Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of building construction technology, and in particular to the field of precast concrete technology, specifically relating to an adjustable precast concrete component curing water tank. Background Technology

[0002] Precast concrete components are concrete structures that are prefabricated and cured in a factory or specialized production site, allowing for rapid installation and use on construction sites. Common precast concrete components include precast slabs, columns, beams, and walls, which are typically formed using molds, resulting in high quality control and production efficiency.

[0003] After production, precast concrete components need to be cured in water tanks. The main curing methods for precast concrete components include water curing and wet cloth curing. Water curing involves spraying or immersing the surface of the precast concrete component in water to keep it moist and prevent surface cracking. Wet cloth curing involves covering the surface of the precast concrete component with a damp cloth to keep it moist and prevent surface cracking. In existing technologies, the size of the curing tanks is matched to the highest daily production volume. During the off-season, the daily production volume is relatively low, but the produced concrete components must still be placed in the curing tank for proper curing. Therefore, there are instances where only a dozen or even a few concrete components are immersed in the entire curing tank, resulting in water waste and low economic efficiency.

[0004] China has filed an application for an "Automatic Water-Replenishing Concrete Curing Tank," publication number CN206089476U, which discloses an automatic water-replenishing concrete curing tank. This tank is equipped with a reed switch, whose reeds are connected to a pump-on switch and a pump-off switch. This design allows for automatic detection of the water level in the curing tank, effectively replenishing water when the level is low. This type of curing tank does not require excessive water addition during the curing of concrete components, thus possessing a certain water-saving function. However, this structure still suffers from the problem of not being able to adjust the size of the tank, resulting in situations where only a dozen or even a few concrete components are immersed in the tank, leading to continued water waste. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adjustable curing water tank for precast concrete components. This invention solves the problem of low water utilization in curing water tanks during the off-season, which leads to water resource waste.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is:

[0007] An adjustable precast concrete component curing pool includes a pool body, characterized in that: an adjustment mechanism is provided inside the pool body; a plurality of adjustment mechanisms are arranged at the bottom of the pool body and sequentially connected to divide the pool; each adjustment mechanism includes a base, a baffle plate, a flipping device and a driving device;

[0008] The base is movable and sealed at the bottom of the pool body;

[0009] The water baffle is driven to flip and is vertically installed in the water tank body to form a water baffle. Sealing grooves are provided on both sides and the bottom edge of the water baffle and sealing elements are embedded therein.

[0010] The flipping device is mounted on the base and includes: a flipping seat, a connecting plate, a connecting rod, a connecting piece, a movable part, and a rotating screw. A pair of flipping seats are positioned opposite each other on both sides of the front edge of the base. The front surface of the connecting plate is connected and supported to the back of the baffle plate by multiple fixed posts. A connecting rod is fixed above the bottom edge of the rear surface of the connecting plate. A rotating shaft is respectively set above the bottom edge of each side of the connecting plate and is hinged to the two flipping seats. The connecting rod is perpendicularly connected to the driving part through two connecting pieces perpendicular to the connecting rod. The driving part has two threaded holes symmetrically arranged, and the threads in the two threaded holes are engaged with two parallel rotating screws. The rotating screws are driven to rotate by the driving device and drive the driving part to move along the rotating screws, pushing the connecting plate to rotate around the hinged seat.

[0011] The drive device is further mounted on the base and includes: a sealed mounting box, a drive motor mounted in the mounting box; two rotating lead screws with threaded portions located outside the mounting box and threadedly engaged with the drive component of the flipping device; and smooth rod portions passing through the wall of the mounting box via shaft seals and mounted inside the mounting box. The drive motor synchronously drives the two rotating lead screws via chain drive or belt drive.

[0012] Furthermore, each of the two rotating lead screws is equipped with a sprocket or toothed pulley at one end. The two rotating lead screws are connected by a toothed chain or toothed pulley, and the output shaft of the drive motor is fixed to the pulley. One of the rotating lead screws is connected to the pulley on the output shaft of the drive motor by a toothed belt.

[0013] Furthermore, the pool body is rectangular, and the width or length of the inner wall of the pool body is an integer multiple of the length of the baffle plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the base and the bottom of the pool body are a compression sealing structure, and pressure grooves for placing heavy objects are provided on both sides of the base.

[0015] Furthermore, the rear surface of the connecting plate is provided with multiple parallel connecting columns, and each connecting column has a through hole at its end for fitting and fixing the connecting rod.

[0016] Furthermore, both ends of the connector are provided with hinge sleeves. One end of the hinge sleeve is fitted onto the connecting rod for hinge connection, and the other end of the hinge sleeve is fitted onto the shaft of the driving component for driving hinge connection.

[0017] Furthermore, the sealing element embedded in the water baffle is a sealing strip.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] The adjustment mechanism of this invention can flexibly adjust the size of the partition space according to the number of concrete components to be soaked. This allows for water to be placed in a small space even when only a few components need to be soaked, reducing water consumption and avoiding waste. The design of the base, baffle plate, connectors, movable parts, rotating screw, and drive device in the adjustment mechanism simplifies operation, allowing workers to easily lower or raise the baffle plate to quickly partition a space. The design of the pool body ensures that the width or length of its inner wall is an integer multiple of the baffle plate length, guaranteeing that the adjustment mechanism can stably partition a space within the pool body.

[0028] Example:

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment of the adjustable precast concrete component curing water tank includes a tank body 1 and an adjustment mechanism 2; several adjustment mechanisms 2 are arranged vertically or horizontally at the bottom of the tank body 1; as shown... Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, the adjustment mechanism 2 includes a base 3, a baffle plate 7, a connector 12, a movable part 14, a rotating screw 15, and a drive device; wherein, the base 3 is movably sealed at the bottom of the water tank body 1; one side of the connecting plate 6 is hinged to the flip seat 9 provided on the base 3; the movable part 14 is threadedly engaged with the rotating screw 15; one end of the connector 12 is hinged to the connecting plate 6, and the other end is hinged to the movable part 14; the width or length of the inner wall of the water tank body 1 is an integer multiple of the length of the baffle plate 7; a sealing element is provided between the baffle plates 7 of adjacent adjustment mechanisms 2.

[0030] The water tank body 1 is used to soak precast concrete components after water is added. The adjusting mechanism 2 is used to create a small space within the water tank body 1 for soaking a small number of precast concrete components. The size of the space can be determined by the adjusting mechanism 2 based on the amount of precast concrete components to be soaked. When soaking a small number of precast concrete components, water only needs to be added to the small space, thus achieving water conservation. The base 3 is used to contact and seal the bottom of the water tank, ensuring that water cannot easily flow out through the gap between the base 3 and the water tank.

[0031] The baffle plate 7 forms a partition to block water, causing it to collect in a small space. The baffle plate 7 is hinged to the base 3 via the connecting plate 6 to facilitate lowering it without affecting the overall function of the pool. The width or length of the inner wall of the pool body 1 is an integer multiple of the length of the baffle plate 7 to ensure that the pool body 1 can stably partition the small space using multiple adjustment mechanisms 2. Sealing elements are used to ensure a tight seal between the baffle plates 7; these sealing elements can be sealing tape, sealing strips, or similar structures.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, the drive device is used to drive the rotating screw 15 to rotate, the rotating screw 15 is used to drive the movable part 14 to move, the movable part 14 is used to drive the connecting part 12 to move, and the connecting part 12 is used to drive one side of the connecting plate 6, thereby making the connecting plate 6 stand up or lower horizontally and synchronously drive the baffle plate 7 to stand up or lower horizontally.

[0033] In use, the drive device rotates the lead screw 15, which in turn moves the movable part 14. The movable part 14, through the connector 12, pulls the connecting plate 6 and the baffle plate 7 to rotate and stand up, thus creating a water-blocking effect. The array of adjustment mechanisms 2 is arranged sequentially horizontally or vertically on the water tank body 1, ensuring that the baffle plates 7 in the adjustment mechanisms 2 on both sides are in close contact with the inner wall of the water tank body 1. Sealing elements are added between adjacent baffle plates 7 to ensure a tight seal. Alternatively, a sealing element can be added between the baffle plate 7 and the water tank body 1 to further enhance the sealing effect. It should be noted that this invention is designed for temporary use only and not for long-term use. Therefore, absolute sealing is not required. A small amount of leakage is inevitable with this invention, but this does not affect the actual use effect and still achieves water conservation. Furthermore, a waterproof membrane can be applied to the outside of the assembled adjustment mechanisms 2 to reduce leakage.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, several fixing posts 17 can be fixedly connected to one side of the baffle plate 7. A connecting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the baffle plate 7 through the fixing posts 17, and the connecting plate 6 is hinged to the base 3. The fixing posts 17 and the connecting plate 6 are used to facilitate the connection between the baffle plate 7 and the base 3. By adding the fixing posts 17 and the connecting plate 6, the distance between the baffle plate 7 and the base 3 can be increased, thereby effectively preventing interference between the baffle plate 7 and the base 3 during rotation.

[0035] like Figure 2As shown, flip seats 9 are fixed to both sides of the top of the base 3, and the connecting plate 6 is hinged to the flip seat 9 near the bottom. The flip seat 9 is designed to raise the position of the hinge point, ensuring that the connecting plate 6 and the baffle 7 will not interfere with the base 3 during rotation. In addition, the flip seat 9 and the connecting plate 6 form a lever structure, and a small change can be made to drive the connecting plate 6 and the baffle 7 to rotate by hinged connecting piece 12 to the bottom side of the connecting plate 6.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, several connecting posts 5 are spaced apart on one side of the connecting plate 6. A connecting rod 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting post 5, and a connector 11 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 4. A hinge sleeve 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the connector 12, and the hinge sleeve 10 is movably fitted onto the connector 11. The connecting posts 5 serve two purposes: firstly, to improve the structural strength of the connecting plate 6, and secondly, to facilitate the installation of the connecting rod 4. By setting the connecting rod 4, it is easy to connect with the connector 12, and the hinge sleeve 10 on the connector 12 ensures a stable hinge connection between the connector 12 and the connecting rod 4.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, a mounting box 16 is provided on the base 3, and a motor 18 is used as the drive device, which is housed inside the mounting box 16. One end of the rotating screw 15 extends into the mounting box 16 and is connected to the output shaft of the motor 18. The main function of the mounting box 16 is to protect the motor 18 from water immersion. The motor 18 can be powered by a battery, which is also housed inside the mounting box 16. The motor 18 provides stable power and can be remotely controlled, allowing it to easily rotate the rotating screw 15 to control the raising or lowering of the water baffle 7.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, two rotating lead screws 15 are provided, and the movable part 14 is connected to both rotating lead screws 15 simultaneously. Both rotating lead screws 15 extend into the mounting box 16 and are connected to the output shaft of the motor 18. The two rotating lead screws 15 are provided to ensure the stability of the movement of the movable part 14. Since two rotating lead screws 15 are provided, and both are threadedly connected to the movable part 14, the specifications of the two rotating lead screws 15 need to be consistent and they also need to rotate synchronously and in the same direction to ensure stable movement of the movable part 14. Each of the two rotating lead screws 15 has a pulley at one end, and the two rotating lead screws 15 are connected by a toothed belt. A pulley is fixed to the output shaft of the motor 18, and one of the rotating lead screws 15 is connected to the pulley on the output shaft of the motor 18 via a toothed belt. This design effectively ensures that the two rotating lead screws 15 rotate synchronously and in the same direction.

[0039] The sealing element is specifically a sealing strip. Sealing grooves 8 are provided on both sides of the baffle plate 7, and the sealing strip is placed within the sealing grooves 8. During use, after the adjusting mechanisms 2 are assembled, inserting the sealing strip into the sealing grooves 8 ensures the sealing between the baffle plates 7. Because the sealing strip has a certain degree of deformability, it can fill the gaps between the baffle plates 7, thus ensuring a sealing effect.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, pressure grooves 13 are provided on both sides of the base 3. The pressure grooves 13 are designed to place heavy objects on the base 3, thereby improving the stability of the base 3 and preventing the adjustment mechanism 2 from moving due to water pressure.
