Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of building equipment, and in particular to an intelligent soaking and water-absorbing device for building bricks. Background Art

[0002] Bricks are needed in construction, because bricks are originally fired, dry and highly absorbent. If the bricks are not soaked in water, the water in the mortar will be easily absorbed by the bricks during masonry. Cement mortar, like concrete, requires a process of curing and hardening in a moist environment, which is inseparable from water. Soaking bricks takes a lot of time, the soaking effect is poor, and the bricks need to be taken out manually after soaking. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a brick soaking device for construction that saves time, has a good soaking effect, and does not require manual removal of bricks after soaking, which saves time and effort. For example, Chinese patent application number CN201711386160.4 is a brick soaking device for construction, including a pool, etc.; a lifting device is provided on the top of the pool, the top of the pool is open, a top plate is installed on the lifting component of the lifting device, a front and rear moving device is provided at the bottom of the top plate, and a mesh frame is installed at the bottom of the moving component of the front and rear moving device, the top of the mesh frame is open, and the mesh frame is located directly above the pool. The mesh frame is driven up and down by the lifting device, and is driven forward and backward by the forward and backward moving device, and a rotating device is provided, thereby improving the effect of brick soaking. However, the bricks of the device do not absorb water sufficiently, and the bricks fail to absorb water effectively at the joints between the bricks. During the movement of the device, brick slag may fall into the pool, and the accumulation of brick slag at the bottom of the pool may cause the outlet pipe to be blocked. The water in the pool is poured out after use, which wastes water resources. The mesh frame for placing bricks is inconvenient to move, resulting in low efficiency.
