[0032] In order to clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, the present invention is described in detail below through specific implementation methods and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

The mounting hole 42 is arranged in an array on the traveling vehicle 1, and the expansion nozzle 4 is detachably connected to the mounting hole 42. The expansion nozzle 4 is connected to the second booster 41 through a hose 10, and the second booster 41 is connected to the water tank 2 through a conduit 11; the chamfering mechanism includes a chamfering nozzle 5, a third booster 51, a distance adjustment mechanism and an angle adjustment mechanism. The chamfering nozzle 5 is rotatably connected to the distance adjustment mechanism, and the angle adjustment mechanism is connected to the chamfering nozzle 5. The chamfering nozzle 5 is connected to the third booster 51 through a hose 10, and the third booster 51 is connected to the water tank 2 through a conduit 11.

[0035] like Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, the distance adjustment mechanism includes a slider 52, a slide 521, a gear 53, a rack 54 and a servo motor 55. The slide 521 is set on the traveling vehicle 1, and the slider 52 is slidably connected in the slide 521. The chamfering nozzle 5 is rotatably connected to the slider 52. The rack 54 is set on the slider 52. The gear 53 is rotatably connected in the slide 521 and meshed with the rack 54. The servo motor 55 is connected to the traveling vehicle 1 through a flange, and the gear 53 is connected to the output end of the servo motor 55.

[0036] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the angle adjustment mechanism includes a rotating member 56, an electric cylinder 57 and a connecting member 58. The rotating member 56 is connected to the chamfering nozzle 5, the output end of the electric cylinder 57 is rotatably connected to the other end of the rotating member 56, the electric cylinder 57 is rotatably connected to the connecting member 58, and the connecting member 58 is connected to the traveling vehicle 1.

[0037] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the guiding mechanism includes a laser emitter 6, a laser receiving panel 7, a reflector 8 and a processor 9. The laser receiving panel 7 is connected to a section of the traveling vehicle 1 close to the direction of travel, the laser emitter 6 is connected to a position near the bottom of the laser receiving panel 7, the processor 9 is connected to the traveling vehicle 1, and the reflector 8 is detachably connected to the traveling vehicle 1.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a counterweight 101 is provided on the traveling vehicle 1 .

[0039] A construction method for water jet concrete cutting, using the water jet concrete cutting machine to perform cutting, comprises the following steps:

[0040] Step 1: Lay out the line;

[0041] Step 2: Place the water jet concrete cutter at the cutting starting point, remove the reflector 8, and place it at the cutting end point;

[0042] Step 3: Turn on the laser transmitter 6, adjust the height and angle of the reflector 8 until the laser signal is received on the laser receiving panel 7, and further adjust the reflector 8 until the laser signal on the laser receiving panel 7 and the laser emission point are in the same vertical plane; after the water jet concrete cutting machine starts cutting, the laser point on the laser receiving panel 7 and the laser emission point are in the same vertical plane, and the traveling vehicle 1 moves at a speed of 4.5-6 meters per minute for cutting. When the processor 9 detects that the laser receiving point and the laser emission point on the receiver are not in the same vertical plane, it will automatically control the traveling vehicle 1 to fine-tune the direction, thereby realizing automated cutting.

[0043] Step 4: The water jet concrete cutter begins cutting. The water pressures of the first, second, and third boosters 31, 41, and 51 are adjusted according to the concrete grade. The initial cutting nozzle 3 creates a 150mm deep, 2mm wide gap in the concrete. The expansion nozzle 4 creates a 30mm deep, 8-10mm wide gap. The spacing and angle of the chamfering nozzles 5 are adjusted, and the chamfering nozzles 5 complete the chamfering. For example, using C30 concrete as an example, the initial cutting nozzle 3 creates a 150mm deep gap in the concrete. The first booster 31 is adjusted to approximately 200MPa, and the expansion nozzle 4 cuts to a depth of 30mm. The second booster 41 is adjusted to approximately 100MPa. Since the two water column pressures of the chamfering nozzle 5 offset each other after cutting, ensure that the pressure of the third booster 51 does not exceed 200MPa, but is at least 100MPa.

[0044] In step 4, the chamfering nozzle 5 adjusts the spacing by controlling the servo motor 55. The servo motor 55 drives the gear 53 to rotate, and the rack 54 engaged with the gear 53 drives the slider 52 to slide in the slide groove 521 to complete the spacing adjustment.

[0045] In step 4, the angle of the chamfering nozzle 5 is adjusted by controlling the electric cylinder 57. The electric cylinder 57 is extended and retracted to drive the rotating member 56 and then drive the chamfering nozzle 5 to complete the angle adjustment.

[0046] During the concrete curing process, a large amount of water needs to be sprayed on the concrete surface. Therefore, the use of water cutting can not only not affect the strength of the concrete, but also be beneficial to the curing of the concrete, and avoid the traditional cutting saw cutting method that causes water shortage during the concrete curing process.

[0047] Although the above describes the specific embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, it does not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Based on the technical solution of the present invention, various modifications or variations that can be made by those skilled in the art without creative work are still within the scope of protection of the present invention.
