[0030] 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.
[0031] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3This utility model provides an embodiment of a high-stability standard penetrator, including a support base 1 for supporting a support rod 2, and a winding device at the rear, consisting of a motor winding drum and a cable, for driving the mandrel 3 upward. This technology is prior art and will not be described in detail. The support rod 2 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the support base 1, and is configured as two sections that can be folded. A support member is provided at the top, and rollers are provided on the inner side. This technology is prior art and will not be described in detail. A stabilizing frame 4 is provided at the front side of the support rod 2 for supporting the penetrator. 5. The penetrometer 5 is perpendicular to the ground. The penetrometer 5 is installed on the inner wall of the front part of the stabilizing frame 4. It is a component that directly contacts the soil layer and performs the penetration operation. Under the impact force of the mandrel 3, the penetrometer 5 is driven into the soil. The engineering properties of the soil are determined by measuring the number of hammer blows required to penetrate to a certain depth. The mandrel 3 is installed on the upper part of the penetrometer 5. The mandrel 3 of a certain mass falls freely from a specified distance to generate impact force and drive the penetrometer 5 into the soil. The upper part of the support base 1 is equipped with a support mechanism, which includes a support component 6 and an auxiliary component 7.
[0032] Reference Figure 2 - Figure 4 The support assembly 6 includes a fixed shell 61 for fixing the support extension plate 63. The fixed shell 61 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the support base 1. A limiting groove 62 is formed through the upper part of the fixed shell 61. The limiting groove 62 is "I" shaped and cooperates with the limiting member 64 to limit the range of movement of the extension plate 63, so that it can only slide in a specific direction, ensuring the stable extension and retraction of the support plate 66. The extension plate 63 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed shell 61, and can extend outward as needed, driving the support plate 66 to expand the support range and enhance the stability of the instrument. The limiting member 64 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the extension plate 63 near the lower part of the limiting groove 62. The limiting member 64 cooperates with the limiting groove 62 to limit the extension plate 63 and prevent it from sliding excessively. At the same time, under the action of the compression spring 65, it can adapt to different support requirements and maintain the stability of the support plate 66.
[0033] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The upper part of the limiting member 64 is set as a flat cover, which makes it convenient for the operator to step on or press the limiting member 64 to disengage it from the limiting groove 62. The upper part of the limiting member 64 is engaged with the inner wall of the limiting groove 62. The limiting member 64 and the extension plate 63 are elastically connected by a compression spring 65, which provides an upward elastic force to the limiting member 64, so that the limiting member 64 is always engaged with the inner wall of the limiting groove 62. A support plate 66 is fixedly connected to the outside of the extension plate 63. The support plate 66 expands the support area, increases the contact area between the instrument and the ground, and improves the stability of the instrument during operation. The lower part of the support plate 66 contacts the outside of the support base 1. The cross-section of the support plate 66 is set in an L shape to reduce the space occupied during storage.
[0034] Furthermore, the auxiliary component 7 includes a fixing member 71, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixed shell 61 and serves as a guide for the auxiliary plate 72. The auxiliary plate 72 is provided on the outside of the fixed shell 61 and is located on the front and rear sides of the fixed shell 61, which enhances the structural strength of the support plate 66 and the extension plate 63. At the same time, the stability of the instrument is further improved through the cooperation of the stabilizing groove 73 and the fixing member 71. The auxiliary plate 72 is fixedly connected to the upper outer side of the support plate 66, and the stabilizing groove 73 is provided through the outer side of the auxiliary plate 72. The fixing member 71 slides on the inner wall of the stabilizing groove 73.
[0035] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The inner wall of the support plate 66 is provided with a fixing component 8, which includes a movable plate 81. The movable plate 81 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the support plate 66. The movable plate 81 moves up and down under the drive of the threaded rod 83, thereby controlling the lifting and lowering of the fixed column 82. The lower part of the movable plate 81 is fixedly connected to the fixed column 82. The lower part of the fixed column 82 is set in a conical shape to facilitate insertion into the ground. By adjusting the insertion depth of the fixed column 82, the instrument can be more firmly fixed on the ground, enhancing the applicability of the instrument in different sites, especially on soft or uneven ground. The inner walls of the support plate 66 and the extension plate 63 are provided with threaded rods 83. When the crank handle 85 is turned, the threaded rods 83 rotate, driving the movable plate 81 to move up and down, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering adjustment of the fixed column 82.
[0036] Furthermore, the fixing component 8 also includes a damping nut 84, which is fixedly connected to the upper inner wall of the support plate 66. The threaded rod 83 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the damping nut 84. The damping nut 84 can provide a certain resistance, making the rotation of the threaded rod 83 more stable, facilitating precise adjustment of the position of the fixing column 82, and preventing the fixing column 82 from moving on its own due to vibration or other reasons. The lower part of the threaded rod 83 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the moving plate 81, and the upper part of the threaded rod 83 is fixedly connected to a crank 85, which makes it convenient for the operator to rotate the threaded rod 83.
[0037] Working principle: When in use, the operator steps on or presses the limiting piece 64 to disengage it from the limiting groove 62. By pushing the limiting piece 64, the extension plate 63 slides along the inner wall of the fixed shell 61, causing the support plate 66 to extend outward and expand the support range. At this time, when the limiting piece 64 is released, under the action of the compression spring 65, the limiting piece 64 is engaged in the limiting groove 62 to ensure the stability of the support plate 66.
[0038] Meanwhile, the stabilizing groove 73 on the auxiliary plate 72 slides on the outside of the fixing member 71. Since the auxiliary plate 72 slides against the outside of the fixing shell 61, the stability of the instrument is further enhanced, ensuring that the instrument is placed firmly on the ground before testing.
[0039] If the test site is soft or uneven, turn the crank handle 85. The crank handle 85 drives the threaded rod 83 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 83 causes the moving plate 81 to move up and down on the inner wall of the support plate 66. The fixed column 82, which is fixedly connected to the lower part of the moving plate 81, rises and falls accordingly. Insert the conical fixed column 82 into the ground. Adjust the insertion depth of the fixed column 82 according to the actual ground conditions to enhance the stability and applicability of the instrument in different sites and ensure that the test is carried out smoothly.
[0040] At this time, the existing technology of the winding device consisting of a motor, a winding drum and a cable on the back of the support base 1 is started. The cable drives the mandrel 3 to rise to the specified drop distance. After reaching the set height, the mandrel 3 falls freely and generates an impact force on the penetrometer 5. Under the support and guidance of the stabilizer 4, the penetrometer 5 is driven into the soil perpendicular to the ground. By recording the number of hammer blows required to penetrate to a certain depth, the engineering properties of the soil are determined.
[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
