Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of concrete curing equipment, and more particularly to a concrete test block curing device. Background Technology

[0002] During the concrete production process, samples of each batch of concrete need to be taken to make concrete test blocks for subsequent testing and acceptance of the concrete's quality and strength. These concrete test blocks require 28 days of curing after production to ensure their strength improves under suitable temperature and humidity conditions.

[0003] Currently, a curing chamber is generally used to cure concrete test blocks under constant temperature and humidity. Maintaining constant humidity is achieved by pumping water from a tank to atomizing nozzles, which then spray the water in a mist. However, the test blocks require a long curing period of 28 days. Since the spraying points within the curing chamber are fixed, this fixed-point spraying can lead to excessively high humidity in some areas and insufficient humidity in others. This results in humidity inconsistencies across different locations within the curing chamber, causing deviations in the curing process and affecting subsequent testing. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the issue of varying humidity levels affecting testing of concrete test blocks at different locations within the curing chamber, this application provides a concrete test block curing device.

[0005] The concrete test block curing device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A concrete test block curing device includes a curing box body, a support, an atomizing nozzle, a water supply mechanism, and a moving mechanism. The support is slidably mounted on the inner top wall of the curing box body in a horizontal direction. The atomizing nozzle is mounted on the support. The water supply mechanism is mounted on the curing box body and is used to supply water to the atomizing nozzle. The moving mechanism is mounted on the curing box body and is used to drive the support to reciprocate.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the staff drives the support to slide horizontally within the curing chamber through the moving mechanism. The support drives the atomizing nozzle to slide horizontally within the curing chamber. At the same time, the water supply mechanism supplies water to the atomizing nozzle, which then sprays water in a mist, evenly spraying water mist onto the concrete test blocks inside the curing chamber. This improves the problem of humidity deviations in different locations of the concrete test blocks within the curing chamber, which affects the testing.

[0008] Optionally, the moving mechanism includes a drive motor and a drive screw. The drive motor is mounted on the maintenance box body, and the drive screw is coaxially mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor and threadedly connected to the bracket.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the staff starts the drive motor, and the output shaft of the drive motor drives the drive screw to rotate in the forward or reverse direction, which in turn drives the drive screw to rotate in the forward or reverse direction, thereby facilitating the reciprocating movement of the support bracket within the maintenance box.

[0010] Optionally, the curing box body is provided with multiple placement racks for placing test blocks at intervals along the vertical direction, and multiple atomizing nozzles are provided at intervals along the vertical direction on the support.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the support moves back and forth, driving multiple atomizing nozzles arranged at intervals along the vertical direction to move back and forth. The multiple atomizing nozzles can evenly spray water mist onto the concrete test blocks on the placement frame at different heights, improving the uniformity of humidity at different locations inside the curing box.

[0012] Optionally, the water supply mechanism includes a water tank, a water pump, and a recycling component. The water tank is installed on the curing tank body, the water pump is connected to the water tank and communicates with the atomizing nozzle, and the recycling component is installed inside the curing tank body and is used to collect water from the curing tank body into the water tank.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the staff can start the water pump, which draws the water in the water tank to the atomizing nozzle and sprays it out, making it convenient to supply water to the atomizing nozzle. At the same time, the recycling component can collect the water in the maintenance box and put it back into the water tank for reuse, thus saving water.

[0014] Optionally, the recycling component includes a recycling tray, a sedimentation tank, and an inflow channel. The recycling tray is disposed on the inner wall at the bottom of the maintenance tank body. The sedimentation tank is connected to the recycling tray. The inflow channel is connected to the top side wall of the sedimentation tank and communicates with the top side wall of the water tank. The height of the connection between the inflow channel and the sedimentation tank is higher than the height of the connection between the inflow channel and the water tank.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, water mist condenses into water droplets on the inner wall of the curing box and the placement rack, and then drips into the collection tray. The water then flows into the sedimentation tank for static sedimentation. The settled water flows into the water tank under gravity through the inflow channel. Through sedimentation in the sedimentation tank, the amount of impurities in the collected water entering the water tank is reduced.

[0016] Optionally, a guide channel is provided on the inner top wall of the curing box body, the guide channel being used to guide water on the inner top wall of the curing box body to the inner side wall of the curing box body.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the diversion channel guides the water droplets condensed on the inner top wall of the curing box, reducing the possibility that the water droplets condensed on the inner top of the curing box will drip directly onto the concrete test block, thereby further improving the uniformity of humidity of the concrete test block inside the curing box.

[0018] Optionally, a filter assembly for filtering water entering the inflow channel is provided at the connection between the inflow channel and the sedimentation tank. The filter assembly includes a filter cloth and a positioning element. The filter cloth is covered at the connection between the inflow channel and the sedimentation tank, and the positioning element is disposed on the sedimentation tank and used to position the filter cloth.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the staff can position the filter cloth at the connection between the inflow channel and the sedimentation tank using the positioning device. When water enters the inflow channel from the sedimentation tank, the filter cloth can filter the impurities in the water, further reducing the amount of impurities in the water entering the water tank from the sedimentation tank.

[0020] Optionally, the positioning element includes a positioning ring and a positioning bolt. The positioning ring is circumferentially abutted against the filter cloth, and the positioning bolt passes through the positioning ring and is threaded onto the sedimentation tank.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, after the staff covers the filter cloth at the connection between the sedimentation tank and the inflow channel, they circumferentially abut the positioning ring against the filter cloth, and then screw the positioning bolt through the positioning ring into the sedimentation tank, so that the positioning ring presses the filter cloth tightly, thereby positioning the filter cloth at the connection between the sedimentation tank and the inflow channel, improving the convenience of the staff in installing and removing the filter cloth.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. The bracket drives the atomizing nozzle to slide horizontally within the curing chamber. At the same time, the water supply mechanism supplies water to the atomizing nozzle, which then sprays water in a mist, evenly spraying water mist onto the concrete test blocks inside the curing chamber. This improves the problem of humidity deviations in different locations of the concrete test blocks within the curing chamber, which affects the testing.

[0024] 2. The recycling component can collect water from the maintenance box and transfer it to a water tank for reuse, thus saving water.

[0025] 3. The diversion channel guides the water droplets that condense on the inner top wall of the curing box, reducing the possibility that the water droplets condensed on the inner top of the curing box will drip directly onto the concrete test block, thereby further improving the uniformity of the humidity of the concrete test block inside the curing box.

[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0031] This application discloses a concrete test block curing device.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 The concrete test block curing device includes a curing box body 1, a support 2, an atomizing nozzle 3, a water supply mechanism 4, and a moving mechanism 5. The curing box body 1 is hollow inside. Multiple placement racks 6 are installed at intervals along the vertical direction on the inner wall of the curing box body 1. The placement rack 6 is a frame with a hollow center, which is composed of multiple stainless steel rods arranged horizontally and vertically. The placement rack 6 is used to place concrete test blocks.

[0033] Workers arrange the concrete test blocks on the placement rack 6, which allows the concrete test blocks to be neatly placed inside the curing chamber 1. The placement rack 6, with its central hollow design, improves the consistency of the humidity and temperature environment at the bottom of the test block with that inside the curing chamber 1, ensuring consistent curing effects on all sides of the concrete test block.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2The bracket 2 is horizontally slidably installed on the inner wall of the curing chamber body 1. Multiple atomizing nozzles 3 are vertically spaced on the bracket 2, with the uppermost nozzle 3 located between the top of the curing chamber body 1 and the uppermost placement rack 6. The remaining nozzles 3 are located between adjacent placement racks 6. As the bracket 2 slides horizontally back and forth within the curing chamber body 1, it drives the multiple atomizing nozzles 3 to move back and forth, spraying water mist onto the concrete test blocks at different heights on the placement racks 6. This improves the uniformity of water mist distribution to the concrete test blocks at different heights, thereby enhancing the uniformity of humidity at different locations within the curing chamber body 1.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 The moving mechanism 5 is installed on the curing box body 1. The moving mechanism 5 is used to drive the bracket 2 to slide back and forth in the horizontal direction inside the curing box body 1. The moving mechanism 5 includes a drive motor 51 and a drive screw 52. The drive motor 51 is installed on the inner wall of the curing box body 1. The drive screw 52 is installed on the inner wall of the curing box body 1 in the horizontal direction. The drive screw 52 is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 51, and the drive screw 52 is threaded through the bracket 2.

[0036] The staff starts the drive motor 51, and by controlling the forward or reverse rotation of the output shaft of the drive motor 51, the drive screw 52 can be driven to rotate in the forward or reverse direction, thereby facilitating the reciprocating movement of the guide bracket 2 along the horizontal direction inside the curing box body 1.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 The water supply mechanism 4 is installed on the main body 1 of the curing box. The water supply mechanism 4 supplies water to the atomizing nozzles 3. The water supply mechanism 4 includes a water tank 41, a water pump 42, and a recovery assembly 43. The water tank 41 is installed on the inner wall of the curing box 1. The inlet end of the water pump 42 is connected to the water tank 41, and the outlet end of the water pump 42 is connected to multiple atomizing nozzles 3 via corrugated hoses. When the operator starts the water pump 42, the water pump 42 draws water from the water tank 41 into the atomizing nozzles 3, which then spray the water out in a mist, providing convenient water supply to the atomizing nozzles 3.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3The recycling component 43 is installed inside the maintenance tank body 1. The recycling component 43 is used to collect water in the maintenance tank body 1 and guide it to the water tank 41. The recycling component 43 includes a recycling tray 431, a sedimentation tank 432 and an inflow channel 433. The recycling tray 431 is installed on the side wall near the bottom of the maintenance tank body 1 and is circumferentially pressed against the inner wall of the maintenance tank body 1. The sedimentation tank 432 is installed on the inner bottom wall of the maintenance tank body 1 and is connected to the lowest point of the recycling tray 431. One end of the inflow channel 433 is connected to the side wall near the top of the sedimentation tank 432 and the other end of the inflow channel 433 is connected to the side wall near the top of the water tank 41. The height of the inflow channel 433 at the connection point with the sedimentation tank 432 is higher than the height of the inflow channel 433 at the connection point with the water tank 41.

[0039] The water mist sprayed from the atomizing nozzle 3 condenses into water droplets on the inner wall of the curing chamber body 1 and the placement rack 6. The water droplets on the inner wall of the curing chamber body 1 flow into the recovery tray 431, and the water droplets on the placement rack 6 drip into the recovery tray 431. The water then flows from the recovery tray 431 into the sedimentation tank 432. After the water settles in the sedimentation tank 432, it flows into the channel 433 to pour the cleaner water at the top into the water tank 41. The water pump 42 then draws it again, thus reusing the water source and saving water for curing concrete test blocks. In addition, the impurities in the water settle in the sedimentation tank 432, reducing the impurity content in the water and thus reducing the probability of the atomizing nozzle 3 being blocked, ensuring the stability of the operation of the atomizing nozzle 3.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 A flow guide trough 7 is installed on the inner top wall of the curing box body 1. The height of the flow guide trough 7 gradually decreases from the center of the top wall of the curing box body 1 to the side wall of the curing box body 1. This allows water droplets condensed on the inner wall of the curing box body 1 to flow along the flow guide trough 7 from the center of the top wall of the curing box body 1 to the side wall of the curing box body 1, and then from the side wall of the curing box body 1 to the collection tray 431. This reduces the possibility of water droplets condensed on the inner top of the curing box body 1 dripping directly onto the concrete test block, reduces the possibility of excessive local humidity in the concrete test block, and thus improves the uniformity of humidity of the concrete test block inside the curing box body 1.

[0041] Reference Figure 3A filter assembly 8 is installed at the connection between the inflow channel 433 and the sedimentation tank 432. The filter assembly 8 is used to filter the water entering the inflow channel 433. The filter assembly 8 includes a filter cloth 81 and a positioning member 82. The filter cloth 81 is covered at the connection between the inflow channel 433 and the sedimentation tank 432. In this embodiment, the filter plate is a polyester filter cloth. The positioning member 82 is installed on the sedimentation tank 432. The positioning member 82 is used to position the filter cloth 81. The positioning member 82 includes a positioning ring 821 and a positioning bolt 822. The positioning ring 821 abuts against the filter cloth 81 circumferentially. Multiple positioning bolts 822 are circumferentially spaced through the positioning ring 821. The positioning bolts 822 are threaded onto the sedimentation tank 432.

[0042] The operator places the filter cloth 81 over the connection between the inflow channel 433 and the sedimentation tank 432, then moves the positioning ring 821 to circumferentially abut against the filter plate. Multiple positioning bolts 822 are then passed through the positioning ring 821 and screwed into the sedimentation tank 432. The positioning ring 821 then presses the filter cloth 81 firmly against the sedimentation tank 432, thus positioning the filter cloth 81 at the connection between the inflow channel 433 and the sedimentation tank 432. When water enters the inflow channel 433 from the sedimentation tank 432, the filter cloth 81 filters impurities in the water, further reducing the amount of impurities entering the water tank 41 from the sedimentation tank 432. The operator then unscrews the positioning bolts 822 to remove the positioning ring 821, allowing for easy and quick removal of the filter cloth 81 for replacement or cleaning, ensuring effective filtration of the water entering the inflow channel 433.

[0043] The implementation principle of the concrete test block curing device in this application embodiment is as follows: The operator starts the drive motor 51, which drives the bracket 2 to move multiple atomizing nozzles 3 in the horizontal direction through the drive screw 52. At the same time, the water pump 42 draws water from the water tank 41 into the multiple atomizing nozzles 3. The multiple atomizing nozzles 3 can then spray water mist evenly onto the concrete test blocks on different placement racks 6. At the same time, it can also guide and collect the water droplets condensed in the curing box body 1 for reuse, reducing the possibility of water droplets condensed in the curing box body 1 dripping directly onto the concrete test blocks, improving the consistency of humidity conditions of concrete test blocks in different positions, and improving the problem of humidity deviations in different positions of concrete test blocks in the curing box affecting the test.

[0044] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
