The invention provides a flexible jack. The jack comprises a cylinder, a
piston rod and a
piston; the
piston divides the cylinder into an upper oil cylinder and a lower oil cylinder, a pressure oil
nozzle is arranged on the lower portion of the lower oil cylinder, and a pressure relief oil
nozzle is arranged on the upper portion of the upper oil cylinder; a flexible cavity is formed in the portion, away from the ejection end of the piston or on a lower convex block at the bottom of the cylinder, of the
piston rod, the flexible cavity is internally provided with a flexible pressure-bearing
capsule matched with the cavity shape, a flexible pressure-bearing
capsule mat is arranged on the portion, located at an opening of the flexible cavity, of the flexible pressure bearing
capsule, the areaof the flexible pressure-bearing capsule mat is equal to the effective output area of the lower oil cylinder, and the flexible pressure-bearing capsule mat is fixedly connected with the opening of theflexible cavity; the flexible pressure-bearing capsule is communicated with the lower oil cylinder through an oil through hole. Accordingly, a force transferring path is definite, the problems that in an existing rock
mass mechanics test, a hydraulic (force) steel pillow, the flexible jack and an ordinary jack are used, rock
mass stress measurement is inaccurate, compressive rock
mass or rigid plate stress is nonuniform, and deformation deviation exits are solved, and the rock mass
mechanics test quality is improved.
