[0021] The technical solution of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with specific implementation methods and the accompanying drawings of the specification.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention comprises a circulation filter box 1, a bracket 2, a drying cover plate 3, a water collecting box 4, a water feeder 5, a control switch 6 and a rotating motor 7. The circulation filter box 1 is installed above the bracket 2.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of waterproof partitions 11 are arranged equidistantly inside the circulation filter box 1. The waterproof partitions 11 separate the groups of test rock samples, and the thickness of the partitions exceeds 2 mm from the bottom of the circulation filter box 1. The waterproof partitions 11 divide the internal space of the circulation filter box 1 into a plurality of independent areas to accommodate a plurality of samples. A sieve plate 13 is arranged at the bottom of the circulation filter box 1, and a plurality of sieve holes 15 are arranged on the sieve plate 13. The sieve holes are used to filter the debris generated by the test rock samples and the impurities generated during the experiment. The sieve plates with different hole diameters can be replaced according to the needs of the test. The sieve plate 13 has equidistant card slots 12 that are fixed to the excess 2 mm partitions. The circulation filter box of the corresponding diameter can be selected according to the requirements of the number of samples in the test.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the drying cover plate 3 is arranged above the circulation filter box 1, and the sample after being immersed in water is dried by the drying cover plate 3; specifically, the drying cover plate 3 is fan-shaped, and a plurality of groups of drying induction lamps 31 are arranged on the drying cover plate 3, and the drying induction lamps 31 are arranged one by one corresponding to the plurality of areas inside the circulation filter box 1. When the corresponding box is sensed to contain a rock sample, the drying induction lamp 31 is automatically turned on.

[0025] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the bracket 2 includes a bracket top plate 21 and three support rods 22. The bracket top plate 21 is a ring structure. The support rods 22 are installed around the bracket top plate 21, and the three support rods are arranged in a triangular structure. The circulation filter box 1 is placed above the bracket top plate 21; a circle of sliding balls 24 are arranged on the upper surface of the bracket top plate 21, and the bottom surface of the circulation filter box 1 is in contact with the sliding balls 24. A hole 23 is reserved in the center of the bracket top plate 21 for installing the rotating motor 7. A casing 71 is arranged outside the rotating motor 7, and a connecting rod 25 is connected between the casing 71 and each support rod 22 to increase the overall stability of the device. A plurality of transmission rods 14 are connected between the inner ring of the sieve plate 13 and the output shaft of the rotating motor 7, and the plurality of transmission rods 14 are equidistantly arranged in the inner ring of the sieve plate 13. When the rotating motor 7 rotates, the circulation filter box 1 is driven to rotate through the transmission rod. Since a circle of sliding balls 24 is arranged between the circulation filter box 1 and the bracket 2, when the rotary motor 7 drives the circulation filter box 1 to rotate, the friction resistance between the circulation filter box 1 and the bracket 2 will be greatly reduced, making the rotation smooth.

[0026] The water feeder 5 and the control switch 6 are installed outside one of the support rods 22, and the control switch 6 is located below the water feeder 5. The control switch 6 is electrically connected to the water feeder 5 and the rotating motor 7. The water outlet of the water feeder 5 is located above the circulation filter box 1, and the water feeder 5 can inject water into the circulation filter box 1. The control switch 6 is connected to the display 61, which displays the set single cycle time and number of cycles of the circulation filter box 1, and also displays the mass measured after each dry-wet cycle of the sample, so as to achieve fine automation, such as Figure 8 As shown. The number of cycles of different groups can be selected by operating the display 61. One rotation is one cycle. Samples with different cycle requirements can be put together for testing without interfering with each other, so that multiple groups of samples can be tested simultaneously, realizing batch testing and improving efficiency. A weighing device 8 is set on the top plate 21 of the bracket, and the weighing device 8 is used to weigh the weight of the sample in the circulating filter box 1. A leakage hole 9 is set in one-third of the area on the top plate 21 of the bracket for drainage.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the bottom of the bracket top plate 21 is connected to the water collecting box 4, the upper surface of the water collecting box 4 is open and a drainage pipe 41 is arranged on the side.

[0028] Assuming that the immersion saturation time of this test is 48 hours and the drying time is 24 hours, 18 groups of equidistant waterproof partitions 11 are selected in this example; therefore, the single cycle time is set to 72 hours on the control switch 6, that is, the rotation time of each group is 4 hours. Click OK to start, the weighing device 8 measures the weight of the sample and records it in the display 61, the water supply device 5 automatically fills with water, and then the rotating motor 7 starts to rotate, rotating once every 4 hours, each time rotating the distance of a group of waterproof partitions 11. After 48 hours, the area with the sample is transferred to the bottom of the drying cover plate 3. Since the top plate 21 of the bracket in the corresponding area is provided with a leakage hole 9, the water is discharged into the water collecting tank 4; the drying induction lamp 31 is turned on. Until it reaches the bottom of the water supply device 5, the sample is dried for 24 hours, and the weighing device 8 measures the sample mass again, that is, one cycle of dry and wet cycle is completed.

[0029] This device realizes fully automatic water supply and drainage, and does not require back and forth soaking and drying. The amount of rock samples for the cyclic test is large, and samples of different groups of dry-wet cycle times can be carried out simultaneously, making the test batch-based and avoiding the possibility of rock sample loss, making the experimental results more accurate and reliable, and greatly reducing the time of the test personnel and improving efficiency. The operation is simple and convenient.
