Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the context of the booming development of modern civil engineering construction, the accurate testing of the mechanical properties of concrete, as a core building material, is crucial. Pressure sensors, as key equipment for acquiring stress data from concrete specimens, have their fixing structure design directly affecting the reliability and accuracy of test results. With infrastructure construction moving towards super high-rise and large-span structures, and the widespread application of new materials such as high-performance concrete and self-compacting concrete, higher demands are placed on the accuracy, stability, and adaptability of pressure sensor fixing structures.

[0003] Currently, the fixing techniques for pressure sensors on concrete specimens mostly employ mechanical clamping and adhesive bonding. Mechanical clamping structures typically use bolts, clamps, or other components to fix the sensor to the specimen surface, with the clamping achieved by adjusting the bolt tightness. Adhesive bonding uses high-strength adhesives to directly attach the sensor to the specimen surface or into a pre-embedded groove. Both methods are relatively simple to operate and can meet some routine testing needs.

[0004] In existing technologies, some mechanical clamping structures are affected by factors such as bolt tightness and clamp material aging. During long-term monitoring or high-frequency vibration tests, the sensors are prone to loosening or shifting, resulting in data acquisition distortion. This seriously restricts the accuracy and reliability of concrete mechanical property testing. Therefore, a pressure sensor fixing structure for concrete specimens is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0033] The fixing mechanism 6 includes a fixing plate 62, which provides a mounting carrier for the motor 63 and the transmission assembly 65. Its rigid structure ensures stable force transmission during the transmission process. The fixing plate 62 is externally fixed to the outside of the worktable 1. The motor 63 is externally fixed to the fixing plate 62. The motor 63 drives the transmission wheel 64 to rotate by outputting a stable torque, providing power for the positioning and installation of the pressure sensor.

The driving end of the motor 54 is fixedly connected to the transmission link 57, which converts the rotational motion of the motor 54 into linear motion or oscillation. It is connected to the transmission link 55, and the transmission link 55 is rotatably connected to both sides inside the transmission link 57. The transmission link 55 moves under the drive of the transmission link 57, transmitting force to the limiting plate 53, causing the limiting plate 56 to move. 3. Slide on slide bar 52.

[0036] The protective mechanism 4 includes a slide 42, which provides a track for the sliding of the baffle 41, allowing the baffle 41 to move flexibly outside the workbench 1, thus enabling the protective mechanism 4 to be deployed and retracted. The slide 42 is externally fixedly connected to the outside of the workbench 1. During the test, the baffle 41 blocks concrete debris from splashing, protecting the safety of operators and equipment. The baffle 41 is slidably connected inside the slide 42. Two pull columns 44 are fixedly connected to the top of the baffle 41. The pull columns 44 facilitate the operator to pull the baffle 41 and make it slide inside the slide 42.

The baffle 41 is externally fixedly connected to a fixing buckle 43, which assists the locking column 45 in fixing the baffle 41. The fixing buckle 43 is externally slidably connected to the outside of the slide 42.

[0037] Four support columns 2 are fixedly connected to the top of the workbench 1. The support columns 2 are used to connect the workbench 1 to the support plate 3 to form a stable frame structure to bear the pressure on the specimen and the weight of other components during the test. The support plate 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the support columns 2. The support plate 3 provides an installation platform for the cylinder 8. The external of the support plate 3 is fixedly connected to a limiting ring 9. The limiting ring 9 is used to limit and fix the cylinder 8 to ensure that the cylinder 8 remains vertical during operation, so that the pressing column 7 can accurately apply pressure to the concrete specimen. The cylinder 8 is fixedly connected inside the limiting ring 9. The driving end of the cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to the pressing column 7. The pressing column 7 is used to directly contact the concrete specimen and transmit the thrust of the cylinder 8 to the specimen.

[0038] Working principle: The concrete specimen is placed on the workbench 1. If the test environment requires protection, the baffle 41 is pulled. The protective mechanism 4 is unfolded by sliding the baffle 41 in the slide groove 42. The position is adjusted by sliding the fixing buckle 43 on the slide groove 42. When the baffle 41 reaches the appropriate position, it is locked by locking column 45 to achieve protection of the test area and prevent concrete debris from splashing during the test, which may affect the safety of the operator and equipment. The pull column 44 makes it easier for the operator to pull the baffle 41, making the operation more convenient.

[0039] Motor 1 54 drives transmission link 2 57 to rotate. Transmission link 1 55, which is rotatably connected to both sides inside transmission link 2 57, moves with the rotation of transmission link 2 57. The other end of transmission link 1 55 drives limiting plate 1 53 to slide on slide bar 52. Limiting plate 1 53 and limiting plate 2 56 limit and fix the concrete specimen from different directions to prevent the specimen from displacing during subsequent tests and ensure the accuracy and stability of the test.

[0040] Motor 63 drives transmission wheel 64 to rotate. When transmission wheel 64 rotates, transmission ring 651 starts to rotate outside fixed plate 62. During the rotation of transmission ring 651, fixed plate 653 rotates under the support of fixed column 652. Fixed plate 653 rotates around fixed column 652, causing pressure sensor 61 to slide along the sliding track outside fixed plate 653, ensuring that pressure sensor is accurately installed at the corresponding position of the specimen, and realizing accurate measurement of specimen pressure.

[0041] After the pressure sensor is installed and fixed, and the specimen is also fixed by the stabilizing mechanism 5, the cylinder 8 inside the external limiting and fixing ring 9 of the support plate 3 is activated. The driving end of the cylinder 8 drives the downward pressure column 7 to move downward, applying pressure to the concrete specimen and starting the pressure test.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
