[0059] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention provides a test device for measuring the shear viscosity of sand under confined stress state, comprising:

[0060] Rack 1;

[0061] The soil sample lateral limit rotation mechanism includes a rotating cylinder and a constraint frame. The constraint frame is arranged on the frame 1. The rotating cylinder is rotatably connected to the constraint frame. The rotating cylinder is used to laterally constrain the soil sample and rotates with the soil sample during the experimental test.

[0062] The torque loading mechanism is arranged above the soil sample side limit rotation mechanism and is used to apply torque to the soil sample in the rotating cylinder and measure the torque at the same time;

[0063] A lifting mechanism is provided on the frame 1 and is used to adjust the height of the torque loading mechanism;

[0064] The vertical loading mechanism is provided on the frame 1 and is located below the soil sample side limit rotation mechanism. The vertical loading mechanism is used to apply vertical pressure to the soil sample in the rotating cylinder and measure the pressure at the same time.

[0065] The torque loading mechanism of the present invention can accurately apply and measure torque. Combined with the stable rotation of the rotating drum, it realizes dynamic regulation of shear rate and shear stress, and improves the control accuracy of the shear state. The combined design of the vertical loading mechanism and the rotating drum can simulate the complex stress state of sand foundation in actual engineering. By optimizing the rotating drum structure and the lateral constraint method, coarse-grained materials such as gravel-containing sand can be directly tested, expanding the scope of application of the rotational shear rheometer. By accurately measuring the shear viscosity of sand under complex stress states, key mechanical parameters can be provided for foundation treatment of filling projects and foundation projects.

[0066] The present invention solves the core pain points of traditional rotational shear rheometers in sand and soil testing, significantly improves the test accuracy and engineering relevance, and provides an efficient and reliable tool for studying the rheological properties of sand and soil in the field of geotechnical engineering.

[0067] Furthermore, the restraint frame includes a fixed seat 17, the cross-section of the fixed seat 17 is a circular ring structure, the top of the frame 1 is horizontally fixedly connected to the platform 16, the fixed seat 17 is fastened to the middle of the platform 16 by bolts, the rotating cylinder is slidingly set in the middle of the platform 16, and multiple restraint rods 23 are arranged on the fixed seat 17 at equal intervals along the circumference of the rotating cylinder. The tops of the multiple restraint rods 23 are commonly connected to the annular plate 20, and the outer wall of the rotating cylinder is in sliding contact with the restraint rods 23.

[0068] The constraint frame design achieves high-precision guidance and low-friction constraint of the rotating cylinder through an annular constraint system, sliding contact mechanism and modular structure, significantly improving the accuracy, stability and engineering applicability of shear viscosity testing under the lateral confined stress state of sand, and providing a reliable experimental platform for studying the rheological behavior of sand under complex stress paths.

[0069] Furthermore, the cross section of the restraining rod 23 is circular, and grease is applied between the restraining rod 23 and the rotating cylinder.

[0070] In this embodiment, the grease is damping grease G1023, which reduces the friction between the restraining rod 23 and the rotating cylinder.

[0071] The circular cross-section design of the restraint rod 23 and the grease application technology avoid the shear rate fluctuations caused by friction interference in traditional equipment by optimizing contact mechanical behavior and reducing friction loss, ensuring the uniformity of the shear strain of the soil sample, and significantly improving the test accuracy, stability and durability of the test device, providing key technical guarantees for the accurate measurement of shear viscosity under the lateral confining stress state of sand.

[0072] Furthermore, the cross section of the restraining rod 23 is rectangular, and a plurality of second balls 24 are embedded on the side of the restraining rod 23 close to the rotating cylinder. The second balls 24 are arranged at equal intervals along the extension direction of the restraining rod 23, and the second balls 24 are in rolling contact with the outer wall of the rotating cylinder.

[0073] The rectangular cross-section facilitates the creation of ball mounting grooves within the rod body, enabling embedded placement of the balls while maintaining the compactness of the rod's outer contour. This design optimizes the structural layout within limited rack space and facilitates the circumferential arrangement of multiple rods at equal spacing.

[0074] The rolling contact between the ball and the rotating cylinder converts the traditional sliding friction into rolling friction, reducing the friction coefficient. Through the synergistic effect of rigid constraint and low-friction rotation, the shear viscosity test under the sand confined stress state is achieved, minimizing the friction between the sand and the inner wall of the rigid ring 19, further improving the accuracy of the shear viscosity test under the sand confined stress state.

[0075] Furthermore, the rotating drum includes a plurality of rigid rings 19 , which are coaxially stacked and arranged, and two adjacent rigid rings 19 are slidably arranged, and the rigid ring 19 at the bottom is slidably matched with the fixing seat 17 .

[0076] The coaxial stacking design of multiple rigid rings 19 further reduces the friction between the rotating drum as a whole and the sand.

[0077] Furthermore, an annular groove 1 is formed on both the upper and lower end surfaces of the rigid ring 19 . The cross section of the annular groove 1 is semicircular. A plurality of second balls 24 are provided between the annular grooves on two adjacent rigid rings 19 .

[0078] Furthermore, a second annular groove is provided at the top of the fixing seat 17 , the second annular groove is provided corresponding to the first annular groove, and a plurality of balls 18 are provided between the second annular groove and the first annular groove.

[0079] Annular groove 1 on the end face of rigid ring 19 forms a rolling contact pair with ball 24, converting traditional planar sliding friction into pure rolling friction, reducing the friction coefficient. Furthermore, the semicircular cross-section of the groove radially limits the ball, preventing it from falling or shifting during testing and ensuring long-term operational stability.

[0080] The bottom rigid ring and fixed seat 17 form a second-level rolling support through annular groove 2 and ball 18, reducing sliding friction between the rotating cylinder and the base. This design enables the rotating cylinder to achieve "zero-friction rotation" under vertical pressure and torque. The torque measurement directly reflects the shear resistance of the soil sample, eliminating friction interference within the equipment itself.

[0081] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a vertical plate 10 fixedly connected to both ends of the platform 16, a bidirectional threaded rod 12 is rotatably connected between the top ends of the two vertical plates 10, one end of the bidirectional threaded rod 12 is connected to a crank 11, two threaded blocks 13 are threadedly connected to the bidirectional threaded rod 12, a slide 8 is provided below the bidirectional threaded rod 12, the torque loading mechanism is installed in the middle of the slide 8, the two threaded blocks 13 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the torque loading mechanism, the top of the slide 8 is fixedly connected to two articulated seats 9, one end of a pull rod 14 is hinged on any articulated seat 9, and the other end of the pull rod 14 is hinged on the threaded block 13.

[0082] In this embodiment, slide bars 6 are vertically connected to both ends of the platform 16. The two slide bars 6 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the torque loading mechanism. The top ends of the two slide bars 6 pass through the slide bar 8. A linear bearing is provided on the slide bar 8. The slide bar 6 is slidingly connected to the slide bar 8 through the linear bearing. The sliding sleeve on the slide bar 6 is provided with a spring 7. The spring 7 is elastically connected to the slide bar 8. When the crank 11 is shaken, the crank 11 drives the bidirectional threaded rod 12 to rotate, and the two threaded blocks 13 threadedly connected to the bidirectional threaded rod 12 approach each other. During this process, the thread block 13 pushes the slide bar 8 through the pull rod 14 to compress the spring 7 and move along the slide bar 6, thereby driving the torque loading mechanism to move downward so that its output end contacts the soil sample, and then the shaking of the crank 11 is stopped.

[0083] Furthermore, the torque loading mechanism includes a reduction motor 15 , an output shaft of the reduction motor 15 is fixedly connected to an upper pressing plate 22 , and a torque sensor 21 is provided on the output shaft of the reduction motor 15 .

[0084] During the experimental test, the upper pressure plate 22 is pressed on the top of the soil sample, and the upper pressure plate 22 is driven to rotate by the reduction motor 15, thereby increasing the rotational torque for the soil sample. The torque data can be obtained through the provided torque sensor 21 and transmitted to the test terminal; in the experimental test, according to the experimental requirements, the crank 11 can also be continued to be rotated to provide torque to the soil sample while providing vertical loading.

[0085] Furthermore, the middle part of the platform 16 is slidably connected to a push rod 5, the top end of the push rod 5 is coaxially connected to a lower pressure plate 25, the lower pressure plate 25 is coaxially arranged with the rotating cylinder, the bottom end of the push rod 5 is connected to a pressure sensor 4, the bottom end of the pressure sensor 4 is connected to a support plate 3, the vertical loading mechanism includes a loading device 2, the loading device 2 is installed in the frame 1, and the output shaft of the loading device 2 is in contact with the support plate 3.

[0086] In this embodiment, the loading device 2 is a hydraulic rod; before the test, the lower pressure plate 25 extends into the bottom of the rotating cylinder and supports the soil sample, and the output end of the loading device 2 is extended to press on the support plate 3. As the output end of the loading device 2 continues to extend, vertical loading of the soil sample is achieved, and the detected data is transmitted to the test terminal through the set pressure sensor 4.

[0087] The test device provided by the present invention is used to measure the shear viscosity of sand under the lateral limit stress state. The working principle is as follows: when in use, the annular groove 2 on the fixed seat 17 is filled with ball 18, and then the first rigid ring 19 is stacked on the fixed seat 17, so that the ball 18 enters the annular groove 2 at the bottom of the rigid ring 19, and then the lower pressure plate 25 is placed in the rigid ring 19. The top rod 5 at the bottom of the lower pressure plate 25 passes through the hole on the platform 16 and is connected to the pressure sensor 4 and the support plate 3 in sequence, and then the annular groove 1 at the upper end of the first rigid ring 19 is filled with ball 18, and the second rigid ring 19 is stacked. The above operation is repeated as required to complete the stacking of the last rigid ring 19 to form a rotating Cylinder, put the soil sample into the rotating cylinder according to the experimental requirements, and then shake the crank 11 to rotate. The rotating crank 11 drives the bidirectional threaded rod 12 to rotate, and the two threaded blocks 13 threaded on the bidirectional threaded rod 12 approach each other. In this process, the threaded block 13 pushes the slide plate 8 through the pull rod 14 to compress the spring 7 and move along the slide rod 6, thereby driving the reduction motor 15 to move downward, so that the upper pressure plate 22 on the output end extends into the rotating cylinder and contacts the top of the soil sample, and then stops shaking the crank 11, and then starts the loading device 2. The output end of the loading device 2 presses the support plate 3 and the lower pressure plate 25 to continuously load the soil sample, and at the same time starts the reduction motor 15 to perform tests according to the experimental requirements.
