Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of soil mechanics testing equipment, and in particular to a test device and method for direct shear and repeated shear tests on coarse-grained soil. Background Technology

[0002] The working principle of the direct shear test apparatus is based on the direct shear test. Specifically, different vertical pressures are applied to the coarse-grained sample to achieve consolidation, and then a horizontal shear force is applied under the corresponding vertical stress conditions until the sample fails. In this way, the shear strength of the coarse-grained sample on a fixed shear plane can be directly measured, and then the internal friction angle and cohesion of the soil can be determined according to Coulomb's law.

[0003] The existing operating procedure is as follows: First, the lower shear box is suspended on the roller rack. A slit ring and steel balls are placed on the lower shear box to control the size of the shear slit. Then, the upper shear box is placed, ensuring concentricity between the upper and lower boxes and positioning them with fixing pins. The weighed sample is layered into the shear box, with each layer controlled to a predetermined height using methods such as compaction, vibration, or static pressure. A permeable plate and pressure plate are placed sequentially on the sample surface, ensuring alignment during installation. The pressure plate is leveled with a spirit level, and the upper and lower reaction steel beams are also kept horizontal. Two to four vertical dial indicators are installed, and the vertical drive shaft is slowly started until all components contact, at which point the initial deformation reading is recorded. A horizontal dial indicator or displacement gauge is installed, ensuring the force line of the horizontal drive shaft passes through the center of the shear surface. The horizontal drive shaft is then slowly started until it contacts the force point of the lower shear box and stops.

[0004] Taking the slow shear test as an example, an impermeable steel plate of the same thickness as the permeable plate is placed at the contact point between the upper and lower surfaces of the specimen. After applying a vertical load to the specimen, the specimen is considered to have completed the consolidation process under vertical pressure after 24 hours of consolidation. This state is maintained throughout the test. The fixing pins of the upper and lower shear boxes are removed and the slit ring is taken off. The readings of the vertical and horizontal force gauges, dial gauges, etc. are recorded. The horizontal drive shaft and stopwatch are started. When the shear stress reading reaches a stable state or shows a significant retreat, it indicates that the specimen has been sheared. If the shear stress reading continues to increase, the shear deformation needs to reach 60 mm or 1 / 15 to 1 / 10 of the specimen's side length. The reading of the load sensor or force gauge is recorded every 1 mm, and the vertical displacement reading is recorded as needed until the specimen is sheared. After the test, the dial gauge or displacement gauge, horizontal load, vertical load, and loading equipment are removed in time. The shear surface is briefly described as needed. At the same time, a specimen near the shear surface is taken to determine its moisture content and particle size distribution after shearing.

[0005] However, existing technologies have many obvious drawbacks: Firstly, large direct shear apparatuses obtain the shear strength of coarse aggregates by measuring the frictional force between soil and rock particles at the shear surface. During large direct shear tests, due to the large vertical load applied, the frictional force generated between the shear box and the base and upper pressure plate during shearing is usually difficult to ignore. However, this additional frictional force is not deducted when calculating the soil shear strength, resulting in the measured soil shear strength being greater than the actual value. Existing technologies have not yet been able to properly solve this problem (this invention effectively eliminates the error introduced by the frictional force of the test device itself by adding a sensor between the V-shaped bearing seat and the lower shear box above it, significantly improving the test accuracy).

[0006] Secondly, during the test, sample debris inevitably falls below the shear box. In addition, dust, sand and other impurities easily adhere to the surface of the rollers in the geotechnical laboratory environment, which can easily cause contamination of the roller surface. Once impurities enter the inside of the roller bearing, they can easily cause the roller to jam and run poorly, thus affecting the reliability of the test results. During long-term wear and tear, foreign objects that penetrate into the roller will accelerate the deterioration of the roller's performance, significantly shorten its service life and reduce the test accuracy (this invention avoids the inherent problems of traditional bearing solutions through a novel V-shaped bearing mechanism).

[0007] Thirdly, according to geotechnical testing specifications, the shear box needs to perform unidirectional and reciprocating motion during the direct shear test. However, existing direct shear testers place the lower shear box directly on the roller rack, making it difficult to effectively restrict other degrees of freedom besides the horizontal direction. If existing technology is used to restrict these degrees of freedom, it will further increase the friction between the lower shear box and the base (traveling parts and slide). If it is not restricted, it will lead to uneven normal pressure on coarse particle samples during the shearing process. (This invention, through the interlocking design of V-shaped guide rail and V-shaped bearing seat, not only reduces the friction between the traveling parts and the slide, improves the test accuracy and equipment service life, but also effectively restricts other degrees of freedom of the lower shear box besides the horizontal direction without adding extra sliding friction.)

[0019] The beneficial effects of the technical solution provided by this invention include at least the following: The friction detection and rolling mechanism of this technical solution outputs horizontal shearing force through a horizontal servo motor. The shearing force is deducted by a friction sensor from the additional friction generated by the rolling components, improving the reliability of the test data.

The conveying mechanism provides power and works with the motor to achieve automatic operation, reducing labor intensity and costs, and achieving a high degree of automation. The modular design of the shear box mechanism is easy to maintain and can replace sample loading boxes of different specifications and types, facilitating subsequent maintenance and improving experimental efficiency and resource utilization. The lifting foot mechanism is easy to install and does not require modification of the fixed floor. Attached Figure Description

[0052] Next, the test methods of the coarse-grained soil direct shear and repeated shear test equipment involved in the embodiments of the present invention will be described.

[0053] Step S1, Lower shear box installation: Tightly tighten the reinforcing tube 121 onto the lower base plate 110, place the wear-resistant plate 120 of the lower base plate inside the reinforcing tube 121 and ensure it fits snugly against the lower base plate 110; fix the lower wear-resistant plate 118 onto the lower shear box 117, hoist the lower shear box 117 onto the lower base plate 110, fix the adjusting threaded block 111 onto the lower base plate 110, adjust the adjusting screw 112 on the adjusting threaded block 111 to precisely align the lower shear box 117 to the reference position, and then firmly fix the lower shear box 117 onto the lower base plate 110 using the fixing plate 109; to prevent coarse particle samples from overflowing from the side during the consolidation test, install a barrier 122 and a sealing gasket 123 on the lower base plate 110, and install an overflow outlet 128 below it for consolidation drainage.

[0054] Step S2, Upper Shear Box Installation: Select a pad 105 of the appropriate height according to the sample requirements and fix it on the lower shear box 117. Then assemble the stacked plate 104 to the same height as the pad 105. Fix the upper wear-resistant plate 102 and the sliding seat 115 on the upper shear box 101. Rotate the rotary plunger 114 to slide the sliding shaft 116 to the lowest position and then rotate the rotary plunger 114 again to lock it. When hoisting the upper shear box 101, align the sliding shaft 116 with the guide seat 113 fixed on the lower shear box 117. Turn the reinforcing tube 121 over the upper shear box 101, insert the gap insert 108 between the upper and lower shear boxes, add the shim 106, and then rotate the mesh knob 107 to tighten it. Fix the lifting ring 103 on the lower base plate 110 for easy adjustment and transportation later.

[0055] Step S3, Placement and Fixing of Shear Box Mechanism: Place the shear box mechanism 1 in the coarse particle sample filling area to fill the coarse particle sample. Since the upper fitting guide rail 127 and guide block 126 are covered with lubricating oil, in order to avoid them directly contacting the ground and causing wear and dirt, the shear box mechanism 1 is raised by installing support angle iron 124 at the bottom; the backrest 125 is fixedly installed on the lower base plate 110, and the guide block 126 is pressed to enhance the stability during use; after the coarse particle sample is filled, the reinforcing tube 121 is tied at the wear-resistant plate 120 of the upper lower base plate, and the shear box mechanism 1 is hoisted onto the friction detection and rolling mechanism 2.

[0056] Step S4: Connecting and fixing the friction detection and rolling mechanism with the shear box mechanism: Engage the guide fixing block 201 and the lower fitting guide rail 203 with the guide block 126 and the upper fitting guide rail 127 on the shear box mechanism 1, respectively, and tighten the bolts on the guide fixing block 201 to fix the shear box mechanism 1 relative to the friction detection and rolling mechanism 2. To obtain the friction force generated during the shearing process, install a friction sensor 210 between the friction mounting base 209 of the upper mounting plate 202 and the lower mounting plate 208. After installation... The sealing plate 204 and sealing plate rubber gasket 205 are fixedly installed on the upper mounting plate 202 to enclose the operating space; to provide support during the consolidation process, a friction roller conveyor 222 is fixedly installed on the upper mounting plate 202, and a tensioning seat 217 and a friction bearing seat 218 are fixedly installed on the lower mounting plate 208. A friction bearing shaft 220 is fixedly installed inside the friction bearing seat 218, and a friction bearing 221 is fixed at its front end; to reduce the coefficient of friction, an oil nozzle 219 is installed on the friction bearing shaft 220, and the tensioning seat 217 is adjusted by... The bolts on plate 7 allow the friction bearing housing 218 to slide and the friction bearing 221 to contact the friction roller conveyor 222. To reduce environmental impact, a cloth cover pressure plate 206 and a dustproof cloth cover 207 are installed between the upper mounting plate 202 and the lower mounting plate 208 to isolate dust. A roller seat 216 and a roller bearing 215 are installed on the lower mounting plate 208 to facilitate friction detection and relative rolling of the rolling mechanism 2 on the conveying mechanism 3. The chain pull seat 225 is fixedly installed on the lower mounting plate 208 and connected to the chain 305 to lift... Provides horizontal traction force; to detect horizontal relative displacement, the magnetic head mounting plate 223, the anti-collision sensing block 226, and the proximity sensing plate 227 are fixed relative to each other on the lower mounting plate 208, and the magnetic head 224 is fixed on the magnetic head mounting plate 223 to obtain high-precision displacement data; the V-bearing seat 211 is fixed on the lower mounting plate 208, and the V-bearing shaft 212 is fixedly mounted on the V-bearing seat 211. The V-bearing 213 is fixed relative to the V-bearing shaft 212 by locking round nut 214 to provide guidance for shearing.

[0057] Step S5, Conveying Mechanism Operation and Positioning: Operate the conveying mechanism 3 to move the friction detection and rolling mechanism 2 to the shear box mechanism 1 to the loading area. The chain pull seat 225 is connected to the chain 305, and the chain 305 rolls relative to each other on the chain guide rail 307. The chain guide rail 307 is fixedly installed on the conveying pipe 304. The idler wheel lock plate 302 is fixedly installed on the conveying pipe 304 to lock the idler wheel shaft 301 and the relatively rolling toothless idler wheel 303. The toothless idler wheel 303 assists the chain 305 in rolling. Because the chain 305 is relatively long, it may rub against the conveying pipe 304 during movement. A top block 308 is provided in the middle of the conveying pipe 304. The top block 308 can make the idler wheel shaft 301 move upward, driving the toothless idler wheel 303 to lift the chain 305 away from the conveying pipe 304. The power of the chain 305 comes from the motor 323, which is fixed on the motor mounting plate 322. The motor mounting plate 322 is connected to the bearing seat mounting plate 311. The chain 305 is fixed to the conveying pipe 304 via reinforcing ribs 324. The tension of the chain 305 can be adjusted by bolts on the conveying pipe 304. The drive sprocket 320 and idler sprocket 310 are in direct contact with the chain 305. The drive shaft 321 passes through the bearing housing 312, the drive sprocket 320, and the spacer 319, and is fixed to the chain 305 via end caps 313. The proximity fixing sheet metal 315 is fixed to the conveying pipe 304, and the metal sensor 314 is fixed to the proximity fixing sheet metal 315 to detect whether the proximity sensing plate 227 has reached the corresponding position. The cover 316 provides protection for the running chain 305 to prevent personnel limbs and foreign objects from being caught in it. The roller bearing 215 rolls relative to the slide rail 309. The anti-collision block 317 on the slide rail 309 can prevent damage to the equipment due to exceeding the limit. The slide rail 309 and the conveying pipe 304 are fixed to the fixed bracket 318 by fixing angle iron 306, and the overall height can be adjusted according to the site requirements.

[0058] Step S6, Loading Mechanism Installation and Leveling: Install the lifting foot mechanism 4 below the horizontal loading mechanism 6 and the vertical loading mechanism 7. The shock-absorbing fixed chassis 41 contacts the fixed floor 5. Leveling is achieved by adjusting the lifting shaft 43 to control the lifting block 44. The locking ring 42 is tightened to fix the relative position of the lifting shaft 43. The fixing screw 45 is fixed on the lifting shaft 43. To reduce friction, a large shim 46 is placed in the middle, and the fixing is strengthened by the nut and washer. The horizontal loading mechanism 6 is fixed on the fixed floor 5 by the fixing screw 45. The fixing screw 45 passes through the push plate fixing seat 68 and is fixed by the nut and washer. The push plate 62 is fixed on the push plate fixing seat 68. The horizontal servo motor 61 is fixed on the push plate 62. The load mounting plate 63 is fixed on the output end of the horizontal servo motor 61. One end of the horizontal pressure sensor 64 is connected to the load mounting plate 63, and the other end is fixed to the mounting pin hole end 66 by the locking sleeve 65. One end of the connector 67 is fixed on the push plate fixing seat 68, and the other end is connected to the vertical loading mechanism 7.

[0059] Step S7, Consolidation Test Operation: The other end of the connector 67 is fixed to the vertical base 713, the pin seat 712 is fixed to the vertical base 713, the pin 711 is inserted into the pin hole of the pin seat 712, the V-shaped fitting guide rail 716, the horizontal displacement sensor 715, the magnetic rail 714 and the column 717 are all fixed to the vertical base 713; the conveying mechanism 3 drives the shear box mechanism 1 on the friction detection and rolling mechanism 2 into the interior of the vertical loading mechanism 7, and the roller bearing 215 disengages from the slide rail 3. 09. The V-bearing 213 and the V-shaped mating guide rail 716 begin to roll. The anti-collision sensing block 226 contacts the horizontal displacement sensor 715 to generate horizontal displacement data. The magnetic head 224 contacts the magnetic rail 714 to generate horizontal displacement data. Based on the reference horizontal displacement data, the shear box mechanism 1 is transported to the designated position. The conveying mechanism 3 stops transporting and switches to the consolidation test loading mode. The pin 711 is inserted between the pin hole end 66 and the fork pin seat 119. The support beam 710 is fixed to the two columns 717. Between them, the upper shear box 101 contacts and is relatively fixed to the support beam 710; the upper end of the column 717 is fixed to the crossbeam 703, and the crossbeam 703 is fixed to the vertical servo motor 701 and the vertical displacement sensor mounting plate 704. The vertical displacement sensor 702 is fixed to the vertical displacement sensor mounting plate 704. The upper plate of the consolidation load 705 is fixed to the output end of the vertical servo motor 701. The vertical pressure sensor 706 is installed between the upper plate of the consolidation load 705 and the lower plate of the consolidation load 707. The lower plate of the consolidation load 707 is relatively fixed to the pressure transmission plate 708. The pressure transmission wear-resistant plate 709 is fixed to the pressure transmission plate 708. The vertical servo motor 701 drives the pressure transmission plate 708 to apply the specified consolidation pressure. The vertical pressure sensor 706 outputs the vertical pressure value, and the vertical displacement sensor 702 outputs the vertical displacement. When the pressure value output by the vertical pressure sensor 706 is stably maintained at the specified consolidation pressure, and the vertical displacement output by the vertical displacement sensor 702 no longer changes within a certain period of time, the consolidation ends.

[0060] Step S8, Shearing Test Operation: The operator loosens the mesh knob 107 on the shear box mechanism 1, causing the pad 106 to fall off, removes the gap insert plate 108, rotates the rotating plunger 114 to pull the sliding shaft 116 to the upper position, and locks the rotating plunger 114 to disengage the sliding shaft 116 from the lower shear box 117; the horizontal servo motor 61 pushes the horizontal pressure sensor 64 forward, the horizontal pressure sensor 64 pushes the pin hole end 66, the pin hole end 66 pushes the fork pin seat 119, the fork pin seat 119 pushes the lower shear box 117, and the lower shear... Box 117 drives the upper mounting plate 202. The frictional force generated between the upper mounting plate 202 and the lower mounting plate 208 is jointly output by the friction sensor 210 and the horizontal servo motor 61. When the measured horizontal displacement reaches the threshold or the sample is sheared, the mechanism stops, the pin 711 is pulled out, and the conveying mechanism 3 is moved. After the proximity sensor plate 227 approaches the metal sensor 314, the conveying mechanism 3 stops moving, the bolts on the guide fixing block 201 are loosened, and the shearing box mechanism 1 is lifted to the cleaning area by the lifting ring 103. After cleaning, it is stored. It can be understood that the test operation of reciprocating shearing is to repeat the direct shearing operation.
