[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, a friction coefficient testing device for thixotropic mud includes: a motion device 1, which includes a pulley structure 11 and a moving belt 12. The moving belt 12 is arranged along the circumferential wall of the rollers of the pulley structure 11 to form a cyclic moving system. A test sample structure 2 and a standard specimen 3 are disposed on the moving belt 12. The test sample structure 2 is fixedly connected to the moving belt 12, and the bottom of the standard specimen 3 contacts the top of the test sample structure 2. A force measuring structure 4 is connected to the standard specimen 3 through a fixing device 5. When the pulley structure 11 is moved, it drives the moving belt 12 and the test sample structure 2 to move, and the test sample structure 2 and the standard specimen 3 generate friction. The specific effects of this device are as follows: the standard specimen 3 is a standard concrete specimen, cast under the same conditions using concrete used in pipe jacking construction; the top of the test sample structure 2 is equipped with thixotropic mud to be tested; the force measuring structure 4 obtains the friction value generated between the test sample structure 2 and the standard specimen 3; the friction coefficient between the thixotropic mud and the concrete is calculated based on the friction value, the mass of the standard specimen 3, and the weight of the additional applied weights; in this device, the friction coefficient is detected by measuring the force only while the test sample structure 2 is in motion, with the standard concrete specimen stationary. Since the concrete specimen remains stationary, the force measurement result directly reflects the magnitude of the friction force. This process is independent of the speed and acceleration changes of the test sample structure 2, thus effectively ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the friction coefficient measurement results, and solving the problem in existing technologies that require uniformly pulling the concrete specimen and strictly maintaining uniform motion to obtain accurate friction force.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a bubble level 6, which is horizontally mounted on the pulley structure 11 and fixedly connected to the bottom of the pulley structure 11.

When the handle 115 is rotated, it drives the multiple pulleys 113 and the moving belt 12 to move. Slowly rotating the handle 115 counterclockwise moves the pulleys 113 and the moving belt 12 to the left to detect the friction value between the test sample structure 2 and the standard specimen 3. After the test is completed, rotating the handle 115 clockwise moves the pulleys 113 and the moving belt 12 to the right, and the pulleys 113 and the moving belt 12 return to their initial positions. The design of the handle 115 facilitates the operator's control of the experimental device, allowing for easy start or stop of the experimental process by manually operating the handle without the need for complex mechanics.

The constraint ring 51 fixes and constrains the standard specimen 3 and facilitates the force gauge 42 in measuring the force applied to the standard specimen 3.

[0032] To clarify the specific structure of the fixing device 5, the fixing device 5 includes a first small pulley 53, a second small pulley 54, and a third small pulley 55. The first small pulley 53 and the second small pulley 54 are both located at the top of the column 41. The second small pulley 54 extends along the direction of the standard specimen 3.

The other end of the fixing line 52 passes sequentially around the third small pulley 55, the second small pulley 54, and the first small pulley 53 and connects to the force gauge 42. In this structure, the third small pulley 55, the second small pulley 54, and the first small pulley 53 are used to change the direction of the force, altering the direction of the force applied to the standard specimen 3, so that the force on the standard specimen 3 can be accurately measured by the force gauge 42.

[0033] The test sample structure 2 includes a soil container 21 and a soil sample 22 to be tested. The soil container 21 is fixedly mounted on the moving belt 12. The soil sample 22 is placed inside the soil container 21, and a thixotropic mud layer 23 to be tested is applied to the soil sample 22.

The soil container 21 is used to support the soil sample 22 to ensure that the soil sample 22 will not move or tip over during the experiment. The soil sample 22 is soil sampled from the testing site.

[0034] This structure also includes a weight 8, which is disposed on the standard specimen 3.
