Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the following examples in order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
The embodiment of the invention provides a 3D printing light-transmitting concrete structure which is free from being manufactured by a template and has good light transmittance and strong mechanical property, and the 3D printing light-transmitting concrete structure comprises at least one light guide layer and at least two mortar layers. The mortar layer comprises 40-46 parts of cement, 40-46 parts of sand, 13-15 parts of water, 0.02-0.06 part of water reducer, 0.02-0.06 part of sodium gluconate and 0.04-0.08 part of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose according to the mass part ratio. The light guide layers are formed by paving a plurality of light guide fibers in an equidistant arrangement mode, the mortar layers are printed and formed by 3D printing equipment, and the light guide layers are formed between two adjacent mortar layers so as to be stacked to form a 3D printing light-transmitting concrete structure in a stacked mode. According to the 3D printing light-transmitting concrete structure provided by the embodiment of the invention, the proportion of the mortar raw materials is adjusted, so that the mortar is suitable for extrusion printing of 3D printing equipment, and the 3D printing light-transmitting concrete structure has good forming quality and better mechanical property while meeting the time requirement of paving a light guide layer, so that the stacked and formed 3D printing light-transmitting concrete structure has good light transmission and stronger mechanical property. And moreover, the proportion of mortar raw materials is adjusted, so that the mortar is suitable for extrusion printing of 3D printing equipment, the 3D printing equipment can be directly used for printing and forming the translucent concrete, the translucent concrete is not required to be manufactured through a template, the manufacturing cost of the template is saved, the manpower and time consumption in the manufacturing process of the translucent concrete are reduced, and the manufacturing efficiency of the translucent concrete can be improved.
Preferably, in some embodiments, the sand is river sand with the grain diameter smaller than or equal to 1.18mm, and the mass ratio of the river sand to the cement is (0.9-1.1): 1, so that the mortar is suitable for extrusion printing of 3D printing equipment, and the phenomenon that the mortar is dry and cracked to damage the printing performance and the phenomenon that the mortar has high fluidity and cannot be stacked and formed is avoided. When the mass ratio of the river sand to the cement is more than (0.9-1.1): 1, excessive river sand easily causes mortar drying cracking to damage printing performance, and the forming quality of the transparent concrete is poor, so that the mechanical performance of the printed transparent concrete is reduced. When the mass ratio of the river sand to the cement is less than (0.9-1.1): 1, too little river sand easily causes high mortar fluidity and can not be stacked for molding, thereby being unfavorable for extrusion printing molding of 3D printing equipment and even causing failure in molding of light-transmitting concrete.
Preferably, in some of these embodiments, the water reducer is a powdered polycarboxylate superplasticizer, which is used to improve the fluidity of the mortar. The mass ratio of the polycarboxylic acid high-efficiency water reducer to the cement is (0.0008-0.001): 1, so that the mortar is suitable for extrusion printing of 3D printing equipment, the phenomenon that the mortar is dry and cracked to damage the printing performance is avoided, and the phenomenon that the mortar has high fluidity and cannot be stacked and formed is avoided. When the mass ratio of the polycarboxylic acid high-efficiency water reducer to the cement is more than (0.0008-0.001): 1, the excessive polycarboxylic acid high-efficiency water reducer easily causes mortar drying cracking to damage printing performance, the forming quality of the transparent concrete is poor, and the mechanical property of the printed transparent concrete is further reduced. When the mass ratio of the polycarboxylic acid high-efficiency water reducer to cement is less than (0.0008-0.001): 1, too little polycarboxylic acid high-efficiency water reducer easily causes high mortar fluidity and cannot be stacked for molding, thereby being unfavorable for extrusion printing molding of 3D printing equipment and even causing failure in molding of light-transmitting concrete.
Preferably, in some embodiments, the sodium gluconate is in a powder form, and the sodium gluconate is used for prolonging the solidification time of the mortar, so that the 3D printing-molded mortar layer can meet the time requirement of paving the light guide layer, and the light guide layer is conveniently paved on the mortar layer. The mass ratio of the sodium gluconate to the cement is (0.0006-0.0008): 1, so that the setting time of the mortar is just suitable for the laying time requirement of the light guide layer, and the mechanical property of the light-transmitting concrete is not obviously reduced. When the mass ratio of the sodium gluconate to the cement is more than (0.0006-0.0008): 1, the excessive sodium gluconate prolongs the solidification time of the mortar and reduces the mechanical property of the light-transmitting concrete. When the mass ratio of the sodium gluconate to the cement is less than (0.0006-0.0008): 1, too little sodium gluconate reduces the solidification time of the mortar and cannot meet the time requirement of paving the light guide layer.
Preferably, in some of these embodiments, the hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is in the form of a powder, which is used to enhance the water retention and thixotropic properties of the mortar and to enhance the printability of the mortar. The mass ratio of the hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose to the cement is (0.0012-0.0014) 1, so that the mortar has proper viscosity, the printability of the mortar is enhanced, and the mechanical properties of the light-transmitting concrete are not obviously reduced. When the mass ratio of the hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose to the cement is more than (0.0012-0.0014): 1, excessive hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose is easy to cause mortar to be sticky, and the mechanical property of the light-transmitting concrete is reduced. When the mass ratio of the hydroxypropyl methylcellulose to the cement is less than (0.0012-0.0014): 1, too little hydroxypropyl methylcellulose easily causes drying and cracking of mortar, reduces viscosity, and cannot adhere to optical fibers, thereby affecting the light transmission performance of light-transmitting concrete.
Preferably, in some embodiments, the optical fiber is an optical fiber, and transparent glass or plastic polymer may be used, where the optical fiber is a fiber capable of undergoing total internal reflection (Total Internal Reflection) and the refractive index of the core layer is greater than the refractive index of the outer cladding layer. The diameter of the light guide fiber is 0.5-2.5 mm, which is beneficial to the 3D printing light-transmitting concrete structure formed by stacking and has good light transmission and strong mechanical property. When the diameter of the light guide fiber is smaller than 0.5mm, the diameter of the light guide fiber is too small, and the light transmission performance and the printing performance of the light transmission concrete are obviously reduced. When the diameter of the light guide fiber is larger than 2.5mm, the diameter of the light guide fiber is overlarge, so that the mechanical property and the printing performance of the light-transmitting concrete are obviously reduced.
The embodiment of the invention provides a preparation method of a 3D printing light-transmitting concrete structure with good light transmission and strong mechanical property without template manufacture, which comprises the following steps:
step S01: weighing 40-46 parts of cement, 40-46 parts of sand, 13-15 parts of water, 0.02-0.06 part of water reducer, 0.02-0.06 part of sodium gluconate and 0.04-0.08 part of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose according to the raw materials and the proportion adopted by the 3D printing light-transmitting concrete structure of any one of claims 1-6;
step S02: pouring the raw materials in the step S01 into a mortar stirrer for stirring until the raw materials are uniformly mixed, so as to obtain mortar which can be printed by 3D printing equipment;
step S03: delivering the mortar in the step S02 to 3D printing equipment, printing a first mortar layer according to the set printing parameters, and taking the first mortar layer as a substrate layer;
step S04: paving a light guide layer on the first mortar layer in the step S03, wherein the light guide layer is formed by paving a plurality of light guide fibers in an equidistant arrangement mode;
step S05: printing a second mortar layer on the light guide layer in the step S04 according to the set printing parameters;
step S06: paving a light guide layer on the second mortar layer in the step S05;
step S07: printing a second mortar layer on the light guide layer in the step S06 according to the set printing parameters;
step S08: and (3) repeating the steps S05, S06 and S07 for a plurality of times to obtain the 3D printing translucent concrete structure formed by printing.
Step S09: and (3) placing the 3D printing light-transmitting concrete structure in the step S08 in an environment with the temperature of 20+/-2 ℃ and the relative humidity of more than 95% for curing for 28 days.
Step S10: the light-transmitting concrete cured in step S09 is cut and polished according to a predetermined size to obtain cut and polished light-transmitting concrete 5.
It should be noted that in some embodiments, the 3D printing device may be, but is not limited to, an extrusion type 3D printer, the 3D printer head adopts a circular shape, the interval between each layer of adjacent printing paths is set to be the diameter of the printer head, and the thickness of each layer of printing mortar is set to be the radius of the 3D printer head. Preferably, the horizontal movement speed of the 3D printer nozzle is 40-60 mm/s, and the extrusion speed is 0.8-1.2 r/s. The horizontal movement speed of the spray head is too high, or the extrusion speed of the spray head is too low, so that printing discontinuity is easy to occur, and the molding quality of the light-transmitting concrete structure is poor. The horizontal movement speed of the spray head is too slow, or the extrusion speed of the spray head is too fast, so that deformation and damage of a printing structure are easily caused, and the forming quality of the light-transmitting concrete structure is poor.

The loading direction of the mechanical test is the z direction, and finally the flexural strength of the sample is 10.1MPa, the compressive strength is 51.6MPa and the light transmittance is 0.02%.
Example 3
This embodiment is different from embodiment 1 in that: the optical fiber of this example uses glass, other parameters are the same as in example 1, and the final measured sample has a flexural strength of 9.2MPa, a compressive strength of 47.6MPa, and a light transmittance of 0.15%.
Comparative example 1
This comparative example is identical to example 1, except that: a light guide layer is not paved between adjacent mortar layers, namely, the light guide fiber 3 is not arranged between the adjacent mortar layers, and finally, the flexural strength of the sample is 13.5MPa, the compressive strength is 47.6MPa and the light transmittance is 0%. The flexural strength of the sample of comparative example 1 was somewhat improved, but the compressive strength was reduced, and the sample was opaque and did not meet the application requirements of light-transmitting concrete, as compared to example 1.
Comparative example 2
This comparative example is identical to example 1, except that: and a light guide layer is paved between adjacent mortar layers, the diameter of the placed light guide fiber 3 is 3mm, and finally, the flexural strength of the sample is 6.3MPa, the compressive strength is 43.2MPa and the light transmittance is 0.49%. Compared with example 1, the sample in comparative example 2 has significantly increased light transmittance, but significantly reduced flexural strength and compressive strength, has a large impact on the safety of light-transmitting concrete, and has poor print workability of large-sized light-guide fiber, which is easily deflected, and reduces the constructability of light-transmitting concrete. And after printing and forming, the optical fiber 3 with larger diameter also reduces the overall aesthetic property of the light-transmitting concrete.
Comparative example 3
This comparative example is identical to example 1, except that: adopting 40 parts of ordinary Portland cement (P.O 42.5.5), 40.85 parts of river sand with the grain diameter of 1.18mm, 18 parts of tap water, 0.05 part of polycarboxylic acid high-efficiency water reducer, 0.05 part of sodium gluconate and 0.05 part of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose as raw materials, and uniformly mixing and stirring the raw materials to prepare the printing mortar. Because the fluidity of the mortar in comparative example 3 was too high, the stacking formation was impossible, the optical fiber was deformed and moved, and finally the production failed.
Comparative example 4
This comparative example is identical to example 1, except that: 39.85 parts of ordinary Portland cement (P.O 42.5.5), 50 parts of river sand with the particle size of 1.18mm, 10 parts of tap water, 0.05 part of polycarboxylic acid high-efficiency water reducer, 0.05 part of sodium gluconate and 0.05 part of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose are adopted as raw materials, and the raw materials are uniformly mixed and stirred to prepare the printing mortar. Since the mortar in comparative example 3 was dry-broken, continuous extrusion was impossible, and the final production failed.
The foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the invention is not intended to be limiting, but rather is intended to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and principles of the invention.
