Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of concrete material performance testing technology, specifically to a concrete durability testing device with controllable variables. Background Technology

[0002] Carbonation of concrete can cause depassivation and corrosion of steel bars, leading to a series of adverse consequences such as reduced cross-sectional area of ​​steel bars, weakened bond between concrete and steel bars, and cracking of the concrete cover. Ultimately, this reduces the durability of concrete structures and shortens their service life.

[0003] Adding an appropriate amount of expansive agent has become an effective measure to improve the durability of concrete. Compared with traditional expansive agents, MgO expansive agents have advantages such as low hydration water demand, stable hydration products, and adjustable expansion performance. However, existing research on the influence of MgO on concrete durability is not systematic and in-depth enough. Therefore, those skilled in the art have taken MgO concrete of three strength grades (C30, C45, and C60) as research objects and systematically studied the carbonation resistance, compressive strength, carbonation shrinkage compensation, and chloride ion penetration resistance of MgO concrete under carbonation conditions. In order to more scientifically and accurately compare the carbonation rate of MgO concrete of different strength grades under the same carbonation environment, it is necessary to construct multiple sets of controllable variable experiments with concrete strength grade as the variable. Since the reinforced concrete components that closely resemble actual buildings are relatively large in size, it is necessary to periodically conduct cross-sectional observations and record data on reinforced concrete columns, and a constant high concentration of carbon dioxide is required in the experimental space. Traditional experimental equipment used for building materials cannot meet the practical needs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a concrete durability testing device with controllable variables to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a controllable variable concrete durability testing device, comprising a sealed chamber, a moving drive assembly, a guide wheel seat, a sealing component, a moving cutting assembly, and a carbon dioxide concentration control system.

[0010] Preferably, the sealing component consists of a fixed frame and barrier bristles. The fixed frame is fixedly installed inside the sealing chamber, and the barrier bristles are disposed inside the fixed frame. This arrangement allows the barrier bristles to tightly abut against the outer wall of the reinforced concrete column, blocking the flow of gas inside and outside the sealing chamber and ensuring the carbon dioxide concentration inside the sealing chamber.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-7This utility model provides a technical solution: a controllable variable concrete durability testing device, including a sealed chamber 1, a moving drive assembly 2, a guide wheel seat 4, a sealing component 5, a moving cutting assembly 6, and a carbon dioxide concentration control system 7. The moving drive assembly 2 is located inside the sealed chamber 1, which achieves a basically sealed operating state. Carbon dioxide gas is filled inside to achieve and maintain a stable carbon dioxide concentration environment, enabling the reinforced concrete column 3 inside the sealed chamber 1 to rapidly carbonize and shorten the experimental cycle. The moving drive assembly 2 contains the reinforced concrete column 3, which has multiple parallel reinforcing bars embedded inside. The reinforcing bars are spirally and equidistantly distributed on the end face of the column, with the distance between the side wall of each reinforcing bar and the outer wall of the reinforced concrete column 3 increasing sequentially.

The fixed seat 401 is fixedly installed inside the sealed chamber 1. A semi-circular groove is provided on the top of the fixed seat 401. Guide wheels 402 are arranged circumferentially on the inner wall of the semi-circular groove.

The fixed frame 501 is fixedly installed inside the sealed chamber 1. The barrier brush 502 is set inside the fixed frame 501. This arrangement allows the barrier brush to tightly abut against the outer wall of the reinforced concrete column 3, blocking the flow of gas inside and outside the sealed chamber 1 and ensuring the carbon dioxide concentration inside the sealed chamber 1. The moving cutting component 6 is set outside the sealed chamber 1. The carbon dioxide concentration control system 7 is set outside the sealed chamber 1.

[0027] The moving drive assembly 2 consists of a bearing housing 201, a lead screw 202, a nut seat 203, a handwheel 204, a slide rail 205, a slider 206, a lower clamping plate 207, a bolt 208, and an upper clamping plate 209.

A driven wheel is fixedly installed on the surface of the rotating shaft 606. The drive wheel, the driven wheel, and the transmission belt 604 are connected by a transmission. When the motor 603 is started, the rotating shaft 606 drives the saw blade 607 to rotate under the action of the drive wheel, the driven wheel, and the transmission belt 604. The saw blade 607 is fixedly installed on the side of the rotating shaft 606.

[0029] The carbon dioxide concentration control system 7 consists of a carbon dioxide concentration sensor 701, a programmable controller 702, a gas delivery pipe 703, an electrically controlled valve 704, and a carbon dioxide storage tank 705.

The gas delivery pipe 703 is installed on the side of the sealed chamber 1. The electrically controlled valve 704 is installed on the surface of the gas delivery pipe 703. The output terminal of the programmable controller 702 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the electrically controlled valve 704. The carbon dioxide concentration sensor 701 monitors the carbon dioxide concentration in real time and transmits the data to the programmable controller 702. When the carbon dioxide concentration is lower than the start threshold, the electrically controlled valve 704 is opened to add carbon dioxide. When the concentration is higher than the stop threshold, the electrically controlled valve 704 is closed to achieve closed-loop control of the carbon dioxide concentration. The carbon dioxide storage tank 705 is installed on the side of the gas delivery pipe 703.

[0030] In use, multiple sets of reinforced concrete columns 3 of different strength grades are arranged side by side, with the rear ends of the reinforced concrete columns 3 fixedly clamped between the lower clamping plate 207 and the upper clamping plate 209, and the front ends of the reinforced concrete columns 3 placed on the guide wheel 402. The front ends of the reinforced concrete columns 3 extend out of the sealed chamber 1 through the barrier brush 502. The carbon dioxide concentration inside the sealed chamber 1 can be controlled by the carbon dioxide concentration control system 7. By turning the handwheel 204, under the guidance of the slide rail 205 and the slider 206, the nut seat 203 can be moved on the surface of the lead screw 202. The movement causes the lower clamping plate 207, bolt 208, and upper clamping plate 209 to move synchronously, which in turn drives the front end of each group of reinforced concrete columns 3 to extend horizontally. The motor 603 is started, and under the action of the driving wheel, driven wheel, and transmission belt 604, the rotating shaft 606 drives the saw blade 607 to rotate, pushing the trolley 602 to move laterally. This allows a small section of the front end of each group of reinforced concrete columns 3 to be sawed off in sequence, thus forming a new cut surface. The amount of rusted steel bars in the cut surface can be observed, and the carbonization of reinforced concrete columns 3 of different strength grades can be recorded and compared to analyze indicators such as carbonization resistance.
