AI Technical Summary
In the existing technology, it is difficult to adjust the height of the suspended basket in the overflow tank, making it difficult to meet the requirements of the distance from the top of the suspended basket to the water surface and the distance between the bottom of the suspended basket and the bottom of the tank, which makes it difficult to test the density and water absorption rate of coarse aggregate.
An overflow water tank was designed, comprising a tank body, a balance frame, a connecting plate, an electronic balance, and a basket body. The height of the basket can be adjusted by adjusting nuts and support rods to ensure that the distance from the top of the basket to the water surface and the distance between the bottom of the basket and the bottom of the tank body are not less than 50mm.
It enables flexible adjustment of the basket height to meet testing requirements and improves the accuracy and efficiency of coarse aggregate density and water absorption tests.

[0002] According to the "Specifications for Testing Aggregates in Highway Engineering", the overflow trough equipment used for determining the density of coarse aggregates in the coarse aggregate density and water absorption test (basket method) is required to maintain a constant water level when weighing the mass in water. The overflow trough equipment used for determining the density of coarse aggregates in the coarse aggregate density and water absorption test (basket method) is required to have an overflow hole to maintain a constant water level, and the volume should be large enough. When hanging the basket and adding water to the overflow hole position, the distance between the bottom of the basket and the bottom of the trough and the surrounding side walls should not be less than 50mm. According to the test requirements, the distance from the top of the basket to the water surface should not be less than 50mm. However, due to the inconsistent size of the baskets, adjusting the height of the basket from the bottom of the trough each time has become a difficulty. Utility Model Content
