Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of concrete sample testing technology, and in particular to a device for testing the compressive strength of concrete samples. Background Technology
[0002] Concrete specimens are crucial for evaluating the mechanical properties of concrete materials. Compressive strength, as a core indicator for concrete structure design and quality acceptance, directly depends on the performance of the concrete specimen compressive strength testing device. In fields such as building construction and water conservancy engineering, applying pressure to standard-sized concrete specimens until they fail using a testing device to obtain the maximum pressure the specimen can withstand, and then converting this pressure into the concrete's compressive strength, is a vital step in ensuring the safety of engineering structures and the quality of materials. Therefore, the stability, positioning accuracy, and operational safety of the testing device are crucial to the reliability of the test results.
[0003] When testing concrete samples using testing equipment, we found that traditional equipment often relies on manual placement or simple mechanical guidance, making it difficult to ensure that the sample is in the exact center of the upper and lower pressure plates. This results in uneven stress on the sample during the pressurization process, which not only affects the accuracy of the test data but may also cause non-standard failure modes due to local stress concentration, thus reducing the reference value of the test results.

[0020] In this embodiment, the centering mechanism 7 includes a connecting plate 701, a pushing assembly 702, multiple driven gears 704, a transmission gear ring 705, a driving gear 706, a reduction motor 707, multiple threaded rods 708, and a protective cover 709.

The lower ends of the multiple driven gears 704 are rotatably connected to the upper part of the support plate 3. The outer circumference of the threaded rods 708 is threadedly connected to the middle part of the driven gears 704, and multiple... The lower end of the threaded rod 708 passes through the support plate 3 and is fixedly connected to the upper part of the connecting plate 701. A protective cover 709 is installed on the upper part of the support plate 3 and covers the outer periphery of multiple driven gears 704. A transmission gear ring 705 is rotatably connected to the upper part of the protective cover 709. The outer periphery of the multiple driven gears 704 meshes with the inner side of the transmission gear ring 705. A driving gear 706 is rotatably connected to the inner top wall of the protective cover 709. A reduction motor 707 is installed on the upper part of the protective cover 709. The output end passes through the protective cover 709 and is fixedly connected to the middle of the drive gear 706. The outer periphery of the drive gear 706 meshes with the inner sidewall of the transmission gear ring 705. The pushing assembly 702 includes four connecting rods 7021, four pushing rods 7022, four crossbeams 7023, four sliding sleeves 7024, and four limiting rings 7026. The middle of the sliding sleeve 7024 is slidably connected to the outer periphery of the column 2, and the middle of two adjacent sliding sleeves 7024 is fixedly connected to both ends of the crossbeam 7023. The four crossbeams 7023... Forming a rectangle, the upper end of the push rod 7022 is rotatably connected to the middle of the crossbeam 7023, the upper end of the push rod 7022 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the connecting rod 7021, the upper end of the connecting rod 7021 is rotatably connected to the middle of the four sides of the connecting plate 701, the left and right sides of the crossbeam 7023 are provided with connecting frames 7027, the upper end of the connecting frame 7027 is installed at the left and right ends of the limit roller 7028, the limit roller 7028 abuts against the lower inner side of the connecting rod 7021, and the lower part of the support plate 3 is equipped with a limit switch 703.
[0021] Specifically, the geared motor 707 drives the drive gear 706 to rotate. The drive gear 706 meshes with the inner wall of the transmission gear ring 705, causing the transmission gear ring 705 to rotate on the upper part of the protective cover 709, which in turn drives the multiple driven gears 704 meshing with it to rotate synchronously.

The sliding sleeve 7024 is blocked by the limiting ring 7026 and cannot continue to move forward. Then the connecting rod 7021 continues to move down. The connecting plate 701 pushes the pushing rod 7022 to rotate around the middle of the crossbeam 7023 through the connecting rod 7021. The roller 7025 at the lower end of the pushing rod 7022 approaches the sample from four directions and pushes it to the center position.

A cabinet door 8 is provided at the front end of the protective cabinet 9.
[0023] Specifically, the protective cabinet 9 and the cabinet door 8 form a closed pressurized testing space, which isolates external interference and prevents debris from flying during processing and causing injury to operators, thus improving overall safety.
[0024] Working principle:
[0025] After the concrete sample is placed on the lower pressure plate 6, the centering mechanism 7 is activated, and the reduction motor 707 drives the drive gear 706 to rotate. The drive gear 706 meshes with the inner wall of the transmission gear ring 705, causing the transmission gear ring 705 to rotate on the upper part of the protective cover 709, which in turn drives the multiple driven gears 704 meshing with it to rotate synchronously. The driven gears 704 are threadedly connected to the threaded rod 708, and their rotation causes the threaded rod 708 to drive the connecting plate 701 to move up and down. When moving down, the pushing component 702 moves downward under the push of gravity and the connecting plate 701, sliding... Sleeve 7024 is blocked by limit ring 7026 and cannot move forward. Then, connecting rod 7021 continues to move downward. Connecting plate 701 pushes push rod 7022 to rotate around the middle of crossbeam 7023 via connecting rod 7021. Roller 7025 at the lower end of push rod 7022 approaches the sample from four directions and pushes it to the center position. Finally, centering mechanism 7 resets. Then, hydraulic rod 4 pushes upper pressure plate 5 downward, which, together with lower pressure plate 6, applies pressure to the sample. Pressure sensor monitors pressure value in real time, and finally the compressive strength test of concrete sample is completed.
