Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of soil moisture content testing equipment, and in particular to a soil moisture content testing equipment for dam filling. Background Technology
[0002] In dam filling projects, the moisture content of the soil is a key parameter, which directly affects the compaction effect, stability and durability of the soil. Therefore, it is very important to test the moisture content of the filling soil during the construction process.
[0003] The existing publication number CN221686363U, entitled "A Soil Moisture Content Detector," includes a movable base and a through hole. A bracket is fixedly installed on the top of the movable base, and a cylinder is fixedly installed on the top of the bracket. A lifting frame is fixedly installed at one end of the cylinder's output shaft, and a moisture content sensor is fixedly installed inside the lifting frame. The advantages of this invention are: the cooperation between the movable base, through hole, bracket, cylinder, lifting frame, moisture content sensor, hollow sleeve, first gear, cleaning brush, and drive device allows for more thorough cleaning of residual material on the surface of the moisture content sensor after it has completed the soil moisture content detection operation. The cooperation between the fixed frame, second motor, lead screw, U-shaped frame, support plate, and guide sleeve allows the support plate to contact the ground for support of the movable base, making the positioning of the movable base simpler and more convenient.
[0004] However, the soil moisture content detection method mentioned above uses a moisture content sensor to detect the soil moisture content. However, the moisture content sensor determines the soil moisture content by detecting air humidity, which means that the detection is affected by the external air humidity and affects the accuracy of the soil moisture content detection. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model solves the problems in related technologies and proposes a device for detecting the moisture content of dam filling soil.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a device for detecting the moisture content of dam fill soil, including a storage component and a support component. The storage component includes a storage cylinder, the top of which is detachably fitted with a screw cap. An oil shell is fitted and fixed on the outer wall of the storage cylinder. The oil shell is filled with heat-conducting oil, and multiple heating rods are vertically fixed inside the oil shell. Rod frames are vertically fixed on the bottom of both sides of the outer wall of the oil shell, and screw-hole slide frames are vertically slidably assembled on the rod frames. The support component includes a slide frame, with two slide frames symmetrically arranged on both sides of the oil shell. A slider is vertically slidably assembled in the slide frame, and a screw-hole clamping frame is vertically fixed on the slider. The screw-hole clamping frame is fixedly connected to the screw-hole slide frame by locking bolts. An electronic pressure gauge is vertically fixed on the lower side of the slide frame, and the top of the electronic pressure gauge is fixed on the slider.
[0007] As a preferred option, multiple air holes are evenly and through the screw cap, and a piece of cloth is horizontally fixed on the inner bottom surface of the screw cap.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment, a stirring rod is vertically rotatably connected to the middle of the screw cap, and a stirring motor is vertically fixed on the top surface of the screw cap, with the output end of the stirring motor fixed to the end of the stirring rod.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment, a fixing bracket is horizontally fixed on the bottom surface of the slide frame, and the bottom end of the fixing bracket is fixed by screws.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the inner wall of the storage cylinder is provided with an internal thread, and the internal thread on the storage cylinder is assembled and connected with the screw cap thread.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment, a spring is vertically fixed on the top surface of the screw-hole carriage, and the top end of the spring is fixed on the top surface of the rod frame.
[0012] As a preferred option, a vibration motor is vertically fixed on the outer wall of the oil tank.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When measuring the moisture content of dam fill soil, the dam fill soil is placed in the storage cylinder of the storage component, and then the screw cap is threaded onto the storage cylinder. The screw hole slide on the outer wall of the storage component is fixedly assembled with the screw hole frame on the support component. The slider on the screw hole frame slides vertically down the slide frame, pressing against the electronic pressure gauge to record the initial weight value. When drying the soil, the heating rod inside the oil shell is turned on to heat the heat transfer oil in the oil shell. The heat of the heat transfer oil is transferred to the soil through the wall of the storage cylinder, and the moisture in the soil evaporates and is discharged. After a certain period of time, the weight value is recorded again. The moisture content of the soil sample is determined by subtracting the two values. It is not affected by the external environment and improves the accuracy of soil moisture content detection. Attached Figure Description

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a device for testing the moisture content of dam fill soil includes a storage component 1 and a support component 2. The storage component 1 includes a storage cylinder 11, with a detachable screw cap 13 installed at the top of the storage cylinder 11. An oil shell 12 is fitted and fixed on the outer wall of the storage cylinder 11. The oil shell 12 is filled with heat-conducting oil, and multiple heating rods 121 are vertically fixed inside the oil shell 12. Rod frames 123 are vertically fixed at the bottom of both sides of the outer wall of the oil shell 12, and screw-hole slides 124 are vertically slidably assembled on the rod frames 123. The support component 2 includes two sliding frames 21, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the oil tank 12. A slider 24 is vertically slidably assembled within each sliding frame 21, and a screw-hole retainer 25 is vertically fixed to the slider 24. The screw-hole retainer 25 is fixedly connected to the screw-hole slide 124 by locking bolts 26. An electronic pressure gauge 23 is vertically fixed to the lower side of the sliding frame 21, and the top of the electronic pressure gauge 23 is fixed to the slider 24. A fixing bracket 22 is horizontally fixed to the bottom surface of the sliding frame 21. The bottom of the fixing frame 22 is fixed with screws. The inner wall of the storage cylinder 11 has an internal thread 111, and the internal thread 111 on the storage cylinder 11 is threadedly connected to the screw cap 13. When it is necessary to measure the moisture content of the dam fill soil, the dam fill soil is placed in the storage cylinder 11 of the storage component 1, and then the screw cap 13 is threadedly assembled onto the storage cylinder 11. The screw hole slide 124 on the outer wall of the storage component 1 is fixedly assembled with the screw hole frame 25 on the support component 2. The slider 24 on 25 slides vertically down on the slide frame 21, pressing against the electronic pressure gauge 23 to record the initial weight value. When drying the soil, the heating rod 121 inside the oil shell 12 is opened to heat the heat transfer oil in the oil shell 12. The heat of the heat transfer oil is transferred to the soil through the wall of the storage cylinder 11. The moisture in the soil evaporates and is discharged after a certain period of time. The weight value is recorded again. The moisture content of the soil sample is determined by subtracting the two values. It is not affected by the external environment and improves the accuracy of soil moisture content detection.
[0027] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 and 4 As shown, multiple air holes are evenly distributed through the screw cap 13, and a cloth piece 131 is horizontally fixed on the inner bottom surface of the screw cap 13. A stirring rod 132 is vertically rotatably connected to the middle of the screw cap 13, and a stirring motor 133 is vertically fixed on the top surface of the screw cap 13. The output end of the stirring motor 133 is fixed to the end of the stirring rod 132. In order to improve the comprehensiveness of water vapor evaporation during use, the stirring motor 133 is started to drive the stirring rod 132 to rotate, and the water in the soil sample in the storage cylinder 11 is stirred and evaporated quickly.
[0028] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 and 5As shown, a spring 125 is vertically fixed on the top surface of the screw hole slide 124, and the top end of the spring 125 is fixed on the top surface of the rod 123. A vibration motor 122 is vertically fixed on the outer wall of the oil shell 12. In order to improve the comprehensiveness of water vapor evaporation during use, the vibration motor 122 is started to drive the storage cylinder 11 to vibrate, causing the screw hole slide 124 on the outer wall of the storage cylinder 11 to slide vertically on the rod 123, compressing the spring 125 to deform, causing the storage cylinder 11 to vibrate, which in turn causes the soil sample to vibrate, accelerating the contact of the soil sample with the inner wall of the storage cylinder 11 for drying.
[0029] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to measure the moisture content of the dam fill material, the dam fill material is placed in the storage cylinder 11 of the storage component 1, and then the screw cap 13 is threaded onto the storage cylinder 11. The screw hole slide 124 on the outer wall of the storage component 1 is fixedly assembled with the screw hole frame 25 on the support component 2. The slider 24 on the screw hole frame 25 slides vertically down on the slide frame 21, pressing against the electronic pressure gauge 23 to record the initial weight value. When drying the soil, the heating rod 121 inside the oil shell 12 is opened to heat the heat transfer oil in the oil shell 12. The heat of the heat transfer oil is transferred to the soil through the wall of the storage cylinder 11, and the moisture in the soil evaporates and is discharged.
[0030] The above are preferred embodiments of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Any obvious improvements, substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
