[0041] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, they are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art.

[0043] In related technologies, concrete specimens need to be cured before testing, and concrete curing racks are often used for this process. The general curing procedure involves placing multiple concrete specimens one by one onto the curing rack. However, repeated practice has revealed the following problems: First, over long-term use, the curing racks may corrode due to the raw materials of the concrete specimens and environmental factors, potentially contaminating the surface of the specimens and affecting the accuracy of subsequent testing. Second, when placing the concrete specimens on the curing rack, they may slip from the hands, potentially damaging them. Third, the storage and processing locations of the concrete specimens are usually in different areas. When storing the specimens, they need to be moved to their designated locations before being placed on the curing rack, reducing storage efficiency.
[0044] Based on this, this application provides a concrete specimen curing frame. See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 The curing frame includes a support frame 1, multiple placement frames 2, placement plates 3 corresponding to the placement frames 2, a moving component 4, and a limiting component 5. The placement frames 2 are mounted on the support frame 1 and divide the support frame 1 into different storage spaces. The placement plates 3 are movably connected to the placement frames 2 via the moving component 4 and are used to carry concrete specimens. The moving component 4 is used to drive the placement plates 3 to move on the placement frames 2. The limiting component 5 is connected to the moving component 4 and is used to restrict the movement of the placement plates 3.
[0045] In this embodiment, when curing concrete specimens, pulling the placement plate 3 causes it to extend out of the storage space under the action of the moving component 4. The limiting component 5 then restricts the placement plate 3 to a certain position to prevent it from falling outside the storage space. At this time, workers can place the concrete specimens on the placement plate 3. After the specimens are placed, the placement plate 3 is pushed, and under the action of the moving component 4, it extends into the storage space, thus achieving the storage and curing of the concrete specimens. Alternatively, workers can remove the placement plate 3 from the placement rack 2, place the concrete specimens on the placement plate 3, attach one side of the placement plate 3 to the placement rack 2, and then push the placement plate 3 into the storage space, also achieving the storage and curing of the concrete specimens. The moving component 4 allows the placement plate 3 to move within the storage space, facilitating the placement of concrete specimens; simultaneously, the limiting component 5 restricts the position of the placement plate 3, preventing it from falling outside the storage space.
[0046] In some embodiments of this disclosure, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 The movable component 4 includes a movable support 41 and multiple movable wheels 42. The multiple movable wheels 42 are rotatably connected to the side of the placement plate 3 near the placement rack 2. The movable support 41 is mounted on the placement rack 2. The placement plate 3 is in a moving state, and in the moving state, the movable wheels 42 move on the movable support 41. Specifically, when it is necessary to pull the placement plate 3 out or extend it into the storage space, the movable placement plate 3 moves, and the movement of the placement plate 3 drives the movable wheels 42 to move. The movable wheels 42 move on the movable support 41, thereby achieving the purpose of driving the placement plate 3 to move within the storage space.
[0047] As an example, see Figure 2 The placement plate 3 has multiple sets of moving components 4 along its length; the moving wheels 42 of adjacent moving components 4 are connected to each other. With this configuration, when the placement plate 3 moves, multiple moving components 4 can move together, so that the placement plate 3 can move smoothly within the storage space, preventing the concrete specimens from colliding and being damaged due to differences in movement at different positions of the placement plate 3.
[0048] In some embodiments of this disclosure, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 The movable wheel 42 includes multiple first wheels 421 and second wheels 422; the multiple first wheels 421 are rotatably connected to the side of the placement plate 3 near the placement rack 2; the second wheels 422 are rotatably connected to the side of the placement plate 3 near the placement rack 2, wherein, along the direction of movement of the placement plate 3 pulling out the storage space, the second wheels 422 are located after the first wheels 421, and the limiting component 5 is used to limit the second wheels 422.
[0049] Understandably, when the placement plate 3 is pulled out of the storage space, the limiting component 5 can limit the second wheel 422 when it approaches the limiting component 5 to prevent the placement plate 3 from continuing to move forward. This can effectively prevent the placement plate 3 from falling out of the storage space, ensuring the safety of the staff and preventing the concrete specimen from falling out due to the placement plate 3 being pulled out too much.
[0050] As an example, see Figure 2 , Figure 4The first wheel 421 includes a first disc 4211, a second disc 4212, and a first connecting post 4213. The first connecting post 4213 is rotatably connected to the side of the placement plate 3 near the placement frame 2, and the axial direction of the first connecting post 4213 is perpendicular to the length direction of the movable bracket 41. The first disc 4211 and the second disc 4212 are respectively connected to the two ends of the connecting post. The placement plate 3 is in an installed state. In the installed state, the first disc 4211 is in contact with one side of the movable bracket 41, the second disc 4212 is in contact with the other side of the movable bracket 41, and the first connecting post 4213 forms a first distance with the top surface of the movable bracket 41.
[0051] As an example, see Figure 3 , Figure 4 The second wheel 422 includes a third disc 4221, a fourth disc 4222, and a second connecting post 4223. The second connecting post 4223 is rotatably connected to the side of the placement plate 3 near the placement frame 2, and the axis of the second connecting post 4223 is perpendicular to the length direction of the movable bracket 41. The third disc 4221 and the fourth disc 4222 are respectively connected to the two ends of the second connecting post 4223. The placement plate 3 is in an installed state. In the installed state, the third disc 4221 is in contact with one side of the movable bracket 41, the fourth disc 4222 is in contact with the other side of the movable bracket 41, and the second connecting post 4223 forms a second distance with the top surface of the movable bracket 41. The first distance is greater than the second distance.
[0052] In some embodiments of this disclosure, see Figure 2 , Figure 4 The limiting component 5 includes a limiting post 51 and a limiting spring 52. The limiting post 51 is slidably connected to the movable bracket 41 via the limiting spring 52, and the movement direction of the limiting post 51 is perpendicular to the movement direction of the placement plate 3. The placement plate 3 has a restricted state, in which the limiting post 51 contacts the second connecting post 4223. Specifically, after the placement plate 3 moves to a certain position, since the first connecting post 4213 is at a first distance from the top surface of the movable bracket 41, and the second connecting post 4223 is at a second distance from the top surface of the movable bracket 41, the first distance is greater than the second distance. This allows the portion of the placement plate 3 corresponding to the first wheel 421 to pass through. When the second wheel 422 passes through, the second connecting post 4223 on the second wheel 422 will contact and press against it, thereby restricting the movement of the placement plate 3.
[0053] Furthermore, if the staff applies a larger pulling force again, the limiting post 51 will move and will not contact the second connecting post 4223. At this time, the placement plate 3 can continue to move within the storage space, thereby achieving the purpose of removing the placement plate 3 from the storage space.
[0054] As an example, at least two sets of limiting components 5 are provided; at least two sets of limiting components 5 are provided along the width direction of the movable bracket 41. This arrangement can improve the limiting effect on the placement plate 3.
[0055] In some embodiments of this disclosure, an operating handle 6 is provided on one side of the placement plate 3. The operating handle 6 provided on one side of the placement plate 3 makes it easier for workers to pull the placement plate 3 out or put it into the storage space, thus improving the ease of use of the maintenance rack.
[0056] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the placement rack 2, placement plate 3, movable support 41, and movable wheels 42 are all made of stainless steel. It is understood that concrete specimens have a certain degree of moisture, and if they come into contact with the curing rack, it may cause corrosion to the curing rack, affecting its service life. By making the placement rack 2, placement plate 3, movable support 41, and movable wheels 42 of stainless steel, corrosion of the curing rack can be reduced, and subsequent cleaning of the curing rack is also facilitated.
[0057] Other embodiments of this disclosure will readily occur to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the specification and practice of the invention disclosed herein. This application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of this disclosure that follow the general principles of this disclosure and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not disclosed herein. The specification and examples are to be considered exemplary only, and the true scope and spirit of this disclosure are indicated by the appended claims.
