Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of automatic watering and curing construction of vertical components such as concrete and wall plastering in construction projects, and in particular to an automatic moisturizing and curing system for vertical concrete components. Background Art

[0002] In construction, the surface of concrete and cement mortar needs to be cured after the concrete structure is poured and after plastering, which usually lasts for 7 or 14 days. Watering is usually used for construction site maintenance to keep the surface of concrete and plaster moist. For vertical surfaces, plastic sheeting or application of curing agents can generally be used, but both methods form a protective film on the surface to prevent the moisture in the concrete or mortar from escaping, and cannot effectively replenish moisture during the process of concrete or mortar strength formation. Therefore, the best curing method for vertical surfaces is still watering. When watering vertical surfaces, the water cannot stay, and the water film formed on the surface stays on the surface of the component for a very short time, which requires manual watering, which is a great waste of labor costs. The frequency of watering directly affects the effect of curing and mainly depends on the sense of responsibility of the watering workers. Due to individual differences in the sense of responsibility of workers, the overall effect is difficult to guarantee. Summary of the Invention

[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "inside", "outside", "left" and "right" indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0030] like Figure 1-8As shown, the present invention discloses an automatic moisturizing and curing system for vertical concrete components. The system replaces the original workers' hand-held water pipe spraying with an integrated water spraying device 4. The water spraying device 4 is installed on the front side of the main frame 1 for sliding up and down, and a water tank 3 is installed on the rear side of the main frame 1 for sliding up and down. The water tank 3 and the water spraying device 4 are connected by a pulley and a pull rope 2. The water tank is provided with an automatic water inlet mechanism and an automatic drainage mechanism. Through the automatic water inlet and automatic drainage of the water tank, the balance between the water tank 3 and the water spraying device 4 is broken after the water amount in the water tank changes, thereby driving the water spraying device 4 to move up and down to spray water and maintain the vertical components.

[0031] The main frame 1 is a vertical rectangular structure consisting of vertical legs and horizontal rods. A fixed foot running forward and backward is provided at the bottom of the rectangular structure, and a diagonal brace is provided between the fixed foot and the vertical leg. To ensure the rigidity of the frame, stiffening ribs are welded at the connection between the bottom and top of the vertical legs and the horizontal rod. Vertical slide rails are welded to the front and rear sides of the vertical legs. The front vertical slide rail is used for sliding connection to the water spray device 4, and the rear vertical slide rail is used for sliding connection to the water tank 3. Secondary limit blocks are provided at the upper and lower ends of the vertical slide rails to limit the position of the water tank and the water spray device. Pulleys are welded to the lower surface of the horizontal rod at the top of the rectangular frame, and a pull rope 2 is wound around the outside of the pulley. The entire frame is connected to the ground via anchor bolts.

[0032] The water tank 3 is connected to the vertical slide rail of the main frame 1 through the water tank slide. Rollers are installed on both sides of the water tank slide. The specifications of the rollers are adapted to the vertical slide rails on the main frame. Hooks are welded on the side frames of the water tank slide to fix the water tank. A circular hole is processed at the bottom of the water tank slide for installing a counterweight.

[0033] An inlet valve 17 is located at the upper left side of the water tank 3. This valve connects to the water storage tank 9 via the water tank inlet pipe 11. This valve is connected to an inlet valve control link 12, which is pivotally connected to the left side of the water tank. A first roller 13 is located outside this link. A drain valve 15 is located at the bottom right side of the water tank, connecting to the water storage tank via the water tank drain pipe 8. This valve extends upward to the upper portion of the water tank. Its extension connects to a drain valve control link 18, which is pivotally connected to the right side of the water tank. A first roller 13 is also located outside this link. Both the inlet and drain valve control links are equipped with return torsion springs 16 at their junctions. These links work in conjunction with the tank's control limiters to ensure the water tank's inflow and outflow.

[0034] The water tank control limit is two first limit blocks 14 installed on the two slide rails on the rear side of the main frame. The two opposite side surfaces of the two first limit blocks are provided with inclined surfaces at their upper ends, and the angle between the inclined surfaces and the horizontal plane is 45°.

[0035] There are two types of water spraying devices according to the different shapes of the components, and each type of water spraying device is equipped with a counterweight. Figure 6-7 The figure shows a water spraying device for plate-shaped components. A set of second rollers 22 are connected to both ends of the water spraying rod. The upper end of the water spraying rod is connected to the pull rope 2 through a suspension rod 20. Two water spraying pipe supports 21 are vertically installed on the water spraying rod. Pipe clamps 19 are installed on the water spraying pipe supports to fix the water pipes through the clamps. Figure 8 The figure shows a water spraying device for rectangular concrete components 5. In this device, multiple fixing holes are processed on the water spraying rod. The L-shaped adjustment support 23 is connected to different fixing holes, so that components of different widths can be placed in the frame composed of the L-shaped adjustment support 23 and the water spraying rod. The water spraying rod and the water spraying pipe support 21 on the L-shaped adjustment support 23 set up the water pipe to spray water on all sides of the component for maintenance.

[0036] When using this device, first install the water tank carriage and the water spray carriage on the main frame 1. Then, pass a wire rope 2 through the pulley at the top of the main frame. The assembled main frame is erected and placed in the location of the component, and secured with anchor bolts. The water tank carriage is moved to its lowest position. At this point, the water spray carriage is driven to the top of the main frame by the wire rope. First limit blocks 14 are installed on both sides of the water tank carriage. A water spray pipe with a scattering nozzle is installed on the water spray carriage using pipe clamps 19. The water tank 3 is then installed on the water tank carriage. After the mechanism is installed, connect the temporary water supply system to the water tank inlet valve 17 and the water spray pipe. Connect the water tank drain valve 15 to the drainage system. Both the temporary water supply system and the drainage system are connected to the water storage tank 9.

[0037] After the installation is completed, first fill the water tank 3 with water to about half, adjust the counterweights on the water tank slide and the water spray slide to make both sides reach a balanced state, and then pull the water tank slide to the bottom. At this time, due to the squeezing of the water inlet valve control link 12 and the drain valve control link 18 by the first limit block 14, the first roller 13 slides inside the first limit block 14 along the inclined surface of the first limit block 14, and the roller ends of the water inlet valve control link 12 and the drain valve control link 18 are rotated inward, the drain valve 15 is opened, the water inlet valve 17 is closed, and the water The water in tank 3 is emptied, and the weight of the water tank is less than that of the water spraying device. The water tank carriage and the water spraying device lose balance, causing the water tank carriage to move upward and the water spraying device to move downward. When the water tank carriage moves beyond the area where the first stop block 14 is located, the first roller 13 is freed from the restraint of the first stop block 14. Under the action of the return torsion spring 16, the water inlet valve control link 12 and the water drain valve control link 18 are both reset, the water drain valve 15 is closed, the water inlet valve 17 is opened, and the water tank 3 begins to fill with water. The water inflow rate of the water tank is adjusted by the regulating valve to allow both carriages to move through their full travel. When the water tank carriage reaches the top, the water level in the water tank exceeds halfway, and the weight of the water tank exceeds that of the water spraying device, one side of the water tank carriage begins to move downward. When it reaches the area where the first stop block 14 is located, the water inlet valve 17 is closed again, the water drain valve 15 is opened again, the water tank is emptied again, and the water tank carriage begins to move upward while the water spraying device moves downward, thus achieving reciprocating motion of the entire mechanism.

[0038] The water storage tank 9 should be arranged at a lower position to ensure smooth drainage of the water tank. The water pump electronic control device can be provided with a start-stop control valve with a time setting function to provide water pressure for this device to achieve intermittent circulation.

[0039] The above description of the disclosed embodiments is intended to enable one skilled in the art to implement or use the present application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is intended to conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
