Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of compaction testing technology, and more specifically, to a device and method for testing the compaction of roadbeds for soft soil foundations. Background Technology
[0002] Widening the roadbed is a crucial step in road widening projects. It involves increasing the road width by filling one or both sides of the existing roadbed with new soil or laying structural layers to meet the demands of increased traffic flow or functional upgrades. Widened roadbeds are typically made of soft soil, requiring pre-compaction before subsequent construction. After compaction of the soft soil foundation, compaction testing is necessary to ensure the foundation's density meets standards. The most common method for testing this type of soft soil foundation is the ring cutter method, which involves using a ring cutter to cut into the soil to collect a sample, weighing the sample, determining its moisture content, and calculating its dry density and degree of compaction.
[0003] For conventional foundation compaction testing, sampling is only required on the compacted surface. However, for soft soil foundations, sampling is necessary not only on the surface but also in the middle and at the bottom of the compacted layer. Therefore, current sampling methods for soft soil foundations require excavating a trench of a specified depth on the ground, followed by workers entering the trench to collect samples using a ring cutter. This process presents several challenges: firstly, the trench needs to be large enough for workers to enter, resulting in significant excavation and subsequent backfilling work; secondly, the excavation process can easily disturb the soil within the foundation, affecting the accuracy of the sampling. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device and method for testing the compaction degree of roadbed for soft soil foundations. The device uses a cutting mechanism to make multiple downward cuts at the same position on the ground to form sampling holes of a specified depth. Then, a sampling mechanism enters the sampling holes to take samples. This facilitates sampling at the middle and bottom of the compacted layer, reduces the workload in the sampling process, reduces disturbance to the soil, and improves the accuracy of sampling.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the invention.
[0043] Example
[0044] The following is for reference Figures 1-10 As shown in the figure, and further illustrated with specific embodiments, this embodiment provides a roadbed compaction testing device for soft soil foundations. Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a base 1, a cutting mechanism 2, a sampling mechanism 3, a driving mechanism 4, a support mechanism 5, and an electronic scale 6. Rollers 11 are provided at each of the four corners of the base 1 to facilitate pushing it to the designated sampling position. A notch 12 is provided in the middle of the base 1, through which the cutting mechanism 2 and the sampling mechanism 3 reach the ground. The cutting mechanism 2 can be inserted into the ground to cut the soil. After cutting, the cut soil can be removed. By repeatedly cutting downwards at the same position, a sampling hole of a specified depth can be cut into the ground. The sampling mechanism 3 is used to insert into the bottom wall of the sampling hole and reach the specified depth for sampling. The driving mechanism 4 is used to drive the cutting mechanism 2 and the sampling mechanism 3 to move up and down. The support mechanism 5 provides support and guidance for the cutting mechanism 2 and the sampling mechanism 3. The electronic scale 6 is placed on the base 1 and used to weigh the sample taken out by the sampling mechanism 3 to facilitate subsequent calculation of the soil sample compaction.
[0045] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the cutting mechanism 2 includes a drive sleeve 21 and a cutting cylinder 22. The drive sleeve 21 is slidably disposed on the upper part of the notch 12 in a vertical direction. The cutting cylinder 22 is fixedly disposed on the bottom of the drive sleeve 21 and can extend into the notch 12. A first pressing member 23 is provided on both opposite sides of the top of the drive sleeve 21. The sampling mechanism 3 includes a drive rod 31 and a sampling ring knife 32. The drive rod 31 is slidably disposed in the drive sleeve 21. A connecting member 34 is provided on the top of the sampling ring knife 32 and is detachably installed on the bottom end of the drive rod 31 through the connecting member 34. The connecting member 34 is located below the drive sleeve 21. A second pressing member 33 is provided on both opposite sides of the top of the drive rod 31. The second pressing member 33 and the first pressing member 23 are distributed alternately in sequence. The first pressing member 23 is pressed by the driving mechanism 4, which enables the driving sleeve 21 to drive the cutting cylinder 22 to be inserted into the soil. After insertion into the soil, the driving sleeve 21 is rotated to cut the soil to the specified depth. Then, the first pressing member 23 is moved upward by the driving mechanism 4 to bring out the cut soil. After cutting the soil multiple times to form a sampling hole at the specified depth, the second pressing member 33 is moved to a position where it can be pressed by the driving mechanism 4 by rotating the driving sleeve 21 and the driving rod 31 at the same time by a specified angle. At this time, the second pressing member 33 is pressed by the driving mechanism 4 so as to drive the driving rod 31 to drive the sampling ring cutter 32 to be inserted into the bottom wall of the sampling hole so as to obtain the sample at the specified depth.
[0046] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the drive mechanism 4 includes a drive seat 41 vertically mounted on the base 1. The drive seat 41 contains a drive block 42 and a lifting member 43 for driving the drive block 42 to slide along the length of the drive seat 41. A pressing assembly 44 is mounted on the drive block 42. In this embodiment, the lifting member 43 is a motor screw assembly. In other embodiments, a cylinder or hydraulic cylinder can also be used as the lifting member 43, as long as it can drive the drive seat 41 to rise and fall vertically. The pressing assembly 44 includes a pressing frame 441 and two pressing blocks 442. The pressing frame 441 is welded to the drive block 42, and the two pressing blocks 442 are welded to the side of the pressing frame 441 away from the drive block 42. The first pressing member 23 includes a first connecting rod 231 and a first pressing block 232, and the second pressing member 33 includes a second connecting rod 331 and a second pressing block 332. In the initial state, the two pressing blocks 442 are aligned with the two first pressing blocks 232. When the lifting member 43 drives the driving block 42 to move downward, the pressing block 442 can press the first pressing block 232 to cause the driving sleeve 21 to drive the cutting cylinder 22 to insert into the ground, thereby drilling a sampling hole in the ground. When sampling is required by the sampling ring cutter 32, by simultaneously rotating the driving sleeve 21 and the driving rod 31 by a specified angle, the two second pressing blocks 332 can be positioned directly below the two pressing blocks 442. At this time, by driving the driving block 42 downward by the lifting member 43, the pressing block 442 can press the second pressing blocks 332 to drive the sampling ring cutter 32 into the sampling hole.
[0047] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the pressing block 442 is provided with a fastening block 45. Both the first pressing block 232 and the second pressing block 332 have fastening grooves on their sides near the fastening block 45 for the fastening block 45 to be inserted. The fastening block 45 is inverted T-shaped. When the bottom surface of the pressing block 442 is flush with the top surfaces of the first pressing block 232 and the second pressing block 332, by rotating the drive sleeve 21 and the drive rod 31 as a whole, when the fastening block 45 aligns with the fastening groove on the first pressing block 232 and is inserted, the relative position of the pressing block 442 and the first pressing block 232 is fixed. When the lifting member 43 drives the drive block 42 to move upward, the pressing block 442 can then drive the first pressing block 232 upward through the fastening block 45. The movement facilitates the cutting cylinder 22 to bring out the cut sample; when the fastening block 45 is aligned with the fastening groove on the second pressing block 332 and inserted, the relative position of the pressing block 442 and the second pressing block 332 is fixed. When the lifting member 43 drives the driving block 42 to move upward, the pressing block 442 can drive the second pressing block 332 to move upward through the fastening block 45, so as to facilitate the sampling ring to move upward to collide with the driving sleeve 21, thereby shaking off the residual soil on the driving sleeve 21.
[0048] Reference Figure 2As shown, the support mechanism 5 includes a column 51, which is vertically welded to the base 1. A support seat 52 is welded to the top of the column 51, and a rotating seat 53 is rotatably connected to the support seat 52. The drive sleeve 21 slides through the rotating seat 53. The support seat 52 is also provided with a rotating assembly 54 for driving the rotating seat 53 to rotate. The rotating assembly 54 drives the rotating seat 53 to rotate, thereby driving the drive sleeve 21 to rotate, which in turn drives the cutting cylinder 22 to rotate and cut the soil. In this embodiment, the rotating assembly 54 is a gear and ring assembly. The motor drives the gear to rotate, which in turn drives the ring to rotate, thereby causing the rotating seat 53 to drive the drive sleeve 21 to rotate. In other embodiments, a worm gear mechanism or a rack and pinion mechanism can also be used as the rotating assembly 54.
[0049] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, a first limiting strip 311 is provided on the drive rod 31 along its length direction, a first limiting groove 211 is provided inside the drive sleeve 21 for the first limiting strip 311 to slide, a second limiting strip 212 is provided on the outside of the drive sleeve 21 along its length direction, and a second limiting groove 531 is provided inside the rotating seat 53 for the second limiting strip 212 to slide. With the cooperation of the first limiting strip 311 and the first limiting groove 211, the drive rod 31 will not rotate relative to the drive sleeve 21. With the cooperation of the second limiting strip 212 and the second limiting groove 531, the drive sleeve 21 will not rotate relative to the rotating seat 53, thereby ensuring the consistency of the rotation process of the rotating seat 53, the drive sleeve 21, and the drive rod 31.
[0050] Reference Figure 5 As shown, the connector 34 includes a connecting collar 341 for sleeved on the drive rod 31. The connecting collar 341 is positioned above the sampling ring cutter 32 and is fixedly connected to the sampling ring cutter 32 via an arc-shaped connecting rod 342. The connecting collar 341 is provided with a positioning bolt 343, and the drive rod 31 has a threaded hole for the positioning bolt 343 to be inserted. During the pressing process of the drive sleeve 21, the bottom end of the drive sleeve 21 can abut against the connecting collar 341 and drive the drive rod 31 to move downward synchronously. When the connecting collar 341 abuts against the bottom end of the drive sleeve 21, the top surfaces of the first pressing block 232 and the second pressing block 332 are flush, and the sampling ring cutter 32 is located above the cutting cylinder 22. During the process of the cutting cylinder 22 being inserted into the soil to cut the soil, the sampling ring cutter 32 will not be inserted into the soil, thereby avoiding premature contact between the sampling ring cutter 32 and the soil and affecting the sampling results.
[0051] Reference Figure 6As shown, the top of the drive sleeve 21 has a strip groove 213 through which the second connecting rod 331 passes. When the second connecting rod 331 enters the strip groove 213, the sampling ring cutter 32 can be inserted into the cutting cylinder 22. When the pressing block 442 presses the second pressing block 332 to drive the sampling ring cutter 32 into the sampling hole, the second connecting rod 331 can enter the strip groove 213 without abutting against the drive sleeve 21, thereby preventing the sampling ring cutter 32 from driving the cutting cylinder 22 to continue moving downward and cutting the soil during sampling.
[0052] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 7 As shown, the cutting cylinder 22 is provided with a sealing member 24 and a pushing member 25. The sealing member 24 is used to prevent soil from entering the sampling ring cutter 32, and the pushing member 25 is used to push the cut soil out of the cutting cylinder 22. The sealing member 24 includes an annular step 241 and multiple flexible fan-shaped pieces 242. The annular step 241 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the cutting cylinder 22, and the multiple flexible fan-shaped pieces 242 are distributed in the annular step 241 and can seal the inner circle of the annular step 241. The cutting depth of the cutting cylinder 22 in each cut is less than the distance between the annular step 241 and the bottom of the cutting cylinder 22. When the cutting cylinder 22 is inserted into the soil, the flexible fan-shaped blade 242 can block the soil, preventing splashed soil from entering the sampling ring 32 and affecting subsequent sampling results. The ejector 25 includes an ejector ring 251 and two ejector rods 252. The ejector rods 252 are slidably mounted on the cutting cylinder 22, and the bottom end of the ejector rods 252 passes through the annular step 241. The ejector ring 251 is fixedly mounted at the end of the ejector rods 252 located outside the annular step 241. After the cutting cylinder 22 brings the cut soil away from the sampling hole, the ejector rods 252 drive the ejector ring 251 to press the soil, thus forcing the soil out from the bottom of the cutting cylinder 22.
[0053] Reference Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, a pressing mechanism 7 for driving the push rod 252 downward is provided on one side of the base 1. A receiving trough 8 for collecting soil is also provided on the base 1 at the opening of the notch 12. The receiving trough 8 includes a fixed trough 81 and a movable trough 82. The fixed trough 81 is fixed on the base 1, and the movable trough 82 is slidably disposed on the fixed trough 81 and can extend into the notch 12. A rodless cylinder 83 for driving the movable trough 82 is provided on one side of the fixed trough 81. When the cutting cylinder 22 moves upward to the designated position, the rodless cylinder 83 drives the movable trough 82 to move into the notch 12 and position it below the cutting cylinder 22. The pressing mechanism 7 drives the push rod 252 downward and presses the cut soil out from the bottom of the cutting cylinder 22. The receiving trough 8 can guide the soil to the outside of the base 1, and then it can continue to enter the sampling hole through the cutting cylinder 22 for cutting and drilling.
[0054] Reference Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, the pressing mechanism 7 includes a support frame 71, on which a drive cylinder 72 and a drive frame 73 are provided. The drive frame 73 includes a pressing rod 731 and arc-shaped pressing strips 732 provided at both ends of the pressing rod 731. A push-out plate 253 is provided at the top of the push-out rod 252. A return spring 254 is connected between the push-out plate 253 and the cutting cylinder 22. When the second pressing member 33 is located directly below the pressing assembly 44, the two arc-shaped pressing bars 732 are respectively located directly above the two push-out rods 252. The pressing bar 731 is driven to move closer to the push-out rod 252 by the driving electric cylinder 72. The arc-shaped pressing bar 732 can apply downward pressure to the push-out plate 253, thereby causing the push-out rod 252 to drive the push-out ring 251 to move and apply a pushing force to the soil in the cutting cylinder 22, thereby pushing the soil out of the cutting cylinder 22 and causing the soil to fall into the receiving trough 8. When the arc-shaped pressing bar 732 separates from the push-out plate 253, the push-out rod 252 moves back to the initial position under the action of the return spring 254, so as to facilitate the cutting cylinder 22 to continue to enter the soil for cutting the soil.
[0055] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 10 As shown, a mounting rod 55 for mounting the sampling ring cutter 32 is slidably provided on the side of the support base 52 away from the rotating base 53. The mounting rod 55 has threaded holes for the insertion of positioning bolts 343. After the sampling ring cutter 32 is removed from the drive rod 31, the connecting piece 34 is installed on the mounting rod 55 to facilitate the cleaning of excess soil on the upper and lower sides of the sampling ring cutter 32. A scraper frame 56 is provided on the column 51. Scraper plates 561 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the scraper frame 56. The bottom surface of the upper scraper plate 561 is flush with the top surface of the sampling ring cutter 32, and the top surface of the lower scraper plate 561 is flush with the bottom surface of the sampling ring cutter 32. A transverse electric cylinder 57 is provided on the support base 52 to drive the mounting rod 55 to move closer to or away from the scraper frame 56. The mounting rod 55 is moved closer to the scraper frame 56 by the transverse electric cylinder 57. The scraper plates 561 on the upper and lower sides can simultaneously scrape off the excess soil at the top and bottom of the sampling ring cutter 32, so that the volume of the remaining part in the sampling ring cutter 32 is equal to the actual volume of the sampling ring cutter 32.
[0056] This embodiment also provides a detection method using the above-mentioned soft soil foundation roadbed compaction detection device, including the following steps:
[0057] S1.
