Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of subgrade testing, and particularly to a frost damage experimental device for a frozen soil subgrade structure under freeze-thaw cycles. Background Art
[0002] A frozen soil subgrade refers to a subgrade built on a foundation containing frozen soil. Frozen soil is soil or rock with a temperature below 0°C and containing ice. Under temperature changes, the frozen soil subgrade will experience frost heave and thaw settlement phenomena, posing challenges to the stability of the subgrade. Seasonal frozen soil will produce frost heave under the action of freeze-thaw cycles. As one of the adverse geological conditions, it is the main engineering geological feature in cold regions of our country. The soil in seasonal frozen soil areas undergoes at least one freeze-thaw cycle every year. This freeze-thaw will affect the engineering properties of the soil, such as physical properties like permeability, water content, and mechanical properties. These performance changes will cause subgrade settlement and road surface frost in the road surface system, seriously affecting the safe operation of the road. The change in subgrade water migration is the main cause of frost damage. Its essence is that the lower moisture migrates into the subgrade interior under the action of driving forces, and ice crystal penetration is formed under the influence of external negative temperature, resulting in frost heave of the upper soil and damaging the subgrade structure and infrastructure. Therefore, in order to control the frost heave and thaw settlement of the subgrade, reduce the frost damage of the subgrade, and timely reduce the water content of the subgrade, it is particularly important to hinder the migration of groundwater into the subgrade interior. Therefore, when building a subgrade on a foundation containing frozen soil, it is necessary to conduct experiments on the stability of the subgrade structure under freeze-thaw cycles. The existing frost damage experimental devices for frozen soil subgrade structures can only realize the stability of the subgrade under freeze-thaw cycles, but they cannot realize the stability of subgrades with different water contents under freeze-thaw cycles. Therefore, they cannot meet various numerical calculations before subgrade construction. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Embodiments
[0021] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer and more understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Embodiment 1
[0022] As Figures 1-6As shown in the figure, a frost damage experimental device for a frozen soil subgrade structure based on freeze-thaw cycles in this embodiment includes a bottom plate 1, on which a test area and a subgrade simulation area are provided. A test plate 3 is arranged in the test area. On the upper side of the test plate 3, there is a test hole 31, and the test hole 31 is a frustum-shaped hole. A sensor is arranged at the bottom of the test hole 31. The sensor is a prior art and will not be elaborated here, and it is used to measure the settlement value. The subgrade is simulated in the subgrade simulation area through freeze-thaw cycles, and then moved to the test area to test the simulated subgrade specimen. In this way, the sensor can be installed at a fixed position in the test area. After the subgrade specimen is moved to the test area, the position of the sensor and the subgrade specimen is the same each time, so that the test results will be more accurate.
[0023] A sliding plate 21 is arranged in the subgrade simulation area. The sliding plate 21 can reciprocally move along the sliding groove 13 on the bottom plate 1 through the sliding seat below it. The way to drive the sliding seat to move is a prior art and will not be elaborated here. On one side of the sliding plate 21, there is a freezing box 11, and on the other side, there is a melting box 12. The sliding plate 21 can slide into the freezing box 11 and the melting box 12 respectively when it slides to both sides. Electric doors are arranged on both the freezing box 11 and the melting box 12, and the electric doors are closed when the sliding plate 21 enters the freezing box 11 and the melting box 12, so that freeze-thaw cycles can be carried out in the freezing box 11 and the melting box 12.
[0024] A compaction device 6 is arranged on one side of the sliding plate 21. Subgrade materials are placed on the sliding plate 21, and the subgrade materials are compacted into a simulated subgrade 2 layer by layer through the compaction device 6. The compaction device 6 includes a track 61 fixed on the upper side of the bottom plate 1. A moving block 62 is slidably connected to the track 61. A guiding column 63 is installed on the upper side of the moving block 62. A guiding block 64 is slidably connected to the guiding column 63. One side of the guiding block 64 is rotatably connected to a compaction roller 65. A cross beam 66 is fixed to the guiding column 63. The structures for driving the moving block 62 and the guiding block 64 are prior arts and are not shown in the figure. A cross beam 66 is arranged on the guiding column 63. A water tank 67 is slidably connected to the cross beam 66. A water spraying pipe is arranged at the bottom of the water tank 67. The water tank 67 moves along the cross beam 66 through corresponding guiding sleeves. The way to drive the guiding sleeve to reciprocally move along the cross beam 66 is a prior art and will not be elaborated here, and it is not shown in the figure. The purpose of arranging the water tank 67 is to spray water in a specified area when compacting the subgrade materials, so that the moisture content of different positions of the simulated subgrade 2 is different, so that subgrade specimens with different water contents can be tested during the later test process.
[0025] On the upper side of the bottom plate 1, there is a cantilever device 4. The cantilever device 4 includes a column 41. The upper side of the column 41 is rotatably connected to a swing arm 42. A sliding sleeve 44 is slidably connected to the swing arm 42. A first electric push rod 45 is installed on the lower side of the sliding sleeve 44. A second electric push rod 43 is installed on the swing arm 42. The second electric push rod 43 is used to push the sliding sleeve 44 to reciprocate. A first electric push rod 45 is installed on the sliding sleeve 44. A sampling device 5 is installed at the lower end of the first electric push rod 45. The sampling device 5 can dig out a frustum-shaped sample downward on the simulated roadbed 2 and then put the frustum-shaped sample into the test hole 31. A pressure device 7 is installed on the bottom plate 1. The pressure device 7 can perform a pressure test on the sample. The pressure device 7 includes a vertical plate 71. One side of the vertical plate 71 is fixedly connected to a horizontal plate 72. A hydraulic cylinder 73 is installed on the horizontal plate 72. The lower end of the hydraulic cylinder 73 is equipped with a pressing plate 74. The frustum-shaped sample is subjected to a pressure test through the pressing plate 74, so as to test the stability of the roadbed sample. After the test is completed, the sample is taken out and discarded through the sampling device.
[0026] During use, when the roadbed simulation area enters the freezer 11 and then enters the thawing box 12, it is one freeze-thaw cycle. The roadbed simulation area can repeatedly enter the freezer 11 and the thawing box 12 to achieve multiple freeze-thaw cycles, so as to test the stability of the roadbed under multiple freeze-thaw cycles. The sampling device can extract samples at different positions in the roadbed simulation area. Therefore, when making the roadbed sample in the roadbed simulation area of the present invention, different amounts of water are directly added to different positions of the roadbed material, so that the moisture content of different positions of the roadbed is different. In this way, samples of the roadbed with different moisture contents can be taken in turn during the test, so as to test the stability of the roadbed under different moisture content states. Embodiment 2
[0027] On the basis of Embodiment 1, the sampling device 5 includes a motor 50. A plurality of mutually cooperating sampling components are fixedly connected to the main shaft of the motor 50.

The telescopic end of the rechargeable electric telescopic rod 54 is fixedly connected to an inserting knife 55. During sampling, the inserting knife 55 is driven by the rechargeable electric telescopic rod 54 to insert into the simulated roadbed. At the same time, the motor 50 drives the sampling component to rotate, so as to cut out a roadbed specimen. The sampling device 5 is moved upward. Since the inserting knife 55 is inclined, when moving upward, the roadbed specimen is just lifted by the inserting knife 55. A substrate 53 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the mounting block 52. A dovetail groove is provided on one side of the substrate 53. A dovetail slider is slidably connected in the dovetail groove. The dovetail slider is fixed to the upper end of the inserting knife 55. In this way, through the guiding of the dovetail slider and the dovetail groove, the stability of the inserting knife 55 can be improved, and the inserting knife 55 can be prevented from deforming. A cavity is provided in the substrate 53. A communication hole is provided in the dovetail groove. An electric spray head 56 is installed at the communication hole. Auxiliary mucus is contained in the cavity. When the roadbed specimen is placed into the test hole 31, the electric spray head 56 sprays the auxiliary mucus onto the inserting knife 55. The auxiliary mucus flows along the inserting knife 55 into the space between the test hole 31 and the roadbed specimen. The two are adhered together through the auxiliary mucus, preventing the roadbed specimen from shaking during the test. In this way, the accuracy of the test can be guaranteed to a certain extent.
