Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ultra-high performance concrete steam curing, in particular to a steam curing device for UHPC beams and slabs. Background Art

[0002] UHPC is primarily composed of cement, silica fume, fly ash, water-reducing agent, quartz sand, and steel fiber. Constructed according to the principle of maximum density, the pores between the material particles are filled with smaller-sized materials, minimizing internal pores and microcracks. Its high density provides ultra-high strength and excellent durability. The steel fibers dispersed within UHPC significantly slow the expansion of microcracks within the material, giving it exceptional toughness. UHPC does not contain coarse aggregate, and the cement used is of a high strength grade and in large quantities, resulting in significant shrinkage. To improve the strength and density of UHPC and mitigate the adverse effects of later hydration (such as shrinkage, cracking, and creep), UHPC should be fully steam-cured at high temperatures to ensure that the room-temperature hydratable cementitious materials complete hydration as quickly as possible, minimizing later changes over time.

[0003] The applicant has developed a steam curing system for UHPC segmental beams, comprising a folding telescopic frame and a sealed heat shield. When extended, the folding telescopic frame forms a curing chamber for the UHPC segmental beams. The sealed heat shield is located outside the folding telescopic frame. Due to the high temperature and high water content in the curing chamber during steam curing, the folding telescopic frame is susceptible to corrosion, increasing curing costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to provide a steam curing device for UHPC beams and slabs, so as to solve the problem that the folding telescopic frame is easily corroded in the curing cavity, resulting in increased costs.

[0006] The principle and advantages of this solution are as follows: A folding telescopic frame is stretched and placed on the curing ground. Side hoods are then secured to the inside of the folding telescopic frame. A top hood is placed on top of the side hoods, covering and sealing the tops of the side hoods. The bottom of the top hood is secured to the folding telescopic frame. The top and side hoods are then filled with gas, and the connection between the top and side hoods is sealed through gas filling, forming a closed curing chamber. During UHPC beam curing, UHPC beams can be placed and removed by opening either the side or top hood.

[0007] This solution adopts a split design of the sealed heat insulation cover, which makes it easy to open the top sealed cover and facilitate the lifting of the UHPC beam; by setting the folding telescopic frame on the outside of the side sealed cover, the folding telescopic frame is effectively protected to prevent corrosion of the folding telescopic frame; the side sealed cover and the top sealed cover are used to reduce heat loss and energy waste, while preventing the telescopic folding frame from being easily damaged in a high temperature environment; the top sealed cover and the side sealed cover are convenient for transportation and installation; the gas expansion is used to improve the sealing performance of the connection between the top sealed cover and the side sealed cover.

At the same time, the fixed absorbent can also seal the inner side of the side enclosure, ensuring the sealing of the side enclosure.

[0012] Preferably, as an improvement, a connecting net is further included, the connecting net being located outside the top enclosed cover, with both sides of the connecting net being fixed to the folding and telescopic frames.

[0024] The top sealed cover 2 covers the side sealed cover 1, and both sides of the top sealed cover 2 are fixed to the folding and telescopic frames 3 on the corresponding sides. The top sealed cover 2 covers and seals the top of the side sealed cover 1, and the bottom of the top sealed cover 2 is fixed to the folding and telescopic frames 3. The expansion of gas improves the sealing performance of the connection between the top sealed cover 2 and the side sealed cover 1; the side sealed cover 1 and the top sealed cover 2 are used to reduce heat loss and energy waste.

[0025] The top sealed cover 2 and the side sealed cover 1 are enclosed and connected in a sealed manner, and the sealed heat insulation cover is designed to be split, which makes it easy to open the top sealed cover 2 and to use the lifting equipment to lift the UHPC beam; the top sealed cover 2 and the side sealed cover 1 are convenient for transportation and installation; when maintaining the UHPC beam, the UHPC beam can be taken in and out by opening the side sealed cover 1 or the top sealed cover 2.

The inflation tube 5 in this embodiment is made of plastic. After inflation, the inflation tube 5 is partially retained on the foldable and telescopic frame 3, thus securing the side enclosure 1 to the foldable and telescopic frame 3.

[0035] Both the side closed cover 1 and the top closed cover 2 are provided with ventilation holes. The ventilation holes facilitate the discharge of the gas in the curing chamber formed by the side closed cover 1 and the top closed cover 2 to avoid the high temperature steam from causing harm to the workers after the curing is completed.
