Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of concrete cooling water control technology, specifically to a remote control system for concrete cooling water. Background Technology

[0002] Practice has shown that temperature control and crack prevention in large-volume concrete is a complex systems engineering problem during construction, making it a crucial issue. It is well known that pumped concrete is commonly used in pumping stations, sluice gates, and ship locks. Due to the rapid temperature rise and hydration heat of pumped concrete, the peak temperature of these concrete structures often exceeds 50℃, sometimes even reaching 70℃. To control the maximum temperature of the pouring chamber, low-temperature water cooling is commonly used. However, water cooling is a double-edged sword; while it can quickly lower the temperature, excessively rapid cooling can still easily cause concrete cracking. Therefore, the "Technical Specification for Temperature Measurement and Control of Large-Volume Concrete" (GB / T 51028-2015) stipulates that the difference between the inlet water temperature and the maximum concrete temperature should be controlled at 15~25℃.

[0003] As mentioned earlier, since the peak temperature of large-volume pumped concrete often exceeds 50℃ or even reaches 70℃, when using water cooling, the inlet water temperature must be adjusted in a timely manner based on the current measured temperature of the pouring chamber and the difference between the specified inlet water temperature and the maximum concrete temperature (15~25℃). For example, initially, when the maximum concrete temperature is below 30℃, the inlet water temperature can be below 15℃; later, when the maximum concrete temperature reaches above 60℃, the inlet water temperature should be above 35℃. Practice shows that using self-circulating water is an economical and effective water temperature control measure. As the hydration heat rises, the heat carried by the cooling water is used to increase the water temperature in the tank, thereby controlling the difference between the inlet water temperature and the maximum concrete temperature to meet the specifications. However, when using self-circulating water for cooling, the water temperature in the tank will gradually rise, causing the difference between the inlet water temperature and the maximum concrete temperature to gradually decrease, thus losing its cooling effect. Therefore, to achieve optimal cooling, it is necessary to combine the measured maximum temperature of the pouring chamber, the inlet water temperature, and the temperature difference between them, and promptly replace a portion of the water in the tank with a certain volume of low-temperature water to regulate the water temperature. To reasonably regulate the water temperature for concrete crack prevention, it is often necessary to assign dedicated personnel to manage the water cooling. Practice shows that manually regulating the water tank temperature is time-consuming and labor-intensive, especially at night, in the early morning, or during the midday heat, making on-site manual temperature control extremely inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the problems of low efficiency and high workload in manually controlling cooling water for large-volume pumped concrete, this utility model provides a remote control system for concrete cooling water. The system includes a wireless temperature acquisition device for collecting the internal temperature of the pouring chamber, a water exchange device (water tank) for adjusting the water temperature, and a remote control device for controlling the water exchange. By combining the measured temperature values ​​collected inside the large-volume pumped concrete pouring chamber, the system controls the start and stop of the water pump in the water exchange device in real time, thereby achieving intelligent monitoring of the internal temperature of the concrete and remote control of the water supply scheme.

Detailed Implementation

[0037] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0038] This utility model relates to a remote control system for concrete cooling water. The working principle is as follows:

[0039] The first step is to select a typical location in the pouring chamber where temperature control of large-volume concrete is required, install a temperature probe 26, connect and turn on the signal transmitter 27, and ensure smooth and stable signal transmission between the signal transmitter 27 and the signal receiver 28.

[0040] The second step is to connect the water supply pump P1 to the cooling water inlet main pipe 30, and place the water supply pump P1 and the drain pump P2 in the water temperature regulating tank 29 (5m). 3Place the inlet pump P3 in the low-temperature water body and place the water exchange device at a suitable elevation to ensure that the water supply pump P1 operates normally.

[0041] The third step is to connect the drain pump P2 and water supply pump P1 in the water exchange device to the electrical control device, fix the electrical control device in a nearby location, and take measures to prevent rain and moisture.

[0042] The fourth step is to connect the electronic control device to the Peanut Shell software platform on the computer to obtain the current water temperature and adjust the water temperature of the water tank to 29. Then, combined with the temperature data on the cloud platform, the temperature control command is issued as needed: drain water or extract low-temperature water.

[0043] Fifth, after the temperature control of this batch of large-volume concrete is completed, remove the electrical control device and store it properly so that it can be used in the water supply control of the next batch of large-volume concrete.

[0044] The features of this utility model of a remote control system for concrete cooling water are as follows:

[0045] 1. Real-time monitoring of the internal temperature of concrete via wireless temperature acquisition devices and remote control of water exchange devices (such as water pump start-up and shutdown) significantly reduces workload, especially solving the problem of inconvenient on-site control at night or during high-temperature periods.

[0046] 2. The control strategy of combining self-circulating water heating and low-temperature water replacement is adopted, which not only meets the standard temperature difference (15~25℃) requirements, but also significantly improves the water cooling efficiency.

[0047] 3. The electrical control unit adopts a layered mounting plate design, with separate layouts for high-voltage and low-voltage modules, which helps reduce signal interference. The top and bottom openings of the enclosure ensure both heat dissipation and ease of external wiring.

[0048] 4. The electrical control device and the water exchange device are easily disassembled and separated, and can be repeatedly applied to different concrete pouring chambers.

[0049] This utility model discloses a remote control system for concrete cooling water, which can be used not only in large-volume concrete cooling systems, but also extended to any scenario that requires dynamic adjustment of fluid (water / liquid) temperature or flow rate, such as agriculture (adjusting irrigation water temperature) and industrial production (temperature control of chemical reactors).
