る。BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for drying aggregate for concrete, and more specifically, to a concrete and physical stability of concrete or an appropriate mixture of uncured concrete and aggregate. The present invention relates to a method for drying concrete aggregates (fine aggregates, coarse aggregates, etc.) used in tests to be performed in advance to determine design and other conditions, and an apparatus thereof.

ようにしている。2. Description of the Related Art Aggregates such as sand grains and crushed stones used for concrete are generally 50% of the total volume of the concrete, although there are some differences depending on the purpose of use of the concrete.
As mentioned above, it is an important constituent material which accounts for about 70% in many. Therefore, the selection of the size and type of aggregate and the design of the mixing ratio with respect to uncured concrete are important factors that affect the final strength, durability, stability, etc. of concrete. For this reason, in order to make the selection of the aggregate and the compounding ratio most accurate, the aggregate is tested in advance.

ている。In the above test, it is necessary to wash the aggregate with water in order to remove mud, salt, organic matter and dust from the sample aggregate. And, the test standard (JIS A 111) is still applied after the washing treatment.
Since the surface water ratio of 0 to 2% specified in 1 is not satisfied, the excess water adhering to the surface of the aggregate is dried.

確認するため、前記骨材をミキサに投入し、攪拌処理を
施して全体的に均質化させてから水分量を計測するよう
にしている。The drying process is as follows. That is, the washed aggregate is spread on an indoor floor to a thickness of about 5 to 10 cm so as not to be exposed to wind and rain, and then the surface of the spread aggregate is forcibly forced using an industrial fan or the like. Blow air to accelerate drying. Then, when the surface of the aggregate is dried after a certain period of time, an operator or the like turns over the ground using a scoop or the like, and forcibly blows air again with an industrial fan or the like. Repeat this work several times,
After the whole aggregate is dried, check whether the degree of drying of the aggregate surface, that is, the water content of the aggregate surface is 0 to 1% (however, it may be slightly different depending on the aggregate used in the test). Therefore, the aggregate is put into a mixer, subjected to a stirring treatment to be homogenized as a whole, and then the water content is measured.

うにしている。As a result of the measurement, when the surface of the aggregate does not reach within 0 to 1%, the drying process is repeated again. On the other hand, when the surface water rate becomes 0% or less due to excessive drying, water is sprinkled on the aggregate and the drying process is performed again from the beginning.

して使用できなくなる可能性もある。By the way, the following disadvantages have been pointed out with respect to the above-mentioned method of drying aggregate. In other words, the spread of aggregate after washing with water, the turning over and the introduction into the mixer mainly depend on the manual work by the worker, so the labor burden is large and the aggregate is spread indoors. In this case, the floor area corresponding to the amount of aggregate used in one test is generally 20 m 2 or more in most cases, and it is very difficult to secure a place having this size. Further, when a stirring process is performed in the final stage of the work, the use of a special stirring device not only increases the cost but also increases the labor of the work. Further, if the drying treatment is excessively repeated, physical destruction and deformation may occur due to abrasion and the like due to collision of each aggregate, and there is a possibility that it cannot be used as a test sample.

不可能である。In addition, ultra-high-strength concrete, super-fluidized concrete, and the like, which have been particularly in demand in recent years, differ from ordinary concrete in that the accuracy of the water-cement ratio, which is the mixing ratio of water and cement, is Since it directly and sharply affects the properties, it is necessary to finish the dispersion of the water content (the degree of dispersion of the water content) of the aggregate to be used for these super high strength and super fluidized concrete to be small. Specifically, in the mixing of the ultra-high strength concrete, the dispersion of the water content of the aggregate that can be tolerated is at most 0.1% of the water-cement ratio.
It must be within the range that does not change. Therefore, when the water-cement ratio is 20%, for example, the dispersion of the water content must be within 0.05%, and in order to achieve such a value, it is almost impossible with the conventional drying apparatus and method. is there.

た。In addition to the above-mentioned problems, generally, according to the conventional method for drying aggregates, it takes a lot of time to bring the aggregates after the water-washing treatment into a good dry state (surface water ratio within 0 to 1%). In addition, there is a drawback that it is susceptible to climate conditions such as requiring more time in high humidity such as summer, and that regular treatment plans are impaired. It was requested to provide a method for drying aggregate.

のであるときは、5rpm 前後で回転させるようにする。Next, a method for drying the aggregate used for the super-high-strength concrete or super-fluidized concrete by using the drying apparatus equipped with the rotary container 31 as described above will be explained. In this case, the steps described above are performed until the step of heating the aggregate that has been washed with water into the rotary container 31 and rotating the rotary container 31 by the electric motor 8 with a speed reducer while stirring and appropriately heating by the control device 25. The procedure is the same as in the first embodiment, but in particular, the rotation of the rotary container 31 is performed within the range of about 0.3 rpm to about 5 rpm. In other words, when the aggregate to be dried contains a large amount of mud or is likely to undergo physical changes,
Rotate at around 0.3 rpm, and if not applicable, rotate at around 5 rpm.

Since the aggregate hardly moves in the rotary container 31 in this state, it is obvious that good stirring is not performed. However, the return vane 33
As described above, since the width is formed to be equal to or more than the height at which the aggregates are stacked, good stirring is performed even when the rotation speed of the rotary container 31 is extremely low.

く、粒状化現象も防止される。Further, as the rotary container 31 rotates, the internal aggregate moves toward the closed end face 31b side, but this aggregate comes into contact with the surface of the return vane 33 on the front side in the rotational direction to rotate. While being returned to the opening 31c side of the container 31, the aggregate moving toward the opening 31c side of the rotating container 31 and spilling to the outside comes into contact with the surface of the spill prevention blade 34 on the front side in the rotation direction, The rotary container 31 is returned to the closed end surface 31b side. As a result, the aggregate is always agitated in the rotating container 31 in a state of being evenly dispersed, so that the drying does not locally progress or conversely the drying does not delay, and the dispersion of the moisture content of the aggregate is extremely reduced. Can be made smaller. Further, at the time of this stirring, the rotary container 31 is rotated at about 0.3 rpm so that the aggregate is brought into contact with the granulation preventing steel rod 35, so that the fine particles contained in the aggregate adhere to the aggregate. And the granulation phenomenon is prevented.

Let's temporarily turn the container 3
Stop the rotation of 1. Thereafter, the outside air is blown from the outside of the rotary container 31 to indirectly cool the aggregate accumulated in the rotary container 31 to a temperature close to the outside air. The blowing of the outside air may be performed by a device cooling device that is usually built in the kerosene burner 21 and the electric heater 22, but a blowing device may be newly provided. After cooling the aggregate to about the outside air temperature by blowing the outside air, the control device 25 drives the electric motor 8 with a speed reducer again to rotate the rotary container 31. At this time, the rotary container 31 is rotated within a range of about 5 rpm to about 20 rpm for about 2 minutes to about 3 minutes.

This figure shows the operating state of the drying device with respect to the drying time (upper time chart in the figure), and changes in the drying temperature and water content of the aggregate with respect to the drying time (lower graph in the figure). That is, while supplying hot air to the outside of the rotary container 31 (chart A is ON),
It can be seen that when the rotary container 31 is rotated at about 0.3 rpm (chart C is ON1), the water content (graph B) decreases as the temperature of the aggregate (graph A) rises.
After about 60 minutes have passed since the rotary container 31 was rotated,

であると結論できる。On the other hand, FIG. 9 shows the difference in water content between the aggregate on the closed end face 31b side of the rotary container 31 and the aggregate on the opening 31c side of the aggregate after the stirring and the stirring time. And the relationship with the total number of agitations, which proves that the agitation time for homogenizing the water content of the aggregate is about 2 minutes to about 3 minutes. That is, the graph a is 50 ° C. to 6 ° C. by the device and method described in the first embodiment.
When drying the 0 ° C aggregate in the rotary container 2 rotated at 18 rpm, the graph b shows 50 ° C to 6 ° C by using the apparatus described in the second embodiment and not adding the cooling step.
When the aggregate of 0 ° C is dried in the rotary container 31 rotated at 18 rpm, the graph c shows that the aggregate of the outside air temperature (about 20 ° C) is 18 by the apparatus and method described in the second embodiment.
When drying is performed in the rotary container 31 rotated at rpm, the graph d shows the target value of the difference in water content required for the aggregate used for the ultra-high strength concrete. As is clear from this figure, the graph c exceeds the graph d during the stirring time of about 1 minute to about 4 minutes, and therefore it can be seen that the target value can be reliably achieved. On the other hand, the graphs a and b do not reach the target value, and the aggregate used for special concrete such as super high strength concrete is
Drying with the apparatus and method described in the second embodiment is very suitable. From this, it can be concluded that the final stirring for homogenizing the water content of the aggregate is optimally about 2 minutes to about 3 minutes.
