Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of concrete transportation, and more specifically relates to a concrete anti-solidification transport device. Background Art
[0002] The field of concrete transportation technology refers to the use of various methods to efficiently deliver concrete to construction sites. Traditional methods include concrete mixer trucks and concrete pumps. The former is suitable for short-distance transportation and small-scale projects, while the latter can quickly and efficiently transport concrete to high-rise buildings or remote construction sites. In recent years, electric concrete mixer trucks and automated pump trucks have developed technology that improves energy efficiency and environmental friendliness. In addition, researchers are exploring the use of drones or automated loading systems to improve transportation efficiency and safety. Advances in concrete transportation technology have not only increased construction speed and quality, but also demonstrated potential for reducing carbon emissions and energy consumption.
[0003] A concrete mixer truck is a vehicle specifically designed for mixing and transporting concrete. It typically consists of a mixing tank, a drive system, and an operating control system. The tank incorporates a special spiral agitator that blends cement, sand, gravel, and water to create a uniform, even mix. The drive system, typically powered by an engine, rotates the tank continuously, ensuring mixing quality and preventing the concrete from solidifying during transport. The operator typically controls mixing speed and direction, as well as unloading, through a control panel.
[0004] The mixing tanks of existing concrete mixer trucks are often exposed to the outside environment. This makes them susceptible to weather-related corrosion, wear, and leakage. Furthermore, when operating in dry conditions, especially in summer, external heat can diffuse into the tank, causing the concrete inside to solidify into lumps. Furthermore, when operating in cold weather, especially at high altitudes, the ambient temperature can penetrate the tank, causing the concrete inside to solidify into lumps due to the excessively low temperature.

[0035] Example
[0036] The mixing tanks of existing concrete mixer trucks are often exposed to the outside environment. This makes them susceptible to weather-related corrosion, wear, and leakage. Furthermore, when operating in dry conditions, especially in summer, external heat can diffuse into the tank, causing the concrete inside to solidify into lumps. Furthermore, when operating in cold weather, especially at high altitudes, the ambient temperature can penetrate the tank, causing the concrete inside to solidify into lumps due to the excessively low temperature.
[0037] Based on this, in order to solve the problem that the concrete in the mixing tank is easily solidified into a block solid due to temperature changes caused by the mixing tank being directly exposed to the external environment, this embodiment provides a concrete anti-solidification transfer device, referring to Figure 1-4The device includes: a mixing tank 1, an isolation cover 2, a flexible pipe 3, and a temperature control component. The mixing tank 1 is hung obliquely on the vehicle body and can rotate relative to the vehicle body under the action of the drive motor to mix the concrete. Specifically, a mixing blade is provided in the mixing tank 1, and the mixing blade can rotate as the mixing tank 1 rotates, thereby mixing the concrete. The isolation cover 2 is wrapped around the mixing tank 1, and one end of the isolation cover 2 is directly hung on the end of the mixing tank 1 away from the drive motor. The isolation cover 2 can be pulled from the end away from the drive motor to the end close to the drive motor by the operator, thereby covering most of the area of the mixing tank 1, wherein the isolation cover 2 has a fixed end for fixing to the vehicle body, and the fixed end can be detachably fixed by bolts or buckles. A spiral flexible pipe 3 is fixedly hung on the inner wall of the isolation cover 2, and the temperature control component is detachably connected to the flexible pipe 3 by fasteners such as flanges or buckles, and the temperature control component is fixed to the vehicle body. In this device, when the mixing tank 1 needs to be covered to avoid being affected by the high or low temperature outside, the operator first pulls the isolation cover 2, pulls the isolation cover 2 from one end of the mixing tank 1 to the other end, and then connects the flexible pipe 3 to the temperature control component, and finally fixes the isolation cover 2 on the vehicle body. The operator then turns on the temperature control component to continuously heat up or cool down the flexible pipe 3, that is, when the external environment temperature is too high, the flexible pipe 3 is cooled by the temperature control component, and when the external environment temperature is too low, the flexible pipe 3 is heated by the temperature control component. Through the above operation, the mixing tank 1 can be prevented from direct contact with the external environment, effectively protecting the mixing tank 1 from corrosion, wear, leakage and other phenomena caused by the influence of weather; at the same time, the temperature of the external environment can be effectively isolated, thereby avoiding the phenomenon that the external temperature is transferred to the inside of the mixing tank 1 and causes the concrete to solidify into a block-like solid.
[0038] In this embodiment, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The isolation cover 2 is a flexible bellows structure, and the flexible pipe 3 is arranged in the folds of the isolation cover 2. The side of the flexible bellows facing the mixing tank 1 is a flat structure to prevent interference with the flexible pipe 3 when the mixing tank 1 rotates. The flexible bellows structure is ductile and can stretch or contract, making it easier for operators to operate.
[0039] In this embodiment, a support frame 12 is fixedly connected to the side of the vehicle body away from the driving end of the mixing tank 1, and one end of the isolation cover 2 is hung on the support frame 12. The support frame 12 provides support for the mixing tank 1. For details, refer to Figure 3The support frame 12 includes a base 121 and a fixing ring 122. The base 121 is fixed to the vehicle body, and the fixing ring 122 is provided on the base 121. The isolation cover 2 is passed through the fixing ring 122 and is hung with the fixing ring 122. A sliding groove 123 is provided on the side of the fixing ring 122 facing the isolation cover 2. An adjustment block 124 is clamped in the sliding groove 123, and the isolation cover 2 is hung on the adjustment block 124. When the isolation cover 2 is twisted due to external force, the adjustment block 124 is moved relative to the position in the sliding groove 123 to straighten the isolation cover 2, thereby preventing the flexible pipe 3 from being damaged by the force caused by the twisting of the isolation cover 2.
[0040] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The temperature control component includes: a water supply tank 4, a first water pump 5, a heater 6, a water collecting tank 8, and a second water pump 9 connected in sequence. Finally, the second water pump 9 is connected to the water supply tank 4 to form a loop. Specifically, the water supply tank 4 is fixed on the vehicle body, and one end of the first water pump 5 is connected to the water supply tank 4 through a first pipe. The heater 6 is provided with a water inlet and a water outlet. The water inlet is connected to the other end of the first water pump 5 through a second pipe 7, and the water outlet is connected to one end of the flexible pipe 3. The water collecting tank 8 is fixed on the vehicle body and is connected to the other end of the flexible pipe 3; the second water pump 9 is arranged adjacent to the water collecting tank 8 and is connected to the water collecting tank 8. The second water pump 9 is connected to the water supply tank 4 through a third pipe 10. The circuits of the heater 6, the first water pump 5, and the second water pump 9 are all connected to the vehicle console for starting or shutting down. In this solution, the heater 6, first water pump 5, and second water pump 9 are powered on or off via the vehicle-mounted control console (specifically, the vehicle-mounted power system) to start or stop them. When the flexible pipe 3 is connected to the water supply tank 4 via the first pipeline, the water supply tank 4 can provide water to the flexible pipe 3, cooling the entire isolation cover 2 and effectively reducing the temperature transmitted from the external environment to the isolation cover 2. Similarly, when the external ambient temperature is too low, the heater 6 is activated using the vehicle-mounted control console. The water flowing through the flexible pipe 3 is now hot water, which can heat the entire isolation cover 2 and effectively increase the temperature transmitted from the external environment to the isolation cover 2. This process effectively prevents the external ambient temperature from affecting the mixing tank 1.
[0041] It should be noted that the on-board power system in this solution is connected to the heater 6, the first water pump 5, and the second water pump 9 circuit, specifically referring to the battery system of the concrete mixer truck. The battery system is connected to the heater 6, the first water pump 5, and the second water pump 9 through buttons, and the power supply paths of the heater 6, the first water pump 5, and the second water pump 9 are started through buttons.
[0042] In some embodiments, the water supply tank 4 is located near the front of the vehicle and is provided with a ventilation duct. The ventilation duct of the water supply tank 4 can introduce air from the vehicle into the water supply tank 4 to cool or heat the water in the water supply tank 4. The driver can assist in adjusting the water temperature of the water supply tank 4 by turning on the air conditioning equipment in the vehicle. That is, when summer comes, the driver turns on the cold air from the air conditioner in the vehicle, and the cold air from the air conditioner in the vehicle can enter the water supply tank 4 through the ventilation duct to cool the water in the water supply tank 4. When winter comes or the vehicle enters a high-altitude area and the external ambient temperature is too low, the driver turns on the hot air from the air conditioner in the vehicle, and the hot air from the air conditioner in the vehicle can enter the water supply tank 4 through the ventilation duct to heat the water in the water supply tank 4.
[0043] In the above embodiment, reference Figure 1 A pressure relief valve 11 is provided on the top of the water supply tank 4. When the pressure inside the water supply tank 4 exceeds the threshold of the pressure relief valve 11, the pressure relief valve 11 is opened to discharge the gas inside the water supply tank 4. Since the entire water circulation path is a closed loop, the pressure relief valve 11 is required to release the gas pressure inside the water supply tank 4 to prevent the water supply tank 4 from bursting due to excessive pressure, thereby improving the safety of the device.

"Multiple" means at least two, such as two or three, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited.
[0045] In this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "installed," "connected," "connect," "fixed," etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection, electrical connection, or communication; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; internal communication between two elements or interaction between two elements, unless otherwise specified.
