The erosion device is used to simulate the impact and grinding environment of the stilling basin structure in the actual project by water flow and foreign matters.

[0032] The water level control system 4 comprises a water tank 41 arranged outside the test box 1 and a water pump 42, the water outlet end of the water pump 42 is connected with a water injection pipe 43, the water injection pipe 43 penetrates through the water inlet 111 and extends into the test box 1, and is used to inject water into the test box 1, and a liquid level sensor is further fixed on the inner wall of the test box 1 and is used to monitor the water level height in the test box 1 in real time. Wherein, the water pump 42 and the liquid level sensor are electrically connected with the computer control system, and are used to automatically adjust the water level height in the test box 1.

[0033] The temperature control system comprises a refrigeration device 5, an infrared device 6 and a temperature sensor, the temperature sensor is fixed on the inner wall of the box body 11 and is used to monitor the temperature in the box body 11; the refrigeration device 5 is used to simulate the frost heaving environment of the test piece, the infrared device 6 is used to simulate the ice melting environment under the natural sunlight condition, and the refrigeration device 5 and the infrared device 6 are alternately used.

[0036] The operating principle of the durability testing device for repair materials and concrete structures of the present application is as follows: After placing a test specimen in a test chamber 1, close the chamber lid 12. Turn on the water level control system 4 to set the water level in the chamber 11. Close the water pipe valve 14, start the water pump 42, and inject water into the chamber 11. The water level in the chamber 11 is monitored and controlled in real time by a liquid level sensor. When the water level reaches the set height, injection stops, and the water level should be higher than the surface of the specimen.

[0038] Subsequently, the temperature control system is turned on. After the water surface in the test chamber 1 freezes to a suitable thickness and the ice layer is completely frozen, the refrigeration device 5 is kept running for one hour and then turned off. The infrared lamp 61 is turned on to increase the temperature in the test chamber 1 so that the ice surface melts, thereby simulating the freezing and melting process of concrete in a natural environment.
