Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the drill pipe provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the drill pipe structure provided in an embodiment of the present invention.
[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a geotechnical testing device and method for highway engineering geological exploration, including: a mobile frame 1 and a sampling component 2, a pressure detection component 3, and a moisture content detection component 4 connected thereto. A transfer component 5 for transferring samples is provided between the sampling component 2, the pressure detection component 3, and the moisture content detection component 4. The sampling component 2 is rotatably connected to the mobile frame 1 via a rotary table 11. The sampling component 2 includes: a sampling cylinder 21, a drill rod 22, and a linear motion component 23. The sampling cylinder 21 is fixed inside the drill rod 22, and the linear motion component 23 drives... The drill rod 22 reciprocates along its axial direction; the transfer assembly 5 includes: a transfer table 51 and a slide rail element 52. The transfer table 51 is connected to the slide rail element 52. The first end of the slide rail element 52 is located within the rotation trajectory range of the rotary table 11, so that when the rotary table 11 drives the sampling assembly 2 to rotate, the sample can be directly transferred to the transfer table 51. The second end passes through the pressure detection assembly and the moisture content detection assembly 4 in sequence. The section from the pressure detection assembly to the moisture content detection assembly 4 in the slide rail element 52 is arranged at an inclination. The moisture content detection assembly 4 is lower than the pressure detection assembly 3 in the vertical position.
[0036] This invention mainly consists of a mobile frame 1, a sampling component 2, a pressure detection component 3, a moisture content detection component 4, and a transfer component 5. It enables automated collection, transfer, and multi-parameter detection of soil and rock samples, significantly improving the efficiency and accuracy of engineering geological exploration. The core principle lies in reducing manual intervention through mechanical linkage and modular layout, ensuring sample integrity during the testing process, and meeting the operational needs of complex field environments. Structurally, the mobile frame 1 serves as the platform for the entire device, possessing excellent mobility and stability, suitable for exploration sites with varying terrains. The sampling component 2 is connected to the frame via a rotary table 11 and includes a sampling cylinder 21, a drill rod 22, and a linear motion component 23. The linear motion component 23 drives the drill rod 22 to reciprocate axially, achieving vertical drilling and sampling of soil and rock. After sampling, the rotary table 11 rotates the sampling component 2, directly unloading the sample onto the transfer platform 51 of the transfer component 5, avoiding sample disturbance or damage that may occur with traditional manual transfer. The transfer assembly 5 consists of a transfer platform 51 and a slide rail element 52. The slide of the slide rail element 52 is connected to the transfer platform 51. Its first end is located within the rotation trajectory of the rotary table 11, ensuring accurate unloading of the sampling assembly 2. The second end passes sequentially through the pressure detection assembly 3 and the moisture content detection assembly 4, forming a complete testing pipeline. The working principle of this device follows an efficient and continuous operation process. First, the sampling assembly 2 completes the drilling of the soil and rock sample under the drive of the linear motion assembly 23. Then, the rotary table 11 rotates, transferring the sample to the transfer platform 51. The transfer platform 51 moves along the slide rail, first reaching the pressure detection assembly 3 for testing the compressive strength or penetration resistance of the soil and rock. After the test is completed, the sample continues to move along the slide rail. Because the slide rail is inclined between the pressure detection assembly 3 and the moisture content detection assembly 4, and the vertical position of the moisture content detection assembly 4 is relatively low, the sample can automatically slide into the moisture content detection area by gravity for moisture content analysis such as drying and weighing or sensor measurement. The entire process requires no manual handling, improving both testing speed and data accuracy. The integrated design seamlessly connects sampling, pressure testing, and moisture content testing, reducing sample transfer time and human error between different testing stages, making it particularly suitable for large-scale engineering survey projects. The rotation table 11 and the sliding rails enable precise sample transfer, avoiding sample structure damage caused by multiple handling in traditional methods and ensuring the reliability of the test data. The inclined sliding rail section utilizes gravity to transport samples, reducing energy consumption and mechanical complexity. The design of the mobile frame 1 enhances the adaptability of the device, enabling stable operation under various terrain conditions and meeting the needs of field surveys. Furthermore, the standardized operating procedures of this device reduce personnel training costs and improve the overall efficiency of engineering surveys.
[0037] Optional, see reference Figure 1The linear motion assembly 23 includes a ball screw pair, which is vertically rotatably connected to the rotary table 11, and the nut of the ball screw pair is fixedly connected to the drill rod 22.
[0038] The ball screw assembly is vertically mounted on the rotary table 11 via bearings, with its nut rigidly connected to the drill rod 22. When the drive motor rotates the screw through a coupling, the nut drives the drill rod 22 to make precise linear movements in the vertical direction, thereby controlling the drilling and lifting actions of the sampling cylinder 21. The transmission accuracy of the ball screw assembly ensures the verticality and stability of the drill rod 22's movement, effectively avoiding skewness during sampling. This is crucial for maintaining the original structure and integrity of the soil and rock samples. High transmission efficiency and extremely low friction coefficient not only reduce energy consumption but also ensure smooth and reliable drilling operations under various geological conditions. The compact structural design perfectly fits the space constraints of the rotary table 11, while sealing treatment enhances durability in harsh field environments. It can be used with servo motors and encoders to achieve closed-loop control of drilling speed and pressure, providing a hardware foundation for intelligent sampling. Compared to traditional hydraulic or rack and pinion drives, this ball screw pair design offers significant advantages in accuracy, efficiency, and reliability. It can adapt to diverse geological conditions, ranging from soft soil to hard rock, and ensures consistent sample quality, providing reliable sample assurance for subsequent pressure and moisture content testing. This innovative design fully demonstrates the advanced technology of this device in the field of engineering geological exploration and serves as a crucial technical support for achieving automated, high-precision geotechnical testing.
[0039] Optional, see reference Figure 1 The pressure detection component 3 includes: a first hydraulic cylinder 31, a pressure plate 32 and a first pressure sensor 33. The cylinder body of the first hydraulic cylinder 31 is fixed above the mobile frame 1. The pressure plate 32 is connected to the piston rod end of the first hydraulic cylinder 31. The pressure plate 32 faces the slide rail of the slide rail element 52. The first pressure sensor 33 is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 32.
[0040] In this embodiment of the invention, the pressure detection component 3 consists of a first hydraulic cylinder 31, a pressure plate 32, and a first pressure sensor 33. The cylinder body of the first hydraulic cylinder 31 is fixed above the moving frame 1, and the end of its piston rod is connected to the pressure plate 32. The pressure plate 32 is arranged directly opposite the slide rail of the slide rail element 52, and the first pressure sensor 33 is integrated and installed on the pressure plate 32. The working principle of this component is as follows: when the transfer platform 51 transports the soil sample to the detection position, the first hydraulic cylinder 31 drives the pressure plate 32 to move downward, applying vertical pressure to the sample. At this time, the first pressure sensor 33 monitors and records the pressure data in real time. By measuring the deformation characteristics or compressive strength of the soil sample during the compression process, accurate mechanical performance parameters are obtained. The hydraulic system provides stable and precisely controllable pressure output, ensuring the reliability of the testing process. The pressure sensor, directly integrated into the pressure plate 32, provides real-time force data feedback, avoiding errors that may occur with traditional indirect measurement methods. The compact structure seamlessly integrates with the slide rail element 52, achieving a high degree of automation in the testing process. The large stroke of the hydraulic cylinder adapts to the testing needs of samples of different sizes, while the robust mechanical structure design ensures long-term stable operation in complex field environments. This pressure testing solution not only improves testing efficiency and accuracy but also completely records the stress-strain curves of soil and rock samples, providing more comprehensive data support for engineering geological assessment and fully demonstrating the technological advancement of this device in the field of soil and rock mechanics testing.
[0041] Optional, see reference Figure 2 The moisture content detection component 4 includes: a drying box 41, a weighing platform 42 and a weighing sensor 43. The drying box 41 is fixed on the weighing platform 42. The weighing sensor 43 is fixed at the bottom of the weighing platform 42. The upper end of the drying box 41 has a feed inlet located below the second end of the slide rail element 52. The weighing sensor 43 is a high temperature sensor.
[0042] The moisture content detection component 4 in this embodiment of the invention mainly consists of a drying chamber 41, a weighing platform 42, and a weighing sensor 43. The drying chamber 41 is fixedly installed above the weighing platform 42, and a special high-temperature weighing sensor 43 is configured at the bottom of the weighing platform 42. The feed inlet at the top of the drying chamber 41 is precisely aligned below the second end of the slide rail element 52, ensuring that the soil sample can smoothly slide into the detection area. The working principle of this component is as follows: when the soil sample automatically slides into the drying chamber 41 via the inclined slide rail, the drying chamber 41 heats the sample at a constant temperature to evaporate moisture. During this process, the high-temperature weighing sensor 43 continuously monitors the mass change of the sample, and accurately calculates the moisture content data based on the mass difference before and after drying. Employing an integrated drying and weighing structure, this system achieves a fully automated detection process from sample reception to moisture content calculation, significantly improving work efficiency. The specially selected high-temperature weighing sensor 43 operates stably in the drying environment, solving the technical challenge of accuracy degradation in traditional sensors at high temperatures. The precise alignment design of the drying chamber 41 and the slide rail ensures non-destructive sample transfer, avoiding errors that may arise from manual operation. The modular design of this component facilitates maintenance and calibration, while the enclosed drying environment guarantees the safety of the detection process. This moisture content detection solution not only boasts high measurement accuracy and repeatability but also completely avoids the use of chemical reagents, making it more environmentally friendly and reliable. It is particularly suitable for the rapid on-site testing needs of field engineering surveys, fully demonstrating the technological innovation advantages of this device in the testing of geotechnical physical properties.
[0043] Optional, see reference Figure 4 A booster element 211 is fixed inside the sampling cylinder 21. The booster element 211 includes a second hydraulic cylinder 2111 and a pusher plate 2112. The cylinder body of the second hydraulic cylinder 2111 is fixed to the inner wall of the sampling cylinder 21. The pusher plate 2112 is connected to the piston rod end of the second hydraulic cylinder 2111. The outline of the pusher plate 2112 is adapted to the cross section of the inner cavity of the sampling cylinder 21.
[0044] In this embodiment of the invention, a hydraulic booster element 211 is integrated inside the sampling cylinder 21. The booster element 211 consists of a second hydraulic cylinder 2111 and a pusher plate 2112. The cylinder body of the second hydraulic cylinder 2111 is fixed on the inner wall of the sampling cylinder 21, and the piston rod end is connected to the pusher plate 2112, which is perfectly matched with the cross-section of the inner cavity of the sampling cylinder 21. After the sampling tube 21 completes the soil and rock sampling, the second hydraulic cylinder 2111 drives the push plate 2112 to move along the axial direction of the sampling tube 21, smoothly and completely pushing out the sample inside the tube. This ensures that the sample maintains its original structure and layers during the transfer process. The hydraulically driven push plate 2112 can provide a uniform and stable pushing force, avoiding sample disturbance or deformation caused by mechanical squeezing. It is particularly suitable for maintaining the original state of loose soil samples or layered rock samples. The precise fit design between the push plate 2112 and the inner cavity of the sampling tube 21 ensures the smoothness of the pushing process and effectively prevents soil sample residue, improving the sampling integrity rate. The pusher element 211 has a compact structure, does not occupy extra space, and is completely built into the sampling tube 21. It does not affect the normal sampling operation and can achieve rapid sample unloading. The controllability of the hydraulic system allows the pushing speed and force to be adjusted according to different soil types, significantly improving the adaptability of the device to different working conditions.
[0045] Optional, see reference Figure 5 The outer wall of the drill rod 22 is spirally provided with a slag discharge groove 221. The spiral line of the slag discharge groove 221 is at an angle of 30° with the axis of the drill bit. The slag discharge groove 221 is a trapezoidal groove.
[0046] In this embodiment of the invention, a slag removal structure is designed on the outer wall of the drill rod 22, with a spiral trapezoidal slag removal groove 221 forming a 30° angle between the drill bit axis and the groove. During drilling and sampling, the rotation of the drill rod 22 drives the slag removal groove 221 to form a spiral conveying effect. Under the centrifugal force and the guiding action of the groove, the rock cuttings generated by drilling are continuously discharged upward along the 30° inclined trapezoidal groove, effectively preventing the accumulation of drill cuttings in the hole. The 30° helix angle ensures smooth cuttings discharge without excessively increasing rotational resistance. Compared to traditional rectangular grooves, the trapezoidal groove cross-section structure has higher structural strength and can withstand greater torsional loads. At the same time, its gradually changing groove wall angle is more conducive to the flow of cuttings and prevents slag jamming. Furthermore, the helical slag discharge and the rotation of the drill rod 22 work together to achieve real-time and continuous automatic slag removal during drilling, which significantly improves drilling efficiency. It is particularly suitable for operation in conditions prone to drilling blockage, such as cohesive soil or fractured rock formations. This integrated slag discharge design does not require an additional power unit; slag discharge can be completed by the rotation of the drill rod 22 itself, which simplifies the structure and improves reliability.
[0047] Optional, see reference Figure 3 The drill rod 22 is connected to a second pressure sensor 222 at the drilling end. The second pressure sensor 222 is used to detect the rock and soil resistance during the drilling process.
[0048] In this embodiment of the invention, a second pressure sensor 222 is integrated into the connection point of the drill rod 22 during drilling to monitor changes in axial resistance in real time during the drilling process. During drilling, the second pressure sensor 222, based on the strain detection principle, converts the dynamic resistance generated by the interaction between the drill bit and the soil layer into an electrical signal output, providing real-time feedback of drilling pressure data. Firstly, by monitoring drilling resistance in real time, operators can accurately determine the hardness changes and stratification of the underground soil layer, enabling immediate analysis of geological conditions. The sensor data can be linked with the control system to automatically adjust the drilling speed and downward pressure. When encountering hard rock layers, the feed rate is reduced to protect the drill bit, while efficiency is improved in soft soil layers, achieving intelligent adaptive drilling. The sensor, directly installed at the drill end, can acquire the most accurate raw data, avoiding signal attenuation and error interference present in traditional indirect measurement methods. This design provides quantitative evidence for geological exploration; by analyzing the resistance curve, different geological interfaces can be accurately identified, significantly improving the accuracy and reliability of exploration data.
[0049] Optional, see reference Figure 1 It also includes a camera 6, which is fixed to the mobile frame 1 by a gimbal 61. The camera 6 is aimed at the sample bearing surface of the transfer table 51, and its field of view covers the entire area of the sample bearing surface.
[0050] In this embodiment of the invention, a high-definition camera 6 is securely mounted on a mobile frame 1 using a gimbal 61. Its lens is precisely aligned with the sample-bearing surface of the transfer platform 51, and its wide-angle lens design ensures complete coverage of the entire surface area. Throughout the transport and testing of soil and rock samples, the camera 6 continuously captures real-time images of the samples. Image processing technology is used to intelligently analyze the morphological characteristics and surface condition of the samples. The gimbal 61 structure allows for flexible multi-angle adjustment of the camera 6, ensuring optimal viewing angles under various operating conditions. This effectively solves the visual blind spot problem inherent in traditional fixed-angle monitoring. The wide field-of-view design completely records the sample's state changes on the transfer platform 51, providing comprehensive visual data support for subsequent analysis. Combined with image recognition algorithms, the system can automatically identify key information such as sample integrity and layering characteristics, achieving non-contact quality inspection. The visual recording function provides a traceable image archive for the entire testing process, facilitating subsequent data verification and quality control. This intelligent visual monitoring solution not only significantly improves the transparency and reliability of the testing process but also provides fundamental data support for establishing digital twin models of soil and rock samples.
[0051] Optional, see reference Figure 1 The bottom of the mobile frame 1 is equipped with universal wheels 7 with locking function, and the mobile frame 1 also has adjustable support legs 8 distributed circumferentially.
[0052] When the equipment moves, the seven sets of casters can rotate freely 360°, facilitating flexible positioning in complex terrain. Upon reaching the work position, the casters are secured by a mechanical locking device, while hydraulic outriggers extend to support the ground, forming a stable working platform. The seven sets of casters with locking function ensure both the flexibility of equipment movement and reliable positioning, solving the problems of inconvenient movement and inaccurate positioning of traditional survey equipment. The circumferentially distributed adjustable outriggers 8, controlled independently by hydraulics, can achieve three-dimensional leveling, ensuring the equipment remains horizontally stable even in complex terrain with slopes not exceeding 15°, creating ideal conditions for precision testing. The outriggers and locking casters form a dual stabilization mechanism, effectively suppressing vibration interference during drilling operations and improving sampling accuracy. This support system enables the equipment to adapt to various field conditions such as soft soil, gravel, and slopes, significantly improving the site adaptability of the device.

[0054] S1. Move the device to the survey point using the casters 7 at the bottom of the mobile frame 1, lock the casters 7 to prevent slipping, unfold the adjustable legs 8 distributed around the circumference of the mobile frame 1, and adjust it to a horizontal and stable state to ensure a smooth sampling and testing process.
[0055] S2. Start the linear motion component 23 to drive the drill rod 22 and sampling cylinder 21 to move downward along the axis to perform rock and soil drilling. After sampling is completed, the linear motion component 23 lifts the drill rod 22 to the initial position.
[0056] S3. The rotating table 11 drives the sampling component 2 to rotate, pouring the soil and rock sample in the drill rod 22 onto the transfer table 51. The slide table of the slide rail component 52 drives the transfer table 51 to move along the slide rail, transporting the sample to the pressure detection component 3.
[0057] S4. The pressure testing component 3 tests the compressive strength or bearing capacity of the soil and rock sample on the transfer platform 51, records the data, and after the pressure test is completed, the slide table of the slide rail element 52 continues to move and slides the sample to the moisture content testing component 4 through the inclined section.
[0058] S5, the moisture content detection component 4 measures the moisture content of the soil and rock sample and obtains the moisture content data. After the test is completed, the residual sample on the transfer platform 51 is cleaned to prepare for the next sampling.
