[0029] A method for determining the friction angle of rock mass, comprising the following steps: Step S1, the measuring instrument is transported to the measurement site and placed in a relatively flat position close to the rock mass, and the leveling unit is used to level the measuring instrument.
[0030] Step S2, after leveling, open the top cover 11 at the top end of the shell 1, open the power supply box 91 to power all electrical elements in the measuring instrument. At the same time, start the controller 9 to initialize the settings of the measuring instrument.
[0031] Step S3, take the friction rod 51 and the friction head 52 from the tool box 92, according to the characteristics of the rock mass and the measurement requirements, the friction head 52 is clamped to the friction rod 51, and then the friction rod 51 is connected with the rotating head 47.

The controller 9 controls the electric push rod 73 to be in the initial position (the force sensor 71 is not in contact with the telescopic rod 31, and there is no external force), at this time the controller 9 reads the output signal of the force sensor 71 and records it as a zero point reference value, and completes the calibration. After calibration, the controller 9 controls the electric push rod 73 to move downward, so that the force sensor 71 is in contact with the telescopic rod 31, and the normal force is provided after calibration. In this process, the force sensor 71 senses the force applied by the electric push rod 73 on the friction rod 51 in real time, that is, the normal force, and converts the sensed force signal into an electric signal and transmits it to the controller 9, to ensure that the application of the normal force meets the measurement requirements.
