Integrated carriage fogging system for concrete pavers

摘要

A concrete paver system with a reconfigurable hydration system which utilizes a plurality of individually flow controllable spray nozzles, which are clamped on support structures, which also support objects being dragged across a top surface of concrete which is being finished. The plurality of flow controllable spray nozzles being configured to be moved about said hydration system so as to change a pattern of water vapor application, all without the use of tools.

1. A concrete paver system comprising:
a concrete paver; comprising a finishing carriage; a hydration system configured to spray water on a concrete surface below the concrete paver; the hydration system being coupled to and transported along with said finishing carriage while said finishing carriage moves back and forth across a lateral extent of said surface of concrete; the hydration system comprising: a plurality of spray head assemblies each clamped to a single linear support structure coupled to and fully supported by said finishing carriage, wherein said single linear support structure does not act as a pipe, through which water used for hydration by the hydration system flows; a plurality of spray head assemblies clamped directly to a pan H frame assembly; each of said plurality of spray head assemblies being substantially functionally identical and each further comprising; a clamp frame; a spray nozzle, coupled to said clamp frame; and an individually controllable flow rate control valve coupled to said spray nozzle; and a connection to a water source.
