[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0026] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a conformal core cutting device includes a base mechanism, a measuring mechanism, a support mechanism mounted on the base, and a cutting machine 8; the sample to be cut is placed on the support mechanism; the measuring mechanism is located at the end of the base mechanism and includes a telescopic caliper 6; the support mechanism includes multiple coaxially distributed roller assemblies 4, each roller assembly 4 consisting of a set of mirror-symmetrically arranged roller units, each roller unit including a roller seat and rollers fixed on the roller seat.
[0027] The base includes a side base 5 and at least one standard base 3, wherein the side base 5 and the standard base 3 are detachably connected; when multiple standard bases 3 are included, adjacent standard bases 3 are detachably connected.
[0028] In this embodiment, adjacent standard bases 3 are inserted together, and the side base 5 is inserted together with the standard base 3.
[0029] In this embodiment, the standard base 3 is a plate-shaped structure, with at least one connecting block 32 formed at one end and at least one connecting hole 33 formed at the other end. The shape of the connecting hole 33 matches the shape of the connecting block 32. Preferably, the connecting block 32 is L-shaped, with the horizontal plate flush with the top surface of the base 3 and the vertical plate fixed perpendicularly to the bottom surface of the horizontal plate. The connecting hole 33 is an L-shaped hole composed of a shallow hole and a deep hole. When adjacent standard bases 3 are connected, the connecting block 32 is inserted into the connecting hole 33, the vertical plate of the connecting block 32 is inserted into the deep hole, and the horizontal plate is placed in the shallow hole. After insertion, the top surface of the connecting block 32 is flush with the top surface of the standard base 3. During the splicing operation, the L-shaped connecting block 32 at the front can be inserted into the connecting hole 33 at the rear. After the splicing is completed, the L-shaped connecting block 32 is restricted in the connecting hole 33, so that the standard bases 3 cannot wobble in the horizontal direction, and the connection is firm. The top surface of the L-shaped connecting block 32 and the top surface of the standard base 3 are on the same plane. After the cutting work is completed, the standard base 3 can be lifted up to complete the disassembly. Disassembly is convenient and the standard base 3 can be stored after disassembly.
[0030] In this embodiment, the standard base 3 is provided with support legs 31 at the bottom. Preferably, the standard base 3 is provided with four support legs 31, and the support legs 31 are located at the four corners of the standard base 3.
[0031] In this embodiment, the side base 5 is a plate-shaped structure, with at least one connector identical to the connecting block 32 formed at one end to allow for insertion with the standard base 3, and a receiving cavity formed on the side wall of the other end for accommodating the measuring mechanism; the bottom of the side base 5 is provided with support legs.
[0032] The telescopic caliper 6 includes a caliper section 61 and a bottom sleeve 62. The bottom sleeve 62 is coaxially disposed in front of the receiving cavity of the side base 5 and the two are connected. The caliper section 61 is slidably connected to the receiving cavity of the side base 5 and the bottom sleeve 62.
[0033] The top of the ruler section 61 is provided with a scale line 611;
[0034] The bottom sleeve 62 has a threaded hole 621 at its top, which penetrates the top of the bottom sleeve 62. A positioning bolt 622 is screwed onto the threaded hole 621, and the length of the positioning bolt 622 is greater than the depth of the threaded hole 621. When stretching the ruler section 61, the positioning bolt 622 is loosened to allow the ruler section 61 to slide easily. After the ruler section 61 is stretched to the appropriate position, the positioning bolt 622 is tightened, and the bottom of the positioning bolt 622 presses against the top surface of the ruler section 61, restricting the movement of the ruler section 61. At this time, the top of the liner 2 is placed against the top surface of the cylinder 71, and the cutting machine 8 is started to cut to obtain a sample of precise length. When cutting the last section of the sample, an imbalance occurs due to its own weight, and the lighter end is prone to tilting. At this time, the column clamp 72 is locked to clamp the liner 2 and the core 1 with the cylinder 71, preventing tilting.
[0035] In this embodiment, the measuring mechanism is further provided with a baffle 7 at the front end of the ruler section 61. A cylinder 71 protrudes outward from the middle of the baffle 7, and a column hoop 72 is provided on the outer wall of the cylinder 71. Before cutting, the ruler section 61 is first pulled out of the cavity so that the distance between the top of the cylinder 71 and the cutting machine 8 is equal to the desired segment length. The data at the contact point between the scale line 611 and the front end of the bottom sleeve 62 is this length.
[0036] The roller assembly 4 is located in the middle of the standard base 3; the roller seat consists of a base and a rotating shaft fixed on the base, with the rotating shaft inclined; the horizontal distance between the edges of the two rollers of the roller assembly 4 is less than the outer diameter of the sample to be cut; the sample to be cut is slidably connected to the roller assembly. During cutting, the sample to be cut is placed above the roller assembly 4, and the sample is pushed forward. As the sample moves, the roller assembly 4 rotates to reduce the force required to move the sample. Simultaneously, the roller assemblies 4 on each standard base 3 are aligned in a straight line. Placing the sample on the roller assembly 4 ensures the correct orientation of the sample as it moves forward, preventing it from shifting. The roller assembly 4 also restricts the lateral movement of the sample, preventing it from wobbling during cutting and resulting in a regular cut.
[0037] The cutting machine 8 has a protective sleeve 81 above the blade to prevent debris from the liner 2 and core 1 from flying. The cutting machine 8 is vertically oriented towards the sample to be cut. Cutting can be performed by pressing down on the cutting machine 8. The blade of the cutting machine 8 can be disassembled and replaced when it becomes dull.
[0038] It also includes a locking mechanism 9 disposed on the base mechanism, the locking mechanism 9 including a base 91 and a locking ring 92 detachably connected to the top of the base 91;
[0039] In this embodiment, the base 91 is fixed to the top surface of the side base 5; the locking ring 92 is Ω-shaped, with one end fixed to the base 91 by a pin 93, and the other end hinged to the base 91. During cutting, to prevent the liner 2 from rotating, the locking ring 92 is used to press the liner 2 tightly. One side of the locking ring 92 is rotatably connected to the base 91 via a pivot, and the other side of the locking ring 92 has a through hole at its bottom. The base 91 also has a through hole at a corresponding position. When it is necessary to lock the liner 2, the through hole of the locking ring 92 is aligned with the through hole of the base 91, and then the pin 93 is inserted to restrict the rotation of the locking ring 92. The pressure of the locking ring 92 restricts the rotation of the liner 2.
[0040] The obtained underground loose rock core 1 and the liner 2 were excavated together to form a sample to be cut. The length of the liner 2 is greater than the length of the rock core 1. The liner 2 completely protects the rock core 1. The liner 2 is made of aluminum alloy or fiberglass. The liner 2 is for single use. The function of the liner 2 is to protect the shape of the rock core 1 and prevent structural damage during cutting, handling and transportation. The liner 2 and the rock core 1 are cut into sections together.
