Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of sandstone-like material sample preparation technology, in particular to a sample preparation device for sandstone-like material testing. Background Art

[0002] To prepare sandstone-like materials, the following steps were followed: 1. First, a sodium glutamate solution was prepared in a ratio of 2:5 sodium glutamate crystals to water. After standing for 1 hour, solid impurities were filtered through filter paper to produce a saturated sodium glutamate solution. 2. The appropriate mass of water reducer was added to the saturated sodium glutamate solution and thoroughly stirred to dissolve. 3. Quartz sand, cement, gypsum, and talcum powder were mixed in a cement mortar mixer according to the designed proportions until the dry materials were uniformly mixed. 4. The saturated sodium glutamate solution containing the water reducer was poured into the mixer and continued stirring. The mixture was poured into a 50 × 100 mm stainless steel three-flap saturator in multiple layers. Each layer was compacted with 20 vibrations using a hammer. After demolding, the samples were immediately wrapped in plastic wrap, numbered, and placed in a standard curing chamber at a temperature of 20 ± 2°C and a humidity of ≥ 95% for 28 days to form standard specimens. Three replicate specimens were prepared for each test group, for a total of 48 specimens.

[0003] The traditional operation method is that after mixing and stirring, the mixed sample needs to be moved and poured into the saturator. When the mixed sample is taken out, part of the material adheres to the mixer, and when the sample is poured into the saturator, part of it adheres to the holding bucket, resulting in loss of the sample material after mixing. Currently, compaction is mostly done manually or with a handheld compaction device. This method can easily lead to loose bonding at the stratified interface, uneven sample density, and the sample is easily offset during the compaction process, resulting in uneven sample density.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] Please refer to the attached Figure 1-Figure 5 It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] The present invention proposes a sample preparation device for testing sandstone-like materials. Before use, the compacting plate 8 is in the lowest position, the lifting rod 11 is in a position separated from the round rod 10, the output end of the electric push rod 12 is in an extended state, the sealing door 16 blocks the discharge pipe 18, and a pair of arc-shaped clamping plates 7 are in a position with the farthest relative distance. When using this device, the required mixed solid raw materials are poured into the mixing box 4 in proportion (that is, quartz sand, cement, gypsum and talcum powder are poured into the mixing box 4 in a designed proportion), and a cover plate is placed on the inverted trapezoidal feed port to prevent solid powder from flying out during subsequent mixing. Start the motor 2 19 through the operation screen 1 (the start and adjustment of subsequent electrical components are controlled by the operation screen 1 by default), the motor 2 19 drives the stirring shaft 14 to rotate, the stirring shaft 14 drives a set of stirring rods and corresponding arc scrapers 15 to rotate, the arc scrapers 15 slide along the stirring box 4, the arc scrapers 15 scrape off the powder attached to the inner wall of the stirring box 4, and the powder is evenly stirred under the cooperation of the stirring rod and the arc scraper 15. After the solid powder is evenly mixed, turn off the motor 2 19, let it stand for a while to avoid the powder flying out when the cover is opened, and pour the evenly stirred liquid raw materials into the stirring box 4 (i.e. glutamic acid). The sodium glutamate solution is prepared by mixing sodium glutamate crystals with water in a ratio of 2:5. After standing for 1 hour, solid impurities are filtered out through filter paper to prepare a saturated sodium glutamate solution. Then, a water reducer of corresponding mass is added to the saturated sodium glutamate solution and fully stirred to dissolve). The cover is covered again and the motor 2 19 is started to stir and mix the solid raw materials and the liquid raw materials. During stirring, the motor 17 is started. The motor 17 drives the corresponding sprocket 13 to rotate. One sprocket 13 drives the other sprocket 13 to rotate through the chain 3. The rotation of the pair of sprockets 13 drives the chain 3 to slide. The chain 3 drives one end of the lifting rod 11 along a pair of arranged The plates slide along the trajectory of the chain 3 (the sliding trajectory of the chain 3 is that the lifting rod 11 slides upward when it is located on the side close to the round rod 10, and vice versa). When the lifting rod 11 slides upward through the bottom of the chain 3, the upper side of the lifting rod 11 fits the lower side of the round rod 10 and drives the round rod 10 to slide upward, and the round rod 10 drives a pair of guide rods 2 to slide upward, and the pair of guide rods 2 drives the compacting plate 8 to slide upward. When the lifting rod 11 drives the compacting plate 8 to slide to a position close to the highest position through the round rod 10 and the pair of guide rods 2 (that is, the lifting rod 11 slides to the position of the inflection point at the upper end of the sprocket 13), the motor 17 is turned off. Figure 1As shown, after lifting the compacting plate 8, put the bottom plate of the compacting barrel 9 into the compacting barrel 9, screw the inverted cone-shaped feed port on the upper end of the compacting barrel 9, place the compacting barrel 9 in the slot, push the compacting barrel 9 inward, fit it into the semicircular groove of the slot, start a pair of electric push rods 2 6, and the output ends of a pair of electric push rods 2 6 extend to drive the corresponding arc splints 7 to slide in the direction of approaching each other. When the output ends of a pair of electric push rods 2 6 are all extended, they are automatically closed. At this time, the opposite side of a pair of arc splints 7 is tightly fitted with the compacting barrel 9, fixing the compacting barrel 9 while ensuring that the compacting barrel 9 and the compacting plate 8 are in a concentric relationship. When the solid and liquid raw materials are evenly mixed, adjust the motor 2 19 to slow speed (so that a group of arc scrapers 15 will be attached to the mixing box 4 The mixture on the inner wall is scraped off to reduce the waste of the mixture), the electric push rod 12 is started, and the output end of the electric push rod 12 retracts to drive the sealing door 16 to slide downward. When the output end of the electric push rod 12 is fully retracted and closed, the mixed material falls into the compacting barrel 9 along the discharge pipe 18. After a part of the mixture falls in (about 1 / 5 of the mixture), the sealing door 16 is closed again, and the motor 17 is started. The sprocket 13 is adjusted to rotate 20 times. The motor 17 drives the lifting rod 11 to continue to slide. When the lifting rod 11 scrapes along the semicircular track above, the lifting rod 11 continues to drive the round rod 10 to slide upward until it is separated from the round rod 10. At this time, the compacting plate 8 slides downward rapidly under the action of its own gravity to compact the material once, such as Figure 2As shown, when the lifting rod 11 slides to the state of being in contact with the round rod 10 again, the compacting plate 8 is lifted again by the round rod 10 and a pair of guide rods 2. After the lifting rod 11 is separated from the round rod 10 again, the compacting plate 8 compacts the material for the second time, and so on, until the compacting plate 8 compacts the first layer of material 20 times, the motor 17 stops running, the sealing door 16 is opened again, the second layer of material is poured on the material compacted once, and the sealing door 16 is closed, and the motor 17 is started again. The two layers of material are compacted for the second time through the compacting plate 8 (still 20 times), and the mixture is poured into the compacting barrel 9 in multiple times. Each layer is compacted 20 times with the compacting plate 8. After all the mixed materials are compacted, the compacting plate 8 is raised to a position above the inverted frustum-shaped feed port, and a pair of electric push rods 6 are started again to unfasten the fixation of the compacting barrel 9, remove the compacting barrel 9, unscrew the inverted frustum-shaped feed port, turn the compacting barrel 9 upside down, and knock on the detachable The bottom plate is used to demould the material. The demoulded material is immediately wrapped with plastic wrap and numbered, and placed in a standard curing box with a temperature of (20 ± 2°C) and a humidity of ≥95% for curing for 28 days to form a standard sample. Three parallel samples are prepared for each test group, totaling 48 samples, and then density test, UCS test and penetration test are carried out. The present application adopts an integrated design of the mixing box 4 and the compacting structure. The mixed material can directly enter the compacting barrel 9 through the discharge pipe 18, and cooperate with a group of arc scrapers 15 to scrape off the material attached to the inner wall of the mixing box, reducing the adhesion loss of the material in the traditional manual transfer process. The compacting structure drives the chain 3 and the sprocket 13 mechanism through the motor 17 to drive the compacting plate 8 to move up and down, instead of manual compaction, so that the compaction force is more uniform, avoiding the problem of loose bonding at the layered interface. During the compaction process, the compacting barrel 9 is fixed by a pair of arc splints 7 to ensure that the mold is not displaced during the compaction process to avoid uneven density of the sample.

[0029] Although the present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, various modifications may be made thereto and equivalent components may be substituted without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, the various technical features described in the various embodiments may be combined in any manner as long as no structural conflicts exist.
