DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0034] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further explained below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.
[0035] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the survey device for geotechnical engineering geophysical prospecting described in the present invention includes an electrode power supply, a signal acquisition device, a signal acquisition circuit, an MCU and a host computer;
[0036] The electrode power supply is used to power the electrode 3; the electrode power supply includes a lithium battery, a digital boost module and an inverter module; the measurement of rock resistivity and ground resistance requires the use of an external power supply to power the rock to be measured, and the digital boost module is used to achieve a wide range of adjustable voltage, which is then converted into a symmetrical square wave through the inverter module to power the electrode 3;
[0037] The signal acquisition device is used to lay out the electrodes 3 and apply a measuring current to the rock and soil. The number of the signal acquisition devices is one group, preferably four;
[0038] The signal acquisition circuit is used to realize the measurement of current, voltage and phase difference; the signal acquisition circuit includes a current acquisition circuit, a voltage acquisition circuit, an AD acquisition module and a comparator module; the analog signal is acquired through the voltage and current acquisition circuits, and then the AD acquisition module is used to convert the analog signal into a digital signal, the comparator module converts the analog signal into a square wave signal, and then the MCU external interrupt and timer are used to realize the phase difference measurement.

After the data measurement is completed, the data can be copied out using a USB flash drive or transmitted to a private cloud through the 4G module.
[0041] It also includes a 5V voltage regulator module; the 5V voltage regulator module serves as a power management device, which adjusts the internal resistance and stably converts the voltage of the lithium battery into a 5V output voltage.
[0042] The present invention designs a symmetrical square wave power supply with variable voltage and frequency as an electrode power supply, uses a four-electrode 3 method to measure resistivity, and uses a frequency conversion method to achieve ground resistance measurement, thereby improving the measurement accuracy of electrical parameters and reducing the distortion degree of electrical exploration. At the same time, by setting a 5V voltage stabilizing module, the stability of the entire system during operation is guaranteed and the occurrence of overload is reduced.
[0043] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the signal acquisition device includes a connecting seat 1 and a cable 2; an electrode 3 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the connecting seat 1; a conductor 4 is arranged inside the connecting seat 1, and the conductor 4 is electrically connected to the electrode 3; a slide groove 5 is opened inside the connecting seat 1 at both sides of the conductor 4; a socket 6 is opened between the slide groove 5 and the outer side of the connecting seat 1; a conductive block 7 is slidably connected inside the slide groove 5; a conductive spring 8 is fixedly connected between the conductive block 7 and the conductor 4; a connector 9 is fixedly connected to the end of the cable 2; a conductive head 10 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connector 9, and the conductive head 10 is threadedly connected to the socket 6. When connecting the electrodes 3, align the conductive head 10 at the end of the cable 2 with the socket 6, screw it into the socket 6 through the connector 9, and make the conductive head 10 contact with the conductive block 7, so that the adjacent electrodes 3 are electrically connected through the conductor 4, the conductive spring 8, the conductive block 7, the conductive head 10 and the cable 2, which is convenient and quick, improves the series connection efficiency between the electrodes 3, and reduces the workload of circuit connection.
[0044] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a protective plate 11 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connection seat 1, and the protective plate 11 is designed to be an arched structure. By providing the protective plate 11, the electrode 3 is protected by its arched structure, the protective strength is improved, and the electrode 3 is prevented from being damaged by workers due to accidental stepping, and both sides of the arched protective plate 11 have openings, which can ensure sufficient heat dissipation effect and improve the working efficiency of the electrode 3.
[0045] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a pressing plate 12 is sleeved on the outer side of the electrode 3; a telescopic member 13 is fixedly connected between the connecting seat 1 and the pressing plate 12; the telescopic member 13 is made of a water-swellable material, such as expanded rubber, polymer hydrogel, etc.
[0046] Since electrical prospecting often requires multiple measurements at the same location to eliminate various interference factors, the measurement cycle is usually several days or even weeks. During this period, in order to save manpower and material resources, the electrode 3 will be retained in the rock and soil to facilitate measurement at any time. However, when it rains, rainwater will not only cause measurement errors, but the electrode 3 will be easily corroded and damaged due to long-term immersion in rainwater. At this time, when the present invention encounters rain, the telescopic part 13 absorbs water and expands and elongates, pushing the pressure plate 12 downward and pressing it to the ground. As the telescopic part 13 continues to expand, the connecting seat 1 is lifted upward as a whole, thereby pulling the electrode 3 out of the rock and soil, preventing the electrode 3 from being immersed in rock and soil full of rainwater for a long time, reducing its corrosion, and ensuring its measurement accuracy. In addition, the telescopic part 13 can be reused, and it can shrink to a normal state when the moisture inside it gradually dries.
[0047] An outer telescopic cylinder 14 and an inner telescopic cylinder 15 are fixedly connected between the connecting seat 1 and the pressing plate 12; the outer telescopic cylinder 14 and the inner telescopic cylinder 15 are formed by a group of cylinders with different diameters slidingly connected to each other; the electrode 3 is located inside the inner telescopic cylinder 15, and the telescopic member 13 is located between the outer telescopic cylinder 14 and the inner telescopic cylinder 15; the surface of the outer telescopic cylinder 14 is evenly distributed with a group of through holes, which are used for rainwater to pass through and contact the telescopic member 13. By setting the outer telescopic cylinder 14 and the inner telescopic cylinder 15, the telescopic member 13 is restricted inside the two. When the telescopic member 13 expands and stretches, the outer telescopic cylinder 14 and the inner telescopic cylinder 15 are also extended synchronously, thereby blocking the side of the telescopic member 13, preventing the telescopic member 13 from expanding to the side, ensuring its extension amplitude in the up and down directions, and improving the efficiency of pulling the electrode 3 out of the rock and soil.
[0048] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a group of water diversion blocks 16 are evenly distributed around the pressure plate 12; the surface of the water diversion blocks 16 is fixedly connected with a water diversion strip 17, and the other end of the water diversion strip 17 passes through the outer telescopic cylinder 14 and is connected to the telescopic member 13; the water diversion blocks 16 and the water diversion strip 17 are made of absorbent materials, such as cotton, sponge, absorbent cloth, etc.
[0049] Since the telescopic member 13 is located between the outer telescopic cylinder 14 and the inner telescopic cylinder 15 and is separated from the ground by the pressure plate 12, the telescopic member 13 can only come into contact with water when it rains only when the nearby water level reaches a certain height, which will delay the expansion process of the telescopic member 13. At this time, a water guide block 16 and a water guide bar 17 are provided, and the water guide block 16 is directly placed on the ground. When it rains, rainwater can quickly come into contact with the water guide block 16 and be absorbed by it, and then the moisture is conducted to the telescopic member 13 through the water guide bar 17, prompting the telescopic member 13 to quickly absorb water and expand, thereby further improving the extraction efficiency of the electrode 3.
[0050] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an air storage member 18 is provided inside the telescopic member 13; a push ring 19 is provided between the side of the conductive block 7 close to the socket 6 and the slide slot 5; the air storage member 18 and the push ring 19 are both designed as elastic hollow structures, and the air storage member 18 and the push ring 19 are interconnected through a conduit 25. As the telescopic member 13 gradually expands, the air storage member 18 will be squeezed, and the air inside the air storage member 18 will be squeezed into the push ring 19 through the conduit 25, causing the push ring 19 to inflate and push the conductive block 7 to move inside the slide slot 5, thereby separating the conductive block 7 from the conductive head 10, cutting off the entire circuit, and preventing short circuits caused by local water leakage during rain, which may cause the entire system to be damaged, thereby powering off the various electrodes 3 and devices in the system and extending their service life.
[0051] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a flexible ring 20 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the pressing plate 12, and the flexible ring 20 fits with the electrode 3. By providing the flexible ring 20, when the electrode 3 is pulled upward, the flexible ring 20 can rub and scrape the side of the electrode 3, thereby wiping off the mud and water adhering to the surface of the electrode 3, further reducing the corrosion of rainwater, and improving the cleanliness of the electrode 3, preventing mud and water from hardening on its surface and affecting its next insertion into the rock and soil.
[0052] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a plugging groove 21 is provided inside the pressing plate 12; magnetic plates 22 are slidably connected inside the plugging groove 21 at both sides of the electrode 3, and the pair of magnetic plates 22 attract each other; an elastic member 23 is fixedly connected between the magnetic plate 22 and the plugging groove 21; an elastic pad 24 is fixedly connected to one end of the magnetic plate 22 close to the electrode 3. After the electrode 3 is completely pulled out and the lower end of the electrode 3 passes over the pressing plate 12, the pair of magnetic plates 22 approach each other and close together under the action of magnetic attraction, thereby sealing the pressing plate 12, placing the electrode 3 in a relatively independent environment, further preventing rainwater from entering and contacting the electrode 3, and improving the protection effect on the electrode 3. By setting the elastic pads 24 to fit each other, the sealing degree of the pressing plate 12 can be improved.

Figure 1 As a benchmark, according to the person's observation perspective, the side of the device facing the observer is defined as the front, the left side of the observer is defined as the left, and so on.
