Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steam curing technology for building components, and in particular to a steam curing system for small components. Background Technology
[0002] Steam curing involves placing concrete components in a steam curing chamber and introducing steam to raise the temperature of the concrete, accelerating the hydration and hardening process of cement and auxiliary binders, quickly reaching the demolding strength, and speeding up formwork turnover and production efficiency.
[0003] Currently, the main maintenance method for small precast components is natural curing inside a large factory. The main steps involve laying the precast components out inside the factory, allowing them to cure naturally, and then having more than 20 workers manually move each component. This method requires manual management; with rising land costs, the existing maintenance model is becoming increasingly expensive and unsuitable for future needs. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a small component steam curing system, including a mounting bracket and a plurality of steam curing channels disposed on the mounting bracket. The plurality of steam curing channels are stacked vertically from top to bottom. The plurality of steam curing channels include a first steam curing channel and a plurality of second steam curing channels. The first steam curing channel is located below the plurality of second steam curing channels. Each second steam curing channel is connected to the mounting bracket through a different lifting structure. The lifting structure is used to adjust the height position of the corresponding second steam curing channel.
[0006] The steam curing channel is used to transport small components. When the small component is a concrete component, the concrete component is placed inside the mold base. The drive structure of the steam curing channel is connected to the mold base through a hook to transport the small component. When the small component is not a concrete component, the drive structure of the steam curing channel transports the small component through a tray.
[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting several steam curing channels on the mounting bracket, land use costs are reduced.

Only one palletizing device needs to be set up at one end of the steam curing channel to handle the components and arrange them sequentially on the steam curing channel. In addition, the upper steam curing channel can be lowered through the lifting structure to facilitate the handling by the palletizing device. This is different from the existing technology, reducing a large amount of manual handling and management work, which is conducive to adapting to development needs and controlling maintenance costs.

The sprocket is connected to the chain drive. The servo motor is used to drive the sprocket to rotate. Both the servo motor and the sprocket are connected to the steam curing channel.
[0009] Preferably, the chain is provided with a limiting structure, and the tray is movably connected to the drive structure through the limiting structure.
[0010] Preferably, the limiting structure includes at least two limiting blocks, the limiting blocks are connected to the driving structure, and a limiting groove is formed on the bottom of the tray, the limiting blocks are inserted into the limiting groove so that the tray is connected to the driving structure.
[0011] Preferably, the lifting structure includes a hydraulic cylinder, which is mounted on the mounting bracket, and the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder is arranged in a vertical direction and connected to the bottom of the second steam curing channel.
[0012] Preferably, the steam curing system further includes a palletizing device and a CNC machine tool, both of which are connected to the CNC machine tool, and the CNC machine tool is used to control the operation of the palletizing device and the drive structure.
[0013] Preferably, the latching component includes a connecting plate and a hook, the hook being connected to the driving structure via the connecting plate, and the mold base having a latching hole, the hook engaging with the latching hole.
[0014] Preferably, the hook further includes a locking structure, which is disposed on the hook and is used to lock the hook to the mold base.
[0015] Preferably, the locking structure includes a first clamping plate, a second clamping plate, and a locking plate. One end of the first clamping plate is rotatably connected to one end of the second clamping plate via a rotating structure. The other end of the first clamping plate is fixedly connected to the other end of the second clamping plate via a bolt structure. The connecting part of the hook is located between the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate. The locking plate is connected to the rotating structure via a torsion spring structure.

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The small component steam curing system in this embodiment of the present utility model includes a mounting bracket 10 and a steam curing channel 20.
[0029] The steam curing channels 20 consist of several layers, and these layers are vertically arranged on the mounting bracket 10. To further illustrate the distribution of the steam curing channels 20, each layer includes a first steam curing channel and several second steam curing channels. The first steam curing channel is located below the several second steam curing channels. Each second steam curing channel is connected to the mounting bracket 10 via a different lifting structure. The steam curing channels 20 can be configured as four layers, arranged sequentially in a vertical direction. In other embodiments, the steam curing channels 20 can be configured as two layers, one above the other. It is understood that by designing a three-dimensional structure, i.e., stacking layers upwards to expand the accommodating space, it is beneficial to reduce land use costs.
[0030] In this embodiment, each of the second steam curing channels is connected to the mounting bracket through different lifting structures. The lifting structures are used to adjust the height of the corresponding second steam curing channel so that the palletizing equipment can place small components on the drive structure of the upper steam curing channel 20.
[0031] In this embodiment, the steam curing channel 20 is used to transport small components. The steam curing channel 20 includes a drive structure. When the small component is a concrete component, since the concrete component needs to be loaded through the mold base, the concrete component is placed inside the mold base. A hook is provided on the drive structure to engage with the mold base. The drive structure drives the mold base to move along the extension direction of the steam curing channel 20 through the hook, so that the mold base loaded with the concrete component moves onto the steam curing channel 20 to avoid manual handling. When the small component is not a concrete component, a tray is provided on the drive structure of the steam curing channel 20. The small component is placed on the tray 21. The drive structure drives the tray 21 to move along the extension direction of the steam curing channel 20 to transport the small component.
[0032] In this embodiment, the steam curing system for small components also includes a palletizing device and a CNC machine tool. The palletizing device and the drive structure are both connected to the CNC machine tool. The CNC machine tool can adjust the speed at which the drive structure moves the pallet 21, control the start and stop states of the drive mechanism, control the start and stop states of the palletizing device, and control the moving speed of the palletizing device so that the palletizing device can place the small component 21 at the designated position in the steam curing channel 20.
[0033] In this embodiment, the drive structure includes two sets of sprockets 22, two chains 23, and a servo motor 24. Each set of sprockets 22 is matched with one chain 23, and each set of sprockets 22 is connected to the corresponding chain 23 for transmission. One set of sprockets 22 and one chain 23 are combined to form a drive line, that is, there are two drive lines. The two opposite ends of the tray 21 are respectively movably connected to the corresponding chains 23 in the two drive lines, so that the drive structure drives the tray 21 to move. Each set of sprockets 22 includes two sprockets 22, that is, the drive structure includes four sprockets 22. The drive shaft of the servo motor 24 is connected to the center of one of the sprockets 22, and the two sprockets 22 in opposite positions in the two drive lines are connected by a connecting shaft 25, so as to realize that a single servo motor 24 drives the two drive lines to move at the same speed.
[0034] In this embodiment, each chain 23 is provided with a limiting structure, and the pallet 21 is movably connected to the corresponding chain 23 through the limiting structure. Specifically, the limiting structure includes several limiting blocks 30, which are evenly distributed on the corresponding chain 23. The bottom of the pallet 21 is provided with a limiting groove. The limiting groove of the pallet 21 is aligned with the limiting block 30 by the pallet stacking equipment, and then the pallet 21 is placed vertically. When the pallet 21 is placed on the steam curing channel 20, the limiting block 30 is inserted into the limiting groove to limit the pallet 21 and prevent the pallet 21 from being misaligned during transportation.
[0035] It should be noted that a support belt is laid between the two chains 23, and the limiting structure is connected to the corresponding chain 23 through the support belt. The support belt is located between the chain 23 and the limiting block 30, and the limiting block 30 is located on the support belt.
[0036] In this embodiment, the lifting structure includes a hydraulic cylinder 41, which is mounted on the mounting bracket 10. The piston rod 42 of the hydraulic cylinder 41 is arranged vertically and is connected to the bottom of the corresponding second steam curing channel. It should be noted that the lifting structure matched with the lowermost second steam curing channel is directly mounted on the mounting bracket 10, and the lifting structures matched with the remaining second steam curing channels are all mounted on the mounting bracket 10 through the receiving plate 43, so as to realize the upper and lower layer setting of the two steam curing channels 20.
[0037] In this embodiment, the hook component includes a connecting plate 51 and a hook 52. The hook 52 is connected to the chain 23 of the drive structure through the connecting plate 51. Specifically, the connecting plate 51 is threadedly connected to the limiting block 30 on the chain 23. The mold base is provided with a locking hole, through which the hook 52 passes to achieve the locking between the hook 52 and the locking hole. The hook component also includes a locking structure, which is provided on the hook 52. The hook 52 is a semi-enclosed structure. The locking structure and the hook 52 are combined to form a fully enclosed structure. The locking structure is used to lock the hook 52 to the mold base to prevent the hook 52 from disengaging from the locking hole, thereby improving safety during transportation. At the same time, the locking structure is movably connected to the hook 52 so that after the hook component completes the dragging operation, the hook 52 will disengage from the locking hole of the mold base.
[0038] In this embodiment, the locking structure includes a first clamping plate 523, a second clamping plate 524, and a locking plate 525. One end of the first clamping plate 523 is rotatably connected to one end of the second clamping plate 524 via a rotating structure 526. The connecting part 521 of the hook 52 is located between the first clamping plate 523 and the second clamping plate 524. The other end of the first clamping plate 523 is fixedly connected to the other end of the second clamping plate 524 via a bolt structure 527, so as to fix the locking structure and the hook 52, so that the locking structure can be disassembled at any time. One end of the locking plate 525 is connected to the rotating structure 526 via a torsion spring structure 528. The other end of the locking plate 525 extends toward the hook 522 and abuts against the hook 522, so that the locking plate 525 and the hook 52 combine to form a fully enclosed structure.
[0039] It should be noted that when the mold base needs to be moved onto the steam curing channel 20, external force is applied manually to move the end of the locking plate 525 away from the rotating structure 526 toward the center of the hook 52, so that an isolation space is formed between the locking plate 525 and the hook 522, allowing the hook 522 to smoothly engage with the locking hole. When the external force is withdrawn manually, the locking plate 525 returns to its initial position under the action of the torsion spring structure 528, that is, the locking plate 525 abuts against the hook 522.
[0040] In practical implementation, by setting several steam curing channels 20 on the mounting bracket 10, land use costs are reduced. When steam curing of small components is required, if the small component is a concrete component, the mold base of the concrete component can be connected to the drive structure of the steam curing channel 20 through the hook. If the small component is not a concrete component, the small component is connected to the steam curing channel 20 through the pallet 21, and then the small component is transported through the drive structure. This enables corresponding transport operations for different types of small components. Only one palletizing device needs to be set up at one end of the steam curing channel 20 to handle the components and arrange them sequentially on the steam curing channel 20. In addition, the upper steam curing channel 20 can be lowered through the lifting structure so that the palletizing device can handle it. Compared with the existing technology, this reduces a lot of manual handling and management work, which is conducive to adapting to development needs and controlling maintenance costs.
[0041] It should be noted that the above implementation process is only to illustrate the feasibility of this application, but it does not mean that the small component steam curing system of this application has only the above-mentioned unique implementation process. On the contrary, as long as the small component steam curing system of this application can be implemented, it can be included in the feasible implementation scheme of this application.
