Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of geotechnical tests on water-rock reactions, and particularly to an experimental device for measuring the three-dimensional expansion deformation of geotechnical materials under the action of water-rock based on machine vision. Background Technique

[0002] In nature, the water-rock interaction is a common phenomenon, which is the interaction between water and rocks (including geotechnical materials). This interaction involves the changes in the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of rocks by water. Here, rocks refer to sedimentary rocks, metamorphic rocks, igneous rocks in various senses, and also include various soils, muds, argillaceous materials, etc. Some scholars have summarized the impacts of water-rock interaction as the following: geotechnical softening, seepage pressure effect, infiltration piping, hydraulic scouring, and geotechnical water loss consolidation, drying and disintegration. Geotechnical materials have the characteristics of being easy to soften and disintegrate when encountering water, swelling and deforming when absorbing water, shrinking and cracking when losing water, having strong hydrophilicity, poor water permeability, and being easy to weather. Therefore, geotechnical materials often produce a series of impacts when encountering water. For example, in soft rock areas under the influence of factors such as rainfall, large expansion deformations often occur, eventually leading to phenomena such as landslides, collapses, and weathering spalling. Therefore, it is very meaningful to measure and analyze the process of geotechnical water-rock expansion deformation.

[0003] Generally, traditional experiments for measuring water-rock expansion deformation often use dial gauges, laser rangefinders, etc. to make the sample into a cylinder and restrict its lateral deformation to measure its axial deformation. In this way, the influence brought by lateral deformation is often ignored, and the deformation generated when geotechnical materials encounter water cannot be restored most realistically.

[0004] Machine vision is a technology that uses machines to replace human eyes for measurement and judgment. It converts the target into an image signal through a camera, and then uses an image processing system to operate and analyze these signals to extract the characteristic information of the target, for realizing the recognition, analysis and processing of objects, images and scenes. Using machine vision technology to achieve real-time shooting of the states of the sample at different stages when encountering water, through analysis, processing, modeling and three-dimensional coordinate comparison, the three-dimensional expansion deformation of geotechnical materials can be measured more accurately. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide an experimental device for measuring the three-dimensional expansion deformation of geotechnical materials under the action of water-rock based on machine vision aiming at the deficiencies in the above-mentioned existing technology.

An enhanced transparent glass cover container is placed on the bottom platform. A drain pipe is opened at the bottom of the enhanced transparent glass cover container. Columns are symmetrically arranged at two corners of the bottom platform. A camera assembly is installed on the columns. A limit block is bolted to the top of the columns. A cross beam is installed between the two columns. The cross beam is provided with a transmission line hanging ring and an installation slot. An electric lifting experimental platform is installed in the installation slot.

[0007] The camera assembly includes a camera, a rotating part, a telescopic rod, a connecting part, a stabilizing knob, and a camera transmission line. The connecting part is arranged on the column.

The camera is installed on the rotating part and can rotate. The camera is connected to the camera transmission line and is signal-connected to a computer. The camera transmission line is hung on the transmission line hanging ring.

[0008] The electric lifting experimental platform includes a lifting motor, an electric telescopic rod, an experimental disc cross beam, a vertical rod, a bearing tray, an enhanced glass bottom plate, a fixing nut, and an annular force sensor. The lifting motor is fixed in the middle of the cross beam through the installation slot. The lower part of the lifting motor is fixedly connected to the electric telescopic rod. The electric telescopic rod is controlled by the lifting motor to axially expand and contract. The lower part of the electric telescopic rod is installed with the experimental disc cross beam. The experimental disc cross beam rotates along the axis of the electric telescopic rod. The two ends of the experimental disc cross beam are perforated and pass through the vertical rods. An annular force sensor is fixed on the upper part of the vertical rods. The lower part of the vertical rods passes through the holes on both sides of the bearing tray and is fixed at both ends of the bearing tray through the fixing nut. The enhanced glass bottom plate is placed on the annular groove arranged in the bearing tray.

[0009] A water inlet pipe is installed on the experimental disc cross beam. A spray head is arranged below the water inlet pipe.

[0010] The enhanced glass bottom plate is provided with water permeable holes.

[0011] The annular force sensor is connected to a sensor transmission line and is signal-connected to a computer. The sensor transmission line is hung on the transmission line hanging ring.

[0012] In the above technical solution, the technical effects and advantages provided by the present utility model are:

[0013] The mass of the experimental sample and the mass of the sample after the spray head sprays water stably are measured by using the annular force sensor, so as to calculate the different water content states of the sample, which is convenient for measuring the expansion deformation of the sample in different water content states.

[0014] Through the connecting piece, telescopic rod and rotating piece in the camera assembly, the up, down, left and right telescoping of the camera and the axial rotation along the direction of the rotating piece are ensured. The position of the sample is finely adjusted by using the electric telescopic rod and the cross beam of the experimental plate in the electric lifting experimental platform, so as to realize the multi-angle real-time shooting of the sample.

Columns 4 are symmetrically arranged at two corners of the bottom platform 1 to save the experimental space. A camera assembly is installed on the columns 4, a cross beam 6 is installed between the columns 4, and a limit block 5 is bolted to the top of the column 4 to prevent the cross beam 6 from exceeding the top. The cross beam 6 is provided with an installation groove 62, and an electric lifting experimental platform is installed in the installation groove 62.

[0029] Furthermore, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, the camera assembly includes: a camera 31, a rotating member 32, a telescopic rod 33, a connecting member 34, a stabilizing knob 341, and a camera transmission line 35. The connecting member 34 is provided on the column 4 and can axially expand and contract on the column 4, and the relative position is fixed by tightening the stabilizing knob 341.

[0036] Step 3: Adjust the camera assembly to ensure that the sample can be clearly photographed from three angles and three dimensions. Fix the adjusted position with the stabilizing knob 341. Turn on the camera 31 and check whether the image is clear on the computer 8. Continue to adjust the position until it is clear and then fix it again.

[0037] Step 4: Use the ring force sensor to measure the mass of the sample in the initial dry state, and observe and record the mass in the dry state and the initial image with the computer.

[0038] Step 5: Use the spray head 792 to spray an appropriate amount of water onto the sample. After the moisture content of the sample reaches the experimental requirement, turn off the spray head 792, and continuously observe and record the images of the sample.

[0039] Step 6: After the experiment is completed, remove and place the sample, and use the drain pipe 21 to drain the water in the transparent glass cover container 2, and tidy up and clean the experimental device.

[0040] Step 7: Finally, perform 3D modeling using the real-time data recorded by the computer 8 and analyze the swelling deformation of the sample.
