Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of bridge engineering technology, and in particular to an automatic spraying system for curing multiple precast T-beams. Background Technology

[0002] Precast T-beams, as widely used prefabricated concrete components in bridge engineering, are in increasing demand. Moisture retention and curing replenish the internal moisture of the concrete, preventing shrinkage cracks and promoting the development of early-age strength.

[0003] Precast T-beams are often cured by water spraying. Traditional spraying curing mainly uses manual watering, which has drawbacks such as untimely watering, uneven water coverage, and high labor costs. This results in low curing efficiency of T-beams, inability to guarantee concrete quality, and increased beam production cycle.

[0004] Currently, precast T-beams are often produced in batches of multiple pieces. Relying on traditional spray curing methods requires a lot of manpower and cannot ensure the quality of concrete. Therefore, an automatic spraying system for curing multiple precast T-beams is of practical value. Utility Model Content

[0042] Example

[0043] This embodiment provides an automatic spraying system for the curing of multiple precast T-beams, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes a water supply system and a water circulation system. The water supply system is used to spray water for curing precast T-beams, and the water circulation system is used to purify and recycle the curing water, thereby reducing water waste.

[0044] The water supply system includes a water storage system and a water supply pipeline. The water storage system is located on one side of the beam yard and is used to store curing water. Its output end is connected to the water supply pipeline. Part of the water supply pipeline is located inside the precast T-beam platform 9 and extends longitudinally therein. Its output end is equipped with a spray unit facing the precast T-beam, which sprays the curing water in the water storage system onto the surface of the precast T-beam.

[0045] The water storage system includes a water storage tank 1. The input end of the water storage tank 1 is equipped with a first solenoid valve 2 for controlling water inflow. Its output end is sequentially equipped with a pressure water pump 3, a water pump time relay 4, a water storage tank 5, a spray time relay, and a second solenoid valve 6. The pressure water pump 3 is externally powered. The water pump time relay 4 controls the pressure water pump 3 to pressurize the health-promoting water in the water storage tank 1 and inject it into the water storage tank 5. The water storage tank 5 is equipped with a pressure gauge for monitoring the internal pressure. The spray time relay and the second solenoid valve 6 are used to control the spray on / off switch and the spray time.

[0046] The water supply pipeline includes a main water pipeline 7, the input end of which is connected to the output end of the water storage system, and the output end of which is connected to multiple branch water pipelines 8. One end of each branch water pipeline 8 is connected to the main water pipeline 7 through a water flow switch valve 15, and the other end extends into the platform 9, which diverts the curing water in the main water pipeline 7 to the platform 9 below the precast T-beam to be cured.

[0047] The pedestal 9 is equipped with a water supply pipe that communicates with the branch water pipe 8. Multiple pairs of water supply pipes are arranged at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the pedestal 9. They can extend and retract along the transverse direction of the pedestal 9. The water supply pipes guide the curing water in the branch water pipe 8 to both sides of the precast T-beam to be cured.

[0048] The spray unit is connected to the output end of the water supply pipeline and includes a rotating nozzle 10 and a shower head 11. The spraying end of the rotating nozzle 10 faces the web and flange plates of the precast T-beam, spraying curing water onto the flange plates and web plates of the precast T-beam. The shower head 11 extends above the precast T-beam, with its spraying end facing the top plate of the precast T-beam, spraying curing water onto the top plate of the precast T-beam. The spray unit uses intermittent spraying, and multiple precast T-beams can be sprayed simultaneously at one time to ensure that the precast T-beams are kept moist. If only a portion of the precast T-beams are to be cured, the water flow switch valve 15 of the branch water pipe 8 for the corresponding precast T-beam can be closed. When the spraying ends, the spray unit can be extended or retracted into the opening of the platform 9 to avoid affecting the beam yard construction.

[0049] The water circulation system is embedded in the ground of the beam yard and arranged around the precast beams to collect curing water on the ground, realizing the recycling of curing water and reducing water waste. The output end of the water circulation system is connected to the input end of the water supply system. It includes longitudinal water ditches 12 and transverse water ditches 13. The longitudinal water ditches 12 are located on both sides of the precast T-beam platform 9 and extend along its axial direction to collect curing water on the ground. Adjacent longitudinal water ditches 12 are interconnected through transverse water ditches 13, and the water in the longitudinal water ditches 12 is collected into the transverse water ditches 13 and then sent to the water storage tank 1.

[0050] In this embodiment, the transverse water ditch 13 is connected to the input end of the water storage tank 1 through the purification water tank 14, which is used to remove impurities from the collected water.

[0051] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0052] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
