[0033] The present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] The present application discloses a penetration resistance meter for measuring the setting time of concrete mixture, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The penetration resistance meter includes a rectangular base 1, a pressure sensor 11 is installed in the base 1, a measuring component is provided on the base 1, a rectangular movable opening 2 is opened on the top surface of the base 1, a sliding plate 3 is slidably provided at the bottom of the movable opening 2, a mold barrel 4 is rotatably connected to the sliding plate 3, and a sprocket ring 41 is provided on the bottom peripheral wall of the mold barrel 4. A driving sprocket 13 and a driven sprocket 14 are rotatably provided at both ends of the length direction of the side away from the column 5 in the base 1, a handwheel 131 is fixed to the driving sprocket 13 by bolts, and the handwheel 131 is rotatably provided on the top surface of the base 1, a chain 15 is wound around the driving sprocket 13 and the driven sprocket 14, and the chain 15 is engaged with the sprocket ring 41 near the column 5.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The measuring assembly includes a column, the column 5 is fixed to the side wall of one side of the length direction of the base 1 by bolts, and a measuring device 12 electrically connected to the pressure sensor 11 is installed at the end of the column 5 away from the base 1. The column 5 is fixed with a support arm 6 by bolts at a section away from the base 1, and the support arm 6 is integrally formed with a support rod 7 at a section close to the column 5. The top of the support rod 7 is processed to form a rotating column 71, and the end of the support arm 6 away from the column 5 is processed to form a positioning sleeve 61. The top of the support rod 7 is rotatably connected to the pressure rod 8, and one end of the pressure rod 8 is provided with a first strip hole 81. The first strip hole A first sliding shaft 52 is slidably provided in the shaped hole 81, a connecting groove 51 is opened at a section of the column 5 away from the base 1, both ends of the first sliding shaft 52 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting groove 51, the other end of the pressure rod 8 is processed to form a handle 83, a penetration column 9 is inserted in the positioning sleeve 61, a fork 91 is formed at the top of the penetration column 9, a second sliding shaft 92 is passed through the top of the fork 91, a second strip hole 82 is opened at a section of the pressure rod 8 close to the handle 83, the second sliding shaft 92 is passed through and slides in the second strip hole 82, and a penetration needle 93 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the penetration column 9.

[0036] When using this penetration resistance meter, the concrete mixture to be tested is loaded into the mold barrel 4, and the handle 83 is pressed to rotate the pressure rod 8 with the rotating column 71 as the axis. At the same time, the first sliding shaft 52 and the second sliding shaft 92 slide in the first strip hole 81 and the second strip hole 82 respectively. The pressure rod 8 presses the second sliding shaft 92 to make the penetration column 9 slide vertically downward along the positioning sleeve 61 to ensure that the penetration column 9 can move vertically downward smoothly. The handle 83 is continuously pressed until the penetration needle 93 is inserted into the concrete mixture, and the current penetration resistance is read by the measuring device 12.

[0037] Before measuring the penetration resistance again, push the mold barrel 4 to drive the sliding plate 3 to move along the movable opening 2, and then turn the hand wheel 131 to rotate the mold barrel 4 on the sliding plate 3. After the bottom of the penetration needle 93 is away from the measured measuring point, the penetration resistance measurement can be carried out again. By moving the sliding plate 3 and turning the hand wheel 131 multiple times, it is convenient for the staff to carry out multiple concrete mixture setting time measurements, reducing the staff fatigue caused by repeated movement of the mold barrel.

[0038] Reference Figure 2A worm 10 is rotatably mounted on the side of the base 1 away from the column 5. One end of the worm 10 extends outside the base 1 and is bolted to a rocking wheel 101. A rack 31 is bolted to the side of the sliding plate 3 away from the column 5. The rack 31 meshes with the worm 10. When using the penetration resistance meter, rotating the rocking wheel 101 causes the worm 10 to rotate. The rack 31, meshed with the worm 10, drives the sliding plate 3 along the movable opening 2, facilitating movement of the mold barrel 4. Simultaneously, the meshing of the worm wheel and the rack 31 creates a self-locking effect, increasing the stability of the sliding plate 3 in the movable opening 2 during measurement. This facilitates multiple measurements of the setting time of concrete mixtures and reduces fatigue caused by repeated movement of the mold barrel.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 An L-shaped sliding groove 16 is defined on the side of the base 1 facing away from the column 5. This groove is located at the end of the base 1 facing away from the driving sprocket 13. The opening of the sliding groove 16 communicates with the top surface of the base 1. A driven sprocket 14 slides within the sliding groove 16. A moving rod is bolted to the top of the driven sprocket 14. When using the penetration resistance meter, pushing the moving rod causes the driven sprocket 14 to move along the sliding groove 16 until it reaches the end of the groove 16 closest to the driving sprocket 13. At this point, the chain 15 is no longer tensioned, making it easier for operators to remove and place the mold drum 4, allowing for multiple concrete mixture setting time measurements.

[0040] Reference Figure 3 A slot 84 is formed on the compression rod 8, away from the handle 83, to mate with the rotating column 71. Multiple slots 84 are provided along the length of the compression rod 8. When using the penetration resistance meter, the compression rod 8 is pulled to engage different slots 84 within the rotating column 71, thereby adjusting the distance between the handle 83 and the rotating column 71. This allows the operator to adjust the required downward pressure according to the degree of concrete setting, facilitating multiple measurements of the setting time of concrete mixtures.

[0041] Reference and Figure 1 and Figure 2 The bottom of the movable opening 2 is provided with a guide groove 21, and the bottom of the sliding plate 3 is integrally formed with a guide block 32 that cooperates with the guide groove 21. When the penetration resistance meter is used, the guide block 32 can move along the guide groove 21, ensuring that the sliding plate 3 moves smoothly within the movable opening 2 and at the same time ensuring the stability of the sliding plate 3 when the mold barrel 4 rotates on the sliding plate 3.

[0042] Reference Figure 3 The second sliding shaft 92 is provided with a sliding sleeve 921 around its circumference. When the penetration resistance meter is used, the sliding sleeve 921 can reduce the friction force when the second sliding shaft 92 slides in the second strip-shaped hole 82, making it easier for the operator to press the pressure rod 8 and perform multiple concrete mixture setting time measurements.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 An adjustment sleeve 94 is mounted on the portion of penetration column 9 away from pressure rod 8. One end of adjustment sleeve 94 is mounted on the wall of penetration needle 93 near the penetration column 9. When using this penetration resistance meter, adjustment sleeve 94 enhances the stability of the connection between penetration column 9 and penetration needle 93, ensuring that penetration needle 93 can be vertically inserted into the concrete mixture being measured.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A retaining ring 95 is formed on the top of the adjusting sleeve 94. The diameter of retaining ring 95 is larger than the diameter of the top of the positioning sleeve 61. When the penetration resistance meter is used, retaining ring 95 can be pressed downward along with the penetration column 9. Retaining ring 95 can abut against the top of the positioning sleeve 61, thereby limiting the downward pressing depth of the penetration column 9 during the pressing process and preventing the penetration needle 93 from being inserted too deeply into the concrete mixture.

[0045] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present application and is not a limitation of the present application. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to the present embodiment as needed, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present application, they are protected by the patent law.
