However, particularly in roadbed areas with high water levels, the quality of aerated lightweight soil filling cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, there is a need to invent a device for detecting the saturated bulk density of aerated lightweight soil under high water level conditions, and other parameters, to determine whether it meets the engineering quality requirements. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This utility model addresses the needs and shortcomings of current technological development by providing a device for detecting the water-saturated bulk density of lightweight soil with air bubbles.
[0004] The present invention provides a device for detecting the water-saturated bulk density of lightweight soil with air bubbles. The technical solution adopted to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0032] Reference Appendix Figure 1 This embodiment proposes a device for detecting the saturated bulk density of lightweight soil with air bubbles, the structure of which includes:
[0033] Water tank 3, with built-in self-priming pump 1, is used to send the liquid in water tank 3 into static water sealed container 2 through pipeline 24;
[0034] The static water sealed container 2 has a sealed cavity 22 for storing liquid or gas. The bubble lightweight soil standard specimen to be tested for saturated water density is placed in the sealed cavity 22 and submerged in the liquid stored therein.
[0035] An air compression assembly is used to compress air to a set pressure value and deliver the compressed air through pipe 19 to the sealed cavity 22 of the static water-sealed container 2.
[0036] The static water sealed container 2 in this embodiment is equipped with an inlet pipe 12 and an exhaust valve 15 at the top, connecting to the sealed cavity 22. A self-priming pump 1 is connected to the inlet pipe 12 via a pipe 24, delivering liquid from the water tank 3 into the sealed cavity 22 of the static water sealed container 2. The sealed cavity 22 is connected to and disconnected from the outside air by opening and closing the exhaust valve 15. The sealed cavity 22 of the static water sealed container 2 is equipped with a fixed chamber 17 and a thermostatic component 16. The fixed chamber 17 has multiple fixing slots 18 for placing bubble-filled lightweight soil standard specimens. The thermostatic component 16 is used to maintain a constant temperature of the liquid stored in the sealed cavity 22, and typically includes a temperature measuring section, a heating section, and a touchscreen for users to view the current temperature and set the heating temperature. A drain pipe 14 is provided at the bottom of the static water sealed container 2, allowing the stored liquid in the sealed cavity 22 to be drained by opening the drain pipe 14.
[0037] Reference Appendix Figure 2 The fixed chamber 17 involved in this embodiment includes multiple sets of fixed sub-chambers stacked sequentially from top to bottom. Each set of fixed sub-chambers includes an acrylic honeycomb plate 23 and multiple fixed slots 18 fixedly placed on the acrylic honeycomb plate 23. The fixed slots 18 are bottomless and lidless cubic shapes formed by the butt joint fixing of multiple side plates, and the depth of the fixed slots 18 is greater than the height of the foamed lightweight soil specimen. For adjacent sets of fixed sub-chambers, the upper fixed slot 18 is connected to the lower fixed slot 18 through the acrylic honeycomb plate 23. Generally speaking, the length, width and height of the fixed slot 18 are 150mm*150mm*150mm, and the size of the foamed lightweight soil standard specimen is 100mm*100mm*100mm.
[0038] The air compression assembly involved in this embodiment includes an air compressor 4, a combined motor 9, a rotating gear 5, an air pipe 6, a compression cylinder 7, and a pressure gauge 8. The combined motor 9 drives the air compressor 4 to draw in air through the rotating gear 5 and compress it inside the air compressor. The compressed air is delivered to the compression cylinder 7 through the air pipe 6. The compression cylinder 7 serves as an air storage device to store compressed air and delivers the compressed air to the sealed cavity 22 of the static water sealed container 2 through the pipe 19. The pressure gauge 8 is responsible for monitoring the pressure of the compressed air inside the compression cylinder 7.
[0039] It should be further explained that the pipeline 19 is equipped with an air inlet valve 13. By opening the air inlet valve 13, the air compression assembly delivers compressed air through the pipeline 19 to the sealed cavity 22 of the static water sealed container 2. One end of the pipeline 19 is connected to the air compression assembly through a double flange 20 and a sealing gasket, and the other end passes downward through the static water sealed container 2 and connects to the sealed cavity 22. The pipeline 19 and the static water sealed container 2 are sealed and welded together.
[0040] The specific process for testing the saturated bulk density of bubble-filled lightweight soil using this embodiment is as follows:
[0041] (1) Weigh the standard specimen of bubble-filled lightweight soil (100mm*100mm*100mm) to determine its mass (m0);
[0042] (2) Place the weighed bubble lightweight soil standard specimen into the designated fixed slot 18 of the sealed cavity 22 of the static water sealed container 2 (it can be placed in the fixed slot 18 at a certain height to meet the subsequent water level requirements).
[0043] (3) When the static water sealed container 2 is confirmed to be in a sealed state, open the air compression assembly, water inlet pipe 12 and self-priming pump 1. Compressed air is delivered to the sealed cavity 22 of the static water sealed container 2 through pipe 19. Water in water tank 3 is delivered to the static water sealed container 2 through water inlet pipe 12 under the action of self-priming pump 1. Observe the water level of static water sealed container 2.
[0044] (4) When the water level in the still water sealed container 2 reaches the set height and covers the bubble lightweight soil standard specimen and the pressure gauge reaches 0.8MPa, close the water inlet pipe 12 and the self-priming pump 1, start timing, and after 30 minutes, close the air compression component and open the exhaust valve 15 to exhaust and release pressure.
[0045] (5) After depressurization for 1 minute, the bubble-filled lightweight soil standard specimen was taken out from the static water sealed container 2, wiped dry, and weighed (m1) to obtain the saturated bulk density γ. 饱水 =m1g. At this point, the dry density of the standard specimen of the bubble-filled lightweight soil is calculated as: γ 干 =m0g, net bulk density is: γ 净 = (m1-m0)g.
[0046] It should be added that the static water sealed container 2 has a viewing window to check the water level in the sealed cavity 22. Through this viewing window, it can be confirmed whether the water level in the static water sealed container 2 has submerged all the air-bubbly lightweight soil standard specimens.
[0047] This invention can test the mechanical properties of air-bubbly lightweight soil in a saturated state, including saturated bulk density, water absorption, moisture content, and saturated compressive strength, wherein:
[0048] Water absorption rate = (m) 吸 m is the weight of the sample after it is saturated with water. 干 (This refers to the weight of the sample after drying).
[0049] Moisture content = (m) 水 m is the weight of the sample after it contains water. 干 (This is the weight of the sample after drying). Example
[0050] Reference Appendix Figure 1 Based on Embodiment 1, the bubble lightweight soil saturated bulk density testing device proposed in this embodiment may further include the following structure:
[0051] Pipe 19 is a U-shaped pipe with its opening facing downwards. One side of the U-shaped pipe is bent outwards and connected to the air compression assembly. The other side of the U-shaped pipe 19 passes downwards through the static water sealed container 2 and connects to the sealed cavity 22.
[0052] The bottom of the still water sealed container 2 is equipped with a pulley bracket 10.
[0053] The top of the still water sealed container 2 is provided with a sealing cap 11.
[0054] The air compression assembly is equipped with wheels 21 at the bottom.
[0055] In summary, the bubble lightweight soil saturated density testing device of this utility model can detect the mechanical properties of bubble lightweight soil under set pressure and saturated conditions, and better provide test data as technical support for bubble lightweight soil areas with high water levels and high durability requirements.
[0056] The above specific examples illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this utility model in detail. These embodiments are only used to help understand the core technical content of this utility model. Based on the above specific embodiments of this utility model, any improvements and modifications made to this utility model by those skilled in the art without departing from the principles of this utility model should fall within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
