TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to sand sampling technical field especially suitable for undisturbed soil sampling device of indoor direct shear test. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, the undisturbed sand sampling device is a kind of equipment that can collect and keep the sand sample with natural water content, structure and nature for subsequent test and analysis. The undisturbed sand sampling device in the prior art has many deficiencies in practical application. First, even if the undisturbed soil sample is taken, it is cut into the same size sample as the cutting ring in the laboratory, then the sample is pressed into the shear through the water-permeable stone. This process undoubtedly increases the disturbance of the soil body, which affects the accuracy of the test results to some extent. At the same time, after sampling by the traditional method, the sample is placed into the collection box. This process causes large disturbance of the sand during sampling, which affects the undisturbed nature of the sample. The patent application "Portable undisturbed soil sampling device (CN201821195486.9)" provides a portable undisturbed soil sampling device, which can directly take out the sampling cylinder for saving the soil sample. The sampling cylinder is sealed at both ends with a cover. In this way, the collected soil sample is saved in the sampling cylinder, avoiding the damage caused by secondary loading and taking of the soil sample. However, compared with the present patent, the sampling device may leak out before the two ends of the sampling cylinder are sealed, causing disturbance of the sand. The patent application "Tread pressure type undisturbed soil sampler (CN201910595389.1)" provides a tread pressure type undisturbed soil sampler. After the tread pressure type undisturbed soil sampler is taken out of the soil, the lead screw is rotated and the sample ring is smoothly pushed out of the sample ring. This can effectively avoid large-area disturbance of the soil. However, the sample ring cannot be directly placed into the shear box for indoor direct shear test. After the sample is pushed into the shear box, the undisturbed soil is squeezed, causing the structure of the soil to change. The patent application "Undisturbed soil sampler and sampling method (CN201610505355.5)" provides an undisturbed soil sampler. The soil body is cut by the sampler, which is convenient to take out and can well reduce the disturbance of the undisturbed soil sample. However, compared with the present patent, the sample taken out by the device cannot be directly placed into the shear box for test. The patent application "Undisturbed soil sampler (CN202022279966.7)" provides an undisturbed soil sampling device. The overall length of the device is adjustable and suitable for sampling at different depths. Compared with the present patent, if the soil is relatively soft during sampling, it may leak out of the cutting ring opening. The patent application "Portable undisturbed soil sampling device (CN202420347597.6)" discloses a portable undisturbed soil sampling device. The hydraulic power is used to penetrate and pull out the soil pipe, which is less destructive to the sample and has higher sampling success rate. Compared with the present patent, the soil is easy to leak out of the pipe opening during the pulling-out process of the soil pipe, causing loss or disturbance of the soil body. SUMMARY

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sampling method for undisturbed sand and soil, and to allow the sample to be placed in a shearing box along with a ring cutter after collection, thus solving the problem of soil disturbance during the sampling and collection process and greatly improving the accuracy of indoor shear tests.

[0009] In the sampling state, the bladed cutting plate is inserted into the rectangular groove; in the laboratory, the flat-angled cover plate replaces the bladed cutting plate; both the bladed cutting plate and the flat-angled cover plate are used to seal the bottom opening of the cylindrical structure.

[0010] In the sampling state, the rectangular cutting plate is arranged on top of the circular cover plate and is connected to the bladed cutting plate.

[0011] As a further preferred embodiment, the outer wall of the bladed ring cutter is provided with a triangular groove, and the inner ring of the sleeve is provided with a triangular buckle corresponding to the triangular groove.

[0012] As a further preferred option, the end of the cutting plate inserted into the through slot has a cutting edge.

[0013] As a further preferred embodiment, the upper edge of the flat-edged ring cutter is provided with a circular inner step for placing a circular cover plate; the depth of the circular inner step is less than or equal to the thickness of the circular cover plate.

[0014] As a further preferred option, the bottom of the bladed ring cutter is a ring blade edge, and the through groove is located between the bladed ring cutter and the ring blade edge.

[0015] As a further preferred option, the rectangular cutting plate and the bladed cutting plate are connected by bolts and bolt shanks.

[0016] As a further preferred embodiment, four bolts and bolt rods are provided between the rectangular cutting plate and the bladed cutting plate.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] 1. After sampling, cover the top and bottom of the ring cutter with a cover plate to prevent the sand from leaking out due to its loose texture. At the same time, the sample will not overflow before being placed into the shear box.

[0019] 2. In this utility model, after the sample is taken, the cutting plate is placed on the ring blade and fixed with bolts, thus integrating the sampling device and the collection device into one unit, which greatly reduces the disturbance of the soil during the sample collection process.

[0020] 3. The outer diameter of the ring cutter in this test apparatus is approximately equal to the inner diameter of the indoor ring cutter. After collecting the sample, the flat-edged ring cutter and the bladed ring cutter can be directly placed into the upper and lower shear boxes of the indoor straight shear to make the test results more accurate.
