Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of concrete test block curing technology, and in particular to a curing device and method for concrete test blocks. Background Technology

[0002] Concrete specimen curing room: specially designed for the constant temperature and humidity standard curing of concrete specimens and cement specimens; the curing room meets the latest national standards; it has a wide range of applications and great promotion value in highway transportation, railways, bridges, civil buildings, water conservancy, hydropower, and scientific research units; this standard curing equipment is currently the most advanced concrete and cement standard curing facility on the market, and has passed the national high-tech appraisal. It is a key recommended product of the China Academy of Building Research and the Ministry of Transport Testing Center; this temperature and humidity intelligent controller is a standard curing equipment specially designed for concrete specimens, and meets the national standard GB / T50081-2002 "Standard for Test Methods of Mechanical Properties of Ordinary Concrete": ensuring that the concrete standard curing room has a relative humidity of 95%RH or higher; (1) The most prominent advantage of this equipment is that it adopts the company's patented technology: the ring pipe micro-hole air supply and the "F" type pipe mist supply form. This is different from other concrete standard curing room equipment on the market in that it has the advantages of higher atomization density and more uniform mist distribution, thus ensuring that the specimens obtain better curing effect and ideal test data.

[0003] In existing technologies, concrete test blocks are usually cured in a large, dedicated curing room. Even for small batches of concrete test blocks, the entire curing room needs to be filled with mist to maintain a constant temperature and humidity environment. However, this is very wasteful, resulting in a significant waste of space and energy. Therefore, a curing device and method for concrete test blocks are proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the inability to adjust the internal space of the curing chamber, which leads to energy waste when curing small batches of concrete test blocks. Therefore, this invention proposes a curing device and method for concrete test blocks.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A curing device for concrete test blocks includes a curing box, an adjustment component, and a control component. Multiple partition grooves are formed on the inner walls of both sides of the curing box. A partition is fitted into two partition grooves located on the same horizontal axis. Two vertical plates are fixedly connected to the top of each partition. A concrete test block is placed on the top of the partition. A water pump and a hot air blower are fixedly connected to both sides of the curing box. A connector head one and a connector head two are fixedly connected to the water pump and the hot air blower, respectively. Multiple pipes are fixedly connected to each connector head one and connector head two. A water spray head and a air spray head are fixedly connected to two corresponding pipes, respectively. The adjustment component is mounted on the partition, and the control component works in conjunction with the adjustment component.

[0007] Preferably, the adjustment assembly includes a main shaft, an auxiliary shaft, a top block, and a fixing block. A chamber is formed in the partition plate, and both the main shaft and the auxiliary shaft are rotatably installed within the chamber. A gear one is fixedly connected to the top of the main shaft, and a gear two is fixedly connected to the top of the auxiliary shaft. Gear one and gear two mesh. Two top grooves are formed in the top of the partition plate, and the top block is slidably installed within the top grooves. A rope is fixedly connected to the outside of the auxiliary shaft, with one end of the rope fixedly connected to the top block. A spring is fixedly connected to one side of the top block, with one end of the spring fixedly installed on one inner wall of the top groove. The top of the top block is fixedly connected to the fixing block. Multiple fixing grooves are formed on both inner walls of the maintenance box, and the fixing block engages with the fixing grooves.

[0008] Preferably, the control component includes a valve, an external gear, and a toothed plate. The valve is fixedly installed on the pipe body, the external gear is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the pipe body, and the toothed plate is fixedly installed on the top of the vertical plate. The external gear meshes with the toothed plate.

[0009] Preferably, a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the curing box.

[0010] Preferably, the front side of the maintenance box is fixedly connected to a door by a hinge, and the rear side of the door is in close contact with the partition.

[0011] Preferably, a sliding hole is provided on one side of the vertical plate, and the fixing block is slidably installed in the sliding hole.

[0012] Preferably, rope holes are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the chamber, the rope is in contact with the inner wall of the rope hole, and a drainage hole is provided on the inner wall of the bottom of the top groove.

[0013] The present invention also proposes a curing method for the curing device of any of the above-mentioned concrete test blocks, comprising the following steps:

[0014] S1: First, select the number of partitions according to the number of concrete test blocks. Rotate the main shaft, which drives gear one to rotate. Gear one drives gear two to rotate. Gear two drives the auxiliary shaft to rotate. The auxiliary shaft drives the rope to move. The rope drives the top block to move. The top block compresses the spring. The top block drives the fixed block to move. Then, slowly move the partition into the partition groove.

[0015] S2: The partition moves the vertical plate, which in turn moves the toothed plate. First, the toothed plate meshes with the external gear. Then, as the toothed plate moves, it causes the external gear to rotate, which in turn rotates the valve, opening it. By installing a partition, the valve at the corresponding position can be opened. The partitions are installed sequentially from top to bottom. Then, the main shaft is released, and the spring returns to its original position, causing the top block to move. The top block then moves the fixing block, causing it to engage in the fixing groove, thus fixing the partition.

[0016] S3: The corresponding partition can be installed according to the number of concrete test blocks. When the water pump and hot air fan are started, the moisture and heat can be sprayed out through the water spray head and air jet head above the partition, which is more environmentally friendly.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0018] (1) The present invention proposes a curing device for concrete test blocks. By setting the adjustment component, the main shaft is rotated first, so that the rope can be wound around the auxiliary shaft. At this time, the top block can squeeze the spring, and then the partition is inserted into the partition groove. Then the main shaft is released, the spring is reset, and the fixing block can be inserted into the fixing groove. In this way, the partition can be installed and fixed.

[0019] (2) The present invention proposes a curing device for concrete test blocks. Through the setting of the adjustment component, the corresponding number of partitions can be installed according to the number of concrete test blocks. When there are fewer concrete test blocks, the partitions can be removed from the bottom in sequence.

[0020] (3) The present invention proposes a curing device for concrete test blocks. Through the set control components, during the process of the partition being inserted into the partition groove, the toothed plate first meshes with the external gear, and then the toothed plate drives the external gear to rotate. The external gear drives the valve to rotate, and thus the valve can be opened. When a partition is installed, the valve at the corresponding position can be opened. When no partition is installed below, the valve below is closed. This allows hot air and moisture to be discharged from above the partition. When the number of concrete test blocks is small, the curing of concrete test blocks is relatively energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

[0021] This invention is energy-efficient and environmentally friendly when curing a smaller number of concrete test blocks, avoiding excessive energy waste. Attached Figure Description
