Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pressure measurement technology, and in particular to a batch calibration device for hydraulic piezometers. Background Technology

[0002] Piezometers, as important monitoring sensors, are widely used in numerous fields such as water conservancy and hydropower, municipal engineering, port and shipping, rail transit engineering, and geological exploration. They are primarily used to monitor key indicators such as pore water pressure, seepage pressure, and groundwater level in the soil and surrounding rock of dam bodies and foundation pits. Because changes in groundwater level directly affect the mechanical stability of the main structure and retaining structure of dam bodies and foundation pits, these indicators have always been a key focus of engineering safety monitoring.

[0003] To ensure the measurement accuracy and reliability of piezometers, the state has formulated a series of relevant industry standards, which clearly stipulate that piezometers must be calibrated after entering the site and before being installed in civil construction, in order to verify the stability of their performance and the reliability of their accuracy.

[0004] Currently, conventional piezometer calibration devices present numerous problems in practical operation. Conventional devices can only calibrate piezometers one by one, resulting in a cumbersome process that often requires specialized personnel. During calibration, the piezometer cable must pass through the cable hole on the sleeve nut. After the piezometer is capped with an adapter cap (including a sealing ring), it is inserted into the calibration housing, and then the nut is tightened using pipe wrenches and a large adjustable wrench. The calibration housing is then installed on the air pump screw seat, and the piezometer cable is connected to the reading instrument terminal. When operating the portable air pump for pressurization, a precision pressure gauge must be observed. Taking a 1000 kPa range piezometer as an example, the pressure should be increased in stages to six pressure values: 0 kPa, 200 kPa, 400 kPa, 600 kPa, 800 kPa, and 1000 kPa, maintaining a constant pressure. Data should be recorded six times for each pressure value on the reading instrument. The pressure relief return cycle is also read 6 times, and the entire process is repeated 3 times. Finally, the mechanical and temperature parameters of the piezometer are calculated using the curvature fitting formula. This method is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also has a long calibration cycle and poor results. Utility Model Content

[0006] A batch calibration device for hydraulic piezometers, comprising:

[0007] The installation tube has a structure for quickly installing the piezometer and can straighten, clamp and fix the piezometer.

[0029] 6. Low cost: While improving work efficiency, it reduces labor and time costs, resulting in good economic benefits. Attached Figure Description

[0038] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0039] like Figures 1-6 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment proposes a batch calibration device for hydraulic piezometers, comprising:

[0040] The installation cylinder 1 has a structure for quickly installing the piezometer 2, and can straighten, clamp and fix the piezometer 2;

[0041] Piezometer 2, as an osmotic pressure monitoring sensor, is used to measure osmotic pressure parameters;

[0042] Angle valve device 3, one end of which is sealed to the mounting cylinder 1 and the other end of which is sealed to the connecting pipe 4, controls the opening or closing of the cavity 10 in each calibration cylinder and the connecting pipe 4 by opening and closing the angle valve device 3.

[0043] The connecting pipe 4 is a tubular structure with multiple connection ports at both ends and on the sides. These connection ports connect the various placement cylinders 1 in parallel, enabling the conduction of pressurized air between the various placement cylinders 1.

[0044] The portable air pump 5 has a pressure regulation function. During the calibration of the piezometer 2, it pressurizes and depressurizes the gas in the calibration device cavity 10. Its outlet is sealed to one end of the high-pressure rubber tube 9. It is connected to the high-pressure rubber tube 9 through the calibration device connector 51 on the portable air pump 5.

[0045] The piston clamp 6 is movably connected at one end to the push-pull quick clamp 7, and the other end directly contacts the tail end of the piezometer 2. Under the action of the push-pull quick clamp 7, the piezometer 2 is clamped.

[0046] The push-pull quick clamp 7 is connected to the piston clamp 6 through a movable connecting structure, which can quickly realize the support, clamping and removal operations of the piezometer 2.

[0047] The junction box 8 has multiple wiring ports 81 inside, including a piezometer 2 wiring port 81 for connecting each piezometer 2 cable 13 and a reader wiring port 81 for connecting the reader cable 13.

[0048] The high-pressure rubber hose 9 is made of high-pressure resistant rubber. One end of it is sealed to the air outlet of the portable air pump 5, and the other end is sealed to the connecting joint of the connecting pipe 4. It is used to conduct pressurized air in each device component.

[0049] The working principle is as follows: the piezometer 2 and cable 13 are inserted through the installation cylinder 1, supported and fixed by the push-pull quick clamp 7, and sealed and isolated by the sealing rubber ring 15 at the front of the permeable stone of the piezometer 2. The hollow cavity 10 forms a closed pressure chamber. The angle valve device 3 connects each installation cylinder 1 to the connecting pipe 4. The connector of the connecting pipe 4 is connected to the air pump through the high-pressure connecting hose. The cable 13 of the piezometer 2 is connected to the internal wiring port 81 of the junction box 8. The piezometer 2 reading instrument is connected to the wiring port 81 of the junction box 8, which enables batch calibration of multiple piezometers 2.

[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, the mounting cylinder 1 is provided with a first window structure 11, which is located on the side of the mounting cylinder 1. Its shape and size are adapted to the piston clamp 6, so that the piston clamp 6 can slide up and down on the mounting cylinder 1.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, the mounting cylinder 1 is also provided with a second window structure 12 located on the side of the mounting cylinder 1. The length and width of the second window structure 12 meet the requirements for quick insertion and removal of the piezometer 2 and the cable 13.

[0053] like Figure 4 As shown, a rubber buffer pad 61 is provided at the contact point between the piston clamp 6 and the tail end of the piezometer 2. This prevents damage to the piezometer 2 during the clamping process.

[0054] like Figure 5As shown, the push-pull quick clamp 7 has a handle structure 71 for easy operation, and the handle surface is provided with anti-slip texture. This facilitates the operator's application of force. The handle structure 71 drives the telescopic rod 72 to push and pull up and down.

[0055] like Figure 6 As shown, the hub box 8 is also equipped with a port converter 82. The port converter 82 has a rotary structure. By rotating the port converter 82, the connection between different piezometers 2 and the reading instrument can be quickly switched to realize the reading of each piezometer 2. By rotating the port converter 82 on the hub box 8, the piezometers 2 can be quickly switched in a set order to complete the reading work.

[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, the cavity 10 inside the mounting cylinder 1 is the air pressure application area, which forms a sealed space to ensure stable pressure transmission.

[0057] Compared to existing calibration methods, this device offers several advantages. First, it allows for rapid, batch installation of fixed piezometers 2 without the need for additional tools, eliminating the tedious process of repeated disassembly and reassembly. Second, it can connect 12-24 or even more piezometers 2 in parallel at a time, with each instrument individually connected to or disconnected from the system as needed, increasing flexibility and significantly improving work efficiency. Finally, it enables rapid batch readings via the junction box 8 and the reader, eliminating the need to disconnect and reconnect each cable 13 connector. Rapid readings of the piezometers 2 can be achieved at each sampling stage during pressurization and depressurization, allowing for the calculation of corresponding parameters and efficiently completing the calibration of the piezometers 2.
