[0006] The surface of the covering layer is provided with a downwardly recessed step edge, the surface of the step edge is covered with a moisture retention layer, and the step edge is in communication with the connecting piece through a flow guide groove two provided on the surface thereof. When water flows into the flow guide groove two through the connecting piece, it spreads to the step edge and wets the moisture retention layer, which adheres to the surface of the T-beam;

[0007] The profile of the step edge corresponds to the profile of the T-beam, and the flow guide groove two is in T-shaped structure.

[0008] In a preferred technical solution, the flow guide groove two comprises a clamping groove, a communication port and a water storage groove, the clamping groove is arranged above the water storage groove, and the clamping groove is in communication with the water storage groove through the communication port, the cross-sectional width of the clamping groove is longer than that of the communication port, and the clamping groove, the communication port and the water storage groove are all in T-shaped structure;

[0009] The covering layer is also provided with a telescopic air cylinder, an output shaft of the telescopic air cylinder is provided with a push tube, the push tube extends into the water storage groove and is in communication with the water storage groove, the push tube is provided with an L-shaped through hole one, both ends of the through hole one extend to the surface and the lower end of the push tube respectively, and the water storage groove is also provided with a discharge port near the push tube, so that the through hole one on the push tube is in communication with the discharge port by controlling the movement of the telescopic air cylinder, and the water in the water storage groove is discharged outward;

[0010] The covering layer is also equipped with a humidity detector for detecting air humidity, which is connected to the telescopic cylinder via a signal.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the moisturizing layer includes a moisturizing cotton layer and an absorbent cotton layer. The absorbent cotton layer is disposed against the lower end face of the moisturizing cotton layer. The surface of the moisturizing cotton layer is provided with a plurality of strip-shaped openings. The absorbent cotton layer is embedded in the openings and extends to the upper horizontal surface of the moisturizing cotton layer.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the absorbent cotton layer includes a main absorbent cotton strip and secondary absorbent cotton strips. The secondary absorbent cotton strips are arranged in a rectangular shape on the upper surface of the main absorbent cotton strip, and each secondary absorbent cotton strip is embedded in a strip-shaped opening on the surface of the moisturizing cotton.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the cover layer has an inwardly recessed guide groove on the side away from the step edge. The guide groove is connected to the outlet, and the guide groove gradually deepens from the edge to the connection with the outlet.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the connector includes a support block and a movable connecting tube. The movable connecting tube is disposed on the side of the support block, and a second magnetic sheet is provided on the side of the support block near the cover layer, so as to fix the cover layer by adsorbing the second magnetic sheet.

[0019] Compared with existing technologies, this technical solution has the following advantages:

[0020] When water flows in through the connector, it follows the shape and direction of the second guide channel. Because the second guide channel has a T-shaped structure, the water flows evenly across the entire surface of the step edge. As the water spreads through the second guide channel to the step edge, it comes into contact with the moisturizing layer covering the surface and is gradually absorbed, thus wetting the layer. Since the contour of the step edge matches the contour of the T-beam, the moisturizing layer adheres tightly to the T-beam surface. Therefore, once the moisturizing layer is wetted, it continuously releases moisture to the T-beam surface, maintaining its moisture. This moisture is beneficial for the curing of the precast T-beam concrete, promoting the hydration reaction of the concrete, improving its strength and durability, thereby achieving convenient and effective batch maintenance of the precast T-beams.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the present invention proposes an intelligent curing device for precast T-beam concrete, including a connector 1 and a covering layer 2 installed on the T-beam 100. The connector 1 abuts against the edge of the T-beam 100, while the covering layer 2 covers the surface of the T-beam 100. The connector 1 and the covering layer 2 are connected, and the connector 1 is supplied with water through an external water source.

[0038] The surface of the covering layer 2 has a downwardly recessed stepped edge, which is covered with a moisturizing layer. The stepped edge is connected to the connector 1 through a flow guide groove 21 on its surface. When water flows into the flow guide groove 21 through the connector 1, it spreads to the stepped edge and wets the moisturizing layer. The moisturizing layer is attached to the surface of the T-beam 100. The outline of the stepped edge matches the outline of the T-beam 100. The flow guide groove 21 has a T-shaped structure. When the connector 1 is connected to a water source, the water flows into the covering layer 2 under the guidance of the connector 1 because the connector 1 is connected to the covering layer 2. The surface of the covering layer 2 has a downwardly recessed stepped edge. The step edge is connected to the connector 1 via a flow guide channel 21 on its surface. When water flows in from the connector 1, it flows along the shape and direction of the flow guide channel 21. Because the flow guide channel 21 has a T-shaped structure, the water flows in the T-shaped flow guide channel 21, allowing the water to be evenly distributed across the entire surface of the step edge. When the water flows through the flow guide channel 21 to the step edge, it comes into contact with the moisturizing layer covering the surface of the step edge and is gradually absorbed by the moisturizing layer, thus making the moisturizing layer wet. Since the contour of the step edge matches the contour of the T-beam 100, the moisturizing layer can adhere tightly to the surface of the T-beam 100. Therefore, when the moisturizing layer is wetted, it will continuously release moisture to the surface of the T-beam 100, keeping the surface of the T-beam 100 moist. This moist state is beneficial to the curing of the precast T-beam concrete, promoting the hydration reaction of the concrete, improving the strength and durability of the concrete, thereby achieving the purpose of convenient and effective batch maintenance of the precast T-beams.

[0039] Furthermore, the second guide channel 21 includes a slot 211, a connecting port 212, and a water storage tank 213. The slot 211 is disposed above the water storage tank 213, and the slot 211 is connected to the water storage tank 213 through the connecting port 212. The cross-sectional width of the slot 211 is longer than the cross-sectional width of the connecting port 212, and the slot 211, the connecting port 212, and the water storage tank 213 are all T-shaped structures.

[0040] The cover layer 2 is also equipped with a telescopic cylinder 214. A push tube 215 is installed on the output shaft of the telescopic cylinder 214. The push tube 215 extends into the water storage tank 213 and is connected to the water storage tank 213. The push tube 215 is provided with an L-shaped through hole. The two ends of the through hole extend to the surface and the lower end of the push tube 215, respectively. The water storage tank 213 is also provided with a drain port 2131 near the push tube 215. The telescopic cylinder 214 controls the movement of the push tube 215 so that the through hole on the push tube 215 is connected to the drain port 2131, and the water in the water storage tank 213 is discharged outward. The cover layer 2 is also equipped with a humidity detector 216 for detecting air humidity. The humidity detector 216 is connected to the telescopic cylinder 214.

[0041] As shown above, when the output shaft of the telescopic cylinder 214 extends or retracts, the push tube 215 moves accordingly. The outlet 2131 is located in the water storage tank 213 near the push tube 215. When the output shaft of the telescopic cylinder 214 retracts, the push tube 215 moves towards the telescopic cylinder 214. At this time, the L-shaped through hole on the push tube 215 is misaligned with the outlet 2131, thus closing the outlet 2131. Water in the water storage tank 213 cannot be discharged through the outlet 2131 and remains within the tank. When the output shaft of the telescopic cylinder 214 extends, the push tube 215 moves outward. At this time, the L-shaped through hole on the push tube 215 aligns with the outlet 2131, thus opening the outlet 2131. Water in the water storage tank 213 can then be discharged outward through the through hole and the outlet 2131.

[0042] It is necessary to explain that when using the maintenance device of this invention, T-beams can be placed or stored in a stacked or side-by-side manner. When T-beams are stacked one on top of the other, the covering layers 2 on the two T-beams are close to each other and are supplied with water through the same connector 1. Figure 9As shown, the cover layer 2 has an inwardly recessed guide channel on the side away from the step edge. This guide channel is connected to the outlet 2131, and the guide channel gradually deepens from the edge to the connection with the outlet 2131. When the water storage tank 213 of the upper cover layer 2 discharges water through the outlet 2131, the water will flow into the guide channel 2 on the lower cover layer 2 and flow along the shape of the guide channel. Since the guide channel gradually deepens from the edge to the connection with the outlet 2131, the water will be effectively collected by the guide channel during the flow. The collected water can be guided back to the water storage tank 213 of the lower cover layer 2 through the design of the guide channel. In this way, the water can be recycled among multiple T-beams, which improves the efficiency of water resource utilization and also ensures that each T-beam can be fully maintained. That is, if the T-beams are stored by stacking multiple layers, water can be added to the uppermost cover layer 2, allowing the water to flow downward layer by layer and wet all the T-beams in the same radial direction.

[0043] Furthermore, the moisturizing layer includes a moisturizing cotton 3 and a water-absorbing cotton layer 4. The water-absorbing cotton layer 4 abuts against the lower end face of the moisturizing cotton 3. The surface of the moisturizing cotton 3 has multiple strip-shaped openings. The water-absorbing cotton layer 4 is embedded in the openings and extends to the upper horizontal surface of the moisturizing cotton 3. The water-absorbing cotton layer 4 includes a main water-absorbing cotton strip 41 and a secondary water-absorbing cotton strip 42. The secondary water-absorbing cotton strips 42 are arranged in a rectangular shape on the upper surface of the main water-absorbing cotton strip 41, and each secondary water-absorbing cotton strip 42 is embedded in the strip-shaped openings on the surface of the moisturizing cotton 3. The main water-absorbing cotton strip 41 is located inside the slot 211 and can directly contact the water flowing out from the connecting port 212. The main water-absorbing cotton strip 41 utilizes its water-absorbing properties to quickly absorb water and maintain a moist state.

[0044] Furthermore, the connector 1 includes a support block 11 and a movable connecting tube 12. The movable connecting tube 12 is disposed on the side of the support block 11, and a second magnetic sheet 14 is provided on the side of the support block 11 near the cover layer 2, so as to fix the cover layer 2 by adsorbing the second magnetic sheet 14.

[0045] The movable connecting pipe 12 includes a first movable pipe 121, a second movable pipe 122, and a connecting thread 123. The first movable pipe 121 and the second movable pipe 122 are movably connected, and there is a movable gap between the first movable pipe 121 and the second movable pipe 122. A through hole 2 connected to the guide groove 21 is provided between the first movable pipe 121 and the second movable pipe 122.

[0046] Furthermore, the end of the second through hole away from the first movable tube 121 is provided with a connecting thread 123, and the second movable tube 122 is provided with a first magnetic sheet 13. When there are two movable connecting tubes 12, the two adjacent first magnetic sheets 13 are magnetically attracted to each other. The edge of the movable connecting tube 12 away from the first movable tube 121 is provided with an arc edge. When two adjacent movable connecting tubes 12 abut against each other, the two arc edges form an annular groove. The surface of the annular groove is fitted with 131, and 131 is in an interference fit with the annular groove. When the two T beams 100 are stacked, the adjacent surfaces of the two T beams 100 are provided with a covering layer 2, and the two covering layers 2 are supported by an array of support columns 200.

[0047] As can be seen above, when T-beams are stored in a left-right arrangement, the connectors 1 on the two T-beams can be brought close together, and the first magnetic pieces 13 in the two connectors 1 can be attracted to each other, so that the two second movable tubes 122 can be brought close together and abutted, thereby connecting the two guide channels 21 in the two covering layers 2.

[0048] The connector 1 for the external water source can be connected to the water pipe with a threaded connecting pipe through the connecting thread 123 in its second movable pipe 122, thereby improving the stability of the connection.

[0049] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and therefore should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the patent and the contents of the specification should still fall within the scope of the present invention.
