Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of concrete detection, and particularly to a high-accuracy concrete slump detector. Background Art

[0002] The slump of concrete mainly refers to the plasticizing performance and pumpability of concrete. The factors affecting the slump of concrete mainly include gradation change, water content, weighing deviation of weighing instruments, and dosage of admixtures. The slump refers to the workability of concrete. Specifically, it ensures the normal progress of construction, including the water retention, fluidity, and cohesion of concrete. The traditional method is to use a trumpet-shaped slump bucket. After filling it with concrete, tamping it, leveling it, and then pulling out the bucket, the concrete will slump due to its own weight. Subtracting the height of the highest point of the slumped concrete from the height of the bucket is called the slump. This method requires manual operation and there are many uncontrollable factors, resulting in deviation of the test results. Therefore, how to objectively and accurately measure the slump of concrete is the main problem to be solved by the present invention. Summary of the Invention

[0012] Advantages of the present invention:

[0013] By setting a measuring body, a support base, a measuring cone, a fixed intermediate plate, a swinging plate, etc., for a high-accuracy concrete slump detector of the present invention. First, the cooperation between the fixed intermediate plate and the swinging plate of the device can flatten the concrete at the upper end of the measuring cone. When the fixed intermediate plate moves downward, the slump distance of the concrete can be measured. Second, the two groups of swinging plates swing on the upper side of the concrete to stir the concrete. Then the fixed intermediate plate continues to move downward to measure the further collapse distance of the concrete, so as to obtain the reference data of the concrete cohesiveness. By comprehensively calculating the cohesiveness and fluidity of the concrete, compared with the traditional manual measurement, the measurement accuracy of this device is high, the measurement speed is fast, the error caused by human participation is avoided, and the objectivity is stronger.

[0014] By setting up a light emitter, a photoelectric sensor integrated board, a flow meter, a water content measurement chamber, a clean chamber, etc., under the action of gravity, the concrete flows into the measurement chamber and finally stays on the surface of the light-transmitting plate. The light emitter is activated, and the photoelectric sensor integrated board senses the light and forms a pattern. After being calculated by the calculation unit, the average diameter of the diffusion circle is calculated, and the fluidity is calculated according to the average diameter of the irregular circle of the concrete diffusion, obtaining accurate fluidity reference data. Compared with the human eye estimation, the accuracy of this device is greatly improved. The seepage water of the concrete flows into the water content measurement chamber through the filter plate under the action of gravity, and the flow meter measures the water volume, thereby obtaining the water retention reference data of the concrete, quantifying this index, and providing data support for adjusting the concrete formula.

[0015] The device is provided with a vibration chute, a vibrator, and a vibration arc plate on the inner wall of the measuring frustum. The vibrator drives the vibration arc plate to reciprocate in the vibration chute. The vibration of the vibration arc plate can drive the nearby concrete to vibrate, thus playing a role in uniform vibration and avoiding a large number of gaps in the concrete. Compared with manual knocking, the vibration arc plate acts on the side of the concrete from bottom to top, with a wide range of action, can vibrate the concrete at one time, has a short operation time, and a better vibration effect.

[0025] ​The concrete to be measured is poured into the inner cavity of the measuring cone 16 from the upper opening of the measuring cone 16. After ramming, the measuring telescopic rod 25 moves downward to drive the fixed intermediate plate 33 and the swing plate 32 to extrude the excess concrete, so that the concrete at the upper opening of the measuring cone 16 remains flush. Move the measuring cone 16 upward, and the concrete flows out from the lower opening of the measuring cone 16 to the upper surface of the support base 11. Under the action of gravity, the concrete spreads around.

At this time, the measuring telescopic rod 25 pushes the fixed intermediate plate 33 downward, and the swing plate 32 swings at a certain angle through the upper opening of the measuring cone 16 until the fixed intermediate plate 33 touches the upper surface of the concrete, and the collapse distance of the concrete is measured. When the concrete flows into the communication groove 19, calculate the fluidity according to the average diameter of the irregular circle formed by the spread of the concrete. Under the action of gravity, the concrete flows into the measuring chamber 20 and finally stays on the surface of the light-transmitting plate 36.
