Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of box culvert mold technology, and in particular to a manufacturing mold for an RPC reinforced box culvert. Background Technology

[0002] In the construction of highways, reinforced concrete box culverts are a crucial component. As a core part of the infrastructure, they not only bear the heavy responsibility of supporting the road and distributing loads, but also ensure the safety and stability of the highway under adverse weather conditions and long-term use through their superior strength and durability. The meticulous design and construction of reinforced concrete box culverts directly affect the overall quality and service life of the highway, and have immeasurable value in improving traffic efficiency and promoting regional economic development.

[0003] However, the box culvert manufacturing molds widely used in the current market are generally bulky, occupying a large amount of production space and increasing the difficulty of transportation and storage. During mold assembly, due to the numerous components and complex structure, multiple technicians often need to work together, requiring high precision, resulting in long processing times and a high risk of assembly errors, thus affecting production efficiency and product quality stability. Furthermore, the demolding process after the box culvert product has cured is equally cumbersome and challenging. Because there may be strong adhesion or jamming between the mold and the box culvert, demolding often requires specialized release agents or mechanical aids. Improper operation can also damage or deform the box culvert surface, affecting the product's appearance and performance. For example, Chinese Patent No. 215618854 and Chinese Patent No. 217144686 suffer from the aforementioned problems.

[0004] Based on this, a new type of box culvert manufacturing mold is needed. This mold significantly enhances the flexibility and reusability of the mold, greatly facilitates the rapid assembly, easy disassembly and efficient cleaning process, thereby effectively reducing production costs and simplifying the complexity of maintenance work.
