Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a concrete factory testing device, belonging to the field of concrete production technology. Background Technology
[0002] The traditional concrete production process typically involves the following steps: concrete trucks stop at the production site, water tanks are filled in preparation for loading; concrete is produced and loaded onto the trucks; after loading, the concrete trucks transport the concrete to the construction site for unloading. The following problems exist in this process:
[0003] Insufficient random inspection of factory condition: Relying solely on manual random inspection cannot guarantee that the slump, fluidity, and other indicators of each truckload of concrete meet the requirements;
[0004] Low efficiency of sample retention: Manually collecting concrete samples is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and can easily lead to uneven or missed samples.
[0005] Incomplete vehicle cleaning: The short cleaning time for transport vehicles and the limited coverage of the spray nozzles affect the efficiency of subsequent loading and environmental protection requirements.
[0006] Water tank replenishment conflict: Vehicles replenishing water in the production area occupy loading stations, reducing overall production efficiency.
[0007] While there are some improved devices in the existing technology, their functions are scattered, their costs are high, and they lack linkage control for real-time adjustment of concrete condition and retention of test blocks. Utility Model Content
[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a concrete factory inspection device that achieves comprehensive inspection and adjustment of the concrete's factory condition through integrated design, while simultaneously completing test block placement, vehicle cleaning, and water tank replenishment, simplifying procedures and improving quality management efficiency.
[0009] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs the following technical solution:
[0010] A concrete factory testing device includes a control system, an automatic concrete cleaning section, a concrete condition detection and adjustment section, and a concrete test block retention section.
[0011] The automatic concrete cleaning system includes a high-definition camera, a barrier gate, and a car wash platform. The high-definition camera is installed on the top of the barrier gate and communicates with the control system. The barrier gate is installed on one side of the car wash platform. The inner side of the car wash platform is equipped with a spray nozzle and a water supply pipe. The inside of the car wash platform is a hollow cavity. The control system is communicatively connected to the barrier gate, the spray nozzle, and the water pipe.
[0012] The concrete condition detection and adjustment section includes a retractable high-definition camera, a retractable water pipe, a retractable admixture pipe, an admixture storage tank, a water tank, and pipelines. The retractable high-definition camera, the retractable water pipe, and the retractable admixture pipe are installed on the top of the car wash platform. The pipelines connect the car wash platform to the admixture storage tank and the water tank. The retractable high-definition camera, the retractable water pipe, and the retractable admixture pipe are communicatively connected to the control system.
[0013] The concrete test block retention section includes a retractable hopper and a concrete storage container. The retractable hopper is adapted to the vehicle position to pick up concrete and put it into the concrete storage container. The retractable hopper and the concrete storage container are communicatively connected to the control system.
[0014] Preferably, the retractable high-definition camera is a retractable robotic arm structure.
[0015] Preferably, the retractable high-definition camera is fixed to the top of the inner side of the car wash platform by a fixing plate. The retractable high-definition camera includes a first fixing base, a first telescopic motor, a steering shaft, a mounting plate, a second fixing base, a second telescopic motor, and a camera. The bottom of the first telescopic motor is fixed to the fixing plate by the first fixing base, the top of the first telescopic motor is connected to the steering shaft, and the other end of the steering shaft is connected to the mounting plate. The bottom of the second telescopic motor is fixed to the mounting plate by the second fixing base, and the top of the second telescopic motor is connected to the camera.
[0016] Preferably, the middle part of the first telescopic motor is also fixed to the fixing plate by a first fixing ring, and the second telescopic motor is also fixed to the mounting plate by a second fixing ring.
[0017] Preferably, the bottom of the admixture storage tank is equipped with an admixture flow pump and an admixture lower limit device, and the top is equipped with an admixture upper limit device.
[0018] Preferably, the bottom of the pool is equipped with a water flow pump and a lower limit switch, and the top is equipped with an upper limit switch.
[0019] Preferably, the concrete storage device includes a material limiter, a vibrator, a discharge valve, and a test mold. The concrete is injected into the test mold sequentially through the vibrator and the discharge valve to complete the storage.
[0020] The advantages of this utility model are as follows: This device integrates an automatic concrete cleaning section, a concrete condition detection and adjustment section, and a concrete test block retention section, enabling the simultaneous completion of concrete condition detection, concrete condition adjustment, concrete test block retention, automatic cleaning of concrete transport vehicles, and water tank replenishment for concrete transport vehicles. This simplifies the concrete delivery process and improves production efficiency. Furthermore, the inclusion of a retractable high-definition camera, retractable water pipe, and retractable admixture pipe allows quality inspectors to easily determine and adjust the condition of each truckload of concrete, reducing labor intensity while strengthening concrete quality management and improving the stability of concrete delivery. The design of the test block retention section allows quality inspectors to easily retain test blocks for each batch of concrete. Simultaneously, the flow state of the concrete can be observed, further enhancing the integrity and accuracy of the concrete control process. This improves quality management without increasing labor intensity. Because the automatic cleaning unit for concrete transport vehicles is effectively centralized with other units, the cleaning time for concrete transport vehicles is extended, improving vehicle cleanliness and contributing to environmental protection and a better company image. Furthermore, the water supply system allows drivers sufficient time to refill the vehicles, preventing slowed loading efficiency caused by prolonged vehicle refilling in the production area, thus further improving production efficiency.
