Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of intelligent building materials, and in particular relates to a long-distance wireless identification digital aggregate and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] The production and preparation processes for concrete products, prefabricated components, and cast-in-place structures are complex and have a low level of informatization. When these concrete products or structures experience quality issues during service, traceability is often difficult. Using QR code technology to store concrete product information and affix the code to the surface of the product or structure allows for identification. However, QR codes have poor weather resistance and are susceptible to contamination, wear, and detachment when used on structural surfaces. They are also prone to vandalism, resulting in a short service life for the QR code, which cannot match the lifespan of the concrete product.

[0003] Furthermore, while RFID tags offer the advantage of greater durability over QR codes, actual use has revealed that various silicate mineralizations, their hydration products, and water within concrete significantly attenuate RF signals. Furthermore, metal materials such as rebar within concrete shield RF signals, resulting in a shorter signal reading distance. When RFID tags are embedded 2 cm into concrete, the RF signal can be detected at a distance of less than 0.5 m, significantly limiting their application in concrete products.

[0068] The technical solutions of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention, but they should not be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0069] Example 1

[0070] The carbon mineralization material is γ-type dicalcium silicate with a particle size of less than 150 μm, the wave reflector is iron powder with a particle size of less than 20 μm, the modifier is calcium carbonate powder with a particle size of less than 20 μm, and the reinforcing agent is sodium alginate;

[0071] Take 20 parts by mass of γ-type dicalcium silicate, 2 parts of calcium carbonate powder, 1.2 parts of sodium alginate, and 3.2 parts of water. Disperse the sodium alginate in water and stir evenly to form a mixed solution. Evenly mix the γ-type dicalcium silicate, calcium carbonate powder, and the mixed solution to form a mixture. Fill the mixture into a square mold with a bottom surface of 20mm x 20mm to half height, place one part of the RF component in the center of the mold, and continue to fill the mixture until it is full. Prepare the first aggregate module blank by pressing at a pressing pressure of 30MPa and a pressing time of 2 minutes.

[0072] Take the same weight ratio of gamma-type dicalcium silicate, calcium carbonate powder, sodium alginate, and water as used to prepare the first aggregate module blank, and also take 4 parts of iron powder. Disperse the sodium alginate in the water and stir evenly to form a mixed solution. Evenly mix the gamma-type dicalcium silicate, iron powder, and calcium carbonate powder with the mixed solution to form a mixture. Fill the mixture into a mold once and press it to form the second aggregate module blank. The mold size and pressing pressure are the same as those used in the preparation process of the first aggregate module blank.

[0073] Repeat the above steps to prepare 3 pieces of the first aggregate module blank and 3 pieces of the second aggregate module blank. The blanks are placed in a carbon dioxide atmosphere for mineralization at a mineralization temperature of 25°C, a mineralization time of 24 hours, a relative humidity of 50%, a carbon dioxide volume concentration of 99.9%, and a carbon dioxide partial pressure of 0.3 MPa to obtain the first and second aggregate modules; the first and second aggregate modules are assembled by gluing, wherein the first aggregate module is arranged directly above the second aggregate module to obtain a digital aggregate.

[0074] Example 2

[0075] The only difference from Example 1 is that the modifier used to prepare the first aggregate module and the second aggregate module is 4 parts of calcium carbonate powder, and the rest is the same as Example 1.

[0076] Example 3

[0077] The only difference from Example 1 is that the modifier used to prepare the first aggregate module and the second aggregate module is 6 parts of calcium carbonate powder, and the rest is the same as Example 1.

[0078] Example 4

[0079] The only difference from Example 1 is that the reinforcing agent used to prepare the first aggregate module and the second aggregate module is 1.6 parts of sodium alginate, and the rest is the same as Example 1.

[0080] Example 5

[0081] The only difference from Example 1 is that the reinforcing agent for preparing the first aggregate module and the second aggregate module is 2 parts of sodium alginate, and the rest is the same as Example 1.

[0082] Example 6

[0084] Example 7

[0085] The only difference from Example 1 is that the wave reflector used to prepare the second aggregate module is 8 parts of iron powder, and the rest is the same as Example 1.

[0086] Comparative Example 1

[0087] Mix 20 parts by mass of ordinary Portland cement and 6 parts by mass of water to form a mixture. Fill the mixture into a 20 mm x 20 mm square mold to halfway, place one RF component in the center of the mold, and continue adding the mixture until the mold is completely filled. Curing the mixture with the RF component in a standard curing room at 25°C and 90% relative humidity for 28 days yields digital aggregate made from ordinary Portland cement.

[0088] Comparative Example 2

[0089] The only difference from Comparative Example 1 is that the cement used to prepare the digital aggregate is white Portland cement, and the rest is the same as Comparative Example 1.

[0090] Performance Testing

[0091] The compressive strength of the digital aggregates prepared in Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 1-2 was tested in accordance with the national standard "GB / T 50081-2002 Standard for Test Methods of Mechanical Properties of Ordinary Concrete." The maximum reading distance of the signal collector was also tested under two operating conditions: 1. The digital aggregate was directly buried in the concrete, with the first aggregate module buried to a depth of 2 cm; 2. The digital aggregate was first tied to steel bars and then buried in the concrete, with the first aggregate module buried to a depth of 2 cm. The digital aggregate was read using a signal collector operating at an ultra-high frequency of 433-950 MHz, and the maximum reading distance of the signal collector was recorded. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0092] Table 1 Compressive strength and reading distance of digital aggregates prepared in Examples 1 to 7 and Comparative Examples 1 to 2

[0093]

[0094] As can be seen from Table 1, compared with Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the compressive strength of the digital aggregates prepared in each embodiment is higher than that of the comparative examples. This is because Comparative Examples 1 and 2 form strength by cement hydration, resulting in high matrix porosity and thus low compressive strength; while the embodiments of the present invention form strength by carbonization of carbon mineralized materials, resulting in low matrix porosity and thus high compressive strength. The reading distance of the digital aggregates prepared in each embodiment is much greater than that of Comparative Examples 1 and 2. This is because cement hydration produces a variety of silicate minerals with low impedance and large attenuation of electromagnetic wave signal transmission; while the present invention utilizes carbonization of carbon mineralized materials to produce a single product phase with high impedance and thus small attenuation of electromagnetic wave signal transmission. On the other hand, the reading distance of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 under working condition 2 is significantly lower than that under working condition 1. This is because metal has a shielding effect on electromagnetic wave signals, resulting in a reduction in signal transmission distance. The digital aggregates prepared by the present invention can avoid metal interference by adding a wave reflector, and the reading distances under the two working conditions are close.

[0095] Compared to Example 1, Examples 2 and 3 used a modifier to electrically modify the digital aggregate matrix. As the amount of modifier increased, the compressive strength of the digital aggregate increased, and the reading distance also improved. This is because the modifier can fill the pores of the digital aggregate, prompting the mineralization reaction to form a more homogeneous microstructure. It also significantly increases the impedance of the digital aggregate, reducing the transmission attenuation of electromagnetic wave signals, thereby improving the reading distance of the digital aggregate.

[0096] In Examples 1, 4, and 5, reinforcing agents were added. As the amount of reinforcing agent increased, the compressive strength of the digital aggregate significantly increased, and the reading distance also slightly increased. This is because the reinforcing agent can induce the formation of more carbonate minerals during the mineralization reaction, increasing the mechanical strength of the digital aggregate. These carbonate minerals also increase the impedance of the digital aggregate, thereby improving the reading distance of the digital aggregate.

[0097] In Examples 1, 6, and 7, wave reflectors were added. As the amount of reflector increased, the compressive strength of the digital aggregate decreased, but its reading distance significantly increased. This is because the reflector does not participate in the mineralization reaction, and its large use can increase interfacial defects in the digital aggregate, leading to reduced mechanical properties. Furthermore, the reflector can enhance the reflection of electromagnetic waves from the second aggregate module of the digital aggregate, thereby enhancing the digital aggregate's signal transmission performance.

[0098] From the reading distances of the embodiments in Table 1 under two working conditions, it can be seen that the digital aggregate prepared by the present invention has a relatively long reading distance of 3.6 to 4.9 meters when it is directly embedded in concrete or tied to the steel bars inside the concrete.

[0099] Although the above embodiment describes the present invention in detail, it is only a part of the embodiments of the present invention rather than all the embodiments. People can also obtain other embodiments based on this embodiment without creativity, and these embodiments all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
