Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste rubber recycling technology, specifically to a test device for producing rubber-solidified soil with low cementitious material content. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid increase in the number of automobiles, the amount of waste rubber tires is also increasing year by year, posing a huge threat to the ecological environment. There is an urgent need to overcome the key technical challenges of efficient recycling and reuse of waste rubber tires. Currently, processing waste rubber tires into waste rubber granules through a series of processing steps, and then incorporating them into suitable engineering materials, can provide a new way for the efficient utilization of waste rubber tires.

[0003] Due to insufficient bearing capacity, many soil engineering projects require solidification treatment to improve their deformation resistance and overall stability. The main solidification method is to chemically treat the soil with cementitious materials such as cement to produce cement-stabilized soil. Waste rubber particles have the characteristics of low stiffness and high resilience. Therefore, adding them to cement-stabilized soil mixtures to prepare waste rubber cement-stabilized soil can improve the deformation resistance of the cement-stabilized soil mixture.

[0004] The particle size of waste rubber granules and the amount of cementitious material are two important factors affecting the properties of solidified soil mixtures. However, during indoor experiments, it was found that when the particle size of waste rubber granules is large and the amount of cementitious material is low, the waste rubber granules inside the solidified soil specimens will deform due to the compaction process during preparation. After the specimens are prepared, the deformed waste rubber granules will rebound. In the early stage of curing, due to the insufficient hydration of the cementitious material, less cementitious material is generated inside. If the rebound of the waste rubber granules is too high, it will cause cracking of the specimens. If the crack size is large, it will damage the waste rubber cementitious soil specimens, making it impossible to conduct tests on various physical and mechanical parameters of the specimens. Therefore, it is necessary to propose an experimental device for preparing rubber-solidified soil with low cementitious material content to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Combination Figures 1-4 A test apparatus for producing rubber-cured soil with low cementitious material content is provided, comprising a humidification device 1, a curing chamber 2, a temperature controller 3, and a heater 4. The humidification device 1 has a water tank 19 and a pressure pump 20 fixedly installed inside. The input end of the pressure pump 20 is connected to the water tank 19, and the output end of the pressure pump 20 is connected to the curing chamber 2 via a pipe 5 extending into the interior of the curing chamber 2. An atomizing nozzle 10 is fixedly installed below the pipe 5. The heater 4, temperature controller 3, and curing chamber 2 are also connected sequentially via pipe 5. A humidity-sensitive switch 21 is installed on the pipe 5 between the humidification device 1 and the curing chamber 2, and a temperature-sensitive switch 22 is installed on the pipe 5 between the temperature controller 3 and the curing chamber 2. A partition 23 is installed inside the curing chamber 2. Above and below the partition 23 are a power chamber 9 and a curing chamber 8, respectively. The atomizing nozzle 10 extends into the curing chamber 8. A door 6 is installed at the front of the curing chamber 8, and a cooling fan 7 is installed at the rear of the power chamber 9.

[0022] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 Furthermore, the maintenance chamber 8 contains three sets of maintenance boxes 11. Each maintenance box 11 consists of a side plate 12 and a baffle 13, with a drain outlet 14 located at the center of each box 11. A laser emitter 15 and a laser receiver 16 are respectively installed on the upper part of the side plate 12, and the laser emitter 15 and the laser receiver 16 are horizontally aligned. An electric telescopic rod 17 is installed on the upper part of the partition 23, and a pressure plate 18 is installed at the output end of the electric telescopic rod 17. The pressure plate 18 matches the inner diameter of the maintenance box 11.

[0023] The soil used in the experiment was silt, with waste rubber particles having a particle size of 5 mesh and a volumetric content of 6%. Cement was used as the cementing material, with a cement content of 4%. First, the silt was crushed, dried, and sieved. Second, it was mixed evenly at an optimum moisture content of 22%. Third, waste rubber particles and cement were added to the mixed soil. Finally, the mixture was poured into molds of the required size to create waste rubber cement-solidified soil test blocks. These test blocks were placed in curing chamber 11 for curing. During curing, a humidifying device 1 and a humidity-sensitive switch 21 worked together, while a pressure pump 20 supplied water to the curing chamber 8 via pipe 5, spraying water mist through atomizing nozzles 10 to control the humidity inside the curing chamber 8. A temperature controller 3, a temperature-sensitive switch 22, and a heater 4 worked together to monitor and heat the temperature inside the curing chamber 8 via pipe 5. During curing, the electric telescopic rod 17 works in conjunction with the pressure plate 18 to apply pressure to the top of the curing box 11. When the pressure plate 18 blocks the light from the laser emitter 15, causing the laser receiver 16 to fail to receive the laser, the external PLC controls the electric telescopic rod 17 to start working and drive the pressure plate 18 to press down. When the laser receiver 16 receives the laser, the electric telescopic rod 17 stops working. This device can effectively reduce the drawback of waste rubber particles rebounding and causing the test block to crack easily, and improve the integrity of the waste rubber cement-solidified soil test block during the curing process.
