Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of civil engineering, in particular to a microwave drying type rock and soil sample dry-wet cycle device. Background Art

[0002] In natural environments, the moisture content of rock and soil undergoes periodic and dynamic changes due to periodic rainfall and drought, as well as fluctuations in groundwater levels. Numerous studies have shown that the dynamic properties of rock and soil, such as strength, deformation, and stability, can significantly change during these wetting and drying cycles. These changes have a significant impact on the stability analysis and design of rock and soil in geological and environmental engineering.

[0003] By simulating wetting and drying cycles, we can more accurately assess the long-term performance and stability of geotechnical materials under natural conditions. This is of great value for engineering construction, geological disaster prevention, and environmental protection. Therefore, studying the dynamic characteristics of geotechnical materials under wetting and drying cycles not only helps us understand their fundamental behavior mechanisms but also provides reliable data support and theoretical basis for related projects.

At the same time, the rock and soil cannot be cooled after drying. The surface temperature of the rock and soil just after drying is high and cannot be taken out immediately, which affects work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0019] In order to have a clearer understanding of the technical features, purposes and effects of the present invention, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are now described with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following.

[0020] Reference Figure 1 As shown, a microwave drying type rock and soil sample dry-wet cycle device includes: a sealed box 9, the interior of the sealed box 9 is used to place the rock sample 7; a mass measuring unit, arranged inside the sealed box 9, for measuring the mass of the rock sample 7; a water storage unit, arranged on one side of the sealed box 9 and connected to the sealed box 9, for injecting water into and extracting water from the interior of the sealed box 9; a vacuum unit, arranged at the other end of the sealed box 9 and connected to the sealed box 9; wherein, a microwave generator 6 is installed on the inner top of the sealed box 9, fans 2 are installed on both sides of the sealed box 9, and a temperature and humidity sensor 12 is arranged on the top of the sealed box 9.

[0021] The present invention provides a technical solution for testing rock and soil. When testing rock and soil, a sealed box 9 is opened and the rock and soil is placed inside. A vacuum unit is then used to evacuate the interior of the sealed box 9. Saturated water is then injected into the sealed box 9 through a water storage unit to humidify the rock and soil. When drying the rock and soil, the water inside the sealed box 9 is pumped back into the water storage unit. The microwave generator 6 is then activated, and the microwave heating time and power are adjusted. A temperature and humidity sensor 12 monitors the temperature and humidity in the drying chamber in real time, transmitting the data to the microwave generator 6. Based on this real-time monitoring data, the microwave controller dynamically adjusts the microwave power and drying time to ensure uniformity and stability during the sample drying process. A mass testing unit accurately measures the mass change of the rock sample. When the mass of the mass testing unit remains unchanged, the rock sample is considered completely dried. When dry, the microwave generator 6 automatically stops, and the fan 2 is activated to cool the sample, completing the drying process. Repeating the saturation and drying processes of the rock sample completes the sample drying and wetting cycle, with the number of cycles set according to test requirements.

[0022] The water storage unit includes a water tank 1 arranged on one side of a sealed box body 9, a water pump 3 arranged between the water tank 1 and the sealed box body 9, and a water pipe connected to the water pump 3, wherein the two ends of the water pipe are respectively connected to the water tank 1 and the sealed box body 9, and a water control switch 4 is provided on the water pipe, which is arranged between the water tank 1 and the sealed box body 9 through the water control switch 4.

[0023] Water is injected into the water tank 1 in advance, and the water can be input into the sealed box body 9 through the water pump 3. The connection between the water tank 1 and the sealed box body 9 can be cut off by the provided water control switch 4, and the sealed box body 9 is sealed.

[0024] The vacuum unit includes: a vacuum pump 11 arranged on the other side of the sealed box 9; an air pipe installed on the vacuum pump 11; a switch 10 is installed on the top of the sealed box 9, and the free end of the air pipe is connected to the sealed box 9 through the switch 10.

[0025] The interior of the sealed box 9 can be evacuated into a vacuum state through the vacuum pump 11 provided in the air pipe, and the sealed box 9 can be sealed through the switch 10. After the switch 10 is closed, the sealed box is in a sealed state.

[0026] The mass measurement unit comprises: a mass measurement sensor 5 installed at the bottom of a sealed box 9; a water-permeable partition 8 installed on the top of the mass measurement sensor 5; wherein the top of the water-permeable partition 8 is used to place a rock sample 7.

[0027] The mass of the rock and soil mass can be measured by the provided mass measurement sensor 5 .

[0028] A water level line is provided on the inner wall of the sealed box 9 , and the water level line is located between the microwave generator 6 and the rock sample 7 .

[0029] Workflow: Open the top cover of the sealed box 9 and place the rock sample on the water-permeable partition 8. At this time, the water control switch 10 is in the closed state. Buckle the top cover of the sealed box 9, turn on the vacuum pump 11, turn on the vacuum switch 10, press the top cover so that the top cover and the box are tightly sealed under the action of the negative pressure of the vacuum pump, and then continue to vacuum for more than 2 hours. After the vacuum is completed, open the water control switch 3 to allow saturated water to enter from the bottom of the sealed box 9, gradually covering the rock sample and reaching the water level line below the fan 2. Then close the water control switch 3 and the vacuum switch 10, and turn off the vacuum pump 11;

[0030] Turn on the water control switch 3 and the microwave generator 6 switch 10, and adjust the microwave heating time and power. The temperature and humidity sensor 12 monitors the temperature and humidity in the drying chamber in real time and transmits the data to the microwave generator 6. Based on the real-time monitoring data, the microwave controller dynamically adjusts the microwave power and drying time to ensure the uniformity and stability of the sample drying process. The mass change of the rock sample is accurately measured by the mass testing unit. When the mass of the mass testing unit does not change, the rock sample is completely dried. When dryness is achieved, the microwave generator 6 automatically stops and the fan 2 is activated to cool the sample, completing the drying process. Repeating the saturation and drying processes of the rock sample completes the sample's wet-dry cycle. The number of cycles can be set according to the test requirements.

[0031] The above disclosure is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of the rights of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present invention still fall within the scope covered by the present invention.
