DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] An adjustable solid waste-based cementitious material cement wallboard forming device, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes bases 1, 1 and 2, the top of the base 1 is connected to an L-shaped template 2, the L-shaped template 2 is used to bear cement, the front and rear sides of the L-shaped template 2 are installed with first fixed plates 3, side plates 4 are clamped between the L-shaped template 2 and the right side of the first fixed plate 3, the side plates 4 are slidably connected to the first fixed plate 3, the right part of the first fixed plate 3 is rotatably connected with a clamp 5 for fixing and limiting the side plates 4, and also includes: an adjusting mechanism 6, the adjusting mechanism 6 is arranged on the first fixed plate 3, the adjusting mechanism 6 is used to quickly adjust the molding specifications of the cement wallboard; the pushing mechanism 7, the pushing mechanism 7 is arranged on the L-shaped template 2, the pushing mechanism 7 is used to drive the side plate 4 to automatically move to the right, and pull out the formed cement wallboard.

[0032] It should be noted that when prefabricating cement wall panels, the device can be used to assist in operation. First, the demoulding paper for auxiliary molding is placed in the device, and then the movement of the adjustment mechanism 6 is controlled as needed to set the molding specifications within the specified range. After the operation is completed, concrete is filled into the device, and the concrete is waited for to solidify. Then, the clamp 5 is rotated so that the side panel 4 is no longer locked. Then, the ejection mechanism 7 is controlled to drive the side panel 4 to move to the right, and the molded cement wall panel is pulled out. Finally, the cement wall panel can be taken out.

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the adjustment mechanism 6 includes a fixed frame 61, the first fixed plate 3 is connected to the fixed frame 61, the fixed frame 61 is installed with a first hydraulic cylinder 62, the telescopic ends of the first hydraulic cylinder 62 are all set inward and are located on the inner side of the first fixed plate 3, the telescopic ends of the first hydraulic cylinder 62 are connected to a force equalizing frame 63, the inner side of the force equalizing frame 63 is connected to an adjustment template 64, and the left part of the L-shaped template 2 is slidably connected to a sliding plate 65.

[0034] It should be noted that the telescopic end of the first hydraulic cylinder 62 is controlled to drive the force equalizing frame 63 to move, so that the force equalizing frame 63 drives the adjusting templates 64 to move closer to each other, and controls the spacing between the adjusting templates 64. After the adjustment is completed, concrete is poured normally for solidification and forming. At this time, as the concrete is poured, the sliding plate 65 will be squeezed, causing the sliding plate 65 to slide to the left to the extreme position, so that the sliding plate 65 is fitted with the L-shaped template 2. When the cement wall panel needs to be taken out, as the side panel 4 is opened, the sliding plate 65 can be pushed to the right, and the formed cement wall panel can be pushed by relying on the sliding plate 65 to assist the operator to quickly take out the cement wall panel.

[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the ejection mechanism 7 includes a second hydraulic cylinder 71, and the second hydraulic cylinder 71 is installed on the lower side of the right part of the L-shaped template 2. A pushing frame 72 is connected to the telescopic end of the second hydraulic cylinder 71, and limiting blocks 73 are connected to the front and rear sides of the right part of the L-shaped template 2. The limiting blocks 73 are slidably connected to the pushing frame 72, and the limiting blocks 73 are used to slide and limit the pushing frame 72. The pushing frame 72 is rotatably connected to the side plate 4, and a lifting screw rod 74 is threadedly connected to the upper part of the side plate 4. The bottom of the lifting screw rod 74 is rotatably connected to a contact plate 75, and the contact plate 75 is used to press and limit the cement wall panel.

[0036] It should be noted that when the cement wall panel is solidified and formed, the lifting screw rod 74 is rotated to make the contact plate 75 move downward, so that the contact plate 75 presses and limits the formed cement wall panel, and then unlocks the side panel 4, and then starts the second hydraulic cylinder 71. The extension of the telescopic end of the second hydraulic cylinder 71 to the right will drive the push frame 72 to move to the right. At this time, the push frame 72 will drive the side panel 4 to move to the right. With the cooperation of the contact plate 75 and the sliding plate 65, the cement wall panel can be taken out more easily. After the cement wall panel slides a certain distance, the lifting screw rod 74 is rotated and reset, so that the contact plate 75 no longer contacts the cement wall panel. At this time, the L-shaped plate no longer effectively supports the lower side of the side panel 4. Under the action of its own weight, the side panel 4 will flip downward and open, providing sliding guidance for the operator to take out the cement wall panel.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] On the basis of Example 1, Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, a demoulding mechanism 8 is also included, and the demoulding mechanism 8 includes a first bearing seat 81. Two first bearing seats 81 are connected to the lower side of the middle part of the L-shaped template 2, and two second bearing seats 82 are connected to the left side of the L-shaped template 2. A first rotating shaft 83 is rotatably connected between the second bearing seats 82, and a second rotating shaft 89 is rotatably connected between the first bearing seats 81. A pulley assembly 84 is connected between the first rotating shaft 83 and the second rotating shaft 89. The pulley assembly 84 consists of a pulley and a transmission belt. The pulleys are respectively installed on the corresponding first rotating shaft 83 and second rotating shaft 89, and the transmission belt is wound around the pulleys on the same side. A rack rack 85 is connected to the left side of the pushing frame 72, and the rack rack 85 contacts the bottom of the L-shaped template 2. A gear 86 is connected to the middle position of the second rotating shaft 89, and the gear 86 is meshed with the lower left side of the rack rack 85. A spiral wheel 87 is connected to the middle of the first rotating shaft 83, and the spiral wheel 87 can push the sliding plate 65. Four first springs 88 are connected between the sliding plate 65 and the L-shaped template 2.

[0039] The gear 86 is rotated during the movement of the rack frame 85, thereby rotating the second shaft 89, and the rotation of the second shaft 89 drives the pulley assembly 84 to operate. At this time, under the action of the pulley assembly 84, the first shaft 83 is also rotated synchronously, thereby rotating the spiral wheel 87, and squeezing and pushing the sliding plate 65, so that the sliding plate 65 slides to the right, and the first spring 88 is stretched and stretched, so that the side plate 4 and the contact plate 75 cooperate to pull the cement wallboard to the right while the sliding plate 65 pushes the cement wallboard to the right, further improving the discharge efficiency of the cement wallboard. As the pushing frame 72 moves to the left and resets, the second shaft 89 drives the first shaft 83 to rotate and reset, thereby rotating the spiral wheel 87 and resetting. The sliding plate 65 is no longer squeezed at this time, and under the action of the first spring 88, the sliding plate 65 slides to the left and resets.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, it also includes a positioning mechanism 9, which includes a guide frame 91. The guide frame 91 is connected to the left side of the upper part of the L-shaped template 2. A two-way screw rod 92 is rotatably connected to the guide frame 91. The front and rear parts of the two-way screw rod 92 are both threadedly connected to a positioning plate 93. The positioning plate 93 is slidably connected to the L-shaped template 2.

[0041] It should be noted that during the pouring of cement wall panels, the bidirectional screw 92 is first rotated according to the required specifications so that the positioning plate 93 moves accordingly, thereby saving calibration time and improving pouring efficiency during subsequent multiple pouring operations.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Fig. 9 As shown, a buffer mechanism 10 is also included, and the buffer mechanism 10 includes a second fixed plate 101. Two second fixed plates 101 that are symmetrical front and back are connected to the lower right side of the L-shaped template 2. The right side of the second fixed plate 101 is slidably connected to a contact piece 102 for supporting the side plate 4, and a second spring 103 is connected between the contact piece 102 and the adjacent second fixed plate 101.

[0043] It should be noted that as the side panel 4 flips downward, the contact member 102 and the second spring 103 cooperate to support the side panel 4, thereby improving the bearing capacity of the side panel 4 and preventing the cement wall panel from breaking due to guiding after the side panel 4 flips.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Fig.10As shown, it also includes a lifting mechanism 11, which includes a limiting member 111. The right part of the first fixed plate 3 is connected to the limiting member 111, and an upper frame 112 is slidably connected between the limiting members 111. The upper frame 112 is used to synchronously push and unlock the card 5.

[0045] It should be noted that, in order to improve the convenience of operation, when the card member 5 is rotated to unlock the side panel 4, the upper frame 112 can be directly pushed upward to push the card member 5 so that the card member 5 can be rotated and opened synchronously.

[0046] The technical principles of the embodiments of the present invention are described above in conjunction with specific embodiments. These descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the embodiments of the present invention and cannot be interpreted in any way as limiting the protection scope of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the explanations herein, those skilled in the art can think of other specific implementation methods of the embodiments of the present invention without creative work, and these methods will fall within the protection scope of the embodiments of the present invention.
