Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of testing the resistance performance of protective equipment such as gates under specific loading conditions, and specifically to a test device and method for the loading resistance performance of vertical tunnels. Background Technology
[0002] With the widespread application of protective facilities in the fields of civil safety and engineering protection, the demand for assessment of the load-bearing capacity, deformation response, and structural integrity of protective door equipment such as air defense doors and explosion-proof doors under extreme working conditions such as explosion impact and impact load is becoming increasingly prominent.
[0003] Current laboratory resistance / impact tests mostly employ planar setups, such as placing door or panel samples horizontally on the ground (or a sandy substrate) for loading tests, or conducting impact tests on small-scale components in an open space. While these methods are relatively simple to implement, they still have significant shortcomings in assessing the overall door structure and its connection system with the door frame and wall, primarily in the following aspects: 1. Inaccurate boundary constraints lead to test deviations: In existing planar tests, door and door frame-wall specimens are often placed on deformable foundations such as sand. The door frame-wall as a whole may undergo displacement and rotation during loading, resulting in inconsistencies between the system's dynamic characteristics (natural frequency, stiffness, damping) and the actual fixed boundary conditions. This causes the door's response value to be systematically understated, making it difficult to reflect the resistance level under real engineering conditions. 2. Insufficient applicability to new types of explosion-proof doors: For some new types of explosion-proof door structures (such as those that do not require a traditional door frame-wall structure or require a threshold), the existing planar installation and loading methods are difficult to standardize assembly and reliably constrain, making it difficult to conduct tests or resulting in poor comparability of test results; 3. The additional deformation introduced by the weight of the door affects the authenticity of the test: Large-sized doors (such as extra-long doors) will undergo significant bending deformation due to their own weight when placed horizontally, thereby changing the initial stress state and contact conditions of the door, which in turn affects key response indicators such as strain, acceleration, and rebound, resulting in a mismatch between the test results and the actual stress state of vertical installation. 4. Inconvenient post-test condition inspection and delayed damage assessment: After the planar test is completed, it is often difficult to immediately test the function of the door, such as the opening and closing mechanism, lock and connecting mechanism in the original position. Usually, it needs to be hoisted and transported to the ground or other locations before testing. This process is not only inefficient, but may also introduce additional damage or cover up the true damage state due to secondary handling, affecting the judgment of the door's damage mode and functional retention ability. 5. Difficulty in comprehensively reflecting tunnel constraints and three-dimensional wave effects: In a tunnel environment, the door is subjected not only to unidirectional loading, but also to the complex effects of tunnel spatial constraints, door frame-wall coupling, and three-dimensional reflected waves. Existing tests in planar and open environments cannot simultaneously simulate these factors, leading to deviations between test conditions and actual engineering conditions.
[0004] In summary, existing planar loading resistance testing methods are insufficient for conducting safe, controllable, repeatable, and comparable resistance performance assessments of entire doors or door frame-wall composite structures under real boundary constraints and vertical installation conditions. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a testing device and method that can safely, controllably, and repeatedly assess the resistance performance of entire doors or door frame-wall composite structures under vertical tunnel constraints. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a vertical tunnel loading resistance performance testing device and method to address the shortcomings of existing technologies in terms of boundary authenticity, applicability, testing accuracy, and post-test functional evaluation.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A vertical tunnel loading resistance performance testing device includes a retaining wall installed in the tunnel, multiple pressure boxes in front of the retaining wall, a protective device on the front side of the retaining wall, a fixed rod on the rear side of the protective device, multiple pressure boxes behind the fixed rod along the height direction, a sensor connecting rod vertically connected to the fixed rod, and a displacement sensor on the end of the sensor connecting rod near the protective device.
[0007] Furthermore, the tunnel has an opening at the top, and a sealing kit is installed at the opening.
[0008] Furthermore, the sealing kit includes multiple concrete blocks embedded in the tunnel opening, which are divided into end concrete blocks and intermediate concrete blocks. The two end concrete blocks are located at the two ends of the tunnel opening, respectively, and the multiple intermediate concrete blocks are located between the two end concrete blocks.
[0009] Furthermore, the pressure box in front of the gate includes a pressure box body, a pressure box cover, fixing buckles, fixing screws, and a pressure box connecting pipe. The pressure box connecting pipe passes through the retaining wall, and two fixing buckles are respectively installed on the pressure box connecting pipe at the front and rear sides of the retaining wall. The fixing screws are installed on the fixing buckles, the pressure box body is installed at the end of the pressure box connecting pipe and located on the front side of the retaining wall, and the pressure box cover is placed on the pressure box body.
[0010] Furthermore, the pressure box cover has a through hole for installing a pressure sensor, which extends into the interior of the pressure box body.
[0011] A method for testing the loading resistance performance of a vertical tunnel includes the following steps: Step 1: Install the test protective equipment: Install the protective equipment at the location of the retaining wall. After the installation is completed, inspect the installation quality of the protective equipment, including various dimensional deviations and performance. Step 2, Measurement point layout: Set up pressure measurement points, strain measurement points, acceleration measurement points and displacement measurement points in front of and behind the tunnel doors; Step 3: Lay out cables: Lay out the corresponding cables for each measuring point, and ensure that the cables are conductive to transmit the signals from each measuring point; Step 4: Connection Test: After the test system is connected, perform pre-explosion debugging on the test system, test the continuity of each channel and the analog signal input, and set the trigger threshold. Step 5: Deploy the loading device: The loading device is placed directly in front of the protective equipment and is used for detonation. It is detonated by explosives, detonating cord, or methane gas. Step Six: Tunnel Sealing: Use a sealing kit to embed into the tunnel opening and seal the top of the tunnel; Step 7: Detonation: Detonate the explosives after setting up warning measures in the blast zone before and after detonation; Step 8: Post-explosion inspection: Inspect the protective equipment and record the data from the sensors at each measuring point.
[0012] Furthermore, in step two, two pressure boxes are arranged on the front sides of the protective equipment on the retaining wall, one pressure box is arranged on the top of the protective equipment on the retaining wall, and three pressure boxes are arranged on the back of the protective equipment on the fixed rod. The three pressure boxes are vertically located at 1 / 4, 2 / 4, and 3 / 4 of the top of the protective equipment, respectively. The positions of the pressure boxes and the pressure boxes correspond to the pressure measuring points. A displacement sensor is placed on the sensor connecting rod, aligned with the center of the protective equipment. The position of the displacement sensor corresponds to the displacement measurement point. Three strain gauges are installed on the back of the protective equipment and two strain gauges are installed on the front. The first strain gauge on the back is located in the center of the protective equipment, the second is located in the middle of the left side of the protective equipment, and the third is located in the lower left side of the protective equipment. The two strain gauges on the front are located in the upper and lower right sides of the protective equipment, respectively. The positions of the strain gauges correspond to the strain measurement points. An acceleration sensor is installed at the center of the back of the protective equipment, and the location of the acceleration sensor corresponds to the acceleration measurement point.
[0013] Furthermore, after the cable is connected and detonated, when the shock wave generated by the explosion acts on the protective equipment, the sensors deployed on the protective equipment and around it generate corresponding signals. These signals are sent to the amplifier via wires for amplification. The data acquisition unit receives the amplified signals, samples them, and transmits the digital signals to the computer for processing by the supporting software.
[0014] Furthermore, before the experiment, various sensors were calibrated, the data acquisition system was initially debugged, and a trial trigger simulation test was conducted after connecting the measuring points and each circuit was connected to ensure that the instruments and equipment of the system were in normal condition, that the wiring of various sensors was correct and the connection was secure, and that experimental safety protection measures were arranged. During the test, the transportation, loading, detonation, and handling of duds of explosives shall be carried out in accordance with the safety operating procedures. After the door is closed, no personnel other than those with explosives shall remain in the unsafe area. Time shall be reserved for detonation to ensure that personnel with explosives can evacuate safely. After the test, check the test data in a timely manner to ensure that the test results conform to the law of the action of the explosion shock wave. After the concrete block is removed and ventilation and smoke are exhausted, personnel can enter the explosion area to check the condition of the protective equipment after the test. After all tests are completed, the instruments, equipment and wires are removed and stored as required. The pressure, acceleration, strain and displacement time history curves obtained from the test are stored in the computer and backed up.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention enables safe, controllable, repeatable, and comparable resistance performance assessments of the entire door or door frame-wall combination structure under real boundary constraints and vertical installation conditions, overcoming the shortcomings of existing technologies in terms of boundary authenticity, scope of application, test accuracy, and post-test functional evaluation.
