Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of bridge pier construction, and in particular to a drip irrigation maintenance device for bridge piers. Background Technology

[0002] Drip irrigation curing of bridge piers involves installing a water tank at the top of the pier and using PVC pipes or hoses to deliver water to the pier body, which then slowly seeps out through small holes, thus keeping the concrete moist. This curing method is particularly suitable for tall bridge pier structures and features water conservation, uniform curing, and strong applicability. By precisely controlling the water volume and curing time, the durability and integrity of the bridge pier concrete are ensured.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] This application discloses a drip irrigation curing device for bridge piers. Water is sprayed from the outlet holes 54 on both sides of the drip irrigation pipe 53 to the bridge pier 20, so that the various heights of the bridge pier 20 can be more evenly moistened with water, thereby improving the curing effect of concrete.

[0019] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0020] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment provides a bridge pier drip irrigation maintenance device, including a water tank 40 on the top of the bridge pier 20 of the base 10, a geotextile 30 on the outside of the bridge pier 20, and a drip irrigation device 50 on the outside of the bridge pier 20, located between the bridge pier 20 and the geotextile 30. The drip irrigation device 50 includes a water outlet pipe 51, a valve 52, a drip irrigation pipe 53, and a water outlet hole 54. The water outlet pipe 51 is located on one side of the water tank 40, the valve 52 is located on the water outlet pipe 51, and the drip irrigation pipe 53 is located at one end of the water outlet pipe 51. The drip irrigation pipe 53 is a flexible hose and is spirally arranged. Placed between the bridge pier 20 and the geotextile 30, multiple pairs of water outlets 54 are symmetrically opened at the top and bottom of the drip irrigation pipe 53, and the multiple pairs of water outlets 54 are arranged at equal intervals. A limiting component 60 is provided on the outside of the geotextile 30 to limit the geotextile 30 and the drip irrigation pipe 53. Water in the water tank 40 is input into the drip irrigation pipe 53 through the water outlet pipe 51 through the valve 52. Through the spirally arranged drip irrigation pipe 53 and the water outlets 54 on both sides, the water input from the water tank 40 is sprayed out from the water outlets 54 on both sides onto the surface of the bridge pier 20, so as to evenly wet different positions on the surface of the bridge pier 20 and improve the maintenance effect.

[0021] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The top of the bridge pier 20 has multiple steel bars 80 arranged in a ring at equal intervals. The top of the drip irrigation pipe 53 is tied to one of the steel bars 80. The limiting component 60 includes a fixing rod 61 and a fixing rope 62. The multiple fixing rods 61 are arranged in a ring at equal intervals on the base 10. The fixing rope 62 is set on the fixing rod 61, and the top of the fixing rope 62 is tied to the steel bar 80. The multiple fixing ropes 62 are vertically set on the outside of the geotextile 30, and are arranged in a ring at equal intervals on the outside of the geotextile 30. A water storage tank 11 is opened on the outside of the base 10. The water storage tank 11 is set on the outside of the bottom of the bridge pier 20. The multiple fixing rods 61 are set on the water storage tank. On the inner wall of the trough 11, a fixing rope 62 is vertically fastened to the fixing rod 61 and the top steel bar 80 of the bridge pier 20. The fixing rope 62 presses the geotextile 30 and the drip irrigation pipe 53 tightly, so that the geotextile 30 can be tightly attached to the bridge pier 20 and the drip irrigation pipe 53, thereby preventing the spirally arranged drip irrigation pipe 53 from slipping. It also allows the geotextile 30 to cover the outside of the bridge pier 20 and the drip irrigation pipe 53, preventing the water output from the drip irrigation pipe 53 from spraying out from the outside, thus improving the maintenance effect. The water dripping between the bridge pier 20 and the geotextile 30 is collected by the water storage tank 11 opened on the base 10, preventing the waste of water resources.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A circulation assembly 70 is provided on one side of the water tank 40. The circulation assembly 70 includes a water pump pipe 71, a water pump 72, and a thermometer 73. The water pump pipe 71 is fixedly installed on one side of the water tank 40, and its bottom end extends into the interior of the water storage tank 11, reaching the middle of the water storage tank 11. A filter screen is provided at the inlet of the water pump pipe 71. The water pump 72 is installed on the outer side of the top of the water pump pipe 71. The thermometer 73 is installed on the water tank 40. A heater is provided inside the water tank 40. Impurities settle in the water storage tank 11. Once the water reaches the bottom, the water pump 72 pumps water into the water tank 40 through the water pipe 71, which extends into the middle of the water storage tank 11. The filter screen prevents impurities in the water storage tank 11 from clogging the water pipe 71. The water sprayed from the drip irrigation is recycled to prevent water waste. The heater inside the water tank 40, together with the thermometer 73, measures the water temperature inside the water tank 40 and the external ambient temperature. The heater heats the water in the water tank 40 to a suitable temperature according to the ambient temperature to prevent the water temperature from being too different from the concrete surface temperature after hydration, which would affect the curing effect.

[0023] The functional principle of this application can be explained through the following methods:

[0024] In use, the water tank 40 is installed on top of the bridge pier 20. One end of the drip irrigation pipe 53 is installed on the outlet pipe 51 on the water tank 40. The top of the drip irrigation pipe 53 is tied to a steel bar 80 at the top of the bridge pier 20 with a rope. The drip irrigation pipe 53 is spirally wound around the bridge pier 20, with the outlet holes 54 on both sides of the drip irrigation pipe 53 facing the top and bottom. The bottom of the drip irrigation pipe 53 is tied to a fixing rod 61 on the inner wall of the water storage tank 11 to fix the top and bottom of the drip irrigation pipe 53. The geotextile 30 is covered on the outside of the bridge pier 20 and the drip irrigation pipe 53. Multiple fixing ropes 62 are tied to the fixing rod 61 respectively. The top of the fixing ropes 62 is tied tightly to the steel bar 80 at the top of the bridge pier 20, so that the fixing ropes 62 can press the geotextile 30 and the drip irrigation pipe 53 tightly, preventing the spirally arranged drip irrigation pipe 53 from slipping off, and also making the geotextile 30 fit the bridge more closely. The geotextile 30 is limited in the pier body 20. The water pumping pipe 71 on one side of the water tank 40 extends into the middle of the water storage tank 11. The thermometer 73 on the water tank 40 is observed. The heater in the water tank 40 is started. After the water in the water tank 40 is heated to a suitable temperature according to the ambient temperature, the valve 52 is started, so that the water in the water tank 40 is input into the drip irrigation pipe 53 from the outlet pipe 51. Then, it is sprayed on various positions on the bridge pier body 20 through the water outlet holes 54 at different positions on both sides of the drip irrigation pipe 53, so that the drip irrigation is more uniform and the concrete curing effect is improved. The geotextile 30 on the outside of the drip irrigation pipe 53 prevents water from spraying out from the outside and keeps the water on the surface of the bridge pier body 20. The water flows from the bottom of the bridge pier body 20 into the water storage tank 11. After sedimentation, the water pump 72 pumps the water in the water storage tank 11 into the water tank 40 from the pumping pipe 71 to complete the water recycling and save water resources.
