Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of concrete testing equipment technology, and in particular to a device for testing the elastic modulus of concrete in a freeze-thaw test. Background Technology
[0002] Prolonged exposure to such an environment can damage concrete, posing a threat to the safety of buildings, roads, and bridges. Currently, numerous methods exist in the civil engineering field for evaluating the frost resistance of concrete, primarily the rapid freezing method and the slow freezing method (GB / T 50082-2009 "Standard for Test Methods of Long-Term Performance and Durability of Ordinary Concrete", Chapter 4, Frost Resistance Test). These two methods consider the impact of freeze-thaw cycles on the frost resistance of concrete. When testing the frost resistance of concrete, the elastic modulus of the concrete sample is a crucial evaluation parameter.
[0003] However, in the current technology, when measuring the elastic modulus of concrete, the most widely used concrete elastic modulus testing device on the market and in laboratories is the TM-2 concrete elastic modulus measuring instrument designed and manufactured according to the national standard. This device mainly consists of two rings, an upper and a lower ring, and a dial indicator installed between the two rings. Each of the upper and lower rings is equipped with four long screws. In use, the rings are fixed to the concrete specimen by tightening the four long screws. Since the standard stipulates that "dial indicators should be installed on the center line on both sides of the specimen and symmetrically with the two ends of the specimen" during the test, the center line needs to be marked on the concrete specimen to be tested before using this device for testing, and then the device is fixed to the concrete specimen.
[0004] However, fixing the device onto the concrete specimen is complex and difficult to adjust, usually requiring two people to work together.
[0005] In conclusion, the existing technology obviously has inconveniences and defects in practical use, so it is necessary to improve it. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, the present invention aims to provide a concrete frost resistance test elastic modulus testing device. This device features an adjustable fixing structure to ensure that concrete samples of different sizes can be clamped securely. Furthermore, it incorporates an automatic locking and unlocking structure to ensure that the clamping mechanism remains free during elastic modulus measurement. This increases the accuracy of elastic modulus measurement and simplifies the operation of the fixing structure.

The first limiting groove and the first limiting protrusion cooperate to make the adjusting sleeve slide only without rotating inside the sliding sleeve.
[0014] According to the concrete freeze-thaw resistance test elastic modulus testing device of the present invention, the inside of the sliding sleeve is provided with a second limiting protrusion, and the top rod is provided with a second limiting groove that cooperates with the second limiting protrusion.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
[0026] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3This invention provides a device for testing the elastic modulus of concrete in a frost-free test. The device includes a base 1 with several parallel guide rails 2 on its top. Two sets of sliding members 3 are slidably mounted on the guide rails 2, corresponding to the clamping positions at the upper and lower ends of a workpiece 7. An mounting plate 4 is provided between adjacent sliding members 3 within each set, ensuring the normal installation of the clamping assembly 5 and synchronous sliding between the clamping assembly 5 and the sliding members 3. A mating ring 6 is provided within the space formed by the mounting plates 4, and the mating ring 6 is configured as a circular or square ring structure. A measuring element is provided between the two sets of mounting plates 4, and the measuring element applies pressure to the top of the workpiece 7. During measurement, the deformation state of workpiece 7 is measured. Several clamping components are slidably disposed on the mounting plate 4. Each clamping component includes a push rod 56 screwed to the mounting ring, a driving member 8 that drives the push rod 56 to rotate on the mating ring 6, and a positioning member 53 that positions the mating ring 6. The driving member 8 rotates to drive the push rod 56 to slide inside the mating ring 6 and clamp the workpiece 7. The positioning member 53 disengages from the mounting plate 4 when the push rod 56 presses against the workpiece 7, and cooperates with the mounting plate 4 to position the push rod 56 when the push rod 56 is reset, ensuring that the push rod 56 is located in the middle position of the slide groove 42 when not in use, which facilitates the control of the fixed position of the push rod 56 on the workpiece 7 and increases the measurement accuracy of the workpiece 7.
[0027] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 Preferably, the workpiece 7 of the present invention has a cuboid structure, and the measuring component is a dial indicator, which is installed between two sets of mounting plates 4 (the installation structure is prior art and will not be described in detail here). This ensures that the displacement state of the fixed mounting plates 4 can be reflected, thereby realizing the detection of the elastic modulus of the workpiece 7. The guide rail 2 is provided with four rails. When in use, the mounting plates 4 are parallel to the side wall of the workpiece 7, ensuring that the clamping component 5 can act on the side wall of the workpiece 7 and fix and clamp the workpiece 7. The inner side wall of the mounting plate 4 is provided with a limiter to restrict the rotation of the positioning component 53. Plate 41, the positioning member 53 abuts between the two limiting plates 41 to prevent the positioning member 53 from rotating when the screw 52 rotates, causing its guide inclined side 531 to fail to effectively position the top rod 56. The mounting plate 4 has a sliding groove 42 inside, and a sliding plate 51 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 42. The driving member 8 is fixed on the sliding plate 51 to ensure that when the workpiece 7 is pressed down for measurement, the clamping assembly can slide with the deformation of the workpiece 7 to prevent relative displacement between the workpiece 7 and the clamping assembly, which would affect the measurement accuracy of the workpiece 7.
[0028] In addition, the clamping assembly of the present invention further includes: a screw 52 fixed to the output end of the driving member 8, an adjusting sleeve 54 screwed onto the screw 52, and a sliding sleeve 55 slidably sleeved on the adjusting sleeve 54. The push rod 56 is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding sleeve 55. The adjusting sleeve 54 is rotatably connected to the positioning member 53. The positioning member 53 is rotatably sleeved on the screw 52. The screwing force between the screw 52 and the adjusting sleeve 54 is greater than the screwing force between the push rod 56 and the mating ring 6. In this way, when clamping and positioning the workpiece 7, the push rod 56 is first driven to rotate relative to the mating ring 6, causing the push rod 56 to slide inside the mating ring 6, so that the push rod 56 pushes against the workpiece 7 and clamps the workpiece 7. At this time, the push rod 56 stops rotating under the action of force, and the driving component 8 drives the screw 52 to rotate relative to the adjusting sleeve 54, thereby extending the adjusting sleeve 54 outward. At this time, the positioning component 53 also extends outward, and the positioning component 53 separates from the slide groove 42, so that the slide plate 51 can slide freely inside the slide groove 42.
[0029] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 Furthermore, the positioning member 53 of the present invention is provided with guide bevels 531 at both the upper and lower ends. The guide bevels 531 cooperate with the upper and lower ends of the slide groove 42 to restrict the slide plate 51 to the middle position of the slide groove 42. This ensures that when the clamping assembly 5 is reset, the positioning member 53 is retracted and positioned to the middle position of the slide groove 42 with the cooperation of the guide bevels 531 and the slide groove 42, thereby resetting the clamping assembly 5. The positioning member 53 is provided with an annular groove 532 on the side near the adjusting sleeve 54. The adjusting sleeve 54 is provided with a limiting flange 541 that cooperates with the annular groove 532 and a threaded portion 542 that is screwed to the screw 52. This ensures that the positioning member 53 can rotate relative to the adjusting sleeve 54 while moving synchronously, and that the adjusting sleeve 54 can move relative to the screw 52 under the action of rotation.
[0030] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7Even better, the adjusting sleeve 54 of the present invention is provided with a plug-in portion 544, the plug-in portion 544 is provided with a first limiting groove 543, the sliding sleeve 55 is provided with a first limiting protrusion 551 that cooperates with the first limiting groove 543, the first limiting groove 543 and the first limiting protrusion 551 cooperate to make the adjusting sleeve 54 slide only without rotating inside the sliding sleeve 55, the sliding sleeve 55 is provided with a second limiting protrusion 553 inside, the top rod 56 is provided with a second limiting groove that cooperates with the second limiting protrusion 553, the second limiting protrusion 553 and the second limiting groove cooperate to make the top rod 56 slide only without rotating inside the sliding sleeve 55.
[0031] In this embodiment, combined with Figures 1 to 7 In use, the concrete workpiece 7 to be inspected is first placed at the center of the base 1. Then, the control mechanism controls the two sets of sliding parts 3 (pneumatic or electric cylinders) to slide on the guide rail 2, moving the corresponding clamping assembly 5 to the appropriate position. Simultaneously, the control mechanism controls all the driving parts 8 (rotary motors) to rotate synchronously, driving the rotating sleeve and the push rod 56 to rotate synchronously. Since the push rod 56 and the mating ring 6 are screwed together, the push rod 56 moves inward to fix and clamp the workpiece 7. When the push rod 56 presses against the workpiece 7, the driving parts 8 continue to rotate. Under the pushing force of the push rod 56, the adjusting sleeve 54 rotates relative to the screw 52, and the adjusting sleeve 54 slides inward, causing the positioning part 53 to slide. At this time, the positioning part 53 disengages from the slide groove 42, allowing the slide plate 51 to slide freely inside the slide groove 42, facilitating the inspection of the workpiece 7. Fix and adjust the measuring component (dial indicator) so that the dial indicator is installed between the two mounting plates 4. Press down on the workpiece 7 through the pressure head and measure the change value through the dial indicator to complete the detection process. After the detection is completed, the control mechanism controls the screw 52 to reverse. At this time, the push rod 56 reverses first under the action of rotation force and retracts until the push rod 56 retracts to cooperate with the limiting part of the sliding sleeve 55. The push rod 56 no longer retracts or slides. At this time, the rotating sleeve is inserted into the slot 552 inside the sliding sleeve 55. At this time, the adjusting sleeve 54 rotates relative to the screw 52. The adjusting sleeve 54 retracts, driving the positioning component 53 to retract. Under the action of the guide inclined side 531 and the bottom and top of the slide groove 42, the positioning component 53 gradually slides towards the center position and drives the slide plate 51 to return to the middle position of the slide groove 42 until the positioning component 53 abuts against the slide plate 51, completing the reset process. At the same time, the measurement is completed.
[0032] In summary, this invention provides a device for testing the elastic modulus of concrete in a frost-resistance test, comprising: a base with several parallel guide rails on its top; two sets of sliding members slidably mounted on the guide rails, the two sets of sliding members corresponding to the clamping structures at the upper and lower ends of the workpiece for measurement; a mounting plate between adjacent sliding members in each set of sliding members to ensure normal installation of the clamping components and synchronous sliding of the clamping components and sliding members; a mating ring within the space formed by the several mounting plates, the mating ring being configured as a circular ring structure or a square ring structure; a measuring element between the two sets of mounting plates, which measures the deformation state of the workpiece when the top of the workpiece is compressed by the measuring element; and several clamping components slidably mounted on the mounting plates, each clamping component including a top rod screwed to the mounting ring and a driving mechanism. The invention describes a drive component that rotates the push rod on a mating ring and a positioning component that positions the mating ring. The drive component rotates, causing the push rod to slide inside the mating ring and clamp the workpiece. The positioning component disengages from the mounting plate when the push rod presses against the workpiece and cooperates with the mounting plate to position the push rod when it resets, ensuring that the push rod is in the middle position of the slide groove when not in use. This facilitates control over the position of the push rod on the workpiece and increases the accuracy of workpiece measurement. In summary, the technical effect of this invention is that by setting an adjustable fixing structure, it ensures that concrete samples of different sizes can be fixedly clamped. At the same time, it sets an automatic locking and releasing structure to ensure that the clamping mechanism can be in a free state when measuring the elastic modulus, increasing the accuracy of elastic modulus measurement and simplifying the operation of the fixing structure.
