[0052] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0053] The apparatus and method for preparing ready-mixed concrete by injecting carbon dioxide according to the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a device for preparing ready-mixed concrete by injecting carbon dioxide, the device comprising:

[0055] The carbon dioxide injection device 1 includes a storage tank 11 for storing carbon dioxide and a pressure reducing valve 12 located at the outlet of the storage tank 11.

[0056] The transition chamber device 2 includes a transition chamber body 21 and an outer chamber door 22. The transition chamber body 21 forms a transition chamber space that communicates with the carbon dioxide injection device 1. The outer chamber door 22 is provided on the transition chamber body 21 and is used to open or close the transition chamber space.

[0057] The environmental chamber device 3 includes an environmental chamber body 31, an inner chamber door 32, and a mixing mechanism 33. The environmental chamber body 31 forms an environmental chamber space that communicates with the transition chamber space. The mixing mechanism 33 is located in the environmental chamber space and is used to mix ready-mixed concrete. The inner chamber door 32 is located between the environmental chamber body 31 and the transition chamber 21 and is used to open or close the environmental chamber space.

[0058] The material handling device is used to transfer concrete raw materials in the transition chamber space to the environmental chamber space and to transfer ready-mixed concrete prepared in the environmental chamber space to the transition chamber space when the outer chamber door 22 is closed.

[0059] When the above-mentioned equipment for preparing pre-mixed concrete by injecting carbon dioxide is used, since the equipment comprises the transition bin device 2, the environment bin device 3 and the material taking device, when the discharging operation is performed, the carbon dioxide of a preset test concentration is first injected into the transition bin space, the carbon dioxide concentrations in the transition bin space and the environment bin space are made the same, and then the transfer of the concrete raw materials is performed, when the sampling operation is performed, the pre-mixed concrete is first transferred from the environment bin space to the transition bin space, and then transferred from the transition bin space to the outside, during the whole discharging and sampling process, since the inner bin door 32, the transition bin body 21 and the outer bin door 22 are arranged, the environment bin space is always in the isolated state from the outside, and the carbon dioxide concentration in the environment bin space is always kept around the preset value, so that the quality of the pre-mixed concrete is effectively improved, and since the preparation environment is stable, the obtained experimental data is also more reliable. In addition, the prepared pre-mixed concrete can also be directly injected into a mold in the environment bin space, and after solidification, the mold is demolded and the carbon dioxide curing is performed in the environment bin at the same time, so that the compressive strength of the concrete precast member is improved.

[0060] Specifically, the carbon dioxide injection device 1 can also be connected with the transition bin body 21 and the environment bin body 31 at the same time, so as to separately adjust the carbon dioxide concentration in the transition bin space and the carbon dioxide concentration in the environment bin space.

[0061] It should be noted that the present application provides an equipment for preparing pre-mixed concrete by injecting carbon dioxide, which is especially suitable for the trial production and experiment of the pre-mixed concrete, but can also be applied in actual production.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present application, the environment bin body 31 is formed with a first taking and placing opening 311, and the material taking device comprises a first taking and placing glove, which corresponds to and seals the first taking and placing opening 311 and is arranged on the environment bin body 31. Then through the first taking and placing glove, the operator can transfer the pre-mixed concrete or the concrete raw materials between the environment bin space and the transition bin space, and also can add mixing water and admixtures during the preparation of the pre-mixed concrete, so that the operation is more convenient.

[0063] Specifically, the environment bin body 31 is formed with two spaced first taking and placing openings 311, and two first taking and placing gloves correspond to and seal the two first taking and placing openings 311, so as to facilitate the operator to operate with both hands. Referring to Figure 7 , the concrete raw materials can also be placed in the environment bin space in addition to the stirring mechanism 33, and the operator can configure the pre-mixed concrete as needed through the two first taking and placing gloves. In addition, the material taking device can also be arranged as a mechanical hand in the environment bin space, and the mechanical hand is in communication connection with the control host, so as to control the mechanical hand to perform corresponding operations in the environment bin space.

[0064] In the embodiment of the present application, the observation window is formed above the first taking and placing opening 311 on the environmental bin body 31, and the environmental bin device 3 further comprises a glass plate 34 corresponding to the sealed observation window. The observation window is arranged to facilitate the operator to observe the inside of the environmental bin space, so as to facilitate the operation through the first taking and placing glove. The glass plate 34 is arranged to ensure that the environmental bin space is in a sealed state, so as to build a carbon dioxide environment meeting the preset test concentration. In addition, when the taking device is a mechanical hand, a camera can also be arranged on the environmental bin body 31, the camera is in communication connection with the control host, and the picture taken by the camera can be transmitted to the control host in real time. The operator realizes remote operation through the control host.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present application, the second taking and placing opening 211 is formed on the transition bin body 21, and the taking device further comprises a second taking and placing glove corresponding to the sealed second taking and placing opening 211 and arranged on the transition bin body 21. The arrangement of the second taking and placing opening 211 and the second taking and placing glove facilitates the operator to transfer the concrete raw materials and the premixed concrete. At the same time, the equipment can be operated by two operators at the same time. The two operators use the first taking and placing glove and the second taking and placing glove to cooperate, so as to improve the work efficiency. Specifically, the number of the second taking and placing opening 211 and the second taking and placing glove is also two.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present application, the equipment further comprises a carbon dioxide recovery device 5, the carbon dioxide recovery device 5 comprises a suction member and a recovery container, the recovery container is used for containing a carbon dioxide absorption solution, and the suction member is connected with the transition bin space and is used for sucking the carbon dioxide in the transition bin space to the recovery container. The arrangement of the carbon dioxide recovery device 5 can reduce carbon emissions. Specifically, the carbon dioxide absorption solution can be any one or more of sodium hydroxide solution, calcium hydroxide solution and the like alkaline solution.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present application, the equipment further comprises an exhaust device, the exhaust device comprises a vacuum pump 41 and an exhaust valve 42, the exhaust valve 42 is arranged on the environmental bin body 31, and the vacuum pump 41 is connected with the exhaust valve 42 to perform exhaust treatment on the environmental bin space when the exhaust valve 42 is opened. The vacuum pump 41 exhausts the environmental bin space, and the concentration of carbon dioxide in the environmental bin space is controlled by controlling the amount of air exhausted and the amount of carbon dioxide introduced.

[0068] Specifically, the equipment further comprises a pressure detection sensor for detecting the pressure in the environmental bin space. When the vacuum pump 41 exhausts, the pressure in the environmental bin space decreases, and when the carbon dioxide injection device 1 injects carbon dioxide, the pressure in the environmental bin space rises. Since the initial gas in the environmental bin space is mainly nitrogen and oxygen, the concentration of carbon dioxide can be calculated by calculating the change of the pressure.

[0069] To achieve the above object, the application further provides a method for preparing pre-mixed concrete by injecting carbon dioxide, which is applied to the above-mentioned device for preparing pre-mixed concrete by injecting carbon dioxide and comprises the following steps.

[0070] In step S100, the inner chamber door 32 is opened and carbon dioxide with a preset test concentration is introduced into the environment chamber space.

[0071] The carbon dioxide concentration directly affects the absorption rate of the pre-mixed concrete to carbon dioxide, and further affects the compressive strength of the pre-mixed concrete. Specifically, the preset test concentration is valued between 20% and 100%. In an embodiment of the application, the preset test concentration is respectively 0%, 20%, 60%, 80% and 100%, as shown in Table 1. When the carbon dioxide concentration is 20%, the compressive strength of the pre-mixed concrete is the highest, and therefore, the preset test concentration is preferably 20% in the application. Figure 3 、 Figure 4 When the carbon dioxide concentration is 20%, the compressive strength of the pre-mixed concrete is the highest, and therefore, the preset test concentration is preferably 20% in the application.

[0072] Table 1

[0073] Carbon dioxide concentration Carbon dioxide absorption Compressive strength 0% / 60 MPa 20% 0.5% 64 MPa 60% 0.94% 51.3 MPa 80% 1.5% 49.6 MPa 100% 1.6% 47 MPa

[0074] In step S200, the inner chamber door 32 is closed and the outer chamber door 22 is opened, and the concrete raw materials are placed in the transition chamber space.

[0075] In step S300, the outer chamber door 22 is closed and carbon dioxide with a preset test concentration is introduced into the transition chamber space.

[0076] Step S300 is used to ensure that the carbon dioxide concentrations in the transition chamber space and the environment chamber space are the same. When the inner chamber door 32 is opened, the carbon dioxide concentration in the environment chamber space is still maintained stable, which ensures the quality of the pre-mixed concrete and the accuracy of the experimental data.

[0077] In step S400, the inner chamber door 32 is opened and the concrete raw materials are transferred to the environment chamber space by the material taking device.

[0078] In step S500, the inner chamber door 32 is closed and the pre-mixed concrete is prepared by the stirring mechanism 33.

[0079] Specifically, the preparation of the pre-mixed concrete by the stirring mechanism 33 comprises: stirring and mixing the dry materials in the concrete raw materials, which include cement, gravel and sand; after the dry materials are uniformly mixed, the water for mixing is added by the first taking and placing glove in batches, so that the free water content in the concrete mixture is at a low level, and the carbon dioxide absorption efficiency is improved. Further, the water adding and stirring time is 240 seconds, and the water for mixing is added in four times, of which 25% of the water for mixing is added at the beginning of stirring, and then the remaining water for mixing is added in batches with an interval of 60 seconds each time.

[0080] Step S600, opening the inner bin door 32 and transferring the prepared ready-mixed concrete into the transition bin space through the taking device;

[0081] Step S700, closing the inner bin door 32 and opening the outer bin door 22 to take out the ready-mixed concrete.

[0082] Therefore, through the above steps, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the environment bin space is not affected during the entire preparation process of the ready-mixed concrete, whether it is feeding or taking, which ensures the preparation quality of the ready-mixed concrete and the accuracy of the experimental data. In addition, the entire mixing process is in a carbon dioxide environment, and the carbon dioxide fully contacts and reacts with the concrete raw materials to generate nanoscale calcium carbonate and adhere to the surface of the mineral components. The generated nanoscale calcium carbonate has high stability and can stably exist during the subsequent hardening process. The nanoscale calcium carbonate fills the pores between the cement particles of the ready-mixed concrete, making the structure of the hardened concrete more compact and the microstructure more continuous, which helps to improve the mechanical strength and durability of the concrete structure.

[0083] In an embodiment of the present application, a mold is further arranged in the environment bin space, and step S500 further comprises: in the environment bin space, an operator injects the mixed ready-mixed concrete into the mold through the first taking and placing glove, demolds after solidification, and performs carbon dioxide curing in the environment bin to obtain a concrete building material finished product. The carbon dioxide curing of the concrete building material product further improves the mechanical properties of the finished product and further absorbs carbon dioxide, in line with the concept of green building materials. Specifically, the carbon dioxide curing time is 24 hours, and the test shows that the compressive strength of the finished product is increased by 18%.

[0084] In the embodiment of the present application, step S100: opening the inner bin door 32 and introducing carbon dioxide of a preset test concentration into the environment bin space, specifically comprising:

[0085] Step S110, closing the outer bin door 22 and opening the inner bin door 32;

[0086] Step S120, performing exhaust treatment on the environment bin space and the transition bin space through the vacuum pump 41 to reduce the air pressure in the environment bin space and the transition bin space to a first preset pressure;

[0087] Step S130, introducing carbon dioxide into the environment bin space to restore the air pressure in the environment bin space from the first preset pressure to atmospheric pressure;

[0088] Step S140, in the case that the real-time pressure in the environment bin space is less than atmospheric pressure, continue to introduce carbon dioxide until the real-time pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure, so that the concentration of carbon dioxide in the environment bin space reaches the preset test concentration.

[0089] The above step controls the carbon dioxide concentration in the environment chamber space by controlling the pressure, and the pressure during the preparation of the ready-mixed concrete is maintained at the atmospheric pressure (0.1 MPa), so that the device operates under the normal pressure, which is safer, and the operator can add materials in the environment chamber space through the sealed gloves to adjust the preparation of the ready-mixed concrete as needed under the normal pressure.

[0090] In the embodiment of the present application, the method further comprises, after opening the outer chamber door 22:

[0091] closing the outer chamber door 22;

[0092] detecting the carbon dioxide concentration in the transition chamber space to obtain a real-time carbon dioxide concentration;

[0093] calculating the carbon dioxide input amount according to the real-time carbon dioxide concentration and the preset experimental concentration;

[0094] inputting carbon dioxide into the transition chamber space according to the carbon dioxide input amount, so that the real-time carbon dioxide concentration in the transition chamber space returns to the preset experimental concentration.

[0095] Specifically, steps S200 and S700 both involve opening the outer chamber door 22. Further, a carbon dioxide concentration detector is arranged in the transition chamber space, and a flow meter is arranged at the outlet of the carbon dioxide injection device 1. By controlling the amount of carbon dioxide input, the carbon dioxide concentration in the transition chamber space is kept consistent with that in the environment chamber space, so that even if the inner chamber door 32 is opened in the subsequent operation, the carbon dioxide concentration in the environment chamber space will not change, and the entire process of preparing the ready-mixed concrete is in a stable environment.

[0096] In the embodiment of the present application, step S700: closing the inner chamber door 32 and opening the outer chamber door 22 to take out the ready-mixed concrete comprises:

[0097] closing the inner chamber door 32 and controlling the suction member to suck the gas in the transition chamber space to the recovery container for carbon dioxide recovery;

[0098] opening the outer chamber door 22 and taking out the ready-mixed concrete.

[0099] Through the above steps, the carbon dioxide in the transition chamber space is recovered before the ready-mixed concrete is taken out, thereby reducing the carbon dioxide emission.

[0100] It should be noted that, according to the related standards of the ready-mixed concrete, the production process includes a mixing station mixing stage, a transfer stage and a tank truck transportation stage, and the three stages all involve mixing of the concrete. In the embodiment of the present application, the stage of injecting carbon dioxide is preferably the mixing station mixing stage. Specifically, refer to Figure 4, M1-M5 are five groups of different embodiments, M1 is stirring under normal conditions, M2 is injecting carbon dioxide in the whole process of preparing ready-mixed concrete, M3 is injecting carbon dioxide in the mixing stage of the mixing station, M4 is injecting carbon dioxide in the transportation stage, and M5 is injecting carbon dioxide in the tank truck transportation stage. The compressive strengths of the ready-mixed concrete obtained by injecting carbon dioxide in different stages are shown in Table 1 Figure 5 As shown in Table 1, the compressive strength of M1 at 28 days is 56.5 MPa, M3, M4 and M5 are significantly improved compared with M1, and the compressive strengths are 67.1 MPa, 62.1 MPa and 59.3 MPa, respectively, while the compressive strength of M2 is inversely contracted, which is 51.8 MPa. In summary, injecting carbon dioxide in the appropriate stage can effectively improve the compressive strength of ready-mixed concrete, and injecting carbon dioxide in the mixing stage of the mixing station has the greatest performance improvement effect.
