Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings, but the scope of the present invention is not limited to the illustrated examples.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a specimen formwork 1 according to this embodiment, as viewed from the bottom plate side.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the specimen formwork 1 in this embodiment as viewed from the open side.
FIG. 3 is a front view, a rear view, a right side view, and a left side view of the specimen formwork 1 in this embodiment.
FIG. 4 is a plan view, a bottom view, and a cross-sectional view of the specimen formwork 1 in this embodiment.
1 to 4, the specimen formwork 1 has a cylindrical body 10, a bottom plate 20, and a platform 30. The cylindrical body 10, the bottom plate 20, and the platform 30 are injection molded from a transparent or semi-transparent synthetic resin, and the above components are integrally formed.
The cylindrical body 10 is made of synthetic resin and has a cylindrical shape with a diameter of 5 cm and a height of 12 cm. The cylindrical body 10 also includes a side groove 12, an auxiliary protrusion 14, and a flange 17.

The side grooves 12 are grooves formed on the outer wall surface of the cylindrical body 10, and are continuous from one end where the bottom plate 20 is provided to the other open end. In this example, the side grooves 12 are formed in two lines in the vertical direction of the cylindrical body 10, connecting both ends of the cylindrical body 10 in a straight line. At one end where the bottom plate 20 is provided, the side grooves 12 are continuous with the two bottom grooves 24 formed in the bottom plate 20. The thickness of the cylindrical body 10 at the location where the side wall grooves 12 are provided is formed to a thickness that will tear when acted upon, for example, by the protrusions 22. Specifically, the depth of the side grooves 12 is such that they will tear when pulled by human force. This separates the area between the side grooves 12 (hereinafter referred to as area 50) from the cylindrical body 10. The side wall grooves 12 are also formed to be interconnected with the bottom grooves 24. The region 50 that can be torn open from the cylindrical body 10 by manual pulling is integrated with the auxiliary protrusion 14, which will be described later, and the region 51 surrounded by the bottom groove 24.

The auxiliary protrusion 14 is a protrusion formed at the open end of the cylindrical body 10 and is connected to the region sandwiched between the side grooves 12 .
The flange 17 is a collar formed at the open end of the cylindrical body 10. The flange surface of the flange 17 is formed to be smooth.

The bottom plate 20 is a plate-shaped material made of synthetic resin, and closes one opening of the cylindrical body 10. In this example, the bottom plate 20 is thin and disk-shaped. The bottom plate 20 also includes a protrusion 22, a bottom groove 24, and a reinforcing plate 26.

The protrusion 22 is a protrusion that protrudes from the same surface of the bottom plate 20 as the surface on which the reinforcing material 26 is provided. In other words, the protrusion 22 is a protrusion that protrudes from the outer surface of the bottom plate 20. For example, the protrusion 22 is a cylinder with a height of 1.0 mm to 3.0 mm, but is not limited to this and may be any size and shape that can be pinched with pliers or the like. In this example, the protrusion 22 is a cylinder that protrudes outward from the center of the circular bottom plate 20. The protrusion 22 is located within the area surrounded by the bottom groove 24.

The bottom groove 24 is a groove formed on the same surface of the bottom plate 20 as the surface on which the reinforcing member 26 is provided. The bottom groove 24 is a groove formed on the wall surface on the outside of the bottom plate 20 (i.e., located on the outside of the cylindrical body 10). The bottom groove 24 in this example is formed to surround the protrusion 22 and the reinforcing member 26, and is continuous with the two side grooves 12 at the outer edge of the bottom plate 20. From there, two grooves extend at equal intervals toward the center of the bottom plate 20, and draw arcs from both sides of the protrusion 22 with the protrusion 22 as the center.
The thickness of the bottom plate 20 at the position where the bottom groove 24 is provided is formed to a thickness that allows it to tear open when acted upon by the protrusion 22, for example. Specifically, the depth of the bottom groove 24 is such that it will tear open when pulled by human force. As a result, the area sandwiched between the bottom grooves 24 (hereinafter, area 51) is separated from the bottom plate 20. Note that area 51, which tears open from the bottom plate 20 when pulled by human force, is integrated with the auxiliary protrusion 14 and area 50.

The reinforcing plate 26 is a plate-like protrusion that is provided upright on the outer surface of the bottom plate 20. The reinforcing plate 26 is provided with a length extending from the outer edge of the bottom plate 10 toward the center. In this example, the reinforcing plate 26 is a plate material with a height of 1.0 mm to 3.0 mm, and is provided with its longitudinal direction extending from the outer edge of the bottom plate 10 toward the protrusion 22 located at the center of the bottom plate 10. The height (length in the short direction) of the reinforcing plate 26 is such that the end face of the reinforcing plate 26 and the end face of the pedestal 30 are approximately the same height. "Approximately the same height" refers to a height at which the end face of the reinforcing plate 26 and the end face of the pedestal 30 are approximately aligned. Note that "approximately the same height" also includes a height where there is a slight step between the end face of the reinforcing plate 26 and the end face of the pedestal 30, as long as deformation of the bottom plate 10 is within the allowable range. The reinforcing plate 26 includes a reinforcing plate connected to the inner wall surface of the platform 30 (described below) and a reinforcing plate located within the region 51.

The pedestal 30 is a platform provided along the outer edge of the bottom plate 20 in the longitudinal direction of the cylindrical body 10. The pedestal 30 protrudes to the same height as the protrusion 22 or higher than the protrusion 22, and is provided excluding the region 51. The portion of the pedestal 30 excluding the region 51 is referred to as the cutout 28.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating the side grooves 12 and bottom grooves 24 of the specimen formwork 1 in detail.
As shown in FIG. 5 , the thickness t of the bottom plate 20 at the position where the bottom groove 24 is provided is, for example, 0.3 mm to 0.4 mm, and in this example, 0.35 mm, at the position of the bottom groove 24a (the bottom groove 24 in the arc-shaped portion). The thickness t of the bottom plate 20 at the position of the bottom groove 24b (the bottom groove 24 in the double-stripe portion at the outer edge of the bottom plate 20) is, for example, 0.6 mm to 0.7 mm, and in this example, 0.65 mm. The thickness of the bottom plate 20 at the position where the bottom groove 24 is provided in this example is gradually increased from the center of the bottom plate 20 toward the outer edge. Therefore, the thickness gradually increases from 0.35 mm to 0.65 mm from the center toward the outer edge. This makes it easier to tear.
The thickness t of the cylindrical body 10 at the position where the side groove 12 is provided is uniform, for example, 0.6 mm to 1.2 mm, and in this example, 1.1 mm. Note that the thickness of the cylindrical body 10 at the position where the side groove 12 is provided may be formed so as to gradually increase from one end of the cylindrical body 10 where the bottom plate 20 is provided toward the open end.
In this way, the thickness t of the bottom plate 20 at the position where the bottom groove 24 is provided is formed thinner than the thickness t of the cylindrical body 10 at the position where the side wall groove 12 is provided.

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating the specimen formwork 1 filled with the raw material of the specimen.
FIG. 6(A) is a diagram illustrating a specimen formwork 1 having a reinforcing plate 26, and FIG. 6(B) is a diagram illustrating a specimen formwork 1 without a reinforcing plate 26.
As shown in Fig. 6(A), when a relatively heavy raw material is filled into the specimen formwork 1 to the extent that it deforms, the bottom plate 20 of the specimen formwork 1 deforms. On the other hand, as shown in Fig. 6(B), the reinforcing plate 26 is located between the bottom plate 20 and the installation surface of the specimen formwork 1, so the bottom plate 20 does not deform.
In this way, the specimen formwork 1 of this example can prevent deformation of the bottom plate 20 even when relatively heavy raw materials are filled to the extent that the specimen formwork 1 is deformed, and a good specimen can be produced.

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating the specimen formwork 1 in an exploded state.
As illustrated in Figure 7, in this example, by pulling the protrusion 22 or the auxiliary protrusion 14, the areas surrounded by the side groove 12 and the bottom groove 24 illustrated in Figure 1, i.e., areas 50 and 51, can be removed from the specimen formwork 1, allowing the specimen formwork 1 to be opened wide.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a method for manufacturing a test piece.
As shown in Fig. 8(A), a worker first fills the cylindrical interior of the specimen formwork 1 with raw material for the specimen (e.g., concrete, mortar, etc.). Because the specimen formwork 1 is made of a translucent resin, the state of the raw material inside the specimen formwork 1 can be visually confirmed. Furthermore, the specimen formwork 1 can prevent expansion and deformation in the thickness direction of the bottom plate 20 by using a reinforcing plate 26. Note that in this example, the specimen formwork 1 is filled to capacity with raw material for convenience, but the present invention is not limited to this.
Next, as illustrated in Figure 8 (B), after the raw material of the filled specimen has hardened, the worker pulls the protrusion 22, cleaving the bottom groove 24 and the side groove 12 in that order, and removes the areas 50 and 51.
As illustrated in Figure 8 (C), after removing the areas 50 and 51 surrounded by the grooves (side groove 12 and bottom groove 24) from the specimen formwork 1, the worker opens the specimen formwork 1 and demolds the specimen C that has hardened within the specimen formwork 1, thereby obtaining the specimen C.

As described above, the specimen formwork 1 of this embodiment can prevent expansion and deformation of the bottom plate 20 in the plate thickness direction, making it possible to manufacture a cylindrical specimen with a smooth bottom surface. Furthermore, the specimen formwork 1 has grooves formed only on the outer surface, while the inner surface is smooth, making it possible to manufacture a specimen with a smooth surface. Furthermore, because the specimen formwork 1 of this embodiment is integrally molded from a transparent or translucent resin, raw materials can be filled into the specimen formwork 1 while visually checking the state of the raw materials, which allows the raw materials to be filled while reducing air bubbles.
Furthermore, by splitting the specimen formwork 1 of this embodiment from the bottom side, a specimen with little damage can be obtained, which is particularly suitable for producing a specimen with a relatively low hardness.
In addition, since the specimen form 1 of this example is integrally molded from resin, there is no need to separate it when disposing of it. Furthermore, multiple specimen form 1 to be disposed of can be collected together, reducing the volume of waste.

Next, a modified example of the above embodiment will be described. In the modified example, elements having substantially the same functions and configurations as those in the above example will be assigned the same reference numerals and redundant description will be omitted.
[Modification 1]
FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a first modified example of the specimen formwork 1 of the embodiment.
In the case of a relatively large specimen formwork 10, ribs 19 may be provided on the outer surface of the cylindrical body 10, as shown in Fig. 9. For example, the ribs 19 are integrally molded from resin, like the other components. In this example, the ribs 19 have the shape of a long, thin quadrangular prism extending from the upper end to the lower end of the specimen formwork 1 (from the position of the flange 17 to the tip of the pedestal 30). The shape of the ribs 19 may be a triangular prism, a cylinder, a semi-cylinder, or the like.
Such ribs 19 can suppress deformation of the specimen formwork 1 and are therefore suitable, for example, when the cylindrical body 10 has a diameter of 10 cm and a height of 22 cm.

[Modification 2]
FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a second modified example of the specimen formwork 1 of the embodiment.
FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a second modified example of the specimen formwork 1 of the embodiment.
As illustrated in FIGS. 10 and 11, the specimen formwork 1 of this example may have a configuration in which a reinforcing member 60 is attached to the outer side surface of the cylindrical body 10.
The specimen formwork 1 of this example has a configuration that makes it easier to tear the regions 50 and 51 from the cylindrical body 10 illustrated in FIG. 1 by hand. In this example, to make it easier to tear the regions 50 and 51 from the cylindrical body 10, the thickness t of the cylindrical body 10 at the location of the side groove 12 is made as thin as possible, for example, a uniform thickness of 0.5 mm or less. Therefore, when the raw material of the specimen is filled, the thickness at the location of the side groove 12 causes the side wall surface of the cylindrical body 10 to expand and deform in the thickness direction. Therefore, in this example, a reinforcing member 60 is attached to the outer side of the cylindrical body 10, thereby achieving both ease of tearing by hand and prevention of expansion and deformation of the cylindrical body 10. Details of this configuration are described below.

The reinforcing member 60 is a detachable sheet material that can be torn by hand. The reinforcing member 60 includes a support made of paper, cloth, or synthetic resin, and an adhesive layer laminated on the support. The reinforcing member 60 of this example includes a synthetic resin support formed by alternating warp and weft threads, and is less likely to stretch in the warp and weft directions. Because the reinforcing member 60 is woven with alternating warp and weft threads, it can be torn by hand along the weave. The reinforcing member 60 may also be a knitted sheet material (including a mesh material) as long as it is a sheet material that can be torn by hand. The reinforcing member 60 may also be transparent or translucent to the extent that the interior of the tubular body 10 can be seen.
The width of the reinforcing member 60 is, for example, 25 mm or more and 100 mm or less, and the width of the reinforcing member 60 in the present example illustrated in Figures 10 and 11 is 50 mm. The thickness of the reinforcing member 60 is a thickness that allows it to be torn by hand and that makes it less likely to stretch or contract than the cylindrical body 10 when placed on the wall surface of the cylindrical body 10, for example, a thickness of 0.1 mm or more and 0.5 mm or less. Preferably, the thickness of the reinforcing member 60 is 0.1 mm or more and 0.3 mm or less, and in this example, it is 0.13 mm.
The reinforcing member 60 is positioned at a position where the cylindrical body 10 will expand and deform when filled with raw material for the test specimen. The reinforcing member 60 illustrated in FIG. 10 is positioned in the longitudinal direction of the cylindrical body 10. The reinforcing member 60 is positioned at a position including the side groove 12 and the region 50. When the cylindrical body 10 is filled with raw material for the test specimen, the side groove 12 is thinner than the other side surfaces, and therefore expands and deforms in the thickness direction of the cylindrical body 10. Therefore, it is preferable to position the reinforcing member 60 at a position including the side groove 12 and the region 50. Alternatively, the reinforcing member 60 may be positioned on the entire outer surface of the cylindrical body 10 as long as it includes the side groove 12 and the region 50. In this way, by positioning the reinforcing member 60 at a position including the side groove 12 and the region 50 of the cylindrical body 10, a good test specimen can be obtained even if the thickness t of the cylindrical body 10 at the position where the side groove 12 is provided is uniform throughout the entire vertical direction of the cylindrical body 10.

11 is arranged around the cylindrical body 10 in the circumferential direction. The reinforcing member 60 is arranged, for example, in the vertical direction (material axis direction) of the cylindrical body 10 so as to include a position 1/3 from the bottom plate 20 side, in other words, a position 2/3 from the flange 17 side. When the cylindrical body 10 is filled with the raw material of the test specimen, a load is applied to the position 1/3 from the bottom plate 20 side, and the cylindrical body 10 expands and deforms in the plate thickness direction of the cylindrical body 10. For this reason, it is preferable to arrange the reinforcing member 60 at a position 1/3 from the bottom plate 20 of the cylindrical body 10.
In this way, even if the raw materials of the test specimen are filled into a test specimen formwork 1 in which a reinforcing member 60 is arranged on the wall surface of the cylindrical body 10, the reinforcing member 60 can suppress expansion deformation of the cylindrical body 10 in the thickness direction.
Furthermore, since the reinforcing member 60 can be torn by hand along the weave, after the raw materials of the filled specimen have hardened, the protrusion 22 can be pulled to tear open the bottom groove 24 and then the side groove 12, and the reinforcing member 60 can be torn as regions 50 and 51 are removed from the cylindrical body 10, eliminating the need to separately peel the reinforcing member 60 from the cylindrical body 10.

[Modification 3]
FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a third modified example of the specimen formwork 1 of the embodiment.
As illustrated in FIG. 12, the specimen formwork 1 of this example may have a configuration in which a reinforcing member 62 is disposed on the bottom plate 20 of the cylindrical body 10 .
The reinforcing member 62 is a metal plate having at least one smooth surface. The reinforcing member 62 may be a flat plate primarily composed of, for example, stainless steel, aluminum, iron, or steel, or may be a plate with a plated surface. The reinforcing member 62 in this example is a bonded steel plate with a zinc-plated surface, and is a flat plate with smooth surfaces on both sides. The shape of the reinforcing member 62 is the same as the inner diameter of the cylindrical body 10, and the reinforcing member 62 in this example is a circular shape, the same as the inner diameter of the cylindrical body 10. The size of the reinforcing member 62 is large enough to cover a portion of the bottom plate 20 of the cylindrical body 10, and the reinforcing member 62 in this example is approximately the same as the inner diameter of the cylindrical body 10 (including a size slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the cylindrical body 10). Furthermore, the thickness of the reinforcing member 62 is a thickness that does not deform in the thickness direction even when the raw materials of the specimen are filled into the specimen formwork 1, for example, a thickness of 0.3 mm or more and 1.5 mm or less, and the thickness of the reinforcing member 62 in this example is 1 mm.
The reinforcing member 62 is placed on the bottom plate 20 inside the cylindrical body 10 before the raw materials of the specimen are filled into the specimen formwork 1. The placed reinforcing member 62 is placed at a position where the bottom plate 20 will expand and deform, in this example, so as to cover the entire bottom plate 20.
In this way, even if the raw materials of the specimen are filled into the specimen formwork 1 with the reinforcing member 62 placed on the bottom plate 20, the reinforcing member 62 can suppress expansion deformation of the bottom plate 20 in the thickness direction.
