Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of expansive soil performance testing, in particular to an insertable expansive soil rainfall testing device and a method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Expansive soils are widely distributed in my country, and their diseases are prominent, seriously impacting the speed of foundation construction and regional development in expansive soil areas. Currently, the expansion characteristics of expansive soils are generally determined according to specifications. However, this method is often conservative and fails to fully utilize the foundation's performance, leading to the adoption of large-scale reinforcement and strong support measures, which indirectly wastes resources. The expansiveness indicators of strata given in geological survey data or specifications often fail to reflect the actual stratum characteristics at the construction site, and the expansiveness indicators derived from laboratory methods often differ significantly from the actual foundation conditions. Therefore, accurately obtaining the expansiveness indicators of expansive soil strata under rainfall conditions is of great significance to both structural design and engineering construction.

[0029] In the preferred solution, the specific calculation and analysis methods are:

[0030] S31. Measurement of soil pressure sensor. The soil pressure sensor records the pressure exerted by the expansive soil on the sensor during the expansion process. The specific formula is:

[0031] ;

[0032] : The pressure exerted by the soil on the sensor, unit: Pa, N / m²;

[0038] : water injection volume, unit: m³;

[0039] Generally speaking, the expansion pressure of expansive soil increases as the amount of water injected increases, but this relationship is not linear. The specific relationship can be fitted through experimental data. The specific fitting form is:

[0040] ;

[0041] a 、 b 、 n is the fitting coefficient, determined by experimental data;

[0042] S33. Calculation of the expansion coefficient. The expansion coefficient of soil is an important indicator to measure the expansion capacity of soil when it encounters water. The coefficient is calculated by the relationship between the expansion pressure and the amount of water injection. ke It is an important indicator to measure the expansion capacity of soil when it encounters water.

[0045] : Change of soil pressure, unit: Pa;

[0046] : Change in water injection volume, unit: m³;

[0047] The expansion coefficient can be obtained by deriving the pressure-injection rate curve of the experimental data;

[0048] If the expansion coefficient is calculated by the fitting form in step S32, the expansion coefficient for:

[0049] ;;;

[0074] Example 1

[0075] like Figure 1-2As shown, an insertable expansive soil rainfall test device includes: an insertion rod 2, an earth pressure sensor 3, a water injection device 5, a water source providing device 7 and a control terminal 1, wherein the insertion rod 2 is used to be inserted into the expansive soil and has a hollow interior. The earth pressure sensor 3 is arranged at the bottom of the insertion rod 2 and can be sent to a test position in the expansive soil through the insertion rod 2 and is used to detect the stress condition of the expansive soil. The water injection device 5 is arranged inside the insertion rod 2 and is used to inject a fixed amount of water into the expansive soil to simulate rainfall conditions. The water injection position is located above the earth pressure sensor 3 and the distance between the two is close, so that the water can be absorbed by the expansive soil around the earth pressure sensor 3 to form an ideal testing environment. The water source providing device 7 is connected to the water injection device 5 and is used to provide it with water. The control terminal 1 is used to control the water injection amount of the water source providing device 7 and the water injection device 5, monitor the stress data detected by the earth pressure sensor 3, and calculate and analyze the expansibility index. The water source providing device 7 and the control terminal 1 are both arranged on the soil surface.

[0076] It should be noted that the control terminal 1 can be a touch screen controller or a controller with a display panel, which is equipped with relevant systems for calculation and control, used for data calculation and equipment control. In addition, the control terminal 1 is connected to the water source supply device 7, the water injection device 5 and the monitoring soil pressure sensor 3 through an electrical connection. In addition, this is a conventional technical means, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0077] In addition, it is equipped with a mobile battery that meets the requirements and is connected to relevant equipment through wires to achieve power supply requirements.

[0078] With this design, a fixed amount of water can be injected into the expansive soil at a preset depth through the water injection device 5, so that the expansive soil produces corresponding expansion deformation, and then the stress data is collected through the soil pressure sensor 3 and transmitted to the control terminal 1, and the control terminal 1 is used to complete the expansion deformation calculation.

[0079] Example 2

[0080] Further illustrate with reference to Example 1, Figure 3-9 The structure shown, in order to be able to inject water into the expansive soil above the soil pressure sensor 3 and avoid unnecessary damage to the water injection needle 502 when the insertion rod 2 is inserted, the water injection device 5 includes a flow control device 52, a telescopic control device 51 and a telescopic water injection needle assembly 50 arranged in sequence inside the insertion rod 2 from top to bottom, and an opening 201 for the telescopic water injection needle assembly 50 to pass through is provided on the wall of the insertion rod 2.

[0081] The retractable water injection needle assembly 50 can retract the water injection needle 502 on the insertion rod 2 into the expansive soil during the process of inserting the insertion rod 2 into the expansive soil to avoid unnecessary damage. At the same time, after being inserted into place, it can be inserted into the expansive soil through the retractable control device 51, so that water can be injected into the interior of the expansive soil to produce a better expansion and deformation effect.

[0082] In the preferred embodiment, a rubber sheet 202 that can be separated from the center is provided at the opening 201, specifically a ring-shaped rubber sheet with a M-shaped splitting line. The M-shaped splitting line divides the circular rubber sheet into multiple sector-shaped areas from the center. When the water injection needle 502 passes through the center, the multiple sector-shaped areas of the ring-shaped rubber sheet will be separated from the M-shaped splitting line. When the water injection needle 502 is retracted, the ring-shaped rubber sheet is restored, thereby further preventing the problem of damage to the water injection needle 502 during the insertion process, and at the same time preventing expansive soil from entering and affecting the equipment.

[0083] In this embodiment, the retractable water injection needle assembly 50 includes a fixing ring 501 fixed on the inner wall surface of the insertion rod 2, and the fixing ring 501 is fixed on the inner wall surface of the insertion rod 2. A plurality of water injection needles 502 are retractably provided on the fixing ring 501. In this embodiment, the number of water injection needles 502 is four, and they are evenly distributed on the fixing ring 501. The four water injection needles 502 can inject water into the expansive soil more evenly. The water outlet end of the water injection needle 502 can pass through the corresponding opening 201, and a wedge block 503 is fixed at its tail end. The water inlet end of the water injection needle 502 is arranged above its tail, and the outside of the water injection needle 502 is also provided with a return spring 504 located between the fixing ring 501 and the wedge block 503.

[0084] With such a design, the four water injection needles 502 can be controlled to extend simultaneously by the resistance wedge 503 , and can be retracted under the action of the return spring 504 after the resistance disappears.

[0085] In addition, the soil pressure sensor 3 is an annular pressure sensor, which can more comprehensively detect the stress changes around it.

[0086] Furthermore, the telescopic control device 51 includes a telescopic push rod 511 and a pushing conical block 510, which are sequentially arranged inside the insertion rod 2 from top to bottom. The pushing conical block 510 is adapted to the wedge block 503. A plurality of limiting sliders 5104 are arranged on the outside of the top of the pushing conical block 510. In this embodiment, there are four limiting sliders 5104, and they are equidistant on the pushing conical block 510. A limiting groove 203 corresponding to the limiting slider 5104 is arranged inside the insertion rod 2. The two are slidably connected to make it easier to lift and lower. The telescopic push rod 511 is connected to the inner wall of the insertion rod 2 through a plurality of fixed blocks 5110 arranged on its outside. In this embodiment, there are four fixed blocks 5110.

[0087] It should be noted that the telescopic push rod 511 can be a cylinder or an electric push rod. In this embodiment, a waterproof electric push rod is preferred.

[0088] With such a design, the telescopic push rod 511 can push the pushing conical block 510 to extend and retract between the wedge blocks 503 of the four water injection needles 502, thereby achieving the effect of controlling the extension and retraction of the four water injection needles 502 through the change of the contact surface.

[0089] In the preferred embodiment, since the distance between the water injection needle 502 and the soil pressure sensor 3 needs to be set relatively close to ensure the test environment of the expansive soil, the length of the pushing conical block 510 is limited. In order to achieve the effect of ejecting the water injection needle 502 in a limited space, the pushing conical block 510 is a retractable structure, specifically including a plurality of hollow conical blocks 5100 that can be retracted one by one. The plurality of hollow conical blocks 5100 are connected to each other by a soft rubber sheet 5101, and a telescopic rod 5102 is arranged inside the telescopic rod 5102. The two ends of the telescopic rod 5102 are respectively connected to the inner walls of the two uppermost and lowermost hollow conical blocks 5100, and a telescopic spring 5103 is installed on the outside.

[0090] With this design, when the pushing conical block 510 moves downward to push the wedge block 503 of the water injection needle 502, the hollow conical block 5100 at the bottom relaxes its resistance due to the space, and the compressible telescopic spring 5103 and the telescopic rod 5102 shrink into the hollow conical block 5100 located above it. By the sequential expansion and contraction of the hollow conical block 5100, the pushing conical block 510 can keep moving downward in the limited space until the water injection needle 502 is completely ejected. Figure 4 As shown, when the pushing conical block 510 moves upward, the pushing conical block 510 can be restored under the action of the telescopic spring 5103.

[0091] It should be noted that the number of hollow conical blocks 5100 and soft rubber sheets 5101 is determined according to the specific length and the ejection length of the water injection needle 502. It should also be noted that when the hollow conical block 5100 below begins to extend and retract, the wedge block 503 and the hollow conical block 5100 above it conflict with each other.

[0092] Furthermore, the flow control device 52 includes an electromagnetic flow controller 520 and a water distributor 521 which are sequentially arranged inside the insertion rod 2 from top to bottom. The water inlet end of the electromagnetic flow controller 520 is connected to the water source providing device 7 through the water pipe 6, and the water outlet end is connected to the water inlet end of the water distributor 521. The number of water outlet ends of the water distributor 521 is adapted to the number of water injection needles 502, and is connected to the water inlet end of the corresponding water injection needles 502 through the water distribution hose 522, thereby realizing the control of the flow rate and ensuring the uniformity of the water output of each water injection needle 502.

[0093] An opening 5105 is provided on the limiting slider 5104 for the water distribution hose 522 to pass through, thereby avoiding unnecessary confusion when the limiting slider 5104 is raised or lowered.

[0094] In a preferred embodiment, a piercing cone tip 4 is fixed to the bottom end of the insertion rod 2 to facilitate its insertion into the expansive soil.

[0095] The water source providing device 7 includes a water tank and a water pump. The water inlet end of the water pump is connected to the water tank through a water pipe, and the water outlet end is connected to the water injection device 5, specifically connected to the water pipe 6, to achieve the effect of water supply.

[0096] A support plate 8 for placing the control terminal 1 is also provided at the top of the insertion rod 2. After the insertion of the insertion rod 2 is completed, the control terminal 1 can be placed on the support plate 8 for operation. At the same time, the setting of the support plate 8 also facilitates the application of pressure on the insertion of the insertion rod 2, and a perforation is provided at the center of the support plate 8, which facilitates the penetration and connection of the transmission line and the water pipe 6.

[0097] It should be noted that the transmission line and the water pipe 6 are both connected through a quick-connect plug-in connector, so that after the insertion rod 2 is inserted, the control terminal 1 and the water source providing device 7 can be quickly connected. The quick-connect plug-in connector can be a commonly used product on the market.

[0098] Example 3

[0099] Further illustrate with reference to Examples 1 and 2, as Figure 2 、 10-13 shows a structure in which, in order to facilitate the carrying of the device, the insertion rod 2 is a multi-section telescopic sleeve, which specifically includes a bottom sleeve 20, a plurality of intermediate sleeves 21 and a top sleeve 22 which are assembled one by one from bottom to top. The specific number of the plurality of intermediate sleeves 21 can be determined according to the actual length. The soil pressure sensor 3, the penetration cone tip 4 and the water injection device 5 are all arranged on the bottom sleeve 20, and the water pipe 6 is a spiral hose for easy extension and retraction.

[0100] In the preferred embodiment, in order to facilitate quick extraction and use, the top sleeve 22 and the middle sleeve 21 are internally provided with a plurality of vertically downward ratchet grooves 23 and telescopic limit grooves 24. In this embodiment, the number of ratchet grooves 23 is four, and the number of telescopic limit grooves 24 is two, and they are evenly distributed. The outside of the top of the middle sleeve 21 and the bottom sleeve 20 is provided with a ratchet structure 26 and a telescopic limit block 25. The ratchet structure 26 and the telescopic limit block 25 respectively cooperate with the ratchet groove 23 and the telescopic limit groove 24. It should be noted that the shape of the ratchet structure 26 and the ratchet groove 23 allows the sleeves to only perform one-way extension movement. In order to facilitate the arrangement of the ratchet structure 26, the ratchet grooves 23 of adjacent sleeves are staggered.

[0101] With this design, all sleeves can be quickly opened by stretching, and the retraction effect can be effectively avoided by the interference relationship between the pawl structure 26 and the ratchet groove 23, and the telescopic limit groove 24 and the telescopic limit block 25 can avoid separation.

[0102] In addition, the outer walls of the bottom ends of the top casing 22 and the middle casing 21 are in an inwardly inclined tapered shape, so as to facilitate better insertion into the expansive soil.

[0103] Furthermore, the pawl structure 26 includes a receiving groove 260 opened on the outside of the top of the middle sleeve 21 and the bottom sleeve 20. The bottom of the receiving groove 260 is rotatably connected with a pawl 262 adapted to the ratchet groove 23, and the receiving groove 260 can completely accommodate the pawl 262. The pawl 262 is rotatably connected to the receiving groove 260 through a rotating shaft 261 set at both ends of its bottom. The outside of the rotating shaft 261 is also provided with a torsion spring 264 for resetting. The two ends of the torsion spring 264 respectively conflict with the opposite surfaces of the pawl 262 and the receiving groove 260. Therefore, through the shape setting of the pawl structure 26 and the ratchet groove 23, when the pawl structure 26 moves downward, the pawl 262 can be continuously retracted into the receiving groove 260 through contact with the ratchet groove 23. When the pawl structure 26 wants to move upward, it will conflict with the ratchet groove 23 to achieve a locking effect, so that the insertion rod 2 can maintain its length and be inserted into the expansive soil.

[0104] In addition, in order to facilitate the retraction and carrying of the insertion rod 2 when not in use, an electromagnet 263 is embedded in the wall of the accommodating groove 260 facing the pawl 262. The specific retraction method is: appropriately stretch the sleeve downward to properly disengage the pawl 262 from the ratchet groove 23, then turn on the electromagnet 263 to absorb the pawl 262 into the accommodating groove 260, and then retract it.

[0105] It should be noted that the electromagnet 263 is connected to the control terminal 1 through a transmission line.

[0106] Example 4

[0107] Further illustrate with reference to Examples 1-3, Figure 1 The structure shown in FIG. 1 includes a method for using the above-mentioned insertion-type expansive soil rainfall testing device, the method comprising:

[0108] S1. Insert the insertion rod 2 into the expansive soil to be tested, and ensure that the soil pressure sensor 3 at the bottom of the insertion rod 2 is inserted to the preset depth, and then connect the transmission line of the control terminal 1 and the water supply pipe of the water source providing device 7;

[0109] S2. The water supply device 7 supplies water to the water injection device 5 located above the soil pressure sensor 3 to inject a certain amount of water into the expansive soil, thereby causing the expansive soil around the soil pressure sensor 3 to deform.

[0110] S3. The soil pressure sensor 3 monitors the pressure generated when the expansive soil is deformed, and transmits the specific stress data to the control terminal 1. The control terminal 1 calculates and analyzes the expansiveness index to obtain the test results.

[0111] In the preferred solution, the specific calculation and analysis methods are:
