Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mechanical property testing equipment for pipe piles, and particularly relates to an impact test equipment for pile specimens. Background Technique

[0002] In the fields of civil and construction engineering, concrete pipe piles have become an indispensable key element in constructing bridge hubs, seaport facilities, skyscrapers, and various industrial and civil infrastructure due to their excellent load-bearing efficiency and long-lasting durability. PHC pipe piles are prestressed high-strength concrete pipe piles, which not only bear huge static and dynamic loads but also face the tests of complex and changing natural environments. Their quality stability is directly related to the safety and service life of the overall project.

[0003] With the continuous progress of construction technology and the continuous expansion of project scale, more stringent requirements are put forward for the performance indicators of concrete pipe piles. Especially during the construction process of using the traditional hammer-driven pile sinking method, the pipe piles need to withstand continuous high-intensity impact loads, which can easily cause microcracks inside the pile body, leading to serious problems such as pile body fracture, pile head damage, and vertical cracks. This not only affects the construction progress but also may pose potential safety hazards.

[0004] Therefore, conducting scientific impact performance tests on concrete pipe piles has become a key link in improving material quality, optimizing engineering design, and ensuring construction quality. Impact tests are an important means to evaluate the impact performance of concrete pipe piles. By simulating the impact loads that may be encountered in actual projects, the concrete solid components are impacted in the laboratory, and the impact resistance of the pipe piles is judged based on their test process, relevant parameters, and failure states. At the same time, the dynamic response, failure mode, and ultimate bearing capacity of the pipe piles are detected, providing a scientific basis for continuous material optimization, engineering design, and construction quality control.

[0005] The prior art discloses a magnetic switch-controlled drop hammer type flexural impact test bench. It is adsorbed on the cantilever through a magnetic switch, and then the center of the impact hammer is manually adjusted to let the impact hammer fall freely. When using this equipment, the manual adjustment of the centroid depends on the experience of the operator, and the data reliability is low. On the other hand, the impact hammer may shift during the free fall process, and the force application point and force application direction will also change accordingly. Summary of the Invention

[0034] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the impact test equipment for pipe pile specimens of the present invention includes a frame body, a lifting device, a drop hammer assembly 16 and an electromagnetic device 15; the frame body includes a frame 2 and a base 3. The frame 2 is spliced by steel sections and is a gantry bracket. The base 3 is installed at the bottom of the gantry bracket. An adjustable horizontal position bearing platform 11 is provided at the bottom of the frame body. The bearing platform 11 is directly placed on the horizontal ground to release the impact force to the ground. The bearing platform 11 is used to place the specimen 8; a leveling seat 10 is installed at the bottom of the frame body. The leveling seat 10 adjusts the height up and down by rotation to ensure the equipment is horizontal after installation.

[0035] As Figure 2 shown, a lifting device mounting seat 5 is provided at the top of the frame 2. A hoist 14 is installed on the lifting device mounting seat 5. The hoist 14 can be of a winch mechanism or a chain hoist type; there are two guide columns 17 between the lifting device mounting seat 5 and the bottom of the frame body. The lifting device mounting seat 5 installs a guide column fixing plate 13 through a connecting rod 1. One end of the guide column 17 is installed on the guide column fixing plate 13; the other end of the guide column 17 is connected to the bottom of the frame body; a rope guide seat 6 is provided on the guide column fixing plate 13. The steel wire rope of the hoist 14 passes through the rope guide seat 6 and is connected to the electromagnetic device 15.

The drop hammer assembly 16 is installed above the specimen 8 through the guide column 17, and the drop hammer assembly 16 can move axially along the guide column 17. The lifting device mounting seat 5 and the guide column 17 are connected and fixed through the connecting rod 1 to form a stable overall structure.

[0036] A top protection ring 12 is installed at the upper end of the guide column 17, and a buffer structure is provided at the lower end of the guide column 17.

[0038] The electromagnetic device 15 adsorbs and releases the drop hammer assembly 16 using electromagnetism. The electromagnetic device 15 is connected to the hoist 14 through a steel wire rope. When the electromagnetic device 15 descends to contact the top surface of the hammer body 16-1, electricity is applied to generate magnetic force to adsorb the hammer body. After the hoist 14 winds up the rope to lift the hammer body 16-1 to the designated position, the power is cut off to release the magnetic force, and the hammer body 16-1 freely falls to impact the test piece 8. The test piece 8 is mounted on the mounting seat 9, and a pile cap 7 is provided above the test piece 8 to disperse the impact load and prevent the test piece 8 from being directly damaged.

In the embodiment, the bearing platform limiting rods 4 are provided in four directions of the bearing platform 11, which can limit the movement of the bearing platform 11 and facilitate the planar adjustment of the bearing platform 11. Adjusting the bearing platform limiting rod 4 adjusts the horizontal position when the bearing platform 11 is first installed or the accuracy is calibrated; during impact, adjusting the bearing platform limiting rod 4 limits the bearing platform 11 to prevent it from moving during impact.

[0040] It also includes an electric control system 19 and sensors.

During the trial operation, pay attention to observing the operating state of the equipment and whether various parameters meet the requirements. Conduct debugging on the drop hammer assembly 16. Lift the drop hammer assembly 16 to a certain height and then release it, and observe whether its descent process along the guide column is stable without shaking. At the same time, check whether the power on and off of the electromagnetic device are accurate and reliable and whether the working states of the protection spring and the top protection ring are normal.

[0043] After the equipment debugging is completed, the impact test on the PHC pipe pile specimen can be carried out:

[0044] Install the specimen 8 on the mounting seat 9 and fix the pile cap 7. Then, after the hoist 14 is controlled by the electric control system 19 to bring the electromagnetic device 15 into contact with the top surface of the hammer body of the drop hammer assembly 16, the electric control system 19 controls the electromagnetic device 15 to be energized to generate magnetic force, and the entire drop hammer assembly 16 is adsorbed through the hammer body 16-1;

[0045] The electric control system 19 controls the hoist 14 to take in the rope, and the electromagnetic device 15 drives the drop hammer assembly 16 to vertically rise along the guide column 17 to the specified position. During the lifting process, pay attention to observing whether the tension state of the steel wire rope and the guiding function of the wire guiding seat are normal.

[0046] When the drop hammer assembly 16 is lifted to the specified height, the electric control system 19 controls the electromagnetic device 15 to cut off the power and release the magnetic force, and the electromagnetic device 15 vertically descends along the guide column 17, and the hammer body 16-1 strikes the specimen pile cap 7 to achieve the impact on the specimen 8;

[0047] Repeat the operation to achieve the reciprocating impact test on the specimen 8. During the impact process, record key parameters such as the impact load and the impact speed.

[0048] It should be understood that although this specification is described according to each embodiment, not every embodiment only contains an independent technical solution. This narrative way of the specification is only for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
