Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of frost heave soil testing devices, and in particular to a testing device for testing the frost heave pressure of soil samples at different temperatures. Background Technology
[0002] For soil samples subject to freeze-thaw cycles, repeated frost heave and thaw settlement alter the soil's structure and particle bonding, leading to changes in permeability and consequently, changes in its mechanical properties. Since frozen soil is a four-phase system (gas, liquid, solid, and ice), its mechanical properties are influenced by multiple factors. Studying pressure changes during frost heave allows for a macroscopic and direct observation of the correlation and response patterns between water freezing within soil particles and frost heave pressure as temperature changes.
[0003] Current experimental setups for testing soil frost heave pressure are insufficient for macroscopic frost heave pressure testing of soil samples at different temperatures under the same test conditions. They are also insufficient for simultaneously detecting the frost heave pressure patterns of different soil samples or the same soil sample with different moisture contents at the same temperature. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned shortcomings of the existing technology by proposing a test device for testing the frost heave pressure of soil samples at different temperatures.
[0005] This utility model discloses a test device for testing the frost heave pressure of soil samples at different temperatures. The device includes a refrigerated constant temperature chamber, a platform within the chamber, multiple soil sample containers, and a pressure detection mechanism. All soil sample containers are open, and each opening is fitted with a lid. The pressure detection mechanism includes a lifting assembly and multiple pressure sensors. The upper end of the lifting assembly is fixed to the top of the refrigerated constant temperature chamber, and the pressure sensors are located at the bottom of the lifting assembly. The containers are placed on the platform below the lifting assembly.
[0006] Furthermore, the platform is provided with multiple limiting grooves for placing soil sample containers, and the limiting grooves correspond one-to-one with the positions of the multiple pressure sensors.
[0007] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes multiple electrically operated telescopic rods, and each of the electrically operated telescopic rods has a pressure sensor at its bottom end.
[0008] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes an electric telescopic component and a lifting plate. The upper end of the electric telescopic component is fixed to the top of the refrigeration constant temperature chamber, and the lifting plate is disposed at the bottom end of the electric telescopic component. Multiple pressure sensors are spaced apart on the lifting plate.
[0009] Furthermore, the refrigeration constant temperature chamber is provided with a transparent insulated door on its side.
[0010] Furthermore, the refrigeration constant temperature chamber is equipped with a temperature display screen on its exterior.
[0011] Furthermore, the height of the soil sample container is greater than the depth of the limiting groove.
[0012] Furthermore, the plurality of the limiting grooves are on the same straight line.
[0013] This utility model discloses a test device for testing the frost heave pressure of soil samples at different temperatures. By setting multiple soil sample containers and corresponding pressure detection mechanisms in a refrigerated constant temperature chamber, it enables the simultaneous detection of the frost heave pressure of multiple soil samples at a preset temperature. Furthermore, by setting the temperature of the refrigerated constant temperature chamber, the frost heave pressure of soil samples at different temperatures can be detected, facilitating the analysis of the influence of different temperatures on the frost heave of soil samples.

[0017] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0018] Example 1
[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model discloses a test device for testing the frost heave pressure of soil samples at different temperatures. It includes a refrigeration constant temperature chamber 1, a platform 2 set inside the refrigeration constant temperature chamber 1, multiple soil sample containers 3, and a pressure detection mechanism 4. The soil sample containers 3 are all open and each of their openings is fitted with a cover 5. The pressure detection mechanism 4 includes a lifting assembly 41 and multiple pressure sensors 42. The upper end of the lifting assembly 41 is fixed to the top of the refrigeration constant temperature chamber 1, and the pressure sensors 42 are set at the bottom end of the lifting assembly 41. The containers are placed on the platform 2 and located below the lifting assembly 41.
[0020] This utility model discloses a test device for testing the frost heave pressure of soil samples at different temperatures. By setting multiple soil sample holding boxes 3 and corresponding pressure detection mechanisms 4 in a refrigeration constant temperature chamber 1, it can simultaneously detect the frost heave pressure of multiple soil samples at a preset temperature. Furthermore, by setting the temperature of the refrigeration constant temperature chamber 1, the frost heave pressure of soil samples at different temperatures can be detected, making it convenient to analyze the influence of different temperatures on the frost heave of soil samples.
[0021] Example 2
[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the platform 2 can be provided with multiple limiting grooves 21 for placing soil sample containers 3. The limiting grooves 21 correspond one-to-one with the positions of multiple pressure sensors 42, which makes it convenient for users to accurately place the soil sample container 3 under the pressure sensor 42 for testing. The multiple limiting grooves 21 can be on the same straight line.
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the lifting assembly 41 has various structures, which are not limited here. In this embodiment, the lifting assembly 41 may include multiple electric telescopic rods 411, and each electric telescopic rod 411 is provided with a pressure sensor 42 at its bottom end. After the soil sample container 3 containing the soil sample to be tested is placed in the limiting groove 21 of the platform 2, the cover 5 is placed on the soil sample container 3 and in contact with the soil sample inside the soil sample container 3. The multiple electric telescopic rods 411 extend into the soil sample container 3, so that the pressure sensor 42 on them comes into contact with the cover 5.
[0024] The area of the cover 5 can be larger than the open area of the soil sample container 3. In this case, the soil sample must completely fill the soil sample container 3 so that the soil sample is in contact with the cover 5. In another feasible method, the cover 5 perfectly matches the open area of the soil sample container 3. In this case, even if the soil sample does not completely fill the soil sample container 3, the cover can still be placed completely inside the soil sample container 3 to contact the soil sample. When the area of the cover 5 can be larger than the open area of the soil sample container 3, the height of the soil sample container 3 must be greater than the depth of the limiting groove 21.
[0025] Example 3
[0026] like Figure 2As shown, in another possible implementation, the lifting assembly 41 may include an electric telescopic member 412 and a lifting plate 413. The upper end of the electric telescopic member 412 is fixed to the top of the refrigeration constant temperature chamber 1, and the lifting plate 413 is disposed at the bottom end of the electric telescopic member 412. Multiple pressure sensors 42 are spaced apart on the lifting plate 413. After the soil sample container 3 containing the soil sample to be tested is placed in the limiting groove 21 of the platform 2, the cover 5 is placed on the soil sample container 3, and the multiple electric telescopic members 412 extend into the soil sample container 3, so that the pressure sensors 42 on the lifting plate 413 come into contact with the cover 5.
[0027] The side of the refrigeration constant temperature chamber 1 can be equipped with a transparent heat-insulating door 11 to facilitate observation of the internal test conditions.
[0028] The exterior of the refrigeration constant temperature chamber 1 can be equipped with a temperature display screen 12 to facilitate monitoring of the internal temperature of the refrigeration constant temperature chamber 1. The specific structure of the refrigeration constant temperature chamber 1 is similar to that of a refrigerator.
[0029] The height of the soil sample container 3 can be greater than the depth of the limiting groove 21, making it convenient to put in and take out the soil sample container 3.
[0030] For any points not covered above, existing technologies shall apply.
