Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of experimental tool technology, specifically to a soil infiltration test device that is easy to clean. Background Technology

[0002] Soil permeability testing is an important testing method in many fields such as soil research, agricultural production, and civil engineering. Traditional soil permeability testing apparatus usually consists of a simple combination of a funnel and a graduated cylinder. With the development of technology, some new types of soil permeability testing apparatus have also appeared on the market.

[0003] For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN214224882U discloses a permeability test device for measuring the saturated infiltration coefficient of soil. This device includes a support rod with a leveling mechanism and an auxiliary mechanism. A support ring is welded to one end of the support rod, and a sampling cylinder is welded to the other end. A sampling ring blade is welded to the bottom opening of the sampling cylinder, and a foot pedal is welded to the outer wall of the sampling cylinder. This permeability test device allows for undisturbed soil sampling, avoiding damage during transportation and ensuring the accuracy of experimental data. The permeability test can be started simply by flipping the support rod after sampling, making operation simple and convenient. Furthermore, the entire device adopts a shovel-like structural design, reducing the labor intensity of personnel when collecting soil and making it easy to carry, thus broadening its application scenarios and scope.

[0004] The soil permeability testing device provided by the aforementioned patent differs in structure from the traditional soil permeability testing device using a graduated cylinder and funnel. However, like traditional permeability testing devices, it suffers from the problem of inconvenient cleaning. During the test, soil particles easily adhere to the inner wall of the funnel and the wall of the graduated cylinder. Especially when testing different soil samples multiple times, soil residue gradually accumulates, making cleaning extremely tedious, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. Moreover, due to the structural characteristics of the funnel and graduated cylinder, some hard-to-reach areas are difficult to access, resulting in incomplete cleaning. This not only affects the accuracy of subsequent tests, as residual soil may alter the structure and pore condition of the soil being tested later, thus interfering with the permeability test results, but also reduces experimental efficiency and increases experimental costs. Furthermore, the use of tools such as graduated cylinders, funnels, filter paper, and water cups during the test is also cumbersome. Therefore, there is an urgent need in the market for a soil permeability testing device that is easy to clean. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a soil infiltration test device that is easy to clean, in order to improve the problems of existing soil permeability test devices that are inconvenient to clean and require too many tools during the test.

The combination of the filter plate 11 and the filter paper facilitates soil support and prevents soil from leaking to the bottom of the measuring cylinder 1. Both ends of the measuring cylinder 1 are open, allowing for easy rinsing from both ends, avoiding the problem of traditional measuring cylinders being too deep and difficult to clean at the bottom. A base 2 is connected to the bottom opening of the measuring cylinder 1, providing support for the entire test device. A water storage cylinder 3 is installed at the top opening of the measuring cylinder 1. Both the water storage cylinder 3 and the base 2 are detachably connected to the measuring cylinder 1.

Both ends of the measuring cylinder 1 are open, allowing for easy rinsing from both ends, avoiding the problem of traditional measuring cylinders being too deep and difficult to clean at the bottom. A base 2 is connected to the bottom opening of the measuring cylinder 1, providing support for the entire test device. A water storage cylinder 3 is installed at the top opening of the measuring cylinder 1. Both the water storage cylinder 3 and the base 2 are detachably connected to the measuring cylinder 1. The water storage cylinder 3 stores the water needed for the test, allowing water to be injected into the soil inside the measuring cylinder 1 when needed. The base 2 and the bottom of the measuring cylinder 1 are sealed together to ensure that there is no water leakage between the bottom of the measuring cylinder 1 and the base 2.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, the measuring cylinder 1 has evenly spaced graduation lines 12 along the bottom of the filter plate 11 on its side. These graduation lines 12 are for easy observation of the amount of water that has permeated the soil. The filter plate 11 and the measuring cylinder 1 are not detachable, which prevents the filter plate 11 from detaching from the measuring cylinder 1 and being damaged during cleaning. Both the top and bottom of the measuring cylinder 1 are equipped with adapter rings 13. The inner diameter of the adapter rings 13 is the same as the inner diameter of the measuring cylinder 1, and the adapter rings 13 have external threads.

Next, connect water storage cylinder 3 to measuring cylinder 1 and fill it with an appropriate amount of water. Then, install timer 4 on water storage cylinder 3. Open ball valve 34 to allow water from inside water storage cylinder 3 to enter measuring cylinder 1, and simultaneously start timer 4 to begin timing. Observe the water leakage. After the test, disassemble water storage cylinder 3. Since water storage cylinder 3 is not in contact with soil, simply rinse it. Then pour out the water and soil from inside measuring cylinder 1, separate measuring cylinder 1 from base 2, and then clean measuring cylinder 1 from both ends, and clean base 2.

[0039] In summary, compared with the prior art, this application, by setting both ends of the measuring cylinder 1 open and setting a filter plate 11 inside the measuring cylinder 1 with the filter plate 11 fixedly set, can avoid the use of the funnel, thereby reducing the experimental tools that need to be cleaned; at the same time, the opening at both ends of the measuring cylinder 1 makes it convenient to directly rinse the measuring cylinder 1 when cleaning, and the reverse rinsing from the side of the filter plate 11 without soil can make the rinsing effect better, so as to facilitate efficient cleaning of the tools for soil infiltration test.
