In the embodiment, the sealing member 10 is a plug which is detachably arranged in the discharge hole. The heating member 8 is arranged in correspondence with the accommodating cavity 4. Alternatively, the injection hole 7 can also be arranged on the side wall of the accommodating cavity 4 and close to the top plate 3.
[0030] Preferably, the heating member 8 is embedded on the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 4 and located above the positioning member 6. The heating member 8 extends along the circumference of the inner wall of the pile barrel 1. The number of the heating members 8 is at least two, and a plurality of heating members 8 can be arranged along the axial direction of the pile barrel 1.

[0034] Step one: chisel off the low-strength layer on the top of the foundation pile 9, and level the top surface of the foundation pile 9 by the subtractive method;
[0035] If there is a steel bar left on the top of the foundation pile 9, it is not necessary to cut it off.
[0036] Step two: screw the positioning bolt into the accommodating cavity 4 of the pile cylinder 1, install the pile cylinder 1 on the top of the foundation pile 9, install the top plate 3 on the top of the pile cylinder 1, the top of the foundation pile 9 is located in the foundation pile installation cavity 5, and the positioning end 60 of at least part of the positioning bolt is in contact with the top wall of the foundation pile 9.

[0042] In summary, the low-melting-point metal is solidified to transmit pressure to the top of the foundation pile, even if the top of the foundation pile has protruding steel bars, the top of the foundation pile can still uniformly receive the test pressure, effectively protecting the top of the foundation pile and the pile cap. Since the low-melting-point metal can be solidified into a solid, the problem of the existing yellow sand applying strong lateral pressure to the steel cylinder and causing the steel cylinder to deform can be avoided, stress concentration leading to damage to the pile cap can be avoided, and the accuracy of the test data can be effectively ensured. At the same time, the steel bars left on the top of the foundation pile do not need to be cut off, and the height of the foundation pile concrete does not need to be increased, greatly improving the efficiency of arranging the top of the foundation pile. The low-melting-point metal can be repeatedly used, greatly reducing the production cost.
