Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of concrete testing technology, and specifically relates to a concrete impermeability testing model and impermeability testing instrument. Background Technology
[0002] The impermeability of concrete refers to its ability to resist the penetration of pressurized water, and it is the most fundamental factor determining the durability of concrete. The stepwise pressurization method is a commonly used method for testing the impermeability of concrete. The specific operation involves placing a concrete specimen into a mold, bolting the mold to a mounting plate, and sealing the mold and mounting plate with sealing rings or other sealing components. The mounting plate has water inlet holes for injection. By injecting water into these holes and gradually adjusting the injection pressure, the water is forced to the bottom of the concrete specimen. The top of the specimen is then observed for any seepage, and the impermeability of the concrete is calculated based on the injection pressure.
[0003] Currently, to prevent water from seeping between the concrete specimen and the inner wall of the mold, a layer of paraffin wax is usually wrapped around the outer wall of the concrete specimen before pressing it into the mold. This creates an interference fit between the concrete specimen and the mold, improving the sealing effect of the sidewalls of the concrete specimen. However, this sealing method requires the use of a press to press the concrete specimen into the mold, which is quite cumbersome. Furthermore, the paraffin wax layer on the outer wall of the concrete specimen is prone to wear during pressing into the mold, affecting the sealing effect. In addition, because the concrete specimen and the mold are in an interference fit, separation is difficult, and it is hard to quickly remove the mold after testing. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of the aforementioned background technology, this utility model provides a concrete impermeability testing mold and impermeability testing instrument to solve the problems of cumbersome operation of pressing concrete specimens into the mold cylinder and difficulty in separating concrete specimens from the mold cylinder.
[0005] A concrete impermeability testing mold includes: a base, the base having a first water inlet hole and multiple pressure holes, each pressure hole containing a spring; a placement platform, the top of the placement platform having a groove, the bottom of the groove having a second water inlet hole that mates with the first water inlet hole, the bottom of the placement platform having a pressure block that slidably inserts into the pressure hole; and a mold cylinder, the mold cylinder including a sealing body and an mounting ring surrounding the outer side of the sealing body, the sealing body having a sealing groove, the sealing groove including a first sleeve section and a second sleeve section arranged vertically, the first sleeve section being a frustum-shaped structure narrower at the top and wider at the bottom, the first sleeve section mates with the outer periphery of the concrete test block, and the second sleeve section mates with the outer periphery of the placement platform; the base having multiple first threaded holes, and the mounting ring having multiple second threaded holes, the first threaded holes corresponding to the second threaded holes.
[0006] In the above technical solution, the concrete test block is a frustum-shaped structure that is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom. It mates with the first connecting segment of the sealing groove. During testing, the concrete test block is placed on the placement platform, and then the mold is fitted onto the concrete test block. At this time, the first connecting segment fits against the outer periphery of the concrete test block, and the second connecting segment fits against the outer periphery of the placement platform. Subsequently, using bolts or other threaded fasteners, the base and the mold are connected together through the first and second threaded holes on the base and the mold. At this time, since the placement platform is pressed against the base, the pressure block compresses the spring in the pressure hole, and the placement platform will always be subjected to the pushing force from the spring, thereby pressing the concrete test block above into the sealing groove, so that the concrete test block fits tightly against the side wall of the sealing groove, effectively ensuring the sealing effect. After the base and the mold are installed, water is introduced into the groove through the first and second water inlets. By adjusting the water injection pressure, the impermeability of the concrete test block is tested.
[0007] In one embodiment, the pressure hole is arranged around the first water inlet hole.
[0008] In the above technical solution, multiple pressure holes are provided and arranged around the first water inlet hole, which can make the top thrust force on the placement platform more evenly distributed.
[0009] In one embodiment, the top of the sealing groove extends through the mold cylinder.
[0010] In the above technical solution, the opening formed by the sealing groove through the top of the mold cylinder allows for easy observation of whether water seeps into the top of the concrete test block.
[0011] In one embodiment, a first sealing ring is provided on the inner wall of the first socket segment, and a second sealing ring is provided on the inner wall of the second socket segment.
[0012] In the above technical solution, the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring are used to enhance the sealing effect between the sealing groove and the concrete test block and the placement platform after the mold is installed.
[0013] In one embodiment, both the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring are inflatable sealing rings, and the mold cylinder is provided with air passages that communicate with the inner cavities of the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring.
[0014] In the above technical solution, both the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring are equipped with air nozzles. The air passage on the mold cylinder is connected to the air nozzles. An external air source can inflate the inner cavity of the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring through the air passage, causing the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring to expand, so as to achieve a seal between the two mating surfaces. After the test is completed, the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring are deflated. At this time, the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring shrink, the friction between the two mating surfaces is reduced, and then the mold cylinder and the concrete test block can be easily separated.
[0015] In one embodiment, a spring fixing block is provided at the bottom of the pressure hole, and the spring is sleeved on the spring fixing block.
[0016] In the above technical solution, the spring fixing block is used to install and limit the spring to prevent it from shifting during movement.
[0017] In one embodiment, the base is provided with a plurality of positioning posts, and the mounting ring is provided with positioning holes that cooperate with the positioning posts.
[0018] In the above technical solution, the positioning pins and positioning holes are used for positioning during the installation of the base and the mold cylinder, which facilitates quick installation.
[0019] In one embodiment, the base is further provided with a plurality of mounting holes.
[0020] In the above technical solution, the base is connected and installed to the impermeability testing equipment through mounting holes.
[0021] In one embodiment, the top of the base is provided with a third sealing ring, which surrounds the first water inlet hole.
[0022] In the above technical solution, after the base and the mold cylinder are installed, the bottom of the placement platform presses the third sealing ring tightly to seal the placement platform and the base and prevent water leakage.
[0023] A permeability testing instrument includes a machine base, a water supply device, and an air supply device, wherein the machine base is used to install a concrete permeability testing mold.
[0024] In the above technical solution, the base of the concrete permeability test mold is installed on the machine platform. The water supply device is used to inject water into the concrete permeability test mold and can adjust the water injection pressure to meet the permeability test requirements. The air supply device is used to supply air to the air-filled sealing ring in the concrete permeability test mold so that it can perform its sealing function normally.
[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:
[0026] The mold cylinder of this utility model is provided with a sealing groove. The sealing groove includes a first connecting section. The first connecting section is a frustum-shaped structure that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. It matches the shape of the concrete test block. After the base and the mold cylinder are connected by threaded fasteners, the pressure block at the bottom of the placement platform compresses the spring in the pressure hole. The placement platform is always subjected to the pushing force from the spring, thereby pressing the concrete test block tightly in the sealing groove, so that the concrete test block is closely attached to the side wall of the sealing groove, effectively ensuring the sealing effect.
[0027] The first connecting section of this utility model is designed as a frustum-shaped structure that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, which facilitates the positioning and assembly of the mold cylinder and the concrete test block. In addition, it also facilitates the separation of the sealing sleeve from the concrete test block.
[0028] This invention simply requires placing the mold cylinder onto the concrete test block and then using threaded fasteners to fix the mold cylinder and the base. The operation is simple and does not require the use of a press to press the concrete test block into the mold cylinder. This avoids wear on the paraffin layer on the outer surface of the concrete test block, ensures sealing, and improves the accuracy and reliability of the test results. Attached Figure Description

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0039] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0040] A concrete impermeability test mold includes a base 1, a placement platform 2, and a mold cylinder 3 arranged sequentially from bottom to top. The base 1 is provided with a first water inlet hole 11 and multiple pressure holes 12. A spring 13 is installed in the pressure hole 12. The top of the placement platform 2 is provided with a groove 21. The bottom of the groove 21 has a second water inlet hole 22 that matches the first water inlet hole 11. The inner diameters of the first water inlet hole 11 and the second water inlet hole 22 are the same and they are coaxially arranged. The bottom of the placement platform 2 is provided with a pressure block 23, which is slidably inserted into the pressure hole 12. The mold cylinder 3 includes a sealing body 31 and an installation ring 32 surrounding the outside of the sealing body 31. The sealing body 31 is provided with a sealing groove 33, which includes a first sleeve section 331 and a second sleeve section 332 arranged vertically. The first sleeve section 331 is a frustum-shaped structure that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The first sleeve section 331 fits with the outer periphery of the concrete test block 5, and the second sleeve section 332 fits with the outer periphery of the placement platform 2. The base 1 is provided with a plurality of first threaded holes 14, and the installation ring 32 is provided with a plurality of second threaded holes 321. The first threaded holes 14 and the second threaded holes 321 are arranged correspondingly.
[0041] The concrete test block 5 has a frustum-shaped structure, narrower at the top and wider at the bottom, to fit the first connecting segment 331 of the sealing groove 33. During testing, the concrete test block 5 is placed on the placement platform 2, and then the mold cylinder 3 is fitted onto the concrete test block 5. At this time, the first connecting segment 331 fits against the outer periphery of the concrete test block 5, and the second connecting segment 332 fits against the outer periphery of the placement platform 2. Then, the bolts 4 are inserted into the first threaded hole 14 and the second threaded hole 321 to fasten the base 1 and the mold cylinder 3 together. At this time, the placement platform 2 is pressed against the base 1, and the pressure block 23 will press down... The compression of the spring 13 inside the hole 12 ensures that the placement platform 2 is always subjected to the pushing force from the spring 13, thereby pressing the concrete test block 5 placed on the placement platform 2 tightly, so that the outer periphery of the concrete test block 5 is tightly fitted with the side wall of the sealing groove 33, effectively ensuring the sealing effect. After the base 1 and the mold cylinder 3 are installed, the first water inlet hole 11 and the second water inlet hole 22 are connected. Water can enter the groove 21 through the first water inlet hole 11 and the second water inlet hole 22. By adjusting the water injection pressure, the water seepage at the top of the concrete test block 5 is observed to test the impermeability of the concrete test block 5.
[0042] It should be noted that the first connecting segment 331 is designed as a frustum shape that is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom. This is to prevent the concrete test block 5 from being pushed upwards when the placement platform 2 is subjected to an upward thrust, so that the concrete test block 5 can be tightly attached to the inner wall of the first connecting segment 331. In addition, the frustum shape facilitates the positioning and fitting of the mold cylinder 3 and the concrete test block 5. It also facilitates the separation of the sealing sleeve from the concrete test block 5. Furthermore, the surface of the concrete test block 5 includes a sealing layer made of paraffin wax. In this application, it is only necessary to put the mold cylinder 3 on the concrete test block 5 and then use bolts 4 to fix the mold cylinder 3 and the base 1. The concrete test block 5 will always be tightly attached to the side wall of the sealing groove 33 under the action of the spring 13. There is no need to use a press to press the concrete test block 5 into the mold cylinder 3. The operation is simple and the practicality is better.
[0043] Preferably, in order to ensure that the spring 13 exerts a uniform pushing force on the placement platform 2, four pressure holes 12 and four pressure blocks 23 are provided. The four pressure holes 12 are distributed around the first water inlet hole 11 at equal included angles. A spring 13 is provided in each pressure hole 12, and the pressure block 23 is provided in correspondence with the pressure hole 12.
[0044] Preferably, the outer periphery of the base 1, the placement platform 2, and the sealing body 31 and mounting ring 32 of the mold cylinder 3 are all circular.
[0045] In this embodiment, the top of the sealing groove 33 extends through the mold cylinder 3. The opening formed by the sealing groove 33 extending through the top of the mold cylinder 3 allows for easy observation of whether water seeps into the top of the concrete test block 5.
[0046] In this embodiment, a first sealing ring 34 is provided on the inner wall of the first sleeve section 331, and a second sealing ring 35 is provided on the inner wall of the second sleeve section 332. The first sealing ring 34 and the second sealing ring 35 are used to enhance the sealing effect between the sealing groove 33 and the concrete test block 5 and the placement platform 2 after the mold cylinder 3 is installed.
[0047] Preferably, both the first sealing ring 34 and the second sealing ring 35 are inflatable sealing rings, and both are equipped with air nozzles (not specifically shown in the figure). The mold cylinder 3 is provided with a first air passage 36 and a second air passage 37. The first air passage 36 is connected to the air nozzle of the first sealing ring 34, and the second air passage 37 is connected to the air nozzle of the second sealing ring 35. An external air source can inflate the inner cavities of the first sealing ring 34 and the second sealing ring 35 through the first air passage 36 and the second air passage 37, causing the first sealing ring 34 and the second sealing ring 35 to expand and seal the two mating surfaces. In actual use, after the mold cylinder 3 is installed with the base 1, the first sealing ring 34 and the second sealing ring 35 are inflated by an external air source, causing them to expand and seal. After the test, the first sealing ring 34 and the second sealing ring 35 are deflated. At this time, the first sealing ring 34 and the second sealing ring 35 contract, reducing the friction between the two mating surfaces. Then, the bolt 4 is loosened, and the mold cylinder 3 can be easily removed.
[0048] It should be noted that the inner wall of the sealing groove 33 is provided with an annular groove for installing the first sealing ring 34 and the second sealing ring 35. The annular groove for fixing the first sealing ring 34 is located slightly above the connection position of the first sleeve section 331 and the second sleeve section 332, which can play a certain role in avoiding the placement platform 2, so that the placement platform 2 can be slightly raised under the pushing force of the spring 13, ensuring that the outer periphery of the concrete test block 5 can be tightly attached to the first sleeve section 331.
[0049] In this embodiment, a third sealing ring 17 is provided on the top of the base 1. The third sealing ring 17 is arranged around the first water inlet hole 11. After the base 1 and the mold cylinder 3 are installed, the bottom of the placement platform 2 presses the third sealing ring 17 tightly, so that the placement platform 2 and the base 1 are sealed to prevent water leakage during water injection.
[0050] In this embodiment, a spring fixing block 121 is provided at the bottom of the pressure hole 12, and the spring 13 is sleeved on the spring fixing block 121. The spring fixing block 121 is used to install and limit the spring 13 to prevent it from shifting during movement.
[0051] In this embodiment, the base 1 is provided with positioning posts 15 and mounting holes 16, and the mounting ring 32 of the mold cylinder 3 is provided with positioning holes 322 that cooperate with the positioning posts 15. The positioning posts 15 and positioning holes 322 are used for positioning when the base 1 and the mold cylinder 3 are installed, so as to facilitate quick alignment and installation. The mounting holes 16 are used to connect the base 1 to the impermeability testing equipment. In specific implementation, the number of positioning posts 15 and mounting holes 16 can be flexibly adjusted as needed.
[0052] In another embodiment, a permeability tester is provided, which includes a machine base 6, a water supply device and an air supply device (only the machine base 6 is shown in the figure, and the water supply device and the air supply device are not specifically shown). The machine base 6 is provided with a fixing hole 61 that mates with the mounting hole 16, so that the base 1 can be mounted on the machine base 6.
[0053] Specifically, the machine base 6 is provided with a water inlet passage 62 connected to the first water inlet hole 11. The water supply device is connected to the first water inlet hole 11 through the water inlet passage 62, so that water can be injected into the first water inlet hole 11. By adjusting the water injection pressure, the impermeability of the concrete test block 5 can be tested. The air supply device is connected to the first air passage 36 and the second air passage 37 respectively, and is used to supply air to the first sealing ring 34 and the second sealing ring 35 so that they can perform their sealing function normally.
