Definitions

  • the invention concerns a process for obtaining a compound to be used for making concrete screed and the relevant mixing device.
  • composition of the compound varies according to the characteristics of the screed to be obtained.
  • the compound is made on the site where the screed is to be laid, preparing first the suitable quantities of solid elements, including sand, binders, etc, and adding a given percentage of water.
  • the known technique involves the use of preparations, called pre-mixed products, that are constituted by the solid components of the compound.
  • said products comprise a solid mixture substantially made up of sand and binders, which is prepared in advance and stored in special containers that are then transported to the site where the compound is going to be laid.
  • the product also comprises special additives, also called catalyzers, that are activated when placed in contact with water.
  • Said devices comprise a container or tank provided with a first duct for conveying said solid elements, a second duct for conveying water and one or more moving blades installed inside the container.
  • the device also comprises a control unit provided with interface means, suited to control both the opening/closing of the conveying ducts and the rotation of the moving blades.
  • the control unit automatically provides for opening for a preset time the solid mixture conveying duct and the water conveying duct.
  • the compound is first amalgamated, then uniformly spread on the surface to be treated and finally properly levelled.
  • the operator proceeds to the laying of tiles or similar coverings to obtain the desired floor.
  • a first drawback posed by the process for obtaining a compound for making concrete screed and the relevant device as described above is constituted by the fact that they do not allow the percentage of components actually introduced in the container to be checked with precision. These quantities, in fact, depend on the capacity of the two conveying ducts that, mainly for the solid mixtures, is not constant due to the natural tendency of the various components to agglomerate.
  • a further inconvenience connected to the previous one is the fact that the compound obtained by adding water does not feature the optimal characteristics for making a good screed. More precisely, the compound does not contain the required percentage of each component per unit of weight.
  • the aim of the present invention is to overcome all the drawbacks described.
  • Another aim of the invention is to produce a device that can be easily transported near the laying site.
  • the proposed solution advantageously makes it possible to check more accurately both the quantity of compound prepared and the proportion of the mixtures that make it up.
  • the process subject of the invention and the examples of embodiment of a relevant mixing device described are particularly suited to obtain a compound for making concrete screed from a mixture or product of the type called "pre-mixed" P comprising sand, binders and additives.
  • the compound is obtained by mixing the solid mixture with a liquid mixture comprising, for example, water.
  • a process for obtaining a compound to be used for making concrete screed comprises the following operations set out in claim 1.
  • the compound contained in the container is mixed and the weight of the solid mixture is calculated in order to be able to stop conveying it into the container when the set quantity has been reached.
  • the weighing and the measurement of the liquid volume are carried out at the same time, in order to calculate the weight of the solid mixture present in the container.
  • the weight of the solid mixture present in the container is calculated by deducting the weight of the liquid mixture, which is given by its volume multiplied by its specific weight, from the weight of the compound contained in the container.
  • the calculated weight coincides, in fact, with the weight of the solid mixture actually present in the container.
  • a device for mixing compounds for making concrete screed that implements the method described is represented in Figure 1 , where it is indicated as a whole by 1. It comprises first means 2 for conveying a solid mixture P in container means, indicated as a whole by 4, and second means 3 for conveying a liquid mixture L in the same container means 4.
  • Measuring means constantly measure the volume of liquid mixture L conveyed into the container means 4 comprising, in the case in question, a container 41.
  • the device 1 also comprises weighing means 6 suited to weigh the compound contained in the container means 4 to obtain the weight of the solid mixture P and check its flow into the container means 4.
  • the device also comprises a control unit 7 cooperating with the measuring means 5 and with the weighing means 6, suited to automatically stop the flow of the solid mixture P into the container means 4 when the weight of the solid mixture P is substantially equal to a weight calculated according to the quantity of compound needed and to the desired proportion of the mixtures P and L.
  • a different embodiment of the device subject of the invention is differentiated from the previous ones due to the fact that the flow of the mixtures P and L can be stopped even manually by the operator.
  • the operator receives a signal, for example an acoustic signal, that indicates that the quantity of mixture conveyed is as desired.
  • the control unit 7 also comprises interface means 8 comprising a keyboard 81 and a display 82 that allow the operator to set the parameters regarding the weight of the compound to be obtained and the percentage of its various components.
  • control unit 7 comprises a microprocessor unit and a memory unit.
  • the first conveying means 2 of the solid mixture P comprise a duct 9 fed by a tank 10 of mixture P, provided at its outlet 11 with an on-off throttle valve 12 controlled by the control unit 7.
  • the duct 9 is fed by means of a rotary auger/screw 13, also controlled by the control unit 7, that transports the mixture P from the tank 10 to the container 4.
  • the mixture P is conveyed by gravity.
  • the second means 3 for conveying the liquid mixture L comprise a duct 15 that can be fed by a tank containing the liquid mixture L, provided with an on-off throttle valve 17 controlled by the control unit 7.
  • the means 5 for measuring the volume of liquid mixture L conveyed into the container 4 they comprise a flow meter 51 cooperating with the control unit 7.
  • the flow meter is of the type called turbine flow meter, but in other embodiments it may be of a different type, for example a piston or Venturi flow meter, etc.
  • the device also comprises mixing means, indicated as a whole by 18, positioned inside the container 4 and suited to stir the mixtures P, L to obtain a substantially homogeneous compound.
  • the mixing means 18 comprise several moving blades 19 fixed to a revolving shaft 20 controlled by the control unit 7.
  • the weighing means 6 comprise, in the embodiment, load cells 61 connected to the control unit 7. In other embodiments also different weighing systems may be provided.
  • the device 1 also comprises means for extracting the compound from the container 41, comprising, in the case in question, a pump provided with a suction mouth 21 and positioned on the bottom of the container 41.
  • the container 41 is tight and the compound is extracted by pressurizing the container 41 itself with a compressor unit that pushes the compound towards an outlet duct positioned on the bottom of the container 41.
  • a machine for preparing a product for making concrete screed that is also subject of the invention is represented in Figure 2 , where it is indicated as a whole by 500.
  • It comprises a motor-driven vehicle 501 on which a compound mixing device 502 of the type described above is installed.
  • the machine 500 also comprises means 503 suitable for storing and transporting a pre-mixed preparation or product. Said means are suited to stir the preparation or product in order to maintain and guarantee its homogeneity during both storage and transport to the laying site.
  • the operator proceeds by setting, via the interface means 8, the weight of the compound needed and the proportion of the solid and liquid mixtures P and L that make it up.
  • the operator introduces, according to the solid mixture or pre-mixed product P available, the percentage of water per kg of solid mixture that is necessary to obtain the best performance in term of both compound drying time and hardness of the screed obtained.
  • the control unit 7 activates the first conveying means 2 that convey the mixture P into the container 4 and then the second means 3 that convey the liquid mixture L.
  • the load cells 61 and the measuring means 5 communicate to the control unit 7 the weight of the mixtures P, L present in the container 41 and the volume of the liquid L conveyed into the same container 41, respectively.
  • the control unit 7 calculates first the weight of the liquid L and then the weight of the solid mixture P, deducting the calculated weight of the liquid from the value measured for the load cells.
  • the weight of the liquid L is calculated by the processing unit by multiplying the volume of liquid L measured from the flow meter by the specific weight of the liquid L itself, which can also be set in advance by the operator via the above mentioned interface means 8.
  • the control unit 7 then compares the weight of the two mixtures with the desired weights as indicated by the data set in advance by the operator.
  • the unit 7 stops the flow of the corresponding mixture by means of the corresponding on-off valve 12 or 17.
  • control unit activates the mixing means 18 for a lapse of time that can be set, until a substantially homogeneous compound is obtained.
  • the mixing means 18 can be activated also while the mixtures P, L are conveyed into the container, thus reducing the time necessary to prepare the compound.
