Description

[0002] The vane shear test is a test for determining the undrained shear strength and sensitivity of saturated soft clay by using a vane, and belongs to a kind of in-situ test for soil. The vane probe is pressed into the soft soil at the bottom of a hole, and is rotated at a uniform speed. The torque required for rotation is measured by a certain measurement system until the soil is destroyed, so as to calculate the shear strength of the soil. The shear strength measured by the vane shear test represents the natural strength (undrained shear strength) of the soil in the hole.

A positioning screw 7052 is provided on the positioning block 7051, which passes through the positioning block 7051 and is screwed to the positioning block 7051.

[0057] The groove 704 described in this embodiment is provided with at least three grooves, and preferably three grooves 704 are provided in this embodiment.

[0058] A fixing plate 900 is provided above the connecting plate 700. At least three second through holes 901 are provided on the fixing plate 900. The guide flange 707 is provided in the second through hole 901. The top of the connecting column 706 extends into the second through hole 901 and connects with the guide flange 707. The top of the guide flange 707 located in the second through hole 901 and the bottom of the guide flange 707 located in the third through hole 106 are covered with flange cover plates 7071 to close the guide flange 707.

[0059] A lifting mechanism 800 is provided between the fixed plate 900 and the connecting plate 700. The lifting mechanism 800 includes a lifting plate 801, which is located between the fixed plate 900 and the connecting plate 700. At least three lifting rods 803 are provided at the bottom end of the lifting plate 801. The bottom ends of the lifting rods 803 pass through the connecting plate 700 and are connected to the connecting plate 700.

[0060] A force sensor 804 is provided on the lifting plate 801. The force sensor 804 is used to detect the force exerted by the connecting plate 700 on the cross plate probe 600.

[0061] A connection hole is provided on the force sensor 804, and a lifting motor 802 is provided on the fixed plate 900. A worm gear and a worm are connected to the lifting motor 802. The bottom end of the worm gear passes through the fixed plate 900 and extends below the fixed plate 900, and the bottom end of the worm gear is screwed into the connection hole.

[0062] The torque loading mechanism 200 described in this embodiment is a torque loader (digital torque loading device). The top end of the torque loading mechanism 200 is connected and fixed to the bottom end of the top plate 109 of the mounting base 100 by means of screws, bolts or threaded rods, so that the connecting section 201 at the top end of the torque loading mechanism 200 extends into the first mounting hole 102 and is connected to the first positioning flange 104.

[0063] The mounting base 100 described in this embodiment has an opening 107 that connects to the mounting groove 103. The opening 107 can be used to disassemble or inspect and repair the torque loading mechanism 200 located in the mounting groove 103. An openable and closable observation window (not shown) can be provided at the location of the opening 107 to close the opening 107.

[0064] In this embodiment, the axes of the first positioning flange 104, the first coupling 300, the torque loading mechanism 200, the standard torque sensor 400, the second coupling 500, the fixing member 501, the cross plate probe 600, the second positioning flange 703, and the probe adapter flange 601 are aligned. To achieve this alignment, during installation, the first positioning flange 104 is first installed in the first mounting hole 102, and the second positioning flange 703 is installed in the second mounting hole 701. A coaxiality bar 108 is provided between the first positioning flange 104 and the second positioning flange 703. One end of the coaxiality bar 108 is connected to the first positioning flange 104, and the other end is connected to the first positioning flange 104. The second positioning flange 703 is connected, and then the positioning block 7051 is installed on the connecting plate 700. After the positioning screw 7052 on the positioning block 7051 presses the second positioning flange 703, the coaxiality bar 108 is removed to ensure that the first positioning flange 104 and the second positioning flange 703 do not shift radially before and after the torque is applied. At the same time, the second positioning flange 703 and the probe adapter flange 601 are fixed by a shaft hole transition fit to ensure that the axes of the second positioning flange 703 and the probe adapter flange 601 are coincident, so that the axes of the first positioning flange 104, the second positioning flange 703 and the probe adapter flange 601 are coincident.

[0065] The connecting plate 700, fixing plate 900 and lifting plate 801 described in this embodiment are triangular, and the connecting columns 706 are triangularly distributed, which improves the structural stability of the probe calibration device, overcomes the offset of the structural force axis when the ultimate load occurs to the greatest extent, and reduces the influence of the structure's own weight on the torque value transmission of the cross plate probe 600 and the standard torque sensor 400.

[0066] In this embodiment, the crossbeam calibration device first requires the lifting mechanism 800 to cancel the force exerted by the connecting plate 700 on the crossbeam probe 600 to avoid affecting the accuracy of the reading of the crossbeam probe 600. The lifting motor 802 drives the worm gear to pull the force sensor 804 up within the stroke range of the worm gear until the force sensor 804 detects that the force exerted by the connecting plate 700 on the crossbeam probe 600 is zero, at which point it is determined that the force exerted by the connecting plate 700 on the crossbeam probe 600 has been canceled.

[0067] Then, the torque loading mechanism 200 operates to simultaneously transmit torque to the standard torque sensor 400 and the crossbeam probe 600, thereby obtaining a standard torque value and a torque value to be calibrated, thus calibrating the value of the crossbeam probe 600. Furthermore, the vertical structure provided in this embodiment ensures that the gravity directions of the crossbeam probe 600, the torque loading mechanism 200, and the standard torque sensor 400 coincide with the loading force axis. Moreover, the force acting on the connecting plate 700 at the top of the crossbeam probe 600 is canceled out by the lifting mechanism 800, preventing external structural gravity from acting on the crossbeam probe 600 and causing deviations in the value of the crossbeam probe 600, which would affect the accuracy of the value of the crossbeam probe 600 and the calibration efficiency.

[0068] In this embodiment, the cross-shaped probe 600, the force sensor 804, and the standard torque sensor 400 are all connected to an external display instrument to display the detected values.

[0069] This embodiment also provides a probe calibration method:

[0070] First, a first positioning flange 104 is installed in the first mounting hole 102 opened on the top plate 109 of the mounting base 100, and a second positioning flange 703 is installed in the second mounting hole 701 opened on the connecting plate 700. A coaxiality bar 108, which is connected to the first positioning flange 104 and the second positioning flange 703 respectively, is installed between the connecting plate 700 and the mounting base 100.

[0071] Then, a positioning block 7051 is installed in the groove 704 of the connecting plate 700. After the positioning block 7051 and the positioning screw 7052 press against the outer wall of the second positioning flange 703, the coaxiality bar 108 is removed to ensure that the axes of the first positioning flange 104 and the second positioning flange 703 coincide (coaxial).

[0072] Then, a torque loading mechanism 200 is installed on the mounting base 100. The connecting section 201 at the top of the torque loading mechanism 200 is installed into the first positioning flange 104. A first coupling 300 is installed on the connecting section 201 at the top of the torque loading mechanism 200. A standard torque sensor 400 is installed at the top of the first coupling 300. A second coupling 500 is installed at the top of the standard torque sensor. A cross plate probe 600 is installed at the top of the second coupling 500. A probe adapter flange 601 is installed at the top of the cross plate probe 600. The probe adapter flange 601 is installed into the second positioning flange 703 through a shaft hole transition fit to ensure that the axes of the probe adapter flange 601 and the second positioning flange 703 coincide (coaxial).

[0073] The vertical torque loading structure avoids the direct action of the self-weight of the series components in the standard area on the standard torque sensor 400 and the cross plate probe 600, which would cause the value transmitted to the cross plate probe 600 to deviate and affect the accuracy of the value traceability of the cross plate probe 600.

[0074] By using a positioning mechanism 705, the first positioning flange 104 and the second positioning flange 703 are coaxially fixed by a coaxiality bar 108, so that the axes of the first positioning flange 104 and the second positioning flange 703 coincide. The probe adapter flange 601 and the second positioning flange 703 are transitionally fitted through shaft holes, so that the axes of the probe adapter flange 601 and the second positioning flange 703 coincide, thereby making the axes of the probe adapter flange 601, the first positioning flange 104 and the second positioning flange 703 coincide.

[0075] Then, the lifting motor 802 of the lifting mechanism 800 operates to drive the worm gear to lift the lifting plate 801 within the stroke range of the worm gear, so that the connecting plate 700, driven by the lifting rod 803, follows the lifting plate 801 and is lifted along the axial direction of the connecting column 706 under the guidance of the connecting column 706.

[0076] Furthermore, when the force sensor 804 on the lifting plate 801 detects that the force applied to the lifting plate 801 and the force exerted on the cross plate probe 600 by the weight of the connecting plate 700 and its various components are offset by the force of the lifting mechanism 800 (i.e., when the force sensor 804 detects that the force exerted on the cross plate probe 600 by the weight of the connecting plate 700 and its various components is zero), the operation of the lifting motor 802 is stopped, and the position of the connecting plate 700 on the connecting column 706 is fixed.

[0077] Subsequently, the torque loading mechanism 200 is activated, and the torque is transmitted to the standard torque sensor 400 through the first coupling 300, and then to the cross plate probe 600 through the second coupling 500.

[0078] Finally, the torque values ​​of the standard torque sensor 400 and the cross probe 600 are obtained through an external display. The cross probe 600 is calibrated by comparing the two torque values.

[0079] The probe calibration device and calibration method provided in this embodiment are configured by setting a torque loading mechanism 200 on the mounting surface 101 of the mounting base 100, forming a standard area between the mounting surface 101 and the connecting plate 700. The standard area is used to set a standard torque sensor 400 that is drivenly connected to the top end of the torque loading mechanism 200. The top end of the standard torque sensor 400 is drivenly connected to a cross-plate probe 600 located in the calibration area. The top end of the cross-plate probe 600 is connected to the connecting plate 700.

[0080] In this embodiment, the crossbeam probe 600 is vertically mounted. During use, the torque loading mechanism 200 generates torque, which is transmitted to the standard torque sensor 400 in the standard area and the crossbeam probe 600 in the calibration area. Simultaneously, the standard torque value of the standard torque sensor 400 and the torque value to be calibrated of the crossbeam probe 600 are obtained. The crossbeam probe 600 is calibrated by comparing the torque value to be calibrated with the standard torque value. Compared with the traditional lever and weight calibration structure, the torque loading mechanism 200 located at the bottom directly transmits torque to the standard torque sensor 400 and the crossbeam probe 600 located above the torque loading mechanism 200. The lifting mechanism 800 pulls the connecting plate 700 to counteract the upper gravity acting on the crossbeam probe 600, thereby achieving the calibration of the crossbeam probe 600. On the one hand, it greatly saves manpower and time costs compared to manually adding or subtracting weights; on the other hand, it avoids the situation where the weight of the series components and torque loading mechanism 200 in the standard area directly acts on the cross plate probe 600, causing deviations in the values ​​transmitted to the cross plate probe 600 and affecting the accuracy and efficiency of the cross plate probe 600's indication calibration.

[0081] The above embodiments are not an exhaustive list based on the present invention, and there may be many other embodiments not listed. Any substitutions and improvements made without departing from the concept of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
