrete column in the image. At the same time, to ensure image clarity and color reproduction, the camera is equipped with auxiliary lighting equipment to provide uniform and stable lighting during shooting.

[0052] (2) Image preprocessing: Grayscale the collected raw images, converting color images into grayscale images to reduce the amount of data and highlight grayscale differences within the image for subsequent analysis. Next, a filtering algorithm (such as median filtering or Gaussian filtering) is used to remove noise from the image, smooth image edges, and prevent noise interference from affecting height detection.

[0053] (3) Edge Detection and Contour Extraction: An edge detection algorithm (such as the Canny edge detection algorithm) is used to identify the edges of the concrete columns in the image. This algorithm uses Gaussian filtering to suppress noise, calculates gradient magnitude and direction, refines edges using non-maximum suppression, and uses a dual-threshold algorithm and hysteresis thresholding to determine the final edge, thereby accurately capturing the edge contours of the concrete columns. Then, based on the extracted edges, a contour tracking algorithm is used to obtain the complete contour information of the concrete columns.

[0054] (IV) Height Calculation: The extracted concrete column contour is analyzed based on the proportional relationship between the preset image coordinate system and the actual physical dimensions (during the equipment installation and commissioning phase, a mapping relationship between image pixel distance and actual physical distance is established by measuring a standard object of known height). The highest point of the concrete column contour is searched upward from the bottom of the image. The actual height of the concrete column is calculated based on the position of this point in the image coordinate system and the aforementioned proportional relationship. To improve measurement accuracy, height measurements can be taken at multiple locations on the concrete column (such as the center or multiple points equidistantly distributed along the edge), and the average value is taken as the concrete column height for that measurement.

[0055] 2. Mathematical model for slump calculation Assume that the height data of the concrete column obtained by the camera measurement component through the above process are h1, h2, ..., h n(n is the number of measurements), the initial height of the slump cone is H (fixed value, generally the slump cone height is 300mm). First calculate the average height of the concrete column The calculation formula is:

[0056] Then, the calculation of the concrete slump S is based on the difference between the initial height of the slump cone and the average height of the concrete column, as follows:

[0057] For example, if the slump cone height H = 300mm, the camera measurement component obtains 5 concrete column height data of 220mm, 218mm, 222mm, 221mm, and 219mm respectively through the above detection process, then the average value is

[0058] Slump S=300-220=80mm.

[0059] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
