Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of concrete strength testing equipment for gravity concrete embankments. Background Technology

[0002] In the construction and maintenance of gravity concrete dams, it is necessary to effectively test the compressive strength of concrete. Among them, rebound testing is a commonly used non-destructive testing method that is widely used in assessing the compressive strength of concrete.

[0003] The method for testing concrete with a rebound hammer is as follows: First, draw multiple rows and columns of squares on the surface of the concrete dam to be tested, for example, 5*5 squares. Then, turn on the rebound hammer, use the impact rod to press against the concrete surface, and ensure that the instrument axis of the rebound hammer is always perpendicular to the concrete surface within one square, as centered as possible. Then, slowly and evenly apply pressure. After the impact hammer releases its hook and impacts the impact rod, the impact hammer rebounds, causing the pointer to move backward to a certain position. When the indication line on the pointer block shows a certain value on the scale, this is the rebound value, and it is recorded. Then, the rebound test is performed on the next square, and the data is recorded, until 25 squares have been tested. Finally, the three largest and three smallest values ​​are removed, and the average of the remaining values ​​is taken. Combined with the carbonation depth data, the corresponding concrete strength value is found in the concrete rebound hammer strength conversion table, which is the concrete strength at that point. This is used to determine whether the concrete strength of the dam meets the design strength. As can be seen, the steps are relatively cumbersome, and the instrument axis of the rebound hammer may sometimes be tilted, affecting the accuracy of the measurement. To address this issue, some organizations have developed a multi-point concrete strength testing device.

[0004] For example, Chinese patent document CN119688511A discloses a concrete strength testing device. This device inserts the top end face of a rebound hammer into a mounting frame, and then a buffer spring resets the top block, causing it to move upwards. The rebound hammer is fixed in the mounting frame via the end face of the top block, allowing four rebound hammers to simultaneously test the concrete strength of highway bridges, assisting workers in testing the concrete strength of highway bridges and improving the efficiency of highway bridge testing. However, because the four rebound hammers are fired simultaneously, interference exists between them, affecting the accuracy of the data. Utility Model Content

[0030] This embodiment will be described in conjunction with the appendix to the instruction manual. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3 This paper provides a detailed explanation of the structure, principle, and usage of the strength rebound testing device for water conservancy dams.

[0031] This device includes a triangular base 100, a display board 200, a cross slide 300, a guide rod assembly 400, a rebound hammer fixing plate 500, and a rebound hammer 600. The triangular base 100 is made of aluminum alloy profile and has a 90-degree angle. One base plate 110 of the triangular base is attached to the concrete surface, while the other vertical plate 120 is set perpendicular to the concrete surface.

[0032] Furthermore, a triangular rib plate 130 is welded and installed within the 90-degree angle to form a stable triangular structure. This triangular rib plate is used to improve the overall rigidity of the triangular base.

[0033] Furthermore, an elongated hole 140 is provided on the base plate of the triangular base, which is used to fix the device to the concrete dam body 00 to be tested by means of steel nails.

[0034] The display panel 200 is a thin metal sheet or a thin polymer plastic sheet. It is positioned opposite the base plate and perpendicular to the vertical panel, forming a T-shaped structure. (See reference.) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The display panel is a thin sheet with square holes 210 arranged in rows and columns, for example, 5*5 square holes, which are perforated. In the testing state, the display panel is attached to the surface of the concrete embankment to be tested.

[0035] Furthermore, the 25 square holes in the display board are numbered to facilitate the recording of test data. During testing, the test is carried out in order of number to prevent missed tests.

[0036] A cross slide 300 is composed of a pair of vertically arranged linear slide rail assemblies and a pair of vertically arranged linear slide rail assemblies. The cross slide is mounted on the vertical plate of a triangular base and faces one side of the display panel. Specifically, the cross slide 300 includes a horizontal slide rail assembly 310, a horizontal slide plate 320, a vertical slide rail assembly 330, and a vertical slide plate 340. The horizontal slide plate 320 is movably mounted on the vertical plate via a pair of horizontal slide rail assemblies, giving it a horizontal sliding tendency relative to the triangular base. The vertical slide plate 340 is mounted on the horizontal slide plate via vertical slide rail assemblies, giving it a vertical sliding tendency relative to the triangular base.

[0037] The guide rod assemblies 400 consist of two pairs arranged parallel to each other. Each assembly comprises two circular guide rods 410 (upper and lower) and a connecting rod 420 connecting the two guide rods. The connecting rod 420 is located on the outer side of the guide rods and is locked in place using a locking nut 430. The inner ends of the two guide rods 410 are fixed to the vertical slide plate via circular flanges 440 and fastening screws, ensuring the fixed guide rods are perpendicular to the vertical slide plate. The guide rod assemblies 400 are used for mounting the rebound hammer fixing plate.

[0038] The rebound hammer fixing plate 500 is a vertical plate. Four sliding sleeves 510 are fixedly installed in the rebound hammer fixing plate 500. The sliding sleeves are in sliding engagement with the guide rods in the guide rod assembly. Under the action of pushing force, the rebound hammer fixing plate 500 can slide along the length of the guide rod. The rebound hammer 600 is fixed to the rebound hammer fixing plate by steel hoops. The arc part of the steel hoop 610 hugs the body of the rebound hammer and is fixed with fastening screws. After fixing, the rebound hammer is set vertically and forms a 90-degree angle with the display plate.

[0039] Furthermore, a small magnet 520 is provided at the contact surface between the rebound spring fixing plate and the vertical slide plate. That is, a small magnet is provided on the contact surface of the rebound spring fixing plate and the vertical slide plate respectively. When the gap between the rebound spring fixing plate and the vertical slide plate is less than 2 cm, the rebound spring fixing plate and the vertical slide plate can be automatically attached. This is of positive significance for storage in non-use state.

[0040] The method of using this device is as follows:

[0041] First, place the device on the surface of the concrete dam to be tested. For dams with an angle less than 45°, fix it by pressing down on the triangular base with one foot. Arrange the display board so that it is flat and forms multiple rows and columns of squares on the concrete surface. Then, turn on the rebound hammer and push the rebound hammer and fixing plate outward. Due to the flexibility of the cross slide, move the rebound hammer to the first square. Then, use the impact rod to press against the concrete surface in the first square and slowly and evenly apply pressure. After the impact hammer disengages and impacts the impact rod, the impact hammer rebounds and moves the pointer backward to a certain position. When the indication line on the pointer block shows a certain value on the scale, this is the rebound value. Record this data. Then, adjust the position of the rebound hammer to perform rebound testing on the next square and record the data until 25 squares have been tested. Finally, remove the three largest and three smallest values, take the average of the remaining values, and find the corresponding concrete strength value in the concrete rebound hammer strength conversion table in combination with the carbonation depth data. This is the concrete strength at that location.

[0042] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Without departing from the spirit of the present utility model, all modifications and improvements to the present utility model by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
