Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural machinery and equipment technology, specifically to a device and method for characterizing the dynamic mechanical properties of surface soil. Background Technology
[0002] Hilly and mountainous areas are characterized by rugged terrain, loose soil, and high soil moisture content. However, the interaction mechanism between agricultural machinery wheels and the rugged, loose ground in hilly and mountainous areas remains unclear. This lack of theoretical guidance for chassis and tire design leads to poor maneuverability, weak ride comfort, and low stability of agricultural machinery in hilly and mountainous environments. Consequently, agricultural machinery is prone to vibration, getting stuck, and slipping during movement and operation, which hinders the development of agricultural mechanization in hilly and mountainous areas. To clarify the interaction mechanism between agricultural machinery wheels and rugged, loose ground in hilly and mountainous environments, it is necessary to characterize the mechanical properties of the surface soil under dynamic (vibration) conditions.
[0003] Currently, there are three methods for characterizing soil mechanical properties: cone penetration test, Bainck test, and geotechnical tests (direct shear, triaxial compression, etc.). Due to its ability to describe soil pressure-settlement relationships and shear stress-shear displacement behavior in situ, the Bainck test is the most suitable method for characterizing the mechanical properties of surface soils in hilly and mountainous areas. Chinese patent CN103115832B discloses a soil bearing capacity and shear test instrument. Based on the Bainck test principle, it can apply a vertical load to the pressure plate using weights to conduct soil bearing capacity tests, and can manually apply torque to the shear ring using a torsion wrench to conduct soil shear characteristic tests. However, because the vertical load and torque can only be manually adjusted, this patent has low accuracy in characterizing soil mechanical properties and is difficult to apply vibration loads to characterize dynamic soil mechanical properties. Chinese patent CN111735703B discloses a portable Bainck instrument with three servo drive systems. These systems control the vertical movement of linear electric cylinders to apply normal force to the soil, thereby independently measuring soil bearing capacity; and control a servo motor to drive the rotating shaft to apply shear force to the soil, thereby independently measuring soil shear characteristics. This patent employs a servo system to control the driving force, ensuring high accuracy in characterizing soil mechanical properties. However, it requires multiple mechanisms to characterize soil bearing and shear properties separately, resulting in a complex device structure. Furthermore, it does not address methods or devices for characterizing soil mechanical properties under dynamic conditions. Therefore, the current lack of a device and method for characterizing the dynamic mechanical properties of surface soil hinders research into the interaction mechanism between agricultural machinery wheels and the rugged, soft ground in hilly and mountainous areas, thus restricting the development of agricultural mechanization in these regions. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a device and method for characterizing the dynamic mechanical properties of surface soil, which can characterize the mechanical properties of soil under dynamic conditions, laying the foundation for subsequent research on the interaction mechanism between agricultural machinery wheels and rugged, soft ground in hilly and mountainous environments.

By performing the above steps multiple times to explore the correspondence between different pressures p and different depths z, the pz curve of the soil's conventional bearing capacity can be established.
[0022] Furthermore, the steps for testing the dynamic bearing capacity of soil are as follows: setting the movement speed v of the pressure plate, the vertical pressure p applied to the soil, the vibration frequency f, and the amplitude A, and transmitting these values to the programmable logic controller (PLC); the PLC generates periodic fluctuations in speed. and pressure Analog signals are transmitted to the first driver in real time; the first driver controls the first servo motor, causing the pressure plate to move at a periodically fluctuating speed.

Detailed Implementation
[0044] The present invention will now be described in further detail.
[0045] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a device for characterizing the dynamic mechanical properties of surface soil includes a frame, a power shaft fixing device, a thrust device, a torque device, and a control system. The thrust device drives the power shaft fixing device to move up and down, thereby driving the pressure plate 17 or shear ring 18 to apply vertical pressure to the soil via the power shaft 12. The torque device drives the power shaft 12 to rotate and provides torque to it, thereby driving the shear ring 18 to apply shear to the soil.
[0046] The frame includes a top plate 3, sliding rods 9, and a bottom plate 10. The bottom plate 10 is placed on the ground, and four evenly arranged sliding rods 9 are fixed to the bottom plate 10 with screws. The top plate 3 is also fixed to the four sliding rods 9 with screws so that the top plate 3 is parallel to the bottom plate 10.
[0047] The power shaft fixing device includes a sliding upper crossbeam 5, a support rod 6, a sliding lower crossbeam 7, sliding bearings 8, tapered roller bearings 11, and a power shaft 12. Each sliding rod 9 is equipped with two sliding bearings 8, and the sliding upper crossbeam 5 and the sliding lower crossbeam 7 are connected by screws and sliding bearings 8, so that the upper crossbeam 5 and the sliding lower crossbeam 7 can only move up and down; the sliding upper crossbeam 5 and the sliding lower crossbeam 7 are fixed by screws and support rods 6, so that the distance between the sliding upper crossbeam 5 and the sliding lower crossbeam 7 is constant; a pair of tapered roller bearings 11 are installed in the sliding upper crossbeam 5 and the sliding lower crossbeam 7; the power shaft 12 is installed in the tapered roller bearings 11, so that the power shaft 12 cannot move axially, but can only move up and down with the sliding upper crossbeam 5 and the sliding lower crossbeam 7, and the power shaft 12 is allowed to rotate.
[0048] The thrust device includes a first servo motor 1, an electric cylinder 2, and a normal force sensor 4. The first servo motor 1 is equipped with a reducer and is fixed to the electric cylinder 2. The electric cylinder 2 is fixed to the top plate 3 by screws, and its shaft end extends through the round hole of the top plate 3. The shaft end of the electric cylinder 2 is connected to the normal force sensor 4 by threads. The normal force sensor 4 is connected to the sliding upper crossbeam 5 by screws. Driven by the first servo motor 1, the shaft end of the electric cylinder 2 can move up and down, and through the normal force sensor 4, it drives the power shaft fixing device to move up and down, thereby driving the power shaft 12 to move up and down. At the same time, the normal force sensor 4 can be used to record the real-time vertical load.
[0049] The torque device includes a right-angle commutator 13 horizontally mounted on one side of the power shaft 12, a torque sensor 14, and a second servo motor 15. The second servo motor 15 is connected to the torque sensor 14 via screws; the torque sensor 14 is connected to the right-angle commutator 13 via screws; the right-angle commutator 13 is fixed to the sliding lower crossbeam 7 via screws and engages with the power shaft 12 via a key; under the drive of the second servo motor 15, its torque can be transmitted to the torque sensor 14, and then to the input end of the right-angle commutator 13; through the bevel gear inside the right-angle commutator 13, the torque direction can be changed from the horizontal direction to the vertical direction, and through the engagement of the key, the torque is transmitted to the power shaft 12. Since the power shaft 12 is installed in the tapered roller bearing 11, the power shaft 12 can rotate in the tapered roller bearing 11 without axial movement. Therefore, the downward pressure applied to the power shaft 12 by the thrust device and the horizontal torque applied to the power shaft 12 by the torque device can be independent of each other and unaffected. This allows for simultaneous vertical pressure and horizontal shear tests, which is beneficial for characterizing various comprehensive mechanical properties of the surface soil.
[0050] The drive shaft 12 is connected to the transition shaft 16 by threads; the transition shaft 16 is connected to the pressure plate 17 by screws.
[0051] The pressure plate 17 can be replaced with a shear ring 18, as shown in Figure 3(a) and Figure 3(b). The pressure plate 17 is used for soil bearing capacity test, and the shear ring 18 is used for soil shear test.
[0052] Control system such as Figure 4 As shown, the touchscreen 19 can be used to set test parameters such as the vertical movement speed v of the pressure plate 17 or the shear ring 18, the vertical pressure p applied to the soil, the rotational speed ω, the rotational torque T, the vibration frequency f, and the amplitude A. The touchscreen 19 transmits the test parameters to the programmable logic controller 20. The programmable logic controller 20 converts the test parameters into real-time motion analog signals and transmits them to the first driver 21 and the second driver 22. The first driver 21 uses the real-time motion analog signal as a reference value and the speed value v of the aforementioned thrust device. f (Derived from the encoder built into the first servo motor 1) and pressure value p f (Based on the normal force sensor 4) as feedback, the pressure plate 17 or shear ring 18 is controlled to apply pressure to the soil; the second actuator 22 uses the real-time motion analog signal as a reference value, and the speed value ω of the aforementioned torque device is used as a reference value. f (Derived from the encoder built into the second servo motor 15) and torque value T f (Torque sensor 14) provides feedback to control the shear ring 18 to apply torque to the soil; simultaneously, it provides feedback on the velocity value v. f Pressure value p f Velocity value ω f Torque value T f All data are transmitted to the data acquisition system 23 for storage and recording.
