Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of concrete construction technology, and in particular to a large-scale foundation concrete curing device with controllable water volume. Background Technology
[0002] Concrete curing plays a significant role in providing suitable hydration conditions, maintaining a suitable temperature and humidity environment, ensuring the normal hydration of cement to promote the normal hardening of concrete; by promoting the continuous and full development of the hydration reaction, it reduces the impact of adverse factors, ensures the continuous development of concrete strength and avoids loss; it can also enhance the density of concrete and improve its durability such as impermeability, frost resistance, and chemical erosion resistance; at the same time, it can effectively prevent defects such as surface cracking, sanding, and peeling, ensuring the quality and service life of concrete.
[0003] Currently, concrete curing mostly relies on manual watering or film covering, which involves high labor costs, significant water waste, and low efficiency. To achieve water conservation, improved efficiency, reduced labor input, and safe, reliable, and efficient concrete curing, a large-scale, foundation-controlled water-volume concrete curing device is needed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a large-scale foundation concrete curing device with controllable water consumption to solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this application is as follows:
[0006] A large-scale foundation controllable water volume concrete curing device includes a water tank, a drain valve assembly at the bottom of the water tank, a drain pipe connected to the outlet of the drain valve assembly, the drain pipe being wound and arranged, gradually extending outward from the center of the water tank, and a water outlet hole on the drain pipe.
[0007] Preferably, the top of the water tank is provided with a water inlet and a vent.
[0008] Preferably, the drain valve assembly includes a first main pipe, three parallel branch pipes, and a second main pipe. One end of the first main pipe is connected to the water tank, and the other end is connected to the three branch pipes. One end of the second main pipe is connected to the three branch pipes, and the other end is connected to the drain pipe. Each branch pipe is equipped with a valve.

Detailed Implementation
[0026] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present application, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present application.
[0027] like Figure 1-9 As shown, in this large-scale foundation controllable water volume concrete curing device, water tank 1 is used as the core component to store the water required for curing.
[0028] The drain valve assembly 4 at the bottom of the water tank 1 controls the outflow of water. The outlet of the drain valve assembly 4 connects to a drain pipe 5, which is wound and arranged gradually outwards from the center of the water tank 1. This arrangement allows the drain pipe 5 to cover a large concrete curing area 6, ensuring uniform curing of all parts. The water outlet 5-2 on the drain pipe 5 allows water to flow out, providing moist curing for the concrete.
[0029] Compared to traditional manual watering, this method allows for more precise control of water usage, avoiding water waste, while improving curing efficiency and reducing labor input. When concrete needs curing, the drain valve assembly 4 is opened, and water from the water tank 1 enters the drain pipe 5 through the drain valve assembly 4, and then flows out from the water outlet 5-2 on the drain pipe 5, evenly sprinkling it onto the concrete surface to provide suitable hydration conditions for the concrete.
[0030] The water inlet 2 and vent 3 located on the top of the water tank 1 play crucial roles. The water inlet 2 facilitates the injection of water into the tank 1, ensuring sufficient water for concrete curing. The vent 3 removes air from the tank 1 during the water injection process, preventing abnormal pressure buildup that could interfere with water injection and subsequent drainage curing. This design makes the water injection and drainage processes of the tank 1 smoother and safer. Air is expelled from the vent 3 during water injection, and stops venting once the tank is full. During drainage curing, the vent 3 also ensures stable pressure within the tank 1, allowing the drain valve assembly 4 to properly control water flow.
[0031] The drain valve assembly 4 includes a first main pipe 4-1, three parallel branch pipes, and a second main pipe 4-5. One end of the first main pipe 4-1 is connected to the water tank 1, and the other end is connected to the three branch pipes. One end of the second main pipe 4-5 is connected to the three branch pipes, and the other end is connected to the drain pipe 5.
[0032] After water flows out of water tank 1, it is distributed through the first main pipe 4-1 into three parallel branch pipes, and then converged into the drain pipe 5 through the second main pipe 4-5. Valves 4-2 installed on the branch pipes can control the water flow in each branch pipe individually. This design allows for flexible adjustment of the water flow in each branch pipe according to the different needs of the concrete curing area 6, further achieving precise control over water consumption.
[0033] In practice, the number of valves 4-2 that can be opened can be controlled according to the weather temperature and the evaporation of moisture on the concrete surface.
[0034] Valve 4-2 is connected to the branch pipe via pipe union 4-3, a connection method that offers several advantages. Pipe union 4-3 makes installation and disassembly of valve 4-2 more convenient. When valve 4-2 malfunctions and requires repair or replacement, there is no need for extensive disassembly of the entire drain valve assembly 4; valve 4-2 can simply be removed from pipe union 4-3, significantly improving maintenance efficiency and reducing costs. Simultaneously, the union design ensures a tight seal, preventing water leakage at the connection point.
[0035] During normal use, the union is tightly connected to ensure that water can pass smoothly through valve 4-2. When valve 4-2 needs to be repaired or replaced, loosen the union, remove valve 4-2 from the branch pipe, repair or replace it, and then reconnect it through the union.
[0036] The hose reel 4-4, located downstream of valve 4-2, is installed on the branch pipe. The function of hose reel 4-4 is to further regulate the flow and pressure of water in the branch pipe. After water passes through valve 4-2, it enters hose reel 4-4. Hose 4-4, through its special structure, can fine-tune the flow and pressure of the water to meet the precise requirements of different concrete curing areas. This design allows for more precise control of the water flow in the entire drain valve assembly 4, improving the quality of concrete curing. After water passes through valve 4-2, it enters hose reel 4-4. The internal structure of hose reel 4-4 creates a certain resistance to the water flow. By adjusting the structural parameters of hose reel 4-4, the magnitude of this resistance can be changed, thereby achieving the regulation of water flow and pressure.
[0037] The hose 4-4 is very common in pipe connections and is existing technology. Its working principle and specific structure will not be described in this embodiment.
[0038] A rubber sleeve 7 is fitted around the outlet of the drain pipe 5. A slip ring 71 is slidably mounted in the rubber sleeve 7, and an adjustment hole 70 is provided on the slip ring 71. The slip ring 71 can slide in the rubber sleeve 7. By sliding the slip ring 71, the relative position of the adjustment hole 70 and the outlet 5-2 can be changed. Since the drain pipe 5 is placed in the concrete curing area 6, it cannot be completely guaranteed that the outlet 5-2 will not come into contact with the ground. Therefore, the adjustment hole 70 can effectively change the direction of the final water flow and prevent the outlet from being blocked by the ground.
[0039] The rubber sleeve 7 slides relative to the drain pipe 5 to facilitate installation.
[0040] The rubber sleeve 7 is elastic, thus providing a better seal.
[0041] The slip ring 71 has anti-slip textures on its exterior to increase the friction between the ground and the drain pipe 5, preventing the pipe from moving under wind.
[0042] The maintenance device also includes a limiting clamp 8, which has a slot 80. A sliding frame 81 is slidably mounted on the limiting clamp 8 corresponding to the slot 80. An adjusting post 82 is mounted on one side of the sliding frame 81, and the adjusting post 82 passes through the other side with an adjusting bolt 83 at one end. A clamp is rotatably mounted on the sliding frame 81. The limiting clamp 8 is used to position the spacing between adjacent drain pipes 5. The design of the slot 80 allows the sliding frame 81 to slide on the limiting clamp 8, thereby adjusting the position of the clamp.
[0043] The design of the adjusting column 82 and the adjusting bolt 83 allows the operator to lock the position of the sliding frame 81 in the slot 80 by rotating the adjusting bolt 83, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the clamp position.
[0044] The clamps can be used to fix the drainage pipe 5, preventing it from shifting during use and ensuring that the drainage pipe 5 accurately covers the concrete curing area 6. This design makes the installation and fixing of the entire device more convenient and secure, improving the stability and reliability of the device.
[0045] When installing the device, fix the limiting clip 8 in a suitable position, and adjust the position of the clamp by sliding the sliding frame 81 and rotating the adjusting bolt 83 so that the clamp can firmly fix the drainage pipe 5 and ensure that the drainage pipe 5 maintains a stable position during the concrete curing process.
[0046] The clamp includes two elastic plates 84, which can be locked with bolts.
[0047] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this application.
