[0002] Concrete poles are mainly composed of steel bars and concrete and are commonly seen in industry and daily life. They are mainly used as overhead line supports in industries such as power, communications, railways, and petroleum. In the manufacturing process of concrete poles, natural steam curing of pre-cast concrete pole molds takes a long time. Most of them use steam curing tanks to steam-cur the molded poles to increase the hardening speed of the cement and increase the turnover rate of the concrete pole molds.
[0003] However, traditional cement pole steam curing tanks have low heat utilization and high energy consumption. In addition, a large amount of steam water is generated during the steam curing process. Over time, a lot of steam water drips into the steam curing tank. Excessive water will affect the steam curing quality of concrete poles and make the concrete pole molds prone to rust. Summary of the Invention

The tank is equipped with an internal insulation layer to reduce heat loss, improve heat utilization, and shorten curing time, thereby reducing energy consumption. Electric heating tubes heat the molded poles, accelerating the hardening speed of the cement. An air intake mechanism evenly sprays steam into the steam curing tank, ensuring uniform heating of the concrete poles and improving the curing effect.

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the preferred embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so as to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art.
[0018] This utility model discloses an energy-saving and heat-insulating steam curing tank for concrete cement poles. The tank mainly includes a steam curing tank 1, an insulation layer 2, a perforated partition 3, a water collection hopper 4, a drainage mechanism 5, a support base 6, an electric heating element 7, an air intake mechanism 8, a cover plate 9, an exhaust pipe 10, and a controller 11. The steam curing tank 1 has a hollow internal structure. The insulation layer 2 is installed on the inner wall of the steam curing tank 1. The perforated partition 3 is installed inside the hollow structure. The water collection hopper 4 is installed at the bottom of the perforated partition 3. The drainage mechanism 5 is installed at the bottom of the water collection hopper 4 and includes a drain pipe 51 and a solenoid valve 52. The drain pipe 51 extends out of the side wall of the steam curing tank 1, and the solenoid valve 52 is installed on the drain pipe 51. The support base 6 is evenly spaced on the top of the perforated partition 3. The interior of the support base 6 is a hollow structure. The heating element 7 is installed inside the support base 6. The electric rod 12 with mold is installed at the top of the support base 6. The air intake mechanism 8 is installed on the steam curing tank 1. The air intake mechanism 8 includes an air intake pipe 81, a second solenoid valve 82, a diverter pipe 83, and a nozzle 84. The air intake pipe 81 is installed on the side wall of the steam curing tank 1. The second solenoid valve 82 is installed on the air intake pipe 81. The diverter pipe 83 is connected to the air intake pipe 81. The nozzle 84 penetrates the side wall of the steam curing tank 1 and is connected to the diverter pipe 83. The nozzle 84 extends into the interior of the steam curing tank 1. The cover plate 9 is installed at the top of the steam curing tank 1. The cover plate 9 is provided with a hanging buckle 91. The exhaust pipe 10 is installed at the top of the cover plate 9. The controller 11 is installed on the side wall of the steam curing tank 1. The heating element 7, the solenoid valve 52, the second solenoid valve 82 and the controller 11 are electrically connected.
[0019] Workers operate a crane to place the molded pole 12 onto the support base 6, ensuring its stability. Then, the lifting coupling 91 is lifted, and the cover plate 9 is closed, creating a sealed space in the curing tank 1. The second solenoid valve 82 and the heating element 7 are opened via the controller 11. High-temperature steam generated by the steam boiler enters the distribution pipe 83 through the inlet pipe 81 and is then evenly sprayed into the curing tank 1 through the nozzles 84. The steam provides heat, accelerating the cement hardening process. The heating element 7 heats the pole, further accelerating the cement hardening speed and improving curing efficiency. The insulation layer 2 reduces heat loss, maintaining a stable temperature within the curing tank 1, improving heat utilization, and reducing energy consumption. During the steam curing process, the steam water generated flows into the water collection hopper 4 through the mesh partition 3. When the water level in the water collection hopper 4 reaches a certain height, the operator adjusts the controller 11 to open the solenoid valve 52, and discharges the water from the water collection hopper 4 through the drain pipe 51. This prevents the steam water from affecting the steam curing quality of the concrete pole and also prevents the concrete pole mold from rusting. According to the characteristics and requirements of the cement, the steam curing time is set by the controller 11. When the steam curing time reaches the set value, the controller 11 closes the electric heating tube 7 and the second solenoid valve 82, stops the steam intake and heating, opens the cover plate 9, and completes the steam curing of the molded pole 12, realizing automated operation and improving steam curing efficiency.
[0020] The water collection hopper 4 is designed with an inverted conical structure; the steam water generated during the steam curing process flows into the water collection hopper 4 through the mesh partition 3, which facilitates the centralized collection and treatment of the steam water.
[0021] The support base 6 is configured as an arc-shaped structure that matches the molded electric rod 12; the molded electric rod 12 is placed on the support base 6 to ensure the stability of the molded electric rod 12.
[0022] The support base 6 is provided with a detachable end cap 61 at its end, and the heating element 7 is installed inside the cavity structure of the support base 6. After long-term use, if the heating element 7 is damaged, the staff can open the end cap 61 to repair or replace the heating element 7.
[0023] Work process:
[0024] Before steam curing the utility poles, the air inlet pipe 81 is first connected to the steam boiler. Workers operate a crane to place the pole with the mold 12 onto the support base 6, ensuring its stability. Then, the lifting coupling 91 is lifted and the cover plate 9 is closed, creating a closed space in the steam curing tank 1. The second solenoid valve 82 and the heating element 7 are opened via the controller 11. High-temperature steam generated by the steam boiler enters the distribution pipe 83 through the air inlet pipe 81 and is then evenly sprayed into the steam curing tank 1 through the nozzle 84. The steam provides heat, accelerating the cement hardening process. The heating element 7 heats the utility pole, further accelerating the cement hardening speed and improving steam curing efficiency. The insulation layer 2 reduces heat loss, maintaining a stable temperature within the steam curing tank 1, improving heat utilization, and reducing... Energy consumption: The exhaust pipe 10 helps maintain a stable pressure in the steam curing tank 1. The steam water generated during the steam curing process flows into the water collection hopper 4 through the mesh baffle 3. When the water level in the water collection hopper 4 reaches a certain height, the operator adjusts the controller 11 to open the solenoid valve 52, and discharges the water into the water collection hopper 4 through the drain pipe 51, avoiding the steam water from affecting the steam curing quality of the concrete pole and preventing the concrete pole mold from rusting. According to the characteristics and requirements of the cement, the steam curing time is set by the controller 11. When the steam curing time reaches the set value, the controller 11 closes the electric heating tube 7 and the second solenoid valve 82, stops the steam intake and heating, opens the cover plate 9, and completes the steam curing of the molded pole 12, realizing automated operation and improving steam curing efficiency.
