Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of concrete production equipment technology, and in particular to an energy-saving curing box. Background Technology

[0002] Curing chambers are widely used in the construction industry for curing concrete test blocks to ensure they reach ideal strength and performance under specific temperature and humidity conditions. By precisely controlling the curing environment, the quality and durability of concrete can be significantly improved, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of building structures.

[0003] In existing technologies, to improve the curing adaptability for different numbers of concrete test blocks, some curing boxes use fixed partitions to divide the curing space. However, in actual use, the internal space is difficult to adjust in size, making it difficult to perfectly match the size of the test blocks. This results in the extra space requiring additional energy to maintain temperature and humidity, thus increasing energy consumption. This energy waste not only increases operating costs but also has an adverse impact on environmental protection. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides an energy-saving curing box to solve the problem that the space inside the current curing box is difficult to adjust in size, which may lead to mismatch with the actual test block and thus increase energy consumption.

[0005] An energy-saving maintenance box includes: The box-shaped structure is hollow inside and can hold concrete test blocks. A control module is located on the back of the enclosure and extends into the enclosure. The control module is capable of controlling the temperature and humidity inside the enclosure. An adjusting component is provided in the housing. The adjusting component includes multiple adjusting plates. Each adjusting plate is L-shaped and includes a vertical part and a horizontal part. The vertical part is located at one end of the horizontal part along the length direction and extends upward. The other end of the horizontal part along the length direction protrudes from the housing. The adjusting plates are spaced apart in the housing along the height direction to form multiple accommodating spaces. Test blocks are placed in the accommodating spaces. The adjusting plates can move along the length direction to adjust the size of the accommodating spaces and match test blocks of different volumes.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the adjusting plate can move along its length, allowing the storage space inside the curing chamber to be adjusted according to the size of the concrete test blocks. This ensures a perfect fit between the test blocks and the storage space, avoiding unnecessary space and reducing the energy required to maintain the temperature and humidity within the chamber, thus achieving energy conservation. The control module can control the temperature and humidity inside the chamber, providing a suitable curing environment for the concrete test blocks and ensuring the curing quality. Simultaneously, the rational use of space contributes to the uniformity and stability of temperature and humidity control.

[0007] In one embodiment, the side of the housing is provided with a through hole that extends along the width direction, and the end of the horizontal portion away from the vertical portion extends out of the housing through the through hole.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the through hole on the side of the box allows the horizontal part of the adjustment plate to pass through the box. Operators can directly operate the movement of the adjustment plate from outside the box without opening the box door and entering the box. This not only facilitates the adjustment operation, but also reduces the impact of frequent opening of the box on the temperature and humidity environment inside the box, and helps to maintain the stability of temperature and humidity.

[0009] In one embodiment, the vertical portions have different heights; the vertical portions are located on the same side of the horizontal portions, or the vertical portions are located on different sides of the horizontal portions.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, with different vertical heights, users can first select an adjustment plate with a suitable height according to the volume of the test block, and then adjust its length. This allows the adjustment plate to more accurately fit the test block, improving space utilization efficiency and ensuring that test blocks of different volumes can be properly cured in a suitable space. The vertical section can be located on the same side or different sides of the horizontal section, accommodating the placement needs of test blocks of different shapes and volumes, further improving the curing chamber's adaptability to different test blocks.

[0011] In one embodiment, the adjusting member further includes a movable member disposed on the back of the housing and capable of moving the adjusting plate.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, adjusting the size of the accommodating space becomes more convenient and faster. There is no need for manual control of one end of the horizontal section to adjust the regulating plate, thus improving work efficiency and reducing operational difficulty.

[0013] In one embodiment, the moving component includes a lead screw and a moving block, the lead screw being disposed on the back of the housing and extending along the length direction, and the moving block being sleeved on the lead screw and fixed to the adjusting plate.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, this structure provides a stable and reliable adjustment method, which can precisely control the movement of the adjustment plate, ensure the accuracy and stability of the adjustment, and make the adjustment of the accommodating space more precise.

[0015] In one embodiment, the adjusting plate further includes an airbag and a fan, the airbag being disposed within the adjusting plate and extending from one end, and the fan being disposed at the end of the horizontal portion away from the vertical portion and communicating with the airbag.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the fan inflates the airbag, causing it to expand and extend from the end of the regulating plate to abut against the inner wall of the chamber, greatly improving the sealing performance of each containment space. Good sealing helps reduce fluctuations in temperature and humidity inside the chamber, lowering energy loss, and also prevents external environmental interference with the curing of the test blocks, ensuring the stability of the curing environment.

[0017] In one embodiment, the surface of the housing further includes a door, which is located on the front of the housing and abuts against the adjustment plate.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solutions, the airtightness of the chamber is further enhanced, preventing the loss of temperature and humidity from the chamber. At the same time, the design of the chamber door facilitates the insertion and removal of test blocks, ensuring the smooth progress of the curing process.

[0019] In one embodiment, the control module includes a temperature control module and a humidity control module, both of which are connected to the accommodating space via pipes.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the temperature and humidity in each containment space can be accurately regulated and controlled, providing a precise curing environment for the test blocks and meeting the strict temperature and humidity requirements for the curing of concrete test blocks.

[0021] In one embodiment, the control module further includes a sensing module disposed within each of the accommodating spaces and capable of sensing temperature and humidity.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the sensing module is installed in each containment space, which can sense temperature and humidity in real time and feed the data back to the control module. The control module adjusts the temperature and humidity in a timely manner based on the information provided by the sensing module, realizing dynamic monitoring and precise control of the test block curing environment, and ensuring that the test block is cured under optimal temperature and humidity conditions.

[0023] In one embodiment, the sensing module is provided with a protective cover.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the sensing module can be effectively protected from factors such as collision, moisture, and corrosion that may occur during the curing of the test block, thus extending the service life of the sensing module, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of its monitoring data, and thereby ensuring the effectiveness of temperature and humidity control.

[0025] In summary, this application includes at least one beneficial effect: 1. The adjustable plate can move along its length, allowing the curing chamber's internal space to be adjusted according to the size of the concrete test blocks. This ensures a perfect fit between the test blocks and the space, avoiding unnecessary space and reducing the energy required to maintain the temperature and humidity, thus achieving energy conservation. The control module regulates the temperature and humidity within the chamber, providing a suitable curing environment for the concrete test blocks and guaranteeing their curing quality. Furthermore, efficient space utilization contributes to the uniformity and stability of temperature and humidity control.

[0026] 2. The fan inflates the airbags, causing them to expand and extend from the end of the regulating plate to abut against the inner wall of the chamber, greatly improving the sealing of each containment space. Good sealing helps reduce fluctuations in temperature and humidity inside the chamber, lowering energy loss, and also prevents external environmental interference with the curing of the test blocks, ensuring the stability of the curing environment.

[0027] 3. With varying vertical heights, users can first select an adjustment plate with a suitable height based on the volume of the test block, and then adjust its length. This allows for a more precise fit of the plate to the test block, improving space utilization efficiency and ensuring that test blocks of different volumes can be properly cured within a suitable space. The vertical section can be located on the same side or different sides of the horizontal section, accommodating the placement needs of test blocks of different shapes and volumes, further enhancing the curing chamber's adaptability to different test blocks.

[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 The energy-saving maintenance box provided in this application will be described in further detail.

[0031] Example 1 Please see Figure 1-4 This application mainly adopts an energy-saving maintenance box 1, which includes a box body 11, a control module 12 and an adjusting component 13.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the interior of the chamber 11 is hollow and can accommodate concrete test blocks. The control module 12 is located at the back of the chamber 11 and extends into the chamber 11 to control the temperature and humidity inside the chamber 11. Specifically, the control module 12 includes a temperature control module and a humidity control module, both of which are connected to the interior of the chamber 11 via a pipe 121. The temperature control module can use a combination of heating and cooling elements, and achieves precise temperature regulation through a PID control algorithm. The heating element can be a resistance wire or a PTC ceramic heater, which features rapid heating and stable temperature control; the cooling element can be a semiconductor cooling chip or a compressor condensation system, which can rapidly reduce the temperature. The humidity control module can be a humidifier, which can use ultrasonic atomization technology to evenly spray water mist into the air. The control module 12 also has a fan 122, which corresponds to the temperature control module and the humidity control module. The fan 122 can draw in outside air into the control module and, after heating, cooling, or humidifying, flow into the chamber 11.

[0033] The adjusting component 13 is provided in the box 11 and includes multiple L-shaped adjusting plates 131. The adjusting plates 131 are spaced apart in the box 11 along the height direction and divide into multiple accommodating spaces 111. The test block is placed on the adjusting plate 131. The adjusting plate 131 can move along its length direction to adjust the size of the accommodating space 111 and match test blocks of different volumes, thereby achieving the effect of reducing excess space and reducing energy consumption.

[0034] Specifically, each adjusting plate 131 includes a vertical portion 1311 and a horizontal portion 1312. The vertical portion 1311 is located at one end of the horizontal portion 1312 along its length and extends upward, capable of abutting against the inner wall of the housing 11 or the horizontal portion 1312 of other adjusting plates 131. The vertical portion 1311 can be made of metal sheet, such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy, to ensure strength and corrosion resistance; the horizontal portion 1312 can be made of high-strength plastic or composite material, which can reduce weight while ensuring sufficient load-bearing capacity. In addition, the vertical portion 1311 and the horizontal portion 1312 can be fixed together by welding or bolts to ensure the stability of the overall structure. A through hole 112 is provided on the side of the housing 11, extending along the width direction. The end of the horizontal portion 1312 of the adjusting plate 131 away from the vertical portion 1311 passes through the through hole 112 and protrudes from the housing 11, facilitating manual pushing of the adjusting plate 131 by the operator to move it along its length. The horizontal portion 1312 of the adjustment plate 131 can also be equipped with scale markings to indicate the current position of the adjustment plate 131, thereby allowing for more precise adjustment of the size of the accommodating space 111. The temperature control module and humidity control module are connected to each accommodating space 111 via pipes 121. Only the pipe 121 for the heating element is shown in the figure. Multiple valves are installed on the pipe 121, allowing for adjustment of the temperature and humidity within the accommodating space 111 containing the test block as needed.

[0035] To further improve the adaptability of the adjustment plate 131, the vertical portion 1311 of the adjustment plate 131 has different heights. Depending on the volume of the test block, the user can select an adjustment plate 131 of suitable height and, in conjunction with movement along the length direction, achieve precise adjustment of the accommodating space 111. For example, for smaller test blocks, a lower-height adjustment plate 131 can be selected and pushed outwards to minimize excess space; while for larger test blocks, a higher-height adjustment plate 131 can be selected and pulled inwards appropriately to expand the accommodating space 111. In this embodiment, the vertical part 1311 is located on the same side of the horizontal part 1312. Each adjustment plate 131 can only move to the left or right at the same time. The lower adjustment plate 131 can move so that its vertical part 1311 can easily abut against the horizontal part 1312 of the upper adjustment plate 131. The bottom of the lowest adjustment plate 131 abuts against the inner wall of the box 11 so that it can abut against all the upper adjustment plates 131, preventing the adjustment plate 131 from tilting due to the excessive weight of the test block.

[0036] The adjusting plate 131 also includes an airbag 1313 and a fan 1314. The airbag 1313 is located inside the adjusting plate 131 and can extend from its end. The fan 1314 is located at the end of the horizontal part 1312 away from the vertical part 1311 and communicates with the airbag 1313. When the fan 1314 is started, it can inflate the airbag 1313. The airbag 1313 expands and extends outward at the end of the adjusting plate 131, eventually abutting against the inner wall of the housing 11, achieving a good sealing effect. The airbag 1313 can be made of flexible rubber or silicone, which has good elasticity and high temperature resistance, ensuring reliability under long-term use.

[0037] The surface of the chamber 11 also includes a door 113, which is located on the front of the chamber 11 and abuts against the adjusting plate 131. The main function of the door 113 is to protect the test block from the influence of the external environment and enhance the sealing performance of the entire curing chamber. The door 113 can be made of double-layered tempered glass or high-strength plastic, ensuring both strength and easy observation of the test block's condition. The abutment between the door 113 and the adjusting plate 131 can be achieved through an elastic pressure strip. The elastic pressure strip is installed on the inner edge of the door 113. When the door 113 is closed, the elastic pressure strip will tightly press against the air bladder 1313 at the end of the adjusting plate 131, thereby forming a good sealing effect. The elastic pressure strip can be made of silicone or polyurethane foam, which has a certain degree of softness and elasticity, and can achieve reliable sealing on adjusting plates 131 of different thicknesses.

[0038] In addition, the door 113 can be equipped with an automatic locking device, such as a magnetic latch or a mechanical latch. The magnetic latch uses the attraction of a magnet to achieve quick locking and is easy to operate; the mechanical latch uses the rotation of the handle to drive the bolt into the keyhole to complete the locking, and its structure is reliable. Both methods can be selected according to actual needs to meet the usage habits of different users.

[0039] The adjusting component 13 may also include a movable component 132, which is located on the back of the housing 11 and can drive the adjusting plate 131 to move along its length. The movable component 132 can be constructed using an electric push rod or a lead screw drive mechanism. The electric push rod has the advantages of simple structure and convenient operation, as it directly drives the push rod to extend and retract via a motor, thereby moving the adjusting plate 131. The lead screw drive mechanism, on the other hand, has higher precision and stability and is suitable for scenarios where the position of the adjusting plate 131 is critical. In this embodiment, the movable component 132 includes a lead screw 1321 and a movable block 1322. The lead screw 1321 is located on the back of the housing 11 and extends along its length. Multiple lead screws 1321 are provided and rotatably connected to a motor. Multiple sliding grooves 114 are provided on the back of the housing 11. Multiple movable blocks 1322 are provided and fitted with corresponding lead screws 1321. The movable blocks 1322 also pass through corresponding sliding grooves 114 and are fixed to the adjusting plate 131. The motor drives the lead screw 1321 to rotate, allowing the movable block 1322 to move along the length of the adjusting plate 131, adjusting the size of the accommodating space 111. Simultaneously, the fan 1314 inflates the airbag 1313, allowing it to fill the sliding groove 114, achieving a good sealing effect. The lead screw 1321 can be made of high-precision ball screw to reduce friction and improve transmission efficiency. Furthermore, limit switches can be provided at both ends of the lead screw 1321 to limit the movement range of the adjusting plate 131 and prevent it from exceeding the safe range.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, the control module 12 also includes a sensing module, which is located within the accommodating space 111 and is capable of sensing temperature and humidity. The sensing module can be an integrated sensor module, which incorporates a temperature and humidity sensor, a data processing chip, and a wireless communication module. The temperature and humidity sensor is used to collect environmental parameters within the accommodating space 111 in real time, the data processing chip is responsible for analyzing and processing the collected data, and the wireless communication module is used to upload the processed data to an external monitoring system.

[0041] To improve the reliability of the sensing module, a protective cover 123 can be installed on its exterior. The protective cover 123 is made of high-temperature and moisture-resistant materials, such as engineering plastics or ceramic-coated metal. In addition, the sensing module can also be equipped with a backup battery to provide temporary power in the event of a main power failure, ensuring the continuity of data acquisition.

[0042] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: When the adjustment plate 131 is in the initial position, the vertical part 1311 abuts against the left side of the inside of the box 11. First, select an adjustment plate 131 of suitable height according to the size and quantity of the test block. Then, control the adjustment plate 131 to move horizontally to the right to adjust the size of the accommodating space 111 until it matches the test block. Next, close the box door 113 and turn on the fan 1314 to seal the gap between the adjustment plate 131 and the box 11 and the box door 113. Finally, the control module achieves precise control of the curing environment for the accommodating space 111 where the test block is placed, ensuring that the test block is cured under ideal temperature and humidity conditions.

[0043] By optimizing the design of the adjustment plate 131, the position of the adjustment plate 131 can be flexibly adjusted according to the volume of the test block, reducing unnecessary curing space. At the same time, the setting of airbag 1313 and fan 1314 improves the sealing of each containment space 111, thereby reducing the energy consumption required to maintain temperature and humidity, and achieving the goal of energy saving and emission reduction.

[0044] By introducing a sensing module, real-time monitoring and feedback control of the curing environment were achieved, ensuring the stability and consistency of the test blocks during the curing process. This intelligent monitoring method not only improved the performance of the curing chamber and the quality of the test blocks, but also reduced energy waste caused by environmental fluctuations, further enhancing the energy-saving effect of the curing chamber.

[0045] By introducing the moving part 132, the movement of the adjusting plate 131 becomes more automated and precise, reducing the inconvenience of manual operation and improving the adjustment efficiency.

[0046] Example 2 like Figure 4 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that the vertical portion 1311 is located on different sides of the horizontal portion 1312. Specifically, the vertical portion 1311 is sequentially located at both ends of the horizontal portion 1312 along the height direction, so that two adjacent adjusting plates 131 can move to the left and right respectively. When the upper adjusting plate 131 moves to the right, the accommodating space 111 of the adjusting plate 131 below it becomes larger, forming an L-shape, which can also accommodate test blocks of different sizes; at the same time, the vertical portion 1311 of each lower adjusting plate 131 can also abut against the horizontal portion 1312 of the upper adjusting plate 131.

[0047] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: by setting the vertical part 1311 in different directions, the position can be flexibly adjusted according to the volume of the test block, which further improves the adaptability of the curing box to different test blocks.

[0048] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
