[0031] As described in the background, the existing rheometer is only suitable for testing mortar or concrete with very good workability. This is because the large flow state concrete may present a slight bleeding segregation state at the fresh stage, factory stage or even pouring stage. In the traditional rheological property test process, the slightly bleeding concrete will cause aggregate settlement and paste floating due to gravity, and the rotation of the blade during the test further aggravates the sinking of the concrete. The lower aggregate accumulates and overlaps each other, and the original concrete aggregate suspension system becomes a close-packed aggregate system. In this case, the blade of the test rotor is often stuck, or the consumed torque is very large, resulting in that the test result completely deviates from the actual rheological property of the concrete, cannot correctly characterize, and even cannot complete the measurement because the blade is stuck.
