Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of maintenance of twisted block molds, specifically, it relates to a maintenance device for twisted block molds. Background Technology
[0002] Twisted blocks, also known as wave-breaking stones, are mainly used for wave protection in dams and are in very high demand. They are mostly cast using molds. To ensure their longevity, we must ensure that the molds for the wave-breaking blocks do not rust during the production process. Therefore, we must regularly inspect these molds during the production process. If the mold rusts, it is generally no longer usable. This is because when steel rusts, its internal structure changes significantly. Moreover, if some parts rust, the surrounding steel will have many pores, which will accelerate the rusting process and make it very easy to break during use.
[0003] When the steel mold of the twisting block rusts, the quality of the twisting block produced cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, the twisting block needs to be maintained regularly. When rust is found, it needs to be removed in time. In view of this, this utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a maintenance device for twisted block molds.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A curing device for twisted block molds includes a base, a winding machine, a curing platform, and a curing pool. The upper end of the base is fixedly connected to a horizontal drive seat via a support column. A reciprocating drive seat that can move back and forth is provided below the horizontal drive seat.

The upper end of the infusion gun is equipped with an extension nozzle.
[0008] The base has internal partitions that separate cavities for the rust remover box and the dust storage box, and a controller is fixed at the front end of the base.
[0009] Optionally, a handheld grinder is fixed to the front end of one of the support columns via a mounting bracket. A slide rail for longitudinal movement of the slider is fixed to the inside of the support column, and a positioning bolt is threaded to the front end of the slider. A collection cover is fixedly installed on one side of the slider. One side of the collection cover is connected to the negative pressure end of the fan through a negative pressure pipe through the cavity. The other end of the fan is connected to the inside of the dust collection box through a pipe and fixed to the bag opening of the dust collection bag with a fixing clamp.
[0010] Optionally, the maintenance platform includes a support, a buffer platform, a damping rod, and a buffer spring. The upper surface of the support has grooves at the four corners for installing the damping rod. A buffer platform is provided on the upper end of the support, and a sleeve block corresponding to the position of the extension end of the damping rod is fixed inside the buffer platform. A groove is provided in the middle of the support for installing multiple buffer springs, and the upper end of the buffer spring abuts against the buffer platform.
[0011] Optionally, the horizontal drive seat and the reciprocating drive seat are driven by motors. The output shafts of both motors are fixed to lead screws via couplings. The other ends of both lead screws are rotatably connected to the interior of the horizontal drive seat or the reciprocating drive seat via bearings. Threaded sleeves are installed on the exterior of both lead screws. Guide blocks adapted to guide rails are fixed to the upper ends of both threaded sleeves, and drive blocks are fixed to the lower ends of both threaded sleeves. The drive block located inside the horizontal drive seat is fixed to the top of the reciprocating drive seat by screws, and the drive block located inside the reciprocating drive seat is fixed to the housing of the winding machine by screws.

[0015] This invention allows for rust removal and maintenance of the Twisted King block mold using a curing table, a handheld grinder, a curing tank, and an IV drip gun. When the curing area is large, the Twisted King block mold can be placed directly inside the curing tank, and the rusted areas can be removed by immersing it in rust remover. After rust removal, it can be placed on the curing table and dried. Then, the uneven parts can be polished using a handheld grinder. When the curing and rust removal area is small, the rust removal area of the Twisted King block can be precisely sprayed directly using an IV drip gun without soaking, making it more convenient. Similarly, when uneven surfaces appear, they can be polished using a handheld grinder. The debris generated during the polishing process will be collected by a fan, a collection hood, and a dust bag to prevent the flying debris from threatening the environment and the safety of workers.

Detailed Implementation
[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a curing device for twisted block molds, including a base 1, a winding machine 5, a curing table and a curing pool 7. The upper end of the base 1 is fixedly connected to a horizontal drive seat 3 through a support column 2. A reciprocating drive seat 4 that can move back and forth is provided below the horizontal drive seat 3. The bottom of the reciprocating drive seat 4 is provided with a winding machine 5 for hoisting the twisted block mold. The winding reel of the winding machine 5 is connected to a ring buckle 6 by a steel wire. The upper middle part of the base 1 is provided with a curing table and a curing pool 7 for curing the twisted block mold.
[0029] The curing tank 7 is equipped with a rust remover for removing rust from the mold. On one side of the curing tank 7, a first solenoid valve 8 connected to an external water source pipe and a second solenoid valve 9 connected to a supply pipe 10 are connected through pipes. A first corrosion-resistant liquid pump 11 is connected to the bottom of the supply pipe 10. The other end of the first corrosion-resistant liquid pump 11 is connected to the interior of the rust remover tank 12 through a pipe. The front end of the rust remover tank 12 is equipped with a replenishment pipe 13 and a scale window 14. A second corrosion-resistant liquid pump 15 is fixed on the other side of the curing tank 7. The negative pressure end of the second corrosion-resistant liquid pump 15 is connected to the interior of the curing tank 7 through a pipe. The outlet end of the second corrosion-resistant liquid pump 15 is connected to the interior of the infusion gun 17 through a delivery pipe 16. An extension nozzle 18 is provided at the upper end of the infusion gun 17.
[0030] The base 1 has an internal partition that separates the cavity for the rust remover box 12 and the dust collection box 19. A controller 20 is fixed at the front end of the base 1. Considering that existing twisted block molds require maintenance after long-term use, the maintenance mainly involves checking for rust. When rust appears, it needs to be removed to ensure the quality of subsequent twisted blocks and prevent rust from causing holes in the mold, which would affect the quality of the twisted blocks. This utility model can use a curing table, a handheld grinder 22, a curing pool 7, and an infusion gun 17 to perform rust removal and maintenance on the twisted block mold. When the curing area is large, the twisted block can be directly removed. The mold is placed inside the curing tank 7, and the rusted parts are removed by soaking in rust remover. After rust removal, it can be placed on the curing table and dried. Then, the uneven parts can be polished with a hand-held grinder 22. When the area to be cured and rusted is small, the rusted area of the mold can be precisely sprayed directly through the infusion gun 17 without soaking, which is more convenient. Similarly, when there are uneven surfaces, the hand-held grinder 22 can be used for polishing. The debris generated during the polishing process will be collected by the fan 28, the collection hood 26 and the dust bag 31 to avoid the flying debris from threatening the environment and the safety of workers.
[0031] A handheld grinder 22 is fixed to the front end of one of the support columns 2 via a mounting bracket 21. A slide rail 24 for longitudinal movement of the slider 23 is fixed to the inside of the support column 2. A positioning bolt 25 is threaded to the front end of the slider 23. A collection cover 26 is fixedly installed on one side of the slider 23. One side of the collection cover 26 is connected to the negative pressure end of the fan 28 through a negative pressure pipe 27 passing through the cavity. The other end of the fan 28 passes through a pipe into the interior of the dust collection box 19 and is fixed to the bag opening of the dust collection bag 31 by a fixing clamp 30. Considering that there may be debris flying when grinding the uneven surface of the mold due to rust, the negative pressure generated by the operation of the fan 28 will collect the debris and transport it to the interior of the dust collection bag 31 through the pipe. The air will be discharged through the gap of the dust collection bag 31 and the dustproof mesh holes on one side of the dust collection box 19.
[0032] The curing platform includes a support 32, a buffer platform 34, a damping rod 33, and a buffer spring 35. The upper surface of the support 32 has slots at each of its four corners for mounting the damping rod 33. A buffer platform 34 is mounted on the upper end of the support 32, and a sleeve block corresponding to the telescopic end of the damping rod 33 is fixed inside the buffer platform 34. A groove for mounting multiple buffer springs 35 is provided in the middle of the support 32, and the upper end of each buffer spring 35 abuts against the buffer platform 34. The curing platform acts as a buffer for the torsion block mold during hoisting. When the torsion block mold is placed on the support 32, the impact generated by the contact between the buffer platform 34 and the torsion block mold is absorbed and released by the buffer springs 35. During the release of elastic potential energy by the buffer springs 35, the damping rod 33 suppresses the impact, thus completing the buffering process and preventing impact on the support 32 during hoisting.
[0033] The horizontal drive seat 3 and the reciprocating drive seat 4 are driven by motors 36. The output shafts of both motors 36 are fixed to lead screws 37 via couplings. The other ends of both lead screws 37 are rotatably connected to the interior of the horizontal drive seat 3 or the reciprocating drive seat 4 via bearings. Threaded sleeves 38 are installed on the exterior of both lead screws 37. Guide blocks 40 adapted to guide rails 39 are fixed to the upper ends of both threaded sleeves 38, and drive blocks 41 are fixed to the lower ends of both threaded sleeves 38. The drive blocks 41 located inside the horizontal drive seat 3 are fixed to the top of the reciprocating drive seat 4 by screws, and the drive blocks 41 located inside the reciprocating drive seat 4 are fixed to the housing of the winding machine 5 by screws. By setting up the horizontal drive seat 3, the reciprocating drive seat 4, and the winding machine 5, the horizontal drive seat 3, the reciprocating drive seat 4, and the winding machine 5 can be effectively driven. The winding machine 5 facilitates the maintenance of the twisted block mold without manual handling, offering high convenience. During use, the horizontal drive seat 3 drives the reciprocating drive seat 4 to its operating position. When the operating position is above the twisted block mold, the reciprocating drive seat 4 can be activated, causing the drive block 41 to move the winding machine 5 directly above the twisted block mold. Then, the ring buckle 6 is used to install the twisted block mold. The installation method of the ring buckle 6 in the figure is only for illustration. Later, in order to improve the stability of the hoisting, the number of ring buckles 6 can be increased, and the binding method can also be changed accordingly. Subsequently, the winding machine 5 is started to wind up and lift the twisted block mold. After lifting, the mold can be hoisted to the curing platform or curing pool 7 for curing through the cooperation of the horizontal drive seat 3 and the reciprocating drive seat 4.
[0034] The bottom of both the horizontal drive seat 3 and the reciprocating drive seat 4 is provided with a movable groove for the drive block 41 to move. Both sides of the two drive blocks 41 are provided with I-beam blocks 42. The size of the recess in the middle of the two sides of each I-beam block 42 is adapted to the thickness of the side wall of the movable groove. The upper end of the middle recess of each I-beam block 42 is provided with a ball bearing 43 to increase the smoothness of sliding. The bottom of the multiple I-beam blocks 42 is fixed to the housing of the winding machine 5 and the reciprocating drive seat 4 by screws. By setting the I-beam blocks 42, the load on the drive block 41 is distributed, reducing the pressure on the drive block 41. The ball bearing 43 in the middle recess of the I-beam block 42 will increase the smoothness of the drive movement.
[0035] The bottom of the housing of the winding machine 5 is provided with an embedded slot for installing the supplementary light 29. The supplementary light 29 provides auxiliary lighting for the workers who are binding the twisted blocks.

Anyone should know that structural changes made under the guidance of this utility model, and any technical solutions that are the same as or similar to this utility model, fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Technical aspects, shapes, and structures not described in detail in this utility model are all publicly known technologies.
