Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of construction tools technology, and in particular to an insulated curing shed. Background Technology

[0002] In building construction, a spread foundation is a type of foundation that transfers loads to the shallow ground by constructing a foundation on the surface of the pit. When pouring concrete for a spread foundation in winter or under low-temperature conditions, the concrete is highly susceptible to early freezing due to the extremely low ambient temperature, resulting in quality problems such as slow strength development, surface cracks, and reduced durability.

[0003] Currently, the main insulation measures used during winter construction of expanded foundations include covering with insulating blankets, constructing insulated chambers, and using electric blankets for heating. However, simply covering with insulating materials is insufficient to maintain uniform temperature in large-volume expanded foundations. Constructing insulated chambers is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and uneconomical. Traditional electric heating methods are highly fixed but have limited coverage, resulting in significant temperature differences between the interior and surface of the foundation concrete. Furthermore, most insulation measures lack real-time monitoring of temperature and humidity, making it difficult to dynamically adjust the curing environment. Therefore, current insulation measures for expanded foundation construction suffer from unstable insulation effects, uneven heating, and high costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an insulated curing shed to address the problems of unstable insulation effect, uneven heating, and high cost of the insulation measures adopted during the construction of expanded foundations.

[0005] This utility model provides a thermal insulation curing shed for installation on an expanded foundation, the thermal insulation curing shed comprising:

[0006] A frame assembly for detachably surrounding the periphery of the enlarged foundation;

[0007] An insulation component, which is detachably covered by the frame component to form a receiving cavity for accommodating the enlarged foundation;

[0008] A steam assembly, comprising a steam engine and a connecting pipe, wherein the steam engine is connected to the receiving cavity via the connecting pipe, and the steam engine is used to input steam into the receiving cavity.

[0009] In one embodiment, the frame assembly includes a plurality of connecting rods and a plurality of fasteners, the connecting rods being connected to each other via the fasteners to form a rectangular frame structure, the rectangular frame structure surrounding the outer periphery of the enlarged foundation, and the rectangular frame being detachably connected to the surface of the foundation pit.

[0010] In one embodiment, the frame assembly further includes a plurality of first support rods, which are mounted on the top of the rectangular frame structure. The first support rods are all gradually lowered from the middle to the outside to form a slope on the top of the frame assembly.

[0011] In one embodiment, the insulation component further includes a plurality of second support rods, which are installed diagonally on each side of the rectangular frame structure.

[0012] In one embodiment, the insulation component includes an insulation layer and a protective layer, the insulation layer covering the surface of the frame component, and the protective layer covering the side of the insulation layer away from the receiving cavity.

[0013] In one embodiment, the insulation component further includes a moisture-proof layer that covers the side of the insulation layer near the receiving cavity.

[0014] In one embodiment, the insulation component further includes a sealant, through which the insulation layer and the protective layer are sealed to the surface of the foundation pit.

[0015] In one embodiment, the steam assembly further includes a monitoring element installed within the containment cavity and electrically connected to the steam generator, the monitoring element being used to monitor the temperature and / or humidity within the containment cavity.

[0016] In one embodiment, the difference between the length of the rectangular frame structure and the length of the enlarged foundation is greater than or equal to 1m, and the difference between the width of the rectangular frame structure and the width of the enlarged foundation is greater than or equal to 1m.

[0017] In one embodiment, the heat preservation shed further includes a water pipe, a water storage tank, a water pump, and multiple nozzles. The multiple nozzles are installed on the frame assembly at the top of the receiving cavity. One end of the water pipe is connected to the nozzle, and the water pump is connected to the water pipe.

[0018] The aforementioned thermal insulation curing shed utilizes a detachable frame assembly erected on the outside of the concrete. Thermal insulation components are then laid over the frame assembly, enclosing the spread foundation within a cavity. High-temperature steam generated by a steam generator is introduced into the cavity through connecting pipes, ensuring the temperature within the cavity meets the curing requirements of the concrete. The frame assembly can be quickly assembled and easily dismantled after completion, offering good economic efficiency. The cavity covered by the thermal insulation components forms a closed space, effectively blocking cold air. Combined with the steam components, this ensures the internal temperature of the cavity meets requirements, making it suitable for low-temperature construction environments in winter. This ensures the smooth early hydration reaction of the concrete and improves the quality of the spread foundation. Therefore, the thermal insulation curing shed of this embodiment has the advantages of good insulation effect, low cost, and improved construction quality. Attached Figure Description

[0033] See Figures 1 to 3 The diagram shows a structural schematic of an insulation and curing shed according to one embodiment of this application. The insulation and curing shed is installed on the enlarged foundation 10 to provide insulation and curing for the enlarged foundation 10. In other embodiments, the insulation and curing shed is also extended to the construction of strip foundations, pile caps, and shallow foundations.

[0034] The thermal insulation curing shed includes a frame assembly 100, an insulation assembly 200, and a steam assembly 300. The frame assembly 100 is detachably installed around the outer perimeter of the expanded foundation 10. The insulation assembly 200 is detachably installed over the frame assembly 100 to form a receiving cavity 200A for accommodating the expanded foundation 10. The steam assembly 300 includes a steam generator 310 and a connecting pipe 320. The steam generator 310 is connected to the receiving cavity 200A via the connecting pipe 320 and is used to input steam into the receiving cavity 200A.

[0035] The steam engine 310 is a power machine that converts thermal energy into mechanical energy. In building insulation construction and maintenance, the steam engine 310 mainly generates high-temperature steam to provide heat and humidity for the insulation curing shed, meeting the needs of concrete curing. For example, the steam output by the steam engine 310 can be steam with a temperature greater than 100 degrees Celsius to heat the cavity 200A. The steam engine 310 is prior art and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0036] The thermal insulation curing shed described in this application involves constructing a detachable frame assembly 100 on the outside of the poured concrete, covering the frame assembly 100 with a thermal insulation assembly 200, so that the enlarged foundation 10 is enclosed within the receiving cavity 200A, and high-temperature steam generated by the steam engine 310 is input into the receiving cavity 200A through the connecting pipe 320, thereby ensuring that the temperature within the receiving cavity 200A meets the curing requirements of the concrete.

[0037] The thermal insulation curing shed described in this embodiment allows for quick and easy assembly of the frame component 100, and it can be easily dismantled after construction, offering good economic efficiency. The insulation component 200 covers the containment cavity 200A, forming a closed space that effectively blocks cold air. Combined with the steam component 300, it ensures that the internal temperature of the containment cavity 200A meets the requirements, making it suitable for low-temperature construction environments in winter. This ensures the smooth progress of early concrete hydration and improves the quality of the expanded foundation 10. Therefore, the thermal insulation curing shed has the advantages of good insulation effect, low cost, and improved construction quality.

[0038] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the frame assembly 100 includes multiple connecting rods 110 and multiple fasteners. The connecting rods 110 are connected by fasteners to form a rectangular frame structure. The rectangular frame structure surrounds the outer perimeter of the enlarged foundation 10, and the rectangular frame is detachably connected to the pit surface 20. Specifically, the connecting rods 110 and fasteners are fastened together by fasteners. In this embodiment, the rectangular frame composed of connecting rods 110 and fasteners can not only quickly enclose the enlarged foundation 10 to form an insulated and protective cavity 200A according to common building materials, meeting the core requirements of thermal insulation and maintenance, but also the frame assembly 100 is a detachable structure, allowing it to be reused to reduce costs. Disassembly is convenient and does not affect subsequent construction. Furthermore, the rectangular frame structure can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual dimensions of the enlarged foundation 10 and the pit, exhibiting strong adaptability. Overall, it combines the advantages of low cost, high efficiency, ease of operation, and reusability.

[0039] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the frame assembly 100 also includes multiple first support rods 130, which are installed on the top of the rectangular frame structure. The first support rods 130 are gradually lowered from the center outwards, forming a sloping top surface on the frame assembly 100. This embodiment adds first support rods 130 to the top of the rectangular frame to form a sloping top surface. This not only allows for rapid drainage of rain and snow through the sloping structure, preventing the accumulation of rain and snow from crushing the frame assembly 100 and damaging the insulation component 200, thus ensuring the safety and stability of the insulation and curing shed, but also allows for compatibility with the existing frame assembly 100 composed of connecting rods 110 and fasteners, without compromising the detachable connection characteristics, ensuring the overall structure can still be reused. Furthermore, the design of the sloping top surface formed by the first support rods 130 requires no additional complex structure, making it easy to install with the insulation component 200, further enhancing the insulation and curing shed's resistance to severe weather and its practical adaptability.

[0040] In an optional embodiment, the insulation component 200 further includes a plurality of second support rods, which are installed diagonally on each side of the rectangular frame structure. This embodiment utilizes the diagonal arrangement of the second support rods on each side of the rectangular frame structure. Because the diagonal support forms a stable triangular structure, the second support rods significantly enhance the wind and deformation resistance of the frame component 100, preventing lateral tilting or collapse under harsh weather conditions such as low temperatures and strong winds. Furthermore, the second support rods can be flexibly assembled with the connecting rods 110 and fasteners without compromising the detachable and reusable characteristics of the frame component 100. Installation requires no additional complex procedures, exhibiting strong adaptability and further improving the structural stability and safety of the insulation and curing shed.

[0041] In one exemplary embodiment, the connecting rod 110, the first support rod 130, and the second support rod are all steel pipes, which have the advantages of easy material sourcing and low cost.

[0042] In an optional embodiment, the insulation component 200 includes an insulation layer and a protective layer, the insulation layer covering the surface of the frame component 100, and the protective layer covering the side of the insulation layer away from the receiving cavity 200A.

[0043] This embodiment utilizes a double-layer structure consisting of an insulation layer and a protective layer. The inner insulation layer directly adheres to the frame component 100, effectively reducing heat loss within the cavity 200A and maintaining the required temperature environment for construction. Simultaneously, the outer protective layer protects the insulation layer from erosion and damage caused by rain, snow, and strong winds, extending its lifespan. The protective layer also enhances the overall wind resistance of the insulation curing shed. Furthermore, the detachable nature of the insulation component 200, adapted to the frame component 100, facilitates installation and disassembly without adding extra construction difficulty. Overall, it balances insulation performance, durability, and ease of operation, ensuring the quality of the expanded foundation 10 for insulation curing.

[0044] In an optional embodiment, the insulation component 200 further includes a moisture-proof layer, which covers the side of the insulation layer near the receiving cavity 200A. This embodiment adds a moisture-proof layer to the side of the insulation layer near the receiving cavity 200A, which not only prevents moisture generated by water sprayed on the concrete during curing from penetrating into the insulation layer, but also avoids the insulation layer's insulation performance from decreasing and its service life shortened due to moisture, ensuring the insulation layer continues to perform its insulation function, maintaining a stable temperature and humidity environment within the receiving cavity 200A, further improving the durability and curing effect of the insulation component 200, and ensuring the quality of insulation curing of the expanded foundation 10.

[0045] In one exemplary embodiment, the insulation layer is a rock wool blanket, the protective layer is a tarpaulin, and the moisture-proof layer is a plastic film. The rock wool blanket has good insulation performance, the plastic film can prevent moisture leakage, and the plastic film and tarpaulin are low in cost and have the advantages of good insulation effect and high cost performance.

[0046] In an optional embodiment, the insulation component 200 further includes a seal, through which the insulation layer and the protective layer are sealed to the pit surface 20.

[0047] In this embodiment, the insulation layer, protective layer and foundation pit surface 20 are sealed together by a sealing component, which can completely seal the gap between the insulation component 200 and the foundation pit, prevent cold air from seeping in from the gap and warm air from escaping from the gap, effectively maintain a stable insulation environment in the containment cavity 200A, and prevent external rain, snow and moisture from entering the containment cavity 200A through the gap and affecting the curing humidity of the concrete, further improving the sealing and insulation effect and environmental adaptability of the insulation curing shed, and ensuring the insulation curing quality of the enlarged foundation 10.

[0048] In one exemplary embodiment, the seal is a rubber sealing strip or sealing tape. Both rubber sealing strips and sealing tapes are low-cost and readily available materials, and the appropriate type can be selected according to the flatness of the pit surface.

[0049] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the steam assembly 300 also includes a monitoring element 330, which is installed within the receiving cavity 200A and electrically connected to the steam engine 310. The monitoring element 330 is used to monitor the temperature and / or humidity within the receiving cavity 200A. Specifically, the monitoring element 330 is a temperature and humidity sensor.

[0050] This embodiment, by configuring a monitoring device 330 within the receiving cavity 200A, monitors the temperature and / or humidity within the cavity 200A in real time. Through electrical connection with the steam generator 310, it can automatically provide feedback and adjust the steam output of the steam generator 310. When the temperature and humidity are below the set values, the steam generator 310 automatically starts to replenish steam; when the set values ​​are reached, the steam generator 310 automatically stops. This avoids the tediousness of frequent manual monitoring and operation, and accurately maintains the stable temperature and humidity environment required for curing. It effectively prevents temperature and humidity fluctuations from affecting the concrete strength, further improving the automation level, accuracy, and efficiency of thermal insulation curing, and ensuring the curing quality of the enlarged foundation 10.

[0051] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the difference between the length of the rectangular frame structure and the length of the enlarged foundation 10 is greater than or equal to 1m, and the difference between the width of the rectangular frame structure and the width of the enlarged foundation 10 is greater than or equal to 1m.

[0052] In this embodiment, the frame component 100 and the enlarged foundation 10 maintain a difference of greater than or equal to 1m in both length and width. This provides ample operating space for construction personnel to carry out maintenance operations such as watering, monitoring, or heating. It also forms a buffer space between the frame component 100 and the enlarged foundation 10, reducing the direct impact of cold air from the outside on the enlarged foundation 10 and improving the insulation effect and ease of operation of the thermal insulation maintenance shed.

[0053] In an optional embodiment, the heat preservation shed also includes a water spraying assembly, which includes a water pipe, a water tank, a water pump, and multiple nozzles. The multiple nozzles are mounted on the frame assembly 100 at the top of the receiving cavity 200A. One end of the water pipe is connected to the nozzle, and the water pump is connected to the water pipe.

[0054] In this embodiment, multiple nozzles are installed on the frame assembly 100 at the top of the receiving cavity 200A. Through the cooperation of water pump, water pipe and water storage tank, water can be sprayed evenly from the top to the enlarged foundation 10. There is no need for manual watering of the concrete. This can avoid heat loss caused by frequent opening and closing of the door when manual watering is carried out, and can ensure that the concrete surface is moist throughout, preventing local drying and cracking. This improves the accuracy of humidity control, work efficiency and concrete curing quality of thermal insulation and curing.

[0055] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the insulation component 200 also includes a vent pipe 340, a baffle, and a drive unit. The vent pipe 340 is installed on the top of the frame component 100. One end of the vent pipe 340 is connected to the receiving cavity 200A, and the other end is connected to the external environment. The drive unit and the baffle are both disposed inside the vent pipe 340. The power output end of the drive unit is connected to the baffle, and the drive unit is electrically connected to the monitoring component 330. The drive unit is used to drive the baffle to close or open the channel of the vent pipe 340. Specifically, the drive unit is a servo motor.

[0056] In this embodiment, a vent pipe 340 with a baffle and a drive unit is installed on the top of the frame component 100. The opening and closing of the vent pipe 340 can be flexibly controlled. When it is open, excess moisture or heat in the receiving cavity 200A can be discharged in time to prevent the concrete from becoming damp or the temperature from exceeding the standard. When it is closed, it works with the insulation layer to maintain the temperature of the receiving cavity 200A. At the same time, the drive unit is linked with the monitoring component 330 to achieve automatic control without manual operation. This further improves the environmental controllability, safety and automation level of thermal insulation curing, and ensures the curing quality of the enlarged foundation 10.

[0057] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0058] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
