Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of concrete preparation devices, specifically to a teardrop-shaped sand-free concrete preparation device. Background Technology

[0002] In railway tunnel construction, drainage and waterproofing have always been key aspects, adhering to principles that combine prevention, drainage, interception, and blocking, adapting to local conditions and employing comprehensive management. However, tunnels located deep in mountains or underground are susceptible to water damage from prolonged exposure to dynamic water, leading to issues such as cracking, softening, and leakage of the dense concrete lining, as well as erosion of internal electrical and grounding systems, causing irreparable harm. To better manage dynamic water flow from the tunnel walls, several methods are employed: ① laying drainage boards between the initial support concrete and the secondary lining concrete; ② laying drainage boards on the inner surface of the initial support to drain dynamic water from the sidewalls to drainage holes on both sides of the tunnel, which then drains it into ditches on both sides; ③ laying circumferential and longitudinal drainage pipes at the tunnel floor to drain dynamic water from the tunnel floor to ditches on both sides. For even better drainage of sidewall dynamic water, longitudinal drainage pipes are laid at the waist of the sidewalls to collect dynamic water behind the rock-facing surface of each secondary lining slab. When a tunnel is located in a water-rich area, dynamic water between the lining slabs can easily penetrate and erode the secondary lining, creating weak points at the slab joints. In such cases, adding teardrop-shaped no-fines concrete facilitates the drainage of this dynamic water into longitudinal drainage blind pipes. These longitudinal drainage blind pipes are often perforated pipes to collect dynamic water from the rock-facing side. To prevent blockage, no-fines concrete can be used for filtration. The use of no-fines concrete in the sidewalls of railway tunnels has become a trend. However, most existing concrete production equipment is not designed specifically for the shape characteristics of teardrop-shaped no-fines concrete, making it difficult to efficiently and effectively produce the required high-quality teardrop-shaped no-fines concrete products. Traditional preparation methods often suffer from low efficiency, unstable quality, and high costs, and produce concrete with poor shape consistency, failing to meet the standardized and large-scale production requirements of teardrop-shaped no-fines concrete in railway tunnel engineering. Furthermore, complex production equipment often requires special materials and processing techniques, increasing production costs and construction difficulty. Utility Model Content

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0026] Figure 1This is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the present invention. The diagram can clearly show the overall three-dimensional structure of the device, including the cover plate 1, side mold 5, bottom film 6, teardrop-shaped partition 2, and the relative positional relationship between each component, so that the observer can have an intuitive understanding of the shape and spatial structure of the device. Figure 2 This is a front view of the present invention, which shows the main structural features of the device from the front, such as the arrangement of the cover plate 1, side mold 5, teardrop-shaped partition 2, and the setting position of the hinge 4, which helps to understand the front structure and size proportions of the device. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the bottom of the present invention, mainly showing the layout of the bottom triangular support 3 and the welding of the bottom membrane 6 and the teardrop-shaped partition 2, which provides an important basis for the bottom stability and structural integrity of the analysis device; Figure 4 This is a side view of the present invention, showing the connection relationship between the side mold 5, the cover plate 1, and the bottom film 6, as well as the overall height and side profile of the device, further supplementing the understanding of the device structure.

[0027] according to Figures 1-4 The device for preparing teardrop-shaped no-fines concrete includes a cover plate 1, teardrop-shaped partitions 2, side molds 5, and a bottom mold 6. The cover plate 1 is movably connected to the upper end of the side mold 5, and the bottom mold 6 is movably connected to the lower end of the side mold 5. The cover plate 1, bottom mold 6, and side mold 5 are closed relative to each other to form an elongated preparation cavity. The teardrop-shaped partitions 2 are evenly distributed in the elongated preparation cavity. The straight edge of the lower end of the teardrop-shaped partitions 2 is connected to the bottom mold 6. The arc-shaped bottom edge of the teardrop-shaped partitions 2 is in contact with but not connected to the side mold 5 in the working state, and the straight edge of the upper end of the teardrop-shaped partitions 2 is in contact with but not connected to the cover plate 1 in the working state.

[0028] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the teardrop-shaped partitions 2 are evenly distributed within the preparation cavity at intervals of 0.2–0.5 m. Their dimensions can be adjusted according to actual site requirements without affecting the overall function. These teardrop-shaped partitions 2 are used to form the molding space for teardrop-shaped no-fines concrete, ensuring the consistency of the concrete shape. Preferably, when the teardrop-shaped partitions are spaced 0.2 m apart, 15 teardrop-shaped no-fines concrete pieces can be produced at once, improving production efficiency. The lower straight edge of the teardrop-shaped partition 2 is firmly welded to the bottom mold 6, ensuring structural stability during concrete pouring and vibration. Simultaneously, it separates from the side mold 5, facilitating subsequent opening of the side mold 5.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the cover plate 1 and the side mold 5 are connected by hinge 4; the bottom film 6 is connected to the side mold 5 by hinge 4.

[0030] The hinges 4 are set at intervals of 0.5 ± 0.2 m. Preferably, a hinge 4 is set at the connection between the cover plate 1 and the side mold 5 at an interval of 0.5 m, and a hinge 4 is set at the connection between the side mold 5 and the bottom mold 6 at an interval of 0.5 m. Through these hinges 4, the side mold 5 can be opened relative to the bottom mold 6 through the bottom hinge 4, and the cover plate 1 can be opened through the hinge 4 connected to the side mold 5, which makes it convenient to take out the processed teardrop-shaped no-fines concrete after the concrete is formed.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, multiple sets of triangular supports 3 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the bottom membrane 6, so that the straight edge of the upper end of the overall teardrop-shaped partition 2 is horizontal.

[0032] The triangular supports 3 are arranged at intervals of 0.5 ± 0.2 m. Preferably, the triangular supports 3 are arranged at intervals of 0.5 m at the bottom of the bottom membrane 6 to enhance the overall structural strength and stability of the device and prevent the device from deforming or being damaged during concrete pouring and transportation.

[0033] The materials used in the manufacture of this device are all common consumables found on construction sites. The cover plate 1, teardrop-shaped partition 2, side mold 5 and bottom mold 6 are all made of steel plate, which is simple to process and easy to use.

[0034] The overall length of the teardrop-shaped sand-free concrete preparation device is 3.0±0.5m, and the preferred length of the preparation device is 3.0m. It can produce multiple teardrop-shaped sand-free concretes at the same time, while ensuring the stability of the preparation device.

[0035] When using the teardrop-shaped no-fines concrete production device, first open the top cover plate 1 and slowly pour the pre-mixed no-fines concrete into the space formed by the teardrop-shaped partition plate 2. During pouring, strictly control the concrete height to ensure even filling. Then, thoroughly vibrate the poured concrete to ensure its density and quality. After vibration, replace the top cover plate 1. Once the concrete reaches its design strength, reopen the top cover plate 1. Since the top cover plate 1 and the side mold 5 are connected by hinges 4, a gentle force is sufficient to open the top cover plate 1 smoothly. Next, gently tap the side mold 5 with a small hammer. Using the hinges 4 connecting the side mold 5 and the bottom mold 6, the bottom mold 6 can be easily opened, allowing the finished teardrop-shaped no-fines concrete block to be directly removed. The entire process is simple and convenient, requiring no complex machinery or excessive manpower.

[0036] When using this teardrop-shaped no-fines concrete production device, follow these steps:

[0037] 1. Preparation stage: Ensure the device is placed on a stable working surface, check whether each component is intact, whether the hinge 4 is connected smoothly, and whether the teardrop-shaped partition 2 is damaged or deformed.

[0038] 2. Concrete pouring: Open the top cover plate 1 and slowly pour the pre-mixed teardrop-shaped no-fines concrete into the teardrop-shaped partition space inside the device according to the design requirements. During the pouring process, use measuring tools to strictly control the height of the concrete to ensure that the volume and weight of each piece of concrete are relatively consistent.

[0039] 3. Vibration treatment: Use appropriate vibration equipment to fully vibrate the poured concrete. The vibration time and intensity are determined according to the concrete mix ratio and construction specifications to ensure that the concrete is dense and free of air bubbles and voids.

[0040] 4. Molding and curing: After vibration, quickly cover with cover plate 1 to reduce concrete moisture evaporation. Curing should be carried out according to concrete curing requirements until the concrete reaches the design strength.

[0041] 5. Demolding and removal: After the concrete reaches the design strength, first open the top cover plate 1, then gently tap the side mold 5 with a small hammer, and open the bottom mold 6 in sequence. Carefully remove the prepared teardrop-shaped sand-free concrete block to avoid damaging the concrete block during the demolding process.

[0042] 6. Cleaning and maintenance: After removing the concrete blocks, promptly clean up any remaining concrete debris and other contaminants inside the device, check the wear condition of each component, and lubricate and maintain moving parts such as hinges to prepare for the next production run.

[0043] Where there is no conflict, those skilled in the art can combine the relevant technical features in the above examples according to the actual situation to achieve the corresponding technical effects. Specific details of the various combinations will not be elaborated here.
