- the recording unit 13 is a ROM (read only memory), a flash memory, or the like, and can record a database described later.
- the mixer 10J extends in the lateral direction with the rotation shaft 10G inclined. For this reason, when ready-mixed concrete is introduced into the mixer drum 10, a space is left above the ready-mixed concrete.
- the mixer 10J agitates the ready-mixed concrete put into the mixer drum 10 by rotating around the rotating shaft 10G.
- Each electrode 11 provided on the inner peripheral surface of the mixer drum 10 rotates the mixer drum 10 on the circumference (predetermined circumference) in the vicinity of the inner peripheral surface of the mixer drum 10 around the rotation shaft 10G of the mixer drum 10.

- this resistance value is from the maximum value Max1 to the minimum value Min1 during the period from the time when each electrode 11 is completely exposed in the space above the readymixed concrete until it is completely buried in the readymixed concrete (T4 to T5). Gradually descend toward In other words, this resistance value periodically changes between the minimum value Min1 and the maximum value Max1 as each electrode 11 moves on the circumference in the vicinity of the inner peripheral surface of the mixer drum 10 as the mixer drum 10 rotates. That is, this resistance value has one period of T1 to T5. This means that the mixer drum 10 has made one revolution in this one cycle.

For this reason, the distance that each electrode 11 moves in the ready-mixed concrete is shortened.
- the ready-mixed concrete does not easily stick to each electrode 11, and each electrode 11 easily moves in the ready-mixed concrete in a short time. For these reasons, as the slump value of ready-mixed concrete increases, the rate of change of the resistance value increases (the interval between T2 and T3 decreases).
- the ready-mixed concrete tends to stick to the inner peripheral surface of the mixer drum 10 and each electrode 11.

- Table 1 shows the rotation speed obtained from the experiment and the slump value corresponding to the change speed.
- the recording unit 13 records a database that stores slump values corresponding to the rotation speed and the change speed.
- the rotational speed when the ready-mixed concrete is agitated by rotating the mixer drum 10 is a periodically changing resistance value measured using each electrode 11 that moves as the mixer drum 10 rotates, as shown in FIG. Is the reciprocal of one cycle (T1 to T5). That is, the rotation speed is obtained by the calculation unit 12 from one period (T1 to T5) of the resistance value measured using each electrode 11.
- the rate of change is the time when the periodically changing resistance value measured using each electrode 11 that moves with the rotation of the mixer drum 10 starts to rise from the minimum value Min1 (T2) and reaches the maximum value Max1 ( Time until T3) (T2 to T3). That is, for the change speed, the calculation unit 12 obtains the time (T2 to T3) during which the resistance value measured using each electrode 11 changes from the minimum value Min1 to the maximum value Max1. That is, the change rate of the resistance value from the state in which each electrode 11 is completely buried in the ready-mixed concrete until it is completely exposed to the space above the ready-mixed concrete is measured.
- the rotation speed and the change speed can be obtained by the calculation unit 12 from the resistance value measured using each electrode 11.
- the slump value is obtained by the computing unit 12 from the database recorded in the recording unit 13 corresponding to the rotation speed and the change speed obtained by the computing unit 12. For example, as shown in Table 1, the slump value of ready-mixed concrete when the rotation speed is 1.5 rpm and the change speed is 0.5 seconds is 10 cm.
- the flowchart shown in FIG. 5 is repeatedly calculated by the calculation unit 12 every predetermined time. For this reason, the calculating part 12 can obtain the present resistance value measured using each electrode 11 repeatedly for every predetermined time.
- provisional minimum values and maximum values are collected from the current resistance values measured using the respective electrodes 11 as the mixer drum 10 rotates (step S1). Specifically, the current resistance value measured using each electrode 11 is compared with the first boundary value and the second boundary value (the first boundary value and the second boundary value are recorded in the recording unit 13 in advance). Yes.) At this time, when the current resistance value is smaller than the first boundary value, it is collected as a provisional minimum value, and when it is larger than the second boundary value, it is collected as a provisional maximum value.

- the calculation unit 12 calculates by repeating the flowchart of FIG. 5 at predetermined time intervals. For this reason, the calculating part 12 can collect a temporary minimum value and maximum value repeatedly for every predetermined time from the present resistance value measured using each electrode 11. Specifically, it is determined whether the difference between the provisional minimum value and the maximum value collected in step S1 is larger than a predetermined value. Further, it is determined whether or not the provisional minimum value and maximum value stay within a predetermined range for a predetermined time (the predetermined value, the predetermined range, and the predetermined time are recorded in the recording unit 13 in advance).

Specifically, when it is determined in step S2 that the provisional minimum value and maximum value are stable, the provisional minimum value and maximum value are stored as a comparison minimum value Min1 and maximum value Max1.
- the flowchart shown in FIG. 6 is repeatedly calculated by the calculation unit 12 every predetermined time. Therefore, the calculation unit 12 repeats the current resistance value measured using each electrode 11 and the comparison minimum value Min1 and maximum value Max1 stored in step S3 (see FIG. 5) at predetermined time intervals. Can be compared.
- step S11 the current resistance value measured using each electrode 11 as the mixer drum 10 rotates is measured.
- step S12 it is determined whether the current resistance value measured using each electrode 11 has reached a comparison minimum value Min1 (T1) (step S12). If it is determined that the current resistance value measured using each electrode 11 has reached the minimum value for comparison Min1 (T1), the process proceeds to step S13. On the other hand, if it is determined that the current resistance value measured using each electrode 11 does not reach the minimum value Min1 for comparison (T1), the process proceeds to step S14.
- step S13 the rotation speed of the mixer 10J of the previous cycle is obtained, and measurement of the rotation speed of the mixer 10J of the next cycle is started.
- +1 is accumulated, and when the current resistance value reaches the comparison minimum value Min1 (T1, T5).
- a first counter is provided that is reset to zero. That is, the first counter is reset to 0 once every time the mixer drum 10 rotates once. For this reason, the rotation speed of the mixer drum 10 is the reciprocal of the result obtained by multiplying the value immediately before the first counter is reset to 0 and the time that the flowchart of FIG. You can ask for it.
- the integration of +1 is repeated every predetermined time, and the measurement of the rotational speed of the mixer 10J in the next one cycle is started.

- T2 the time point
- step S15 it is determined that the current resistance value measured using each electrode 11 is not the time (T2) when the current resistance value starts to rise from the minimum value Min1 for comparison.
- step S15 measurement of the time until the current resistance value measured using each electrode 11 reaches the maximum value Max1 for comparison (T3) is started. Specifically, the time (T2 to T3) from the time (T2) when the current resistance value starts to increase from the minimum value Min1 for comparison to the time (T3) when it reaches the maximum value Max1 for comparison, the flowchart of FIG. A second counter is provided in which +1 is added each time the value is repeatedly calculated by the calculation unit 12. That is, integration of +1 to the second counter is started in step S15.
- step S16 it is determined whether the current resistance value reaches the maximum value Max1 for comparison (T3).
- T3 the maximum value Max1 for comparison
- the process proceeds to step S17. Further, when it is determined that the current resistance value measured using each electrode 11 is not at the time (T3) when the maximum resistance value Max1 for comparison is reached, the calculation is terminated and the next calculation repeated in the calculation unit again. In step S11.
- the change speed is obtained. Specifically, the time (T3) from the time point (T2) when the current resistance value measured using each electrode 11 starts to rise from the minimum value Min1 for comparison to the time point (T3) when reaching the maximum value Max1 for comparison ( T2 to T3) are calculated. That is, the rate of change is obtained by multiplying the current value of the second counter at which the addition of +1 is started in step S15 by the time calculated by the flowchart of FIG. Can do. Then, the second counter is reset to zero.
- step S18 a slump value corresponding to the rotation speed and the change speed is obtained (step S18). Specifically, the rotation speed obtained in step S13 and the slump value corresponding to the change speed obtained in step S17 are obtained from the database recorded in the recording unit 13.
- the mixer vehicle according to the first embodiment only needs to measure the change rate of the resistance value using one type of electrode 11, and therefore, it is not necessary to provide a plurality of types of electrodes 11. . Further, this mixer vehicle obtains the slump value by using the change rate of the resistance value. Even if the mixed vehicle is cured with the ready-mixed concrete adhering to the electrode 11 and has an influence on the absolute value of the measured resistance value, it hardly affects the rate of change of the resistance value. For this reason, this mixer car can obtain

- the calculation unit 12 obtains the rate of change of the resistance value from the time (T2 to T3) when the resistance value measured using the electrode 11 changes from the minimum value Min1 to the maximum value Max1. For this reason, since this mixer vehicle can easily measure the minimum value Min1 and the maximum value Max1 of the resistance value using the electrode 11, the speed of change of the resistance value can be easily obtained.
- the calculation unit 12 obtains the rotational speed of the mixer drum 10 from one cycle (T1 to T5) of the resistance value measured using the electrode 11. For this reason, since this mixer vehicle can measure the rotational speed of the mixer drum 10 by using the electrode 11 for obtaining the change speed of the resistance value, it is not necessary to separately provide a tachometer or the like.
- the recording unit 13 records a database that stores the rotation speed of the mixer drum 10, the change speed of the electrical characteristics, and the slump value obtained from the rotation speed and the change speed. Further, the calculation unit 12 obtains the slump value from the database stored in the recording unit 13. For this reason, this mixer vehicle measures the rotational speed of the mixer drum 10 and the change speed of the electrical characteristics using the electrode 11, and records the values of the rotational speed and electrical characteristics of the mixer drum 10 recorded in the recording unit 13. By making it correspond to the changing speed, the slump value can be easily obtained.
- this mixer truck measures the rate of change in electrical characteristics from when the electrode 11 is buried in ready-mixed concrete until it is exposed to the space above the ready-mixed concrete. For this reason, when the mixer drum 10 rotates, the ready-mixed concrete thrown up is lifted along the inner peripheral surface of the mixer drum 10. As a result, the time taken for the electrode 11 rotating with the rotation of the mixer drum 10 to be exposed to the space above the ready-mixed concrete from the ready-mixed concrete is until it is buried in the ready-mixed concrete from the space above the ready-mixed concrete. Longer than the time it takes. That is, since this mixer vehicle can measure the side where the electrical characteristics change longer, the speed of change of the electrical characteristics can be obtained more accurately.

- this capacitance value is from the maximum value Max2 to the minimum value Min2 between the state in which each electrode 111 is completely buried in the readymixed concrete until it is completely exposed to the space above the readymixed concrete (T12 to T13). Gradually descend toward That is, this capacitance value is periodically shifted between the minimum value Min2 and the maximum value Max2 as each electrode 111 moves on the circumference in the vicinity of the inner peripheral surface of the mixer drum 10 as the mixer drum 10 rotates. To do. That is, one cycle of this capacitance value is T11 to T15. This means that the mixer drum 10 has made one revolution in this one cycle.
- the rotation speed when the mixer drum 10 is rotated and the ready-mixed concrete is agitated is measured by using the electrodes 111 that move with the rotation of the mixer drum 10. This is the reciprocal of one cycle (T11 to T15) of the capacitance value. That is, the rotation speed is obtained by the calculation unit 12 from one cycle (T11 to T15) of the capacitance value, which is a predetermined electrical characteristic measured using each electrode 111.
- the rate of change reached the minimum value Min2 from the time point (T12) when the periodically changing capacitance value measured using the respective electrodes 111 moving with the rotation of the mixer drum 10 started to decrease from the maximum value Max2. This is the time (T12 to T13) until the time (T13). That is, for the change speed, the calculation unit 12 obtains the time (T12 to T13) during which the capacitance value measured using each electrode 111 changes from the maximum value Max2 to the minimum value Min2. That is, the change rate of the capacitance value from the state where each electrode 111 is completely buried in the ready-mixed concrete until it is completely exposed to the space above the ready-mixed concrete is measured.
- the rotation speed and the change speed can be obtained by the calculation unit 12 from the capacitance value measured using each electrode 111.
- the slump value can be obtained by the computing unit 12 using the database recorded in the recording unit 13 from the rotation speed and the change speed obtained by the computing unit 12.

Further, this mixer vehicle obtains the slump value by using the change rate of the capacitance value. Even if this mixer car is hardened with ready mixed concrete adhering to the electrode 111 and has an influence on the absolute value of the measured capacitance value, it hardly affects the rate of change of the capacitance value. . For this reason, this mixer vehicle can obtain the slump value without being affected by the state around the electrode 111.
- the mixer truck of the second embodiment can also satisfactorily obtain the slump value of ready-mixed concrete stirred by the mixer drum 10.
- the calculation unit 12 calculates the capacitance value from the time (T12 to T13) when the capacitance value measured using the electrode 111 changes from the maximum value Max2 to the minimum value Min2. Seeking the rate of change. For this reason, since this mixer vehicle can easily measure the maximum value Max2 and the minimum value Min2 of the capacitance value using the electrode 111, the change rate of the capacitance value can be easily obtained.
- the calculation unit 12 obtains the rotational speed of the mixer drum 10 from one cycle (T11 to T15) of the capacitance value measured using the electrode 111. For this reason, since this mixer vehicle can determine the rotation speed of the mixer drum 10 using the electrode 111 for determining the change rate of the capacitance value, it is not necessary to separately provide a tachometer or the like.
- the recording unit 13 records a database that stores the rotation speed of the mixer drum 10, the change speed of the electrical characteristics, and the slump value obtained from the rotation speed and the change speed. Further, the calculation unit 12 obtains the slump value from the database stored in the recording unit 13. For this reason, this mixer vehicle measures the rotational speed of the mixer drum 10 and the change speed of the electrical characteristics using the electrode 111 and records the values in the recording unit 13 for the rotational speed and electrical characteristics of the mixer drum 10. By making it correspond to the changing speed, the slump value can be easily obtained.
- this mixer truck measures the rate of change in electrical characteristics from when the electrode 111 is buried in ready-mixed concrete until it is exposed to the space above the ready-mixed concrete. For this reason, when the mixer drum 10 rotates, the ready-mixed concrete thrown up is lifted along the inner peripheral surface of the mixer drum 10. Thereby, the time taken for the electrode 111 rotating with the rotation of the mixer drum 10 to be exposed in the space above the ready-mixed concrete from the ready-mixed concrete is until it is buried in the ready-mixed concrete from the space above the ready-mixed concrete. Longer than the time it takes. That is, since this mixer vehicle can measure the side where the electrical characteristics change longer, the speed of change of the electrical characteristics can be obtained more accurately.

Abstract
Description
<実施形態1>
実施形態1のミキサ車は、図1に示すように、車体50、ホッパ(hopper)50C、シュート(chute)50D、及びミキサ10Jを備えている。
実施形態2のミキサ車は、2つの電極111の構造、及びこれら電極111の互いの間の静電容量値を測定している点が実施形態1と異なる。他の構成は実施形態1と同様であり、実施形態1と同一の構成は同一の符号を付して詳細な説明は省略する。
本発明は上記記述及び図面によって説明した実施形態1及び2に限定されるものではなく、例えば次のような実施形態も本発明の技術的範囲に含まれる。
(1)実施形態1では、回転速度と変化速度とに対応する複数のスランプ値をデータベースに保存して記録部に記録しているが、回転速度と変化速度とにレディミクストコンクリートの積載量を加えて、これら3種類の値に対応するスランプ値をデータベースに保存して記録部に記録してもよい。この場合、レディミクストコンクリートの積載量は各電極がレディミクストコンクリートの上側の空間を移動する時間と、レディミクストコンクリートの中を移動する時間との比率を基にして求める。詳しくは、レディミクストコンクリートの積載量が異なると、各電極がレディミクストコンクリートの中からレディミクストコンクリートの上側の空間に完全に露出するときのミキサドラムの下端から回転軸を結ぶ架空線と各電極から回転軸を結ぶ架空線とがなす角度が変化する。これにより、レディミクストコンクリートのスランプ値が変わらなくても抵抗値や静電容量値の変化速度が変化する。このため、レディミクストコンクリートの積載量を加えたデータベースを用いることによって、より正確なスランプ値を求めることができる。
(2)実施形態1及び2では、回転速度を演算部で求めているが、演算部で求めなくてもよく回転計等を設けて回転速度を求めてもよい。
(3)実施形態1では、各電極を利用して測定した抵抗値が最小値から最大値に変化した時間を変化速度として用いている。これに限らず、抵抗値が最小値から上昇して最大値に到達するまでの間の中間の時間を変化速度として用いてもよい。
(4)実施形態2では、各電極を利用して測定した静電容量値が最大値から最小値に変化した時間を変化速度として用いている。これに限らず、静電容量値が最大値から下降して最小値に到達するまでの間の中間の時間を変化速度として用いてもよい。
(5)実施形態1では、各電極を利用して測定した抵抗値が最小値から最大値に変化した時間を変化速度として用いている。これに限らず、各電極を利用して測定した抵抗値が最大値から最小値に変化した時間を変化速度として用いてもよい。
(6)実施形態2では、各電極を利用して測定した静電容量値が最大値から最小値に変化した時間を変化速度として用いている。これに限らず、各電極を利用して測定した静電容量値が最小値から最大値に変化した時間を変化速度として用いてもよい。
(7)実施形態1では、動力源であるエンジンから得た回転力をミキサドラムに伝達して用いているが、動力源はエンジンでなくてもよく、電動モーター等から得た回転力を動力源として用いてもよい。
(8)実施形態1では、ミキサ車であったが、これに限らず、作業現場等にフレームを設置してミキサドラムを回転自在に搭載したミキサであってもよい。この場合、ミキサドラムを回転する回転力を電動モーター等から得てもよい。
