[0002] During the construction process, in order to ensure the stability of the engineering building, various data analyses of the soil layer are required, such as the load - bearing capacity of the soil layer. In the operation of the foundation deep pit, before digging the foundation, it is necessary to measure the hardness of the soil layer to avoid the side deformation of the soil layer during the deep - pit excavation operation due to the soil layer hardness not meeting the construction standards. This will not guarantee the subsequent construction quality, and the previous construction work will be almost in vain, consuming time and effort. Therefore, it is necessary to survey the hardness of the soil layer in advance. However, the research and development of relevant equipment for surveying the hardness of the deep - pit soil layer have not been popularized, and there is a large difference between the measured hardness of the excavated soil and the hardness of the soil layer during actual construction, so the reference value is not great.

Detailed implementation manners

[0019] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0020] Such as Figures 1 - 4As shown in the figure, a deep pit soil layer hardness survey mechanism includes a housing 1. At the bottom of the housing 1, there are two symmetrically distributed mounting plates 6. On the side of the mounting plate 6 away from the housing 1, there is a pressure cone 7. Inside the housing 1, there is a movable cavity 16. A movable plate 14 is horizontally slidably arranged in the movable cavity 16. A limit bolt 35 is arranged between the movable plate 14 and the mounting plate 6. One end of the limit bolt 35 passes through the mounting plate 6 and is threadedly connected to the movable plate 14. A first spring 23 is arranged outside the limit bolt 35. The two ends of the first spring 23 respectively abut against the sides of the mounting plate 6 and the movable plate 14. A power member 15 is arranged between the two movable plates 14 of the housing 1. A limiting member 19 for positioning the compression length of the first spring 23 is arranged on the side of the movable plate 14 close to the mounting plate 6. A support plate 5 is arranged outside the housing 1. And there is a mounting cavity 11 inside the housing 1. A fixing plate 10 is vertically slidably arranged in the mounting cavity 11. The support plate 5 and the fixing plate 10 are connected by bolts. An adjusting device for pre-fixing the relative positions of the support plate 5 and the fixing plate 10 is arranged on the housing 1.

[0021] The power member 15 includes a driving bevel gear 20, a transmission rod 13, a driven bevel gear 21 and a screw rod 24. The screw rod 24 is horizontally rotatably installed on the housing 1. The driven bevel gear 21 is fixed at the end of the screw rod 24. The transmission rod 13 is vertically rotatably installed on the housing 1. The driving bevel gear 20 is fixed at one end of the transmission rod 13. And the driving bevel gear 20 meshes and drives with the two driven bevel gears 21. When the transmission rod 13 rotates, it can drive the driving bevel gear 20 to rotate, so that the driven bevel gears 21 rotate synchronously. And the screw rod 24 can drive the movable plate 14 to horizontally slide in the movable cavity 16. When the pressure cone 7 does not touch the soil layer on the side wall of the deep pit, it and the mounting plate 6 move synchronously with the movable plate 14. And when the pressure cone 7 touches the soil layer, the pressure cone 7 can slowly insert into the soil layer. At the same time, the pressure cone 7 receives a reaction force and makes the first spring 23 start to compress. When the first spring 23 cannot be compressed, only need to measure the depth of the pressure cone 7 inserted into the soil layer and compare it with the insertion depth of the pressure cone 7 under the standard construction hardness, then it can be known whether the hardness of the soil layer at a certain specified height of the deep pit meets the construction requirements. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0022] A first cover plate 4 and a second cover plate 8 are respectively arranged at the upper and lower ends of the housing 1. A first adjusting bolt 3 is arranged at one end of the transmission rod 13 close to the first cover plate 4. The first adjusting bolt 3 is threadedly connected to the first cover plate 4. And a first limiting portion 9 inserted into the transmission rod 13 is arranged on the first adjusting bolt 3. The first cover plate 4 and the second cover plate 8 can shield the pressure member 18 and the power member 15 to prevent the soil in the deep pit from affecting their work. When the first adjusting bolt 3 is rotated, the transmission rod 13 starts to rotate under the drive of the first limiting portion 9. The first adjusting bolt 3 is threadedly connected to the first cover plate 4, so that the meshing state of the driving bevel gear 20 and the driven bevel gear 21 can be fixed at any time, thus facilitating the operation of the operator.

[0023] The limiting member 19 is a cylindrical structure integrally formed with the movable plate 14. A pressure sensor 22 is provided on one side of the limiting member 19 close to the mounting plate 6. A power supply and an indicator light 2 are respectively provided on the housing 1 and the first cover plate 4. The power supply is electrically connected to the indicator light 2 and the pressure sensor 22. The pressure sensor 22 and the indicator light 2 on the two mounting plates 6 are connected in parallel. When one of the mounting plates 6 touches the pressure sensor 22 on the same side, the indicator light 2 lights up to inform the operator that the pre-compression length of the first spring 23 has reached the position and the hardness measurement is completed.

[0024] The adjusting device includes a pressure member 18 and a reset member 17 located on both sides of the fixed plate 10. The pressure member 18 includes a first rotating shaft 31, a second rotating shaft 33, a second adjusting bolt 28, a driving gear 32, a driven gear 34 and a cam 27. The second adjusting bolt 28 is threadedly connected to the housing 1, and a second limiting portion 30 is provided on the second adjusting bolt 28. One end of the first rotating shaft 31 is rotatably connected to the housing 1, and the other end is inserted into the second limiting portion 30. Both ends of the second rotating shaft 33 are rotatably connected to the housing 1. Two cams 27 are provided and are respectively fixedly installed on the first rotating shaft 31 and the second rotating shaft 33. The driving gear 32 and the driven gear 34 are fixedly installed on the first rotating shaft 31 and the second rotating shaft 33. When the second adjusting bolt 28 is rotated, the first rotating shaft 31 rotates driven by the second limiting portion 30, and the second rotating shaft 33 rotates driven by the meshing of the driving gear 32 and the driven gear 34. When the first rotating shaft 31 and the second rotating shaft 33 rotate, their rotation directions are opposite, so that the two cams 27 simultaneously apply the same acting force to the fixed plate 10 to make the distances that the two ends of the fixed plate 10 descend equal.

[0025] The reset member 17 includes two second springs 26 located on the side of the fixed plate 10 away from the pressure member 18. Convex columns 12 for positioning the second springs 26 are provided on the fixed plate 10 and the housing 1. The second springs 26 apply an upward acting force to the fixed plate 10, so that one side of the fixed plate 10 always abuts against the edge of the cam 27, and the convex columns 12 can play a role in positioning the second springs 26 to prevent them from shifting under force. A lug 25 connected to the fixed plate 10 is provided on the support plate 5, and a sliding groove for the lug 25 to slide is provided on the housing 1. An extension portion 29 for blocking the sliding groove is provided on the lug 25. When the lug 25 slides in the sliding groove, the extension portion 29 is located outside the housing 1, and it can block the part of the sliding groove below the lug 25 to prevent sundries from entering the inner side of the housing 1.

[0026] Working principle: During the survey, first use a small rammed earth device to dig a deep pit slightly larger than the size of the housing 1 (for example, 5 - 10 cm larger) in the soil layer at the construction location. Subsequently, by rotating the second adjusting bolt 28, the distance between the support plate 5 and the pressure cone 7 is adjusted so that the pressure cone 7 can face the soil layer at a certain height of the deep pit to be measured. Then, apply a marking powder, such as white lime powder, on the pressure cone 7. Next, insert the housing 1 into the deep pit, and then rotate the first adjusting bolt 3. The driving rod 13 and the driving bevel gear 20 drive the driven bevel gear 21 and the screw rod 24 to rotate, causing the pressure cone 7 and the movable plate 14 to move horizontally synchronously until the indicator light 2 lights up. Then, rotate the first adjusting bolt 3 in the reverse direction and take out the housing 1 from the deep pit. At this time, measure the residual length L1 of the marking powder on the pressure cone 7, and take the average value of the measurement data of the two pressure cones 7. Using the same method as above, measure the residual length L2 of the marking powder on the pressure cone 7 in the standard soil layer hardness. If L1 is greater than or equal to L2, it indicates that the insertion depth of the pressure cone 7 is relatively shallow, and the hardness of the soil layer to be constructed is greater than the standard soil layer hardness, meeting the construction requirements. If L1 is less than L2, it means that the insertion depth of the pressure cone 7 is relatively deep, and the hardness of the soil layer to be constructed is less than the standard soil layer hardness, not meeting the construction requirements. The overall operation is simple, and the hardness survey is fast and efficient. At the same time, after one end of the limit bolt 35 passes through the movable plate 14, the pre-compression length of the first spring 23 can be adjusted, thereby changing the acting force of the first spring 23 on the pressure cone 7 and making the hardness measurement range larger.
