Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steam curing devices, and in particular to a novel steam curing equipment. Background Technology
[0002] After being poured, vibrated, and compacted, concrete will set and solidify over a period of time. During this setting process, concrete hardens through the hydration of cement. If the concrete is not properly cured in hot, dry weather, the surface will crack or become porous due to premature evaporation of moisture, reducing its impermeability. Furthermore, premature evaporation of moisture before the concrete has reached sufficient strength can cause significant shrinkage deformation, leading to drying shrinkage cracks and lowering product quality.
[0003] In existing technologies, steam curing experiments on concrete are typically conducted using steam curing equipment. Traditional steam curing equipment usually includes a curing chamber, a heating device, and an isolation grate. The isolation grate and heating device are all installed inside the curing chamber. The heating device heats the water inside the curing chamber, causing the water to generate steam. The concrete product is then placed on the isolation grate, and the concrete product is cured by the steam. In actual use, traditional curing chambers have relatively limited functions, usually only capable of simple immersion curing or steam curing. They cannot meet the curing requirements of various building materials, such as cement-based grouting materials, under different testing needs. For example, for tests requiring constant temperature immersion, such as cement density tests, traditional curing chambers cannot provide a stable and standard testing environment, resulting in low applicability of the equipment and affecting work efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new type of steam curing equipment to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a novel steam curing equipment.
[0006] This utility model provides a novel steam curing device comprising: a curing chamber, a heater, a bottom grate, a middle grate, and an upper grate. The curing chamber has six mounting slots located on opposite sides of its interior. One side of the heater is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the curing chamber. The bottom grate, the middle grate, and the upper grate are sequentially and movably installed within the six mounting slots. The bottom grate has multiple first through holes, and the middle and upper grates each have multiple second through holes. A reset component is located at the bottom of each of the six mounting slots, and a locking component is located on the side of each mounting slot furthest from the reset component.
[0007] Preferably, the bottom grate is a stainless steel perforated grate, the middle grate and the top grate are stainless steel wire mesh grates, and the diameter of the first through hole is larger than that of the second through hole.
[0008] Preferably, the reset assembly includes: a first spring and a top block, one side of the first spring is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the mounting groove, the side of the first spring away from the mounting groove is fixedly connected to one side of the top block, and the side of the top block away from the first spring is in contact with one side of the bottom grate, the middle grate, and the top grate.
[0009] Preferably, the engaging assembly includes: a first engaging block, a second engaging block, and two second springs. Sliding grooves are formed on opposite sides of the mounting groove away from the top block. Sliding holes are formed on one side of each of the two sliding grooves. One side of each of the two second springs is fixedly connected to the bottom of the two sliding grooves. The sides of each of the two second springs away from the sliding grooves are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the first and second engaging blocks. The sides of the first and second engaging blocks away from the two second springs are abutted. Sliding blocks are fixedly connected to the sides of both the first and second engaging blocks near the two sliding holes. Sliding holes extend from the sides of each of the two sliding blocks away from the first engaging block.
[0010] Preferably, the edges of both the first locking block and the second locking block away from the top block are rounded.
[0011] Preferably, a first sensor is provided between the heater and the bottom grate inside the curing chamber, and a second sensor is provided between the middle grate and the top grate inside the curing chamber.
[0012] Compared with related technologies, the novel steam curing equipment provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] In practical use, the curing chamber is divided into three parts by setting a bottom grate, a middle grate, and an upper grate. When water bath testing is required for concrete products, the concrete products are placed on the bottom grate. Due to the first through-hole on the bottom grate, water can pass directly through. The water is then heated by a heater, and the heated water is used to conduct the water bath test on the concrete products. When steam testing is required for concrete products, the concrete products are placed on the upper grate. The heater heats the water at the bottom of the curing chamber to generate steam. After the steam passes through the middle and upper grates, the second through-hole on the middle and upper grates allows the steam to disperse more effectively, resulting in better curing effect. This device can simultaneously achieve water bath and steam curing, increasing its applicability and improving work efficiency. Furthermore, the reset and locking components allow for quick installation and disassembly, further improving the device's working efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0022] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 ,in, Figure 1 A cross-sectional view of the internal structure of a novel steam curing device provided by this utility model; Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the overall structure of a novel steam curing device provided by this utility model; Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the bottom grate, middle grate, and top grate structure of a novel steam curing device provided by this utility model; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the internal side structure of the present invention; Figure 5 A side sectional view provided for this utility model; Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the snap-fit assembly structure provided by this utility model.
[0023] In the specific implementation process, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a novel steam curing device, comprising: a curing chamber 1, a heater 2, a bottom grate 3, a middle grate 4, and an upper grate 5. The curing chamber 1 has six mounting slots 6 located on opposite sides inside the chamber. One side of the heater 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the curing chamber 1. The bottom grate 3, middle grate 4, and upper grate 5 are sequentially and movably installed within the six mounting slots 6. The bottom grate 3 has multiple first through holes 7. The middle grate 4 and upper grate 5... Each of the six grate layers 5 is provided with multiple second through holes 8. Each of the six mounting slots 6 is provided with a reset component at the bottom. Each of the six mounting slots 6 is provided with a locking component on the side away from the reset component. The bottom grate layer 3 is a stainless steel perforated grate plate. The middle grate layer 4 and the top grate layer 5 are stainless steel wire mesh grates. The diameter of the first through hole 7 is larger than that of the second through hole 8. A first sensor 17 is provided between the heater 2 inside the curing chamber 1 and the bottom grate layer 3. A second sensor 18 is provided between the middle grate layer 4 and the top grate layer 5 inside the curing chamber 1.
[0024] It should be noted that in the above-mentioned device, the bottom temperature of the curing chamber 1 is detected by the first sensor 17 during water bath curing, and the top temperature of the curing chamber 1 is detected by the second sensor 18 during steam curing. The temperature of the heater 2 is dynamically adjusted according to the temperature requirements to ensure that the internal temperature of the device is always maintained at the required temperature. The first through hole 7 on the bottom grate 3 of the device allows water to pass through. At this time, concrete products can be placed directly on the bottom grate 3 to directly conduct water bath tests on the products. The device is equipped with a middle grate 4 and an upper grate 5, and both the middle grate 4 and the upper grate 5 are provided with a second through hole 8. The second through hole 8 allows the water vapor generated by the bottom heater 2 heating the liquid to diffuse when passing through the second through hole 8, making the internal temperature of the curing chamber 1 more uniform and improving the curing quality. In addition, the device can realize both water bath and steam curing, making the function more versatile, enhancing the applicability of the device, and speeding up the work efficiency.
[0025] The reset assembly includes a first spring 9 and a top block 10. One side of the first spring 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the mounting groove 6, and the side of the first spring 9 away from the mounting groove 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the top block 10. The side of the top block 10 away from the first spring 9 is attached to one side of the bottom grate 3, the middle grate 4, and the top grate 5. The locking assembly includes a first locking block 11, a second locking block 12, and two second springs 13. Sliding grooves 14 are provided on opposite sides of the mounting groove 6 away from the top block 10. Sliding holes 15 are provided on one side of each of the two sliding grooves 14. The two springs 13 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the two sliding grooves 14 respectively. The side of the two springs 13 away from the sliding grooves 14 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the first locking block 11 and the second locking block 12 respectively. The side of the first locking block 11 and the second locking block 12 away from the two springs 13 are attached. The side of the first locking block 11 and the second locking block 12 near the two sliding holes 15 are fixedly connected to the sliding block 16. The side of the two sliding blocks 16 away from the first locking block 11 extends out of the sliding hole 15. The edge of the first locking block 11 and the second locking block 12 away from the top block 10 is set to be arc-shaped.
[0026] It should be noted that, during the use of the above device, taking the installation of the bottom grate 3 as an example, the bottom grate 3 is pushed along the direction of the installation groove 6. At this time, the bottom grate 3 presses against the first locking block 11 and the second locking block 12. Since one side edge of the first locking block 11 and the second locking block 12 is arc-shaped, specifically as shown... Figure 6As shown, when the first locking block 11 and the second locking block 12 are pressed, they move in a relatively distant direction. At this time, the two second springs 13 are in a compressed state, pressing and pushing the bottom grate 3. When the bottom grate 3 contacts the top block 10, it continues to push the bottom grate 3, causing the first spring 9 to also be in a compressed state. When the bottom grate 3 is completely inserted into the mounting groove 6, the two second springs 13 provide elasticity to make the first locking block 11 and the second locking block 12 fit together, locking the bottom grate 3 in place. At this time, the first spring... 9 is still in a compressed state. When disassembly is required, pull the two sliding blocks 16 so that the two sliding blocks 16 respectively drive the first locking block 11 and the second locking block 12 to move away from each other. When the first locking block 11 and the second locking block 12 no longer restrict the bottom grate 3, the first spring 9 provides elastic force to pop the top block 10 and the bottom grate 3 out of the mounting groove 6. At this time, the bottom grate 3 can be directly pulled out of the mounting groove 6 to complete the disassembly. When using this device, installation and disassembly can be carried out conveniently, making the device more convenient to use and more efficient.
