Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of concrete water-reducing agent technology, and more specifically, it relates to a concrete water-reducing agent storage device. Background Technology

[0002] In many industrial applications, especially in construction and concrete production, the use of water-reducing agents is crucial. These agents improve the fluidity of concrete, reduce water usage, and thus enhance its strength and durability. However, existing water-reducing agent storage and discharge systems often present a problem: the difficulty in precisely regulating the flow rate. This is particularly true in mass production, where the amount of water-reducing agent used must be precisely controlled according to the concrete mix design. Current technology lacks effective means for real-time flow rate adjustment, leading to unstable levels of water-reducing agent during use, which in turn affects the quality and performance of the concrete.

[0003] Furthermore, in the design of storage and discharge systems, traditional equipment mostly focuses on volume and capacity design, but neglects the accuracy of flow control. Due to the high viscosity of the water-reducing agent in the storage device, blockages or excessively fast flow may occur during discharge, which adversely affects the effectiveness of the water-reducing agent and the safety of the working environment. In addition, traditional flow control devices usually lack flexible adjustment mechanisms and cannot adapt to changes in different production needs. Therefore, manual intervention is often required in actual operation, resulting in low efficiency and cumbersome operation. Utility Model Content

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that guide blocks are fixedly provided on the outer side of each of the multiple sets of sliders, and guide grooves are provided on the inner wall of each of the multiple sets of slide grooves. The multiple sets of guide blocks slide in the multiple sets of guide grooves respectively, which is used to improve the guiding accuracy and running stability of the sliders during the sliding process.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that multiple sets of sliding grooves and guide grooves are inclinedly arranged on the inner wall of the connecting sleeve and are respectively slidably connected to multiple sets of sliders and guide blocks, so as to optimize the sliding path and facilitate the smooth adjustment and positioning of the adjustment structure.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that all of the connecting plates are spring plates, which are used to improve the flexible connection and buffering performance of the adjustment structure during the movement process.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that a guide block is fixedly provided on the inner side of the connecting sleeve, and a guide groove is provided on the outer wall of the adjusting sleeve. Multiple sets of the guide block and the guide groove are provided and slidably connected to enhance the guiding performance and structural stability of the adjusting sleeve during the adjustment process.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that each of the multiple sets of guide blocks has a sliding hole on its inner side, each of the multiple sets of sliding holes has a push spring connected to its inner wall, each of the multiple sets of push springs has a positioning block connected to its bottom end, and each of the multiple sets of guide grooves has a positioning groove. The positioning grooves are arranged in multiple sets and distributed in the multiple sets of guide grooves to realize the hierarchical positioning function of adjusting the position, thereby enhancing the accuracy and reliability of the operation.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that each of the multiple sets of positioning blocks has a fixed abutment rod on its top surface, and the multiple sets of abutment rods are slidably connected to the connecting sleeve, which is used to improve the force balance and structural response efficiency of the positioning blocks during the positioning process.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a concrete water-reducing agent storage device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This device, while meeting the storage requirements of water-reducing agents, incorporates a connecting sleeve at the bottom of the storage tank. This connecting sleeve integrates an adjustment mechanism, enabling flow rate regulation during water-reducing agent discharge. The adjustment mechanism, through the sliding adjusting sleeve, drives multiple baffles to change their spacing, thereby controlling the flow area of ​​the water-reducing agent and effectively solving the problem of difficult flow rate adjustment in existing technologies. This structural design not only improves operational flexibility during use but also helps control the amount of water-reducing agent according to different concrete mix proportions, improving the consistency of concrete preparation and the quality of the finished product.

[0018] 2. The device utilizes a combination of multiple guide blocks and guide grooves, along with elastic connectors and a positioning mechanism, to achieve precise positioning during the sliding process. Specifically, during sliding, the positioning blocks, under the action of push springs, progressively embed themselves into the preset positioning grooves. When the desired position is reached, rotating the external threaded sleeve causes the sliding sleeve to limit the movement, ultimately securing the positioning block reliably into the positioning groove, thus achieving stable locking of the adjusted state. This series of coordinated structures ensures the controllability and repeatability of the entire adjustment process, avoiding errors caused by loose components or misoperation, and improving the safety and reliability of the device's operation.

[0019] 3. To prevent the water-reducing agent from stratifying or settling due to prolonged standing during storage, this device is equipped with a drive mechanism at the top of the storage tank. A motor drives a rotating rod to rotate the agitator, ensuring the water-reducing agent remains uniformly mixed during storage. This integrated stirring function helps maintain the chemical stability of the water-reducing agent, providing more consistent flowability and concentration for subsequent discharge and use. It also simplifies the need for external auxiliary stirring equipment, improving the overall system's automation level and efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0037] In this embodiment, during use, the water-reducing agent is injected into the storage tank 1, and then the top cover 8 is fixed to the top of the storage tank 1.

[0038] More specifically, the starting motor 10 drives the rotating rod 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the stirring paddle 12 to rotate, and the stirring paddle 12 stirs the water-reducing agent stored in the storage tank 1.

The adjusting sleeve 3 pulls the multiple sets of baffle plates 4 through multiple sets of connecting plates 5, causing the multiple sets of baffle plates 4 to slide... Block 6 and guide block 13 slide along slide groove 7 and guide groove 14 respectively, so that a flow space is formed between multiple sets of baffles 4, which can discharge the water-reducing agent.
