Detailed Implementation

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clear and complete, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only some, not all, embodiments of the present invention, and are merely illustrative of the embodiments of the present invention. They are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This embodiment discloses a batch casting mold for box culverts, comprising an outer mold unit and an inner mold unit. The outer mold unit includes a base 1, a bottom plate 17, two sets of opposing side plates 13, a top plate 11, and a rear plate 16. The bottom plate 17 is located above the base 1. The rear plate 16 is integral with the bottom plate 17 and is located on the surface of the base 1. The top plate 11 is located above the bottom plate 17. The two sets of side plates 13 are vertically mounted on the base 1 and respectively located on both sides of the top plate 11 and the bottom plate 17. The upper and lower ends of each side plate 13 are... The side plate 13 is connected to the top plate 11 and the bottom plate 17 via a telescopic connection structure. The telescopic connection structure consists of multiple sets of telescopic rods 19, which are fixed to the upper and lower ends of each side plate 13. The end of the telescopic rod 19 at the top of the side plate 13 away from the side plate 13 is inserted into the interior of the top plate 11, and the end of the telescopic rod 19 at the bottom of the side plate 13 away from the side plate 13 is inserted into the interior of the bottom plate 17. The telescopic rods 19 can only move in and out of the top plate 11 and the bottom plate 17 along the insertion direction, providing stable guidance for the movement of the side plate 13.

[0021] A transverse groove 12 is formed on the surface of the side plate 13. Two sets of third protrusions 15 are symmetrically fixed on the surface of the transverse groove 12. These third protrusions 15 serve as positioning protrusions for the outer formwork unit. A U-shaped plate 14 is also fixed on the surface of the side plate 13. The U-shaped plate 14 is located between the two sets of third protrusions 15, and a fourth protrusion 20 is fixed on the surface of the U-shaped plate 14 facing the side plate 13. This fourth protrusion 20 serves as a demolding traction adaptation structure for the outer formwork unit. A slurry groove is formed on the surface of the top plate 11 for injecting concrete. The surfaces of the side plate 13 and the rear plate 16 are sprayed with a release agent to reduce component adhesion during the pouring and demolding process, so as to facilitate smooth separation of the outer formwork unit from the box culvert.

[0022] The inner mold unit includes an inner forming mold 2, which is equipped with a drive connection structure and a linkage plate 10. The drive connection structure is a moving rod 3, one end of which is fixedly connected to the inner forming mold 2, and the other end is connected to a drive device. The drive device is used to drive the moving rod 3 to move the inner forming mold 2 and the linkage plate 10 synchronously. There are two sets of linkage plates 10, which are fixed to the surfaces of the moving rods 3 on both sides of the inner forming mold 2 to ensure that the side plates 13 on both sides are subjected to uniform force. The linkage plate 10 is an L-shaped plate with two sets of mating protrusions on its surface, which correspond to the positioning and demolding traction structures of the outer mold unit, respectively.

[0023] The first protrusion 8, facing inward, is adapted to and engages with the third protrusion 15 of the side plate 13. When the linkage plate 10 moves with the internal forming mold 2, the first protrusion 8 on its surface can contact and hold the third protrusion 15, achieving the close positioning of the side plate 13. The second protrusion 9, facing outward, is adapted to and engages with the fourth protrusion 20 of the wedge-shaped plate 14. After the linkage plate 10 moves, it drives the second protrusion 9 to hold the fourth protrusion 20. After the fourth protrusion 20 is subjected to force, it drives the wedge-shaped plate 14 to move, providing sufficient outward pulling force for the side plate 13, so that the two sets of side plates 13 move away from each other and detach from the surface of the box culvert. In addition, a slot 18 is provided on the surface of the rear plate 16. When the internal forming mold 2 moves into the forming space with the moving rod 3, its end is inserted into the slot 18 to complete the positioning.

[0024] The internal forming mold 2 and the outer mold unit are sealed together by a sealing fit structure, which is a sealing plate 4. The sealing plate 4 is located at the front end of the internal forming mold 2 and supports the front wall surface of the top plate 11, bottom plate 17 and side plate 13 to achieve sealing of the forming space and prevent concrete leakage. The internal forming mold 2 is located in the forming space formed by the top plate 11, bottom plate 17, rear plate 16 and two sets of side plates 13.

[0025] An annular groove 7 is provided at the rear of the internal forming mold 2. A fitting frame 6 is adapted to fit within the annular groove 7. The surface of the fitting frame 6 is provided with several convex fitting strips to increase the friction between the fitting frame 6 and the box culvert, allowing the box culvert to detach from the outer mold unit synchronously with the internal forming mold 2. The fitting frame 6 and the internal forming mold 2 are fixedly connected by a detachable fixing structure. The detachable fixing structure includes screw holes 5 and screws. The rear surface of the internal forming mold 2 and the fitting frame 6 are provided with corresponding screw holes 5. The screw passes through the screw holes 5 to fix the fitting frame 6 and the internal forming mold 2, ensuring the stability of their synchronous movement.

[0026] The overall working principle of this scheme is as follows: During the initial assembly, the outer mold unit is assembled and formed by the telescopic rod 19, and the inner mold unit is moved to the outer mold enclosure space by the moving rod 3. The end insertion slot 18 is positioned, and the sealing plate 4 and the rear plate 16 cooperate to form a closed space. The sleeve frame 6 is fixed in the annular groove 7 of the internal forming mold 2 by the screw for later use. At this time, the first protrusion 8 of the linkage plate 10 cooperates with the third protrusion 15 of the side plate 13 to support each other, so that the side plates 13 are close to each other and maintain stable positioning. The second protrusion 9 and the fourth protrusion 20 are in the pre-linkage state.

[0027] During the pouring stage, concrete is injected through the injection groove of the top plate 11. The concrete fills the forming space, and the convex bonding strip of the sleeve frame 6 is tightly bonded to the concrete, forming a stable connection with the help of friction. The release agent of the side plate and the rear plate reduces adhesion.

[0028] The demolding process is carried out in two stages. The first stage involves the separation of the outer mold from the inner forming mold – the culvert attachment. After the concrete solidifies, the drive unit moves the moving rod 3 outwards, pulling the inner forming mold 2. The linkage plate 10 moves synchronously with the moving rod 3, and the first protrusion 8 and the third protrusion 15 disengage from their supporting structures. Because the telescopic rod 19 lacks elastic reset function, the side plate 13 has no active movement force. At this time, the second protrusion 9 and the fourth protrusion 20 adhere to each other and apply sufficient outward pulling force, causing the U-shaped plate 14 and the side plate 13 to move outwards along the guide of the telescopic rod 19. The two sets of side plates 13 move away from each other and detach from the culvert surface. The inner forming mold, through the friction of the sleeve frame 6, causes the culvert to move synchronously out of the base 1. The second stage involves the separation of the inner forming mold from the culvert. The bolts passing through the screw holes 5 and the sleeve frame 6 are disassembled, releasing the fixing relationship between the sleeve frame 6 and the inner forming mold 2, so that the culvert can be removed from the surface of the inner forming mold. The entire operation does not require frequent disassembly of the side and rear plates, enabling efficient completion of the culvert's pouring and removal.

For those skilled in the art, all applications utilizing the concept of this application are protected as long as various variations are within the spirit and scope of this application as defined and determined by the appended claims.
