[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0019] Example:
[0020] Reference Figure 1 This embodiment provides a drip irrigation curing system for bearing grout.
[0021] It includes a bridge pier 1; a precast box girder 2 is arranged above the bridge pier 1 by a bridge erecting machine; a support casting template 3 is detachably installed at the top of the bridge pier 1 opposite to the precast box girder 2; support grouting material 4 is poured into the support casting template 3; a water-permeable permeable layer 5 is covered on the surface of the support grouting material 4; in this embodiment, cotton cloth is used as the material for the permeable layer; a protective film 6 is covered on the support casting template 3; several drip irrigation pipes 7 are set on the protective film 6; the drip irrigation pipes 7 are connected to the interior of the protective film 6; the other end of the drip irrigation pipes 7 is connected to a water bucket 8 containing water, and water can enter the interior of the protective film 6 through the drip irrigation pipes 7.
[0022] The water bucket 8 is placed on the precast box girder 2; and the minimum height of the water bucket 8 is greater than the height at the junction of the protective membrane 6 and the drip irrigation pipe 7. In this embodiment, the water bucket 8 is placed in the bridge opening of the precast box girder 2;
[0023] The water tank 8 includes a main water tank 8A and several secondary pressure-stabilizing water tanks 8B; the main water tank 8A and the secondary pressure-stabilizing water tanks 8B are connected by water pipes; the drip irrigation pipe 7 is connected to the secondary pressure-stabilizing water tanks 8B.
[0024] There are two piers 1, and the two ends of the precast box girder 2 are respectively set on the two piers 1; on both piers 1, there are support casting templates 3 and support grouting material 4; there are two sets of secondary pressure stabilizing water tanks 8B, which are respectively set at the port positions on both sides of the precast box girder 2, so as to simultaneously provide drip irrigation water to the support grouting material 4 on the two piers.
[0025] The protective membrane 6 is a ring structure that surrounds the outer periphery of the casting template 3 of the support, and its top is connected to the bottom of the precast box girder 2 directly opposite it.
[0026] There are no fewer than two drip irrigation pipes 7 installed on a single protective membrane 6, and the outlets of these drip irrigation pipes 7 are symmetrically distributed on the permeable layer in the protective membrane, and the outlets of the drip irrigation pipes are placed on cotton cloth.
[0027] A speed control valve 9 is also installed on the drip irrigation pipe 7. The speed control valve 9 is used to control the flow rate of water droplets dripping into the protective membrane 6.
[0028] When using the utility model device in this embodiment, the following process can be followed:
[0029] 1. After installing the support casting template on the top of the bridge pier, pour the support grout into the template. After the pouring is completed and the initial setting strength of the concrete is met, gently place cotton cloth as a water-permeable layer on the surface of the support grout.
[0030] 2. Set up a protective membrane around the formwork for the support casting and install the drip irrigation pipe at the designated position on the protective membrane; after the surface layer of the support grout is submerged, adjust the water flow rate through the speed control valve; thus, the curing stage begins.
[0031] 3. During the curing stage, simply keep adding water to the bucket. 24 hours after curing begins, check whether the grouting material meets the standard strength requirements and check whether there are cracks, depressions, protrusions, or defects on the surface of the grouting material. Once it meets the qualified standards, demolding can be carried out. When demolding, prevent collisions between the demolding material and the finished grouting material. Then, remove other structures.
[0032] The following is a detailed breakdown of the costs incurred by drip irrigation maintenance compared to manual maintenance in this embodiment.
[0033]
[0034] Clearly, drip irrigation curing can effectively reduce production costs, and through scientific and reasonable mix design and strict control of construction technology, it can significantly improve the strength, durability, adhesion, and impermeability of the finished mortar. Although there are certain costs and construction difficulties, the improvement in finished product quality will bring significant safety and economic benefits. Monitoring and testing the quality of the finished mortar is also crucial to ensure that it meets the standard requirements. In practice, it is necessary to weigh various factors and comprehensively consider economy, feasibility, and long-term benefits to find the best solution for improving the quality of bridge bearing mortar.
