Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of concrete testing, and in particular to a concrete permeability tester with airtightness self-testing function. Background Technology

[0002] A permeability tester is an instrument used to test the permeability of building materials (such as concrete, mortar, and brickwork). It simulates a water pressure environment to detect the material's permeability and assess its waterproof durability. The HS-4 permeability tester is mainly used for testing the permeability of concrete and determining its permeability grade. It can also be used to determine the air permeability of building materials and for quality inspection, thus it is widely used in production, construction, design, education, and research fields in China.

[0003] In existing equipment, concrete test blocks are placed in a bucket-like container on the workbench during testing. A pressurized water pump inside the cabinet performs permeability testing on the concrete. However, due to the model's design, the bucket is connected to the workbench via a flange. After prolonged use, aging and other phenomena inevitably occur, leading to a decrease in its sealing performance and thus inaccurate test results. To solve this problem, an airtightness test needs to be performed before testing to ensure accuracy. Utility Model Content

[0004] To improve the accuracy of testing, this application provides a concrete permeability tester with airtightness self-testing function.

[0005] The concrete permeability tester with airtightness self-testing function provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A concrete permeability tester with airtightness self-testing function includes a permeability test chamber, a placement cylinder, and a testing component. The top of the permeability test chamber is provided with several connecting seats. Several placement cylinders are arranged on the permeability test chamber, with each placement cylinder corresponding to one of the connecting seats. The bottom end of each placement cylinder is open and connected to a connecting flange. The connecting flange is connected to the corresponding connecting seat by bolts. A cylinder cover is rotatably connected to the top opening of each placement cylinder, and the cylinder cover is provided with a connecting buckle for connecting to the placement cylinder. The testing component includes a water tank, a water pump, a water pipe, and a connecting branch pipe. The water tank is disposed in the permeability test chamber. One end of the water pipe is connected to the water tank, and a connecting branch pipe is connected to the water pipe. The connecting branch pipe is connected to the connecting seat and communicates with the inner cavity of the placement cylinder.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when testing the sealing performance of the connecting seat and the placement cylinder, the cylinder cover is placed over the top opening of the placement cylinder, and a connecting clip is used to connect the placement cylinder and the cylinder cover. The water pump is started, and water from the water tank is injected into the placement cylinder. By observing whether there is liquid leakage between the connecting seat and the placement cylinder, the sealing performance of the device is tested. Through the cooperation of the anti-seepage tank, the placement cylinder, and the testing components, the sealing effect of the connection between the placement cylinder and the connecting seat is tested, which improves the accuracy of the test.

[0008] Optionally, the anti-seepage tank is connected to a plurality of test hoods, and the plurality of test hoods are arranged one-to-one with a plurality of placement cylinders. The placement cylinders and the corresponding connecting seats are placed in the corresponding test hoods. The test hoods are made of transparent material. A carbon dioxide cylinder is arranged next to the anti-seepage tank. A gas supply manifold is connected to the carbon dioxide cylinder. A plurality of connecting pipes are connected to the gas supply manifold. The plurality of connecting pipes correspond one-to-one with the plurality of test hoods and are connected. A gas supply valve is arranged on the gas supply manifold. Clear limewater is injected into the water tank.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, during testing, carbon dioxide gas is injected into the transparent detection hood through the gas supply manifold and connecting pipe. When leakage occurs between the connecting seat and the connecting flange, the clear lime water comes into contact with the carbon dioxide gas, producing a turbid liquid in the detection hood, which makes it easier for operators to observe.

[0010] Optionally, the detection cover has several ventilation holes on its peripheral wall, and a sealing ring is slidably fitted on the outside of the detection cover. The sealing ring has several connecting holes. When the sealing ring is flush with the detection cover, the ventilation holes and the connecting holes are staggered. When the sealing ring moves up to a certain position, the ventilation holes and the connecting holes correspond one-to-one and are connected.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when testing the sealing performance of the device, the connecting holes and vent holes are staggered, and the sealing ring effectively blocks the vent holes. After the test is completed, the sealing ring is moved upwards, at which point the connecting holes and vent holes are connected. This allows the interior of the testing cover to communicate with the external environment, reducing the possibility of corrosion damage to the placement cylinder, connecting seat, and connecting flange due to excessive moisture inside the testing cover, thus helping to extend the service life of the device.

[0012] Optionally, the detection cover is provided with a connecting assembly, which includes a connecting plate, a connecting pin, and a mounting plate. The connecting plate is vertically connected to the top end of the sealing ring, and the connecting pin horizontally passes through the connecting plate and is slidably connected to it. The mounting plate is vertically connected to the top end of the detection cover, and the mounting plate has two mounting holes along the vertical direction. When the connecting pin is inserted into the lower mounting hole, the connecting hole and the vent hole are staggered. When the connecting pin is inserted into the upper mounting hole, the connecting hole and the vent hole are connected.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, during testing, the connecting pin is inserted into the lower mounting hole, with the connecting hole and vent hole staggered. When the connecting pin is inserted into the upper mounting hole, the sealing ring moves upward, connecting the connecting hole and vent hole, thus fixing the sealing ring.

[0014] Optionally, a ventilation branch pipe is connected to the detection cover, and a ventilation fan is installed next to the impermeable box. The ventilation branch pipe is connected to the ventilation fan.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, after completing the sealing test, the sealing ring is moved to the position corresponding to the connecting hole and the vent hole, the ventilation fan is started, and air is blown into the test cover through the ventilation branch pipe to dry it, which further reduces the possibility of the inside of the test cover being affected by water vapor.

[0016] Optionally, the top of the cylinder cover is provided with an exhaust pipe, which is connected to the inner cavity of the placement cylinder, and the top of the exhaust pipe is provided with an exhaust valve.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the exhaust pipe and exhaust valve can ensure that the liquid in the placement cylinder can fill the entire placement cylinder, thus realizing the detection of the sealing performance of the cylinder cover and placement cylinder.

[0018] Optionally, the bottom surface of the cylinder cover is provided with a sealing ring-shaped airbag, which abuts against the inner ring wall at the top of the placement cylinder.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the sealing ring airbag design further improves the sealing performance between the cylinder cover and the placement cylinder.

[0020] Optionally, a sealing ring is coaxially provided on the bottom surface of the cylinder cover, and an installation ring groove is provided on the outer ring wall of the sealing ring. The sealing ring-shaped airbag is disposed in the installation airbag. A sealing cone surface is provided on the outer ring wall at the top of the sealing ring, and an abutting cone surface is provided circumferentially on the inner ring wall at the top of the placement cylinder. When the cylinder cover is connected to the top of the placement cylinder, the abutting cone surface and the sealing cone surface are pressed together.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the sealing ring and the sealing ring-shaped airbag cooperate with each other through soft and hard sealing to seal the cylinder cover and the placement cylinder, which helps to extend the service life of the sealing ring-shaped airbag.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. Through the cooperation of the anti-seepage box, the placement cylinder, and the detection components, the sealing effect of the connection between the placement cylinder and the connecting seat can be detected, which improves the detection accuracy.

[0024] 2. The sealing ring reduces the possibility of corrosion damage to the placement cylinder, connecting seat, and connecting flange due to excessive moisture inside the detection cover, thus helping to extend the service life of the device;

[0025] 3. The installation of a ventilation fan further reduces the possibility of moisture affecting the inside of the detection hood. Attached Figure Description
