[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present application adopts the following technical scheme: a pore water pressure gauge structure for measuring pore water pressure of soil body at the bottom of a foundation pit, comprising a pore water pressure and a collecting circuit board, the collecting circuit board comprising a data collector and a data output device, the data collector being used for collecting water pressure data detected by the pore water pressure gauge, characterized in that the structure further comprises a sealing cylinder and a tubular polyline holder connected to the lower end of the sealing cylinder, the collecting circuit board further comprising a memory, the memory being used for storing the pore water pressure data detected by the pore water pressure gauge collected by the data collector, the data output device being used for outputting the pore water pressure data stored in the memory, the pore water pressure gauge being connected to the lower end of the polyline holder, the collecting circuit board being installed in the sealing cylinder, the sealing cylinder being provided with a battery for supplying power to the collecting circuit board, the electric wire of the collecting circuit board being connected to the electric wire of the pore water pressure gauge after passing through the wire passing hole on one end of the sealing cylinder and the polyline holder, the electric wire of the collecting circuit board being sealedly connected to the wire passing hole, the connection between the electric wire of the collecting circuit board and the electric wire of the pore water pressure gauge being located in the polyline holder, and the electric wire of the collecting circuit board being sealedly connected to the wire passing hole. The collecting circuit board is integrated in the sealing cylinder together with the pore water pressure gauge, and when used, the collecting circuit board and the pore water pressure gauge can be directly buried at the bottom of the foundation pit, so that the electric wire between the collecting circuit board and the pore water pressure gauge does not need to be led out from under the bottom of the foundation pit to the collecting circuit board located on the ground, and thus the phenomenon of electric wire interference with construction will not occur. The polyline holder is arranged, so that when the length of the electric wire of the collecting circuit board and the electric wire of the pore water pressure gauge needs to be coiled, the coiled part can be accommodated in the polyline holder, so that the electromagnetic field interference caused by the wire coiling will not interfere with the work of the collecting circuit board.

The sealing cylinder is convenient to manufacture.

[0006] Preferably, the upper end cover is detachably and sealingly arranged at the upper end of the cylinder body, a plurality of upper end cover fixing bolts pass through the cylinder body and are threadedly connected to the upper end cover portion thread holes on the upper end cover, and the upper end cover fixing bolts are distributed along the circumference of the cylinder body; the lower end cover is detachably and sealingly arranged at the lower end of the cylinder body, a plurality of lower end cover fixing bolts pass through the cylinder body and are threadedly connected to the lower end cover portion cylinder side thread holes on the lower end cover, and the lower end cover fixing bolts are distributed along the circumference of the cylinder body. The cylinder body and the end cover are reliably fixed.

[0007] As preferred, the circumferential surface of the part of the upper end cover inserted into the cylinder is provided with two end cover part sealing grooves, the upper end cover is provided with two upper end cover part sealing rings located in the two upper end cover part sealing grooves, and the upper end cover part sealing rings seal and connect the upper end cover and the cylinder together; the circumferential surface of the part of the lower end cover inserted into the cylinder is provided with two end cover part sealing grooves, the lower end cover is provided with two lower end cover part sealing rings located in the two lower end cover part sealing grooves, and the lower end cover part sealing rings seal and connect the lower end cover and the cylinder together.

The connection is reliable and convenient.

[0009] As preferred, the outer end surface of the upper end cover is provided with a threaded hole for installing a lifting wire. In use, a pore water pressure gauge installation hole is punched to a set depth at a site where a foundation pit is set, a threaded head is connected to the lifting wire, the threaded head is connected in the threaded hole, the wireless pore water pressure gauge is placed in the pore water pressure gauge installation hole through the lifting wire, the wireless pore water pressure gauge is covered with earth in the pore water pressure gauge installation hole to fix it in a required posture, the lifting wire is thrown into the pore water pressure gauge installation hole, and the filling of the pore water pressure gauge installation hole is continued until it is filled. The present application can conveniently maintain the existing posture in the soil at the site of the foundation pit to be excavated.

The wire of the collecting circuit board and the wire of the pore water pressure gauge are not directly connected, but are connected through the waterproof cable, which can improve the sealing reliability of the sealing cylinder. A large-diameter section is provided in a section of the converging seat to form a step and install a sealing ring. When the water pressure is high, the sealing ring will be shortened in the axial direction and enlarged in the radial direction, so that the higher the water pressure, the better the sealing effect. If the direction is reversed, the greater the force with which the sealing ring is separated when the water pressure is high, and the more likely it is that the sealing is poor.

The surface of the waterproof cable is provided with an insulating plastic layer, and the diameter of the waterproof cable is larger than the diameter of the threading hole. In use, the waterproof cable is inserted into the threading hole from the end where the cable holder is located. During the insertion process, the annular blade cuts off a layer of the surface of the waterproof cable, thereby improving the sealing effect between the waterproof cable and the threading hole. The cut-off surface layer of the waterproof cable will compress the sealing ring, thereby improving the sealing effect of the sealing ring on the waterproof cable.

[0013] Preferably, the conductive core of the waterproof cable has a wiring hole with a larger inner end and a smaller outer end on one end face of the cable holder. The end of the wire of the pore water pressure gauge is knotted to form a clip that can pass through the wiring hole. The clip is inserted into the wiring hole, and the wiring hole is filled with conductive adhesive to form a clamp head. The clamp head adheres the wire of the pore water pressure gauge to the wiring hole. Since the wire at the cable holder end is exposed in the soil, it is prone to falling off due to soil erosion and water pressure. This connection method makes the connection more reliable.

[0014] The present invention has the following advantages: it can store the collected data first, and then export the data after retrieving the present invention, thereby eliminating the need to install wires in the foundation pit and avoiding interference from wires in the foundation pit construction.
