Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engineering testing equipment, and in particular to a water tank for testing curb stones. Background Technology
[0002] The curbstone needs to be tested for compressive strength, flexural strength and moisture content. Before testing, the curbstone sample to be tested needs to be soaked in water at (20±3)℃ for (24±0.5)h.
[0003] Because curb stones are usually large, soaking them often presents the following problems: it is difficult to transport the specimens into the water tank; the actual amount of water needed is difficult to adjust for curb stones of different sizes; because the water tank is large, the water filling time is long, and the volume of curb stones tested each time is different, so the amount of water needed is not only large, but may also be inconsistent each time. Therefore, it requires manual supervision and is easy to add too much water, resulting in a waste of human resources and water resources. Utility Model Content

The inner sides of the two opposite long sides of the water tank body have multiple sets of vertically distributed grooves along the length direction. One end of the water tank body is a fixed side and the other end is a movable side. The two sides of the movable side can be inserted into different sets of grooves to adjust the volume of the water tank.
[0006] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the distance between the set of grooves closest to the fixed edge and the fixed edge is 1 / 2 to 2 / 3 of the length of the water tank.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the number of grooves is 3 to 5 sets.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the water tank includes a liquid level sensor and a programmable controller;
[0009] A vertically arranged rod is installed on the inner wall surface of the movable side, and the liquid level sensor is movably installed on the rod.
[0010] The liquid level sensor is connected to the programmable controller and controls the opening and closing of the water inlet switch of the water tank through the programmable controller.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the water tank is further provided with a support frame, which is placed at the bottom of the water tank body; a heating tube is installed inside the support frame.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a temperature sensor is also installed inside the water tank body. The temperature sensor is signal-connected to the program controller and controls the opening and closing of the heating switch of the heating tube through the program controller.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the top of the water tank is also equipped with an insulation cover.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a water tank for curbstone inspection. Through the design of multiple sets of grooves in the long side of the water tank body and movable edges that match the grooves, on the one hand, the volume of the water tank can be adjusted according to the actual size of the curbstone, saving water resources; on the other hand, it reduces the difficulty of transporting the curbstone into the water tank body, saving manpower, making it convenient to use, saving water resources, and highly practical.

[0021] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more definite definition of the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-3 The embodiments of this utility model include:
[0023] Example 1
[0024] This utility model discloses a water tank for curbstone detection, including a water tank body 10, which is a cuboid structure.
[0025] Specifically, the inner sides of the two opposite long sides 11 of the water tank body 10 have 3 to 5 sets of vertically symmetrically distributed grooves 14 along the length direction. In this embodiment, there are 4 sets.
[0026] The water tank body 10 has two short sides, one fixed side 12 and the other movable side 13. The two sides of the movable side 13 can be movably inserted into different sets of the grooves 14. On the one hand, the volume of the water tank body 10 can be adjusted to accommodate curb stones of different sizes, avoiding the problem of water waste caused by the water tank being too large due to the curb stone being too small. On the other hand, the movable side 13 can be removed, allowing the curb stone to be moved into the water tank body 10 through the opening left after the movable side 13 is removed, reducing the difficulty of moving the curb stone into the water tank.
[0027] Specifically, the distance between the set of grooves 14 closest to the fixed edge 12 and the fixed edge 12 is 1 / 2 to 2 / 3 of the length of the water tank body 10, and the outermost set of grooves 14 is located at the end of the long side 11 to ensure that the water tank has the maximum volume.
[0028] The water tank also includes a level sensor 20, a program controller, a support frame 30, and a heating element 40.
[0029] Specifically, a vertically arranged rod 15 is installed on the inner wall of the movable edge 13, and the liquid level sensor 20 is movably installed on the rod 15 and can move up and down along the rod 15 to be fixed at the required height, thereby realizing the determination of the actual water intake according to the size of the curbstone.
[0030] The liquid level sensor 20 is connected to the program controller and controls the opening and closing of the water inlet switch of the water tank through the program controller, thereby achieving constant water level in the water tank body 10 and automatic control of water inlet, saving labor costs.
[0031] The heating element 40 is installed inside the support frame 30. The support frame 30 is movably placed at the inner bottom of the water tank body 10, i.e., its base plate. The length of the support frame 30 is less than or equal to the distance between the movable side 13 and the nearest groove 14, and its width is less than or equal to the width of the water tank body 10. This design ensures that the position of the support frame 30 is adjusted according to the actual volume of the water tank body 10, thereby ensuring that the heat source of the heating element 40 is evenly distributed at the bottom of the water tank body 10.
[0032] A temperature sensor 50 is also installed on the inner wall of the water tank body 10. The temperature sensor 50 is connected to the program controller and controls the opening and closing of the heating switch of the heating tube 40 through the program controller, thereby regulating the water temperature in the water tank within a suitable range.
[0033] In addition, to improve the heat preservation performance of the water tank and save energy, an insulation cover (not shown) can be installed on the top of the water tank body 10.
[0034] This utility model discloses a water tank for curbstone testing. Through the design of multiple sets of grooves within the long side of the tank body and a movable edge matching these grooves, the tank's volume can be adjusted according to the actual size of the curbstone, saving water resources. Furthermore, it reduces the difficulty of transporting the curbstone into the tank, saving manpower. The design of the programmable controller and liquid level sensor enables automated control of water inlet and outlet, further reducing manpower requirements. The design of the support frame, heating element, and thermometer improves the accuracy of temperature regulation. This utility model's water tank has a reasonable structural design, is easy to use, improves the soaking effect of the curbstone, thus contributing to the accuracy of curbstone testing results, saving water resources, and exhibiting excellent overall performance.
