[0041] a. The mud in the mud area is transported to the funnel, filtered by the first screen, and falls into the funnel. When the mud liquid level in the funnel reaches the set scale, the transportation is stopped;

[0042] b. Open the funnel to open and close the electromagnetic ball valve, so that the mud in the funnel drips into the first volumetric bottle, and detects the dripping time through the capacitive proximity switch to calculate the mud viscosity;

[0043] c. After all the mud in the funnel is dripped into the first volumetric bottle, the weight of the first volumetric bottle is weighed by an electronic weighing instrument, and then the weight of the first volumetric bottle is subtracted to obtain the weight of the mud corresponding to the set scale. Then the mud volume is obtained by the scale on the first volumetric bottle to calculate the mud specific gravity;

[0047] g. Pour a set volume of water into the second volumetric flask, loosen the clamp ring, and let the second sieve and the particles fall into the second volumetric flask. The sand content of the mud can be calculated by subtracting the volume of the second sieve from the scale change of the second volumetric flask;

[0048] h. Rinse the funnel and use the first volumetric bottle to receive the rinsed material. After the rinsing is completed, disassemble the first and second volumetric bottles for cleaning and reset, ready for the next test.

[0049] The mud shield machine mud testing method provided by the invention is simple to operate and easy to implement.

[0050] In actual operation, it can be divided into the following three steps:

[0051] Step 1: When the mud in the storage tank reaches 700ml, the first electric ball valve opens, and the mud enters the funnel under the action of gravity. When it reaches 500ml, the funnel opening and closing electric ball valve opens, and the mud flows into the first volumetric bottle from the bottom. During this process, the proximity switch starts to work and measures the dripping time of 500ml of mud.

[0052] Step 2: After the mud flows into the first volume bottle through step 1, the electronic weighing instrument obtains the weight (note that the value of the electronic weighing instrument is zero before the mud flows in), and the mud specific gravity is calculated by the known data and the calculation formula (Formula 1: Mud density = mud weight (g) / mud volume (cm 3 )=ρ=m / v, Formula 2 (SG mud specific gravity = ρmud / ρwater) is calculated according to the actual weight and volume of the electronic weighing instrument, and the accuracy of the data is maintained during the process.

[0053] Step 3: After the mud passes through step 2, rotate the clamp ring and put it on the top of the first volumetric bottle. The slurry in the mixing barrel starts to stir while measuring the viscosity. When the viscosity and specific gravity are measured, open the fifth electric ball valve, and the mud flows into the first volumetric bottle. The second screen in the clamp ring filters the sand inside. After filtering, open the second electric ball valve to rinse it. After rinsing, rotate the clamp ring to the top of the second volumetric bottle, open the clamp ring, so that the second screen falls into the second volumetric bottle, then close the fifth electric ball valve and open the sixth electric ball valve, add a certain amount of clean water to the second volumetric bottle, precipitate, and then read the data to measure the percentage of the mud volume occupied by solid phase particles that cannot pass through 203 mesh or have a particle size greater than 0.074mm in the mud, keep the volumetric bottle still on the test bench, and collect data after the sand is precipitated. It should be noted that the measurement requires the removal of the volume occupied by the second screen in advance. At the same time, a certain amount of clean water can be added to the second volumetric bottle before opening the clamp ring to prevent the second screen from falling and damaging the second volumetric bottle.

[0054] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention, and their purpose is to enable people familiar with this technology to understand the contents of the present invention and implement them accordingly. They cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.

When the liquid level in the mixing barrel is below the lower liquid level probe, the third electric ball valve and the fourth electric ball valve are opened, and the mud in the mud area and the water in the water area flow into the mixing barrel under the action of their own weight. When the liquid level in the mixing barrel is above the upper liquid level probe, the third electric ball valve and the fourth electric ball valve are closed.

7.

When the liquid level gauge detects that the mud level in the mud area reaches a set value, the mud pump is turned off.

The slurry testing system for a slurry shield machine according to claim 1, characterized in that: The mud shield machine mud testing system also includes a control electric box, and the control electric box is electrically connected to the electronic weighing instrument, the laser tester, and the capacitive proximity switch.

10. A method for testing slurry of a slurry shield machine, using the slurry testing system of any one of claims 1 to 9, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: a. The mud in the mud area is transported to the funnel, filtered by the first screen, and falls into the funnel. When the mud liquid level in the funnel reaches the set scale, the transportation is stopped; b. Open the funnel to open and close the electromagnetic ball valve, so that the mud in the funnel drips into the first volumetric bottle, and detects the dripping time through the capacitive proximity switch to calculate the mud viscosity; c. After all the mud in the funnel is dripped into the first volumetric bottle, the weight of the first volumetric bottle is weighed by an electronic weighing instrument, and then the weight of the first volumetric bottle is subtracted to obtain the weight of the mud corresponding to the set scale. Then the mud volume is obtained by the scale on the first volumetric bottle to calculate the mud specific gravity; d. Rotate the clamp ring to move the second screen to the top of the first bottle; e. The mud in the mud area and the water in the water area are transported to the mixing barrel for stirring according to the set ratio. After the stirring is completed, the mud of the set volume in the mixing barrel is transported to the first volume bottle, filtered through the second screen and falls into the first volume bottle; f. The water in the water zone is transferred to the first volumetric bottle, and the particles on the second screen are rinsed. After rinsing, the clamp ring is rotated to move the second screen to the top of the bottle mouth of the second volumetric bottle; g. Pour a set volume of water into the second volumetric flask, loosen the clamp ring, and let the second sieve and the particles fall into the second volumetric flask. The sand content of the mud can be calculated by subtracting the volume of the second sieve from the scale change of the second volumetric flask; h. Rinse the funnel and use the first volumetric bottle to receive the rinsed material. After the rinsing is completed, disassemble the first and second volumetric bottles for cleaning and reset, ready for the next test.
