Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of soil infiltration test devices, and in particular to a soil infiltration test device and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Soil infiltration rate refers to the amount of water that infiltrates per unit area of ​​soil per unit time. It reflects the soil's ability to absorb water. The infiltration rate is closely related to the infiltration process. Initially, the soil infiltration rate is very high; this is called the initial infiltration rate or initial infiltration rate. As rainfall continues and increases, the infiltration rate decreases, eventually maintaining a stable value, called the final infiltration rate or steady-state infiltration rate, which characterizes the soil's permeability characteristics. The soil infiltration rate decreases over time. Initially, the soil has low water content and a high infiltration rate. As time progresses and soil water content increases, matrix suction decreases, and the infiltration rate gradually decreases, eventually reaching a stable value, known as the steady-state infiltration rate. The magnitude of the steady-state infiltration rate depends on factors such as the soil's porosity, texture, structure, soil cracks, and surface crust. The development of infiltration testing equipment is also becoming increasingly diverse.

[0003] After searching, an existing patent (Announcement No.: CN105259090B) discloses a soil infiltrator, comprising a sample container, a first water reservoir, a second water reservoir, and a water pump; the sample container is located inside the first water reservoir; the first water reservoir is located inside the second water reservoir; the height of the first water reservoir is higher than the height of the sample container; the top of the sample container is open, and the sample container is used to hold a soil sample; the water pump is used to inject liquid from the second water reservoir into the first water reservoir, so that the liquid in the first water reservoir flows from the top of the sample container through the soil sample and is discharged from the bottom of the sample container. The experimental device of this invention is simple, low-cost, and easy to carry, making it convenient for researchers conducting experiments outdoors to determine the soil permeability coefficient using the constant head test method.

[0004] However, there are still some shortcomings in the above solution:

[0005] 1. There is only one set of sample containers. However, in actual soil infiltration tests, it is difficult to obtain stable and accurate sample results with only one set of test data. The lack of comparative tests makes the test results less reliable.

[0006] 2. When conducting soil infiltration tests, the seeping water is collected through a water collector. During this process, it is difficult to observe the soil infiltration rate simply and intuitively, and it is impossible to simply and clearly reflect the soil's initial, mid-term and late water penetration capacity.

[0007] In view of this, the present invention provides a soil infiltration test device and a method for using the same. Summary of the Invention

[0023] A method for using a soil infiltration test device comprises the following steps:

[0024] S1. Place the prepared test soil block on the support plate, rotate the two-way screw to move the two side plates closer to each other, and manually push the telescopic plate. Use the guide plate, side plates and telescopic plate to limit the square soil block to a certain extent;

[0025] S2. Next, the swing plate is rotated at the top of the column so that the star frame is located above the test soil block. Then, the electric hydraulic pressure is activated to push the star frame downward so that the three columns are inserted into the test soil block. The soil is filled in the columns to form soil columns, and the soil columns are now tightly attached to the inner wall of the columns.

[0026] S3. After the soil column is collected, the star frame is lifted by the electric hydraulic device, and the swing plate is rotated until it is in contact with the limit plate. Then, the star frame is pushed down by the electric hydraulic device, and the star frame is overlapped inside the star cavity. The column is inserted into the tube cavity so that the bottom end of the column contacts the partition screen;

[0027] S4. When the infiltration test is carried out, the motor is started and the solution is injected into the lower solution cavity to fill the lower solution cavity. When the motor is started, the motor drives the transmission gear to rotate through its output shaft, and the transmission gear drives the rotating drum to rotate slowly through the gear ring, and the transmission gear can drive the large bevel gear to rotate, and the large bevel gear drives the turntable to rotate through the small bevel gear. The rotating turntable pushes and pulls the connecting rod back and forth, so that the connecting rod pushes and pulls the transmission piston back and forth through the built-in rod. When the transmission piston moves downward, the one-way valve at the solution inlet pipe port is opened, and the one-way valve at the end of the solution discharge pipe is closed, so that the solution inside the solution tank is pumped into the piston cylinder. When the transmission piston moves upward, the one-way valve at the solution inlet pipe port is closed, and the one-way valve at the end of the solution discharge pipe is opened, so that the solution inside the piston cylinder can be transported to the interior of the upper solution frame through the solution discharge pipe, and flow into the interior of the lower solution cavity through the upper solution frame, thereby continuously transporting the solution to the interior of the lower solution cavity.

[0028] S5. After the solution in the lower solution cavity permeates through the soil columns inside the three columns, it flows into the three solution delivery pipes through the three cones respectively, and then flows into the inside of the side frame through the solution delivery pipes. Since the side frame is connected to the collection frame, it will eventually be collected at the collection frame and the bottom of the side frame. It should be noted that, initially, the float seat is overlapped with the upper end of the support block, and the bottom of the float seat is pre-stored with solution in contact with the bottom surface of the float seat;

[0029] S6. As the solution inside the side frame is continuously added, the liquid level inside the collection frame rises, driving the floating seat to move upward. The floating seat drives the painting pen to move upward through the hollow top column. As the rotating drum rotates slowly, three lines can be drawn on the coordinate paper with the three painting pens. In this way, the infiltration of the soil can be observed. For the convenience of observation, the colors of the three painting pens can be different.

[0030] The working principle and beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0031] 1. In the present invention, a rotating drum is rotatably connected to the top of the base, a gear ring is fixed to the outer periphery of the rotating drum, and coordinate paper is posted on the inner wall of the rotating drum. An infiltration mechanism is provided on the upper side of the mounting frame, wherein the infiltration mechanism includes an infiltration experiment component and a solution delivery component. A driving mechanism is provided on one side of the rotating drum. The driving mechanism can cause the connecting rod to reciprocately push and pull the transmission piston through the built-in rod, so that the solution inside the solution tank can be delivered to the interior of the upper solution frame through the solution discharge pipe, and then flow into the interior of the lower solution cavity through the upper solution frame, thereby continuously delivering the solution to the interior of the lower solution cavity and ensuring sufficient solution for the soil infiltration test;

[0032] 2. In the present invention, while the driving mechanism drives the infiltration mechanism, it can also drive the rotating drum to rotate slowly and uniformly. The solution inside the lower solution cavity permeates through the soil columns inside the three cylinders, flows into the three solution delivery pipes through the three cone cylinders respectively, and then flows into the side frames through the solution delivery pipes, and finally gathers in the collection frame and the bottom of the side frames. As the solution inside the side frames is continuously added, the solution level inside the collection frame rises, driving the floating seat to move up, and the floating seat drives the drawing pen to move up through the hollow top column. As the rotating drum rotates slowly, three lines can be drawn on the coordinate paper by the three drawing pens. The horizontal axis of the coordinate paper can be the time axis, and the vertical axis of the coordinate paper can be the capacity value. In this way, the infiltration of the soil per unit time (the rotating drum rotates at a uniform and slow speed) can be observed simply and clearly. For the convenience of observation, the colors of the three drawing pens can be different. By observing the three drawn curves, it can be used for comparative experiments to obtain the average infiltration amount in a certain period of time, which significantly improves the accuracy of the test results. The structure is simple and the design is ingenious, providing direction for soil infiltration tests and has high use value. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The rotating turntable 99 pushes and pulls the connecting rod 98 back and forth, so that the connecting rod 98 pushes and pulls the transmission piston 814 back and forth through the built-in rod 815.

[0066] In the embodiment, the solution inside the lower solution cavity 822 penetrates through the soil column inside the three column barrels 717, and then flows into the three solution conveying pipes 21 through the three conical barrels 827, and then flows into the side frame 23 through the solution conveying pipes 21. Since the side frame 23 is connected with the collecting frame 24, the solution finally collects at the bottom of the collecting frame 24 and the side frame 23. It should be noted that initially, the floating seat 25 is overlapped on the upper end of the supporting block 26, and the floating seat 25 has stored the solution in contact with the bottom surface of the floating seat 25 in advance. With the continuous addition of the solution inside the side frame 23, the liquid level of the solution inside the collecting frame 24 rises, driving the floating seat 25 to move upward. The floating seat 25 drives the drawing pen 28 to move upward through the hollow top column 22. With the slow rotation of the rotating drum 4, three lines can be drawn on the coordinate paper 5 by the three drawing pens 28. In this way, the infiltration of the soil can be observed. In order to facilitate observation, the colors of the three drawing pens 28 can be different.

[0067] Working principle and use process: the test soil block prepared in advance is placed on the supporting plate 721, the two side plates 724 are moved close to each other by rotating the bidirectional screw rod 723, and the telescopic plate 725 is manually pushed, so that the quadrilateral soil block is limited and constrained by the guide plate 722, the side plate 724 and the telescopic plate 725. Then, the swing plate 713 is rotated at the top end of the stand column 712, so that the star-shaped frame 715 is located above the test soil block. After that, the electric hydraulic device 716 is started, and the star-shaped frame 715 is pushed down by the electric hydraulic device 716, so that the three column barrels 717 are inserted into the test soil block, so that the soil is filled in the column barrels 717 to form soil columns, and the soil columns are tightly fitted with the inner walls of the column barrels 717 at this time. After the soil column collection is completed, the remaining soil block on the supporting plate 721 can be selectively pushed and discharged. Then, the star-shaped frame 715 is lifted by the electric hydraulic device 716, the swing plate 713 is rotated to be in contact with the limiting plate 714, and then the star-shaped frame 715 is pushed down by the electric hydraulic device 716 to be overlapped in the star-shaped cavity 823. The column barrel 717 is inserted into the pipe cavity 825, so that the bottom end of the column barrel 717 is in contact with the separation net 826.

[0068] When conducting an infiltration test, the motor 92 is started, and the solution is injected into the lower solution cavity 822 to fill the lower solution cavity 822. When the motor 92 is started, the motor 92 drives the transmission gear 93 to rotate through its output shaft, and the transmission gear 93 drives the rotating drum 4 to rotate slowly through the gear ring 3, and the transmission gear 93 can drive the large bevel gear 94 to rotate. The large bevel gear 94 drives the turntable 99 to rotate through the small bevel gear 97. The rotating turntable 99 pushes and pulls the connecting rod 98 back and forth, so that the connecting rod 98 pushes and pulls the transmission piston 814 back and forth through the built-in rod 815. When the transmission piston 814 moves downward, the one-way valve at the end of the solution inlet pipe 816 is opened, and the one-way valve at the end of the solution discharge pipe 812 is closed, so that the solution inside the solution box 811 is pumped into the piston cylinder 813. When the piston moves upward, the one-way valve at the end of the solution inlet pipe 816 is closed, and the one-way valve at the end of the solution discharge pipe 812 is opened, so that the solution inside the piston cylinder 813 can be transported to the interior of the upper solution frame 821 through the solution discharge pipe 812, and then flow into the interior of the lower solution cavity 822 through the upper solution frame 821, thereby continuously transporting the solution to the interior of the lower solution cavity 822. After the solution inside the lower solution cavity 822 permeates through the soil columns inside the three columns 717, it flows into the interior of the three solution delivery pipes 21 through the three cones 827 respectively, and then flows into the interior of the side frame 23 through the solution delivery pipes 21. Since the side frame 23 is connected to the collection frame 24, the solution will eventually be collected at the bottom of the collection frame 24 and the side frame 23. It should be noted that, initially, the floating seat 25 is overlapped on the upper end of the supporting block 26, and the bottom of the floating seat 25 is pre-stored with the solution in contact with the bottom surface of the floating seat 25.

[0069] As the solution inside the side frame 23 is continuously added, the liquid level of the solution inside the collecting frame 24 rises, driving the floating seat 25 to move upward. The floating seat 25 drives the painting pen 28 to move upward through the hollow top column 22. As the rotating drum 4 slowly rotates, three lines can be drawn on the coordinate paper 5 by the three painting pens 28. Preferably, the horizontal axis of the coordinate paper 5 can be the time axis, and the vertical axis of the coordinate paper 5 can be the capacity value. In this way, the infiltration of the soil per unit time (the rotating drum 4 rotates slowly and uniformly) can be observed. In order to facilitate observation, the colors of the three painting pens 28 can be different. By observing the three drawn curves, it can be used to conduct comparative experiments to improve the accuracy of the test results.

[0070] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
