Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of concrete storage technology, and in particular to a concrete storage device. Background Technology
[0002] Concrete is made by mixing various materials such as cement, water, and aggregates.
[0003] When concrete remains stationary for an extended period, moisture may gradually seep out and separate from the aggregates and other solid components. Because moisture evaporates faster on the surface of the concrete than inside, this difference in moisture evaporation can cause a hard shell to form on the concrete surface. This hard shell not only increases the difficulty of subsequent concrete construction but may also have an adverse effect on the overall performance of the concrete.
[0004] Furthermore, when the external temperature is high, the concrete inside the storage tank will also be affected by temperature stress. High temperature will accelerate the evaporation of water in the concrete, further aggravating the phenomenon of water-material separation and surface hardening. At the same time, high temperature may also accelerate the chemical reaction inside the concrete, making the hardening process of the concrete uncontrollable, thereby affecting the final performance of the concrete. Therefore, a concrete storage device is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0034] like Figure 1-7As shown, the present invention proposes a concrete storage device, including an inner storage box 16, a cooling outer box 17 for storing coolant on the outer end face of the inner storage box 16, and support components on the bottom of both sides of the outer wall of the cooling outer box 17.
[0035] A cooling conveying assembly is provided on one side of the cooling outer box 17. The liquid inlet of the cooling conveying assembly is connected to the lower part of the outer wall of the cooling outer box 17, and the liquid delivery end of the cooling conveying assembly is connected to the upper part of the outer wall of the cooling outer box 17.
[0036] The other side of the cooling outer box 17 is connected to the circulation mechanism via a detachable component, and the discharge end of the circulation mechanism is located at the opening above the storage inner box 16.
[0037] The opening at the bottom of the storage inner box 16 is connected to the second discharge pipe 21 via the discharge hopper 12. The bottom of the second discharge pipe 21 is rotatably connected to the rotary discharge pipe 11. A valve 22 is provided on the outer end face of the second discharge pipe 21. The liquid outlet end of the rotary discharge pipe 11 is connected to the feed end of the circulation mechanism via a connecting assembly.
[0038] In this invention, when in use, the concrete to be stored is poured into the inner storage tank 16 and the valve 22 is opened. At this time, the concrete inside the inner storage tank 16 will enter the circulation mechanism through the discharge hopper 12 and the rotating discharge pipe 11. Then, this concrete can be transported to the top of the inner storage tank 16 to avoid aggregate settling, water-material separation and surface hardening problems caused by long-term static placement. In addition, the temperature of the coolant inside the cooling outer tank 17 can be reduced by the cooling conveying component to slow down the concrete hardening process and reduce the impact of temperature stress on the concrete performance. When discharging the concrete from the inner storage tank 16, the valve 22 is closed first, and the limit on the rotating discharge pipe 11 is removed by the connecting component. Then, the rotating discharge pipe 11 is rotated, and the valve 22 is opened. At this time, the concrete can fall out through the rotating discharge pipe 11.
[0039] In an optional embodiment, the cooling delivery assembly includes a first connecting pipe 13, a cryogenic coolant circulation pump 14, and a second connecting pipe 15. The cryogenic coolant circulation pump 14 is located on the side wall of the cooling outer casing 17.

A plurality of temperature sensors 24 are provided on the inner bottom wall of the cooling outer casing 17 at intervals.
[0040] It should be noted that multiple temperature sensors 24 are used to detect the temperature of the coolant inside the cooling outer casing 17. When the detected temperature exceeds the preset value, the low-temperature coolant circulation pump 14 will be started, which will draw out the coolant through the first connecting pipe 13. Then, the low-temperature coolant circulation pump 14 will cool the coolant. The cooled coolant will enter the interior of the cooling outer casing 17 through the second connecting pipe 15.
[0041] In an optional embodiment, the detachable component includes fixing bolts 4, mounting brackets 5, and limiting blocks 26. The symmetrically distributed mounting brackets 5 are located on the sides of the cooling outer casing 17.

The fixing bolts 4 and the limiting blocks 26 are threadedly connected. Through the detachable component, the circulation mechanism can be removed from the outer end of the cooling outer casing 17, thereby facilitating its maintenance.
[0042] It should be noted that when the circulation mechanism needs to be disassembled for maintenance, the limiting block 26 and the mounting bracket 5 can be removed by rotating the fixing bolts 4 on both sides, and then the circulation mechanism can be removed from the outer wall of the cooling outer box 17.
[0043] In an optional embodiment, a reinforcing frame 6 is also included, and the bottom of the mounting frame 5 is connected to the side wall of the cooling outer casing 17 via the reinforcing frame 6.
[0044] It should be noted that the reinforcing frame 6 can reinforce the mounting frame 5.
[0045] In an optional embodiment, the circulation mechanism includes a feeding shell 3, a feeding shaft 25, a drive motor 1, a feed pipe 10, and a first discharge pipe 2.

The output shaft of the drive motor 1 passes through the upper end face of the feeding shell 3 and is coaxially connected to the upper end of the feeding shaft 25. The first discharge pipe 2 is inclined and one end is connected to the upper part of the outer wall of the feeding shell 3. The other end of the first discharge pipe 2 is located at the upper opening of the storage inner box 16. The feed pipe 10 is inclined and one end is connected to the lower part of the outer wall of the feeding shell 3. The other end of the feed pipe 10 is connected to the discharge end of the rotating discharge pipe 11 through a connecting component.
[0046] It should be noted that when the drive motor 1 is started, the drive motor 1 can drive the feeding shaft 25 to rotate, thereby driving the concrete that has entered the feeding shell 3 through the rotating discharge pipe 11 and the feed pipe 10 to move upward. Then, the concrete is discharged into the storage inner box 16 through the first discharge pipe 2, thereby transporting the concrete located at the bottom of the storage inner box 16 to the top of the storage inner box 16, avoiding problems such as aggregate settling, water-material separation and surface hardening caused by long-term static placement.
[0047] In an optional embodiment, the connecting assembly includes a limiting ring 23 and a connecting screw sleeve 18. The limiting ring 23 is disposed on the outer wall of the discharge port of the rotating discharge pipe 11, and the connecting screw sleeve 18 is sleeved on the outside of the limiting ring 23. The bottom of the connecting screw sleeve 18 is threadedly connected to the inlet of the feed pipe 10.
[0048] It should be noted that the limiting ring 23 can limit the connecting sleeve 18 to the outlet of the rotating discharge pipe 11; and by rotating the connecting sleeve 18, the rotating discharge pipe 11 is unfixed to the feed pipe 10, which can then drive the rotating discharge pipe 11 to rotate; when it is necessary to connect the feed inlet of the feed pipe 10 to the outlet of the rotating discharge pipe 11, rotate the rotating discharge pipe 11 to position it at the feed inlet of the feed pipe 10, and then rotate the connecting sleeve 18 in the opposite direction to connect the rotating discharge pipe 11 to the feed pipe 10.

[0050] It should be noted that when rotating the rotary discharge pipe 11 to connect it to the feed pipe 10, the rotary discharge pipe 11 is rotated to contact the abutment plate 19. At this time, the discharge port of the rotary discharge pipe 11 is aligned with the feed port of the feed pipe 10. Then, the connecting screw sleeve 18 is rotated to connect it to the feed pipe 10, thereby connecting and fixing the discharge port of the rotary discharge pipe 11 to the feed port of the feed pipe 10.
[0051] In an optional embodiment, the support assembly includes a side plate 7 and a first support rod 8. The bottom of both sides of the outer wall of the cooling outer box 17 are respectively connected to the side plate 7, and a plurality of first support rods 8 are vertically spaced at the bottom of the side plate 7.
