Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a vibratory joint cutter for roller-compacted concrete. Background Technology

[0002] The main purpose of cutting grooves (also known as sawing or slitting) after roller-compacted concrete (RCC) construction is to control the location and shape of cracks, and to prevent irregular cracks from forming in the concrete due to temperature changes, drying shrinkage, or load, thereby affecting the integrity and durability of the structure. The specific purpose and principle are as follows:

[0003] 1. The core objective is to induce cracks to occur at predetermined locations. By pre-cutting, regular "artificial cracks" are formed at weak points in the concrete, guiding the cracks to spread along the cut direction and avoiding random cracking (such as alligator cracking, diagonal cracking, etc.).

[0004] 2. Releasing internal stress: During the hardening process of roller-compacted concrete, tensile stress is generated due to temperature shrinkage, drying shrinkage, or load. Cutting can release stress and reduce internal damage.

[0005] The timing for cutting the joint is when the concrete has reached a certain strength but has not fully hardened (generally within 12 to 48 hours after construction).

[0006] In the existing technology, the cutting is done manually because the entry of large equipment will cause surface deformation of the concrete, while manual cutting does not have this problem.

[0007] However, when cutting slits manually, it is impossible to guarantee the neatness of two adjacent slits. Furthermore, the existing slit cutting method is mainly based on sawing. When sawing, the direction of the cutting machine cannot be guaranteed to be straight, resulting in a curved and non-straight slit.

[0008] Based on the above problems, we designed a simple-to-operate, alignable cutter for roller-compacted concrete. Utility Model Content

[0009] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a simple-to-operate, alignable, vibratory cutter for compacted concrete.

[0010] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0011] A vibratory joint cutter for roller-compacted concrete includes a plate vibrator and further includes,

[0012] The base structure, wherein the plate vibrator is installed on top of the base structure.

[0013] A cutting blade structure is mounted on the base structure, and the position of the cutting blade structure can be adjusted along the width direction of the base structure.

[0014] Preferably, the base structure includes a base plate, which is rectangular and has grooves machined in two width directions. A mounting seat is fixed on the top of the base plate, and the lower part of the mounting seat is a through cavity. The flat vibrator is installed on the top of the mounting seat, and the cutter structure slides and adjusts along the grooves. Two vertical rods are fixed on the top of the mounting seat, and a hand handle is installed between the tops of the two vertical rods.

[0015] Preferably, the cutting structure includes two interlocking cutting plates. A locking block is provided at the top outer end of each cutting plate. The locking block has a right-angled groove that fits into the base plate. A locking strip is machined on the vertical surface of the right-angled groove. The locking strip cooperates with the groove and can slide along the groove. A through mounting hole is provided on the side of the locking block. A tensioning unit is installed between the two locking blocks. The tensioning unit passes through the mounting hole and through the through cavity. After the locking blocks on both sides are installed, the upper end surface of the cutting plate contacts the bottom surface of the base plate, so that the vibration force generated by the plate vibrator is transmitted to the cutting plate through the base plate.

[0016] Preferably, the lower end of the cutting plate has a blade.

[0017] Preferably, a positioning post is provided at the splicing surface of one of the cutting blades, and a positioning hole for inserting the positioning post is provided at the splicing surface of the other cutting blade.

[0018] Preferably, the tensioning unit includes a pull rod and nuts that fit at both ends of the pull rod. The two ends of the pull rod pass through mounting holes on both sides, and the nuts are fitted after the pull rod passes through the mounting holes. After the nuts are tightened, they press down the locking block.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] One advantage is that the device is small in size and easy for workers to operate by hand.

[0021] Secondly, the position of the cutting blade structure is adjustable, making it convenient to perform slit cutting operations on locations close to the wall.

[0022] Thirdly, the cutting structure is detachable. After removal, this device can be used as a regular plate vibrator, making it more practical.

[0023] Fourthly, during the second cut, the cutting structure partially inserts into the previously made slit, resulting in a higher degree of neatness in the final slit.

[0024] Fifthly, the straight cutting blade structure can produce a straight cut. Attached Figure Description

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0038] See Figure 1 The roller-compacted concrete vibratory joint cutter shown includes a plate vibrator 3, and also includes,

[0039] The base structure 1, the plate vibrator 3 is installed on the top of the base structure 1.

[0040] The cutter structure 2 is mounted on the base structure 1 and its position can be adjusted along the width direction of the base structure 1.

[0041] The plate vibrator is a 0.75KW attached plate vibrator 10, weighing 8.6kg, with a vibration force of up to 350kg.

[0042] The plate vibrator is powered by 380V AC. After connecting the power supply and turning on the control switch, the roller-compacted concrete vibratory cutter can start working. Under the excitation force of the plate vibrator, the cutter structure 2 smoothly cuts into the roller-compacted concrete to complete the cutting work.

[0043] See Figure 4 As shown, after removing the cutter structure 2, this device can be used as a conventional flat plate vibration device.

[0044] See Figure 5As shown, the position of the cutter structure 2 can be relatively slidable to accommodate the cutting needs near the wall.

[0045] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the base structure 1 includes a base plate 11, which is rectangular. Grooves 12 are machined in two width directions of the base plate 11. A mounting seat 13 is fixed on the top of the base plate 11. The lower part of the mounting seat 13 is a through cavity. The flat vibrator 3 is installed on the top of the mounting seat 13. The cutter structure 2 slides and adjusts along the grooves 12. A vertical rod 14 is fixed on the top of the mounting seat 13. Two vertical rods 14 are arranged in parallel. A hand handle 15 is installed between the tops of the two vertical rods 14.

[0046] The base plate 11 and the mounting base 13 are welded structures and are both made of steel.

[0047] The vertical rod 14 is fixed to the mounting base 13 by screws or welding. In this embodiment, screws are used.

[0048] The hand handle 15 is connected to the vertical bars 14 on both sides by welding.

[0049] The flat vibrator 3 is fixed to the mounting base 13 with bolts.

[0050] In the above technical solution, the plate vibrator 3 is mounted on the mounting base 13 to facilitate the installation of the cutter structure 2.

[0051] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cutter structure 2 includes two cutter plates 21 spliced ​​together. A locking block 22 is provided at the top outer end of each cutter plate 21. The locking block 22 has a right-angle groove 23 that fits the base plate 11. A locking strip 24 is machined on the vertical surface of the right-angle groove 23. The locking strip 24 cooperates with the groove 12 and can slide along the groove 12. A through mounting hole 25 is provided on the side of the locking block 22. A tensioning unit is installed between the two locking blocks 22. The tensioning unit passes through the mounting hole 25 and passes through the through cavity. After the locking blocks 22 on both sides are installed, the upper end surface of the cutter plate 21 contacts the bottom surface of the base plate 11, so that the vibration force generated by the plate vibrator 3 is transmitted to the cutter plate 21 through the base plate 11.

[0052] The cutting plate 21 is made of a 5mm thick steel plate.

[0053] The lower end of the cutting plate 21 has a blade 211.

[0054] The sharp corner of blade 211 is transitioned with a small rounded arc.

[0055] In the above technical solution, two cutting plates 21 are spliced ​​together, which facilitates the fitting of the base plate 11 after assembly.

[0056] The tensioning unit can tighten the locking blocks 22 on both sides, so that the two cutting plates 21 can be spliced ​​together.

[0057] Furthermore, the locking block 22 can slide along the groove to facilitate the position adjustment of the cutter plate 21.

[0058] The upper end face of the cutter plate 21 contacts the bottom of the base plate 11 to facilitate the transmission of vibration force.

[0059] See Figure 3 As shown, a positioning post 212 is provided at the splicing surface of one of the cutting blades 21, and a positioning hole 213 for inserting the positioning post 212 is provided at the splicing surface of the other cutting blade 21.

[0060] This technical solution can increase the alignment and neatness of the two cutting plates 21 after they are spliced ​​together.

[0061] See Figure 2 As shown, the tensioning unit includes a pull rod 261 and nuts 262 that fit at both ends of the pull rod 261. The two ends of the pull rod 261 pass through the mounting holes 25 on both sides respectively. After the pull rod 261 passes through the mounting holes 25, the nuts 262 are fitted. After the nuts 262 are locked, they press down the locking block 22.

[0062] The above technical solution is relatively simple to implement. It only requires loosening the nut 262 to slide and adjust the position of the locking block 22. After the adjustment is completed, the nut 262 is then tightened.
