Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of underground engineering test devices, and in particular to a filling medium instability and destruction visualization test device. Background Art

[0002] In order to meet the needs of the transportation industry, in tunnel construction, it is sometimes inevitable to carry out tunnel excavation in unfavorable strata prone to geological disasters such as sudden water and mud. For example, underwater tunnel projects face technical difficulties such as long distances and high water pressure, which can easily lead to frequent geological disasters during underwater tunnel construction.

[0003] The seepage of water in the stratum medium is the main cause of sudden water disasters in tunnel projects. Seepage refers to the phenomenon that water penetrates the gaps in the soil medium under the action of water level difference. Common seepage damage modes are quicksand and pipe bursts. If the water flow is not controlled, the seepage path in the soil may be completely opened, resulting in a sharp increase in the amount of water inrush. Compared with mountain tunnels, underwater tunnels have a larger head difference and are more prone to sudden water disasters.

[0004] In the study of the instability mechanism of soil under seepage, the existing seepage damage test equipment has a single function and does not consider the seepage damage mode of lateral seepage. Therefore, the seepage test of filling media under many different working conditions cannot be completed. Summary of the invention

[0044] Example 1

[0045] In this embodiment 1, a filling medium instability failure visualization test device is provided, comprising:

[0046] A filling box 1, used for filling a filling medium for simulating soil;

[0047] The filling box 1 is provided with a plurality of loading mechanisms for applying stress to the filling medium, and obtaining the value of the applied stress and the deformation value of the filling medium in the stress direction through a pressure gauge on a stress rod;

[0048] The filling box 1 is provided with a water injection mechanism for adding water that permeates into the filling medium into the filling box 1 .

[0049] In this embodiment, the water injection mechanism is a water pipe 8, which is arranged on the top of the filling box 1. The water pipe 8 is directly connected to the filling box. The water pipe 8 is connected to the faucet of the water source. When the faucet is turned on, water can be injected into the filling box 1.

[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the filling box 1 is a detachably arranged first bottom plate 6, and a plurality of water-permeable holes 11 are arranged on the first bottom plate 6. Part of the water that penetrates into the filling medium can flow out through the water-permeable holes 11 on the first bottom plate 6 at the bottom of the filling box, carrying part of the filling medium. Corresponding threaded holes are arranged on the first bottom plate 6 and the bottom surface of the side wall of the filling box 1, and the first bottom plate 6 is detachably connected with bolts.

[0051] In this embodiment 1, one side of the filling box 1 is made of a transparent material, and the other sides are provided with the loading mechanism. For example, the transparent material can be a glass fiber reinforced plastic material, such as Figure 1 As shown, the fiberglass material can be connected to the front plate of the filling box 1 by bolts, and the operator can observe the deformation of the filling medium in the filling box 1 with the naked eye through the fiberglass.

[0052] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the loading mechanism includes a stress rod 3, which first movably passes through the loading frame 2 and then is fixedly connected to the loading plate 4. The filling box 1 is provided with an opening 9 that matches the shape of the loading plate 4. The loading plate 4 can extend into the filling box 1 through the opening 9 to squeeze the filling medium in the filling box 1. A sealing strip 10 is provided on the side wall of the opening 9, which plays a sealing role and can prevent water in the filling medium from seeping out of the opening 9, thereby affecting the detection effect.

[0053] Specifically, a mounting hole is provided on the loading frame 2 , a slide cylinder 17 is provided in the mounting hole, and the stress rod 3 slides through the slide cylinder 17 and is connected to the loading plate 4 via a connector 18 .

[0054] The stress rod 3 is provided with a displacement sensor 7, and the displacement sensor 7 is used to measure the deformation value of the filling medium under the applied stress. The stress rod 3 is provided with a pressure gauge, and the pressure gauge is used to measure the pressure value of the filling medium.

[0055] Example 2

[0056] In this embodiment 2, a filling medium instability failure visualization test device is provided, including: a filling box 1, which is used to fill the filling medium simulating soil; the filling box 1 is provided with multiple loading mechanisms, which are used to apply stress to the filling medium, and obtain the value of the applied stress and the deformation value of the filling medium in the stress direction through the pressure gauge on the stress rod; the filling box 1 is provided with a water injection mechanism, which is used to add water that penetrates into the filling medium into the filling box 1. Figure 7 As shown, the rock-like material mold 20 simulating the fault is used to simulate fault zones of different widths and different inclinations. The rock-like material mold 20 has various inclinations and sizes, and the filling medium 19 is filled in the rock-like material mold 20 according to the inclination size, and the mechanical properties of the material are similar to those of the tunnel surrounding rock. It is used to simulate tunnel fault zones under different working conditions in real environments.

[0057] In this embodiment, the water injection mechanism is a water pipe 8, which is arranged on the top of the filling box 1. The water pipe 8 is directly connected to the filling box. The water pipe 8 is connected to the faucet of the water source. When the faucet is turned on, water can be injected into the filling box 1.

[0058] like Figure 4As shown, the bottom of the filling box 1 is a detachable and slidable second bottom plate 12, and a sliding displacement recorder 13 is installed under the filling box, which is responsible for recording the sliding width of the second bottom plate 12 of the container during each test. The top of the filling box is connected to the water pipe 8 and communicated with the water delivery device through the water delivery pipe 14. The drainage pipe 14 is set on the side plate of the loading frame 2.

[0059] Among them, the slip displacement recorder 13 includes a fixed pointer fixed to the bottom of the filling box 1 and a steel ruler matched with the fixed pointer. The reading indicated by the fixed pointer on the steel ruler is the slip displacement. A rolling pulley is installed on the two sides of the second bottom plate 12 of the filling box, and a groove matching with the rolling pulley is set at the bottom of the side plate of the filling box 1. The rolling pulley can slide on the groove similar to a drawer, so as to realize the slip of the slip displacement recorder 13. In this embodiment 2, one side of the filling box 1 is made of transparent material, and the loading mechanism is set on the other sides. For example, the transparent material can be a fiberglass material, such as Figure 1 As shown, the fiberglass material can be connected to the front plate of the filling box 1 by bolts, and the operator can observe the deformation of the filling medium in the filling box 1 with the naked eye through the fiberglass.

[0060] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the loading mechanism includes a stress rod 3, which first movably passes through the loading frame 2 and then is fixedly connected to the loading plate 4. The filling box 1 is provided with an opening 9 that matches the shape of the loading plate 4. The loading plate 4 can extend into the filling box 1 through the opening 9 to squeeze the filling medium in the filling box 1. A sealing strip 10 is provided on the side wall of the opening 9, which plays a sealing role and can prevent water in the filling medium from seeping out of the opening 9, thereby affecting the detection effect.

[0061] Specifically, a mounting hole is provided on the loading frame 2 , a slide cylinder 17 is provided in the mounting hole, and the stress rod 3 slides through the slide cylinder 17 and is connected to the loading plate 4 via a connector 18 .

[0062] The transparent glass front baffle (i.e., the visual glass front plate 16) is fixed to the filling box by screws. The glass baffle is made of thickened GFRP glass, which is light, hard, non-conductive, and has strong bending and deformation resistance, so that the test results can be more accurate.

[0063] The loading plate 4 extends into the side plate opening 9 of the filling box to directly apply pressure to the filling medium. However, since it is impossible for the metal plates to fit completely together and there are still gaps, a circle of rubber sealing strip 10 must be pasted around the stress loading plate 4 to prevent water in the medium container from seeping out of the gaps between the side metal plates.

[0064] The stress rod 3 is provided with a displacement sensor 7, and the displacement sensor 7 is used to measure the deformation value of the filling medium under the applied stress. The stress rod 3 is provided with a pressure gauge, and the pressure gauge is used to measure the pressure value of the filling medium.

[0065] In this embodiment 2, the displacement sensor 7 is an LVDT displacement sensor. The side head of the LVDT displacement sensor is fixed on the stress rod. The probe is made of high-hardness wear-resistant material silicon nitride ceramic, and the moving part of the measuring axis is made of precision guide rails, so that the displacement captured by stress loading is more sensitive.

[0066] During the test, first, place the LVDT displacement sensor on the stress rod of the stress loading device and turn it on. The LVDT displacement sensor is used to monitor the displacement change of the loading plate. Start the power device for stress loading, so that the stress loading plate slowly rests on the edge of the filling medium container, and place the filling medium required for the test in the filling medium container.

[0067] During the test, first, place the LVDT displacement sensor on the stress rod of the stress loading device and turn it on. The sensor is used to monitor the displacement change of the loading plate. Start the power device for stress loading, so that the stress loading plate slowly rests on the edge of the filling medium container, and place the filling medium required for the test in the filling medium container.

[0068] Next, install the replaceable first bottom plate at the bottom of the filling medium. After installing the first bottom plate, start the water delivery device above the filling medium to slowly fill the entire filling box with water. Adjust the water injection flow of the water delivery device to achieve appropriate seepage conditions. Record the displacement data and stress data in the stress loading device.

[0069] Next, the first bottom plate at the bottom of the filling box is replaced with the second bottom plate. By adjusting the extended length of the second bottom plate, different filling medium fault widths are simulated, and the fault filling medium damage under impermeable conditions is simulated. The loading and test process is the same as the previous step. The slip displacement recorder 13 records the extension length of the second bottom plate each time, and also records the displacement data and stress data in the stress loading device, as well as the damage of the filling medium under faults of different widths and inclinations.

[0070] Next, after obtaining the stress data and displacement data required for the test, close the water supply tap, turn off the stress loading device, remove the stress applied to the filling medium by the loading plate and the sealing strip, observe and record the final failure form of the filling medium, and record the loss of the filling medium.

[0071] During the entire test process, the penetration test begins when the water tap is opened. As the penetration test time goes by, the entire process of penetration damage of the filling medium is observed on the visual glass front plate, and the seepage damage image is recorded every 10 minutes.

[0072] Finally, after obtaining all the data required for the test, close the water tap, turn off the stress loading device, remove the stress, and observe the final failure form of the filling medium.

[0073] In summary, the filling medium instability and destruction visualization test device described in the embodiment of the present invention has a seal at the openings of the stress loading plate and the filling box, which realizes the simulation of the water flow penetration and destruction process from top to bottom; a displacement sensor is installed on the stress rod, the stress rod is connected to the stress loading plate, and the displacement sensor can indirectly monitor the displacement change during the stress loading process; the replaceable metal bottom plate device is divided into a non-retractable permeable first bottom plate with holes and a retractable impermeable second bottom plate, which respectively simulate the filling medium penetration instability and destruction under water permeability conditions and the filling medium instability and destruction under different fault conditions; the filling medium container adopts transparent fiberglass material, which realizes the visualization of the filling medium instability and destruction process.

[0074] Although the above describes the specific implementation mode of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, it is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications or variations that can be made by those skilled in the art without creative work on the basis of the technical solution disclosed in the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
