Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of concrete curing, and in particular to a curing box for concrete blocks. Background Technology
[0002] Curing concrete blocks is a crucial step in ensuring they reach their design strength, durability, and crack resistance. The curing period for concrete is generally at least 7 days, and for important projects or large-volume concrete, it may require more than 14 days. Curing should begin immediately after pouring and initial setting (approximately 1-2 hours) to prevent surface moisture evaporation.
[0003] In existing technology, during the curing phase, operators are unaware of the type of concrete blocks in each drawer, causing significant inconvenience. Furthermore, sampling the concrete blocks in the curing chamber requires pulling the chamber containing the test blocks; however, this movement causes water to slosh around and spill out. Standard test water samples need to be at least 5mm deeper than the concrete test blocks, making splashing during movement highly likely. Utility Model Content
[0004] To facilitate the curing of concrete test blocks by operators, this application provides a curing box for concrete blocks.
[0005] The technical solution for a curing box for concrete blocks provided in this application is as follows:
[0006] A curing box for concrete blocks includes a curing box body, a support frame, and curing boxes. The support frame is disposed in the curing box body and includes several connecting horizontal plates and several connecting vertical plates. The connecting horizontal plates and the connecting vertical plates are connected alternately. Adjacent connecting horizontal plates and adjacent connecting vertical plates form a placement cavity. One curing box is slidably disposed in each of the placement cavities. A label groove is provided on the vertical outer wall of the curing box.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution and using the label slots, operators can label the concrete test blocks inside the curing boxes with their types and conditions, eliminating the need for operators to open and identify the concrete test blocks during the curing process. The coordinated use of the curing box, support frame, label slots, and curing boxes enables the classification and labeling of the curing boxes, facilitating the curing of concrete test blocks for operators.
[0008] Optionally, one side of the maintenance box is open, and a door is rotatably connected to the open side of the maintenance box, with an observation window provided on the door.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the observation window facilitates the operator's observation of the condition inside the curing box.
[0010] Optionally, the maintenance box is provided with a lifting assembly, which includes a lifting box, a connecting ring plate, a lifting motor, and a lifting screw. The lifting box is disposed in the maintenance box, the connecting ring plate is connected to the outer ring wall of the top opening of the lifting box, the side of the connecting ring plate is fitted against the inner wall of the maintenance box, the lifting motor is connected to the inner wall of the maintenance box, the lifting motor is drivenly connected to the lifting screw, the lifting screw is vertically arranged, the bottom end of the lifting screw is rotatably connected to the bottom wall of the maintenance box, and the lifting screw is threadedly connected to the connecting ring plate.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, to save on curing water consumption for concrete blocks of different thicknesses, the internal volume of the curing box can be adjusted by regulating the height of the lifting box. The lifting motor drives the lifting screw to rotate, and the lifting box moves vertically under the drive of the lifting screw.
[0012] Optionally, the inner bottom wall of the lifting box is provided with an anti-slip pad.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the anti-slip mat reduces the possibility of the concrete blocks inside the curing box slipping when it is moved.
[0014] Optionally, a slide rail is provided on the top surface of the connecting cross plate of the placement cavity, and a sliding groove is provided on the top surface of the slide rail along its length direction. A roller is connected to the bottom of the maintenance box, and the roller is rotatably connected to the sliding groove of the slide rail.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the slide rail and rollers reduces the friction between the maintenance box and the support frame, making it easier for the maintenance box to slide more smoothly within it.
[0016] Optionally, a plurality of drive cylinders are connected to the vertical inner wall of the maintenance box away from the box door. The plurality of drive cylinders are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of maintenance boxes. The output shaft of the drive cylinder is arranged parallel to the slide rail and connected to the corresponding maintenance box.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to put concrete blocks into or take them out of the curing box, the drive cylinder is started, which drives the curing box to move at a constant speed, further reducing the possibility of water splashing out of the curing box.
[0018] Optionally, a splash-proof inner flange is connected to the inner ring wall of the top opening of the maintenance box.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the splash-proof inward-turned edge design reduces the possibility of water splashing out when the maintenance box is moved.
[0020] Optionally, the maintenance box is provided with connecting branch pipes, and several connecting branch pipes located in the same vertical row are connected to a connecting manifold. The connecting manifold extends out of the maintenance box and is connected to a water supply system.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the connection of branch pipes and connecting manifolds facilitates the simultaneous water filling operation of several maintenance boxes.
[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0023] 1. Through the cooperation of the curing box, support frame, label slot and curing box, the curing box can be classified and labeled, which can facilitate the curing of concrete test blocks by operators;
[0024] 2. The anti-slip mats reduce the possibility of the concrete blocks inside the curing box slipping when it is moved;
[0025] 3. The design of connecting branch pipes and connecting manifolds facilitates the simultaneous water filling of several maintenance boxes. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be further described in detail below. An embodiment of this application provides a curing box for concrete blocks, which facilitates the curing of concrete test blocks by operators.
[0031] Reference Figure 1-3A curing box for concrete blocks includes a curing box body 1, a support frame 2, a curing container 3, and a lifting assembly 4. The top of the curing box body 1 is equipped with a vertical control panel 5 for displaying temperature and humidity, and one side of the curing box body 1 is open. Two doors 6 are rotatably connected to the open end of the curing box body 1, and each door 6 has an observation window 7 for easy observation by the operator.
[0032] Reference Figure 2 The support frame 2 is installed in the curing box 1. The support frame 2 includes several horizontally arranged connecting horizontal plates 21 and several vertically arranged connecting vertical plates 22. The connecting horizontal plates 21 and the connecting vertical plates 22 are staggered. Two adjacent connecting vertical plates 22 and two adjacent connecting horizontal plates 21 together form a placement cavity. The curing box 3 is provided in each placement cavity.
[0033] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 Two parallel slide rails 8 are connected to the inner bottom wall of the placement chamber, and a sliding groove 81 is provided on the top surface of the slide rails 8 along their length. Rollers 10 are connected to the bottom wall of the curing box, and the rollers 10 are slidably disposed in the sliding grooves 81 of the slide rails 8. Several drive cylinders 9 are provided on the vertical inner wall of the curing box 1 away from the box door 6. The drive cylinders 9 are arranged one-to-one with several curing boxes 3 and are connected in transmission. The output shaft of the drive cylinder 9 is arranged parallel to the slide rails 8.
[0034] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A label slot 11 and a connecting handle 12 are connected to the vertical side wall of the maintenance box 3 away from the drive cylinder 9. The top of the maintenance box 3 is open, and a splash-proof inner flange 13 is connected to the inner ring wall of the top opening of the maintenance box 3. The lifting assembly 4 is set in the maintenance box 3 and includes a lifting box 41, a connecting ring plate 42, a sealing ring 43, a lifting motor 44, a lifting screw 45, and an anti-slip pad 46. The top of the lifting box 41 is open and is set in the maintenance box 3. The connecting ring plate 42 is horizontally connected to the outer ring wall of the top of the lifting box 41. The lifting motor 44 is connected to the inner ring wall of the maintenance box 3, and the output shaft of the lifting motor 44 is drivenly connected to one end of the lifting screw 45. The lifting screw 45 is vertically set and is threadedly connected to the connecting ring plate 42. The bottom end of the lifting screw 45 is rotatably connected to the inner bottom wall of the maintenance box 3. The sealing ring 43 is connected to the outer peripheral wall of the connecting ring plate 42, and the sealing ring 43 is fitted against the inner ring wall of the maintenance box 3. The anti-slip pad 46 is provided on the inner bottom wall of the lifting box 41.
[0035] Reference Figure 2A connecting branch pipe 14 is connected to the vertical side wall of the maintenance box 3 away from the connecting handle 12. Several connecting branch pipes 14 located in the same vertical row are connected to a connecting manifold 15. One end of the connecting manifold 15 extends out of the maintenance box 1 and is connected to the water supply system (not shown in the attached figure).
[0036] Reference Figure 1-3 The observation window 7 and label slot 11 facilitate operators' observation of the internal condition of the curing box 1 and the type of concrete in each curing box 3, eliminating the need to individually remove each curing box 3 to identify the concrete blocks inside. When it is necessary to place or remove concrete blocks, the drive cylinder 9 is activated, causing the curing box 3 to move outward at a uniform and stable speed. The rollers 10 and slide rails 8 reduce the friction between the curing box 3 and the connecting horizontal plate 21, allowing the curing box 3 to slide more smoothly in the placement cavity. The splash-proof inner flange 13 reduces the possibility of water splashing out of the curing box 3 during movement.
[0037] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 To save on curing water consumption for concrete blocks of varying thicknesses, the internal volume of the curing box 3 is adjusted by regulating the height of the lifting box 41. The lifting motor 44 starts, driving the lifting screw 45 to rotate. Under the limiting and guiding action of the lifting screw 45 and the curing box 3, the connecting ring plate 42 moves vertically, thus adjusting the height of the lifting box 41. The anti-slip pad 46 reduces the possibility of the concrete blocks sliding during the movement of the curing box 3. The connecting branch pipe 14 and the connecting manifold 15 allow for simultaneous water supply to several curing boxes 3.
[0038] The implementation principle of a curing box for concrete blocks in this embodiment is as follows: The observation window 7 and label slot 11 facilitate the operator's observation of the internal condition of the curing box 1 and the type of concrete in each curing box 3. When it is necessary to place or remove a concrete block, the drive cylinder 9 is activated, causing the curing box 3 to move outward at a uniform and stable speed. For concrete blocks of different thicknesses, in order to save curing water consumption, the internal volume of the curing box 3 is adjusted by adjusting the height of the lifting box 41. The anti-slip pad 46 reduces the possibility of the concrete blocks sliding when the curing box 3 moves. The connecting branch pipe 14 and connecting manifold 15 enable simultaneous water filling of several curing boxes 3.
[0039] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
