Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of concrete curing, and in particular to a concrete curing testing device. Background Technology
[0002] Concrete curing involves artificially creating specific humidity and temperature conditions to accelerate the hardening and strength development of freshly poured concrete. The gradual hardening and strength gain of concrete is a result of cement hydration, which requires certain temperature and humidity conditions. If these conditions are not present in the surrounding environment, artificial curing is necessary. Concrete curing methods include natural curing and steam curing.
[0003] The start time for concrete curing should be determined based on local climate conditions and the type of cement used in the concrete project. Concrete test blocks refer to test blocks made by sampling at the concrete pouring site and cured according to the curing conditions of the on-site structure (i.e., curing the test blocks nearby). The strength values of test blocks under these conditions are more reflective of the concrete strength of the structure.
[0004] However, in the current technology, there is no good testing and control equipment for concrete test blocks. Test blocks are easily replaced by humans, and various information during the curing process often needs to be recorded manually by the staff. Various curing procedures also need to be operated manually by the staff, which is very easy to cause errors and omissions. As a result, the test blocks cannot accurately reflect the state of the poured concrete and cannot play their due role. Utility Model Content

[0007] The locking cover is disposed on the top of the placement cage. The first end of the locking cover is rotatably connected to the placement cage, and the second end of the locking cover is provided with a locking buckle that can be selectively connected to the placement cage. A monitor and a sensor are provided in the middle of the locking cover. The sensor is used to acquire the temperature and humidity status of the test block and send the temperature and humidity status of the test block to the monitor. The monitor is used to set the curing conditions and control the curing component to cure the test block.
[0008] The maintenance component includes a water storage bottle fixedly installed in the placement cage, and the water storage bottle is equipped with a spray head.

[0027] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a preferred embodiment of this utility model provides a concrete curing testing device, which includes a housing cage 1, a locking cover 2, and a curing component 3.
[0029] The interior of the placement cage 1 is provided with a storage area 11 for storing the test block 4;
[0030] The locking cover 2 is located on the top of the placement cage 1. The first end of the locking cover 2 is rotatably connected to the placement cage 1, and the second end of the locking cover 2 is provided with a locking buckle 21 that can be selectively connected to the placement cage. The middle part of the locking cover 2 is provided with a monitor 22 and a sensor 23. The sensor 23 is used to acquire the temperature and humidity status of the test block 4 and send the temperature and humidity status of the test block 4 to the monitor 22. The monitor 22 is used to set the curing conditions and control the curing component 3 to cure the test block 4.
[0031] The maintenance component 3 includes a water storage bottle 31 fixedly installed in the placement cage 1, and the water storage bottle 31 is equipped with a spray head 32.
[0032] Specifically, when using test block 4 to demonstrate the curing status of concrete at the construction site, it is often necessary to restrict the position of test block 4 to prevent it from being moved or replaced. If test block 4 is replaced, it will no longer accurately show the curing status of the concrete at different stages of construction, which will cause serious safety hazards. In this utility model, a locking cover 2 is provided on the top of the placement cage 1. After test block 4 is placed into the storage area 11 inside the placement cage 1, the locking buckle 21 at the second end of the locking cover 2 will engage and lock with the placement cage 1, thereby sealing the storage area 11. Test block 4 in the storage area 11 will not be easily taken out and replaced. Only when it is necessary to test the strength or other properties of test block 4 will the locking buckle 21 be opened to take out the test block 4 for testing. During this process, the key component of the locking buckle 21 is kept separately by the testing personnel to minimize the risk of test block 4 being replaced.
[0033] Furthermore, sensor 23 is located on the side of the locking cover 2 facing the test block 4. Sensor 23 can sense changes in the temperature of the test block 4 and changes in the humidity of the air above the test block 4, and send the temperature and humidity change information to monitor 22. Monitor 22 can then control the curing component 3 to cure the test block 4 according to preset curing conditions, including time intervals, the temperature of the test block 4, and the humidity of the test block 4. When it rains or other weather conditions occur, sensor 23 can monitor changes in the temperature and humidity around the test block 4, thus facilitating monitor 22 to adjust the curing plan for the test block 4. Similarly, when the monitor 22 controls the maintenance component 3 to maintain the test block 4, and the sensor 23 does not detect changes in temperature and humidity around the test block 4, the monitor 22 can also determine that the maintenance may fail. Then, it will remind the test personnel to check by means of an alarm device or by sending a wireless signal. When it is determined that the automatic maintenance has failed, the test personnel can manually maintain the test block 4 and record it on the monitor 22. At the same time, the maintenance component 3 can be repaired or replaced, or the maintenance water in the water bottle 31 can be replenished.
[0034] In some embodiments, at least two storage areas 11 are provided within the placement cage 1, and a partition 12 is provided between adjacent storage areas 11. Specifically, depending on the test requirements, at least two test blocks 4 need to be provided, preferably three test blocks 4, and three corresponding storage areas 11 are provided. The partition 12 is provided between adjacent storage areas 11 to separate different test blocks 4, so as to avoid confusion of test blocks 4, which could lead to curing errors and prevent the test blocks 4 from accurately reflecting the curing status of the concrete structure.
[0035] In some embodiments, the locking fastener 21 is equipped with a fingerprint recognition device 211. The fingerprint recognition device 211 is used to acquire fingerprint information and control the connection status between the second end of the locking cover 2 and the mounting cage. Specifically, the locking fastener 21 uses a fingerprint recognition device 211 instead of a traditional mechanical lock with a key, which can prevent the theft and misuse of the key, and also prevent the inability to open the locking cover 2 due to a lost key. This enhances the security of the test block 4, further reduces the possibility of the test block 4 being replaced, and ensures that the test block 4 can always accurately reflect the curing status of the construction concrete.
[0036] In some embodiments, the locking cover 2 is equipped with a camera device 212, which is electrically connected to the fingerprint recognition device 211. The camera device 212 is used to capture images of the environment surrounding the placement cage 1 when the fingerprint recognition device 211 is used. Specifically, the camera device 212 can capture and record images of the person using the fingerprint recognition device 211, further preventing the possibility of the test block 4 being replaced. It can also record the person in charge each time the locking cover 2 is opened, facilitating accountability in case of subsequent problems. In addition, the camera device 212 can also work with facial recognition technology to achieve double locking of the locking buckle 21, ensuring that the test block 4 can only be removed by specific testers and under specific times and conditions, making the test block 4 less likely to be replaced. In other embodiments, the camera device 212 can also capture and save images of the maintenance status and effect of the test block 4, facilitating subsequent research on changes in the maintenance effect of the test block 4.
[0037] In some embodiments, the locking cover 2 is equipped with a display 24, which is electrically connected to the monitor 22 and the sensor 23. The display 24 is used to display the temperature of the test block 4 sensed by the sensor 23 and the maintenance data of the monitor 22. Specifically, the display 24 can more conveniently and intuitively display the current temperature of the test block 4 sensed by the sensor 23 and the maintenance plan list set by the monitor 22, making it convenient for testers to manually adjust the maintenance status and maintenance plan of the test block 4 in a timely manner based on the data from the sensor 23. In addition, the display 24 can also distinguish the number of maintenance days of the test block 4 in different placement cages 1 through color changes, which is more convenient and intuitive.
[0038] In some embodiments, the monitor 22 includes a power supply 221, a control chip 222, and a data collector 223; the power supply 221 is electrically connected to the control chip 222, the data collector 223, the maintenance component 3, and the locking component 21; the control chip 222 is electrically connected to the maintenance component 3, the locking component 21, and the data collector 223; and the data collector 223 is electrically connected to the sensor 23. Specifically, the data collector 223 converts the data information emitted by the sensor 23 into a digital format. The control chip 222 receives the converted information from the data collector 223 and sends it to the display 24 for display. Simultaneously, the control chip 222 adjusts the subsequent maintenance plan based on the converted information. When maintenance conditions are met, such as when the temperature or time reaches a preset value, the control chip 222 sends a signal to the maintenance component 3. The water pump connected to the spray head 32 in the water bottle 31 of the maintenance component 3 then starts, spraying water from the water bottle 31 onto the test block 4 through the spray head 32, completing the maintenance of the test block 4. Of course, each unlocking information of the locking component 21 is also sent to the control chip 222 for storage, for later retrieval.
[0039] In some embodiments, multiple water storage bottles 31 are provided, symmetrically arranged at the four corners of the placement cage 1. Positioning the water storage bottles 31 at the four corners of the placement cage 1 allows for better and more comprehensive curing of the test blocks 4 within the cage 1, avoiding curing blind spots and incomplete curing. Of course, in other embodiments, depending on the number of storage areas 11, multiple sets of water storage bottles 31 can be set up corresponding to the number of storage areas 11, thereby ensuring that each test block 4 receives sufficient curing, allowing for more comprehensive and accurate feedback on the curing effect.
[0040] like Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the bottom of the support foot of the placement cage 1 is provided with a groove 5. An anti-movement plate 51 and a support foot pad 52 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom in the groove 5. A pin 54 is provided on the side of the support foot pad 52 facing the anti-movement plate 51. An elastic element 53 is provided between the support foot pad 52 and the support foot of the placement cage 1. The pin 54 and the anti-movement plate 51 are both electrically connected to the control chip 222. Specifically, since the test block 4 is needed to provide feedback on the curing status of the poured concrete at the construction site, once the position of the test block 4 is determined, it is generally not allowed to be moved during the curing period to avoid deviations and inaccuracies in the curing effect. In this utility model, an anti-movement plate 51 and a support pad are provided at the bottom of the support foot of the placement cage 1. When the test block 4 is placed in the placement cage 1, the weight of the placement cage 1 is relatively large, the elastic element 53 is compressed, and the anti-movement plate 51 contacts and conducts with the ejector pin 54. When the test block 4 is moved and replaced, or the placement cage 1 is lifted and moved, the elastic element 53 pushes the support pad 52 away from the main structure of the placement cage 1, the ejector pin 54 moves downward and disconnects from the anti-movement plate 51. At this time, it is a short circuit state, and the control chip 222 can accurately determine that the test block 4 and the placement cage 1 have been moved, and issue an alarm reminder through a wireless signal.
[0041] In other embodiments, a pressure sensor is provided at the bottom of the support leg of the placement cage 1, and the pressure sensor is electrically connected to the control chip 222. The pressure sensor is also used to detect whether the test block 4 inside the placement cage 1 has been moved or replaced, and whether the placement cage 1 itself has been moved or transferred, so as to avoid the possibility of cheating after the test block 4 is replaced, and to ensure that the test block 4 can accurately reflect the curing status of the concrete.
[0042] In summary, this utility model embodiment provides a concrete curing testing device. By setting a locking device 21, a curing device 3, a monitor 22, and a sensor 23 on the placement cage 1, the test block 4 can be protected, preventing it from being removed and replaced, thus avoiding cheating during the curing process. At the same time, the sensor 23 can also obtain the curing status of the test block 4 in a timely manner, including information such as temperature and humidity, so that the monitor 22 can adjust and control the curing plan of the test block 4 to achieve automatic curing. It also records the number of curing cycles, avoiding the problem of omissions that are easy to occur when testers manually record curing cycles, making the curing process of the test block 4 more complete, and the test block 4 can more accurately reflect the curing effect of the concrete structure.
[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
