[0032] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0033] Example 1:
[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 5 This invention discloses a full-scale test device for the bearing capacity of a mined tunnel, including an annular specimen set at the center, an integrated reaction system 4 coaxially set on the outer side of the annular specimen, a three-dimensional electromagnetic space positioning system 2 set between the integrated reaction system 4 and the annular specimen, a plurality of loading systems 3 set on the three-dimensional electromagnetic space positioning system 2, the three-dimensional electromagnetic space positioning system 2 is used to adjust the height and horizontal position of the plurality of loading systems 3, and the plurality of loading systems 3 are circumferentially set on the outer side of the annular specimen;
[0035] The active end of the loading system 3 contacts the outer wall of the annular specimen through the pad 6;
[0036] The annular specimen was placed on the padding structure 5;
[0037] The three-dimensional electromagnetic spatial positioning system 2 and the loading system 3 are connected to the device control system 1.
[0038] In use, this device can be assembled based on annular specimens, thus enabling performance tests on mined tunnels of different sizes and cross-sectional styles. It can also conduct loading tests on large concrete components with various cross-sectional forms, such as shield tunnels, pipe galleries, and pipelines. The three-dimensional electromagnetic spatial positioning system 2 allows the loading system 3 to move freely in both vertical and horizontal circumferential directions. Combined with the pads 6, it allows for three-dimensional spatial position adjustment, thereby meeting the loading requirements of different types of mined tunnel specimens and other large structural specimens, overcoming the limitation of existing full-scale test platforms where the loading points cannot be freely adjusted.
[0039] The device control system 1 consists of a control terminal and an integrated oil source servo control terminal. The control console of device control system 1 embeds a load control system, a positioning control system, and a data acquisition system. The load control system includes a load calculation module, allowing users to input parameters such as formation and burial depth. This device control system 1 automatically calculates the load, converting formation pressure into point pressure values, ensuring load accuracy of no less than 92%. It also features one-button pause and pressure holding functions, facilitating user observation of experimental phenomena.
[0040] As an optional implementation, the integrated reaction system 4 is a circular sunken foundation pit, the integrated reaction system 4 is a cast-in-place reinforced concrete structure, and the inner wall of the integrated reaction system 4 is equipped with a waterproof structure.
[0041] This invention adopts an integrated design of a sunken reaction frame and reaction wall. By setting up a waterproof structure and using a waterproof hydraulic jack as the core component of the loading system 3, it can simulate the external water environment of the specimen, thereby enabling observation of the entire process of specimen deformation, cracking and leakage.
[0042] As an optional implementation, the three-dimensional electromagnetic spatial positioning system 2 includes several vertical electromagnetic slide rails 21, which are arranged at equal intervals around the circumference and are embedded in the inner wall of the integrated reaction system 4.
[0043] Several vertical electromagnetic slide rails 21 are fixedly connected to several circumferential electromagnetic slide rails 22 that are equally spaced along the height direction. Loading system mounting sliders 24, matching the number of loading systems 3, slide on the circumferential electromagnetic slide rails 22. The loading system mounting sliders 24 correspond one-to-one with the loading systems 3.
[0044] As an optional implementation, a connecting pad 23 is provided between the circumferential electromagnetic slide rail 22 and the vertical electromagnetic slide rail 21, with both ends of the connecting pad 23 fixed to the circumferential electromagnetic slide rail 22 and the vertical electromagnetic slide rail 21, respectively.
[0045] As an optional implementation, the loading system 3 includes a jack, the hydraulic connection end 31 of which is fixed to the corresponding loading system mounting slider 24, and the top end 32 of the jack is provided with a pressure sensing end 33, which contacts the corresponding pad 6.
[0046] As an optional implementation, the pressure sensing end 33 is a pressure displacement sensor 34. The movable end of the pressure displacement sensor 34 contacts the corresponding pad 6, and the fixed end of the pressure displacement sensor 34 is fixed to the top end 32 of the jack. The pressure displacement sensor 34 is electrically connected to the device control system 1.
[0047] The loading system 3 consists of several bidirectional large-tonnage jacks, which have good waterproof performance and can meet the requirements for underwater operation. At the same time, the loading system 3 is connected to the servo oil source control cabinet and operates according to control signals.
[0048] The loading system 3 includes a hydraulic connection end 31, a jack top end 32, a pressure sensing end 33, and a pressure displacement sensor 34.
[0049] A pad 6 is provided between the loading system 3 and the outer wall of the specimen. The pad 6 is used to compensate for the distance between the top 32 of the jack of the loading system 3 and the outer wall of the specimen. It is suitable for situations where the loading system 3 reaches the limit length but the loading force does not reach the preset value. By adding the pad 6, the loading system 3 can easily transfer the loading force to the specimen.
[0050] As an optional implementation, the pad structure 5 includes a waterstop 52, with two spaced steel plates 51 fixed to the top of the waterstop 52. The two steel plates 51 enclose a cavity for filling with explosion-proof sealing oil 53, and the top steel plate 51 is used to place an annular specimen.
[0051] The cushion structure 5 is a self-sealing liquid-sealed annular support. This support consists of a 3-layer structure, with a waterstop 52 at the bottom and two layers of steel plates 51 on top. Explosion-proof sealing oil 53 is filled between the steel plates 51 to reduce friction and provide a sealing effect, thus providing an environment suitable for underwater testing. At the same time, the steel plates 51 are replaceable parts. If the support steel plates 51 are damaged after the on-site casting of the test specimen, they can be disassembled and replaced.
[0052] Furthermore, the area of the cushion structure 5 is sufficient. When casting the specimen on-site, a pad can be placed on the steel plate 51, and the specimen can be cast on the pad. If it is necessary to fix the template, it can be welded to the steel plate. After the specimen is made, it can be removed at will.
[0053] As an optional implementation, two circumferential electromagnetic slide rails 22 are arranged along the height direction. Every two loading systems 3 located in the same vertical direction constitute a loading group. Each loading group corresponds to a pad block 6, and the number of loading groups is 24.
[0054] In this embodiment, the three-dimensional electromagnetic spatial positioning system 2 consists of two circumferential electromagnetic slide rails 22 and twenty-four vertical electromagnetic slide rails 21. The vertical electromagnetic slide rails 21 are fixed at equal intervals to the reaction structure wall of the integrated reaction system 4. The two circumferential electromagnetic slide rails 22 are connected to the twenty-four vertical electromagnetic slide rails 21. The loading system 3 is installed on the circumferential electromagnetic slide rails 22. The loading system 3 moves up and down by controlling the circumferential electromagnetic slide rails 22 along the vertical electromagnetic slide rails 21. The loading system mounting slider 24 on the circumferential electromagnetic slide rails 22 moves to adjust the horizontal position of the loading system 3. The combination of these two methods allows for the adjustment of the loading system 3's position in three-dimensional space, thus adapting to tunnel specimens with different cross-sectional shapes. Simultaneously, a laser positioning device is installed on the loading system mounting slider 24, using the center point of the excavation pit as a reference point for auxiliary positioning.
[0055] The device control system 1 includes a positioning system. This system, based on the specimen's cross-sectional shape and deformation during the test, actively adjusts the positions of each loading system 3 via a three-dimensional electromagnetic spatial positioning system 2. This ensures that each loading point remains tangent to the specimen's contact surface, guaranteeing both test effectiveness and safety. The test data analysis system provides multi-channel interfaces, enabling real-time acquisition of various test data and automatic display of any abnormal data.
[0056] Among them, the integrated oil source servo control terminal of the device control system 1 consists of 12 integrated oil source servo control cabinets of the same specifications, which are placed at equal intervals to ensure that the control of each load is synchronized.
[0057] Twenty-four vertical electromagnetic rails 21 are installed at equal intervals on the integrated reaction system 4, thus this embodiment has a 24-point asymmetric loading capability.
[0058] As an optional implementation, the integrated reaction system 4 has an inner diameter of 20m and a depth of 4m, with two layers of waterproof structure.
[0059] The integrated reaction system 4 is a circular sunken pit with a diameter of 20m and a depth of 4m. It consists of a reaction well wall and a waterproof system. The reaction well wall is integrally cast from a reaction steel frame and C80 concrete, and is internally lined with two layers of waterproofing to ensure that the well wall will not deform or be damaged during the test. It also has the function of underwater loading.
[0060] As an optional implementation, a laser positioning device is mounted on the loading system mounting slider 24.
[0061] The steps for conducting experiments using this device are as follows:
[0062] 1) Develop test plan: This includes specimen dimensions, loading scheme, operation steps, etc., to facilitate the preliminary preparation work such as custom servo control system, loading system, three-dimensional electromagnetic space positioning system settings and specimen placement;
[0063] 2) Specimen preparation: Adjust the position of the specimen support components according to the test plan, then place the pad, install the model template, and pour the specimen on site.
[0064] 3) Install telescopic support arms and loading devices: According to the test plan, install an appropriate number of telescopic support arms at each loading point, then install the loading devices. After confirming that they are secure, use the electromagnetic spatial positioning system to position the loading devices. Then adjust the telescopic arms to ensure that the loading jacks are tangent to the surface of the specimen. Next, install the load distribution device by connecting the front end of the jacks to the pre-reserved slot at the front end of the load distribution device. Finally, adjust the telescopic support arms and the lifting amount of the jacks to ensure that the load distribution device is in contact with the specimen.
[0065] 4) Set up data acquisition instruments: Set up data acquisition equipment on the specimen. Common data acquisition instruments include steel stress strain gauges, external strain gauges, concrete strain sensors and various displacement gauges. The data acquisition instruments are set up according to the test plan, and the other end is connected to the control console.
[0066] 5) Servo control system parameter settings:
[0067] Input the relevant parameters according to the test plan, and after the system calculates, set the load value for each point, as well as parameters such as loading accuracy, loading speed, and peak failure strength determination.
[0068] 6) Data Acquisition System Settings: Users can set the parameters of the data acquisition system on the control platform, such as acquisition accuracy, frequency, and type. Users can also configure a computer for independent data acquisition.
[0069] 7) Test loading and data acquisition: Start loading according to the test plan. If the data acquisition system is embedded in the control system, select "Start Loading" directly. The system will automatically store various test data. If it is not embedded, the user needs to start data acquisition manually.
[0070] Example 2:
[0071] refer to Figure 6 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the pad 6 includes a telescopic support arm fixing plate 61 fixed to the side wall of the annular specimen. The telescopic support arm fixing plate 61 has a lead screw 62 and three smooth rods 64. The lead screw 62 and the three smooth rods 64 are respectively set at the four corners of the telescopic support arm fixing plate 61. The smooth rods 64 are fixed to the telescopic support arm fixing plate 61. The lead screw 62 is rotatably engaged with the telescopic support arm fixing plate 61. The three smooth rods 64 are slidably engaged with the same limiting slider 63. The limiting slider 63 is threadedly engaged with the lead screw 62. The limiting slider 63 is in contact with the corresponding moving end of the loading system 3.
[0072] The pad block 6 consists of a telescopic support arm fixing plate 61, a lead screw 62, a limiting slider 63, and a smooth rod 64. Each lead screw 62 and smooth rod 64 is 1.5m long. The lead screw 62 provides the limiting function. Before use, after adjusting the position of the limiting slider 63, the gap between the telescopic support arm fixing plate 61 and the limiting slider 63 can be filled by pouring concrete to ensure uniform force transmission.
[0073] The adjustable length of the pad 6 allows for flexible compensation of the displacement of the loading system 3.
