Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of concrete curing technology, specifically to a prestressed duct temperature and humidity monitoring and heating device. Background Technology
[0002] Prestressed beams are typically constructed using the post-tensioning method, which, in contrast to the pre-tensioning method, involves pouring concrete first, and then tensioning the prestressing steel after the concrete has reached at least 75% of its design strength to form a prestressed concrete member. The pre-tensioning method, on the other hand, involves tensioning the prestressing steel first, followed by pouring concrete. This method is more suitable for precast components; cast-in-place components are often constructed using the post-tensioning method.
[0003] During winter construction of concrete, if the ambient temperature is very low after the prestressed beam is tensioned, grouting is risky, as the grout material is easily frozen, leading to cracks along the prestressing ducts in the beam. Therefore, monitoring the temperature of the prestressing ducts during winter construction is crucial. Firstly, it allows for determining the timing of grouting operations; if the duct temperature is low, grouting should be avoided or the grout should be heated before grouting. Secondly, the temperature change of the grout should be monitored for the first two days after grouting to prevent premature freezing. If the temperature drops sharply after grouting, measures should be taken to heat the grout. Currently, there is a lack of devices for monitoring the temperature and humidity inside the prestressing ducts and for heating them; therefore, it is necessary to improve existing technologies. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0016] The following is a detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention in a step-by-step manner. This description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0017] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or a specific orientational structure and operation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.
[0018] The following embodiments can be understood as explaining a part of the structure of the present invention individually, or as a combination of multiple embodiments used to illustrate a larger scope of the construction of the present invention.
[0019] Example 1: A prestressed duct temperature and humidity monitoring and heating device, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the device includes a prestressing tendon 4 for passing through a prestressing duct 1. Multiple annular bases 10 are fixedly connected to the prestressing tendon 4. Temperature and humidity sensors 11 are embedded in the side surface of each annular base 10. An outer annular heat-conducting plate 6 is coaxially fixedly connected to the outer surface of each annular base 10. Heating wires 8 are connected between the outer annular heat-conducting plates 6 of adjacent annular bases 10. The heating wires 8 are electrically connected to a power source outside the prestressing duct 1 via wires. A control panel (not shown in the figure) for controlling the heating of the heating wires 8 is also provided on the wires. A display (not shown in the figure) is connected to the temperature and humidity sensors 11 via wires. The display is located outside the prestressing duct 1.
[0020] In this embodiment, a temperature and humidity sensor is used to detect the temperature and humidity information within the prestressed duct and display it on a monitor. Workers select an appropriate grouting time based on the temperature and humidity within the prestressed duct, or activate the heating wire to heat it to a suitable temperature before grouting. Within two days after grouting, the heating wire can be activated again to heat the filling block formed by the grout within the prestressed duct, even at low temperatures, thereby ensuring the quality of the prestressed duct grouting. After formation, apart from the wires, monitor, control panel, and power supply outside the prestressed duct, other components are pre-embedded as consumables within the component.
[0021] Example 2: like Figure 1-3 As shown, the annular base 10 is made of insulating material, and the outer annular heat-conducting plate 6 is made of metallic heat-conducting material. The axial width of the outer annular heat-conducting plate 6 is greater than the axial width of the annular base 10. The outer surface of the annular base 10 is tightly attached to and fixedly connected to the inner surface of the outer annular heat-conducting plate 6.
[0022] Example 3: like Figure 1 As shown, the heating wire 8 has a spiral structure (such as a spiral spring) and is sleeved on the outer periphery of the prestressed tendon 4. The two ends of the heating wire 8 are respectively connected to the corresponding outer annular heat-conducting plate 6. The outer surface of the outer annular heat-conducting plate 6 and the outer surface of the heating wire are both insulated. Multiple first fin heat sinks 7 are also evenly distributed on the outer periphery of the outer annular heat-conducting plate 6.
[0023] Example 4: like Figure 2 As shown, the first fin heat sink 7 has a plate-type structure.
[0024] Example 5: like Figure 3 As shown, the first fin heat sink 7 is a plate structure folded into an arc shape, which can increase the heat dissipation area.
[0025] Example 6: like Figure 1 As shown, the heating wire 8 is also evenly distributed with several second fin heat dissipation fins 9.
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the second fin heat sink 9 has a triangular plate-shaped structure.
[0027] Example 7: like Figure 2 , 3As shown, the inner surface of the annular base 10 is provided with an inner annular heat-conducting plate 13. The inner annular heat-conducting plate 13 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the prestressing tendon 4 through a telescopic mechanism. The inner annular heat-conducting plate 13 and the outer annular heat-conducting plate 6 are connected on the same side edge through a heat-conducting connecting plate 14.
[0028] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the telescopic mechanism includes an arc-shaped pressure plate 18, a sleeve 15, a first screw 16, and a second screw 17 made of thermally conductive metal material. The first screw 16 and the second screw 17 are arranged opposite to each other along the radial direction of the inner annular heat-conducting plate 13. The inner wall of the sleeve 15 is provided with internal threads in opposite directions. The ends of the first screw 16 and the second screw 17 away from the sleeve 15 are respectively fixedly connected to the inner surface of the inner annular heat-conducting plate 13 and the middle of the outer surface of the arc-shaped pressure plate 18. The opposite ends of the first screw 16 and the second screw 17 are screwed to both ends of the sleeve 15. When the sleeve 15 is rotated, the first screw 16 and the second screw 17 move simultaneously away from or towards the sleeve 15. The arc-shaped pressure plate 18 is used in conjunction with the outer surface of the prestressing tendon 14. There are at least two telescopic mechanisms, and the two telescopic mechanisms are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the prestressing tendon 4.
[0029] In use, an appropriate number of annular bases are selected according to the length of the prestressing tendon. The annular bases and heating wires are sleeved on the outer circumference of the prestressing tendon. The annular bases are connected to the prestressing tendon through a telescopic mechanism. That is, by rotating the sleeve, the arc-shaped pressure plate is pressed tightly against the surface of the prestressing tendon, thus fixing the annular bases. The wires connecting the temperature and humidity sensor and the wires connecting the heating wires are passed through the pre-set wiring holes 12 on the annular bases. Then, the prestressing tendon is inserted into the prestressing duct. The wires pass through the holes 5 reserved in the anchoring cover plate 3. During the prestressing tensioning process, the heating wires will elongate to a certain extent. Due to their spiral structure, they can fully adapt to the tensioning elongation of the prestressing tendon. After tensioning, before grouting, the temperature and humidity in the prestressing duct 1 are detected in real time by the temperature and humidity sensor. Grouting is carried out at a time with suitable temperature and humidity, or the grouting is carried out after heating with the heating wires. Within two days after grouting, if the temperature is too low, the heating wires can be activated to heat the formed parts in the prestressing duct, thereby ensuring the effect of grouting and forming of the prestressing duct. Once the prestressed component in the prestressed duct reaches the preset strength, the wire can be cut.
