Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of concrete shrinkage testing, specifically a concrete shrinkage testing device. Background Technology
[0002] When concrete encounters changes in the natural environment, it will expand and shrink. Both expansion and shrinkage of concrete can cause cracks in the wall, affecting the indicators for evaluating the durability of concrete.
[0003] After concrete production is completed, existing concrete shrinkage expansion testers are used to test the shrinkage expansion rate of the concrete to determine whether the concrete is qualified. When using existing testing equipment, the concrete specimen needs to be placed in a concave box, the clamps at both ends are aligned with the two ends of the concrete, the connecting blocks at the ends of the clamps are in contact with the detection end of the testing instrument, the reading of the testing instrument is zeroed, and the shrinkage expansion rate of the concrete is determined by observing the reading of the testing instrument after one end has been left to stand for a period of time. After the test, the concrete specimen needs to be manually removed from the concave box, which requires flipping the concave box to remove it, which is quite cumbersome. Based on this, this utility model proposes a concrete shrinkage testing device. Utility Model Content

[0013] The positioning rod is fixed to the inner wall of the guard plate and passes through the push block. The positioning rod is used to guide the axial movement of the push block.
[0014] The two ends of the spring are respectively engaged with the inner wall of the guard plate and the outer wall of the positioning rod, and the spring is used to provide a directional compressive force to the positioning rod at all times.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0029] Please see Figures 1-3 In this embodiment of the present invention, a concrete shrinkage testing device includes a base 1, two movable seats 2 are slidably installed on the top of the base 1, a clamping plate 3 is fixed to the end of one movable seat 2, and a testing instrument 4 is installed at the end of the other movable seat 2. A concave box 5 is provided at the top of the base 1 to contact the clamping plate 3. An adjusting screw 7 is provided at the end of the base 1 away from the concave box 5. The adjusting screw 7 passes through the base and is threadedly connected to the bottom of the movable seat 2 that contacts the testing instrument 4. A limiting mechanism 6 is provided on the concave box 5.
[0030] The limiting mechanism 6 includes a limiting unit and a transmission unit;
[0031] The transmission unit is used to provide power for the movement of the limit unit;
[0032] The limiting unit is used to limit the connection between the concave box 5 and the protective plate 607;
[0033] The limiting unit includes a push block 601, a limiting block 602, a positioning rod 603, a spring 604, and a guard plate 607;
[0034] The protective plate 607 is slidably installed on both sides of the concave box 5. The protective plate 607 is used to position the specimen inside the concave box 5.
[0035] The push block 601 is axially slidably installed on the inner wall of the guard plate 607 and extends to the outside of the guard plate 607. The push block 601 is used to synchronously drive the limit block 602 to move.
[0036] The limiting block 602 is fixed to the end of the push block 601 and extends to the inner side of the end of the concave box 5. The limiting block 602 is used to limit the connection between the concave box 5 and the guard plate 607.
[0037] The positioning rod 603 is fixed to the inner wall of the guard plate 607 and passes through the push block 601. The positioning rod 603 is used to provide guidance for the axial movement of the push block 601.
[0038] The two ends of the spring 604 are respectively engaged with the inner wall of the guard plate 607 and the outer wall of the positioning rod 603. The spring 604 is used to provide a directional squeezing force to the positioning rod 603 at all times.
[0039] The transmission unit includes a transmission rod 605 and a pressing block 606;
[0040] The transmission rod 605 is fixed to the end of the push block 601. The transmission rod 605 is used to receive the squeezing force from the pressing block 606 to drive the push block 601 to move axially.
[0041] The pressing block 606 is laterally slidably mounted on the inner wall of the guard plate 607 and extends to the outside of the guard plate 607. The pressing block 606 is used to apply a pressing force to the transmission rod 605.
[0042] In this embodiment, it should be noted that: the top of the base 1 is provided with a "convex" shaped groove for the movable seat 2 to slide horizontally, and the bottom of the movable seat 2 is formed with a "convex" shaped slider that matches the "convex" shaped groove. The "convex" shaped slider at the bottom of the movable seat 2, which is in contact with the detection instrument 4, is threadedly connected to the adjusting screw 7.
[0043] When the specimen needs to be tested, the specimen is placed inside the concave box 5. The movable seat 2 corresponding to the clamp 3 is moved so that the clamp 3 fixed on the movable seat 2 contacts the two sides of the specimen. Then, the movable seat 2 corresponding to the testing instrument 4 is moved by rotating the adjusting screw 7 so that the probe part of the testing instrument 4 contacts the end shaft of the clamp 3 that passes through the movable seat 2. When the specimen shrinks and expands, the end of the clamp 3 is pushed to move. The shrinkage and expansion rate of the specimen is judged by the reading of the testing instrument 4.
[0044] When it is necessary to remove the tested specimen, pressure can be applied to the pressing block 606, causing it to move laterally along the inside of the guard plate 607. The laterally moving pressing block 606 will contact both ends of the transmission rod 605, giving the transmission rod 605 a squeezing force that pushes it away from each other. The force-bearing transmission rod 605 will simultaneously drive the push block 601 to move axially, causing the push block 601 to move along the outer wall of the positioning rod 603 and apply squeezing force to the spring 604. The moving push block 601 simultaneously drives the limiting block 602 to move, causing the limiting block 602 to move out of the limiting grooves at both ends of the concave box 5. The limiting block 602 at the other end of the concave box 5 moves out simultaneously, thereby releasing the connection and limiting between the concave box 5 and the guard plate 607, making it easier to remove the specimen inside the concave box 5, and further improving work efficiency.
[0045] Please refer to this carefully. Figures 1-3 Multiple transmission rods 605 are provided, and the multiple transmission rods 605 are symmetrically distributed on the outside of the guard plate 607. The outer walls of the two ends of the transmission rods 605 near the pressing block 606 are inclined. The inner wall of the guard plate 607 is formed with a sliding groove for the pressing block 606 to move laterally. The outer wall of the pressing block 606 near the transmission rod 605 is also inclined. The outer wall of the guard plate 607 is formed with a sliding groove for the push block 601 to move axially. The outer wall of the push block 601 is generally U-shaped. The outer walls of the two ends of the concave box 5 are formed with holes and slots for the limiting block 602 to enter. The ends of the limiting block 602 are inclined.
[0046] In this embodiment: With this structure, when the push block 601 and the transmission rod 605 are subjected to the squeezing force from the pressing block 606 and move axially, the two symmetrically distributed push blocks 601 and transmission rod 605 move away from each other synchronously, thereby synchronously releasing the connection limit of the two limiting blocks 602 on the concave box 5 and the guard plate 607.
[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
