Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of compressive strength testing, and in particular to a core compressive strength testing device. Background Technology

[0002] In engineering surveys, rock compressive strength is generally required. The common practice is to retrieve rock cores from the site, prepare them into regular rock samples according to relevant standards, and then pressurize them using a specialized rock strength testing machine to obtain the compressive strength. A few methods use point load tests, which are then converted into rock compressive strength. Both of these methods require specialized large-scale equipment and cannot directly and quickly determine the compressive strength on-site, making them unsuitable for quickly determining the compressive strength of sandstone in construction surveys.

[0003] Based on this, the applicant proposed a test method for in-situ estimation of the compressive strength of sandstone cores, as detailed in application number 2024115006748, filed on October 29, 2024, regarding the test apparatus and method for in-situ estimation of the compressive strength of sandstone cores. The applicant believes that using a traditional rebound hammer for core compressive strength testing suffers from low testing efficiency and high labor intensity. Therefore, the applicant proposes a core compressive strength testing device that is highly efficient and saves time and labor. Utility Model Content

[0032] Example 1

[0033] This embodiment provides a core compressive strength testing device, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 1 As shown, it includes a base 1, a rebound spring holder 2, a rebound spring 3, and a caliper 4, wherein:

[0034] The base 1 has a limiting groove 1.1 on one side for placing the rock core A. In this embodiment, the base 1 is preferably U-shaped, and the rock core has four flat surfaces ground into its outer wall in the front, back, left, and right directions, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 2 As shown, core A is placed flat within the limiting groove 1.1. The depth of the limiting groove 1.1 is equal to half the length of core A, allowing for testing of the core at different positions along its length. The other end of the core can be tested by inverting the core.

[0035] The two rebound hammer mounting bases 2 are symmetrically arranged with the center line of the limiting groove 1.1 as the axis of symmetry, and are slidably mounted on the top sides of the base perpendicular to the limiting groove 1.1. To ensure that the rebound hammer can act on the rock core, the height of the base 1 is less than 2 / 3 of the diameter of the rock core A. For tests that need to be performed on different horizontal planes of the rock core, the rock core can be raised by placing a pad under the rock core.

[0036] Preferably, the width of the limiting groove 1.1 is equal to the distance between the two opposing planes of the rock core A, ensuring that the distance between the rebound hammer and the test plane of the rock core is equal.

[0037] The preferred installation method for the rebound meter holder 2 on the base 1 is as follows: (see attached diagram) Figure 1 Appendix Figure 3 and attached Figure 6 As shown, the base 1 has a first extension plate 1.2 on both sides, and a guide rail 1.3 on the first extension plate 1.2. The bottom of the rebounder fixing seat 2 is provided with a guide groove 2.3 that is slidably connected to the guide rail 1.3, so that the rebounder fixing seat can be slidably installed on the guide rail on the first extension plate of the base.

[0038] The rebound spring 3 is fixedly installed inside the rebound spring mounting base 2. Preferably, as shown in the attached diagram... Figure 1 Appendix Figure 5 and attached Figure 6 As shown, the rebound hammer holder 2 in this embodiment consists of a base body 2.1 and an end cap 2.2. The base body 2.1 has an insertion hole 2.1.1 for inserting the rebound hammer 3, and the top of the tail end of the base body 2.1 has an opening groove 2.1.2 that communicates with the insertion hole 2.1.1. The end cap 2.2 is threadedly connected to the tail end of the base body 2.1 to tighten the rebound hammer 3. During installation, open the end cap, insert the rebound hammer with the reading side facing upwards into the insertion hole of the base body, and then tighten the end cap to secure the rebound hammer and prevent it from coming off the holder during testing. The opening groove on the base body will not affect the reading of the rebound hammer.

[0039] As attached Figure 1 Appendix Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 As shown, the two jaws of the caliper 4 are hinged to one side of the rebound hammer mounting base 2, and a slider 4.1 is provided at the bottom of the rotating shaft of the caliper 4. The base 1 is provided with a sliding groove 1.5, and the slider 4.1 is slidably disposed in the sliding groove 1.5. The caliper can be used to control the horizontal movement of the rebound hammer mounting base towards the rock core. During the movement, the caliper moves backward until the rebound hammer is moved to the test position. When the caliper handle is released, the rebound hammer mounting base returns to its original position under the restoring force of the rebound hammer. The specific connection structure between the caliper and the base in this embodiment is as follows: the end of the base 1 opposite to the limiting groove 1.1 is provided with a second extension plate 1.4, and the sliding groove 1.5 is provided on the second extension plate 1.4.

[0040] In this embodiment, the rebounder 3 is either a mechanical rebounder or a digital rebounder.

[0041] In practice, the testing device is fixed on a flat plate. One end of the polished rock core is inserted into the limiting groove of the base. The caliper is controlled to complete the test at the first point. Then, the rock core is pushed into the limiting groove a certain distance, and the caliper is controlled to complete the test at the second point. This process is repeated to complete the test at multiple points. The rock core is then removed, and the other end is turned over and placed into the limiting groove to complete the test at multiple points on the other end.

[0042] Example 2

[0043] Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment is equipped with a test platform (not shown in the figure) to replace the simple flat plate in Embodiment 1. The base is fixedly installed on the test platform, and the bottom of the test platform is provided with a leveling component for adjusting the levelness of the test platform. The leveling component in this embodiment is only used to adjust the levelness of the test platform, and it is a direct application of existing technology, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0044] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
