Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of loess dry-wet cycle testing, and in particular to a device and method for sandy loess dry-wet cycle testing. Background Art

[0002] Sandy loess refers to loess soil with a high sand content. It is between typical loess and sandy soil, containing a large amount of silt and a certain proportion of fine sand or medium sand. It has poor self-weight compaction and a mostly single-grain or weak structure. After immersion in water, the structure quickly deteriorates and is prone to geological disasters such as collapse and landslides. In engineering practice, projects such as highways, railway roadbeds, slope support, and building foundations often involve sandy loess, and its stability has a significant impact on project safety. Under natural conditions, sandy loess is frequently subjected to environmental influences such as rainfall and evaporation, and is in a state of alternating dryness and wetness for a long time, resulting in significant changes in the internal structure, strength, and physical and mechanical properties of the soil. Water intrusion causes the cementation between particles to break down, and new microcracks form during drying. With the increase in the number of dry-wet cycles, the shear strength gradually decreases. Each cycle may lead to irreversible deformation, ultimately causing foundation settlement or slope instability. Therefore, studying the physical and mechanical changes of sandy loess during the dry-wet cycle is of great significance for predicting its engineering stability.

[0003] The moisture content of sandy loess directly affects its mechanical properties. Changes in soil moisture content are closely related to soil strength, compaction, cohesion, and stability. Therefore, existing sandy loess wet-dry cycle testing machines generally determine the mechanical properties of loess samples by repeatedly soaking and drying them and measuring the changes in their moisture content. However, soaking and drying the loess in sequence often takes a lot of time, resulting in low experimental efficiency. Summary of the Invention

When the loess sample is sprayed through the nozzle 402, the water level in the water supply tank 401 is high at the beginning, and the float 422 floats up. Under the action of buoyancy, the plug 420 is driven to move upward. The plug 420 will not block the water outlet hole 418, so water enters the nozzle 402 from the water outlet hole 418.

Under the action of buoyancy, the plug 420 is driven to move upward. The plug 420 does not block the water outlet 418, so water enters the nozzle 402 from the water outlet 418. At this time, the water flow is large. As the water level in the water supply tank 401 gradually decreases, the float 422 gradually decreases, and the first spring 423 resets, driving the plug 420 to close the water outlet 418. At this time, water enters the nozzle 402 from the drainage hole 424, and the water flow is small, and the loess sample begins to be drip-irrigated to ensure that the loess sample fully absorbs moisture.

The guide rod 505 is slidingly connected to the sealing ring 503, and a second spring 506 is sleeved on the surface of the guide rod 505. One end of the second spring 506 is fixedly connected to the mounting ring 504, and the other end of the second spring 506 is fixedly connected to the sealing ring 503, which is used to drive the sealing ring 503 to move downward and close the filter hole 502.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, when the first motor 305 drives the sample tube 303 to rotate to the bottom of the nozzle 402, under the action of the second spring 506, the sealing ring 503 is driven to move downward to seal the filter hole 502. When the first motor 305 drives the sample tube 303 to rotate to the bottom of the hot air blower 501, the loess sample is dried by the hot air blower 501, and at this time the second convex ring 508 drives the push rod 507 to move upward, driving the sealing ring 503 to move upward synchronously, canceling the closure of the filter hole 502, and the water in the loess sample can be discharged synchronously from the filter hole 502, thereby improving the drying efficiency.

[0032] Specifically, the working principle of the sandy loess dry-wet cycle test device and method is as follows: when in use, the loess sample is placed in two sample tubes 303, and the sample tubes 303 are placed in the test bench 302 in turn. The test bench 302 can be driven to rotate by the first motor 305, thereby converting the two sample tubes 303. When the sample tube 303 rotates to the bottom of the bracket 306, the moisture tester 308 can be driven to descend by the telescopic rod 307 and inserted into the loess sample to detect its moisture content. This can realize alternating detection of loess samples and improve detection efficiency.

[0033] When the first motor 305 drives the sample tube 303 to rotate to the bottom of the nozzle 402, the second shaft 408 is moved by the first convex ring 411 to the surface of the gravity sensor 412, pushing the bottom plate 405 upward, lifting the loess sample in the sample tube 303, and transferring the weight of the loess sample from the second shaft 408 to the surface of the gravity sensor 412, realizing the gravity detection of the loess sample, and controlling the pumping amount of the water pump 404 according to its weight, to ensure that the loess sample can be fully wetted, and when the contact block 409 moves to the surface of the gravity sensor 412, the first gear 414 meshes with the second gear 416, and controls the second motor 417 to drive the third shaft 415 to rotate, thereby driving the crushing knife 413 to rotate, The soil sample is crushed to help the water be more evenly distributed in the loess sample. In addition, when the loess sample is sprayed through the nozzle 402, the water level in the water supply tank 401 is high at the beginning, and the float 422 floats up. Under the action of buoyancy, the plug 420 is driven to move upward. The plug 420 will not block the water outlet 418, so water enters the nozzle 402 from the water outlet 418. At this time, the water flow is large. As the water level in the water supply tank 401 gradually drops, the float 422 gradually decreases, and the first spring 423 resets, driving the plug 420 to close the water outlet 418. At this time, water enters the nozzle 402 from the drainage hole 424, and the water flow is small, and the loess sample begins to be drip-irrigated to ensure that the loess sample fully absorbs water.

[0034] When the first motor 305 drives the sample tube 303 to rotate to the bottom of the nozzle 402, under the action of the second spring 506, the sealing ring 503 is driven to move downward to seal the filter hole 502. When the first motor 305 drives the sample tube 303 to rotate to the bottom of the hot air blower 501, the loess sample is dried by the hot air blower 501, and at this time the second convex ring 508 drives the push rod 507 to move upward, driving the sealing ring 503 to move upward synchronously, canceling the closure of the filter hole 502, and the water in the loess sample can be discharged from the filter hole 502 synchronously, thereby improving the drying efficiency.
