Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of rock mechanics testing technology, specifically relating to a rock double-sided shear test device that works in conjunction with a press. Background Technology

[0002] Rock shear testing is an important testing technique in engineering geology, designed to determine the shear strength of rocks and rock masses. This test is crucial for understanding the mechanical properties of rocks and assessing the stability and safety of rock engineering projects. The maximum ability of a rock to resist shear failure is called its shear strength, providing important scientific evidence and technical support for fields such as civil engineering, geological engineering, and mining engineering.

[0003] To determine the shear strength of rock, different normal loads are applied to five or more test blocks. Horizontal shear force is applied using the push method until the test blocks are sheared to failure. The shear strength parameters are obtained using the Mohr's circle of stress and the Coulomb's internal friction angle formula.

[0004] Currently, indoor rock shear tests in laboratories are typically conducted using a direct shear apparatus. The direct shear apparatus is a large piece of equipment, featuring both a horizontal loading system for applying shear force to the specimen and a normal loading system for applying normal loads. Its large size means that some small laboratories cannot accommodate both a press and a direct shear apparatus simultaneously, impacting daily production efficiency. Therefore, researching a rock double-sided shear testing device that works in conjunction with a press can effectively save floor space and is of great significance for ensuring production efficiency.

[0041] The following is an example:

[0042] This utility model provides a rock double-sided shear test device that works with a press, as shown in the figure. The device mainly consists of a normal pressurization system and a shearing system. The normal pressurization system includes: a base 1, a base handle 2, a magnetic frame 4, a normal pressurization jack 5, a hand pump interface 6, a positioning column 7, and a positioning bead 14.

[0043] The base 1 of the normal pressurization system is a cuboid made of high-hardness stainless steel. It is placed horizontally in the center of the press and its surface is coated with lubricating oil to reduce friction with the magnetic frame 4. The two ends of the two wide faces of the cuboid are provided with threaded holes, and two shearing system lower fixing molds 3 are welded to the surface.

[0053] The displacement measuring device 11 of the shearing system has a groove at its bottom, allowing the shearing mold 10 of the shearing system to be placed inside the groove. Its top is used to place a spherical seat 13 for use with a press. Metal plates are horizontally welded to each side for mounting a dial indicator 12 of the shearing system to measure the displacement value of the test block in the shearing mold 10 during the shearing test.

[0054] The shearing system has two normal fixing pads 15, one end of which has a recess that matches the positioning beads 14 of the two normal pressure systems. The diameter of the cylindrical part at the other end is the same as that of the test block.

[0055] The shearing system has two inner rings 16 of the fixed mold. The outer diameter of the inner ring is the same as the arch-shaped circle diameter of the upper fixed mold 8 and the lower fixed mold 3 of the shearing system, and the inner diameter is the same as that of the test block.

[0056] The outer diameter of the inner ring 17 of the shearing die of the shearing system is the same as the circular diameter of the shearing die 10 of the shearing system, and the inner diameter is the same as that of the test block.

[0057] This utility model provides a method for using a rock double-sided shear test device in conjunction with a press, comprising the following steps:

[0058] Step 1: Hold the base handle 2 and place the base 1 on the press, and adjust its position so that the center of the two lower fixed dies 3 on the base 1 is aligned with the center of the press.

[0059] Step 2: Place the magnetic frame 4 on the base 1, connect the hand pump to the hand pump interface 6, and adjust the position so that the center of the normal pressure jack 5, the positioning bead 14 on the positioning column 7 and the two lower fixed molds 3 are collinear.

[0060] Step 3: Place the inner ring 17 of the shearing die 10 inside the shearing die 10, and then place the test block in it, positioning the shearing die 10 at the exact center of the test block. Next, attach the inner rings 16 of the fixing die 16 to both sides of the test block, and place the normal fixing pads 15 into the inner rings 16 on both sides, ensuring the non-recessed sides of the pads align with the bottom and top surfaces of the test block. Finally, transfer all the molds and the test block into the lower fixing die 3, at which point the shearing die 10 is suspended in mid-air. Adjust the position again so that the inner ring 16 of the fixing die 16 is in the exact center of the lower fixing die 3, and the inner ring 17 of the shearing die 10 is in the exact center of the shearing die 10.

[0061] Step 4: Align the two upper fixed molds 8 with the lower fixed mold 3 and tighten the hex bolts 9 to secure them. Then use a wrench to tighten the positioning pin 7 so that the positioning bead 14 on it fits into the recess of the normal fixing pad 15.

[0062] Step 5: Place the displacement measuring device 11 on the shear mold 10, place the spherical seat 13 on it, and set up dial gauges 12 on both sides. Attach the magnetic base of the dial gauges 12 to the magnetic frame 4. Use a hand pump to apply normal stress so that the positioning beads 14 on the dial gauges 11 fit into the recesses of the normal fixing pads 15. Then start the press to apply a horizontal shear force and begin recording the values ​​of the dial gauges 12 and the corresponding press readings to complete the test. This concludes the installation and usage procedure of the rock double-sided shear test device and its application method provided by this invention.

[0063] The rock double-sided shear test device provided by this utility model, which is used in conjunction with a press, has the following advantages:

[0064] This invention makes the experiment easier to operate, and the device adopts a mechanical design to make the results more accurate.

[0065] Laboratory equipment is usually equipped with a press. Therefore, the rock double-sided shear test device proposed in this invention, which is used in conjunction with a press, greatly reduces the space required in the laboratory compared with the traditional direct shear tester because it does not require a separate horizontal shear force loading system.

[0066] This invention reduces systematic errors in testing by welding a portion of the fixed mold to the base plate, thereby increasing the strength and rigidity of the fixed mold.

[0067] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model.
