Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pile foundation model testing technology, specifically to an arbitrary angle pull-out loading device for transparent soil pile foundation model testing. Background Technology

[0002] In existing studies, axial or horizontal loads are usually applied to the pile foundation by actuators to explore the bearing characteristics of the pile foundation under vertical or horizontal loads. However, in actual engineering, the pile foundation is often in a complex stress state. For example, offshore pile foundations must simultaneously bear the coupling effect of vertical buoyancy and horizontal wave loads, resulting in the pile foundation actually bearing oblique loads.

[0003] If such complex loads are to be simulated in indoor model tests, traditional methods require the fabrication of specialized steel trusses at various angles to fix the actuators, which greatly increases the complexity and cost of indoor model tests. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an arbitrary angle pull-out loading device for transparent soil pile foundation model tests, including an optical platform, a model groove, a model pile, a multi-angle loading reaction frame, a guide rail, pulley block A, pulley block B, a vertical pull-out device, and cables.

[0005] The model trough is placed on an optical platform, and transparent soil is laid inside the trough, with model piles pre-embedded in the transparent soil.

[0006] The multi-angle loading reaction frame is a U-shaped reaction frame, fixed on the optical platform, and located directly above the model slot. Two parallel guide rails, denoted as guide rail I and track II, are provided on the multi-angle loading reaction frame.

[0007] The pulley blocks A and B are spaced apart between the two guide rails and are slidably mounted on the two guide rails through the connecting components of the pulley blocks.

[0008] The pulley system A and pulley system B have the same structure.

[0009] One end of the cable is connected to the vertical pulling device, and the other end is wound around pulley block A and pulley block B in sequence, and extends out of pulley block B to connect with the model pile.

[0010] Furthermore, during the test, pulley block A was fixed on the guide rail, and by adjusting the position of pulley block B, multi-angle oblique loading of the pile foundation could be achieved.

[0011] Furthermore, during the test, the vertical upward pulling device was positioned directly above pulley block A.

[0012] Furthermore, the multi-angle loading reaction frame includes two U-shaped plates and two base plates. The two U-shaped plates are arranged in parallel, and their two ends are fixed to different base plates respectively.

[0013] Each of the two U-shaped plates is provided with a guide rail, which is a U-shaped hole structure that runs through the thickness direction of the U-shaped plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the pulley block A includes pulley I, pulley II, bearings, and a connecting assembly. The connecting assembly includes bolts and nuts.

[0015] The two ends of the outer ring of the bearing are respectively fitted into the inner holes of pulley I and pulley II. A cable is wound around the middle of the outer ring of the bearing, with one end of the cable connected to the vertical upward pulling device and the other end wound around the outer ring of the bearing of pulley group B.

[0016] The bolts pass through guide rail I, bearing inner ring and track II in sequence, and the pulley block A is fastened to the guide rail by the nut.

[0017] Furthermore, the dimensions of the guide rail are adapted to the dimensions of the bolt.

[0018] Furthermore, the base plate has screw holes, through which bolts pass to fix the multi-angle loading reaction frame onto the optical platform.

[0019] Furthermore, the cable is a fishing line.

[0020] Furthermore, the vertical upward pulling device is an actuator.

[0021] Furthermore, the model groove is a transparent acrylic model groove.

[0022] The technical effects of this invention are undeniable, and its beneficial effects are as follows:

[0023] Based on the principle that pulleys can change the direction of force, this invention can convert the vertical upward pulling force provided by the external actuator into a pulling force at different angles. This not only realizes multi-angle oblique loading of pile foundations, but also greatly saves the cost of model test. Attached Figure Description
