Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of ice and rock avalanche initiation centrifugal experiment equipment, and in particular relates to a freeze-thaw cycle temperature control model box used for ice and rock avalanche initiation centrifugal experiment. Background Art

[0002] The widespread distribution of glacier-covered rock masses on my country's Qinghai-Tibet Plateau leads to complex engineering geological conditions. Furthermore, glacial rock and soil masses distributed on high-altitude slopes are highly susceptible to fracture and disintegration under the action of gravity, leading to disasters. Therefore, accurately understanding the initiation mechanism of glacial rock and soil masses under the influence of freeze-thaw cycles in high-altitude environments can facilitate effective disaster prevention and mitigation measures, making systematic research essential.

[0003] Centrifuge model experiments, as a technical means, play an irreplaceable role in clarifying disaster mechanisms. Based on the experimental objectives, designing and manufacturing a temperature-controlled device with freeze-thaw cycle capabilities that can meet the requirements of centrifuge experiments on ice and rock avalanche initiation is of great scientific significance.

[0004] Currently, most of the existing centrifuge experimental devices for rock and soil freeze-thaw cycle experiments are for loose soil. However, for the freeze-thaw cycle centrifuge experiments on rock, it is necessary to consider the bearing capacity of the bottom of the model box, making the existing centrifuge experimental devices unsuitable for ice and rock avalanche initiation centrifuge experiments. At the same time, the existing centrifuge experimental devices rarely take into account the problem of fogging of the transparent observation window during the centrifugation process in a low-temperature environment. This is extremely unfavorable for external industrial cameras to monitor the model inside the box, and it is difficult to obtain high-quality images for later result analysis and processing. In addition, based on different experimental schemes, the preset temperature range is also different. Therefore, it is necessary to control the temperature of the cooling / heating range in the model box to meet the experimental purpose. Under actual working conditions, the temperature of different parts of the model slope in the box may be different. If this condition is achieved during the centrifuge experiment, it may be more consistent with the prototype, which will help to obtain more accurate experimental results. Summary of the Invention

So as to cool / heat the space inside the box through the cooling / heating pipe 11, wherein the inner wall surface includes the left inner wall surface, the right inner wall surface and the rear inner wall surface; the main viewing side wall of the square box body 1 is a transparent observation window 12, and a thin-walled tube 13 in the shape of an inverted "J" from the main viewing angle is attached to the boundary of the left outer wall surface, the outer bottom surface and the right outer wall surface of the square box body 1 and the transparent observation window 12, wherein one end of the thin-walled tube 13 is used for air intake and the other end is used for air outlet, and a number of spaced air vents 130 are provided on the tube body.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in the specific structure of the freeze-thaw cycle temperature control model box, the square box body 1 and the box cover 2 are used to provide a closed space for the model slope 100 (which can be directly cast in the box or placed in the box after being manufactured outside the box) when the cover is closed, and the square box body 1 and the box cover 2 can be closed and sealed by conventional methods, for example, by means of a bolt structure and a sealing strip, wherein the sealing strip is preferably a heat-insulating magnetic sealing strip to ensure a heat-insulating sealing effect. The temperature control unit 3 can refer to the refrigeration principle of a refrigerator, and specifically utilize the refrigerant (such as R410A refrigerant) circulating in the cooling / heating pipe 11 to cool / heat the space inside the box, thereby achieving the purpose of freeze-thaw cycle. Specifically, the temperature control unit 3 includes but is not limited to a pressure switch 31, a solenoid valve 32, a micro compressor 33, a radiator 34, a controller 35, a vacuum pump 36, a starter 37 and a liquid reservoir 38, wherein the solenoid valve 32, the micro compressor 33, the radiator 34, the vacuum pump 36, the starter 37 and the liquid reservoir 38 are all conventional configurations of the temperature control system and are used for daily maintenance; the pressure switch 31 and the controller 35 are used to start the cooling / heating function as needed during the experiment; at the same time, in order to enhance the heat conduction efficiency, each pair of two communicating components of the temperature control unit is preferably connected by a thin-walled copper tube (i.e., a thin-walled tube made of copper material). For example, the solenoid valve 32 and the micro compressor 33 that need to be connected can be connected by a thin-walled copper tube. In addition, the temperature control unit 3 uses the box cover 2 as a carrier, and its components are preferably evenly arranged and welded to the inside of the box cover 2.

[0042] The cooling / heating pipe 11 is used to cool the space inside the box (the temperature of the refrigerant in the tube needs to be lower than the temperature of the environment outside the tube, and the temperature of the refrigerant in the tube is controlled by the temperature control unit 3 through the micro compressor 33 and other components) / heat (the temperature of the refrigerant in the tube needs to be higher than the temperature of the environment outside the tube) through the heat exchange principle between the refrigerant in the tube and the environment outside the tube; in order to improve the heat conduction efficiency, the cooling / heating pipe 11 preferably uses a thin-walled copper tube. The transparent observation window 12 is used to facilitate the camera outside the box to monitor and observe the model slope 100 in the box throughout the experiment; in order to achieve high strength, the transparent observation window 12 is preferably made of organic glass made of polymethyl methacrylate; further, in order to take safety into consideration, it can be thickened, that is, the thickness of the organic glass is set to about 30 mm.

In order to maximize the air circulation effect, the opening direction of the vent holes 130 is preferably parallel to the outer surface of the transparent observation window 12 or inclined toward the outer surface of the transparent observation window 12. At the same time, the thin-walled tube 13 can specifically be a thin-walled copper tube, and the aperture of the vent holes 130 can be specifically designed to be 1 mm.

Figures 2-3As shown, the lighting unit 4 is used to provide lighting for experimental observation, so as to solve the problem of insufficient brightness inside the box affecting observation, and to improve the shooting frame rate and image quality of the camera outside the box. Since the lighting unit 4 adopts an LED (Light-Emitting Diode) lamp with Bluetooth and / or WiFi wireless control function, for example, an existing LED light source product produced by Philips (i.e., Philips) is used, the brightness and / or color temperature of the light source can be adjusted contactlessly through wireless control, thereby avoiding human disturbance to the model inside the box to the greatest extent. In addition, in order to ensure the heat insulation and sealing effect, preferably, the first through hole 21 is a threaded hole, and the power supply cable 41 is wrapped by a galvanized metal movable screw 210 that is threadedly matched with the threaded hole, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown, when the galvanized metal movable screw 210 is inserted into the threaded hole, not only can the power supply cable 41 be sealed through the first through hole 21 , but the power supply cable 41 can also be locked and fixed.

[0044] Preferably, a platinum resistance temperature sensor 5 is further included, wherein the platinum resistance temperature sensor 5 is arranged on the left inner wall surface, the right inner wall surface or the rear inner wall surface of the square box body 1; a second through hole 22 is opened on the box cover 2, and the communication cable 51 of the platinum resistance temperature sensor 5 is connected to the data collection system outside the box after passing through the second through hole 22.

By designing the ribbed steel bars 14, the compressive strength of the entire box can be increased to meet the requirements of the hypergravity experiment. Cold rolled steel bars.

[0046] Preferably, the bottom of the square box 1 is made of a stainless steel shell filled with C60 thermal insulation concrete 15.

In addition, the removable windows 24 can be made removable by means of threaded blind holes, screws, iron sheets, etc.

[0048] Preferably, the box cover 2 is made of a stainless steel shell filled with high-density polystyrene foam 25. Figure 1 As shown, the box cover 2 can be made of heat-insulating steel to reduce heat conduction with the outside of the box.

[0049] Preferably, the upper area of the inner wall is paved with a first circulation pipeline 111 based on the cooling / heating pipeline 11, and the lower area of the inner wall and the inner bottom are paved with a second circulation pipeline 112 based on the cooling / heating pipeline 11, wherein the first circulation pipeline 111 is used to independently cool / heat the upper space in the box under the control of the temperature control unit 3, and the second circulation pipeline 112 is used to independently cool / heat the lower space in the box under the control of the temperature control unit 3. Figures 2 to 5 As shown, when only the first circulation line 111 is activated, cooling / heating is limited to the upper portion of the model slope 100. When only the second circulation line 112 is activated, cooling / heating is limited to the lower portion of the model slope 100. This allows for temperature differences between different portions of the model slope 100, creating a temperature gradient within the chamber, which is more consistent with the prototype and facilitates more accurate experimental results. Furthermore, when both the first and second circulation lines 111, 112 are activated simultaneously, the temperature within the chamber can be kept essentially constant.
