The invention relates to a self-sinking circular foundation pit excavation simulation device. Characterized in that it is characterized in that it comprises, the device comprises a model box filled with a soil body (7), the model box comprises a model box body (6), a steel rod (1), a bidirectional motor (2), a controller and a plurality of sinking control rings (4), the bidirectional motor (2) isconnected to a controller, the steel rod (1) is welded to the bottom of the model box body (6), the bidirectional motor (2) is in sliding connection with the steel rod (1), a soil cutting blade (3) isarranged on the bidirectional motor (2), a fixing hole (5) is formed in the sinking control ring (4), and the soil cutting blade (3) is placed in the fixing hole (5). Compared with the prior art, themethod has the advantages that the stability of the fixed motion trail is high, and the error influence is reduced.
