Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of geotechnical testing equipment, in particular to a visualized rock and soil multi-field coupling direct shear creep instrument. Background Art

[0002] The creep behavior of rock and soil, that is, the slow deformation of rock and soil over time under long-term loads, is one of the important factors affecting the stability of engineering. Creep is particularly prominent in projects such as high fill slopes, deep foundation pits and tunnels. In actual engineering, rock and soil are also affected by various factors such as temperature changes, water pressure fluctuations and chemical environment. The coupling of these influencing factors will significantly affect the creep behavior of rock and soil. Therefore, studying the direct shear creep characteristics of rock and soil under multi-field coupling is of great significance for engineering design and construction.

[0003] At present, the research on shear creep characteristics of rock and soil under multi-field coupling at home and abroad is mostly based on triaxial test instruments. The sample size mostly adopts indoor test standard samples, and the gravel soil larger than 2mm is artificially removed, which seriously damages the structural property of the soil. At present, there are few direct shear creep test equipment that considers the influence of large-scale visualized multi-field coupling. The dynamic triaxial test method is mainly used for the study of creep properties of rock and soil under dynamic loads such as earthquakes, explosions, and mechanical vibrations. The study of creep properties of rock and soil under the influence of reservoir water level and rainfall mainly adopts the method of first subjecting the sample to dry-wet cycle treatment, infiltration treatment and leaching test and then creep test. The study of creep properties of rock and soil under the influence of temperature mainly adopts the method of first subjecting the sample to freeze-thaw cycle, low-temperature freezing and high-temperature treatment and then creep test. These test methods are difficult to accurately meet the actual working conditions.

[0004] In addition, the existing shear creep instrument cannot clearly observe the entire process of rock and soil shear failure, and can only observe the structure before and after the direct shear creep test. Only with the help of numerical experiments can the movement processes of particle rupture, grinding, flipping, and migration be deduced. This simulation result is difficult to verify and may be very different from the actual situation. With the occurrence of shear, the upper and lower shear boxes are offset from each other, and the center of the shear surface is displaced, causing the effective shear area to gradually decrease. The center position of the vertical normal stress applied to the upper shear box and the vertical loading force provided by the weight remain unchanged. The shear stress continues to increase with the occurrence of shear displacement, deviating from the set shear stress. For large-scale direct shear creep tests, the problem is more prominent. Therefore, the traditional direct shear creep instrument will produce distortion and errors. Summary of the invention

[0047] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the visualized geotechnical multi-field coupled direct shear creep instrument of the embodiment of the present invention comprises a shear box device, a loading device, a temperature control device, a disturbance load device, a seepage control device and a microstructure tracking device.

[0048] Among them, the shear box device is used to load rock and soil samples, including an upper shear box 1 and a lower shear box 2 arranged in sequence from top to bottom, and the upper shear box 1 and the lower shear box 2 are rollingly matched along the left and right directions to facilitate applying horizontal loads in opposite directions to the upper shear box 1 and the lower shear box 2 respectively, so that relative displacement can occur between the upper shear box 1 and the lower shear box 2.

[0049] Among them, the loading device includes a normal loading device and a shear loading device. The normal loading device is used to apply vertical compressive stress to the rock and soil samples in the shear box device, and the shear loading device is used to apply horizontal shear stress to the rock and soil samples in the shear box device.

[0050] Among them, the temperature control device includes a dry-wet cycle device and a freeze-thaw cycle device. The dry-wet cycle device is used to perform dry-wet cycle on the rock and soil samples in the shear box device, and the freeze-thaw cycle device is used to perform freeze-thaw cycle on the rock and soil samples in the shear box device.

[0052] The seepage control device includes a water inlet control component for controlling the water addition to the rock and soil samples in the shear box device and an electronic measuring cylinder 37 for measuring the water output of the rock and soil samples in the shear box device.

[0053] The microstructure tracking device includes a micro camera arranged on the outside of the shear box device and an X-CT scanner arranged on the inside of the shear box device, so as to realize the visualization of the test process.

[0054] Therefore, the visualized rock and soil multi-field coupling direct shear creep instrument of the embodiment of the present invention is suitable for direct shear creep tests of large-scale rock and soil bodies under multi-field coupling conditions such as dynamic seepage field, dynamic stress field, dynamic temperature field, dynamic moisture field, and dynamic water chemical field, and has a high degree of visualization.

[0055] Specifically, the visualized rock and soil multi-field coupling direct shear creep instrument of the embodiment of the present invention also includes a controller, which is electrically connected to the shear box device, the loading device, the temperature control device, the disturbance load device, the seepage control device and the microstructure tracking device, thereby realizing the automatic control of the direct shear creep test under multi-field coupling conditions.

[0056] Specifically, the upper shear box 1 includes four upper shear box side walls and a rectangular top cover 101. The four upper shear box side walls enclose an upper rectangular cavity with two ends open. The rectangular top cover 101 is detachably arranged on the top of the upper rectangular cavity, and the four sides of the rectangular top cover 101 can slide up and down along the inner side wall of the upper rectangular cavity. When the geotechnical sample is loaded in the shear box device, the rectangular top cover 101 is covered on the top of the geotechnical sample, and a normal stress can be applied to the geotechnical sample by applying a downward force to the rectangular top cover 101.

[0057] The lower shear box 2 includes four lower shear box side walls and a rectangular bottom plate 201. The four lower shear box side walls enclose a lower rectangular cavity with two ends open. The rectangular bottom plate 201 is detachably arranged at the bottom of the lower rectangular cavity, and the four sides of the rectangular bottom plate 201 can slide up and down along the inner side wall of the lower rectangular cavity. When the test is completed, an upward force can be applied to the rectangular bottom plate 201, so as to facilitate the rock and soil sample to be lifted up and taken out from the shear box device.

[0058] Specifically, the front and rear side walls of the upper shear box 1 are respectively rolled with the front and rear side walls of the lower shear box 2 through the first ball assembly 3, so that the upper shear box 1 and the lower shear box 2 can roll with each other in the left and right direction.

[0059] Among them, each first ball assembly 3 includes a row of first balls, and ball grooves matching the first balls are respectively provided at the bottom of the front and rear side walls of the upper shear box 1 and at the top of the front and rear side walls of the lower shear box 2 to limit the first balls from rolling in the left and right directions.

[0060] Specifically, limit baffles 4 are respectively installed on the outer sides of the front and rear side walls of the lower shear box 2, and each limit baffle 4 extends to the position of the upper shear box 1, and the front and rear side walls of the upper shear box 1 can slide left and right along the two limit baffles 4, respectively, thereby limiting the left and right movement between the upper shear box 1 and the lower shear box 2, and preventing the upper shear box 1 from being displaced forward and backward between the lower shear box 2.

[0061] Specifically, two micro cameras are provided, which can be respectively arranged on the outside of the left wall of the upper shear box 1 and the outside of the right wall of the lower shear box 2, so as to facilitate the observation of the relative displacement between the upper shear box 1 and the lower shear box 2 and the external changes of the geotechnical sample.

[0062] Among them, the installation position of the X-CT scanner inside the shear box device can be set according to actual usage requirements. The X-CT scanner can be used to observe the overall changes of the rock and soil samples during the test.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, a force transmission frame 5 is provided on the outside of the shear box device, and the force transmission frame 5 includes a support bottom plate and a support frame body fixed on the support bottom plate, wherein the bottoms of the front and rear side walls of the lower shear box 2 respectively roll with the support bottom plate of the force transmission frame 5 through roller assemblies 6, and a roller guide groove that cooperates with the roller assembly 6 is also provided on the support bottom plate of the force transmission frame 5 to limit the rolling direction of the roller assembly 6. That is, by providing the roller assembly 6, it is convenient to realize the relative movement between the shear box device and the force transmission frame 5, so as not to affect the horizontal shear stress applied to the shear box device during the test.

[0064] Among them, a lifting mechanism 7 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the four corners of the lower rectangular cavity of the lower shear box 2, and the rectangular bottom plate 201 of the lower shear box 2 is driven and connected to the lifting end of the lifting mechanism 7, so that the rectangular bottom plate 201 can be driven to move up and down along the inner wall of the lower rectangular cavity, so as to push the rock and soil samples on the rectangular bottom plate 201 upward after the test is completed.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, the normal loading device includes a primary force expansion mechanism, a secondary force expansion mechanism and a limiting mechanism. The primary force expansion mechanism includes a transmission chain 8, a transmission chain driving mechanism 9, a transmission sprocket 10, a transmission gear 11, a balance gear 12 and a transmission rack 13. The transmission sprocket 10 is installed on the top of the transmission chain driving mechanism 9 through a mounting frame (not shown in the figure). The transmission chain driving mechanism 9 is drivingly connected to the transmission chain 8, and the transmission chain 8 is meshingly connected to the transmission sprocket 10. The transmission gear 11 and the transmission sprocket 10 are arranged from front to back and are coaxially installed on the mounting frame. The transmission gear 11 and the balance gear 12 are respectively meshedly connected with the two sides of the transmission rack 13. A guide groove (not shown in the figure) is also provided on the mounting frame for sliding up and down with the transmission rack 13. That is, the transmission chain driving mechanism 9 can drive the transmission sprocket 10 to rotate clockwise through the transmission chain 8, and the rotation of the transmission sprocket 10 can drive the transmission gear 11 to rotate clockwise synchronously, and then the rotation of the transmission gear 11 drives the transmission rack 13 to move downward along the guide groove.

[0066] The transmission chain driving mechanism 9 adopts an existing structural form, for example, a steel wire rope of a winch can be connected to one end of the transmission chain 8, and the other end of the transmission chain 8 can be connected to the transmission gear 11, so as to drive the transmission gear 11. Alternatively, two driving motors can be provided, each motor is provided with a sprocket, and the annular transmission chain 8 is connected through the transmission gear 11 and the two sprockets, so as to drive the transmission gear 11.

[0067] The secondary force expansion mechanism includes a first hydraulic cylinder 14 and a second hydraulic cylinder 15. The first hydraulic cylinder 14 is located below the transmission rack 13, and the transmission rack 13 is connected and fixed to the piston rod of the first hydraulic cylinder 14 through the first force transmission rod 16. The second hydraulic cylinder 15 is located below the force transmission frame 5, and the piston rod of the second hydraulic cylinder 15 is connected and fixed to the bottom of the force transmission frame 5, and the oil chamber of the first hydraulic cylinder 14 is connected to the oil chamber of the second hydraulic cylinder 15. That is, when the transmission rack 13 moves downward along the guide groove, the piston rod of the first hydraulic cylinder 14 can be driven to contract through the first force transmission rod 16, thereby squeezing the oil chamber of the first hydraulic cylinder 14, so that the hydraulic oil in the first hydraulic cylinder 14 flows into the second hydraulic cylinder 15, and then the second hydraulic cylinder 15 provides a reliable upward driving force for the force transmission frame 5, thereby achieving the purpose of secondary force expansion.

[0068] The limiting mechanism includes a gantry frame 17, a second force transmission rod 18 and a pressure plate 19. The gantry frame 17 is fixedly mounted on a workbench 20, and the workbench 20 is fixedly mounted on the ground. The upper end of the second force transmission rod 18 is connected and fixed to the top plate of the gantry frame 17, and the lower end of the second force transmission rod 18 is connected and fixed to the upper end surface of the pressure plate 19. The lower end surface of the pressure plate 19 and the upper end surface of the rectangular bottom plate 201 of the lower shear box 2 are rollingly matched through the second ball assembly 21. That is, under the support of the gantry frame 17 and the second force transmission rod 18, the position of the pressure plate 19 can be ensured to remain unchanged.
