Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bridge and large-scale complex building technology, specifically an automatic curing device for ultra-high concrete columns. Background Technology

[0002] During the hardening and solidification of concrete, cement undergoes a hydration reaction, requiring timely watering for curing. However, the traditional method of watering concrete columns using pipes is generally employed. This manual method is only suitable for a small number of low-height concrete columns. In bridge engineering and large-scale complexes, where concrete columns are tall and numerous, curing becomes a significant technical challenge. Because water inlets are located at fixed points on the construction site, extending the pipes is necessary if the concrete column is far from them, increasing the workload for each curing cycle. Furthermore, the impact of the water flow can easily damage the outer wall of the concrete column. Additionally, water spraying is wasteful and susceptible to water pressure variations, limiting the spray height and leaving higher sections of the column untreated, thus affecting the overall quality of the concrete. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic curing device for ultra-high concrete columns, which can replace manual curing of ultra-high concrete columns, saving costs and water resources.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. The purpose of this description is only to better understand the content of the present invention. Therefore, the examples given do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] An automatic curing device for ultra-high concrete columns consists of a spraying assembly 2, a placement platform 1, and a support frame, with the placement platform 1 placed at one end of the support frame.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, the storage platform 1 has a box-shaped structure. Inside the storage platform 1, a storage battery 101, a water tank 102, a water pump 103, and a drive assembly are installed. The storage battery 101 provides power to the water pump 103 and the drive assembly. In this embodiment, the storage battery 101 is a lead-acid battery pack. The water tank 102 is made of lightweight materials to reduce the overall weight of the device.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the support frame consists of two parallel fixed supports 3 and a fixed plate 4 placed between the two fixed supports 3. One end of each fixed support 3 is fixedly connected to the storage platform 1, and the other end is detachably connected through the fixed plate 4.

[0029] Each fixed bracket 3 is composed of bracket one 301 and bracket two 302. Bracket one 301 and bracket two 302 are cut from channel steel. One end of bracket one 301 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the storage platform 1, and the other end of bracket one 301 is hinged to one end of bracket two 302 through hinge 303. The other end of bracket two 302 is vertically connected to a fixing plate 4 on its inner side, and the fixing plate 4 is fixedly connected to bracket two 302. The two fixing plates 4 are detachably connected.

[0030] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown, a limiting plate 5 is hinged to the outer wall of either of the two fixed plates 4. The end of the limiting plate 5 away from the hinge point has a slot 501 at its lower part. The outer wall of the other fixed plate 4 is provided with a limiting shaft 6 that is adapted to the slot 501. A limiting block 7 is provided at the end of the limiting shaft 6 to prevent the limiting plate 5 from slipping off the limiting shaft 6.

[0031] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, rolling wheels 8 are respectively installed inside the support frame. The rolling wheels 8 abut against the surface of the concrete column. The rolling wheels 8 consist of driving wheels 801 and driven wheels 802. There are two driving wheels 801 and two driven wheels 802. Two driving wheels 801 are installed on one side of the platform 1, and two driven wheels 802 are installed one-to-one with two fixed plates 4.

[0032] In this embodiment, the drive assembly connecting the two drive wheels 801 via the drive shaft 11 consists of a drive motor 104, a drive gear 9, and a driven gear 10. The drive motor 104 is electrically connected to the battery 101, and its output terminal is connected to the drive gear 9. The drive gear 9 meshes with the driven gear 10 mounted on the drive shaft 11. The drive motor 104 drives the two drive wheels 801 to rotate via gear transmission.

[0033] In this embodiment, the driving wheel 801 and the driven wheel 802 are respectively made of rubber to increase the friction between the driving wheel 801, the driven wheel 802 and the surface of the concrete column during operation.

[0034] like Figure 2As shown, the sprinkler assembly 2 consists of sprinkler pipes and sprinkler heads 204. The sprinkler pipes are located on the top of the support frame. Specifically, the sprinkler pipes consist of a main sprinkler pipe 201, a first sprinkler pipe 202, and a second sprinkler pipe 203. The main sprinkler pipe 201 is located near the storage platform 1 and is connected to the water tank 102 via a water pump 103. Each end of the main sprinkler pipe 201 is connected to a first sprinkler pipe 202 via an elbow connector 205. The end of each first sprinkler pipe 202 away from the main sprinkler pipe 201 is connected to a second sprinkler pipe 202 via a flexible hose 206. The end of each first sprinkler pipe 202 away from the flexible hose 206 is a closed end. Sprinkler heads 204 are spaced apart on the main sprinkler pipe 201, the first sprinkler pipe 202, and the second sprinkler pipe 203, with the nozzles facing inwards towards the support frame.

[0035] In this embodiment, in order to further fix the second spray branch pipe 203, pipe clamps 12 are installed on the top of the two fixing plates 4 respectively, and the second spray branch pipe 203 is snapped into the pipe clamps 12.

[0036] In this embodiment, the drive motor 104 and the water pump 103 can be wirelessly controlled by a remote control to start with one button (the wireless control of the drive motor and water pump by the remote control is existing technology and will not be described here).

[0037] When this device is used, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the specific steps are as follows:

[0038] S1. Separate the limiting plate 5 on the fixing plate 4 from the limiting shaft 6, and separate the spray branch pipe 203 from the pipe clamp 12.

[0039] S2. Rotate the two brackets 302 respectively, so that the fixing plate 4 opens outward with the brackets 302 connected to it. Then install the device on the concrete column. During installation, the concrete column is placed between the two fixing brackets 3.

[0040] S3. Rotate the two support frames in opposite directions until the two fixed plates 4 come into contact. Then, use the limiting plate 5 and the limiting shaft 6 to connect the two fixed plates 4. Then, connect the spray branch pipe 203 to the pipe clamp 12 on the corresponding fixed plate 4. At this time, the installation of this device is completed.

[0041] S4. Fill the water tank 102 with water. Since the end of the support frame with the water tank 102 is heavier than the end without the water tank 102, the device is tilted, that is, the end with the water tank 102 is down and the end without the water tank 102 is up.

[0042] S5. Use a remote control to control the drive motor 104 to rotate. The drive motor 104 drives the two drive wheels 801 to rotate through gear transmission. The drive wheels 801 drive the entire device to climb up the bottom of the concrete column to the top of the column.

[0043] S6. Turn on the water pump 103 switch, and the spray assembly 2 starts to work. At the same time, control the support frame to descend at a constant speed along the top of the concrete column until it reaches the bottom of the column.

[0044] S7. Turn off all switches, rotate the limit plate 5 to disengage it from the limit shaft 6, and remove the device.

[0045] S8. Repeat the above steps to cure the next concrete column.

[0046] This invention utilizes a drive wheel and a driven wheel to climb along a concrete column, completing the spraying and curing of the concrete column during the climbing process. This allows the spraying to be unrestricted by water pressure, enabling better curing of the top of the concrete column. It replaces the traditional manual water pipe watering method, reducing the difficulty of curing ultra-high concrete columns, effectively reducing maintenance costs, and greatly improving overall work efficiency.

[0047] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the scope of the present utility model. All equivalent changes made based on the content of the present utility model specification and its drawings are included within the scope of the present utility model.
