Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of geotechnical engineering testing, and in particular relates to a device for lowering a static penetration probe rod and a protective tube in a static penetration test, and a use method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Static penetration test is an important in-situ testing method in geotechnical engineering investigation. It can obtain continuous soil layer test data and can intuitively judge the quality of the soil layer. It is widely used in engineering construction. However, since the static penetration rod is relatively slender, when it penetrates into the soil layer to a large depth, it is easy to cause adverse phenomena such as breakage, tilting, and bending. Therefore, it is necessary to lower a protective pipe in the shallow soil layer to prevent the static penetration rod from experiencing the above phenomena.

[0003] The conventional test method is to first use a static penetration instrument to penetrate the static probe rod connected to the static probe head into the soil to a predetermined depth and then pull it back after the test is completed. Then, use the static penetration instrument method or water flushing method to press the protective tube into the soil to a predetermined depth in turn. Then, use the static penetration instrument to lower the static probe rod connected to the static probe head again to the previously predetermined depth and continue to penetrate for testing.

[0004] The traditional test method of lowering the protective pipe has the following disadvantages: 1. Before lowering the protective pipe, it is necessary to first penetrate the static probe rod to complete the soil layer test at a predetermined depth and pull it back, then lower the protective pipe, and then restart the penetration of the static probe rod for testing. The whole process is cumbersome and takes a long time; 2. When the protective pipe is lowered by the water flushing method, a drilling rig is required, and the process is complicated. In addition, a large amount of mud will be generated during the drilling process, polluting the environment; 3. Since the static probe needs to be pulled back, continuous testing cannot be carried out, and the test cannot be carried out at the same position, which will affect the test accuracy; 4. Since the test data is collected twice, manual splicing is required, which affects the test efficiency.

[0005] In short, the traditional method of lowering the protective pipe in the static penetration test requires testing the soil layer in advance, and then using the static penetration instrument method or the drilling rig water jet method to lower the protective pipe. The process is cumbersome, not only time-consuming and consumes a lot of manpower, but also the mud generated is easy to pollute the environment. In addition, since the static penetration probe is penetrated twice, the continuity and the same position cannot be guaranteed, and the data collected twice need to be manually spliced, which affects the accuracy and efficiency of the test. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art, and to provide a device for lowering a static penetration probe rod and a protective tube, and a method for using and applying the device. By adopting a static penetration instrument, the static penetration probe rod and the protective tube can be quickly penetrated, thereby avoiding the tedious process of lowering the protective tube using a drilling rig water flushing method, and not generating mud. The static penetration probe can also be continuously penetrated, while improving the test efficiency and test accuracy, achieving the purpose of being both economical and environmentally friendly.

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution provided by the present invention is:

[0008] A device for lowering a static penetration probe rod and a protective tube comprises a protective tube, a protective tube sleeve, latching teeth, a cable, a conical connector, an L-shaped tooth groove, a static penetration probe, a static penetration probe rod, and a static penetration sleeve.

[0009] Specifically, the present invention provides a device for lowering a static penetration probe rod and a protective tube, comprising:

[0010] The protective tube is a steel tube with a threaded opening at the top, which can be connected section by section. The diameter is slightly larger than the static probe rod, and the static probe rod can be sleeved inside to play a protective role.

[0011] A protective tube sleeve, one end of which can be screwed to the protective tube, and the other end is tapered, with teeth welded on the inner side wall, respectively used to engage with the L-shaped tooth groove on the outer wall of the static probe;

[0012] The static probe has a conical connector at its top for screwing onto the static probe sleeve. A symmetrical L-shaped tooth groove is provided on the outer wall near the top of the static probe for engaging with the teeth in the protective tube sleeve.

[0013] The static probe rod is a steel pipe with a threaded end at one end, which can be connected section by section. The threaded end can be screwed to the static probe rod and the static probe sleeve;

[0014] A static probe casing, one end of which can be connected to the static probe rod, and the other end can be screwed to the conical connector of the static probe head, and a penetration test can be carried out after the connection.

[0015] A further preferred solution is that two latching teeth are welded on the inner side wall of the protective tube sleeve, which are respectively used to engage with the L-shaped tooth grooves on the outer wall of the static detection probe.

[0016] Another preferred solution is that two symmetrical L-shaped grooves are formed on the outer wall near the top of the static detection probe for engaging with the teeth in the protective tube sleeve.

[0017] A further preferred solution is that the protective tube is a steel tube with a length of 1 meter, and the static probe rod is a steel tube with a length of 1 meter.

[0018] The present invention further provides a method for using the static penetration probe rod and the protective tube lowering device:

[0019] The protective tube sleeve is embedded with the static detection probe and is screwed into the protective tube; one end of the static detection sleeve is screwed into the static detection rod, and the other end is screwed into the static detection probe; after the protective tube is lowered to a predetermined depth, the static detection rod and the static detection sleeve are lowered into the protective tube and the protective tube sleeve in sequence; after reaching the static detection probe, it is screwed together, and after the connection is completed, the static detection rod is pushed out of the protective tube and the protective tube sleeve to continue penetrating into the soil layer for testing; the cable is pulled out of the static detection probe, and led out of the ground from the static detection rod and the static detection sleeve.

[0020] The present invention further provides an application of the device for lowering the static penetration probe rod and the protective tube, comprising the following steps:

[0021] a. Before starting the test, determine the number of protective tubes and static penetration rods required based on the lowering depth of the protective tube and the static penetration test depth. First, insert the cable into the protective casing and the protective tube in sequence, then insert it into the static penetration casing and the static penetration rod in sequence. Then connect one end of the cable to the static penetration probe and the other end to the data acquisition instrument. Finally, insert the L-shaped tooth groove at the upper end of the static penetration probe into the tooth in the protective tube and tighten it to the right. After fixing the static penetration probe, install it into the static penetration instrument and start the test. Use static force to penetrate the connected static penetration probe, protective tube casing and protective tube into the soil layer, and connect the protective tubes in sequence until the penetration reaches the predetermined depth;

[0022] b. Use the static penetration instrument to lower the static penetration casing, screw on the static penetration rod in turn, and continue to lower it to the tapered connector on the upper end of the static penetration probe. Then start to rotate the static penetration casing, screw the tapered connector on the upper end of the static penetration probe into the static penetration casing, tighten the tapered connector, and then rotate the static penetration rod in the opposite direction to unscrew the embedded static penetration probe from the teeth. At this time, start the static penetration instrument to continue penetration, and penetrate the static penetration probe to the test depth through the static penetration rod. After the test data is collected, first pull back the protective tube, protective casing, and finally pull back the static penetration rod, static penetration casing and static penetration probe in turn, and the test is completed.

[0023] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0024] 1. A static penetration instrument can be used to lower the protective tube and the static penetration rod at the same position; 2. It avoids the need to lower the protective tube by water jet drilling, which simplifies the process, does not generate mud, and is environmentally friendly and economical; 3. It does not need to lower the static penetration rod twice, which saves time and improves work efficiency; 4. The static penetration probe can be penetrated continuously, avoiding the conventional two-time penetration and the need for manual splicing of test data; 5. Since the test position remains unchanged, the probe is penetrated continuously and there is no need for water jet drilling to expand the hole, which reduces interference factors and improves test accuracy.

The static probe rod 8 is a standard 1-meter-long steel pipe with a threaded opening at one end for connecting the static probe rod 8 to the static probe sleeve 9. The static probe sleeve 9 can be screwed onto the static probe rod 8 at one end and onto the tapered connector 5 of the static probe head 7 at the other end.

[0036] Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram of the combination and lowering of the entire static sounding rod, probe and protective tube.
