Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of construction, and particularly relates to a surface treatment method for steel formwork and a wax spraying device. Background Art
[0002] In construction, steel formwork is widely used in concrete pouring and molding. Among them, before use, a release agent is usually applied to the surface of the steel formwork to ensure that after the pouring operation is completed, the steel formwork can be smoothly separated from the concrete, improving the quality of concrete pouring. However, there are many drawbacks in using only the release agent. For example, most release agents can corrode the steel formwork; after the steel formwork is separated from the concrete, part of the release agent adheres to the surface of the concrete, affecting the appearance of the concrete; some release agents have poor effects, resulting in difficult concrete demolding, increasing the construction difficulty and cost.
[0003] Therefore, researching and developing a new and more efficient surface treatment method and device for steel formwork to reduce the corrosion of the release agent on the steel formwork while improving the concrete demolding effect and efficiency has become a difficult problem that needs to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a surface treatment method for steel formwork and a wax spraying device, which solve the problems of poor demolding effect, corrosion of the steel formwork, and influence on the appearance quality of concrete when using only the release agent.
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0006] The present invention provides a surface treatment method for steel formwork, including the following steps:
[0007] Step 1, cleaning operation: cleaning the surface of the steel formwork to remove oil stains, rust, and dust on the surface of the steel formwork, obtaining a clean steel formwork;
[0008] Step 2, wax spraying operation: spraying a layer of uniformly thick wax film on the surface of the clean steel formwork, and after the wax film is cured, obtaining a wax film steel formwork;
[0009] Step 3, grinding operation: grinding the wax film on the wax film steel formwork to obtain a ground steel formwork;
[0010] Step 4, release agent coating operation: coating a release agent on the wax film surface of the ground steel formwork to obtain a steel formwork that can be used for concrete pouring.

The output end of the air pumping pipeline and the output end of the wax liquid pumping pipeline are both connected to the input end of the mixing pumping pipeline, and the output end of the mixing pumping pipeline is connected to a spray gun.
[0013] Specifically, the air pumping pipeline includes an air regulator and a first pressure pump connected in sequence through pipelines.
[0014] Specifically, the wax liquid pumping pipeline includes a hard wax storage tank and a second pressure pump connected in sequence through pipelines, and a first heater is arranged on the hard wax storage tank.

[0019] Improve the demoulding performance of concrete: The wax film has an extremely low surface tension, which can effectively reduce the adhesion between the concrete and the steel formwork, making the concrete demoulding more smooth, greatly improving the demoulding efficiency, and reducing construction time and costs.
[0020] Protect the steel formwork: The wax film forms a protective film on the surface of the steel formwork, which can prevent the erosion of water, oxygen, etc. to the steel formwork and extend the service life of the steel formwork. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0025] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.
[0026] Embodiment 1, as Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a steel template surface treatment method, comprising the following steps:
[0027] Step 1: Cleaning: Clean the surface of the steel template to remove oil, rust and dust on the surface of the steel template to obtain a clean steel template;
[0028] Step 2, wax spraying operation: spraying a wax film with uniform thickness on the surface of the clean steel template, and after the wax film is solidified, a wax film steel template is obtained;
[0029] Step 3, grinding operation: grinding the wax film on the wax film steel template to obtain a polished steel template;
[0030] Step 4, mold release agent application operation: apply a mold release agent on the wax film surface of the polished steel formwork to obtain a steel formwork that can be used for concrete pouring.
[0031] Specifically, the wax film has a thickness of 0.3 to 0.5 mm.
[0032] In specific implementation, it is recommended to treat the steel formwork used for the first time with the steel formwork surface treatment method disclosed in steps one to three. The use effect of the steel formwork used for concrete pouring after being treated with the above treatment method is worse than the former.
[0033] Specifically, after spraying the wax film on the surface of the clean steel template, the wax film is left to stand for 5-10 minutes to allow the wax film to cool and solidify naturally.
[0034] In specific implementation, the wax film sprayed on the surface of the steel template can be quality inspected during the wax film curing process to check whether the wax film thickness meets the requirements, whether the wax film coverage is uniform, and whether there is any leakage. If defects are found, repairs or flushing and spraying are carried out in time.
[0035] Specifically, after the polishing operation in Step 3, it is necessary to detect the polishing quality of the wax film. The detection method is to impact the surface of the wax film with a preset force by an impact device. If no wax falls off, the polishing quality is qualified; if wax falls off, the polishing quality is unqualified and re-polishing is required.
[0036] In specific implementation, the operation of hitting the wax film with a hammer can be used instead of using the impact device.
[0037] In specific implementation, the polished steel template obtained in Step 3 can be reused 25 - 35 times. During this period, there is no need to perform the operations of Steps 1 to 3 again, and only the operation of Step 4 needs to be performed on the polished steel template.
[0038] Example 2, as Figure 2 shown, this embodiment provides a wax spraying device for the surface of a steel template that adopts the steel template surface treatment method provided in Example 1, including: an air pumping pipeline 1, a wax liquid pumping pipeline 2, and a mixing pumping pipeline 3. The output end of the air pumping pipeline 1 and the output end of the wax liquid pumping pipeline 2 are both connected to the input end of the mixing pumping pipeline 3, and the output end of the mixing pumping pipeline 3 is connected to a spray gun 4.
[0039] In specific implementation, the nozzle of the spray gun 4 can adopt a fan-shaped nozzle to make the wax liquid be evenly sprayed on the surface of the steel template in a fan shape, ensuring the uniformity of spraying.
[0040] Specifically, the air pumping pipeline 1 includes an air regulator 11 and a first pressure pump 12 that are sequentially connected through pipelines.
[0041] Among them, the air regulator 11 is used to adjust the size of the air volume entering the air pumping pipeline 1.
[0042] Specifically, the wax liquid pumping pipeline 2 includes a hard wax storage tank 21 and a second pressure pump 22 that are sequentially connected through pipelines, and a first heater 23 is provided on the hard wax storage tank 21.
[0043] In specific implementation, the heating temperature of the first heater 23 is set to be controlled at 80°C, which is 20°C higher than the melting point of the hard wax to ensure the melting effect of the hard wax.
[0044] Specifically, the mixing pumping pipeline includes a safety valve 31, a filter 32, a pressure regulator 33, a pressure gauge 34, a second heater 35, a mixer 36, and a flow meter 37 that are sequentially connected through pipelines.
[0045] Specifically, a return pipeline 5 is also connected between the spray gun 4 and the hard wax storage tank 21, and a back pressure valve 51 is installed on the return pipeline 5.
[0046] In specific implementation, place the steel formwork on the workbench, adjust the spray gun 4 to be perpendicular to the steel formwork, and control the distance between the spray gun 4 and the steel formwork within 30 - 40 cm. Conduct the wax film spraying operation in a preset spraying sequence, such as from left to right or from top to bottom, to ensure that the surface of the steel formwork is covered by the wax film.
[0047] After the wax film spraying operation is completed, take out the wax liquid in the hard wax storage tank 21, then inject paraffin cleaning agent into the hard wax storage tank 21. The paraffin cleaning agent pumps through the wax liquid pumping pipeline 2, the mixing pumping pipeline 3, and the pipeline in the reflux pipeline 5 for cleaning. Finally, use clean water to replace the paraffin cleaning agent and repeat the above cleaning operation to remove the residual paraffin cleaning agent in the pipeline. Clean 2 - 3 times until the discharged water is clear.
