Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of geotechnical and geological engineering technology, and in particular to a transparent soil vortex penetration test device and deformation measurement method. Background Technology

[0002] Spinning penetration testing (SPPT) is a technique that involves continuously rotating a penetration probe into the ground under controlled rotational speed and penetration velocity. A cableless data acquisition system is used to measure parameters such as cone tip resistance, rotational torque, and displacement during continuous penetration, reflecting the changes in the physical and mechanical properties of the soil along the depth direction. In conventional engineering investigations, SPPT is often used for in-situ testing of natural soil and rock masses. By obtaining cone tip resistance, torque curves, and pore pressure curves, it allows for the estimation of soil strength indicators, deformation modulus, and stratification characteristics, making it an important experimental method in geotechnical engineering investigation and design.

[0003] However, the interaction mechanism between the probe and the soil is extremely complex. During gyratory penetration testing, highly non-uniform stress paths and significant strain localization zones often appear at the probe's leading edge and surrounding soil, forming local shear bands and strong deformation zones around the cone and sidewalls. These localized failure phenomena significantly impact the morphology and parameter interpretation of the penetration curve. Existing experimental testing methods primarily rely on sensors on the probe or penetration rod to acquire macroscopic mechanical data. Currently, related research focuses on improving probe geometry to adapt to penetration requirements under different geological conditions. Essentially, gyratory penetration testing is still viewed as a one-dimensional survey line test along the drilling direction, emphasizing the refinement of scalar or curve information varying with depth. This boundary measurement-based approach has the following limitations:

[0004] The measured mechanical curves are integral results of the overall resistance of the soil around the probe, belonging to macroscopic scalar information, and cannot analyze the complex localized deformation characteristics inside the soil. For the unique helical shear failure mechanism of cyclotron penetration testing, traditional soil and rock internal monitoring methods are contact-based discrete monitoring. Not only is the number of measuring points limited, but the embedding of the sensor itself disrupts the original stress field of the soil, making it impossible to capture the continuous, dynamic three-dimensional displacement and strain field evolution around the probe without disturbing the soil structure. This results in a lack of direct physical experimental evidence for defining the spatial distribution of the disturbed, compacted, and relaxed zones in the soil during cyclotron penetration testing, making it difficult to establish a precise quantitative relationship between penetration parameters and the microscopic failure mechanism of the soil.

[0005] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a transparent soil vortex penetration test device and deformation measurement method. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a transparent soil vortex penetration test device and deformation measurement method to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0007] The technical solution adopted to achieve the purpose of this invention is as follows: a transparent soil spun cone penetration test device, comprising: a spun cone penetration probe, a loading system, a penetration rod, a transparent soil model box, and a three-dimensional imaging system.

[0008] The transparent soil model box is used to hold transparent soil samples.

[0009] The spinning probe is positioned above the transparent soil model box. The spinning probe is connected to the lower end of the penetrometer rod. The loading system drives the penetrometer rod, thereby causing the spinning probe to advance vertically and rotate around its own axis.

[0010] The three-dimensional imaging system is positioned on the outside of the transparent soil model box.

[0011] Furthermore, the loading system includes a reaction frame, a rotary drive assembly, a vertical loading assembly, and an industrial control computer.

[0012] The vertical loading assembly is mounted on a reaction frame. The vertical loading assembly includes a second servo motor, a ball screw, a slider, and a force sensor, all arranged within a housing. The second servo motor drives the ball screw to rotate, causing the slider to move vertically. Parallel linear guides are arranged vertically inside the housing to provide rigid guidance for the slider. The force sensor is located between the output end of the vertical loading assembly and the upper surface of the rotary drive assembly, and is used to measure the axial penetration force.

[0013] The rotary drive assembly is located below the vertical loading assembly. The rotary drive assembly includes an L-shaped housing, a first servo motor, a transmission mechanism, a rotary shaft, and a torque sensor. The first servo motor is located in the horizontal section of the L-shaped housing, and the rotary shaft is located in the vertical section. The first servo motor is horizontally positioned and drives the vertically arranged rotary shaft to rotate via the transmission mechanism. The lower end of the rotary shaft has a concave helical structure. The upper end of the probe extends into the L-shaped housing and is threadedly connected to the rotary shaft. The torque sensor is coaxially connected in series with the rotary shaft and is used to detect the torque transmitted to the spinning probe.

[0014] Furthermore, the reaction frame includes a rigid panel with a central circular hole and four connecting rods. The rigid panel and the four connecting rods are connected by bolts. The reaction frame is fixed to the base platform by the four connecting rods and serves as the installation reference and reaction channel for the loading system.

[0015] Furthermore, the three-dimensional imaging system includes a rotatable frustum mounted on the outer periphery of the transparent soil model box, and a laser emitter and two cameras mounted on the rotatable frustum.

[0016] The laser emitter has a narrow slit at its front end for emitting a vertical laser plane passing through its central axis into the transparent soil model box. The two cameras are fixed to a rotatable frustum base via a telescopic bracket, and both cameras are on the same horizontal plane, with their focal points located at the center of the transparent soil model box. The central axis of the laser emitter is perpendicular to the axis of symmetry of the two cameras.

[0017] The rotatable frustum can rotate around the central axis of the transparent soil model box, driving the laser emitter and two cameras to perform circumferential scanning imaging of the transparent soil sample inside the transparent soil model box.

[0018] Furthermore, the rotatable frustum base includes a lower half and an upper half. The lower half is fixed to the base platform and has a frustum base driving assembly inside. The upper half is annular and fits around the outside of the transparent soil model box. The frustum base driving assembly drives the upper half to rotate relative to the lower half.

[0019] Furthermore, the spin-pressing probe includes a helical cone body and a connector. The surface of the helical cone body is machined with a helical tooth structure. The helical cone body is used to generate rotational shear disturbance on the transparent soil during vertical advancement and rotation. The first end of the connector is connected to the tail end of the helical cone body, and the tail end is threadedly connected to the probe rod.

[0020] Furthermore, the connector has a threaded hole along its axis for threaded connection with the probe rod. The connector also has a water outlet along its radial direction, connecting to the outside and the threaded hole. A water-blocking ring is fitted around the connector to seal the water outlet.

[0021] Furthermore, the transparent soil model box is a transparent acrylic cylinder. The transparent soil sample filled inside the transparent soil model box consists of framework particles and pore fluid. The refractive index of the framework particles, pore fluid, and the transparent soil model box material are matched.

[0022] Furthermore, the transparent soil sample contains tracer particles at a mass fraction of 0.01% to 0.1%. These tracer particles are pearlescent mica powder or fluorescent microspheres with a particle size of 10 to 80 μm, used to generate speckle patterns under laser planar irradiation.

[0023] This invention also discloses a method for measuring three-dimensional deformation of transparent soil using a vortex cone penetration test based on the above-mentioned device, comprising the following steps:

[0024] 1) Prepare transparent soil samples incorporating tracer particles in a transparent soil model box.

[0025] 2) Turn on the three-dimensional imaging system, adjust the laser emitter to generate a laser plane that illuminates the central surface inside the transparent soil sample, and adjust the focus of the two cameras.

[0026] 3) Control the loading system to drive the spinning probe to set the vertical forward speed and rotation speed to penetrate the transparent soil sample.

[0027] 4) Control the rotatable truncated cone to drive the laser emitter and two cameras to rotate synchronously around the transparent soil model box, and continuously acquire speckle images in the laser plane during the penetration process.

[0028] 5) Set the vertical displacement of the spin-type probe to not exceed the preset depth resolution within the time it takes for the rotatable frustum to rotate one revolution. The speckle image obtained by scanning this revolution is regarded as the image at the same penetration depth.

[0029] 6) Based on the acquired speckle images and camera calibration parameters, reconstruct the three-dimensional displacement and strain fields inside the transparent soil.

[0030] The technical effects of this invention are beyond doubt:

[0031] A. This invention is the first to organically combine spun cone penetration testing (SCP) technology with three-dimensional visualization of transparent soil. It can realistically reproduce the penetration-rotation process of SCP under laboratory conditions and obtain the penetration force-torque-penetration depth response, providing a reliable physical model platform for the mechanistic interpretation of SCP results. By mapping the penetration force-torque-penetration depth curves one-to-one with the three-dimensional displacement and strain field inside the transparent soil surrounding the probe, the initiation, expansion, and penetration process of local shear zones in the soil, as well as the spatial distribution characteristics of the penetration disturbance zone, compaction zone, and relaxation zone, can be intuitively revealed during the SCP process.

[0032] B. Employing an axial-torque composite servo loading structure, the vertical loading component and the rotary drive component are arranged coaxially, allowing for independent and precise control of the vertical forward speed and rotational speed, thus achieving continuous adjustment of the penetration ratio. This facilitates various loading paths, such as constant penetration ratio and variable penetration ratio, significantly improving the controllability and repeatability of the working conditions.

[0033] C. During a single penetration loading phase, speckle images of transparent soil samples around the probe can be acquired at multiple circumferential angles. Combined with camera calibration parameters and displacement inversion algorithms, the complete three-dimensional displacement and strain fields inside the soil around the spun cone probe can be reconstructed, fundamentally breaking through the limitation of traditional spun cone penetration testing, which can only obtain one-dimensional test scalar or curve information along the drilling direction.

[0034] D. The structure adopts a modular design. The spinning probe, probe rod, loading system and three-dimensional imaging system are all connected through standard interfaces. It is easy to replace spinning probes with different helical leads, diameters or head shapes. The size of the model box, penetration speed, rotation speed and scanning angle range can be adjusted according to research needs. It has good expandability and applicability.
