DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the utility model is clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification.

[0016] Embodiment 1:

[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment relates to a device for rapid measurement of moisture content of concrete aggregate based on near-infrared light, including a near-infrared moisture measurement module 111 , a computer and host computer software 12 , a lifting device 14 , and a sample bucket 15 .

[0018] The near-infrared moisture determination module 111 includes a photoelectric conversion plate 2, an optical path component 3, an infrared light-emitting tube 4, an infrared light source turntable 5, a rotating shaft 6, a motor 7, a light converter 8, a control processing unit 9, a digital processing unit 10, and an analysis control and transmission unit 11; the infrared light source turntable 5 is a disk structure, the center of which is connected to the rotating shaft 6, and a plurality of infrared light-emitting tubes 4 with different infrared wavelengths are arranged on the infrared light source turntable 5, for example, the wavelengths are 950nm, 1050nm, 1350nm, 1200nm, 1400nm, and 1650nm; each infrared light-emitting tube 4 is evenly distributed on the circumference of a circle with the axis of the rotating shaft 6 as the circle; the rotating shaft 6 is connected to the motor 7 of the light converter 8, and the light converter 8 drives the infrared light source turntable 5 through the motor 7 to realize the switching of light sources with different infrared wavelengths; The optical path component 3 is matched with the infrared light emitting tube 4. After the infrared light source turntable 5 stops rotating, all the infrared light emitting tubes 4 will stop precisely at the only fixed position of the light source of the optical path component 3. The light of the infrared light emitting tube 4 passes through the optical path component 3 to reach the sample material 1 to be measured and is reflected and concentrated on the photoelectric conversion board 2; the photoelectric conversion board 2 is connected to the digital processing unit 10, which is used to analyze and process the photoelectric signal converted by the photoelectric conversion board 2; the digital processing unit 10 is connected to the analysis control and transmission unit 11, and the analysis control and transmission unit 11 is also connected to the control processing unit 9, and the control processing unit 9 is connected to the optical converter 8. The analysis control and transmission unit 11 collects and analyzes the data of the digital processing unit 10, and coordinates the control processing unit 9 to adjust the optical converter 8 to switch to different infrared wavelengths for measurement according to the data analysis results.

[0019] like Figure 2As shown, the analysis control and transmission unit 11 is connected to the computer and the host computer software 12, and realizes data interaction with the computer and the host computer software 12. The computer and the host computer software 12 are provided with an operation button 13, and the operation button 13 is connected to the lifting device 14 for lifting the near-infrared moisture determination module 111. A sample barrel 15 and a stirring unit of the sample barrel 15 are arranged below the near-infrared moisture determination module 111. The stirring unit includes a stirring shaft and blades 16, and a stirring motor 17. The operation button 13 is also connected to a controller 18 for controlling the stirring motor 17. The analysis control and transmission unit 11 controls the stirring unit of the sample barrel 15 to achieve stirring of the fine aggregate material sample to be tested. The analysis control and transmission unit 11 can also lift the near-infrared moisture determination module 111 by controlling the lifting device 14, so as to facilitate manual placement of the sample material 1 to be tested into the sample barrel 15. The above technical solution realizes human-machine interactive control of the stirring motor 17 and the lifting device 14 of the stirring unit to realize automated operation.

[0020] During measurement, the infrared light emitting tube 4 emits infrared light of a specific wavelength, which is processed by the optical path component 3 and then irradiates the parallel light onto the sample material 1 to be measured. Part of the infrared light is absorbed by the sample, and the other part of the infrared light is scattered and collected by the concave mirror of the optical path component 3 to the near-infrared sensor on the photoelectric conversion board 2.

[0021] To facilitate on-site measurement, the bottom of the moisture content rapid measuring device is equipped with a walking wheel 19, and the instrument is powered by a battery 20, making the measurement more convenient. Preferably, the moisture content rapid measuring device is powered by a 48 watt (24V*2A) lithium battery to achieve uniform stirring and measurement, and each measurement time does not exceed 2 minutes, with low power consumption, energy saving and environmental protection.

[0022] When measuring, first push the measuring device to the part that needs to be measured. The depth of the fine aggregate bin varies from 10 to 30 meters, the width varies from 6 to 15 meters, the height of the retaining wall is nearly 4 meters, and the fine aggregate stock varies from 1,000 to 2,000 tons. Therefore, the moisture content of fine aggregate in the same bin will vary in different parts. In order to make the sample more representative, the upper, middle and lower parts of the forklift loading part in the fine aggregate bin can be sampled. Control the lifting device 14 to lift the near-infrared moisture determination module 111, pour all fine aggregate samples into the sample barrel 15 of the measuring equipment, the sample barrel 15 automatically stirs, and the three types of fine aggregates in the upper, middle and lower parts are evenly stirred, and the lifting device 14 is controlled to lower the near-infrared moisture determination module 111. Turn on the computer and the host computer software 12, start measuring and record and upload the measurement results.

[0023] The utility model can be used for real-time measurement of the moisture content of fine aggregate at the loading position of a forklift in a fine aggregate bin, realizing fast and convenient (sampling at any position on site and measuring as the sampling is performed) detection of the moisture content of fine aggregate, improving measurement efficiency and sample representativeness, and the measurement result storage device can also be uploaded to a remote server in real time.

[0024] The utility model has a fast measurement speed, and the sampling can be carried out at any time according to the actual situation on site. The total time from pouring the sample into the sample barrel 15 to completing the measurement does not exceed 2 minutes after sampling. It avoids the problem that the traditional method needs to take samples from the silo and send them to the central laboratory or test group, which is far away, and the moisture content may change due to human factors or climate after sampling, resulting in the problem that the sample is not representative.

[0025] The above-mentioned specific implementation methods are only specific cases of the present utility model. The patent protection scope of the present utility model includes but is not limited to the above-mentioned specific implementation methods. Any appropriate changes or modifications made to them by ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field in accordance with the claims of the present utility model shall fall within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
