[0002] For linear structures such as highways and railways in seasonal freezing regions, the subgrade or foundation soil freezes and thaws with the alternation of winter and summer cold and warm. This phenomenon is called freeze-thaw cycle. A series of freeze-thaw effects deteriorate the resilient modulus of highway subgrade soil, increase the additional bending tensile stress at the bottom of the subbase of the pavement structure, and cause excessive plastic deformation of the subgrade under the action of vehicle loads, thus leading to premature fatigue failure of the subbase and reducing the service life of the highway pavement.

[0003] However, in the existing devices, the samples are directly affected. For example, water is directly injected into the highway subgrade soil, and after injection, the interior of the highway subgrade soil is heated or the highway subgrade soil is directly stored in a freezing device for freeze-thaw cycle. Due to the too strong determination of measurement, the actual situation cannot be truly reflected, resulting in a deviation between actual use and experiment.

[0031] When the high-automation highway subgrade freeze-thaw cycle test device is in use, highway subgrade is placed in the test box 6. At this time, the temperature and humidity inside the test chamber body 1 are obtained by observing the temperature and humidity monitor 4 arranged on the left surface of the test chamber body 1. When the temperature is too high, the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 8 is connected to an external power supply, and at this time the semiconductor refrigerates.

[0033] Working principle: When the highly automated highway subgrade freeze-thaw cycle test device is in use, highway subgrade is placed in the test box 6. At this time, the temperature and humidity inside the test chamber body 1 are obtained by observing the temperature and humidity monitor 4 arranged on the left surface of the test chamber body 1. When the temperature is too high, the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 8 is connected to an external power supply. At this time, the semiconductor refrigerates, and the produced cold air is transmitted through the heat conduction sheet 9, and the cold air is transmitted into the test chamber body 1 through the cold air fan 10 for cooling treatment to simulate the cold air effect in nature. When the temperature inside the test chamber body 1 is too low, at this time, the infrared heating lamp 5 is connected to an external power supply, and the highway subgrade is heated by irradiating the highway subgrade with the infrared heating lamp 5 to simulate the lighting effect of the sun on the highway subgrade in nature. By starting the water pump 13, the water pump 13 operates to form a negative pressure effect in the water delivery pipe 14. At this time, the water in the water storage tank 12 enters the spray pipe gallery 15 through the water delivery pipe 14 to spray the highway subgrade in the test box 6 to simulate the rainfall effect in nature. At this time, the muddy water flowing from the diversion holes 16 and the diversion plate 7 into the storage box 17 of the highway subgrade can be observed to observe the viscosity between the soils after freeze-thaw cycles, so as to obtain the threshold value of soil erosion.
