Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of soil moisture content detection technology, specifically a device for detecting the moisture content of roadbed soil. Background Technology
[0002] The roadbed is an important component of the road structure, forming a complete transportation route together with bridges and tunnels. The roadbed soil is the key carrier in the earthwork of roadbed construction, supporting the pavement structure and transferring loads to the foundation. The compaction quality of the roadbed is the basis of its bearing capacity. The effect of moisture content on compaction effect follows a parabolic relationship. Only when the moisture content is close to the optimum moisture content can the friction and cohesion between soil particles reach equilibrium, thus achieving the maximum dry density. Furthermore, the stability of the roadbed depends on the shear strength of the soil, and moisture content is a key factor affecting shear strength. Therefore, it is necessary to test the moisture content of the roadbed soil during road construction. Thus, a device for testing the moisture content of roadbed soil is needed.
[0003] Existing devices for detecting the moisture content of subgrade soil employ probe rods for real-time and convenient detection. During this process, the probe rod needs to be inserted into the subgrade soil. Sometimes, when deeper areas need to be tested, tools are used to hammer or tampe the probe rod into the soil, or a hole is drilled for soil sampling. However, hammering or tamping the probe rod into the subgrade soil compresses the surrounding soil, increasing localized compaction and decreasing porosity, altering the original moisture distribution and dielectric properties. This results in measured values that are lower than the true values, with the effects being more pronounced in saturated soil. Drilling for soil sampling damages the original soil structure, making it difficult to restore the original density and porosity during backfilling. The backfilled area differs significantly from the original subgrade structure, creating false measurement zones and reducing the effectiveness of the detection device, thus failing to meet user needs. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention aims to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art; to this end, the present invention proposes a device for detecting the moisture content of roadbed soil.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0024] (1) The present invention uses a detection device and detection mechanism, with the probe rod, small lead spiral head, connector and drive structure working together to screw the probe rod into the position to be detected. The anti-disturbance isolation sleeve and axial protrusion can completely isolate the probe rod from the soil in the hole wall during the screwing process, avoiding the soil from being driven, disturbed or compacted. With the sewage discharge of the axial sewage discharge trough and the low-speed drive of the worm gear structure, the original structure of the soil will not be damaged, and the water content detection can be achieved without disturbance, without compression and with high precision. The inclined cutting block, spiral conveying rod, support block, fixing part, support seat, synchronous belt structure, first transmission rod, first transmission structure and transmission pipe can improve the sewage discharge effect of the axial sewage discharge trough, reduce the number of times the axial sewage discharge trough is blocked, and improve the accuracy and use effect of the detection device.
[0025] (2) The present invention uses a cleaning assembly, a protective box, an airbag, a jet pipe, a rotating seat, a first one-way valve, an air inlet pipe, a second one-way valve, and a squeezing block to clean the upper part of the axial sewage discharge tank, preventing soil from moving upward to the drive structure. The squeezing block moves up and down through the moving bar, drive block, contact block, and first bevel gear structure. The gas entering the airbag is filtered through the filter cover, filter box, and filter plate, extending the service life of the airbag. The filter plate is rotated for cleaning when the moving bar moves through the first cleaning scraper, connecting ring, second transmission gear ring, second transmission gear, main gear, lifting rack, second transmission rod, guide block, and buffer spring. The filter plate is rotated for cleaning through the third transmission rod, second protective box, bearing, first rotating gear, third transmission gear ring, third transmission gear, rotating ring, second cleaning scraper, and third cleaning scraper. The filter plate and filter cover are linked together to clean impurities, improve the cleaning effect of the filter plate and filter cover, and improve the use effect of the detection device.
[0026] (3) The present invention, through the coordinated use of the collection components, the fixed base, the protective box and the collection box, enables the first cleaning scraper to guide the cleaned impurities into the collection box through the discharge port. Through the structure of the fixed strip, the main rack, the second rotating gear, the first moving gear, the first moving rack and the second bevel gear, when the collection box is installed on the fixed base, the sealing block opens the discharge port, which facilitates the collection box to collect impurities. Through the structure of the first moving gear, the second moving gear, the moving block, the weight block and the second moving rack, when the collection box is disassembled, the sealing block is controlled to seal the discharge port, so as to avoid interfering with the work of the cleaning components, improve the collection efficiency of the collection components and improve the use effect of the detection device.

[0039] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0040] Example 1
[0041] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 6This application provides a device for detecting the moisture content of roadbed soil, including a detection device 1 and a detection mechanism connected to the detection device 1. The detection mechanism includes a probe rod 2 connected to the detection device 1 and a drive structure 3 for controlling the rotation of the probe rod 2. The detection mechanism also includes a small-lead spiral head 4 located at the bottom of the probe rod 2 and a connector 5 located at the upper part of the probe rod 2 and connected to the drive structure 3. An anti-disturbance isolation sleeve 6 is movably fitted on the outer side of the probe rod 2. An electrode area is provided on the probe rod 2, and the electrode area detects the moisture content of the roadbed soil through the anti-disturbance isolation sleeve 6. The probe rod 2 adopts a hollow design, so that the electrode wire runs inside the rod and is completely built-in. The outer side of the anti-disturbance isolation sleeve 6 has axial protrusions 7 arranged in a circular array. Several axial protrusions 7 work together to prevent the probe rod 2 from rotating. Friction causes the anti-disturbance isolation sleeve 6 to rotate, structurally ensuring that the anti-disturbance isolation sleeve 6 remains stationary. The outer wall of the anti-disturbance isolation sleeve 6 is treated with an ultra-smooth and wear-resistant finish. The upper end of the anti-disturbance isolation sleeve 6 has several micro-vent holes arranged in a circular array to avoid air blockage and difficulty in screwing in. The outer side of the anti-disturbance isolation sleeve 6 has several axial drainage grooves 8 arranged in a circular array. The axial drainage grooves 8 can be used in conjunction with the small lead screw head 4 to allow the soil and mud generated during the screwing of the probe rod 2 into the roadbed soil to be smoothly discharged along the drainage grooves, avoiding blockage of the electrode area or increased screwing resistance. The lower end of the anti-disturbance isolation sleeve 6 is close to and fits against the rear end of the small lead screw head 4, and is movably sealed with the probe rod 2. The upper end of the anti-disturbance isolation sleeve 6 extends to the bottom of the drive structure 3 housing and is fixedly sealed.
[0042] In this embodiment, at the subgrade soil to be tested, the probe rod 2 is stably aligned with the subgrade soil, and the drive structure 3 is activated, causing the connector 5 to drive the probe rod 2 to rotate. The probe rod 2 drives the small-lead spiral head 4 to rotate and enter the soil. The probe rod 2 drives the anti-disturbance isolation sleeve 6 to move downward, causing the anti-disturbance isolation sleeve 6 to drive the axial protrusion 7 to move in the soil. The small-lead spiral head 4 guides the soil and mud generated during the spiraling process into the axial drainage trough 8, which discharges the mud through the axial drainage trough 8. When the electrode area on the probe rod 2 moves to the position to be tested, the probe rod 2 is controlled by the detection device 1 to detect the moisture content in the soil.
[0043] In this invention, the inner upper and lower ends of the anti-disturbance isolation sleeve 6 are provided with low-friction guide rings that fit with the probe rod 2, making the probe rod 2 more stable during rotation. The lower end of the axial sewage discharge trough 8 is provided with a guide flared structure, which allows the small lead spiral head 4 to smoothly enter the axial sewage discharge trough 8, avoiding blockage and accumulation. The interior of the axial sewage discharge trough 8 is polished and rounded, making the mud discharge smoother and reducing soil disturbance.
[0044] In this invention, the drive structure 3 includes a drive housing 9, a worm gear structure 10 disposed inside the drive housing 9 and connected to the probe rod 2, and a drive motor 11 disposed outside the drive housing 9. The worm gear structure 10 is capable of reversing. The probe rod 2 is connected to the worm gear structure 10 via a connector 5. The upper end of the drive housing 9 is provided with an adapter for rotating the probe rod 2. The adapter is connected to the detection device 1 via an electrical wire. The upper end of the probe rod 2 passes through the drive housing 9. Anti-slip handles 12 are symmetrically provided on the outer side of the drive housing 9. An external support frame can also be attached to the drive housing 9 to facilitate the stable placement of the drive structure 3 on the roadbed. A rotation counting ring can be installed on the output shaft of the drive motor 11 to accurately calculate the depth based on the lead of the spiral head, thereby achieving fixed-depth detection. After the detection is completed, the worm gear structure 10 is reversed by the drive motor 11, thereby removing the probe rod 2 from the soil.
[0045] In this embodiment, when the drive structure 3 is started, the drive motor 11 drives the worm gear structure 10 to work, the worm gear structure 10 drives the connecting piece 5 to rotate, and the connecting piece 5 drives the probe rod 2 to rotate.
[0046] The detection mechanism of this invention also includes a sewage discharge assembly for assisting the axial sewage discharge trough 8 in sewage discharge. The sewage discharge assembly includes several inclined cutting blocks 13 aligned and arranged at the guide flared structure of the axial sewage discharge trough 8. The inclined cutting blocks 13 are designed to prevent large stones from entering the axial sewage discharge trough 8. The sewage discharge assembly also includes a spiral conveying rod 14 aligned with the axial sewage discharge trough 8 and a support block 15 located on the lower inner side of the axial sewage discharge trough 8 and rotatably connected to the bottom end of the spiral conveying rod 14.

The sewage discharge assembly also includes a fixing member 16 disposed at the lower end of the drive housing 9 and a support base 17 connected to the bottom end of the fixing member 16.

The top end of the spiral conveying rod 14 is rotatably disposed on the lower side of the support base 17. The timing belt structure 18 has a first connecting rod coaxially connected to the spiral conveying rod 14.

The sewage discharge assembly also includes a first transmission structure 20 that drives the probe rod 2 to connect with the first transmission rod 19.
[0047] In this embodiment, when the soil enters the guide funnel structure of the axial sewage discharge trough 8, the inclined cutting block 13 performs preliminary cutting on the soil and prevents large stones from entering the axial sewage discharge trough 8. When the probe rod 2 rotates, it drives the first transmission structure 20 to work, which in turn drives the first transmission rod 19 to rotate. The first transmission rod 19 drives the synchronous belt structure 18 to work, which in turn drives the spiral conveyor rod 14 to rotate, thus conveying the soil in the axial sewage discharge trough 8 upward and assisting the axial sewage discharge trough 8 in discharging sewage.
[0048] In this invention, the first transmission structure 20 includes a first transmission gear ring 21 disposed on the probe rod 2 and a plurality of first transmission gears 22 meshing with the first transmission gear ring 21. The bottom end of the first transmission gear 22 is coaxially provided with a transmission tube 23 that is inserted into the first transmission rod 19. When the probe rod 2 rotates, the transmission tube 23, the first transmission rod 19 and the synchronous belt structure 18 cooperate to control the spiral conveying rod 14 to perform conveying work through the first transmission gear ring 21 and the first transmission gear 22. In this invention, the fixing member 16 includes a first fixing block 24 fixedly disposed on the upper end of the support base 17 and a second fixing block 25 threadedly disposed on the first fixing block 24. The upper end of the second fixing block 25 is threadedly fixed to the drive housing 9.
[0049] In this embodiment, when the probe rod 2 rotates, it drives the first transmission gear ring 21 to rotate, the first transmission gear ring 21 drives the first transmission gear 22 to rotate, the first transmission gear 22 drives the transmission tube 23 to rotate, the transmission tube 23 drives the first transmission rod 19 to rotate, so that the first transmission rod 19 drives the synchronous belt structure 18 to work, and the synchronous belt structure 18 drives the spiral conveyor rod 14 to rotate, thereby conveying the mud in the axial sewage discharge trough 8 upward.

[0051] Based on Example 1, referring to Figure 4 - Figure 9This is the second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the detection mechanism further includes a cleaning component disposed on the drive housing 9 and used to clean the upper part of the axial drain trough 8. The cleaning component includes a protective box 26 detachably disposed at the lower end of the drive housing 9 and aligned with the support base 17, and an airbag 27 disposed inside the protective box 26. A compression block 37 is provided on the upper inner side of the protective box 26 to compress the airbag 27. The compression block 37 is connected to the airbag 27. A rotating seat 29 is provided at the lower end of the protective box 26, and a rotating part rotatably mounted on the rotating seat 29 is connected to the airbag 27. The 7-connected jet pipe 28 is equipped with a first one-way valve 30, which allows the jet pipe 28 to only blow air. One end of the jet pipe 28 can be aligned with the axial drain trough 8. The outer side of the protective box 26 is equipped with an air inlet pipe 31 that communicates with the airbag 27. A second one-way valve 32 is installed on the air inlet pipe 31, which allows the air inlet pipe 31 to only take in air. When the squeezing block 37 squeezes the airbag 27, the jet pipe 28 blows air into the axial drain trough 8, thereby cleaning the axial drain trough 8.
[0052] In this embodiment, the angle of the jet pipe 28 is adjusted by rotating the seat 29 so that the jet pipe 28 is aligned with the axial drain trough 8. When the squeezing block 37 moves downward, it squeezes the airbag 27, squeezing the gas inside the airbag 27 into the jet pipe 28, so that the jet pipe 28 blows air into the axial drain trough 8, cleaning the mud on the upper part of the axial drain trough 8 and preventing the mud from moving upward to the drive housing 9. When the squeezing block 37 moves upward, the air intake pipe 31 draws the external gas into the airbag 27.
