[0025] In this embodiment, the test tank 2 is hinged on the base 1 and can rotate around the hinge point to change the inclination angle, so that the device can simulate different slope conditions, such as 5°, 25°, etc., the sand layer 3 is located at the bottom of the test tank 2 to simulate the bottom material in nature, which helps to study the erosion of water flow to the bottom material during rainfall, the geotextile 4 is laid on the sand layer 3 to play a role in separation and filtration, preventing particles in the sand layer 3 from mixing into the upper soil, and also helping to analyze the interaction between different soil layers 5, the soil layer 5 is composed of red soil and yellow-brown soil to simulate different types of soil conditions, these soil layers 5 are stacked on the geotextile 4 to study the water and sand loss characteristics of soil during rainfall, the flow meter 61 monitors and records the flow rate of water after passing through the soil layer 5, reflecting the permeability and soil erosion of the soil layer 5, the rain gauge 62 records the total rainfall to provide basic data for soil erosion analysis, and the lost sand and soil particles are discharged into the measuring cylinder 63 through a specific collection path for subsequent weighing and analysis, the measuring cylinder 63 is transparent, so that the operator can directly observe the amount and state of the sand and soil particles collected in the cylinder, at the same time, a scale is engraved on one side of the measuring cylinder 63, which makes the operator can more accurately measure and record the volume or weight of the lost sand and soil particles (by measuring the height of the particles in the measuring cylinder, combining the known bottom area of the measuring cylinder and the density of the particles to estimate), during the rainfall simulation experiment, the lost sand and soil particles are guided into the measuring cylinder 63, and the operator can obtain quantitative information about the soil erosion by observing the scale and recording the data;

[0026] By adjusting the extension length of the hydraulic cylinder 11, the inclination angle of the test tank 2 can be flexibly changed, thereby simulating different slope conditions. During the simulation of rainfall, the rainfall nozzle is placed directly above the test tank 2 to spray simulated rainfall into the test tank. As the rainfall proceeds, the water and sediment loss in the test tank 2 will be monitored and recorded in real time. By adjusting the hydraulic cylinder 11, the inclination angle of the test tank 2 can be flexibly adjusted to simulate different slope conditions. This design greatly expands the application range of the device, enabling researchers to more comprehensively analyze the specific effects of different slopes and different rainfall intensities on soil. The device is internally provided with multiple soil layers 5, including a sand and stone layer 3, a geotextile 4, and different types of soil layers 5. These soil layers 5 are stacked together to simulate the soil structure in nature. This design helps to more accurately study the water and sediment loss characteristics of soil during rainfall.
