[0020] The present invention will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments. The following embodiments are only descriptive and not limiting, and should not be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0021] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a high-strain dynamic pile testing device includes: a top plate 2, a counterweight 3, at least three hydraulic leveling devices 7, connecting pipes 8, and a level 6. The top plate 2 is located on top of the pile 1 to be tested; the counterweight 3 is fixed on the top plate, and the top plate 2 and the counterweight 3 together constitute an impact hammer; the three hydraulic leveling devices 7 are evenly distributed between the pile top and the top plate; the connecting pipes 8 connect the hydraulic leveling devices in series to a pressurizing device; the level 6 is installed on the top plate to calibrate the level.

[0022] The counterweight 3 has a through hole 301, and the top plate 2 has a protrusion 201. The counterweight 3 passes through the protrusion and is fixed by bolts 4.

[0023] The protrusion 201 has an elongated hole 202 for mounting bolts 4. The protrusion 201 is located on both sides of the top plate and has a clearance fit with the through hole of the counterweight (clearance on one side ≤2mm). Bolts 4 are M30 high-strength bolts (grade 8.8) with spring washers for anti-loosening. The bolt hole is an elongated hole (50mm in length and 32mm in width), allowing for slight lateral adjustment of the counterweight by ±20mm.

[0024] The lifting handle 5 is installed on the top surface of the top plate 2. After adjustment, the lifting handle 5 is lifted to the test height by a crane and a release hook, and then released to drive the pile 1, thereby achieving the purpose of high strain testing.

[0025] The hydraulic leveling device 7 is a hydraulic jack, and each hydraulic jack has an anti-slip pad at the bottom.

[0026] The connecting pipeline 8 is arranged in a ring, and the oil inlet and outlet of each hydraulic leveling device 7 are connected in series with the adjacent device through a three-way valve. Before testing, the hydraulic leveling device is placed on top of the pile, and then the hammer is placed on the upper part of the hydraulic leveling device. The leveling device is pressurized by the oil pump until the hammer is level and centered, and then the oil filling valve is locked.

[0027] This invention provides a solution for high-strain testing. This solution achieves guidance through counterweight without the need for a guide frame, which can prevent the hammer from tipping over due to instability during drop and avoid uneven hammering caused by uneven pile tops, thereby improving testing efficiency.

[0028] Pile body 1 is suitable for precast concrete piles, cast-in-place piles, or steel piles with a diameter ≥ 400 mm. Top plate 2 is made of Q355B steel plate with a thickness ≥ 50 mm. Wooden boards or rubber pads can be installed at the bottom of the top plate to buffer the hammer impact force.

[0029] Operating steps:

[0030] Install the leveling device: Distribute the hydraulic leveling device 7 evenly on the top of the pile and connect it in series with the pressurization equipment through the connecting pipe 8.

[0031] Leveling the top plate: Place the top plate 2 on the leveling device, apply pressure to adjust the height of each hydraulic device, and use the level 6 to ensure that the top plate is level.

[0032] Fixed counterweight: Pass the counterweight block 3 through the protrusion 201 of the top plate and tighten it with bolts 4.

[0033] Hammering test: Lift the top plate and counterweight to the set height using handle 5 and then release them to impact the top plate to complete the test.

[0034] Through the above implementation methods, this device can improve on-site operation efficiency by more than 40% while ensuring detection accuracy. It is especially suitable for complex working conditions such as deep foundation pits and narrow sites, filling the technical gap in intelligent leveling of high strain testing equipment.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
