Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of mechanical testing devices for building materials, and in particular to a sample preparation device for a triaxial instrument corresponding to nano-silica sol-solified sand. Background Art

[0002] When conducting research on the mechanical properties of soil, we often need to use a triaxial apparatus for experiments, and nano-silica sol solidification of sand is one of the cases. This device realizes the separate sample preparation from the triaxial apparatus when a liquid solidifying agent such as nano-silica sol solidifies sand, and realizes the function of directly completing the sample preparation in the rubber membrane required for the triaxial apparatus sample, and forming it in one piece.

[0003] In geotechnical tests, sample preparation is one of the steps in triaxial testing of cylindrical specimens. Especially for sandy soil, sample preparation is often difficult when adding liquid curing agents such as nano-silica sol. If the operation is not done properly, the soil sample is likely to be damaged. Since nano-silica sol is a liquid curing agent, the traditional method of directly preparing samples on the triaxial instrument will cause problems such as instrument contamination and clogging of instrument pipelines when dealing with this situation. In addition, since nano-silica sol has a certain curing time, preparing samples on the instrument will reduce the instrument utilization rate, which is a waste of scientific research resources.

[0004] The information disclosed in this background technology section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the overall background of the application and should not be regarded as an admission or any form of suggestion that the information constitutes the prior art already known to ordinary technicians in the field.

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a sample preparation device for a triaxial instrument corresponding to nano-silica sol-solidified sand, which can be separated from the triaxial instrument for sample preparation, and there is no need to insert the rubber film required by the triaxial instrument after the sample is solidified, thereby avoiding possible damage to the sample when the rubber film is inserted, ensuring the reliability of the experimental results, and improving the efficiency of the instrument.

[0008] Optionally, a circular hole with rounded bottom corners is provided at the bottom of the base to facilitate the base to be connected to a peristaltic pump rubber tube.

[0009] Optionally, the tubular mold comprises a tubular sample-making sleeve and a drainage groove, the tubular sample-making sleeve is nested with the cylindrical nesting portion, and the drainage groove is obliquely surrounded by the tubular sample-making sleeve.

[0010] Optionally, a drain outlet for collecting and draining overflowed waste liquid is provided at the lowest point of the drain trough.

[0011] Optionally, the tubular mold is provided with a rounded corner at the bottom of the sleeve to facilitate connection with the base when nested with the base.

The prepared sample can be directly used in the test operation of the triaxial instrument, which is highly practical.

[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is by no means intended to limit the present application and its application or use. Example

[0028] A sample preparation device for a triaxial apparatus for nano-silica sol-solified sand, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, it includes a base 9, and a tubular mold 10 is nested and connected on the top of the base 9. The base 9 includes a cylindrical nesting part 1, a through-type circular hole 2, a cylindrical base 3 and a cylindrical support 5. The cylindrical support 5 is fixedly connected with the cylindrical base 3, and the cylindrical nesting part 1 is connected on the top of the cylindrical base 3. The cylindrical nesting part 1 is provided with a through-type circular hole 2 inside, the cylindrical nesting part 1 is nested with the tubular mold 10, the through-type circular hole 2 is connected to the inside of the tubular mold 10, and the nano-silica sol is input through the through-type circular hole 2. The cylindrical nesting part 1 is covered with a sample-preparing rubber film 14, and the other end of the sample-preparing rubber film 14 is flanged and sleeved on the tubular mold 10.

[0029] First, test sand is placed in layers in the sample preparation rubber film 14, and then the nano-silica sol 13 is sucked into the external peristaltic pump 11, and then the external peristaltic pump 11 sends the nano-silica sol 13 into the tubular mold 10 through the peristaltic pump rubber tube 12, and the nano-silica sol 13 overflows the tube mouth, and this state is maintained for a period of time to wait for the nano-silica sol 13 to gel and form a sample, and the triaxial instrument is separated for sample preparation. There is no need to put the rubber film required by the triaxial instrument after the sample is solidified, which avoids the damage to the sample that may be caused when the rubber film is put in, ensures the reliability of the experimental results, and improves the efficiency of the instrument.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the bottom of the base 9 is provided with a round hole bottom corner 4 to facilitate the base 9 to be connected to the peristaltic pump rubber tube 12, and the tubular mold 10 is provided with a sleeve bottom corner 8 to facilitate connection with the base 9 when nested with the base 9.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the tubular mold 10 includes a tubular sample sleeve 6 and a drainage groove 7. The tubular sample sleeve 6 is nested with the cylindrical nesting portion 1. The drainage groove 7 is inclined around the tubular sample sleeve 6. A drainage port for collecting and discharging overflowing waste liquid is provided at the lowest point of the drainage groove 7. During the curing process of the sample in the tubular sample sleeve 6, the overflowing waste liquid flows into the drainage groove 7 and is discharged from the drainage port into a pre-placed open container.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, after the tubular sample preparation sleeve 6 is nested, the internal space size is the same as the required size of the sample, and the through-type circular hole 2 penetrates the base 9 from the vertical geometric center point.

[0033] The through circular hole 2 of the base 9 and the tubular mold 10 are connected with a peristaltic pump rubber hose 12 , the peristaltic pump rubber hose 12 is connected with the output end of an external peristaltic pump 11 , and the input end of the external peristaltic pump 11 is connected to the nano-silica sol through the peristaltic pump rubber hose 12 . Example

[0034] Based on Example 1, an implementation of a cylindrical nesting portion is provided.

[0035] A circular fine-pore nylon mesh 15 is arranged on the upper part of the cylindrical nesting part 1 , and the circular fine-pore nylon mesh 15 is used to prevent sample preparation sand and soil from entering the through-type circular hole 2 .

[0036] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that a circular fine-pore nylon mesh 15 is provided to prevent sample preparation sand from entering the through-type circular hole 2 to prevent the sample preparation sand from clogging the through-type circular hole 2 and affecting the nano-silica sol 13 from entering the tubular mold 10.

[0037] Working principle and process:

[0038] (1) Place the circular fine-pore nylon mesh 15 on the upper plane of the cylindrical nesting part 1, and then firmly fit the cylindrical nesting part 1 on one end of the sample-preparing rubber film 14, so that the sample-preparing rubber film 14 and the cylindrical nesting part 1 pass through the tubular sample-preparing sleeve 6 as a whole, thereby completing the nesting of the base 9 and the tubular mold 10.

[0039] (2) The portion of the other end of the sample-preparing rubber film 14 that protrudes from the tubular sample-preparing sleeve 6 is flanged and put on the upper end of the tubular sample-preparing sleeve 6, and then the peristaltic pump rubber tube 12 is connected to the suction end of the external peristaltic pump 11 and the nano-silica sol 13, and the pump outlet end of the external peristaltic pump 11 and the through-type circular hole 2 are connected. During the process, the air tightness of each connection with the base 9 and the tubular mold 10 must be ensured. Then, the device is placed vertically on a plane, and an open container is placed at the drainage position of the drainage trough 7.

[0040] (3) Add the test sand and soil into the sample preparation rubber membrane 14 in layers until the upper surface of the sand and soil is flush with the upper end of the tubular sample preparation sleeve 6. Connect the external peristaltic pump 11 to the power supply and turn on the switch to allow the nano-silica sol 13 to slowly and evenly penetrate the sample from bottom to top.

[0041] (4) When the nano-silica sol 13 penetrates to the top of the sample, the external peristaltic pump 11 is kept working for five minutes to ensure the uniform penetration of the sample by the nano-silica sol 13. The overflowing waste liquid flows into the drainage trough 7 and is discharged from the drainage port into the pre-placed open container.

[0042] (5) Turn off the external peristaltic pump 11, pull out the peristaltic pump rubber tube 12 located at the through-hole 2, and then immediately close the through-hole 2 to ensure air tightness, and keep the sample preparation device stationary before the nano-silica sol 13 gels.

[0043] (6) After the nano-silica sol 13 is gelled, the rubber film 14 on the upper end of the tubular sample preparation sleeve 6 is turned back, and the tubular mold 10 is slowly and vertically taken out. Then, the middle of the rubber film 14 is gently held with one hand, and the base 9 is slowly twisted with the other hand to take out the base 9 and the circular fine-pore nylon mesh 15 placed on the base 9. This completes the sample preparation process. The prepared sample can be directly equipped with filter paper and permeable stone for triaxial test, or further maintenance and strengthening can be carried out.
