Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of building structure testing technology, and specifically relates to a counterweight device for static load testing of floor slabs. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of building structural testing, with the significant increase in people's awareness of the safety of residential and residential buildings, the importance of building safety testing and assessment has become increasingly prominent. Among them, the testing of floor slab load-bearing capacity is one of the key links in building safety assessment, and the static load test method is a widely used and effective testing method.
[0003] The core operation of static load testing lies in applying a load to the surface of the floor slab under test. During this process, the load is precisely monitored as it gradually increases, and various changes in the target floor slab's condition are observed, including but not limited to the degree of deformation and the occurrence and development of cracks. This allows for a scientific determination of the floor slab's load-bearing capacity. However, traditional static load tests using counterweights such as bagged sand, bagged cement, and building blocks have significant shortcomings: 1. In terms of load control, these traditional counterweights have inherent mass inhomogeneities, making precise measurement and distribution adjustment during loading difficult, thus hindering high-precision control of the load. 2. Bagged sand and cement are prone to packaging damage, leading to material spillage. This not only increases the difficulty of cleanup but may also create safety hazards such as slippery surfaces at the construction site, endangering the safety of on-site personnel. 3. Bagged materials such as sand and cement may become unusable due to moisture or damage. 4. Bagged sand and cement are prone to generating dust during storage and use, which pollutes the air quality at and around the construction site, affecting the living environment of nearby residents and the health of construction workers. Utility Model Content
[0004] The present invention aims to provide a counterweight device for static load testing of floor slabs, so as to achieve accurate measurement and distribution adjustment of the counterweight.
[0005] One of the counterweight devices for static load testing of floor slabs in this solution includes multiple counterweight boxes, each of which is equipped with an inlet and an outlet. The outlet of one counterweight box is connected to the inlet of the next counterweight box via a flexible hose. The inlet of the foremost counterweight box and / or the outlet of the last counterweight box are connected to a metering valve.
[0006] The working principle and beneficial effects of this scheme are as follows: During the static load test of the floor slab, multiple counterweight boxes are first placed sequentially at their respective positions on the floor slab and connected one by one via flexible hoses to form a complete counterweight system. Water is injected into the counterweight boxes through the inlet and / or outlet. Metering valves are used to precisely control the inflow or outflow of liquid, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the liquid weight in each counterweight box and accurate measurement and distribution adjustment of the entire counterweight device. During the test, as the load gradually increases, the floor slab's deformation, crack formation and development, and other changes in condition are observed. Combined with the readings of the metering valves, the floor slab's load-bearing capacity is accurately determined.
[0007] Furthermore, the hose is equipped with a quick-connect coupling. This quick-connect coupling makes connecting and disassembling the counterweight boxes extremely convenient and efficient.
[0008] Furthermore, the outer walls of the counterweight box, which has both an inlet and an outlet, are equipped with storage components for storing hoses and quick connectors. This facilitates the orderly storage of hoses and quick connectors, keeping the site tidy and organized.
[0009] Furthermore, the storage assembly includes a storage tray detachably connected to the outer wall of the counterweight box. A cover plate for opening and closing its opening is hinged to the upper part of the storage tray. The inner bottom of the storage tray has a spiral-shaped storage groove for storing the hose. The wall of the storage tray has a notch for the hose to pass through, and the notch communicates with the storage groove. At the center of the inner bottom of the storage tray is a groove for storing quick-connect fittings, and the groove communicates with the end of the storage groove away from the notch. The spiral-shaped storage groove allows the hose to be tightly and neatly wound inside the groove, and the groove can store the quick-connect fittings, thus effectively utilizing space and preventing the hose from piling up haphazardly.
[0010] Furthermore, the inner bottom of the storage tray is provided with a first channel connecting each ring of storage slots. The first channel is connected to the notch and is a straight line. The first channel is connected to each ring of storage slots, allowing for the selection of a suitable storage slot based on the length of the hose, thus preventing the quick connector from being unable to fit into the slot, or the hose from being folded too much after the quick connector is placed in the slot.
[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the storage tray is provided with a second channel, which is positioned opposite to the first channel. The second channel connects to each ring of storage grooves and is also connected to the recess. The second channel provides more path options and flexibility for storing the hose. By cooperating with the first and second channels, the hose can be more evenly distributed in the storage grooves, avoiding the situation where the hose is too long and piles up in one place.
[0012] Furthermore, the hinge between the cover plate and the storage tray is located at the top of the storage tray, and the cover plate is provided with finger grooves. The hinge being located at the top allows the cover plate to close the opening of the storage tray under its own weight, while the storage tray can be easily opened via the finger grooves.
[0013] Furthermore, both the inlet and outlet are located near the bottom of the counterweight box, allowing for a wider range of counterweight adjustments.
[0014] Furthermore, the inlet and outlet are located on opposite sides of the counterweight box, facilitating connection between different counterweight boxes. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The specific implementation process is as follows: Before conducting the static load test on the floor slab, sixteen counterweight boxes 1 are first placed on the floor slab in predetermined positions (the number and layout of counterweight boxes 1 can be adjusted according to the floor slab area, shape, and test requirements during actual use). Each counterweight box 1 is connected sequentially via a hose 2 with a quick connector to form a complete counterweight system. Water is then injected into the counterweight boxes 1 through the inlet pipe. The flow rate of water is precisely controlled using the metering valve 4 on the inlet pipe. Water flows sequentially through the inlet 5, outlet 6, and hose 2 of each counterweight box 1 until the entire counterweight system is filled. During the water injection process, the reading of the metering valve 4 is observed to precisely adjust the liquid weight in each counterweight box 1, thereby achieving accurate measurement and distribution adjustment of the counterweight of the entire counterweight device to meet different test loading requirements. The liquid weight in the counterweight box 1 can also be further adjusted through the outlet pipe 3.
[0026] During the test, as the load gradually increased, the floor slab's deformation, crack formation and development, and other changes were observed. Combined with the readings from metering valve 4, the floor slab's load-bearing capacity was accurately determined.
