Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grassroots soil sampling instruments, and in particular to an instrument for measuring soil compaction on site. Background Technology

[0002] The ring cutter method is one of the commonly used methods for testing the compaction degree of earthwork. The ring cutter method is particularly suitable for testing the compaction degree of fine-grained soil. The basic principle of the ring cutter method is as follows: the surface of the earthwork to be tested is cleaned, and then a thin-walled ring cutter body is placed at the test location. A hammer is placed on top of the ring cutter body to prevent it from being hammered. The hammer is used to hammer the cover plate until the ring cutter body is completely chiseled into the earthwork. Then, the soil layer around the ring cutter body is dug out and the ring cutter body is removed. The soil at the top and bottom ends of the ring cutter body is scraped level to obtain qualified soil samples.

[0003] Existing soil sampling equipment uses an auger to drill a thin-walled cylinder into the soil. However, because the auger is located inside the thin-walled cylinder, the undisturbed soil is easily disturbed and damaged when sampling through the cylinder, preventing the soil from maintaining its original shape. This results in the auger affecting the compaction of the sampled soil, leading to inaccurate sampling.

[0004] Therefore, a field compaction sampling instrument is provided to avoid affecting the sampled soil inside the ring cutter during soil sampling. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a field compaction soil sampling instrument, comprising: an outer sleeve, a soil sampling unit, an upper end cover, an inner end cover, a first rod, and a handle. The soil sampling unit includes at least one ring cutter. The outer sleeve has an upper through hole and a lower through hole at both ends, which are coaxially arranged and interconnected. The diameter of the upper through hole is equal to the outer diameter of the ring cutter, and the diameter of the lower through hole is equal to the inner diameter of the ring cutter. The outer wall of the outer sleeve has multiple spiral soil discharge grooves. The lower end of the outer sleeve has a blade. The soil sampling unit is fitted inside the upper through hole. The upper end cover is detachably disposed at the end of the upper through hole away from the lower through hole. The soil sampling unit is sandwiched between the upper end cover and the inner wall of the upper through hole. The upper end cover has a groove. The handle is detachably disposed at the upper end of the upper end cover. The inner end cover is slidably disposed inside the groove. The first rod passes through the handle and the upper end cover from top to bottom. The lower end of the first rod is fixed at the center position of the upper surface of the inner end cover.

[0006] Preferably, the handle includes two vertical rods and at least one horizontal rod. The two vertical rods are respectively disposed through both ends of the horizontal rod. The lower end of the vertical rod is detachably disposed on the upper end cover. The vertical rod and the horizontal rod are detachably connected by set screws. The horizontal rod has a third through hole for the first rod to pass through.

[0007] Preferably, the diameter of the groove is greater than or equal to the inner diameter of the ring cutter, and the diameter of the groove is less than the outer diameter of the ring cutter.

[0008] Preferably, the upper end cover has first threaded holes at both ends of its upper end face, and the lower end of the vertical rod is threadedly connected to the first threaded holes.

[0009] Preferably, the inner end cap is cylindrical, and both ends of the upper surface of the inner end cap are provided with receiving grooves, with the lower ends of the vertical rods correspondingly disposed inside the receiving grooves.

[0010] Preferably, the inner end cap has a vent hole around the first rod.

[0011] Preferably, the outer sleeve includes a lower cylinder, an upper cylinder, and a connector. The lower end of the upper cylinder is integrally formed with a first ring, and the upper end of the lower cylinder and the lower end of the upper cylinder are both integrally formed with a second ring. The projection of the second ring along the axis of the cylinder is inside the first ring. The lower cylinder and the upper cylinder are detachably connected by the connector, and two adjacent upper cylinders are detachably connected by the connector. The connector passes through the second ring and the first ring in sequence along the radial direction of the ring cutter. The end of the connector near the axis of the cylinder abuts against the outer wall of the ring cutter.

[0012] Preferably, the upper end cover and the outer sleeve are detachably connected by screws, and the circumferential surface of the upper end cover is provided with a second threaded hole that mates with the screws.

[0013] Preferably, the connector is a countersunk pin, and the end of the connector near the axis of the cylinder is provided with an arc-shaped curved surface that fits against the outer wall of the ring cutter.

[0014] Preferably, the lower end of the ring cutter is provided with a lower cutting edge, and the upper end of the ring cutter is provided with a receiving groove for accommodating the lower cutting edge.

[0015] Preferably, the upper end of the first rod is provided with a scale line. When the lower end face of the inner end cap is coplanar with the upper end face of the uppermost ring cutter, the zero mark of the scale line is coplanar with the upper end face of the crossbar.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The inner end cap is placed on the ground. Since multiple ring cutters are fixed inside the outer sleeve, the ring cutters will rotate with the outer sleeve and drill into the soil. By rotating the outer sleeve, the soil sampling instrument is drilled into the soil. During the drilling process, the soil is discharged along the discharge groove on the outer wall of the outer sleeve. When the first rod rises relative to the crossbar to the preset position, both the outer sleeve and the ring cutters are submerged in the soil. Reversing the rotation of the outer sleeve removes it from the soil. Simultaneously, pushing the first rod allows the soil to be pushed out from inside the ring cutters through the inner end cap, facilitating the removal of the sampled soil.
