Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of concrete testing, in particular to a testing device for simulating an erosion environment in which the concentration of a water corrosive medium changes alternately. Background Art

[0002] Infrastructure in coastal areas operates in harsh environments. Under the influence of seawater, corrosive media such as chlorides and sulfates can cause premature failure of reinforced concrete structures. Extensive research has been conducted on the corrosion damage and durability of concrete structures in seawater environments, yielding substantial results.

[0003] However, as research continues to deepen, relevant researchers have discovered that in some river-sea confluence areas, the concentrations of corrosive media such as chloride ions and sulfate ions in the water body periodically change due to the influence of seasonal rainfall and seawater backflow. The concentration gradient is the main driving force for the transmission of corrosive ions into the interior of the concrete. However, since the concentration of corrosive media in the water body of the river-sea confluence area is significantly different from that of the relatively constant seawater, and the flow rate of the water body is also different from that of seawater, it directly affects the diffusion process of the ions. Therefore, the research results of relevant durability design and anti-corrosion technology in the seawater environment cannot be directly used for the durability design and subsequent operation and maintenance of infrastructure in the river-sea confluence area, nor are they suitable for the concentration of corrosive media in the water body of the river-sea confluence area and the alternating environmental characteristics.

[0031] refer to Figures 1 to 3 The present invention describes a test device for simulating an erosion environment in which the concentration of a corrosive medium in water changes alternately.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the test device for simulating an erosion environment in which the concentration of a corrosive medium in water alternately changes includes a water circulation pipeline 100; a solution tank 200, which is disposed on the water circulation pipeline 100 and is used to adjust the concentration of the corrosive medium in the solution; a testing mechanism 300, which is disposed on the water circulation pipeline 100 and is used to simulate a water erosion environment for concrete; and a pump body 400, which is disposed on the water circulation pipeline 100 and is used to drive liquid to flow in the water circulation pipeline 100.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the solution tank 200, the test mechanism 300 and the pump body 400 are arranged in sequence clockwise on the water circulation pipe 100. A corrosive solution is added to the solution tank 200 to simulate seawater, and the concrete specimen 10 is placed in the test mechanism 300. After reaching the specified corrosion age, the concentration of the corrosive medium in the corrosive solution is regulated to reproduce the effects of seasonal rainfall and seawater backflow, simulating the corrosion environment with alternating changes in the concentration of the water corrosive medium, providing more accurate test conditions for conducting durability research on concrete structures in river-sea confluence areas.

[0034] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the water circulation pipe 100 is made of PVC.

[0035] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, a scale is provided on the wall of the solution tank 200. Specifically, the solution tank 200 is a transparent PVC plastic solution tank 200 with a raised water level scale. The PVC plastic can effectively prevent corrosion by corrosive media such as chloride ions and sulfate ions in the corrosive solution. The transparent material allows for observation of the amount of solution in the solution tank 200. The scale provided on the wall of the solution tank 200 can accurately control the amount of corrosive medium solution in the solution tank 200, and the solution concentration can be changed in real time by adding purified water or the amount of corrosive medium salt.

[0036] Specifically, taking a 3% mass fraction NaCl corrosive solution as an example, the initial solution volume is controlled to 100L by the scale of solution tank 200. The initial corrosive medium concentration of concrete specimen 10 is 3% NaCl, which is similar to the salinity of seawater. After reaching the specified corrosion age, the amount of pure water required is quantitatively calculated based on research data on corrosive medium concentrations in actual environments. By adding a certain volume of pure water, the concentration of the corrosive medium in the water body is reduced to simulate the influx of fresh water during the rainy season. Conversely, by calculating the required chemically pure amount of corrosive medium to be added, chemically pure NaCl or other corrosive medium is added to increase the concentration to simulate the concentration of water bodies during the dry season. This achieves the regulation of the corrosive medium concentration in the corrosive solution, eliminating the need to prepare a large amount of solution and drain the entire device, significantly reducing the experimental workload and saving a large amount of chemicals.

[0037] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the water circulation pipeline 100 includes a first pipe section 110, a second pipe section 120 and a third pipe section 130. The first pipe section 110, the solution tank 200, the second pipe section 120, the testing mechanism 300 and the third pipe section 130 are arranged in sequence, and the third pipe section 130 is connected to the first pipe section 110. Figure 1 As shown, the first pipe section 110 is used to connect the water pump and the solution tank 200, the second pipe section 120 is used to connect the solution tank 200 and the testing mechanism 300, and the third pipe section 130 is used to connect the testing mechanism 300 and the water pump, thereby forming a water circulation channel.

[0038] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the testing mechanism 300 includes: a testing component 310, the input end of the testing component 310 is connected to the second pipe segment 120, the output end of the testing component 310 is connected to the third pipe segment 130, and the testing component 310 is used to limit the position of the concrete specimen 10; a first water stop valve 320, the first water stop valve 320 is arranged at the output end of the second pipe segment 120, and the first water stop valve 320 is located between the second pipe segment 120 and the third pipe segment 130; a second water stop valve 330, the second water stop valve 330 is arranged at the output end of the testing component 310, and the second water stop valve 330 is located between the testing component 310 and the third pipe segment 130.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the right end of the test assembly 310 is the input end, which is connected to the output end of the second pipe segment 120. The second pipe segment 120 is provided with a first water stop valve 320. The left end of the test assembly 310 is the output end, which is connected to the input end of the third pipe segment 130. The third pipe segment 130 is provided with a second water stop valve 330. Therefore, there is no need to empty the corrosive solution of the entire device. It is only necessary to close the first water stop valve 320 and the second water stop valve 330 to regularly take out the concrete specimen 10 in the test mechanism 300 for testing, thereby effectively reducing the difficulty of sampling and saving chemicals.

[0040] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the test assembly 310 includes: a sleeve 311, one end of the sleeve 311 is sleeved on the second pipe section 120, and the other end is sleeved on the third pipe section 130, the inner diameter of the sleeve 311 is the same as the outer diameter of the second pipe section 120, and the inner diameter of the sleeve 311 is the same as the outer diameter of the third pipe section 130, and the sleeve 311 is used to fix the concrete specimen 10; a locking member 312, the locking member 312 is set on the sleeve 311, and the locking member 312 is used to fix the sleeve 311 on the second pipe section 120 and the third pipe section 130.

[0041] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the sleeve 311 includes an upper shell 3111 and a lower shell 3112 , the upper shell 3111 and the lower shell 3112 are detachably connected, and the locking member 312 is sleeved on the outer walls of the upper shell 3111 and the lower shell 3112 .

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, the right end of the sleeve 311 is sleeved on the output end of the second pipe segment 120, and the left end of the sleeve 311 is sleeved on the input end of the third pipe segment 130. Specifically, the sleeve 311 is divided into an upper shell 3111 and a lower shell 3112, wherein the upper shell 3111 is detachably arranged on the lower shell 3112, and the upper shell 3111 and the lower shell 3112 are clamped on the outer walls of the second pipe segment 120 and the third pipe segment 130. In this specific embodiment, the locking member 312 is a hoop, which is sleeved on the outer ends of the upper shell 3111 and the lower shell 3112 to lock the two on the second pipe segment 120 and the third pipe segment 130.

[0043] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, two slots 3113 are opened in the axial direction on the inner wall of the sleeve 311, and the open ends of the two slots 3113 are arranged opposite to each other. The two slots 3113 correspond to the thickness of the concrete specimen 10, and the concrete specimen 10 is inserted into the slots 3113 along the axial direction of the sleeve 311.

[0044] like Figure 3As shown, to facilitate specimen placement, retrieval, and securement, the inner wall of the upper shell 3111 is provided with two slots 3113 along the front-to-back direction. The left and right ends of the concrete specimen 10 are inserted into the two slots 3113, respectively. This not only ensures the placement of the concrete specimen 10 within the sleeve 311, but also prevents high-speed water flow from causing the specimen to shift. It should be noted that multiple concrete specimens 10 can be placed along the extension direction of the slots 3113, and the multiple concrete specimens 10 can be arranged sequentially along the front-to-back direction, thereby increasing the reliability of the test.

[0045] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, an electromagnetic flowmeter 121 is provided on the second pipe section 120 , and the electromagnetic flowmeter 121 is used to record the flow rate of the liquid in the second pipe section 120 .

[0046] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the pump body 400 is a variable frequency water pump, which can control the water pump speed and power according to actual needs, to achieve precise adjustment of water flow, water pressure, and water flow rate, thereby simulating experiments on different typical river-sea confluence water environments.

[0047] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the initial solution volume and concentration of the solution tank 200 are controlled to be close to the salinity of seawater. After reaching the specified corrosion age, the amount of pure water required to be added is quantitatively calculated based on the survey data of the concentration of the corrosive medium in the actual environment to reduce the concentration of the corrosive medium in the water body, simulating the influx of fresh water in the rainy season, or the required amount of chemical purity is calculated, and chemical purity of corrosive media such as NaCl is added to increase the concentration to simulate the concentration of water in the dry season. By regulating the concentration of the corrosive medium in the corrosive solution, the alternating change of the concentration of the corrosive medium in the water body is simulated, and the first water stop valve 320 and the second water stop valve 330 are closed at the corresponding age to regularly remove the concrete specimen 10 in the test mechanism 300 for testing, so as to help researchers conduct durability research on concrete structures under the influence of the river-sea confluence environment where the concentration of the corrosive medium alternates.

[0048] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
