Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of frozen soil detection, in particular to a direct-buried in-situ test device for frozen soil frost heaving force. Background Technique
[0002] Under natural conditions, soil cannot reach an absolutely dense state, and the pores in the soil are often filled with water and gas. When the soil moisture content is high enough and the environmental temperature is low enough, the water in the soil will change from a liquid state to a solid state, and then frozen soil is formed. Frozen soil is a special type of soil. The seasonal change of the water state in the soil will form seasonal frozen soil, and the water in the soil remains in a solid state all year round to form permafrost. Due to the change of the water state in the soil, the volume of the frozen soil changes, which in turn causes soil frost heaving. The occurrence of frost heaving will cause changes in the internal stress of the soil. We call this internal stress caused by frost heaving the frost heaving force. When the frost heaving force reaches a certain scale, it will cause irreversible diseases in buildings, pipelines, highways, railways, tunnels, etc. Therefore, in the exploration of frozen soil areas, it is necessary to evaluate the degree of frozen soil frost heaving force.
[0003] The common direct-buried in-situ test device for frozen soil frost heaving force consists of a flange, a measuring rod and a sensor. When in use, the sensor is first installed inside the measuring rod, and then the measuring rod is inserted into the frozen soil to ensure that the device is tightly combined with the frozen soil to accurately simulate the natural state of the frozen soil. Then, the data acquisition system is started to record the temperature and frost heaving force data of the frozen soil in real time.
[0004] However, in this method, since the installation position of the sensor inside the measuring rod is fixed, and since the measuring rod is inserted into the frozen soil when measuring the frost heaving force, it is not convenient to adjust. Therefore, the sensor at a single point position cannot capture the changes in frost heaving force at different depths and angles, which is not conducive to obtaining more comprehensive and accurate data, reduces the accuracy of the frost heaving force test data, increases the test error, and cannot meet the working requirements of frozen soil detection. For this reason, a direct-buried in-situ test device for frozen soil frost heaving force is proposed. Content of the Utility Model

[0017] (III) Beneficial effects
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the utility model provides a direct-buried in-situ test device for frost heaving force of frozen soil, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] This in-situ test device for frost heaving force of directly buried frozen soil drives the rotation of the driving gear through a motor, so that the rotation of the toothed ring can be driven through the transmission gear, enabling the circumferential angle of the adjustable mounting ring and the pressure sensor to be adjusted. At the same time, the up and down movement of the flange and the mounting cylinder can be driven by rotating the lead screw, enabling the up and down vertical positions of the pressure sensor and the temperature sensor to be adjusted. Furthermore, through multi-directional movement, the pressure sensor can capture the changes in frost heaving force at different depths and angles, which helps to obtain more comprehensive and accurate data. And the dynamic characteristics of the pressure sensor can ensure effective measurement at different stages and different stress states of the frozen soil, improving the representativeness and reliability of the data. Also, during the frost heaving process of the frozen soil, the stress distribution may be uneven, and the flexible movement of the sensor can help reduce the test errors caused by fixed positions. And through the transmission between the transmission gear, the driving gear and the toothed ring, compared with directly rotating through the motor, it prevents the pressure and thrust generated by the frost heaving force from directly acting on the rotor of the motor, ensuring the safety and stability of the device operation.
