[0015] Beneficial effects

[0016] This invention provides an intelligent device and testing method for the shrinkage performance of cement mortar, which has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0017] 1. Relevant technicians place the cylinder between two worm gears and manually rotate a lever, causing the lever to rotate the left-hand lead screw fixed to it. This, in turn, causes the left-hand lead screw to rotate the right-hand lead screw fixed to it. The sliding rods threaded onto the left and right lead screws then move linearly along the slide rails at their connection to the shell. This causes the two sliding rods to move the clamping plates fixed to them in opposite directions, thus clamping the cylinder. At this point, the technicians start the motor, causing the gear meshing with its output gear to rotate. This gear then rotates the main shaft fixed to its axis, causing it to rotate. The main shaft, in conjunction with its transmission connection, rotates, causing the two main shafts to rotate the eccentric wheels fixed to them. This causes the push rods, eccentrically connected to the eccentric wheels, to begin circular motion. The push rods then push the push rings hinged to them, causing the push rings to move linearly along the slide rails at their connection to the shell. The push rings then enter the cylinder along both sides. At this point, the relevant technicians... Personnel begin injecting mortar into the cylinder through the injection holes. After filling, the injection holes are blocked, and the motor is restarted. This causes the two push rings to work together to press the cement mortar inside the cylinder, preventing air pockets. Simultaneously, when the eccentric wheel rotates, it drives the worm gear fixedly connected to it to rotate synchronously. This causes the worm gear to drive the worm wheel connected to it to rotate, which in turn drives the guide rod fixedly connected to its shaft to rotate. This causes the guide rod to drive the worm A fixedly connected to it to rotate synchronously, which in turn drives the worm wheel A fixedly connected to it to rotate. This causes the worm wheel A fixedly connected to its shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the long shaft fixedly connected to it to rotate. This causes the long shaft to drive the worm B fixedly connected to it to rotate, which in turn drives the worm wheel B fixedly connected to it to rotate. This causes the worm wheel B fixedly connected to its shaft to rotate synchronously, which in turn drives the fan blade shaft fixedly connected to it to rotate. Simultaneously, the heating wire inside the casing begins to heat up, and under the negative pressure airflow generated by the rotating fan blades, the temperature inside the casing begins to rise.

[0018] 2. After the cement mortar inside the cylinder has solidified, the relevant technicians remove the cement block from the cylinder and place it on the support. At the same time, they manually turn the rocker arm, which drives the screw fixed to it to rotate. This causes the screw to drive the threaded slide cylinder connected to it to move linearly along the slide rail at its connection with the sleeve. The slide cylinder then drives the tie rods hinged on both sides, which in turn pull the clamping rods hinged to them. This causes the clamping rods to drive the clamping plates hinged to them to rotate synchronously, thus clamping the cement block placed on the support. After clamping, the relevant technicians record the numbers indicated by the pointer on the ruler to test its shrinkage performance. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0027] The specific implementation of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-6, which illustrate an embodiment of the present invention: an intelligent device and testing method for the shrinkage performance of cement mortar, comprising a housing 101, and further comprising:

[0029] Pressure ring assembly 2 is used to prevent hollow areas from forming in the cement block:

[0030] The pressure ring assembly 2 includes a cylinder 201, a push ring 202, a push rod 203, and an eccentric wheel 204. The two ends of the cylinder 201 are movably connected to the push rings 202. The two push rings 202 are hinged to the push rods 203 through hinge seats. The other ends of the two push rods 203 are rotatably connected to the push rods 203 through the guide rods at the eccentric part of the eccentric wheel 204. The two eccentric wheels 204 are rotatably connected to both sides of the housing 101 through the short shaft at their center. The housing 101 is connected to the limiting assembly 3, and the top of the housing 101 is connected to the clamping assembly 4.

[0031] Specifically, a main shaft 205 is fixedly connected to the other side of the axis of the two eccentric wheels 204. The main shaft 205 is rotatably connected to the housing 101. A gear 209 is fixedly connected to either of the main shafts 205. The gear 209 meshes with the output gear of the motor 2001. The motor 2001 is fixedly connected to the housing 101.

[0032] Specifically, a worm gear 206 is fixedly connected to the short shaft of another eccentric wheel 204. The worm gear 206 is meshed with the output gear of the worm wheel 207. A guide rod 208 is fixedly connected to the center of the worm wheel 207. The guide rod 208 is rotatably connected to the housing 101 and is connected to the negative pressure component 5.

[0033] Specifically, the negative pressure component 5 includes a worm A501, a worm wheel A502, and a long shaft 503. The worm A501 is fixedly connected to the guide rod 208. The worm A501 is meshed with the worm wheel A502. The long shaft 503 is fixedly connected to the axis of the worm wheel A502. The long shaft 503 is rotatably connected to the housing 101.

[0034] Specifically, a plurality of worm gears B504 are fixedly connected to the long shaft 503, and the plurality of worm gears B504 are respectively meshed with worm wheels B505. A fan blade shaft 506 is fixedly connected to the axis of the worm wheel B505. The plurality of fan blade shafts 506 are rotatably connected to the housing 101, and fan blades 507 are fixedly connected to the fan blade shafts 506.

[0035] Specifically, the limiting component 3 includes a base plate 301, a left-hand lead screw 302, and a right-hand lead screw 303. The left-hand lead screw 302 is rotatably connected in the groove of the base plate 301. The other end of the left-hand lead screw 302 is fixedly connected to the right-hand lead screw 303, and the other end of the right-hand lead screw 303 is rotatably connected to the base plate 301.

[0036] Specifically, the left-hand lead screw 302 and the right-hand lead screw 303 are respectively threaded with slide rods 305. The slide rods 305 are slidably connected to the base plate 301 through the slide rail in the groove of the base plate 301. The two slide rods 305 are respectively fixedly connected with clamps 306. The left-hand lead screw 302 is fixedly connected with a lever 304.

[0037] In this embodiment of the invention, a technician places the cylinder 201 between two worm gears 206 and manually rotates the lever 304, causing the lever 304 to rotate the left-hand lead screw 302 fixedly connected to it. The left-hand lead screw 302 then rotates the right-hand lead screw 303 fixedly connected to it, causing the sliding rods 305 threadedly connected to the left-hand and right-hand lead screws 302 and 303 to move linearly along the slide rails at their connection to the housing 101. This causes the two sliding rods 305 to move the clamping plates 306 fixedly connected to them in opposite linear directions, thus allowing the two clamping plates 306 to cooperate and clamp the cylinder 201. At this point, the technician starts the motor. 2001, the motor 2001 drives the gear 209, which meshes with its output gear, to rotate. This gear 209 then drives the main shaft 205, which is fixedly connected to its shaft, to rotate. The main shaft 205, in conjunction with its transmission connection 2002, begins to rotate. This causes the two main shafts 205 to drive the eccentric wheels 204, which are fixedly connected to them, to rotate. This causes the push rod 203, eccentrically connected to the eccentric wheel 204, to begin circular motion. The push rod 203 then pushes the push ring 202, which is hinged to it, causing the push ring 202 to move linearly along the slide rail at its connection with the housing 101. This allows the push ring 202 to enter the cylinder 201 along both sides. In step 1, at this point, the relevant technicians begin injecting mortar into the cylinder 201 through the injection holes. After filling, the injection holes on the cylinder 201 are blocked, and the motor 2001 is restarted. This causes the two push rings 202 to cooperate and press the cement mortar inside the cylinder 201, thus preventing the cement mortar inside the cylinder 201 from becoming hollow. At the same time, when the eccentric wheel 204 rotates, it drives the worm gear 206 fixedly connected to it to rotate synchronously. This causes the worm gear 206 to drive the worm wheel 207 meshing with it to start rotating. This causes the worm wheel 207 to drive the guide rod 208 fixedly connected to its shaft to start rotating. This causes the guide rod 208 to drive the worm gear A501 fixedly connected to it to rotate synchronously. This causes the worm gear A501 to drive the worm wheel A502, which meshes with it, to start rotating. The worm wheel A502 then drives the long shaft 503, which is fixed at its center, to start rotating. The long shaft 503 then drives the worm gear B504, which is fixedly connected to it, to start rotating. The worm gear B504 then drives the worm wheel B505, which meshes with it, to start rotating. The worm wheel B505 then drives the fan blade shaft 506, which is fixedly connected to its center, to rotate synchronously. The fan blade shaft 506 then drives the fan blade 507, which is fixedly connected to it, to start rotating. At the same time, the heating wire inside the housing 101 starts to heat up. Under the action of the negative pressure airflow generated by the rotation of the fan blade 507, the temperature inside the housing 101 starts to rise.

[0038] Specifically, the clamping assembly 4 includes a sleeve 401, a clamping rod 402, a pull rod 403, and a sliding cylinder 404. The sleeve 401 is fixedly connected to the housing 101. The clamping rod 402 is hinged to both sides of the sleeve 401. The clamping rod 402 is hinged to the pull rod 403 through a hinge seat in its middle. The other end of the pull rod 403 is hinged to the sliding cylinder 404. The sliding cylinder 404 is slidably connected to the sleeve 401 through a slider on the sleeve 401.

[0039] Specifically, the clamping rod 402 is hinged to the clamping plate 405 via a hinge seat, the clamping plate 405 is fixedly connected to the pointer 406, a lead screw 407 is rotatably connected in the sleeve 401, the lead screw 407 is threadedly connected to the slide cylinder 404 in the slide cylinder 404, and a rocker arm 408 is fixedly connected to the other end of the lead screw 407.

[0040] Specifically, a ruler plate 409 is fixedly connected to the housing 101, and a bracket 4001 is fixedly connected to the housing 101.

[0041] In this embodiment of the invention, after the cement mortar inside the cylinder 201 solidifies, the relevant technicians remove the cement block from the cylinder 201 and place it on the support 4001. At the same time, they manually rotate the rocker arm 408, causing the rocker arm 408 to drive the screw rod 407 fixedly connected to it to start rotating. This causes the screw rod 407 to drive the slide cylinder 404 threadedly connected to it to start moving linearly along the slide rail at its connection with the sleeve 401. The slide cylinder 404 then drives the pull rods 403 hinged on both sides, causing the pull rods 403 to pull the clamping rods 402 hinged to them. This causes the clamping rods 402 to drive the clamping plates 405 hinged to them to rotate synchronously, thus causing the clamping plates 405 to clamp the cement block placed on the support 4001. After clamping, the relevant technicians record the number indicated by the pointer 406 on the ruler 409 to test its shrinkage performance.
