Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of containers for measuring apparent density, and in particular, to a container for measuring the apparent density of sand and gravel. Background Art

[0002] For sand and gravel aggregates used in concrete, the volume is measured using the liquid displacement method. The volume at this time is the sum of the solid volume and the closed pore volume, that is, it does not include the volume of open pores connected to the outside world. Since sand and gravel are relatively dense, there are few pores, and the open pore volume is even less, so the density measured by the liquid displacement method is also called apparent density.

[0003] The common method of measuring apparent density is to put the hanging basket into a bucket filled with water, record the volume of water discharged by the hanging basket in the bucket, then put the sample in the hanging basket, put the hanging basket and the sample into the bucket together, and record the volume of water discharged by the hanging basket and the sample in the bucket. Since water overflows from the top of the bucket and flows around the edge of the bucket in a divergent shape, it is difficult to collect the discharged water, which can easily result in incomplete collection of the discharged water and incorrect recorded data.

[0029] Reference Figure 1-4 ,

[0030] A container for measuring the apparent density of sand and gravel comprises: a water bucket 1, a hanging basket 2 and a valve 3. The water bucket 1 is a cylindrical structure with an opening at the upper end, and the hanging basket 2 is placed into the water bucket 1 from the upper end of the water bucket 1. An overflow hole is provided at the upper part of the water bucket 1, and the overflow hole transversely penetrates the inner wall and the outer wall of the water bucket 1, and is used to guide the water when it is discharged out of the bucket. One end of the valve 3 is welded to the outer wall of the water bucket 1, and the valve 3 is connected to the overflow hole, and is used to close the overflow hole when the user fills water into the water bucket 1. When it is necessary to measure the volume of water discharged from the hanging basket 2 or the hanging basket 2 and the sample, the operator opens the valve 3, and the water is discharged from the water bucket 1 along the overflow hole and the valve 3.

[0031] Specifically, it also includes: a retaining ring 4. The lower end of the retaining ring 4 is detachably connected to the upper end of the bucket 1. Before putting the hanging basket 2 or the hanging basket 2 and the sample into the bucket 1, the user removes the retaining ring 4 from the bucket 1, and after the hanging basket 2 or the hanging basket 2 and the sample are put into the bucket 1, the retaining ring 4 is installed back to the upper end of the bucket 1. The inner diameter of the retaining ring 4 gradually decreases from bottom to top, forming a contraction toward the axis of the bucket 1. When the user shakes the hanging basket 2 up and down to fully write out the sample and water, the retaining ring 4 prevents the water from overflowing from the upper end of the bucket 1 when the hanging basket 2 is shaken, causing waste.

[0032] In this embodiment, the lower end of the retaining ring 4 forms an internal thread, and the upper end of the water bucket 1 forms an external thread. The internal thread and the external thread are engaged with each other so that the retaining ring 4 is detachably connected to the water bucket 1.

[0033] In another embodiment, magnetic material is applied to the lower end of the guard ring 4, and magnetic material is also applied to the upper end of the bucket 1. The magnetic material can be a permanent magnet. The lower end of the guard ring 4 and the upper end of the bucket 1 attract each other so that the guard ring 4 can be detachably connected to the bucket 1.

[0034] Specifically, the hanging basket 2 includes: a net bucket 5 and a handle 6. Both ends of the handle 6 are rotatably connected to the upper part of the net bucket 5, so that the user can hold the handle 6 to put the net bucket 5 into the water bucket 1 and take it out of the water bucket 1.

[0035] Specifically, the middle part of the handle 6 is bent, and when weighing the hanging basket 2, the hook of the balance is hooked on the bent part of the handle 6 to prevent the hanging basket 2 from tilting and overturning when the hanging basket 2 is hung on the balance, causing the sample to scatter.

[0036] Specifically, the hanging basket 2 also includes: guide wheels 7. Multiple groups of guide wheels 7 are arranged around the outer wall of the net barrel 5. In this embodiment, four groups are arranged equidistantly around the lower end of the net barrel 5. The guide wheels 7 are rotatably connected to the net barrel 5 through bearings, and the axes of the four groups of guide wheels 7 are parallel to the ground. After the hanging basket 2 is placed in the water bucket 1, the four groups of guide wheels 7 are in rolling contact with the inner wall of the water bucket 1, and the guide wheels 7 are in contact with the inner bottom surface of the water bucket 1. When the user shakes the hanging basket 2 up and down, the four groups of guide wheels 7 roll along the inner wall of the water bucket 1, thereby guiding the lower end of the hanging basket 2, preventing the lower end of the hanging basket 2 from becoming unstable due to the buoyancy of the water and the pulling force of the user during the shaking process, causing the hanging basket 2 to overturn.

[0037] Specifically, it also includes: a hose 8. The hose 8 is an existing flexible plastic pipe, and the hose 8 is connected to the end of the valve 3 facing the outside of the bucket 1 by a snap connection, so that the user can extend the water discharged from the valve 3 to other positions and to any direction. The user can also connect the other end of the hose 8 to an external water source, such as a faucet. The user turns on the faucet and the valve 3, and the water flows into the bucket 1 along the hose 8, the valve 3 and the overflow hole, thereby filling the bucket with water.

[0038] The above descriptions are only some preferred embodiments of the present disclosure and an explanation of the technical principles used. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the invention involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure is not limited to the technical solutions formed by a specific combination of the above-mentioned technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by any combination of the above-mentioned technical features or their equivalent features without departing from the above-mentioned inventive concept. For example, the above-mentioned features are replaced with the technical features with similar functions disclosed in the embodiments of the present disclosure (but not limited to) and the technical solutions formed.
