[0041] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0042] The utility model embodiment provides a saturated surface dry water absorption test device, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the device comprises:

[0043] Support frame 1;

[0044] The test mold 2 is rotatably connected to the support frame 1;

[0045] The tamping rod 3 is arranged above the test mold 2, and the extension line of the central axis of the test mold 2 passes through the tamping rod 3 close to the bottom surface of the test mold 2;

[0046] The driving module is connected to both the test mold 2 and the tamping rod 3 , and is used to drive the test mold 2 to rotate in a horizontal plane, and drive the tamping rod 3 to move in a vertical direction, so as to tamp the sample in the test mold 2 .

[0047] In this embodiment, the rotation speed of the test mold 2 and the tamping frequency of the tamping rod 3 can be set according to the relevant specifications of the saturated surface dry water absorption test to drive the test mold 2 to rotate horizontally at a uniform speed, and drive the tamping rod 3 to move up and down in the vertical direction to evenly tamp the sample in the test mold 2, so that the saturated surface dry test complies with the test specifications and improves the accuracy and reliability of the test.

[0048] Specifically, the test mold 2 in this embodiment is truncated cone-shaped, and the tamping rod 3 is cylindrical, and the shapes of the test mold 2 and the tamping rod 3 meet the requirements of the test specification. At the same time, according to the requirements of the test specification, the tamping rod 3 needs to tamp the samples at the center and around the center of the test mold 2 evenly, so in this embodiment, the extension line of the central axis of the test mold 2 passes through the tamping rod 3 close to the bottom surface of the test mold 2, so that it can be ensured that the tamping rod 3 can be inserted and tamped into the samples at the center of the test mold 2 and the samples around the center of the test mold 2 during the vertical movement.

[0049] Specifically, the driving module includes:

[0050] A driving unit is disposed in the support frame 1 and connected to the test mold 2, and is used to drive the test mold 2 to rotate in a horizontal plane;

[0051] The transmission unit is arranged at one side of the driving unit and connected to the tamping rod 3 , and is used to drive the tamping rod 3 to move vertically under the drive of the driving unit so as to tamp the sample in the test mold 2 .

[0052] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the drive unit includes:

[0053] A horizontal bevel gear 4 is connected to the bottom of the test mold 2;

[0054] The vertical bevel gear 5 is arranged in the support frame 1 and is located below the horizontal bevel gear 4. The horizontal bevel gear 4 and the vertical bevel gear 5 are meshed with each other.

[0055] The motor 6 is connected to the vertical bevel gear 5 and is used to drive the vertical bevel gear 5 to rotate in a vertical plane, so as to drive the horizontal bevel gear 4 to rotate in a horizontal plane. In this embodiment, a motor base 7 for supporting the motor 6 is provided in the support frame 1.

[0056] Specifically, one side of the support frame 1 has a hollow support rod 11 , and the edge of the vertical bevel gear 5 is evenly provided with a plurality of first protrusions 501 .

[0057] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, the transmission unit includes:

[0058] The transmission wheel 8 is arranged on one side of the vertical bevel gear 5, and the transmission wheel 8 is provided with a second protrusion 801 matching with the first protrusion 501;

[0059] One end of the pull rope 9 is wound around the transmission wheel 8, and the other end passes through the support rod 11 and is connected to the top of the tamping rod 3; the vertical bevel gear 5 is used to drive the pull rope 9 to lift or lower the tamping rod 3 when rotating.

[0060] Specifically, a fixed pulley 12 is provided at one end of the support rod 11 close to the tamping rod 3 , and the pull rope 9 passes through the support rod 11 and the fixed pulley 12 and is connected to the top end of the tamping rod 3 .

[0061] In this embodiment, the vertical bevel gear 5 not only drives the test mold 2 to rotate horizontally, but also drives the transmission wheel 8 to lift or lower the tamping rod 3. Every time the tamping rod 3 is lifted, the test mold 2 rotates a certain angle, thereby achieving uniform tamping.

[0062] The present embodiment does not limit the relative position of the transmission wheel 8 and the vertical bevel gear 5, and the transmission wheel 8 can be located above the vertical bevel gear 5, or below the vertical bevel gear 5, or on the left or right side of the vertical bevel gear 5. In the present embodiment, the transmission wheel 8 is located on one side of the vertical bevel gear 5, and both are arranged in the support frame 1, and the axes of the two are in the same horizontal plane. In the present embodiment, a transmission wheel base 10 for supporting the transmission wheel 8 is arranged in the support frame 1.

[0063] In this embodiment, the number of the second protrusions 801 is set to one. Since the axis of the transmission wheel 8 and the axis of the vertical bevel gear 5 are in the same horizontal plane in this embodiment, in order to cooperate with the first protrusions 501, the initial position of the second protrusions 801 is set in the horizontal plane containing the axis of the transmission wheel 8 in this embodiment. When the second protrusions 801 are in the initial position, the tamping rod 3 is in the lowering state. When the vertical bevel gear 5 rotates, the plurality of first protrusions 501 sequentially contact and separate from the second protrusions 801, so that the tamping rod 3 is periodically switched between the lifting state and the lowering state.

[0064] Specifically, when the vertical bevel gear 5 rotates, a first protrusion 501 begins to contact the second protrusion 801, and the first protrusion 501 drives the transmission wheel 8 to rotate forward at a certain angle and wraps the pull rope 9 around the transmission wheel 8, thereby lifting the tamping rod 3 to a certain height; when the first protrusion 501 separates from the second protrusion 801, the tension applied by the transmission wheel 8 to the tamping rod 3 through the pull rope 9 disappears, and the tamping rod 3 falls freely under the action of its own weight and is lowered, and the transmission wheel 8 is driven by the pull rope 9 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the second protrusion 801 returns to its initial position. Then, the vertical bevel gear 5 continues to rotate, and the remaining first protrusions 501 contact with the second protrusion 801 in turn and then separate, so that the transmission wheel 8 swings back and forth within a certain angle, thereby driving the tamping rod 3 to periodically switch between the lifting state and the lowering state.

[0065] Since the vertical bevel gear 5 rotates at a constant speed in one direction all the time, during the process of each contact and separation between the first protrusion 501 and the second protrusion 801, the vertical bevel gear 5 can drive the test mold 2 to rotate a certain angle, so that the test mold 2 rotates once each time the tamping rod 3 is inserted, thereby evenly tamping the samples at different positions in the test mold 2.

[0066] It is worth noting that, in order to ensure that the second protrusion 801 can return to the initial position after the tamping rod 3 is lowered each time, Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, at least one balancing protrusion 802 is also provided on the edge of the transmission wheel 8 to balance the weight of the second protrusion 801. In this way, when the transmission wheel 8 is not subjected to force, the second protrusion 801 can be maintained at its initial position without positional deviation.

[0067] It can be seen from the above structure that the height of the tamping rod 3 is related to the size of the vertical bevel gear 5, the number of the first protrusions 501 and the arrangement position. In this embodiment, the multiple first protrusions 501 are evenly arranged on the edge of the vertical bevel gear 5. Since the vertical bevel gear 5 rotates at a constant speed, it can be ensured that the time interval of each tamping of the tamping rod 3 is equal. At the same time, the test specification stipulates three tamping times for different samples, namely, 5 times, 10 times and 13 times. Since each first protrusion 501 contacts and separates from the second protrusion 801 once, the tamping rod 3 is tamped once, so three types of vertical bevel gears 5 can be set accordingly, and the number of first protrusions 501 on the three types of vertical bevel gears 5 is 5, 10 and 13 respectively. When testing, the appropriate vertical bevel gear 5 can be selected according to the sample for test. In addition, the test specification generally requires that the height of the tamping rod 3 is 10 mm, and the size of each type of vertical bevel gear 5 and the spacing between two adjacent first protrusions 501 can be determined by calculation, so as to adjust the lifting height of the tamping rod 3 so that the test operation meets the requirements of the test specification.

[0068] It is worth noting that, no matter the number of tamping is 5, 10 or 13 times, the samples in the test mold 2 need to be tamped evenly within the corresponding number of tamping, that is, the test mold 2 needs to be rotated at least 360° so that the tamping rod 3 can tamp the samples at different positions in the test mold 2. Therefore, the rotation speed of the vertical bevel gear 5 that drives the test mold 2 to rotate can be determined by calculation according to the number of tamping.

[0069] Specifically, in order to prevent the pull rope 9 from being entangled with the second protrusion 801, this embodiment provides an annular groove coaxial with the central axis of the transmission wheel 8 on the outer surface of the transmission wheel 8, and the second protrusion 801 is arranged on one side of the annular groove, and the pull rope 9 is wound in the annular groove, thereby effectively avoiding interference between the second protrusion 801 and the pull rope 9.

[0070] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the device also includes:

[0071] The positioning rod 13 is connected to the support rod 11 and sleeved on the tamping rod 3 to limit the tamping rod 3 to move in the vertical direction.

[0072] By providing the positioning rod 13, a guiding effect can be provided for the tamping rod 3 during the lowering process of the tamping rod 3, so as to ensure that the tamping rod 3 falls vertically, so as to meet the requirements of the test specification for the falling angle of the tamping rod 3. Specifically, the end of the positioning rod 13 close to the tamping rod 3 is a hollow tube, and the tamping rod 3 is inserted into the hollow tube. The inner wall diameter of the hollow tube is slightly larger than the middle diameter of the tamping rod 3, and the inner wall of the hollow tube is smooth, which can reduce the friction between the tamping rod 3 and the hollow tube.

[0073] Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, trial mold 2 includes:

[0074] The upper mold 202 is rotatably connected to the support frame 1;

[0075] The upper mold 201 is detachably connected to the upper mold 202 , and the upper mold 201 and the upper mold 202 are of equal height.

[0076] Since the test specification requires that the sample should be loaded into the test mold 2 on both sides, and the height of the sample loaded into the test mold 2 for the first time should be half of the height of the test mold 2, and it is difficult to accurately control the height of the sample loaded for the first time by manual operation, the test mold 2 is divided into two layers, the upper mold 201 and the upper mold 202, and the heights of the two layers are equal. When loading the sample for the first time, it is only necessary to install the upper mold 202 in place, fill the upper mold 202 with the sample, and after tamping the sample, install the upper mold 201 on the upper mold 202, and continue the test after filling the upper mold 201 with the sample, so as to ensure that the height of the sample loaded for the first time meets the test specification.

[0077] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, the support frame 1 includes:

[0078] A plurality of vertical support columns 101;

[0079] A plurality of transverse support beams 102 are respectively connected between two adjacent vertical support columns 101;

[0080] The table 103 is rotatably disposed on the top of a plurality of vertical support columns 101; the test mold 2 is disposed on the table 103; and the driving unit is connected to the table 103 to drive the table 103 to rotate in a horizontal plane.

[0081] Specifically, a top end of each vertical support column 101 is rotatably connected to a ball 104 ; the tabletop 103 contacts the top end of the vertical support column 101 through the ball 104 .

[0082] By providing the ball bearings 104 , the friction between the table top 103 and the support column can be reduced when the table top 103 rotates, so that the table top 103 can rotate more smoothly.

[0083] Specifically, the trial mold 2 is magnetically connected to the table 103. In this embodiment, the table 103 has magnetic force after being powered on, and can attract the upper mold 202 and the upper mold 201, so that the upper mold 202 and the upper mold 201 can rotate synchronously with the table 103.

[0084] The above are only a few embodiments of the present application and do not constitute any form of limitation to the present application. Although the present application is disclosed as above with preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present application. Any technician familiar with the profession, without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present application, using the technical content disclosed above to make slight changes or modifications are equivalent to equivalent implementation cases and fall within the scope of the technical solution.
