Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building engineering testing technology, and in particular to a device for detecting the expansion rate of concrete expansion agents. Background Technology
[0002] Ordinary concrete often leaks due to shrinkage cracking, reducing its functionality and durability. Adding 8%-12% expansion agent to cement can create shrinkage-compensating concrete, significantly improving the crack resistance and waterproofing of concrete structures. A concrete expansion rate testing device is a specialized instrument used to measure the shape changes of concrete specimens during the hardening process. During the initial setting or hardening process, concrete materials undergo shape changes due to external environmental factors and the material's own properties. These shape changes severely affect the stability, durability, and load-bearing capacity of concrete structures, thus threatening engineering safety.
[0003] Currently, commonly used concrete expansion agent expansion rate testing devices mainly consist of a base, a positioning column fixed to the base, an adjustable column, a standard rod, and a dial indicator. During testing, the dial indicator must first be zeroed using the standard rod. Then, the embedded probe at one end of the concrete specimen is placed against the groove of the positioning column, and the embedded probe at the other end of the specimen is placed against the dial indicator probe. The change in the dial indicator reading then reflects the change in the length of the concrete specimen. Using this device to determine concrete expansion and shrinkage requires multiple repeated tests, with the average value taken as the final result, making the testing process relatively cumbersome. Utility Model Content

It should also be understood that the term “and / or” as used herein refers to and includes any or all possible combinations of one or more associated listed items.
[0033] Please refer to the following for details. Figure 1-5 A device for detecting the expansion rate of concrete expansion agent includes a body 1, an operating chamber 101 inside the body 1, a support platform 102 inside the operating chamber 101, a moving mechanism 2 on the support platform 102, a placement plate 3 for placing a test block 8 on the moving mechanism 2, the placement plate 3 can be moved under the action of the moving mechanism 2, a first laser rangefinder 4 is provided on the left and right inner side walls of the operating chamber 101, the first laser rangefinder 4 on the two side walls emits lasers in the direction of the placement plate 3, and the laser emission centers are on the same straight line, a second laser rangefinder 5 is provided on the top wall inside the operating chamber 101, the second laser rangefinder 5 emits lasers downward.
[0034] Based on the above-mentioned technical methods, a laser rangefinder is used to test test block 8, eliminating the need for repeated testing by staff. The testing procedure is simpler, and the results are more accurate. Furthermore, since there is no external force affecting test block 8, the measured shrinkage or expansion amount has minimal error.
[0035] In this embodiment, the moving mechanism 2 includes a housing 201, a motor 202, a lead screw 203, a slide rail 204, and a slider 205. The housing 201 is mounted on a support platform 102. The motor 202 is mounted at one end of the housing 201. The lead screw 203 is mounted inside the housing 201 and connected to the output shaft of the motor 202. The slide rail 204 is mounted inside the housing 201 and located on both sides of the lead screw 203. The slider 205 has screw holes adapted to the lead screw 203. The slider 205 is movably connected to the lead screw 203, and its two ends are located on the slide rail 204. When the motor 202 is started, the output shaft of the motor 202 rotates, thereby driving the lead screw 203 to rotate, which allows the slider 205 to move laterally.
[0036] In this embodiment, the moving mechanism 2 further includes a cover 206, which is mounted on the housing 201 and forms gaps between its two sides and the housing 201 for movement by the slider 205. The cover 206 can prevent external dust, metal shavings, oil stains and other foreign objects from entering the lead screw 203 and the guide rail, avoiding the accumulation of particles that could lead to increased friction or jamming. At the same time, the design of the gaps does not affect the movement of the slider 205.
[0037] In this embodiment, the slider 205 extends outward through gaps on both sides, and support bars 6 are provided on both sides of the slider 205. The height of the support bars 6 is higher than that of the cover 206. The placement plate 3 is installed on the support bars 6 to prevent the cover 206 from interfering with the movement of the placement plate 3.
[0038] In this embodiment, the placement plate 3 is provided with three baffles 301, which are respectively located on both sides and in the middle of the placement plate 3. The baffles 301 divide the placement plate 3 into two placement positions. The number of the first laser rangefinder 4 and the second laser rangefinder 5 is also two, corresponding to the number of placement positions. In this way, two test blocks 8 can be tested simultaneously, improving the testing efficiency.
[0039] In this embodiment, the placement plate 3 has notches 302 at both ends. The design of the notches 302 makes it convenient for users to remove the test block 8 from the placement plate 3.
[0040] In this embodiment, the main control board (located inside the main body 1 and not shown) and the display 103 are provided on the main body 1. The main control board is electrically connected to the first laser rangefinder 4, the second laser rangefinder 5, the motor 202 and the display 103. The main control board integrates a processor. The first laser rangefinder 4 and the second laser rangefinder 5 convert and analyze the collected data and display it on the display 103 for easy observation by the user.
[0041] In this embodiment, a pressure switch 7 is provided on the inner wall of the operating chamber 101. The pressure switch 7 is electrically connected to the main control board. A trigger rod 303 is provided on the placement plate 3, and the center of the trigger rod 303 and the pressure switch 7 are on the same straight line. Thus, when the placement plate 3 moves to the detection position (when the test block 8 is aligned with the first laser rangefinder 4 and the second laser rangefinder 5), the trigger rod 303 will touch the pressure switch 7. The pressure switch 7 transmits a signal to control the motor 202 to stop working, and the first laser rangefinder 4 and the second laser rangefinder 5 work to detect the test block 8.
[0042] This utility model relates to a device for detecting the expansion rate of concrete expansion agents. Its working principle is explained in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:
[0043] Initially, the placement plate 3 is located on the outermost side of the machine body 1. The user can place the test block 8 on the placement plate 3 for the first test. The motor 202 is started, and its output shaft rotates, driving the lead screw 203 to rotate, causing the slider 205 to move inwards into the machine body 1. When the trigger rod 303 touches the pressure switch 7, the test block 8 is aligned with the first laser rangefinder 4 and the second laser rangefinder 5. At this point, the motor 202 stops working, the placement plate 3 no longer moves, and simultaneously the first laser rangefinder 4 and the second laser rangefinder 5 emit lasers. The first laser rangefinder 4 on both sides emits lasers, obtaining data L1 and L2 respectively. For L2, the first laser rangefinder 4 and the second laser rangefinder 5 emit lasers to obtain data L3; start motor 202 to drive test block 8 back to the outermost side of the machine body 1, so that the user can remove test block 8 and perform maintenance on test block 8. After maintenance for a period of time, a second test is performed; repeat the above test steps, the first laser rangefinder 4 on both sides emits lasers to obtain data L4 and L5 respectively, the first laser rangefinder 4 and the second laser rangefinder 5 emit lasers to obtain data L6; calculate the difference between (L1+L2) and (L4+L5), L3 and L6, determine the expansion rate, and the final result is displayed on display 103.
[0044] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
