Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pile foundation testing technology, specifically relating to a pile foundation testing device for civil engineering. Background Technology

[0002] Low-strain testing involves striking the top of the pile with a small hammer. A sensor attached to the pile top receives stress wave signals from within the pile. Stress wave theory is then used to study the dynamic response of the pile-soil system, and the measured velocity and frequency signals are analyzed to determine the pile's integrity. When striking the pile top with the hammer, the force must be uniform and moderate; too much or too little force will prevent effective measurement. Currently, the force used to strike the pile top is generally controlled by feel, lacking a precise understanding of the appropriate force. Since multiple strikes are required for pile top testing, relying solely on feel can lead to significant force deviations and make precise manual control difficult. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a pile foundation testing device for civil engineering, which solves the problem that when hammering the top of the pile with a small hammer, the force must be uniform and moderate, neither too large nor too small, otherwise effective measurement cannot be performed. Currently, the force of hammering the top of the pile is generally controlled by feeling, without a precise concept of the hammering force. When testing the top of the pile, multiple hammering tests are required. Relying solely on feeling to control the force can easily lead to significant force deviations and make it difficult to precisely control the force manually.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a pile foundation testing device for civil engineering, comprising a hammer head cylinder, a hammer head sleeve inserted and snapped into the lower inner side of the hammer head cylinder, a hammer head disposed on the lower side of the hammer head sleeve, a pressure sensor disposed on the upper side of the hammer head sleeve, the pressure sensor being disposed inside the hammer head cylinder, a handle cylinder disposed on one side of the hammer head cylinder, a control device disposed on the upper side of the handle cylinder, a battery disposed inside the handle cylinder, the control device comprising a control board, buttons, a display screen and a PLC control circuit, the PLC control circuit being connected by a connecting wire, the connecting wire passing through the handle cylinder to the inner side of the hammer head cylinder and being inserted into the pressure sensor, and a handle disposed on the side of the handle cylinder away from the hammer head cylinder.

[0005] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the hammerhead impacts the hammerhead sleeve in the instant of striking, and the hammerhead sleeve squeezes the pressure sensor in the reverse direction. After the pressure sensor detects the pressure, it transmits the signal to the PLC control circuit through the connecting wire. After the PLC control circuit processes the signal, it transmits it to the control board. The control board displays the pressure value, i.e. the hammering force value, on the display screen. It can accurately display the hammering force value, making it convenient for users to control the hammering force by comparing the value. With a precise concept, it is easier to adjust the force. Multiple hammering tests make it easier to strike a similar force value, which is convenient for adjusting and reducing force deviation.

[0006] For ease of battery replacement;

[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: a copper contact plate is provided on the inner side of the handle below the control device, the battery is pressed against the copper contact plate, the handle is threadedly connected to the grip, and a spring is provided on the inner side of the grip near the battery.

[0008] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that the battery can be a disposable battery, which makes it easy to replace the battery.

[0009] To increase grip comfort;

[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: a rubber sleeve is fitted onto the outer side of the grip.

[0011] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that it increases the comfort of holding the device.

[0012] To facilitate quick replacement of the hammerhead;

[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the hammer head is inserted into the lower side of the hammer head sleeve, and the lower inner side of the hammer head sleeve is a rubber surface layer.

[0014] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that when testing different pile foundations, it is sometimes necessary to change different hammers. By pulling the hammer out of the hammer head sleeve, it is easy to quickly change the hammer head.

[0015] To repair the protruding concrete and mud blocks;

[0016] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: a circular block is threaded on the upper side of the hammer cylinder, and a chisel rod is provided on the upper side of the circular block. The circular block is pressed against the pressure sensor.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: the round block is unscrewed to inspect and maintain the pressure sensor inside the hammer cylinder. When installing the probe, it is necessary to keep the surface of the pile top flat. Sometimes it is necessary to manually adjust the position of the probe installation. By using the reverse holding device and chisel rod, some of the protruding concrete and mud blocks can be trimmed.

[0018] To limit the position of the pressure sensor;

[0019] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: a limiting ring is provided on the upper side of the hammer head sleeve, and the pressure sensor is located inside the limiting ring.

[0020] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that it limits the position of the pressure sensor and prevents the pressure sensor from shifting.

[0021] To clean the dust from where the probe is installed;

[0022] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the grip is evenly provided with bristles on the side away from the handle.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: it can clean the dust at the probe installation site and promote the adhesion of the probe to the top of the pile through the coupling agent.

The connecting wire 7 passes through the handle 5 to the inner side of the hammer cylinder 1 and is inserted into the pressure sensor 4. A handle 10 is provided on the side away from the hammer head cylinder 1. When the hammer head 3 strikes, it impacts the hammer head sleeve 2 in the reverse direction. The hammer head sleeve 2 then presses against the pressure sensor 4. After detecting the pressure, the pressure sensor 4 transmits the signal to the PLC control circuit via the connecting wire 7. The PLC control circuit processes the signal and transmits it to the control board. The control board displays the pressure value, i.e., the hammering force value, on the display screen. This allows for precise display of the striking force value, facilitating user control of the striking force based on the value. With this precise understanding, it is easier to adjust the force.

After detecting the pressure, the pressure sensor 4 transmits the signal to the PLC control circuit through the connecting wire 7. The PLC control circuit processes the signal and transmits it to the control board. The control board displays the pressure value, i.e., the hammering force value, on the display screen. This allows for precise display of the striking force value, making it easier for the user to control the striking force based on the value.

Pulling the hammer head 3 out of the hammer head sleeve 2 facilitates quick replacement. Additionally, during use, a round block 14 is threaded onto the upper side of the hammer head cylinder 1, and a chisel rod 15 is mounted on the upper side of the round block 14. The round block 14 is pressed against the pressure sensor 4. Unscrewing the round block 15... 4 is used for testing and maintenance of the pressure sensor 4 inside the hammer cylinder 1. When installing the probe, it is necessary to keep the surface of the pile top flat. Sometimes it is necessary to manually adjust the position of the probe installation.
