Definitions

  • the subject of this invention is a method for manufacturing concrete products for buildings in which method concrete is poured into the mould, the material of which mould is manufactured from a heat expanding material, the temperature of the mould is altered after the pouring of the concrete, the mould is removed after a suitable period of time from around the concrete product and the concrete product is then moved on for possible further processing.
  • moulds are constructed from material suitable for the purpose and the moulds can be assembled and dismantled such that the same mould can be used over and over again in the manufacture of concrete products.
  • the moulds or parts of the moulds are removed from around the concrete product once the concrete product has sufficiently set, Whenever the components of the moulds are dismantled after each casting and then reassembled prior to the ensuing casting, they can sometimes be damaged or develop excess tolerance due to wear. In these circumstances the dimensions of the mould are not very accurate. In addition to this, considerable time is spent on assembling and dismantling procedures. This is expensive and the manufacture of concrete products using this method is very time consuming.
  • the purpose of this invention is to provide a method of manufacturing cast concrete products which can be utilised to eliminate the unsatisfactory aspects of the methods currently in use.
  • the purpose of this invention is to provide a method which, when put into use, can produce a significant increase in the level of production capacity achieved using present methods and which can achieve a noticeable reduction in the handling time of the moulds.
  • the purpose of the invention is to provide a method which, when put into use, will produce a significant improvement in the accuracy of the measurements of the moulds compared with present methods.
  • the temperature of the a part of the mould is increased after the concrete is poured by heating a part of the mould, and that the temperature of moulds for forming voids in a concrete product, such as for door and window openings or other kind of openings, is decreased after the concrete is poured by cooling these moulds causing the sizes of the different parts of the mould to change due to the heat expansion, and the moulds and/or the concrete product are moved away from each other in order to remove the concrete product from the mould.
  • the adjustment to the temperature of the mould after the casting of the concrete causes the thermally expanding material to react by either expanding or contracting to the extent that a small gap forms between the concrete and the mould.
  • the temperature of a part of the mould is raised after casting by heating the part of the mould.
  • the part of the mould is warmed up it undergoes a thermal expansion and shifts slightly away from the surface of the concrete.
  • This method can be applied in such situations where the casting mould envelopes the concrete and the cast concrete is situated within the mould.
  • the heating of the part of the mould can be achieved by the use of various types of equipment which are especially suited for this purpose.
  • the mould can be heated as an entire unit, for example, by using a suitable warming intermediate agent such as a hot liquid which is fed through the inside of the mould via suitable channels, tubes or other similar means.
  • the temperature of the mould for forming voids is reduced after the concrete has been cast by cooling this mould. After the mould is cooled the mould contracts a little and the mould or the concrete product can be lifted away.
  • This kind of mould is used, for example, when forming voids in the middle of a concrete product such as for door and window openings or other kinds of openings.
  • the cooling is also carried out in this situation in a conventional manner by feeding a cooling intermediate agent either to the mould or to channels either inside it or on its surface or by other suitable means or by cooling the mould by some other means.
  • heat transmission equipment is connected to the mould which is used to adjust the temperature of the mould.
  • This kind of equipment can be, for example, channels or the equivalent with which the intermediate agent is fed into the mould and removed from it. It is also possible to use, for example, heating or cooling cables or the equivalent.
  • the equipment shown in figure 1 there is a stiff frame form 2 situated on the flush mould 1 into which the concrete 4 is cast when manufacturing the concrete product.
  • the arrangement shown also includes forms for window and door openings 3 situated within the mould 2.
  • the casting of the concrete is carried out in this equipment in the conventional manner by feeding the cast concrete into the space between the mould and the forms for the window and door openings and by allowing the concrete to set.
  • heat transmission equipment (not shown in the figure) is connected to the outer mould 2, with which the temperature of the mould can be increased, and heat transmission equipment (not shown in the figure) is connected to the forms for the window and door openings, with which the temperature of these moulds can be decreased by cooling them.
  • the cast concrete is fed into the inside of the moulds. Once the concrete 4 has set sufficiently the outer moulds 2 are heated, and the inner moulds 3 are cooled at the same time such that the moulds, having thermally expanded or contracted, shift away from the cast concrete.
  • the temperature difference during the casting and heating time can be around 100°C depending on the invention arrangements where, for example, if the temperature of the cast concrete is 30°C the temperature of the cast mould is raised to around 120-130°C. This results in sufficient heat expansion in, for example, steel. Other temperatures and suitable materials can also be used in different arrangements.
