AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing technologies struggle to effectively reduce the cutting resistance of rake teeth when dealing with dense, fine-grained soils, especially "iron plate sand." This is primarily due to the failure to identify and effectively flush the shear dilatation zone, which increases the soil's shear strength and consequently, the cutting resistance.

Method used

An experimental system was designed, including a preparation subsystem, a cutting subsystem, a measurement subsystem, and a control subsystem. Through components such as vacuum pump suction, gas-water separation, vibration compaction, cutting connection device, and water pressure sensor, the pore water pressure during the cutting process of the cutting teeth is measured and controlled in real time to determine the range of the shear dilatation zone. High-pressure water flushing holes are set in the shear dilatation zone to reduce the effective stress of the soil.

Benefits of technology

By effectively determining the range of the dilatation zone, the soil shear strength can be reduced by actively replenishing water, thereby reducing the cutting resistance of the rake teeth and improving dredging efficiency.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a kind of experimental systems for determining the scope of dense fine-grained soil shear dilation zone and its use method. BACKGROUND

[0002] As the main ship in dredging industry, the trailing suction dredger plays an important role in all kinds of channel dredging, port construction and reclamation project. However, the seabed of main port and approach channel located in the long coastline is complex and changeable. The soil of dense and cemented silt and silty sand is often encountered, which has the characteristics of high density, low compressibility, high strength and large bearing capacity. It is as hard as "iron plate", so it is called "iron plate sand". The mean grain size is between 0.02 and 0.5 mm, the average natural density is between 1.8 and 1.95 g / m 3 , the relative density is more than 2 / 3, and the strength parameter has an average cohesion of 5-15 kPa in addition to the internal friction angle of more than 30°. The soil is between sand and clay in composition, so it has the characteristics of high strength and large bearing capacity, and the standard penetration blow count is generally more than 30 N.

[0003] Due to the above characteristics of the soil, the efficiency of the trailing suction dredger in dredging the soil is very low, and the progress is slow. For example, the "iron plate sand" in Huanghua Port of Hebei Province and the Yangtze River Estuary, the dredging concentration of the trailing suction dredger is generally very low, often less than 1.10 t / m 3 .

[0004] In view of the above situation, the relevant construction units and design departments propose the idea of high-pressure water flushing, that is, to open a hole in the middle of the rake teeth, and then to use water flow of 4-6 bar to assist in breaking the soil, but the effect is very limited.

[0005] Through research, it is found that the "iron plate sand" is difficult to dig because the soil has obvious shear dilation. During the cutting of the rake teeth, a certain range of shear dilation zone is formed on the rake teeth surface. The pore water pressure in the shear dilation zone is negative, which increases the effective stress of the soil, significantly improves the shear strength of the soil, and further increases the cutting resistance of the rake teeth. The main reason why the high-pressure water flushing has little effect on the "iron plate sand" is that the existence of the shear dilation zone is not recognized. Although the water flushing hole is set, the water is not injected into the shear dilation zone or the area with the strongest shear dilation, so the shear strength of the soil cannot be reduced, and the resistance reduction effect is very limited.

[0037] The use method of the experimental system for determining the range of the shear dilation zone of dense fine-grained soil is characterized in that the following steps are implemented:

[0038] S1. Soil preparation: the soil is put into the preparation pool, and the air in the soil in the preparation pool is sucked by a vacuum pump, first input into a gas-water separation tank through a separation gas supply pipe, and the water in the air is collected in the lower part of the gas-water separation tank to form a water body, the air separated from the water is discharged by the vacuum pump through a suction gas supply pipe, and the water tank is connected to the preparation pool through a water supply pipe at the bottom to input gas-free water into the preparation pool.

[0039] S2. Setting: In the maintenance mode, the control device controls the power system through the traction controller to implement zero position correction on the trolley and the steel wire rope respectively, the control device sets the cutting speed of the cutter tooth, the acquisition frequency of the force sensor and the acquisition frequency of the water pressure sensor through the parameter setting module, and powers on the frequency converter of the power system to make the frequency converter in a ready state, while ensuring that the brake and tensioning hydraulic pressure of the traction system are normal;

[0040] S3. Cutting: the cutting control module of the control device controls the power system, the angle adjusting hydraulic cylinder and the height adjusting hydraulic cylinder through the traction controller respectively, adjusts the cutting angle of the cutter tooth by driving the cutting connecting frame to rotate through the extension and retraction of the piston rod of the angle adjusting hydraulic cylinder, adjusts the height of the cutter tooth by driving the cutter tooth to move up and down through the extension and retraction of the piston rod of the height adjusting hydraulic cylinder, thereby adjusts the thickness of the cutter tooth cutting the soil, and the trolley moves along the track under the traction of the traction system, thereby driving the cutter tooth to linearly cut the soil at the set cutting speed;

[0041] S4. Measurement: the force sensor synchronously measures the cutting resistance at the set acquisition frequency, and the water pressure sensor synchronously measures the pore water pressure at the interface between the cutter tooth and the soil during the cutting of the soil at the set acquisition frequency;

[0042] S5. Acquisition: the acquisition control module of the control device receives and stores the cutting resistance value measured by the force sensor and the pore water pressure value measured by the water pressure sensor through the data acquisition instrument;

[0043] S6. Analysis: the data processing module of the control device determines the shear dilation zone range according to the received cutting resistance value and pore water pressure value, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0044] Firstly, mark the positions where the measured pore water pressure is positive with “+” and the positions where the measured pore water pressure is negative with “-”; secondly, for the adjacent regions with positive and negative values, perform difference processing to obtain the positions where the pore water pressure is 0; thirdly, plot the positions where the pore water pressure is 0 as data points on the tooth surface plane diagram of the cutter tooth; and finally, connect the points where the pore water pressure is 0 into a line, which is the demarcation line between the shear dilation zone and the non-shear dilation zone, and the region with negative pore water pressure value is the finally determined shear dilation zone range;

[0045] S7. Reset: stop the trolley to stop the cutting of the cutter tooth on the soil, and then make the trolley retreat to the initial zero position at the set speed.

[0046] The use method of the experimental system for determining the shear dilation zone range of dense fine-grained soil is characterized in that:

[0047] In step S1, the soil put into the preparation pool is dug from the construction site, and impurities (such as stones, garbage, branches, etc.) are removed to ensure the uniformity of the soil, and the indicators of the soil put into the preparation pool are kept consistent with the soil at the construction site;

[0048] In step S3, the moving speed of the cutter tooth when cutting the soil is not greater than 3 m / s, and the fluctuation amplitude of the moving speed is not greater than 5%. When cutting, the first 5 m is an acceleration section in which the speed increases from zero to the moving speed, and the last 5 m is a deceleration section in which the speed decreases from the moving speed to zero. The cutting section between the acceleration section and the deceleration section has a length not less than 30 m.

[0049] In step S5, the acquisition control module of the control device acquires the cutting resistance value measured by the force sensor and the pore water pressure value measured by the pore water pressure sensor at a frequency of once per 1 mm of operation of the cutter tooth.

[0050] In order to eliminate the shear dilatancy effect of the soil, thereby reducing the shear strength of the soil and further reducing the cutting resistance of the rake tooth, it is necessary to develop a related experimental system to truly reproduce the actual process of the rake tooth cutting the soil at the construction site, carry out a series of model experiments through the experimental system, determine the distribution of the negative pore water pressure along the tooth surface during the cutting process of the soil, and determine the distribution range of the shear dilatation zone along the rake tooth surface from the experimental results.

[0051] In the cutting process of the dense fine-grained soil under undrained conditions, negative pore water pressure is generated due to the shear dilatation of the soil. Therefore, the pore water pressure data automatically stored by the data acquisition instrument is arranged, and the range of the shear dilatation zone is determined according to the area corresponding to the negative pore water pressure measured by each pore water pressure sensor embedded in the tooth surface of the cutter tooth.

[0052] The present application aims at the common problems in the current "iron plate sand" dredging construction. Firstly, a soil preparation subsystem with parameters equivalent to those of the site soil is proposed to restore the soil quality at the construction site, and the main indicators can all reach the indicator range of "iron plate sand". Secondly, a cutting subsystem is proposed to reproduce the actual situation of the rake tooth cutting the soil, including the cutting speed, cutting angle, and soil cutting thickness, which can all be consistent with the site. Thirdly, a measurement subsystem is proposed to measure the pore water pressure value generated during the cutting process of the rake tooth, and to store it in real time, providing a data source for the determination of the shear dilatation zone. In addition, a control subsystem is proposed to realize the automatic control of the cutting process of the rake tooth, and to ensure its accuracy.

[0053] The application can truly reproduce the actual process of tooth cutting soil in the construction site, and a series of model experiments are carried out through the experimental system to measure the distribution of negative pore water pressure along the tooth surface, and the distribution range of the shear dilation zone along the tooth surface in the soil cutting process is determined according to the experimental results, which further provides a basis for actively supplementing water to the shear dilation zone to reduce the shear dilation effect and thus reduce the cutting resistance of the tooth.

[0054] The application is suitable for dense silt and silty sand with relative density greater than 2 / 3 and standard penetration number greater than 30N, i.e. the soil commonly known as "iron plate sand", which shows shear dilation when the soil needs to be cut by the tooth.

[0055] The application is suitable for dredging engineering, and is used for determining the range of the shear dilation zone formed on the tooth surface in the dredging process of dense fine-grained soil, and providing a basis for actively supplementing water to the shear dilation zone to reduce the shear dilation effect and thus reduce the cutting resistance of the tooth.

[0056] The application can simulate different soil qualities in the construction site, simulate the actual situation of the prototype tooth cutting soil, and simultaneously perform real-time measurement of the pore water pressure and real-time collection of experimental data.

[0057] The application has the following beneficial effects: close to the engineering practice, high integration degree, remote automatic control, real-time display and automatic saving of data. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0160] ​S3. Cutting: the cutting control module of the control device 43 controls the power system 292, the angle adjusting hydraulic cylinder 25 and the height adjusting hydraulic cylinder 26 through the traction controller 293 respectively, controls the cutting connecting frame 242 to rotate through the extension and retraction of the piston rod of the angle adjusting hydraulic cylinder 25 to adjust the cutting angle of the cutter tooth 21, controls the cutter tooth 21 to move up and down through the extension and retraction of the piston rod of the height adjusting hydraulic cylinder 26 to adjust the height of the cutter tooth 21, thereby adjusting the thickness of the soil body 5 cut by the cutter tooth 21, and the trolley 27 moves along the track 28 under the traction of the traction system 29, thereby driving the cutter tooth 21 to linearly cut the soil body 5 at a set cutting speed;

[0162]

[0163] S5. Acquisition: the acquisition control module of the control device 43 receives and stores the cutting resistance value measured by the force sensor 23 and the pore water pressure value measured by the water pressure sensor 33 at a frequency of once per 1 mm of running of the cutter tooth 21 through the data acquisition instrument 41;

[0164] S6. Analysis: the data processing module of the control device 43 determines the shear dilation zone range according to the received cutting resistance value and pore water pressure value, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0165] Firstly, the positions where the measured pore water pressure is positive are marked with "+" and the positions where the measured pore water pressure is negative are marked with "-"; secondly, for the regions adjacent to the positive and negative values, the difference is processed to obtain the positions where the pore water pressure is 0; thirdly, the positions where the pore water pressure is 0 are plotted as data points on the plan view of the tooth surface 211 of the cutter tooth 21; and finally, the points where the pore water pressure is 0 are connected into a line, which is the boundary line between the shear dilation zone and the non-shear dilation zone, and the region where the pore water pressure value is negative is the finally determined shear dilation zone range;

[0166] S7. Reset: the trolley 27 is stopped to stop the cutting of the soil body 5 by the cutter tooth 21, and then the trolley 27 is retreated to the initial zero position at a set speed.

[0167] In the above steps, S2-S7 are as shown in Figure 13

[0168] ​​The specific method and process of the above difference processing are as follows:

[0169] Using the present embodiment, for fine sand with a standard penetration hammer number N of 32, under the working conditions of a cutting angle a = 45°, a cutting speed v = 0.5 m / s, and a cutting thickness h = 0.1 m, the pore pressure values of the cutting tooth 21 surface collected are shown in Table 1, and the shear dilation zone range determined is shown in Figure 14 Figure 14 The shear dilation zone is shown in the middle SD.

[0170] Table 1 shows that the measured pore water pressure values are basically symmetrical along the central axis of the cutting tooth 21, and the pore pressure values gradually change from negative to positive from the tooth tip to the tooth seat 22 of the cutting tooth 21. According to the related theory of soil mechanics, saturated dense fine-grained soil will dilate when subjected to shear (cutting), which is macroscopically manifested as a negative pore water pressure value. According to the principle of effective stress, the generation of negative pore pressure will increase the effective stress, thereby making the soil more difficult to shear (cut) and excavate. Compared with other positions, the negative pore water pressure values at the central axis and the tooth tip are the largest, indicating that the soil at these positions has the strongest dilatancy.

[0171] Figure 14 It is shown that the shear dilation zone does not exist on the entire tooth surface 211 of the cutting tooth 21, but mainly exists in the lower half of the cutting tooth 21 and near the position close to the central axis of the cutting tooth 21. The shear dilation zone is in the shape of a sharp cone and is basically symmetrical along the central axis of the cutting tooth 21.

Acquisition: The acquisition control module of the control device (43) receives and stores the cutting resistance value measured by the force sensor (23) and the pore water pressure value measured by the water pressure sensor (33) through the data acquisition instrument (41); S6. Analysis: The data processing module of the control device (43) determines the shear dilation zone range according to the received cutting resistance value and pore water pressure value, and the specific steps are as follows: Firstly, mark the positions where the measured pore water pressure is positive with "+" and the positions where the measured pore water pressure is negative with "-"; secondly, for the adjacent regions of positive and negative values, difference processing is performed to obtain the positions where the pore water pressure is zero; Then, plot the positions where the pore water pressure is zero as data points on the tooth surface (211) plane of the blade teeth (21); Finally, connect the points where the pore water pressure is zero to form a line, which is the boundary line between the shear dilation zone and the non-shear dilation zone, and the region where the pore water pressure value is negative is the finally determined shear dilation zone range; S7. Reset: The control device (43) controls the power system (292) through the traction controller (293) to stop the operation of the trolley (27) to stop the cutting of the blade teeth (21) on the soil body (5), and the piston rods of the angle adjusting hydraulic cylinder (25) and the height adjusting hydraulic cylinder (26) are retracted, and then the control device (43) controls the power system (292) through the traction controller (293) to retreat the trolley (27) to the initial zero position at a set speed.
