Description

A smart uniform soil mixing test device and method Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of testing technology in civil engineering and hydraulic engineering, and to a device for preparing target test soil in the laboratory of civil engineering and hydraulic engineering, particularly an intelligent uniform soil mixing test device and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] In the fields of civil engineering and water conservancy engineering, the strength, deformation and hydrophysical properties of soil and rock have always been core issues in scientific research and engineering construction.

[0003] However, to study the properties of soil and rock, it is necessary to select suitable soil samples as the research object. Due to limitations in site equipment and test conditions, in-situ tests and field tests are often difficult to carry out and require a lot of manpower, financial resources and time. Therefore, research on soil properties and soil modification often needs to be carried out in the laboratory.

[0004] Conventional indoor soil samples are obtained primarily through two methods: in-situ sampling and laboratory soil preparation. In-situ sampling preserves the natural state of the soil better, allowing for more accurate study and reflection of the target soil's properties; however, the costs of excavation, preservation, and transportation of soil samples are high. Laboratory soil preparation, based on the fundamental physical properties of natural soil, involves drying and pulverizing general soil in the laboratory, then controlling parameters such as moisture content and particle size distribution to prepare the target soil or adding modifiers for modification. Further research into the physicochemical properties of the target soil is then conducted. However, this method often suffers from cumbersome preparation processes, small sample volumes, and uneven sample distribution.

[0005] In soil modification research, whether using in-situ soil samples or prepared soil samples, the accuracy of the research results can only be ensured by ensuring the uniformity of the modifier added to the soil. However, manual mixing methods often make it difficult to ensure the uniformity of the modifier and require a lot of manpower and time.

[0006] Therefore, the urgent need to develop an economical and convenient soil mixing test device with a large mixing volume and the ability to ensure the uniformity of the target soil sample, as well as its usage method, is one of the topics of concern to the applicant. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In order to address the defects or deficiencies in the existing soil mixing test technology, the present invention aims to provide an intelligent uniform soil mixing device and its usage method.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solution:

[0009] A smart uniform soil mixing test device includes a soil mixing box, characterized in that: inside the soil mixing box, a bulldozing device, a moisture content soil mixing device, and a modifier soil mixing device are installed; outside the soil mixing box, a water pump, a modifier delivery pump, and an intelligent control system are installed; and a vibration base is installed at the bottom of the soil mixing box; wherein:

[0010] The soil mixing box is made of plexiglass, allowing observation of the internal soil conditions. The box is divided into a moisture content mixing zone, a modifier mixing zone, and a connecting zone. The moisture content mixing zone has an inlet at the top, the modifier mixing zone has an outlet at the front, and a bulldozer is located at the lower rear of the modifier mixing zone. The connecting zone is equipped with a water pump pipe and a modifier pump pipe.

[0011] The water pump delivery pipe is connected to the moisture content soil mixing equipment in the connection area of ​​the soil mixing box, and is also connected to an external water pump. The water pump delivery pipe is equipped with a first valve controlled by an intelligent control system at the interface between the water pump delivery pipe and the water pump.

[0012] The modifier pumping pipe is connected to the modifier soil mixing equipment in the connection area of ​​the soil mixing box, and is also connected to the modifier delivery pump. A second valve controlled by an intelligent control system is provided at the interface between the modifier pumping pipe and the modifier delivery pump.

[0013] The modified agent mixing equipment is shaped like a rounded rectangular tube. A mixing arm is provided at the rounded corners of the rounded rectangular tube, and evenly distributed openings are provided on the flat tube wall. A weighing tube is provided at the center of the rounded rectangular tube, which is connected to the modified agent pumping pipe. The weighing tube wall is provided with a uniform discharge port controlled by an intelligent control system. The mixing arm is provided with a folding shaft for unfolding when the mixing arm is working.

[0014] The vibrating base includes a fixed panel and a vibrating motor; the fixed panel has a groove for fixing the soil mixing box onto the vibrating base; the vibrating motor is connected to the fixed panel via a spring.

[0015] The intelligent control system is used to achieve the following functions:

[0016] Real-time display of soil quality, moisture content, and modifier addition ratio in the soil mixing box;

[0017] Control the opening and closing of the soil inlet and outlet when the soil mixing box is working;

[0018] Adjusting the height of the top panel of the bulldozer, the power of the water atomizing rod of the soil mixing equipment with moisture content, and the wing switch in the gravity sensor;

[0019] Control the opening and closing of the uniform discharge port and the unfolding and folding of the mixing wings;

[0020] Adjust the vibration frequency and duration of the vibrating base.

[0021] According to the present invention, the bulldozing panel of the bulldozing equipment is divided into an upper panel and a lower panel, and there is a rotatable adjustable angle between the upper panel and the lower panel; the upper panel is provided with a telescopic wing plate for adjusting the bulldozing height.

[0022] Specifically, the moisture content soil mixing equipment includes a high-power water atomizing rod, a rotating brush, a dust filter, and a gravity sensor; wherein:

[0023] The water atomizing rod has a central hole that connects to the water pump delivery pipe;

[0024] The rotating brush surrounds the outside of the high-power water atomizing rod;

[0025] The dust filter surrounds the outside of the rotating brush to prevent soil particles from entering;

[0026] The atomized water generated by the high-power water atomizing rod can freely pass through the rotating brush and dust filter. During operation, the rotating brush rotates to clean the soil particles attached to the surface of the dust filter.

[0027] Furthermore, the gravity sensor is shaped like a frustum, with a vertical plate on its upper side connected to a dust filter, and wings on both sides that can be opened downwards; both the gravity sensor and the wings are tilted downwards to facilitate the sliding of soil.

[0028] The method of using the above-mentioned intelligent uniform soil mixing test device is characterized by including the following steps:

[0029] 1) Start the intelligent uniform soil mixing test device and set the target moisture content, modifier addition ratio, soil mixing time and mixing times in the intelligent control system;

[0030] 2) Open the soil inlet, add finely ground soil into the moisture content mixing zone, and then close the soil inlet;

[0031] 3) The soil mixing equipment starts working, and the high-power water atomizing rod begins to release atomized water; at the same time, the vibrating base starts working, and the soil in the mixing box begins to vibrate. The soil vibration and atomized water can prevent the soil from agglomerating and ensure that the soil moisture content is uniform.

[0032] 4) The intelligent control system calculates the soil mass increment and determines the soil moisture content through the gravity sensor of the moisture content soil mixing equipment. When the moisture content reaches the set target value, the wing plate in the gravity sensor opens, the soil falls into the modifier soil mixing area, and the moisture content soil mixing equipment stops working.

[0033] 5) The modifier mixing equipment starts to rotate and work, the mixing wings unfold, and the intelligent control system calculates the required modifier mass based on the initial added soil mass and the set mixing time, and evenly divides it into several portions; when the weighing pipe reaches the divided mass, the uniform discharge port opens, the modifier enters the rounded rectangular pipe, and falls freely into the soil from the opening as the modifier mixing equipment rotates; the mixing wings ensure that the soil and modifier are fully mixed, and the vibration ensures that the modified soil is evenly distributed in the modifier mixing area;

[0034] 6) When the set soil mixing time is reached, the modifier soil mixing equipment stops working, the mixing wings are folded, the vibrating base stops working, and the soil mixing is completed;

[0035] 7) Set the appropriate panel angle and height of the bulldozer through the intelligent control system, open the soil outlet, start the bulldozer, and push the prepared soil into the soil sample container.

[0036] The intelligent uniform soil mixing test device of the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects compared with the prior art:

[0037] 1. By designing a soil mixing box, bulldozing equipment, moisture content soil mixing equipment, water pump, modifier soil mixing equipment, modifier delivery pump, vibrating base, and intelligent control system, this device improves upon the current manual soil mixing methods used in indoor experiments. This increases the quality of the mixed soil, saves mixing time, and further enhances work and testing efficiency. Furthermore, this intelligent soil mixing test device uses the atomizing rod and vibrating base of the moisture content soil mixing equipment to prepare the moisture content, ensuring sufficient and uniform contact between water and soil, preventing soil particles from agglomerating and maintaining a uniform moisture content. The modifier soil mixing equipment enables batch addition and automatic mixing of the modifier, and the synergistic action of the mixing wings and vibrating base ensures more uniform mixing of the soil sample and modifier, guaranteeing the final soil mixing effect.

[0038] 2. During the soil preparation process, the soil preparation box is kept in a closed state, which effectively prevents soil particles from flying out and dust from being generated, thus improving the laboratory environment and ensuring the health of the test personnel.

[0039] 3. The entire process of preparing soil samples by placing them in the soil mixing box can be remotely controlled by an intelligent system, which greatly saves manual time.

[0040] 4. The soil mixing box, moisture content soil mixing equipment and moisture content soil mixing equipment can be reasonably combined according to actual test requirements. The volume of the entire intelligent uniform soil mixing test device can be designed according to actual needs to maximize space utilization.

[0041] 5. The soil inlet can be connected to other soil crushing equipment to further enhance the applicability and scalability of the entire intelligent uniform soil mixing test device. Attached Figure Description

[0076] The following are specific examples of the inventors using the intelligent uniform soil mixing test device provided in this embodiment to prepare different soil samples.

[0077] Example 1:

[0078] To prepare target soil with a moisture content of 12% using 100 kg of dry soil, the following steps are included:

[0079] 1) Start the intelligent uniform soil mixing test device, and set the soil mass to "100kg", the moisture content to "12%", the soil mixing time to "2 hours", the modifier addition ratio to "0%", and the mixing times to "0" in the intelligent control system 8.

[0080] 2) Open the soil inlet 1-4, pour 100kg of crushed dry soil into the soil mixing box 1 through the soil inlet 1-4, close the soil inlet 1-4, select to start soil mixing through the intelligent control system 8, and manually turn on the water pump 4.

A large amount of atomized water is generated in the moisture content soil mixing zone 1-1 in the soil mixing box 1, the rotating brush 3-2 starts to rotate, and the soil particles on the surface of the dust filter screen 3-3 fall off.

[0082] 4) When the vibrating base 7 is started, the soil vibrates with the soil mixing box 1, and the soil particles fully and evenly absorb the atomized water, and the soil mass continuously increases.

[0083] 5) Gravity sensor 3-4 is activated, and intelligent control system 8 monitors and displays the changes in soil mass obtained by gravity sensor 3-4 in real time;

[0084] 6) After 1.2 hours, the intelligent control system 8 displays that the gravity sensor 3-4 measured the soil mass to be 112 kg. The system automatically controls the wing plate 3-6 of the gravity sensor 3-4 to open downwards, and the soil falls into the modifier soil preparation area 1-1.

[0085] 7) The wing plate 3-6 of gravity sensor 3-4 is closed. If the mass detected by gravity sensor 3-4 is greater than 0.05 kg, the wing plate 3-6 of gravity sensor 3-4 will be opened again.

[0095] 4) When the vibrating base 7 is activated, the soil vibrates along with the soil mixing box 1;

[0096] 5) The modifier mixing equipment 5 is started, the second valve 8-2 of the modifier pumping pipe 1-7 is opened, the mixing wing arm 5-1 is deployed, and the modifier is delivered by the modifier delivery pump 6 through the modifier pumping pipe 1-7 into the weighing pipe 5-3.

[0097] 6) Based on the set soil mixing time of "2 hours", modifier addition ratio of "1%", and mixing times of "10", when the modifier mass in weighing pipe 5-3 is 0.05kg, the intelligent control system 8 controls the second valve 8-2 of modifier pumping pipe 1-7 to close and the uniform discharge port 5-4 of weighing pipe 5-3 to open.

[0098] 7) The modifier rotates with the modifier mixing equipment 5 and falls into the soil through the opening at the flat pipe wall. The soil in the modifier mixing zone 1-1 is evenly distributed with the vibration of the mixing box 1 and is repeatedly mixed under the drive of the mixing wing arm 5-1 for 12 minutes.

[0099] 8) Repeat steps 6 and 7 a total of 10 times. The intelligent control system 8 controls the modifier mixing equipment 5 to shut down, the mixing wing arm 5-1 to fold, the second valve 8-2 of the modifier pumping pipe 1-7 to shut down, and the modifier delivery pump 6 to be manually shut down.

[0101] 10) After the bulldozer 2 pushes out all the soil in the modifier mixing area 1-1, it automatically retracts. The intelligent control system 8 then commands the soil outlet 1-5 to close. The mixing of 50 kg of natural soil with a modifier content of 1% is completed in about 2 hours.

[0102] Example 3:

[0103] To prepare target soil with a moisture content of 15% and a modifier dosage of 1% using 100 kg of dry soil, the following steps are included:

[0106] 3) The moisture content soil mixing equipment 3 is started, the first valve 8-1 of the water pump delivery pipe 1-6 is opened, and water is pumped by the water pump 4 through the water pump delivery pipe 1-6 into the high-power water atomizing rod 3-1. A large amount of atomized water is generated in the moisture content soil mixing zone 1-1 of the soil mixing box 1, the rotating brush 3-2 starts to rotate, and the soil particles on the surface of the dust filter screen 3-3 fall off.

[0108] 5) Gravity sensor 3-4 is activated, and intelligent control system 8 monitors and displays the changes in soil mass obtained by gravity sensor 3-4 in real time;

[0109] 6) After 1.5 hours, the intelligent control system 8 displays that the gravity sensor 3-4 has measured the soil mass to be 115 kg. The system automatically controls the wing plate 3-6 of the gravity sensor 3-4 to open downwards, and the soil falls into the modifier soil mixing area 1-1.

[0110] 7) The wing plate 3-6 of gravity sensor 3-4 is closed. If the mass detected by gravity sensor 3-4 is greater than 0.05 kg, the wing plate 3-6 of gravity sensor 3-4 will be opened again.
