Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of concrete mixing and conveying technology, specifically to a steel fiber intelligent metering and conveying system for concrete. Background Technology

[0002] To improve concrete performance, randomly distributed short steel fibers are incorporated into ordinary concrete according to specific mix proportions. These randomly distributed steel fibers effectively inhibit the propagation of microcracks within the concrete and the formation of macrocracks, significantly improving the tensile, flexural, impact, and fatigue properties of the concrete, while also exhibiting good ductility. Compared to ordinary concrete, the main difference in steel fiber reinforced concrete lies in its significantly improved tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact resistance. Furthermore, the durability of steel fiber reinforced concrete is greatly enhanced, particularly in terms of crack resistance, fatigue resistance, and seismic resistance.

[0003] However, when preparing steel fibers in large quantities, it is necessary to prepare the steel fibers in batches. Each preparation requires manual quantitative addition of steel fibers, which is labor-intensive, has a measurement error of >10%, and the steel fibers are prone to clumping, which will also affect the dispersion effect of the steel fibers.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design an intelligent metering and conveying system for steel fibers used in concrete to solve the problems of high labor intensity, large errors, and easy clumping of steel fibers in existing technologies. Utility Model Content

The redirecting roller is installed at both ends of the frame, the herringbone conveyor belt is fitted onto the redirecting roller, the drive motor is connected to and drives the redirecting roller on one side, and the sealing cover covers the frame and the herringbone conveyor belt.

[0010] Specifically, the weighing section includes a steel fiber scale, a support frame, a weighing sensor, and a vibrating screen. The upper part of the steel fiber scale is a conical cavity, and the lower part of the steel fiber scale is a rectangular cavity. The conical cavity and the rectangular cavity are connected.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0026] like Figures 1-10 As shown, a steel fiber intelligent metering and conveying system for concrete includes a feeding section 1, a storage hopper 2, a belt conveyor 3, and a weighing section 4. The output end of the feeding section 1 is connected to the top inlet of the storage hopper 2, the bottom outlet of the storage hopper 2 is connected to the input end of the belt conveyor 3, and the output end of the belt conveyor 3 is connected to the top inlet of the weighing section 4.

[0027] The feeding section 1 includes a feeding platform 1.1 and a lifting device 1.2. The feeding platform 1.1 consists of a ladder, a platform, and a guardrail. The feeding platform 1.1 is used by workers to operate the lifting device 1.2 to lift the bagged steel fibers to the top of the storage hopper 2. The lifting device 1.2 consists of an electric hoist and a remote control. The upper part of the lifting device 1.2 is equipped with a bracket 4.2 and a track 1.3. The bracket 4.2 and the track 1.3 are used to install the lifting device 1.2. Workers can operate the remote control on the feeding platform 1.1 to control the lifting device 1.2 to lift the bagged steel fibers.

[0028] The storage hopper 2 is equipped with a blade assembly 2.1 and an adjusting gate 2.2. The bagged steel fibers are lifted to the top of the storage hopper 2 by the feeding device. The bagged steel fibers are broken by the blade assembly 2.1. The broken steel fibers are temporarily stored in the storage hopper 2. The adjusting gate 2.2 is controlled by cylinders on both sides to open and close the gate. The adjusting gate 2.2 is used to control the discharge amount of steel fibers.

[0029] The belt conveyor 3 consists of a frame 3.1, a herringbone conveyor belt 3.2, a drive motor 3.3, a guide chute 3.6, a redirecting roller 3.4, and a sealing cover 3.5. The belt conveyor 3 is used to transport steel fibers from the storage hopper 2 to the steel fiber weighing section 4 for temporary storage. The steel fiber conveyor belt 3.2 is a herringbone conveyor belt 3.2, which is used to prevent the steel fibers from slipping. The steel fibers on the herringbone conveyor belt 3.2 are transported to the guide chute 3.6, which is located in the weighing section. Above 4, the belt conveyor 3 uses a variable frequency motor. The belt conveyor 3 can automatically start and stop according to the amount of material stored in the weighing section 4. It can also calculate the feeding speed of the belt conveyor 3 according to production needs. The calculation formula is V=K×(Wt / p×L), where V=the rotation speed of the belt conveyor 3, K=the correction coefficient (generally taken as 1.5), Wt=the target feeding amount, p=the fiber density, and L=the effective length of the belt conveyor 3. The belt conveyor 3 adopts a sealed cover 3.5 structure throughout the entire process. The sealed cover 3.5 can effectively prevent the steel fibers from scattering.

[0030] The weighing section 4 includes a steel fiber scale 4.1, a support 4.2, a load cell, and a vibrating screen 4.3. The steel fiber scale 4.1 consists of a rectangular cavity and a conical cavity, with the conical cavity positioned above the rectangular cavity. The flared design of the conical cavity prevents steel fibers from spilling during feeding from the steel fiber conveyor belt. The steel fiber scale 4.1 is connected to the support 4.2 via a load cell. This weighing scale is a subtraction scale and can achieve dual weighing modes: dynamic weighing mode and static weighing mode. When the belt conveyor 3 feeds material, it operates in static weighing mode, and when the weighing scale unloads material, it operates in dynamic weighing mode. The vibrating screen 4.3 is connected to the steel fiber scale 4.1 via a spring assembly. The vibrating screen 4.3 is used to effectively solve the problem of steel fiber clumping.
