[0021] Embodiment 1
[0022] Please refer to the accompanying drawings Figures 1-4 The application provides a soil sample preparation device for geotechnical test, comprising a base 1, an isolation net 2, a surrounding board 3, an air pump 4 and an air pipe 5, the base 1 is internally provided with a cavity capable of containing liquid, the top of the base 1 is provided with a first through hole 6 in communication with the cavity, the isolation net 2 is arranged in the first through hole 6, the periphery of the first through hole 6 is rotatably connected with a plurality of surrounding boards 3, the surrounding boards 3 can be rotated to form a cylindrical barrel, a barrel cover 9 is arranged above the cylindrical barrel, the top of the barrel cover 9 is provided with the air pump 4, the air pump 4 is in communication with the cavity through the air pipe 5. When preparing the soil sample, the soil is put into the cylindrical barrel, and the surrounding board 3 is used to surround the soil. Liquid, such as water, is filled into the cavity of the base 1. The air pump 4 is started to drive air circulation, the air flows upward from the cylindrical barrel to the air pump 4 and then flows back to the cavity through the air pipe 5, forming air circulation. Since the cavity is filled with water, the water vapor generated by evaporation enters the soil, thereby increasing the water content in the soil. Different water contents of the soil can be prepared according to the needs of the geotechnical test, so as to facilitate the detection of various properties of the soil. The first through hole 6 at the top of the base 1 connects the inner cavity of the cylindrical barrel and the cavity inside the base 1, and the water vapor can enter the soil in the cylindrical barrel from the first through hole 6. The barrel cover 9 is used to cover the top of the cylindrical barrel, which can prevent the air flow from entering the atmosphere through the gap between the surrounding boards 3, improve the circulation flow of the water vapor in the cylindrical barrel, and promote the humidity adjustment of the soil.
[0023] Preferably, the height of the liquid surface in the cavity is greater than the height of the lower end of the air pipe 5, so that the lower end of the air pipe 5 is submerged in water. When the air flow circulates, the water body generates bubbles, promoting the evaporation of the water body and enabling the water content of the soil to be increased faster.
[0024] Specifically, the bottom of the surrounding board 3 is provided with a hinge 7, the surrounding board 3 is rotatably connected with the base 1 through the hinge 7, and the upper end of the surrounding board 3 is sleeved in a fixing hoop 8. The surrounding board 3 can be rotated to the four directions, thereby opening the cylindrical barrel, and the opened cylindrical barrel is convenient for placing the soil. After the soil is placed in the surrounding board 3, the surrounding board 3 is folded into a cylindrical barrel, and then the top of the surrounding board 3 is sleeved with the fixing hoop 8, thereby improving the stability of the surrounding board 3.
[0025] Specifically, the cylinder cover includes an upper cylinder 10 and a lower cylinder 11, the lower cylinder is connected to the bottom of the upper cylinder 10, the upper cylinder 10 communicates with the air pump 4, and the inner diameter of the lower cylinder 11 is greater than that of the upper cylinder 10. The hinge 7 is located in the lower cylinder 11, and by setting different inner diameters, the bottom of the cylinder cover can be attached to the base 1 after covering the cylindrical cylinder, so that the gas leakage in the circulation is reduced.
[0026] Embodiment 2
[0027] Please refer to the accompanying drawings Figures 1-4 The difference between the embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the cavity is provided with a heating disc 12. The heating disc 12 is used to heat the water in the cavity, promote the evaporation of the water body, and can quickly increase the water content of the soil.

Under the action of the buoyancy plate 14, the heating disc 12 is located at the upper part of the water body, and directly heats the upper part of the water body during heating. The water body with high temperature has large density and is located at the upper part, which can ensure that the heating disc 12 more concentratedly heats the upper part of the water body, thereby promoting the evaporation of the water body, quickly increasing the water content of the soil, and reducing energy consumption. With the evaporation of water, the water level gradually decreases, the buoyancy plate 14 drives the heating disc 12 to move downward, so that the heating disc 12 can always heat the upper part of the water body.
[0029] Specifically, the buoyancy plate 14 includes a flat plate 16 and a buoyancy block, the flat plate 16 penetrates through the second through hole 17 of the guide rod 13 around, and the buoyancy block 15 is arranged at the upper part of the buoyancy plate 14.
