Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of building material testing technology, specifically relating to a device for detecting the expansion rate of self-curing linear expansion of reinforcing crack-resistant agents. Background Technology
[0002] Crack-resistant enhancers are primarily used to improve the crack resistance of cement mortar and concrete. By being added internally, they enhance the structure's self-waterproofing properties and solve plaster cracking problems, and are now widely used in construction, bridges, and highways. This product works through a dual physical and chemical process, forming a three-dimensional structure that slows moisture evaporation and reduces shrinkage and settlement, thereby lowering the risk of cracking while simultaneously improving impermeability, freeze-thaw resistance, and earthquake resistance.
[0003] According to JC / T313 "Test Method for Expansion Rate of Expansive Cement", the expansion rate testing process of the crack-resistant agent product line is highly dependent on equipment such as measuring nail heads and length comparators. On the one hand, measurement errors are caused by reasons such as corrosion, wear, and loose fixing of the testing nail heads. On the other hand, the test data is unstable and unrepresentative due to environmental temperature and humidity and improper human operation. Therefore, improving the testing efficiency and accuracy is particularly important for the research and development and production of crack-resistant agent products.
[0004] Chinese invention patent application CN115407055A discloses a concrete shrinkage and expansion detector, specifically comprising: a base, a lead screw and multiple guide columns mounted on the base, a sample placement seat horizontally movably mounted on the lead screw and guide columns, and a detection chamber fixed on the base and located above the sample placement seat; wherein the sample placement seat includes a base mounted on the lead screw and multiple guide columns, a heating groove and a sample groove spaced apart on the base; wherein the base is mounted on the lead screw via a lead screw nut seat, and the lead screw is driven by a lead screw motor to move the sample placement seat horizontally on the lead screw and guide columns. This patent claims that by utilizing multiple horizontally symmetrically mounted horizontal distance measuring instruments within the detection chamber and multiple vertical distance measuring instruments mounted at the top of the detection chamber, it facilitates accurate detection of the concrete sample in both horizontal and vertical directions; furthermore, by installing a heating groove within the sample groove, it facilitates the rapid reaching of the concrete sample to its final setting state, thereby significantly improving detection efficiency.
[0005] However, the aforementioned patented technologies have problems such as inaccurate heating temperature control and inaccurate detection due to excessively fast acceleration rates. Utility Model Content

As for the height of the probe, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the detection, its setting should meet the requirement that the probe can accurately measure the distance change after the sample expands during the detection.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the self-protecting linear expansion rate detection device for reinforcing crack-resistant agents according to this utility model, the display screen further includes a control module for opening and closing the controller, and the control module is electrically connected or electrically signal connected to the controller.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the self-curing linear expansion rate detection device for reinforcing crack-resistant agents according to this utility model, the heating device includes a resistance wire, which is uniformly arranged at the bottom of the water curing tank.
[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the self-protecting linear expansion rate detection device for reinforcing crack-resistant agents according to this utility model, the heat dissipation device is a fan, and ventilation holes or ventilation slots are provided on the side wall of the device body facing the fan.

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0027] See Figure 1-2 In one specific embodiment of the utility model, a self-curing linear expansion rate testing device for reinforcing crack-resistant agents is provided, comprising: a device body 1, a water curing tank 2 set on the top of the device body for holding water and the sample to be tested, three pairs of infrared ranging probes 3 set in the side wall of the water curing tank 2, a heating device set at the bottom of the water curing tank 2, a heat dissipation device set in the device body 1, a temperature sensor 6 set in the water curing tank 2 for detecting the temperature inside the water curing tank 2, and a controller set on the device body 1 for controlling the heating device and the heat dissipation device. The controller is electrically connected to the temperature sensor 6, the heating device and the heat dissipation device respectively, and each power-required component can be electrically connected to an external power supply system through a line.
[0028] The operating principle of this device is as follows: Power is connected, and an appropriate amount of water (enough to submerge the sample) is injected into the water conditioning tank. The sample is then placed in the tank, and the heating device is activated via a controller. As the water temperature rises, the sample expands due to the heat. The corresponding distance change is recorded by an infrared ranging probe, and the linear expansion rate of the sample can be calculated. During heating, the water bath temperature is monitored in real-time based on the temperature transmitted by the temperature sensor. When the water bath temperature exceeds the detection temperature, the controller stops the heating device and activates the cooling device to lower the water bath temperature. Throughout the experiment, the heating and cooling methods can be dynamically adjusted in real-time according to temperature fluctuations, thus enabling precise control of the detection temperature and improving the accuracy of the test results within an industrial setting. Furthermore, the controller in this embodiment can be either manual or automatic. When an automatic controller is selected, the predicted temperature threshold and control mode can be pre-stored in the controller's processing module to initiate corresponding control programs based on temperature changes.
[0029] See you again Figure 1 In another specific embodiment of this utility model, the device further includes a display screen 7 disposed on the device body 1. The display screen 7 is electrically connected to the temperature sensor 6 and the infrared ranging probe 3 to display temperature data and measurement distance change data.
[0030] See you again Figure 1In another specific embodiment of this utility model, the display screen further includes a control module for turning the controller on and off. The control module is electrically connected or signal-connected to the controller. Thus, the heating and heat dissipation methods can be controlled via the control module on the display screen.
[0031] See Figure 3 In another specific embodiment of this utility model, the heating device includes a resistance wire 4, which is evenly arranged at the bottom of the water curing tank to achieve uniform heating.
[0032] See you again Figure 1 In another specific embodiment of this utility model, the heat dissipation device is a fan (not shown in the figure) and a ventilation slot 5 provided on the side wall of the device body 1. The ventilation slot 5 is on the same side as the air outlet side of the fan, so that heat dissipation can be carried out well.
