Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of concrete curing technology, specifically an automated steam curing chamber. Background Technology

[0002] Concrete curing is the process of artificially creating an environment with specific humidity and temperature conditions for concrete products, allowing freshly poured concrete to harden and strengthen normally or at an accelerated pace. The reason concrete can harden and strengthen faster is that it is cured in a heated and humidified curing kiln, which improves the quality of concrete products and increases production efficiency and capacity.

[0003] Traditional concrete curing kilns cure concrete by introducing steam, which requires a continuous supply of steam, resulting in significant energy consumption, resource waste, and reduced curing efficiency. Furthermore, the upward flow of steam into the curing chamber leads to uneven temperature distribution, affecting the overall curing quality and efficiency of the concrete products.

[0004] Chinese utility model patent CN220482062U3 discloses a curing circulation system and a curing kiln for concrete curing. The system uses a circulation mechanism to create an internal circulation of steam or heat medium within the curing chamber, ensuring uniform heat and humidity throughout the chamber, effectively improving the quality and efficiency of cured concrete products. However, in practical use, the circulating fan, as the main power source for the circulation system, concentrates the high-temperature airflow at the bottom of the curing chamber. This can lead to a short-term accumulation of abnormally high temperatures at the bottom of the chamber. Furthermore, the upward movement of the high-temperature steam requires time; if the accumulated high-temperature steam is not dissipated in time, it may negatively impact the curing quality of the concrete.

[0005] Therefore, this application provides an automated steam curing chamber to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] This application provides an automated steam curing chamber, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: an automated steam curing chamber, comprising a control system, a curing chamber, a circulation pipe connected to the curing chamber, a circulation fan installed on the circulation pipe and electrically connected to the control system, and temperature and humidity sensors fixedly installed at the top and bottom of the curing chamber and electrically connected to the control system, wherein the two ends of the circulation pipe are respectively connected to the top and bottom of the curing chamber, and the curing chamber is provided with an airflow adjustment mechanism.

[0008] The air direction adjustment mechanism includes several air inlets located on the outer side wall of the maintenance room near the bottom, opposite to the bottom of the circulation pipe. An air inlet chamber is fixedly installed on the outer side wall of the air inlet, and the port at the bottom of the circulation pipe is inserted through the air inlet chamber.

[0009] A guide frame is fixedly installed at the air inlet of the air inlet chamber. Several guide plates are rotatably installed inside the guide frame, and rotating rods are fixedly installed on the guide plates. The rotating rods are rotatably installed on the guide frame. The air inlet chamber is equipped with a drive component for adjusting the angle of the guide plates. Thus, during use, when the steam in the curing chamber is circulated through the circulation pipe and the circulation fan, the airflow enters from the circulation pipe opening at the bottom of the curing chamber. The airflow must enter through the air inlet. Adjusting the drive component on the air inlet chamber causes the guide plates to adjust their angle within the guide frame, thereby changing the angle at which the airflow enters. Furthermore, the design of the guide plates allows the airflow to be dispersed in layers upon entry, dispersing the concentrated airflow generated by the circulation fan into multi-layered turbulent flow, accelerating airflow diffusion and distribution, and preventing high heat accumulation that could affect the quality of concrete curing.

[0010] Preferably, for ease of maintenance, the air inlet chamber and the curing chamber are integrally formed, and the air inlet chamber is designed to protrude from the outer surface of the curing chamber for easy operation.

[0011] Preferably, for rapid adjustment, the driving component includes a worm gear fixedly mounted on a rotating rod and a worm rotatably mounted on a guide frame. The worm is longitudinally arranged through the air inlet chamber. A drive motor electrically connected to the control system is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the air inlet chamber. One end of the worm located outside the air inlet chamber is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor. This eliminates the need for manual operation and is highly efficient and convenient.

[0012] Preferably, in order to reduce losses, the drive motor is provided with a number of corresponding air inlets, and the drive motor is independently connected to the control system to reduce ineffective airflow loss and improve adaptability.

[0013] Preferably, in order to accelerate dispersion, the guide plates are provided with honeycomb-shaped guide holes to ensure that the steam in the curing chamber is dispersed more quickly and evenly.

[0014] Preferably, in order to improve the strength of the equipment, the guide plate has a double-layer structure. The outer layer of the guide plate is a rigid and corrosion-resistant layer made of aluminum-zinc coated steel plate, and the inner layer of the guide plate is a heat insulation layer made of ceramic fiber filling material, thereby improving the service life of the equipment.

[0015] In this steam curing chamber, when the steam inside the curing chamber is circulated through circulating pipes and circulating fans, the airflow enters from the opening of the circulating pipe at the bottom of the curing chamber. When the airflow enters the curing chamber, it needs to enter through the air inlet. Adjusting the drive component on the air inlet chamber causes the guide plate to adjust its angle within the guide frame, thereby changing the angle at which the airflow enters. Furthermore, through the design of the guide plate, the airflow is dispersed in layers upon entry, dispersing the concentrated airflow generated by the circulating fan into multi-layered turbulence, accelerating the diffusion and distribution of the airflow, and avoiding the accumulation of high heat that could affect the curing quality of the concrete.

[0016] The steam curing chamber features an independently designed drive motor that can adjust the air intake angle according to different zones within the curing chamber, reducing ineffective airflow loss and improving adaptability. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] This embodiment provides an automated steam curing room, such as Figure 1-3As shown, the steam curing chamber includes a control system 1, a curing chamber 2, a circulation pipe 3 connected to the curing chamber 2, a circulation fan 4 installed on the circulation pipe 3 and electrically connected to the control system 1, and temperature and humidity sensors 11 fixedly installed at the top and bottom of the curing chamber 2 and electrically connected to the control system 1. The two ends of the circulation pipe 3 are respectively connected to the top and bottom of the curing chamber 2, and the curing chamber 2 is equipped with an airflow adjustment mechanism 5.

[0025] The airflow adjustment mechanism 5 includes several air inlets 51 located on the outer wall of the maintenance chamber 2 near the bottom and opposite to the bottom of the circulation pipe 3. An air inlet chamber 52 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the air inlet 51, and the bottom port of the circulation pipe 3 is inserted through the air inlet chamber 52.

[0026] A guide frame 53 is fixedly installed on the air inlet 51 on the air inlet chamber 52. Several guide plates 54 are rotatably installed inside the guide frame 53. A rotating rod 55 is fixedly installed on the guide plate 54. The rotating rod 55 is rotatably installed on the guide frame 53. A drive component 56 for adjusting the angle of the guide plate 54 is provided on the air inlet chamber 52.

[0027] In use, when the steam in the curing chamber 2 is circulated through the circulation pipe 3 and the circulation fan 4, the airflow enters from the inlet of the circulation pipe 3 at the bottom of the curing chamber 2. When the airflow enters the curing chamber 2, it needs to enter through the air inlet 51. Adjusting the drive component 56 on the air inlet chamber 52 drives the guide plate 54 to adjust its angle within the guide frame 53, thereby changing the angle at which the airflow enters. Furthermore, through the design of the guide plate 54, the airflow is dispersed in layers by the guide plate 54 when it enters, dispersing the concentrated airflow generated by the circulation fan 4 into multi-layered turbulence, accelerating the diffusion and distribution of the airflow, and avoiding the accumulation of high heat that affects the quality of concrete curing.

[0028] Specifically, the air inlet chamber 52 is integrally formed with the curing chamber 2, and the air inlet chamber 52 protrudes from the outer surface of the curing chamber 2.

[0029] When in use, the protruding design of the air inlet 52 makes it easy to install and maintain equipment and facilitates operation.

[0030] More specifically, the drive component 56 includes a worm gear 561 fixedly mounted on the rotating rod 55 and a worm 562 rotatably mounted on the guide frame 53. The worm 562 is longitudinally arranged through the air inlet chamber 52. A drive motor 563 electrically connected to the control system 1 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the air inlet chamber 52. One end of the worm 562 located outside the air inlet chamber 52 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 563.

[0031] In use, the drive motor 563 is started, which drives the worm gear 562 to rotate. The worm gear 562 drives the worm wheel 561 to rotate, and the worm wheel 561 drives the guide plate 54 to rotate, thereby completing the rapid adjustment of the angle of the guide plate 54 without manual operation, which is efficient and convenient.

[0032] It is understandable that the purpose of placing the drive motor 563 outside the air inlet chamber 52 is to isolate the drive motor 563 from the influence of steam, extend the service life of the equipment, and facilitate maintenance.

[0033] Furthermore, the drive motor 563 is provided with a number of air inlets 51, and the drive motor 563 is independently connected to the control system 1.

[0034] When in use, the independently designed drive motor 563 can adjust the air intake angle according to different zones in the curing chamber 2, reducing ineffective airflow loss and improving adaptability.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] Each of the baffle plates 54 has honeycomb-shaped baffle holes 57. In use, the honeycomb baffle holes 57 can further accelerate the dispersion of the concentrated airflow, ensuring that the steam in the curing chamber 2 is dispersed more quickly and evenly.

[0037] The deflector plate 54 has a double-layer structure. The outer layer of the deflector plate 54 is a rigid corrosion-resistant layer 541 made of aluminum-zinc coated steel plate, and the inner layer of the deflector plate 54 is a heat insulation layer 542 filled with ceramic fiber.

[0038] When in use, the rigid corrosion-resistant layer 541 can effectively reduce the strong corrosive effect of high-temperature steam, and the design of the heat insulation layer 542 can reduce the deformation of the guide plate 54 under the influence of high temperature, thereby improving the service life of the equipment.

[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application, based on the technical solution and concept of this application, should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
