Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of physical model experimental device for granular slope disasters, specifically an experimental device for simulating the evolution and development of granular slopes under real terrain. Background Technology
[0002] Granular slopes are widely distributed in high-altitude and cold mountainous areas of my country. Their formation mainly stems from the long-term freeze-thaw cycle and strong weathering of rock slopes. Due to different mountainous terrain conditions, the morphology and degree of damage of granular slopes vary. Therefore, studying the development and evolution process of granular slopes under different terrain conditions provides core theoretical support for the prevention and control of granular slope disasters.
[0003] Granular slopes are a significant source component of debris flow hazards. Under rainfall conditions, combined with mud and water, granular slopes evolve into debris flows. Under snowfall conditions, the internal structure of granular slopes is extremely unstable, leading to slippage and further evolution into avalanches mixed with granular debris. The interaction between granular slopes and factors such as precipitation and snow accumulation creates a chain reaction of hazards, significantly increasing the overall risk to the region. Furthermore, research on granular slopes in western my country's terrain reveals that the morphology of granular slopes varies depending on the valley type. Some granular slopes are relatively stable, while others are in a critical state of failure, with granular debris breaking through retaining walls and causing large pieces of rock to fall, posing a serious threat to road safety, personnel safety, and engineering safety.
[0004] Therefore, studying the development and evolution of granular slope disasters under different topographic conditions is of great significance for regional safety. Based on this disaster background, this device was designed, which will provide guidance for actual engineering production and daily life. Utility Model Content

[0042] The 3D scanning component includes a 3D laser scanner 8 and a tripod 801 set at the bottom of the 3D laser scanner 8. The 3D laser scanner 8 is connected to a host computer 9.

[0053] The specific working process of this utility model is as follows:
[0054] In actual engineering, different valleys have different angles and depths, and the width and amount of the replenishment path in the material replenishment area are different. By surveying the actual granular slopes, we can obtain the valley data that produces the granular slopes and conduct scale tests.
[0055] Based on the width of the sliding path in the material source area and the inclination of the material source area, the supply width and supply angle of the material supply plate 1 are adjusted according to the similarity ratio. The supply width is determined by the distance between two adjacent grid bars 101, and the supply angle is met by adjusting the stainless steel grid bars 501 on the sliding plate adjustment frame 5.
[0056] Based on the surveyed valley angle and valley depth, the angle of the sliding acrylic plate 2 is adjusted according to the similarity ratio; based on the scale of the material source area and sliding area in the actual granular slope, the replenishment height is determined according to the experimental design similarity ratio, that is, the height of the material source replenishment plate 1 to the inclined surface of the lower stacked acrylic trough 3, and the height is adjusted with the replenishment support 102 as the reference.
[0057] The annual sludge production rate was obtained by surveying the actual granular slope, and the scale of each recharge was determined based on the similarity ratio; experiments were conducted using granular particles from the surveyed situ.
[0058] Before the experiment begins, place the sensors on the information acquisition board 202. The number of sensors and information acquisition boards is determined according to the experimental requirements. They can be placed according to the principle of dividing into three, five, or eight equal parts. Connect the sensors to the information acquisition equipment.
[0059] A 3D laser scanner 8 and a high-speed camera 6 are placed directly in front of the model box 4. The high-speed camera 6, the acoustic emission information acquisition instrument 701 and the multi-functional dynamic signal acquisition instrument 702 in the signal acquisition equipment system 7 are connected to the host computer 9. The equipment is adjusted, and the in-situ particles are placed on the material source supply plate 1. The movable acrylic baffle 103 is quickly pulled out to allow the granular particles to fall freely. The number of supply times and the supply weight for each supply are determined based on the chip production rate. Before each supply, the slope is scanned using the 3D laser scanner 8, and the slope morphology before each supply is recorded. After the experiment, the results are recorded.
[0060] By overlaying and comparing the three-dimensional laser scanning cloud images before and after each resupply, the accumulation and development process of granular materials can be analyzed. Based on the acoustic emission and vibration signals collected during each resupply, the stability of the slope can be determined, providing a scientific basis for future construction safety and subsequent engineering monitoring.
