Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building engineering technology, and more specifically, it relates to a cement curing trough. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of construction engineering quality testing, the standard curing of cement specimens is a key link to ensure the accuracy of test data. As a special equipment for specimen curing, the performance of cement curing tanks directly affects the curing effect. Currently, cement curing tanks on the market generally adopt simple water storage and soaking methods. Although they can meet the basic curing needs, they have many shortcomings in actual use, especially in terms of water flow control.
[0003] In practical applications, the curing quality of cement specimens is closely related to the uniformity and stability of water flow. Most existing cement curing tanks adopt a single water injection and drainage structure, which cannot achieve precise adjustment of water flow rate. This results in uneven water distribution in the curing tank, with some areas having excessive water flow and others having insufficient water flow. This not only affects the curing effect of the specimens but also easily causes uneven curing. At the same time, due to the lack of effective water flow control methods, it is inconvenient to change the curing water or clean the curing tank, which reduces the efficiency of equipment use and the quality of curing.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a cement curing tank, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. The water conveying mechanism achieves a reasonable distribution of water flow by setting up a combination structure of water pump, water supply pipe, diversion pipe, connecting pipe and outlet pipe on the water storage tank. The double-set design of the diversion pipe, together with the connection pipe, ensures that the first curing tank and the second curing tank can obtain a balanced water supply.

[0037] In this embodiment, the water pump 5 draws water from the water storage tank 1 and delivers it through the water pipe 6.

After the adjustment is completed, multiple sets of push springs 32 push the limiting sleeve 33 to abut against the top of multiple sets of limiting blocks 29, and push the multiple sets of limiting blocks 29 to engage in the limiting groove 31.
[0038] In summary, during the use or operation of the overall equipment: water pump 5 draws water from water storage tank 1, delivers it through water pipe 6, and the water flow is divided by diversion pipe 7. The water flow between the two diversion pipes 7 is balanced by connecting pipe 8.

Multiple partition plates 22 in the first curing tank 2 can separate different curing areas. Water injection pipe 23 is used to replenish water to water storage tank 1. Sealing cover 24 ensures system sealing. When water flow adjustment is required, pushing limit sleeve 33 releases the contact with multiple limit blocks 29 and compresses multiple push springs 32. The elastic reset of multiple sets of reset springs 30 pulls the limiting block 29 away from the limiting groove 31, releasing the restriction on the rotating sleeve 12. The rotating sleeve 12 drives the screw 14 to rotate through the transmission sleeve 13. The screw 14 and the mating sleeve 15 are threaded together to push the push sleeve 16 to abut against the bottom surface of multiple sets of sliders 19, thereby pushing the multiple sets of sliders 19 to slide along the slide rod 18, driving multiple sets of control plates 20 to adjust the number of blocks on multiple sets of through holes 21, thereby adjusting the flow space of water and adjusting the flow rate of water. When the multiple sets of sliders 19 move, they squeeze the multiple sets of compression springs. After the adjustment is completed, the multiple sets of limiting blocks 29 are pushed to engage in the limiting groove 31.
