[0030] Refer to Figures 1 to 4 , in an embodiment of the present utility model, an automatic water adding and mixing device for preparing a compaction test soil sample includes:
[0031] A base 100;
[0032] The cylinder body 200 includes a conveying cylinder 210 and a stirring cylinder 220 that are in communication with each other. An inlet opening 211 is provided on the outer wall of the end of the conveying cylinder 210 away from the stirring cylinder 220. A liquid inlet hole 212 is provided on the outer wall of the end of the conveying cylinder 210 near the stirring cylinder 220. A discharge door is provided at the lower part of the stirring cylinder 220;
[0033] The working part 300 includes a working shaft. The working shaft is arranged through the central axis of the cylinder body 200. In the length direction, the working shaft includes a connected conveying section shaft 310 and a stirring section shaft 320. The conveying section shaft 310 corresponds to the conveying cylinder 210, and the stirring section shaft 320 corresponds to the stirring cylinder 220. A conveying screw 311 is spirally arranged on the outer wall of the conveying section shaft 310, and stirring paddles 321 are arranged on the outer periphery of the stirring section shaft 320;
[0034] The motor 400 is arranged corresponding to the working part 300 and drives the working part 300 to rotate;
[0035] The silo 500 is connected to the inlet opening 211;
[0036] The liquid delivery pump 600 has its outlet end in communication with the liquid inlet hole 212.
[0037] In the prior art, during the process of adding water and mixing soil samples, there are problems of uneven mixing, low mixing efficiency, and inaccurate mixing.
[0038] In the present utility model, the base 100 serves as the foundation of the whole and plays a supporting role. It is not limited that the base 100 is an integral structure, and it can also be separated.
[0039] The cylinder body 200 includes a conveying cylinder 210 and a stirring cylinder 220 that are in communication with each other. A liquid inlet hole 212 is provided on the outer wall of the end of the conveying cylinder 210 near the stirring cylinder 220. An inlet opening 211 is provided on the outer wall of the end of the conveying cylinder 210 away from the stirring cylinder 220. A discharge door is provided at the lower part of the stirring cylinder 220. The soil is conveyed in the conveying cylinder 210 towards the stirring cylinder 220. The soil sample enters the conveying cylinder 210 from the inlet opening 211 and moves in the conveying cylinder 210 towards the stirring cylinder 220; and when about to enter the stirring cylinder 220, the water flowing in from the liquid inlet hole 212 is evenly mixed into the soil sample. After being completely mixed in the stirring cylinder 220, the discharge door can be opened to discharge the soil sample.
[0040] The working section 300 includes a working shaft which is arranged through the central axis of the cylinder body 200. The working shaft includes a conveying section shaft 310 and a stirring section shaft 320 which are connected to each other in the length direction. The conveying section shaft 310 corresponds to the conveying cylinder 210, and the stirring section shaft 320 corresponds to the stirring cylinder 220. A conveying screw 311 is spirally arranged on the outer wall of the conveying section shaft 310, and stirring paddles 321 are arranged on the outer periphery of the stirring section shaft 320. When the working section 300 rotates, the cooperation between the conveying screw 311 and the conveying cylinder 210 realizes spiral feeding, and the stirring paddles 321 realize the stirring effect in the stirring cylinder 220. The shape of the stirring paddles 321 can be various and is not limited herein, as long as the stirring effect can be achieved.
[0041] The motor 400 is arranged corresponding to the working section 300 and drives the working section 300 to rotate. Through the operation of one motor 400, the effects of feeding and stirring are completed.
[0042] The silo 500 is connected to the feed inlet 211, and the soil sample in the silo 500 naturally falls and enters the conveying cylinder 210 from the feed inlet 211.
[0043] The outlet end of the liquid delivery pump 600 is communicated with the liquid inlet hole 212. The liquid delivery pump 600 pumps water into the liquid inlet hole 212. The type selection of the liquid delivery pump 600 can be various, as long as the conveying can be completed.
[0044] In summary, the cylinder body 200 is divided into a conveying cylinder 210 and a stirring cylinder 220, which serve as the bases for conveying and stirring respectively; the soil sample in the silo 500 naturally falls and enters the conveying cylinder 210 from the feed inlet 211 on the conveying cylinder 210, moves in the conveying cylinder 210 towards the stirring cylinder 220, and when about to enter the stirring cylinder 220, the water flowing in from the liquid inlet hole 212 is evenly mixed into the soil sample, and the water is evenly added to the soil sample in the conveying cylinder 210, and a sufficient mixing process is completed in the stirring cylinder 220; when the working section 300 rotates, the cooperation between the conveying screw 311 and the conveying cylinder 210 realizes spiral feeding, and the stirring paddles 321 realize the stirring effect in the stirring cylinder 220. Through the operation of one motor 400, the effects of feeding and stirring are completed.
[0045] In one embodiment, the distance between the outer peripheral wall of the conveying section shaft 310 and the inner peripheral wall of the conveying cylinder 210 is 2 to 5 centimeters.
[0046] In this embodiment, the dimensional relationship between the diameter of the conveying section shaft 310 and the inner diameter of the conveying cylinder 210 is defined, aiming to reduce the thickness of the conveyed soil sample in the conveying cylinder 210 and ensure the uniform water addition effect of the liquid delivery pump 600. When a relatively high sample delivery efficiency is specifically required, only the rotation speed of the motor 400 needs to be increased and the pumping speed of the liquid delivery pump 600 needs to be matched.
[0047] In one embodiment, the number of the liquid inlet holes 212 is multiple, and they are arranged at intervals of 2 to 5 cm in the length direction of the conveying cylinder 210, and the number of the liquid inlet holes 212 is 2 to 5.
[0048] In this embodiment, the number of the liquid inlet holes 212 is set to be multiple, preferably two to three specifically, so that the inflow speed of water in a single liquid inlet hole 212 will not be too high. When the water inflow speed in a single liquid inlet hole 212 is too high, it is not conducive to soil conveyance, and at the same time, uneven mixing of water may also occur. Therefore, by increasing the number of the liquid inlet holes 212, the uniformity of the mixed water is further improved.
[0049] In one embodiment, the conveying section shaft 310 and the stirring section shaft 320 are detachably connected.
[0050] In this embodiment, the working shaft is set as a detachable structure, which reduces the processing difficulty and provides convenience for both installation and maintenance. Especially considering that at the positions of the working shaft corresponding to the conveying cylinder 210 and the stirring cylinder 220, the functional structures connected to the outer periphery are very different (such as a conveying spiral structure and a stirring paddle), splitting the working shaft into the conveying section shaft 310 and the stirring section shaft 320 is also convenient for the separate processing of the functional structures on their outer peripheries.
[0051] In one embodiment, the conveying cylinder 210 and the stirring cylinder 220 are detachable structures.
[0052] In this embodiment, the conveying cylinder 210 and the stirring cylinder 220 are set as detachable structures, which is convenient for cleaning the inside of the stirring cylinder 220, and also facilitates the cleaning of the related structures inside the stirring cylinder 220. At the same time, it provides convenience for installation, maintenance, model replacement, etc. The specific connection method between the conveying cylinder 210 and the stirring cylinder 220 can be a flange or a clamp, etc., which is not limited.
[0053] In one embodiment, the liquid delivery pump 600 is a peristaltic pump type.
[0054] In this embodiment, the model of the liquid delivery pump 600 is limited to a peristaltic pump, which has the advantages of stable operation and convenient adjustment. Especially considering that the amount of water added to the test soil sample is not large, it is very convenient to use a peristaltic pump that can complete fine adjustment under low conveying conditions.
[0055] In one embodiment, a water tank is provided on the base 100, and the inlet end of the liquid delivery pump 600 is communicated with the water tank.
[0056] In this embodiment, a water tank is directly provided. Compared with pumping a set amount of water by the liquid delivery pump 600, directly pouring the set amount of water into the water tank, the working progress of the liquid delivery pump 600 can be directly limited and observed, and to a certain extent, the abnormality of the water addition amount is avoided. During the process of the embodiment, the water tank can be set to be closed or even transparent, so that the water addition work can be optimized.
[0057] Refer to Figures 3 to 4 , in one embodiment, a avoidance space of 120 degrees to 180 degrees is formed on the outer circumference of the stirring paddle 321 on the stirring section shaft 320.
[0058] In this embodiment, the circumferential range of the stirring paddle 321 is limited, which is convenient for the final blanking process. Preferably, the distribution angle of the stirring paddle 321 on the outer circumference of the stirring section shaft 320 is 180 degrees. While facilitating blanking, the stirring effect can be maintained as much as possible. For example, the stirring paddle 321 includes a plurality of sub-stirring blades distributed in the circumferential direction, and the plurality of sub-stirring blades are arranged only within 180 degrees in the circumferential direction of the stirring section shaft 320.
[0059] Refer to Figures 3 to 4 , in one embodiment, the connecting end of the material bin 500 and the feed inlet 211 is in a funnel shape.
[0060] In this embodiment, the shape of the lower end of the material bin 500 is limited, so that the efficiency of the material in the material bin 500 flowing into the feed inlet 211 is relatively high. Specifically, the funnel shape can be the shape of a conical funnel or a polygonal funnel shape, which is not limited.
[0061] In one embodiment, the discharge door is arranged on the end face of the stirring cylinder 220 away from the conveying cylinder 210.
[0062] In this embodiment, the position of the discharge door is limited. The discharge door is arranged on the end face of the stirring cylinder 220, which is convenient for stirring and also for blanking.
[0063] In summary, for the automatic water-adding and mixing device for preparing compaction test soil samples provided by the present utility model, the cylinder body 200 is divided into a conveying cylinder 210 and a mixing cylinder 220, which serve as the bases for conveying and mixing respectively; the soil sample in the material bin 500 naturally falls and enters the conveying cylinder 210 from the feeding port 211 on the conveying cylinder 210, moves in the conveying cylinder 210 towards the mixing cylinder 220, and when about to enter the mixing cylinder 220, the water flowing in through the liquid inlet hole 212 is evenly mixed into the soil sample, the water is evenly added to the soil sample in the conveying cylinder 210, and a sufficient mixing process is completed in the mixing cylinder 220; when the working part 300 rotates, the cooperation between the conveying screw 311 and the conveying cylinder 210 realizes screw feeding, and the mixing paddle 321 realizes the mixing effect in the mixing cylinder 220. Through the operation of one motor 400, the effects of feeding and mixing are completed.
[0064] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and do not thus limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present utility model, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, shall similarly be included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
