[0002] Dense concrete is a kind of concrete with high fluidity, uniformity and stability. It can flow under its own weight and fill the formwork space without the need for external vibration when pouring. During the test, the slump cone is placed in the center of the base plate. After the self-compacting concrete mixture is poured until it is flush with the upper edge of the slump cone, the slump cone is immediately lifted up to a height of about 300mm. The timing starts when the slump cone is lifted away from the base plate, and the timing stops when the outer edge of the expanded concrete touches the 500mm diameter circle on the base plate. The measured time is the expansion time (T50) of the self-compacting concrete, which is required to be accurate to 0.1s.

This easily leads to timing errors and makes it difficult to ensure the accuracy and objectivity of the test results.

The display screen 42 is set on the surface of the controller 41, and the timing module 43 is set inside the controller 41; the display screen 42 can observe the timing time, and the timing stops when the expanded outer edge of the concrete touches the circumference of the 500mm diameter on the bottom plate 1. The controller 41 can adopt PLC, and the precise control of PLC ensures the accuracy of the test time, which is accurate to 0.1s.

[0029] Reference Figure 1-3 The interior of the fixed plate 3 is fixedly connected to the mounting cylinder 5, and the interior of the mounting cylinder 5 is slidably connected to the slump cylinder 6; the slump cylinder 6 is raised and lowered in the mounting cylinder 5, which reduces the problem of manual operation, easy tilting and easy deviation, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-4 A driving mechanism 7 is provided inside the mounting tube 5, and the driving mechanism 7 includes a mini motor 71. The mini motor 71 is fixedly connected to the outside of the mounting tube 5, and the mini motor 71 is electrically connected to the controller 41. The output end of the mini motor 71 extends to the inside of the mounting tube 5 and is fixedly connected to a gear 72. By providing the mini motor 71, manual labor is replaced to ensure accuracy during the test, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0031] Reference Figure 1-3 A tooth groove 73 is provided inside the slump cone 6, and the gear 72 is meshed with the tooth groove 73; the engagement of the gear 72 with the tooth groove 73 causes the slump cone 6 to be lifted up to a height of about 300 mm, and the timing module 43 starts timing when the slump cone 6 is lifted away from the base plate 1, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0032] Reference Figure 1-3 Two mounting plates 8 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing plate 3, and a fixing mechanism 9 is provided inside the two mounting plates 8. The fixing mechanism 9 includes a threaded rod 91, and the two threaded rods 91 are threadedly connected to the inside of the mounting plate 8. One end of the two threaded rods 91 is fixedly connected to a handle 94; by utilizing the fixing mechanism 9, the fixing plate 3 can be firmly installed on the enclosure 2, thereby improving the stability of the slump cylinder 6 during testing, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0034] Working principle: When the device is used, the fixing plate 3 is placed on the enclosure 2 so that the slump cone 6 is located at the center of the bottom plate 1. Then, the mini motor 71 is started by the controller 41. The mini motor 71 drives the gear 72 to rotate. When the gear 72 rotates and engages with the tooth groove 73, the slump cone 6 is forced to move downward in the installation cylinder 5, and the self-compacting concrete 10 mixture is poured in. Then, the mini motor 71 is started by the controller 41 to drive the gear 72 to rotate and engage with the tooth groove 73 to lift the slump cone 6 up to a height of about 300 mm. When the slump cone 6 is lifted and leaves the bottom plate 1, the slump cone 6 is lifted and moves away from the bottom plate 1. The timing module 43 starts timing, and the timing time can be observed through the display screen 42. The timing stops when the expanded concrete outer edge touches the 500mm diameter circle on the base plate 1. The controller 41 can adopt PLC, and the PLC can accurately control to ensure the accuracy of the test time, accurate to 0.1s. Therefore, the problem of the test method using a stopwatch and manual timing, that is, it is difficult to synchronize the lifting of the slump cone and the start of timing, and the touching of the expanded concrete outer edge on the base plate with the 500mm diameter circle and the stop of timing, is solved. It is not easy to produce timing errors, and the accuracy and objectivity of the test results are guaranteed.
