Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of in-situ testing of geotechnical engineering, in particular to a pen-type rock mass friction tester and method based on a biaxial decoupling sensing core. BACKGROUND

[0002] The shear strength of rock structure surface is a decisive parameter for evaluating the stability of various rock engineering (such as slope, dam, tunnel, and mine). The accurate determination of the basic friction angle, as a key input parameter of the shear dilation model such as the Barton-Bandis model, is crucial.

[0003] The prior art is as follows: The laboratory tilt test method recommended by the International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM) is currently recognized as the gold standard for determining the basic friction angle of rock surface. It places a pair of rock samples with flat contact surfaces on a variable-angle platform, gradually increases the shear stress using the gravity component, and until the upper rock sample starts to slide, the platform inclination at this time is the basic friction angle. The principle of this method is reliable, but it has inherent and significant limitations: Non-in-situ: Must be sampled from the engineering site, which destroys the in-situ environment of the rock mass (such as humidity, microcosmic water film, gas adsorption, etc.), and the test results may not fully reflect the real working conditions.

[0004] Time-consuming and labor-intensive: From sampling, sample preparation (cutting, flattening) to testing, the entire process cycle is long, and cannot meet the needs of rapid reconnaissance and real-time decision-making on the engineering site.

[0005] Device-dependent: Requires a dedicated laboratory and large tilt test table, and cannot be flexibly applied on site.

[0006] In addition to the above method, a utility model patent with publication number CN223361971U and the name of a handheld rock sample friction test device is disclosed in the art. The device is provided with two mutually perpendicular movable seats and two independent force sensors for measuring normal force and shear force, respectively. Although this design realizes the concept of handheld measurement, its mechanical structure has the following fundamental defects: Structurally bulky and low integration: Its essence is the combination of two macro sliding mechanisms, resulting in a large volume and heavy weight, not truly "portable", and difficult to operate in a small or irregular work surface.

[0007] Susceptible to torque interference: When handheld, the operator's force is difficult to be completely eccentric and twisted. This eccentricity and torsional moment can easily cause the sliding mechanism to jam or be unevenly stressed, thereby seriously interfering with the measurement accuracy of the shear force and causing the results to be distorted.

[0008] The test material distortion: usually use fixed metal or hard alloy probe, test is the friction between the probe material and rock, not the engineering more concerned about the "rock and rock between" friction characteristics.

Figure 3As shown, the cross beam 31 includes a first radial arm 32 and a second radial arm 33 symmetrically arranged along the y-axis, and a first axial arm 34 and a second axial arm 35 symmetrically arranged along the x-axis, the roots of the first axial arm 34, the second axial arm 35, the first radial arm 32 and the second radial arm 33 intersect and are of an integral structure.

[0032] The strain gauges are provided in multiple, including a first strain gauge 36 and a second strain gauge 37 provided on the front and back of the first axial arm 34, a third strain gauge 38 and a fourth strain gauge 39 provided on the front and back of the second axial arm 35, a fifth strain gauge 310 and a sixth strain gauge 311 provided on the upper surface and the lower surface of the first radial arm 32, and a seventh strain gauge 312 and an eighth strain gauge 313 provided on the upper surface and the lower surface of the second radial arm 33.

[0033] The first strain gauge 36, the second strain gauge 37, the third strain gauge 38 and the fourth strain gauge 39 are connected by a connecting wire 1 to form a normal force measurement bridge.

[0041] The principle of the sensing unit 3 is that the cross beam 31 converts the normal force and shear force into the resistance change of the strain gauge through the deformation of the axial arm and the radial arm, and outputs the electric signal through two groups of bridge circuits, and the control unit 2 presents the friction coefficient and the basic friction angle on the display screen 21 through signal processing and calculation, so as to realize the rapid and portable measurement of the friction characteristics of the rock mass.

The battery pack and the main control circuit board are electrically connected, and the battery pack supplies power for the main control circuit board and the electric push rod 52. The main control circuit board and the battery pack are both fixed in the first cavity through a supporting element, and the supporting element can adopt a supporting plate, a bolt and a nut or the like.

10. A method for a pen-type rock mass friction tester based on a biaxial decoupled sensing core according to any one of claims 1-9, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: Step S1: Clamp the rock sample using the clamping unit inside the clamping head; Step S2: Hold the gripping part and place the rock sample below the clamping head against the surface of the rock mass structure to be tested, keeping the axis of the tester perpendicular to the contact surface to ensure the accurate direction of the normal force; Step S3: Slowly press the tester onto the rock surface and apply normal force through the grip. At this time, the first axial arm and the second axial arm of the cross beam are compressed. The normal force measuring bridge outputs a voltage signal that is proportional to the pressure and is transmitted to the microcontroller through the signal conditioning submodule. Maintaining the normal force is stable, the tester slides horizontally along the contact surface. The rock sample rubs against the structural surface. The shear force causes the first and second radial arms of the cross beam to bend. The shear force measuring bridge outputs a voltage signal that is proportional to the friction force. It is also transmitted to the microcontroller after passing through the signal conditioning submodule. Step S4: The microcontroller converts the received analog signal into a digital signal, calculates the real-time normal force, shear force, friction coefficient and basic friction angle, and displays the calculation results on the display screen in real time. Step S5: Press the confirmation and record button. The currently measured friction coefficient, basic friction angle, and corresponding normal force and shear force data are stored in the controller. Step S6: Release the pressing and sliding motion, and stop applying force; Step S7: Repeat the above steps to obtain multiple sets of normal force-shear force data points. Further perform linear fitting on the shear force-normal force data points, and use the slope of the fitted line as the final basic friction angle. Step S8: Start the electric push rod to release the gripper, remove the rock sample, turn off the power to the equipment, clean the tester, and complete the test.
