Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bridge engineering technology, specifically to a curing device for concrete bridge piers. Background Technology
[0002] If the ambient humidity of the concrete pier after pouring is lower than the internal humidity of the concrete, the remaining moisture evaporation channels and pores inside the concrete will cause the surface to become loose. Poor curing continuity and alternating wet and dry conditions on the concrete surface, especially when the concrete strength is low, will lead to surface shrinkage and temperature cracks due to repeated temperature and humidity changes. During the strength growth period, the concrete surface is most affected by external factors, resulting in permanent loss of concrete strength within a certain range. Therefore, concrete piers need to be carefully cured after pouring to ensure the concrete's impermeability, durability, and other indicators. Currently, direct water spraying is widely used for curing, and the equipment used in the water spraying process is called concrete pier curing equipment.
[0003] The existing technology has the following shortcomings: In the prior art, application number 201810433882.9 proposes a concrete bridge pier curing device, which includes a bridge pier, characterized in that it also includes: curing cloth, control system, water storage tank, and warm air blower; it can automatically maintain the air humidity and temperature around the bridge pier to ensure the curing quality of the bridge pier.
[0004] The aforementioned equipment, including the atomizing nozzles and water valves, requires electricity and is connected to the electrical control system. Since there are many atomizing nozzles and water valves in the fabric, they are generally connected in series before being connected to the electrical control system. This structure requires a lot of circuit connections within the fabric. Under long-term use, the circuits are easily corroded by moisture, which can damage the circuit system and affect the actual use effect. At the same time, the installation process requires a lot of manpower, and the equipment needs to be disassembled and removed from the bridge piers after use, making the operation cumbersome. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a concrete bridge pier curing device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a concrete bridge pier curing device, comprising a main frame, a secondary frame, and a bridge pier, wherein a hydraulic rod is provided between the main frame and the secondary frame, movable wheels are provided on both sides of the bottom of the main frame, universal wheels are provided at both ends of the bottom of the main frame, a first water inlet pipe is provided at one end of the main frame, a second water inlet pipe is provided at the other end of the main frame, and an atomizing nozzle is provided on the inner side of the main frame;

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a concrete bridge pier curing device, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. This concrete bridge pier curing equipment consists of a main frame, a secondary frame, a water storage chamber, a first water inlet pipe, a second water inlet pipe, and atomizing nozzles. After the bridge pier is placed within the main and secondary frames, the first and second water inlet pipes are connected to an external water source. By controlling the extension of the hydraulic rod, the secondary frame can be raised.

The equipment itself does not require excessive involvement of the electrical system, avoiding the impact of a humid environment on the equipment's operation.
[0016] 2. This concrete bridge pier curing equipment consists of a main frame, a flipping end, a secondary frame, hydraulic rods, moving wheels, and casters. The flipping ends on the main and secondary frames flip outwards, and a tractor unit drives the device forward, positioning the bridge pier within the main and secondary frames. By controlling the extension of the hydraulic rods, the secondary frame can be raised, completing the erection. After the bridge pier curing is completed, the connection between the first and second water inlet pipes and the external water source is disconnected. The hydraulic rods are then retracted via the vehicle-mounted platform hydraulic pump station. The flipping end is then opened, and the connection between the hydraulic rods and the vehicle-mounted platform hydraulic pump station is disconnected, allowing the equipment to be towed away by a tractor unit. The erection and removal of the equipment from the bridge pier requires minimal human intervention, making operation more convenient. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 In this embodiment: a concrete bridge pier curing device includes a main frame 1, a secondary frame 2, and a bridge pier 9. A hydraulic rod 3 is provided between the main frame 1 and the secondary frame 2. Movable wheels 4 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the main frame 1. Universal wheels 5 are provided at both ends of the bottom of the main frame 1. A first water inlet pipe 6 is provided at one end of the main frame 1. A second water inlet pipe 7 is provided at the other end of the main frame 1. Atomizing nozzles 8 are provided on the inner side of the main frame 1.
[0024] The hydraulic rod 3 allows for easy control of the lifting and lowering of the sub-frame 2, while the casters 4 and swivel casters 5 facilitate the overall movement of the equipment.
[0025] The main frame 1 includes a flip end 101, a strong magnet 102, and a water storage cavity 103. The flip end 101 is hinged to one end of the main frame 1. A strong magnet 102 is provided at the end of the main frame 1 corresponding to the position of the flip end 101. A water storage cavity 103 is opened inside the main frame 1.
[0026] The water source can be evenly distributed to the corresponding atomizing nozzles 8 through the water storage chamber 103.
[0027] In this embodiment, there are four sets of sub-frames 2. The bottom set of sub-frames 2 is fixedly connected to the main frame 1 with hydraulic rods 3. The sub-frames 2 are fixedly connected with the same hydraulic rods 3. The flip end 101 is specifically made of magnetic metal casting. A strong magnet 102 is fixedly installed at one end of the main frame 1 and there is magnetic attraction between it and the flip end 101. Water storage chambers 103 are opened inside the flip end 101 and the main frame 1.
[0028] Specifically, the water source can be applied to the outside of the bridge pier 9 through the corresponding atomizing nozzle 8 via the sub-frame 2, and the stability between the corresponding flip end 101 and the main frame 1 and sub-frame 2 can be ensured by the strong magnet 102.
[0029] In this embodiment, the first water inlet pipe 6 is fixedly installed on the outside of the flip end 101 and communicates with the corresponding water storage chamber 103. The second water inlet pipe 7 is fixedly installed at the end of the main frame 1 and communicates with the corresponding water storage chamber 103. The atomizing nozzle 8 is fixedly installed on the inside of the main frame 1 and the inside of the flip end 101. The atomizing nozzle 8 communicates with the water storage chamber 103. The sub-frame 2 and the main frame 1 have the same structure except for the moving wheel 4 and the universal wheel 5. The first water inlet pipe 6 and the second water inlet pipe 7 are both connected to the external water source.
[0030] Specifically, water can be supplied to the water storage chamber 103 in the corresponding flip end 101 through the first water inlet pipe 6, and water can be supplied to the water storage chambers 103 in the main frame 1 and the secondary frame 2 through the corresponding second water inlet pipe 7, and the water can be sprayed out in the form of water mist under the action of water pressure through the atomizing nozzle 8.
[0031] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: In actual use, a tractor unit, in conjunction with a towing rod, moves the entire device. The tractor unit is equipped with a vehicle-mounted platform hydraulic pump station. When the device moves near the pier 9, the flipping ends 101 on the main frame 1 and the sub-frame 2 are flipped outwards, making the front ends of the main frame 1 and the sub-frame 2 open. The device is then moved forward by the tractor unit until the pier 9 is inside the main frame 1 and the sub-frame 2. At this point, the flipping ends 101 are reset, and the first water inlet pipe 6 and the second water inlet pipe 7 are connected to an external water source. The connecting end of the hydraulic rod 3 is connected to the vehicle-mounted platform hydraulic pump station on the tractor unit. The vehicle-mounted platform hydraulic pump station controls the extension of the hydraulic rod 3, which raises the sub-frame 2, thereby evenly distributing the water. The water is evenly distributed on the outside of the bridge pier 9. External water sources enter the water storage chamber 103 from the first water inlet pipe 6 and the second water inlet pipe 7 respectively. Under the action of water pressure, the water is sprayed out from the atomizing nozzle 8 to form a water mist that acts on the outside of the bridge pier 9 to achieve the curing effect. During the process, the equipment itself does not require much involvement of the electrical system, avoiding the impact of the humid environment on the operation of the equipment. After the bridge pier 9 is cured, the connection between the first water inlet pipe 6 and the second water inlet pipe 7 and the external water source can be directly disconnected. The hydraulic rod 3 is controlled to retract by the hydraulic pump station of the vehicle platform, the flip end 101 is opened and the connection between the hydraulic rod 3 and the hydraulic pump station of the vehicle platform is disconnected, and the equipment can be pulled away by a tow vehicle. The process of setting up and removing the equipment from the bridge pier 9 does not require much human intervention, making the operation more convenient.
[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
