Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of concrete building materials technology, and more particularly to the field of IPC B28D, specifically to a method for manufacturing a high-density concrete pole. Background Technology

[0002] In coastal areas, power transmission and distribution poles are exposed to harsh environments with high salinity and humidity for extended periods. Salt spray and alkaline substances carried by sea breezes continuously corrode the surface of the poles, leading to reduced structural strength and durability, thus shortening their service life. Furthermore, coastal areas are prone to typhoons, which frequently cause poles to break and collapse.

[0003] Traditional utility poles are mostly made of concrete or metal. Concrete poles are prone to carbonation and chloride ion penetration in saline-alkali environments, leading to steel reinforcement corrosion and expansion, which in turn causes the concrete to crack and peel off. Metal poles are susceptible to electrochemical corrosion, forming a rust layer on the surface, which seriously affects their mechanical properties. Although existing technologies use anti-corrosion coatings to improve the corrosion resistance of utility poles, these coatings are prone to aging and peeling off under long-term marine climate conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a method for manufacturing a high-sealing concrete pole to solve the technical problems of poor corrosion resistance and mechanical strength of traditional poles.

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, in a first aspect, this application provides a method for manufacturing a high-sealing concrete pole. The high-sealing concrete pole comprises the following raw materials in the indicated weight percentages: silicate cement 15%–25%; microsilica powder 5%–10%; nano-silica 1%–2%; lignin-based glass polymer composite material 1%–3%; silane coupling agent 0.05%–0.25%; aggregate 45%–55%; steel fiber 0.3%–0.8%; polystyrene fiber 0.1%–0.3%; penetrating crystalline waterproofing agent 1%–1.5%; organosilicon water-repellent agent 0.3%–0.6%; water-reducing agent 1%–2%; and water 5%–15%.

[0006] The method for manufacturing the high-sealing concrete pole includes the following steps:

[0007] Step 1: Premix and disperse nano-silica with silane coupling agent for 5 min to 10 min to obtain activated nanomaterials;

[0008] Step 2: Add silicate cement, microsilica powder, activated nanomaterials, lignin-based glass polymer composite material and penetrating crystalline waterproofing agent to the mixer, mix and stir evenly to obtain a mixed dry material;

[0009] Step 3: Dissolve the water-reducing agent and organosilicon water-repellent agent in some water to form a mixture. Then add the mixture to the mixer and stir for 1 to 3 minutes. Add the aggregate to the mixer and stir for 3 to 5 minutes. Add the remaining water, steel fiber and polystyrene fiber and stir until there are no lumps to obtain concrete slurry.

[0010] Step 4: Transfer the concrete slurry to a pole mold with a support structure at a temperature of 50℃. Start the centrifuge and centrifuge at low speed (200-300 rpm), medium speed (600-800 rpm), and high speed (1200-1500 rpm) for 1-3 minutes each. Simultaneously vibrate the material with an attached vibrator at 6000-8000 Hz during the high-speed centrifugation stage. After standing for 1-2 hours, raise the pole mold to 75℃ and maintain the temperature for 8-10 hours. Then cool it to room temperature for demolding. After demolding, spray with diluted organosilicon water-repellent agent and cure for 24-36 hours. Finally, transfer it to a cool curing room for continuous curing for 21 days to obtain a highly sealed concrete pole.

[0011] In some of these embodiments, the total amount of silicate cement, microsilica powder and nano silica is used in a mass ratio of 1:(0.25 to 0.35) to water.

[0012] In some embodiments, the lignin-based glass polymer composite material is a biomass-based polyhydroxy polyurethane glass polymer material synthesized by Professor Zhao Wei's research group at Shaanxi University of Science and Technology via a highly efficient addition polymerization reaction between a bis-six-membered ring carbonate and biomass diamine Priamine1074 at ACS AMI. Studies have found that the lignin-based glass polymer composite material possesses excellent shape memory properties and ultrafast self-healing properties, improving the self-repair capability of the cementitious material system, reducing microcracks, and thus increasing the strength of the pole.

[0013] In some embodiments, the aggregate comprises 20%–25% basalt crushed stone and 15%–20% quartz sand, wherein the basalt crushed stone has a particle size of 5 mm–15 mm and the quartz sand has a fineness modulus of 2.6–3.0.

[0014] In some of the embodiments, the premixing ratio of nano-silica to silane coupling agent in step one is 1:(0.05~0.1).

[0015] In some embodiments, the steel fibers in step three are sprinkled in three stages, with the polystyrene fibers added last.

[0016] In some of these embodiments, the dilution ratio of the organosilicon hydrophobic agent in step four is 10% to 15%.

[0017] In some embodiments, the crystalline waterproofing agent includes one or both of silicate-based waterproofing agents and active silica composite waterproofing agents.

[0018] In some embodiments, the organosilicon hydrophobic agent comprises one or both of alkylalkoxysilanes or modified polysiloxanes.

[0019] In some of the embodiments, the water-reducing agent is a polycarboxylate-based water-reducing agent.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, this application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0021] By utilizing the self-healing ability of lignin-based glass polymer composites, the self-healing ability of the cementitious material system is improved, optimizing interfacial adhesion and ensuring structural stability. The addition of nano-silica, microsilica powder, and penetrating crystalline waterproofing agents significantly enhances the density of concrete, reduces porosity, and effectively blocks the penetration of moisture, chloride ions, and salt spray, thus enhancing the durability of the poles in coastal high-salt and alkaline environments. The composite incorporation of steel fibers and polystyrene fibers forms a three-dimensional reinforcing network, inhibiting concrete shrinkage cracking and improving impact resistance and mechanical strength. The internal incorporation of organosilicon hydrophobic agents and surface spraying form a double hydrophobic barrier, reducing water absorption and delaying environmental erosion. Silane coupling agents improve the dispersibility of nanomaterials and enhance the modification effect. Stepped centrifugal molding combined with high-frequency vibration ensures uniform and dense concrete, avoiding delamination defects. Segmented temperature-controlled curing promotes hydration reactions, shortens the molding cycle, and improves early strength. This application uses readily available raw materials, has a controllable process, balances high performance and cost-effectiveness, is suitable for large-scale production, significantly extends the service life of the poles, and reduces maintenance costs.
