Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of soil detection equipment, and particularly relates to an auxiliary device for adjusting soil boundary moisture content. Background Art
[0002] The critical moisture content test is used to determine the liquid limit and plastic limit of clay soil, and to calculate the plasticity index and liquid index, so as to determine the classification of soil. The purpose of the test is to determine the critical moisture content of clay soil when it transforms from flowing state, plastic state, semi-solid state and solid state. The critical moisture content is an important parameter of soil hydraulic properties, which can characterize the ability of soil state to change with the change of water content. Inaccurate critical moisture content test results may lead to serious engineering safety accidents, causing personal and economic property losses.
[0003] The limit moisture test is an important basic test for geotechnical engineering. Before conducting the soil limit moisture test, the representative soil sample needs to be fully stirred. The traditional stirring method is generally operated by the test personnel holding a soil mixing knife in the soil mixing dish. Due to the poor consistency of the manual stirring force, the soil samples are uneven during the soil mixing process, and the soil mixing takes a long time and is inefficient. After the soil is mixed, it is necessary to take samples for further testing. When taking a small amount of samples with a shovel, there is a risk of the soil sample falling during transportation, which is not conducive to subsequent tests. Utility Model Content
