[0022] Next, in combination with the embodiments of the present utility model, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0023] With the country's protection of environmental natural resources and the depletion of raw materials in the construction industry, more and more artificial sand is being developed and utilized in large quantities. As a test parameter for detecting impurities contained in various fine aggregates such as artificial sand, the sand equivalent test will become more and more important. Therefore, the accuracy of the test results and the simplicity and portability of the test process will become crucial.

[0024] The existing sand equivalent test device needs to be suspended about 92 - 120 cm above the test bench and relies on the gravity of the flushing liquid itself to complete the flushing test, resulting in insufficient and unclean flushing of the test sample during the test, causing a relatively large error in the test results and affecting the accuracy of the test results. Please refer to Figures 1 - 4 , the embodiment provides a new type of sand equivalent test device, including a pressurized spray kettle 1 and a kettle lid 2 threadedly connected to the top of the pressurized spray kettle 1. A handle 3 for lifting the kettle is fixedly connected to the top of the kettle lid 2. Open the kettle lid 2 and add the prepared flushing liquid into the pressurized spray kettle 1, and then tighten the kettle lid 2 on the top of the pressurized spray kettle 1.

[0025] Reference Figure 3As shown, the existing sand equivalent test device needs to be suspended about 92 - 120 cm above the test bench, and the flushing test is completed by the gravity of the flushing liquid itself. This results in insufficient and incomplete flushing of the test sample during the test, causing relatively large errors in the test results and affecting the accuracy of the test results. To improve the accuracy of the test results, the following settings are made specifically. At the top of the kettle handle 3, there is a driving component 4 for pressurizing the flushing liquid in the pressurized spray kettle 1. The driving component 4 includes a pressurizing handle 41 provided at the top of the kettle handle 3. The bottom of the pressurizing handle 41 is fixedly connected with a reciprocating rod 42. The bottom of the kettle lid 2 is fixedly connected with a pressure application cylinder 43. The bottom end of the reciprocating rod 42 is fixedly connected with a piston 44 that is slidably connected to the inside of the pressure application cylinder 43. The inner wall of the pressure application cylinder 43 is fixedly connected with two limiting rings 45 from top to bottom. The piston 44 is arranged between the two limiting rings 45 to limit the vertical movement range of the piston 44. At the top of the kettle handle 3, there is a one-way intake pipe 46 fixedly communicating with the inside of the pressure application cylinder 43. The peripheral surface of the pressure application cylinder 43 is fixedly communicated with a one-way exhaust pipe 47. When the pressurizing handle 41 is reciprocally pressed, when the reciprocating rod 42 moves upward, the one-way exhaust pipe 47 closes and the one-way intake pipe 46 opens. The one-way intake pipe 46 inhales the outside air into the pressure application cylinder 43. When the reciprocating rod 42 moves downward, the one-way exhaust pipe 47 opens and the one-way intake pipe 46 closes. The one-way exhaust pipe 47 discharges the inhaled outside air into the flushing liquid for pressurization until the pressurizing handle 41 cannot be pressed down any further. At this time, the flushing has a certain amount of pressure, and the flushing liquid is convenient for floating up the soil particle impurities attached to the surface of the aggregate during the flushing process, which can make the test process have an obvious improvement effect and ensure more accurate test results.

[0026] Reference Figure 2 As shown, at the top end of the one-way intake pipe 46, there is an impurity blocking component 461 for preventing impurities in the air from entering the pressurized spray kettle 1 along with the air flow. The impurity blocking component 461 includes a mounting collar 4611 threadedly connected to the top end of the one-way intake pipe 46. The inside of the mounting collar 4611 is fixedly connected with a filter screen 4612. Before the one-way intake pipe 46 inhales the outside air into the pressure application cylinder 43, the impurities in the gas are intercepted by the filter screen 4612 to prevent the phenomenon of impurity pollution of the flushing liquid. When it is necessary to clean the filter screen 4612, rotate the mounting collar 4611 to disassemble the filter screen 4612 from the top end of the one-way intake pipe 46. After cleaning, rotate the mounting collar 4611 again to install the filter screen 4612 at the top end of the one-way intake pipe 46.

[0027] Reference Figure 4As shown, during the test, factors such as incomplete rinsing of the sample and inaccurate control of the amount of rinsing liquid used have a series of impacts on the test results, causing many uncontrollable human errors and problems with non-standard testing. In order to control the flow rate of the rinsing liquid, the following settings are made. Inside the pressurized spray kettle 1, there is a plastic hose 5 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the kettle handle 3. One end of the plastic hose 5 away from the kettle handle 3 is provided with a metal rinsing tube 6. Between the plastic hose 5 and the metal rinsing tube 6, there is a switch assembly 7 for controlling the flow rate of the rinsing liquid. The switch assembly 7 includes a connecting tube 73 fixedly connected and communicating with the plastic hose 5 and the metal rinsing tube 6. Inside the connecting tube 73, there is a water outlet hole 74. On the end face of the connecting tube 73, there is a pressing handle 71. The magnitude of the pressing displacement of the pressing handle 71 represents the flow rate of the flowing rinsing liquid. One end of the pressing handle 71 is fixedly connected with a flow control member 72. When the pressing handle 71 moves, it will drive the flow control member 72 to displace within the water outlet hole 74. The space occupied by the flow control member 72 within the water outlet hole 74 controls the flow rate of the rinsing liquid. The flow control member 72 is slidably sleeved inside the connecting tube 73. The outer wall of the flow control member 72 is sleeved with a spring 75. Both ends of the spring 75 are fixedly connected to the connecting tube 73 and the flow control member 72 respectively. When the pressing handle 71 is not under pressure, the spring 75 pushes the flow control member 72 to reset.

[0028] According to Figures 1 - 4 , add the prepared rinsing liquid into the pressurized spray kettle 1, then press the pressurizing handle 41 until it cannot be pressed any further. Slowly insert the metal rinsing tube 6 into the sample to be rinsed, slowly press the flow control switch assembly 7 by hand, and continuously rotate the metal rinsing tube 6 until the test ends.

[0029] This device has been verified through a large number of comparison tests. The results meet the requirements of Test Method for Sand Equivalent of Fine Aggregates T0334 - 2005 in the current industry standard JTG 3432 - 2024 "Test Procedures for Aggregates in Highway Engineering". Moreover, the test results are more accurate and intuitive. It has the characteristics of simple structure, reasonable design, economic applicability, and accurate testing, and has great significance for popularization.

[0030] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
