TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a cement setting time automatic tester and a determination method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of cement setting time determination. BACKGROUND
[0002] The cement setting time is used to represent the time change characteristics of cement after mixing with water, and is a key index for evaluating the performance of cement. The accuracy of the determination result directly affects the quality of construction engineering. The determination standard of cement setting time is JC / T 727-2005 cement paste standard consistency and setting time tester, and the initial setting time and final setting time are determined by manual operation of the Vicat apparatus. The standard determination method needs to go through independent processes of test piece forming, standard curing, initial setting time determination, test piece turning and final setting time determination. The existing cement setting time tester is limited to single process determination of initial setting time or final setting time, and manual operation is required frequently during the process, which has large manual intervention error and poor process continuity.
[0003] Therefore, the Chinese patent document with publication number CN120254233A discloses a full-automatic cement setting time tester, which realizes full-process automation of test piece wet temperature curing, initial setting time determination, automatic 180° turning of test piece and final setting time determination through the cooperative operation of the environment box, test piece positioning system and determination system. The tester adopts a turntable type multi-station design combined with a reverse shaft to avoid traditional manual test mold turning, the accurate positioning of the azimuth module eliminates the manual operation error of sequential testing, the test needle is positioned by a laser displacement meter and an electromagnet sensor to improve the measurement resolution, and the intelligent integrated cement setting time tester effectively solves the process dispersion problem caused by manual intervention and significantly improves the measurement result accuracy.
[0004] However, the tester has the following deficiencies when used to determine the cement setting time: First, when the first test mold completes the initial setting time determination and is turned by 180 degrees, the second test mold has completed the initial setting time determination; when the first test mold completes the final setting time determination, the second test mold is turned by 180 degrees, and the third test mold completes the initial setting time determination. However, since the initial setting time and the final setting time of the cement are both calculated from the time when water is added to the cement as the starting time, it is necessary to place each test mold into the environment box for curing at the same time interval, which leads to a significant extension of the entire cement setting time determination period, and further leads to a significant decrease in determination efficiency. In addition, personnel need to stay near the tester for a long time to place all the test molds into the environment box, which leads to the fact that the tester does not truly achieve full-automatic determination of the cement setting time.
[0005] Second, in the process of turning the test mold 180 degrees, the test piece may move relative to the test mold or even fall out of the test mold, resulting in failure of the cement setting time measurement, and the test piece that falls out may injure other parts or even cause the entire tester to be stuck.
[0006] Third, the entire cement setting time measurement process is complex, the measurement period is long, the measurement efficiency is low, and the initial setting time measurement and the final setting time measurement are linked and controlled, resulting in a high failure rate of the tester.

[0024] The method for measuring the initial setting time of the cement sample by the initial setting time measuring device after the time reaches the initial setting test starting time in the step 300 comprises the following steps: Step 301, the lifting driving assembly drives the clamping assembly, the limiting assembly and the measuring assembly to move downward together, and simultaneously detects the distance from the upper end surface of the measuring assembly to the cement sample by the distance detecting assembly. When the distance from the upper end surface of the measuring assembly to the cement sample is consistent with the length of the measuring assembly, it indicates that the test needle starts to contact the cement sample. At this time, the lifting driving assembly is closed, and the clamping assembly, the limiting assembly and the measuring assembly no longer continue to move downward; Step 302, the clamping assembly releases the measuring assembly, and the measuring assembly freely falls. After S, the distance from the upper end surface of the measuring assembly to the cement sample is detected by the distance detecting assembly Then the controller calculates the distance from the test needle to the glass plate according to the following formula : , Wherein, is the height of the cylindrical test mold body, and L is the length of the measuring assembly; Step 303, first, the clamping assembly clamps the measuring assembly. Then the lifting driving assembly drives the clamping assembly, the limiting assembly and the measuring assembly to move upward together to the position where the test needle and the wiping needle assembly are opposite. Next, the wiping needle assembly acts to clamp the test needle, and the lifting driving assembly drives the clamping assembly, the limiting assembly and the measuring assembly to move up and down reciprocally to wipe the surface of the test needle by the wiping needle assembly. Then the lifting driving assembly is closed, and the wiping needle assembly returns to the initial state. Step 304, the controller judges whether the cement reaches the initial setting state. If 3mm≤ ≤5mm in step 302, it indicates that the cement is suspected to reach the initial setting state. Then step 305 and steps 301 to 304 are executed once in sequence. If the test results of two times both indicate that the cement reaches the initial setting state, the 30S after the clamping assembly releases the measuring assembly in the first test process is taken as the initial setting time, and the measurement of the initial setting time is ended. When the test result of the second time indicates that the cement does not reach the initial setting state, i.e. >5mm, the next initial setting time measurement time is determined according to the value of and the initial setting test interval time, and step 305 and step 306 are executed in sequence. If >5mm in step 302, the next initial setting time measurement time is determined according to the value of and the initial setting test interval time, and step 305 and step 306 are executed in sequence. Step 305, the test mold rotating mechanism drives the test mold to rotate clockwise by an angle, which is 10~30 equal angle of 360 degrees. Step 306, when the time reaches the next initial setting time determined in step 304, repeat steps 301 to 306 until the initial setting time measurement is completed.
[0025] The method for measuring the final setting time of the test piece by the final setting time measuring device when the time reaches the final setting test start time in step 400 comprises the following steps: Step 401, the lifting driving assembly drives the clamping assembly, the limiting assembly and the measuring assembly to move downward together, and at the same time, the distance between the upper end face of the measuring assembly and the test piece is detected by the distance detection assembly. When the distance between the upper end face of the measuring assembly and the test piece is consistent with the length of the measuring assembly, it indicates that the test needle begins to contact the test piece. At this time, the lifting driving assembly is closed, and the clamping assembly, the limiting assembly and the measuring assembly no longer continue to move downward; Step 402, the clamping assembly releases the measuring assembly, and the measuring assembly freely falls, and then the distance between the upper end face of the measuring assembly and the test piece is detected by the distance detection assembly Then the controller calculates the depth of the test needle sinking into the test piece according to the following formula : , Wherein, L is the length of the measuring assembly; Step 403, first, the clamping assembly clamps the measuring assembly, and then the lifting driving assembly drives the clamping assembly, the limiting assembly and the measuring assembly to move upward together to the position where the test needle is opposite to the test needle and the test needle assembly, and at this time, the annular accessory is located on the upper side of the test needle assembly. Next, the test needle assembly moves to clamp the test needle, and the lifting driving assembly drives the clamping assembly, the limiting assembly and the measuring assembly to move up and down reciprocally to clean the surface of the test needle through the test needle assembly. Then, the lifting driving assembly is closed, and the test needle assembly returns to the initial state; Step 404, the controller judges whether the cement reaches the final setting state. If the distance between the upper end face of the measuring assembly and the test piece in step 402 is ≤0.5mm, it indicates that the cement is suspected to reach the final setting state, and steps 405, 401 to 404 are executed in sequence twice immediately. If the test results of three times all indicate that the cement reaches the final setting state, the 30s after the clamping assembly releases the measuring assembly in the first test process is taken as the final setting time, and the final setting time measurement is ended. If the distance between the upper end face of the measuring assembly and the test piece in step 402 is >0.5mm, according to the value of and the final setting test interval time, the next final setting time measurement time is determined, and steps 405 and 406 are executed in sequence. Step 405, the test mold rotating mechanism drives the test mold to rotate clockwise by an angle, which is 10~30 equal angle of 360 degrees. Step 406: When the time reaches the next final setting time determined in step 404, repeat steps 401 to 406 until the final setting time measurement is completed.
[0026] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. After placing the two molds containing cement paste onto the mold rotation mechanism inside the constant temperature and humidity chamber, the instrument can be started to automatically complete the determination of the initial setting time and final setting time of cement. All two molds containing cement paste can be placed into the constant temperature and humidity chamber for curing at the same time, which significantly shortens the entire cement setting time determination cycle and improves the determination efficiency, truly achieving fully automatic determination of cement setting time.
[0027] 2. For the determination of initial setting time and final setting time, two test specimens were prepared separately and independently. Initial setting time measuring devices and final setting time measuring devices were set up independently in constant temperature and humidity chambers. The initial setting time measuring device was used to determine the initial setting time of one test specimen, and the final setting time measuring device was used to determine the final setting time of the other test specimen. During the measurement process, it was not necessary to flip the mold and the test specimen inside it, which ensured that the entire measurement process was safe and smooth.
[0028] 3. The entire cement setting time measurement process is simple, the measurement cycle is short, and the measurement efficiency is high. Furthermore, the initial setting time measurement device and the final setting time measurement device complete the cement setting time measurement separately and independently, and the instrument failure rate is low.
[0029] 4. The frequency of testing and the time for the next initial setting time determination are determined based on the distance from the test needle to the glass plate after it sinks. This can both avoid missing the initial setting time of cement and ensure the accuracy of the initial setting time test results.
[0030] 5. The frequency of testing and the time for the next final setting time determination are determined based on the depth to which the test needle penetrates the test specimen. This can both avoid missing the final setting time of cement and ensure the accuracy of the final setting time test results. Attached Figure Description

[0059] Step 500, the controller 13 calculates the difference between the initial setting time and the water adding time as the measured initial setting time, calculates the difference between the final setting time and the water adding time as the measured final setting time, and transmits the measured initial setting time and final setting time to the touch screen 5 for display.
[0060] Specifically, the whole cement setting time determination process is simple, the determination period is short, and the determination efficiency is high.
[0061] The initial setting test start time in the step 200 is set to 30 min after the water adding time; The initial setting test interval time is set to three, in time sequence, 20 min / 10 mm, 10 min / 7 mm and 2 min / 6 mm; wherein, 20 min / 10 mm means that when the distance from the test needle 252 to the glass plate 111 is ≥10 mm, the test frequency is once every 20 min; 10 min / 7 mm means that when the distance from the test needle 252 to the glass plate 111 is between 7 mm and 10 mm, the test frequency is once every 10 min; 2 min / 6 mm means that when the distance from the test needle 252 to the glass plate 111 is between 6 mm and 7 mm, the test frequency is once every 2 min.
[0062] Specifically, according to the distance from the test needle 252 to the glass plate 111, the test frequency and the next initial setting time determination time are determined, which can avoid missing the initial setting time of the cement and ensure the test result precision of the initial setting time.
[0063] The final setting test start time is 30 min after the initial setting time; The final setting test interval time is set to two, in time sequence, 20 min / 1 mm and 5 min / 0.7 mm; wherein, 20 min / 1 mm means that when the depth of the test needle 252 sinking into the test piece is ≥1 mm, the test frequency is once every 20 min; 5 min / 0.7 mm means that when the depth of the test needle 252 sinking into the test piece is between 0.7 mm and 1 mm, the test frequency is once every 5 min.
[0064] Specifically, according to the depth of the test needle 252 sinking into the test piece, the test frequency and the next final setting time determination time are determined, which can avoid missing the final setting time of the cement and ensure the test result precision of the final setting time.
[0065] The method for the initial setting time determination device to determine the initial setting time of the test piece when the time reaches the initial setting test start time in the step 300 comprises the following steps: Step 301: The lifting drive assembly 21 drives the clamping assembly 23, the limiting assembly 24 and the measuring assembly 25 to move down together, and at the same time, the distance detection assembly 22 detects the distance from the upper surface of the measuring assembly 25 to the test piece. When the distance from the upper surface of the measuring assembly 25 to the test piece is consistent with the length of the measuring assembly 25, it indicates that the test needle 252 has started to contact the test piece. At this time, the lifting drive assembly 21 is closed, and the clamping assembly 23, the limiting assembly 24 and the measuring assembly 25 no longer move down.
[0066] Specifically, the distance from the upper surface of the measuring component 25 to the test piece is detected in real time by a laser rangefinder. At the same time, the slide 211 and the clamping component 23 and the limiting component 24 installed on the slide 211 are driven to move down together by a servo linear module, so as to achieve precise control of the distance from the upper surface of the measuring component 25 to the test piece.
[0067] Step 302: The clamping component 23 releases the measuring component 25, allowing the measuring component 25 to fall freely. After 30 seconds, the distance from the upper surface of the measuring component 25 to the test piece is detected by the distance detection component 22. Then, the distance from the test needle 252 to the glass plate 111 is calculated by the controller 13 using the following formula. : , in, L is the height of the cylindrical test mold 112, and L is the length of the measuring component 25.
[0068] Specifically, the principle of the clamping component 23 releasing the measuring component 25 is as follows: In the initial state, the two grippers B of the pneumatic finger B are engaged to clamp the slide bar 251. When it is necessary to release the slide bar 251, the solenoid valve B controls the pneumatic finger B to move, driving the two grippers B to move away from each other, thereby releasing the measuring component 25.
[0069] Height of cylindrical mold body 112 The length L of the measuring component 25 is a known quantity, which can be used before determining the cement setting time. The measured values of L are input into controller 13. The calculation principle is as follows Figure 9 As shown.
[0070] Step 303, first, the measuring assembly 25 is clamped by the clamping assembly 23, then the lifting driving assembly 21 drives the clamping assembly 23, the limiting assembly 24 and the measuring assembly 25 to move upward together to the position where the test needle 252 is opposite to the needle wiping assembly 12, next, the needle wiping assembly 12 acts to clamp the test needle 252, and the lifting driving assembly 21 drives the clamping assembly 23, the limiting assembly 24 and the measuring assembly 25 to move up and down reciprocatingly to wipe the surface of the test needle 252 by the needle wiping assembly 12, then the lifting driving assembly 21 is closed, and the needle wiping assembly 12 returns to the initial state.
[0071] Specifically, the principle that the clamping assembly 23 clamps the measuring assembly 25 is that the electromagnetic valve B controls the pneumatic finger B to act and drive the two clamping jaws B to move to the direction of approaching each other, so as to clamp the measuring assembly 25.
[0072] The installation position of the needle wiping assembly 12 is fixed, so the height from the test needle 252 to the test piece in the test mold 11 is a known amount, therefore, when the lifting driving assembly 21 drives the clamping assembly 23, the limiting assembly 24 and the measuring assembly 25 to move upward together, the distance from the upper end surface of the measuring assembly 25 to the test piece is detected in real time by the laser distance sensor, so that the test needle 252 can be lifted to the position opposite to the needle wiping assembly 12.
[0073] The principle that the needle wiping assembly 12 acts to clamp the test needle 252 is that in the initial state, the distance between the two sponge wiping blocks 122 installed on the two clamping jaws A121 is greater than the diameter of the slide rod 251, so that the slide rod 251 can move up and down relative to the needle wiping assembly 12, when the needle wiping assembly 12 needs to clamp the test needle 252, the electromagnetic valve A controls the pneumatic finger A to act and drive the two clamping jaws A121 to move to the direction of approaching each other until the two sponge wiping blocks 122 clamp the test needle 252.
[0074] When the needle wiping assembly 12 has clamped the test needle 252, the lifting driving assembly 21 drives the clamping assembly 23, the limiting assembly 24 and the measuring assembly 25 to move up and down reciprocatingly, so that the test needle 252 moves up and down reciprocatingly relative to the two sponge wiping blocks 122, thereby wiping the surface of the test needle 252.
[0075] After the surface of the test needle 252 is wiped, the electromagnetic valve A controls the pneumatic finger A to act and drive the two clamping jaws A121 to move to the direction of moving away from each other, so that the needle wiping assembly 12 returns to the initial state.
[0076] Step 304, the controller 13 judges whether the cement reaches the initial setting state, if 3mm≤ ≤5mm, it indicates that the cement is suspected to reach the initial setting state, and steps 305 and 301-304 are executed once in sequence immediately, if the test results of two times both indicate that the cement reaches the initial setting state, the initial setting time is determined as 30S after the clamping assembly 23 releases the measuring assembly 25 in the first test process, and the initial setting time measurement is ended; and when the second test result indicates that the cement does not reach the initial setting state, i.e. >5mm, the next initial setting time measurement time is determined according to the value of and the initial setting test interval time, and steps 305 and 306 are executed in sequence. If the value of >5mm in step 302, the next initial setting time measurement time is determined according to the value of and the initial setting test interval time, and steps 305 and 306 are executed in sequence.
[0077] Step 305: the test mold rotating mechanism 9 drives the test mold 11 to rotate clockwise by an angle, which is 360 degrees 10-30 equal angle.
[0078] Specifically, the rotation platform 92 is driven to rotate by the servo motor 93, so as to accurately control the rotation angle of the rotation platform 92. The test mold rotating mechanism 9 drives the test mold 11 to rotate clockwise by an angle, which is 360 degrees 10-30 equal angle (for example, each time the test mold 11 rotates clockwise by 18 degrees), so as to ensure that the test needle 252 does not fall into the same needle hole each time the initial setting time is measured. Of course, the test mold rotating mechanism 9 can also drive the test mold 11 to rotate counterclockwise by an angle each time.
[0079] Step 306: when the time reaches the next initial setting time measurement time determined in step 304, steps 301-306 are repeated until the initial setting time measurement is completed.
[0080] The method for measuring the final setting time of the test piece by the final setting time measuring device when the time reaches the final setting test start time in the step 400 includes the following steps: Step 401: the lifting driving assembly 21 drives the clamping assembly 23, the limiting assembly 24 and the measuring assembly 25 to move downward together, and simultaneously detects the distance from the upper end surface of the measuring assembly 25 to the test piece by the distance detecting assembly 22. When the distance from the upper end surface of the measuring assembly 25 to the test piece is consistent with the length of the measuring assembly 25, it indicates that the test needle 252 starts to contact the test piece. At this time, the lifting driving assembly 21 is closed, and the clamping assembly 23, the limiting assembly 24 and the measuring assembly 25 do not continue to move downward.
[0081] Step 402: the clamping assembly 23 releases the measuring assembly 25, and the measuring assembly 25 freely falls, and the distance from the upper end surface of the measuring assembly 25 to the test piece is detected by the distance detecting assembly 22 after 30S Then the controller 13 calculates the depth of the test needle 252 sinking into the piece to be tested according to the following formula : , Wherein, L is the length of the measuring assembly 25.
[0082] Step 403, first, the measuring assembly 25 is clamped by the clamping assembly 23, then the lifting driving assembly 21 drives the clamping assembly 23, the limiting assembly 24 and the measuring assembly 25 to move upward together to the position where the test needle 252 is opposite to the wiping needle assembly 12, and at this time the annular attachment 10 is located on the upper side of the wiping needle assembly 12, next the wiping needle assembly 12 acts to clamp the test needle 252, and the lifting driving assembly 21 drives the clamping assembly 23, the limiting assembly 24 and the measuring assembly 25 to move up and down reciprocatingly to wipe the surface of the test needle 252 by the wiping needle assembly 12, then the lifting driving assembly 21 is closed, and the wiping needle assembly 12 returns to the initial state.
[0083] Step 404, the controller 13 judges whether the cement reaches the final setting state, if the ≤0.5mm in step 402, it indicates that the cement is suspected to reach the final setting state, immediately the steps 405, 401 to 404 are executed in sequence twice, if the three test results all indicate that the cement reaches the final setting state, the 30S after the clamping assembly 23 releases the measuring assembly 25 in the first test process is taken as the final setting time, and the final setting time determination is ended; And if the >0.5mm in step 402, according to the value of and the final setting test interval time, the next final setting time determination time is determined, and the steps 405 and 406 are executed in sequence.
[0084] If the three test results are not all indicating that the cement reaches the final setting state, the value of when the cement does not reach the final setting state is taken to determine the next final setting time determination time, and the steps 405 and 406 are executed in sequence.
[0085] Step 405, the test mold rotating mechanism 9 drives the test mold 11 to rotate clockwise by an angle, which is 360 degrees 10~30 equal angle. Step 406, when the time reaches the next final setting time determination time determined in step 404, the steps 401 to 406 are repeated until the final setting time determination is completed.
[0086] Specifically, during the cement setting time determination process, the controller 13 records and stores the process data of the test; after the cement setting time determination is completed, the USB flash disk is inserted into the USB interface 6, and then the data transmission virtual button on the touch screen 5 is clicked to jump to the data storage interface, and the user can select all data or part of the data according to the need and export to the USB flash disk, and the exported data can be further analyzed by the computer.

At the same time, the distance detection assembly (22) detects the distance from the upper surface of the measuring assembly (25) to the test piece. When the distance from the upper surface of the measuring assembly (25) to the test piece is consistent with the length of the measuring assembly (25), it indicates that the test needle (252) has started to contact the test piece. At this time, the lifting drive assembly (21) is closed, and the clamping assembly (23), the limiting assembly (24), and the measuring assembly (25) no longer move down. Step 302: The clamping component (23) releases the measuring component (25), and the measuring component (25) falls freely. After 30 seconds, the distance from the upper surface of the measuring component (25) to the test piece is detected by the distance detection component (22). Then, the distance from the test needle (252) to the glass plate (111) is calculated by the controller (13) according to the following formula. : , in, L is the height of the cylindrical test mold (112), and L is the length of the measuring component (25); Step 303: First, clamp the measuring component (25) with the clamping component (23). Then, the lifting drive component (21) drives the clamping component (23), the limiting component (24), and the measuring component (25) to move up together to the position where the test needle (252) is directly opposite the wiping component (12). Next, the wiping component (12) clamps the test needle (252) and drives the clamping component (23), the limiting component (24), and the measuring component (25) to move up and down together with the lifting drive component (21) to wipe the surface of the test needle (252) clean with the wiping component (12). Then, the lifting drive component (21) is turned off and the wiping component (12) is returned to its initial state. Step 304: The controller (13) determines whether the cement has reached the initial setting state. If 3mm ≤ 3mm in step 302 If the result is ≤5mm, it indicates that the cement is suspected to have reached the initial setting state. Immediately execute steps 305 and 301 to 304 once in sequence. If both test results indicate that the cement has reached the initial setting state, the initial setting time is taken as 30 seconds after the clamping component (23) is released from the measuring component (25) during the first test, and the initial setting time measurement ends. However, if the result of the second test shows that the cement has not reached the initial setting state, i.e. When >5mm, then according to The value and the initial setting test interval are used to determine the next initial setting time, and steps 305 and 306 are executed sequentially. If in step 302 >5mm, then according to The value and the initial setting test interval are used to determine the next initial setting time, and steps 305 and 306 are executed sequentially.

At the same time, the distance detection assembly (22) detects the distance from the upper surface of the measuring assembly (25) to the test piece. When the distance from the upper surface of the measuring assembly (25) to the test piece is consistent with the length of the measuring assembly (25), it indicates that the test needle (252) has started to contact the test piece. At this time, the lifting drive assembly (21) is closed, and the clamping assembly (23), the limiting assembly (24), and the measuring assembly (25) no longer move down.

Then, the lifting drive component (21) drives the clamping component (23), the limiting component (24), and the measuring component (25) to move up together to the position where the test needle (252) is directly opposite the wiping component (12). At this time, the annular attachment (10) is located on the upper side of the wiping component (12). Next, the wiping component (12) clamps the test needle (252) and drives the clamping component (23), the limiting component (24), and the measuring component (25) to move up and down together with the lifting drive component (21) to wipe the surface of the test needle (252) clean with the wiping component (12). Then, the lifting drive component (21) is turned off and the wiping component (12) is returned to its initial state. Step 404: The controller (13) determines whether the cement has reached its final setting state. If the conditions in step 402 are met... If the result is ≤0.5mm, it indicates that the cement is suspected to have reached the final setting state. Steps 405, 401 to 404 are immediately repeated twice in sequence. If the results of the three tests all indicate that the cement has reached the final setting state, the final setting time is taken as 30 seconds after the clamping component (23) is released from the measuring component (25) during the first test. The final setting time measurement is then ended. And if in step 402 >0.5mm, then according to The value and the final setting test interval are used to determine the next final setting time, and steps 405 and 406 are executed sequentially.
