Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of flipping devices, and more specifically, to a coarse-grained soil infiltration device that is easy to flip. Background Technology

[0002] Coarse-grained soil permeameters, as key devices for accurately testing the permeability of liquids in soil, play an important role in many engineering and scientific research fields. The typical operating procedure involves filling a cylindrical container with a large quantity (up to tens of kilograms) of coarse-grained soil, followed by rigorous permeability testing.

[0003] After the test is completed, the soil in the container needs to be emptied for subsequent analysis or preparation for the next test. However, due to the large amount of soil used, the weight of the container holding the coarse soil increases dramatically, often to the point that it is difficult to move by hand. At this point, turning the container over and successfully emptying the soil is not only extremely laborious, requiring a great deal of physical strength from the operator, but also poses a significant safety risk during the operation. A slight mistake could result in injury to the operator, such as a sprained back or a crushed foot.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a labor-saving and safe device specifically designed to assist in the soil dumping work after coarse soil permeability testing, thereby improving work efficiency, reducing operational risks, and ensuring the personal safety of workers.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] Example

[0025] The following description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, further illustrates the point, as shown in the appendix. Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 7 As shown, the easy-to-turn coarse-grained soil infiltration device of this embodiment includes a platform 10, an infiltration pipe 11 vertically disposed on the platform 10, a pair of fixing rings 13 sleeved on the outer wall of the infiltration pipe 11, fixing blocks 14 disposed on the fixing rings 13, a connecting rod for connecting the pair of fixing blocks 14, a slider 15 slidably disposed on the connecting rod, a first driving device 20 for driving the slider 15 to rise and fall, and a second driving device 30 for driving the slider 15 to rotate; the pair of fixing rings 13 are distributed in the vertical direction. Specifically, during use, first move the slider 15 so that its height is at the center of gravity of the permeation tube 11 (this can be easily calculated based on the amount of soil). Then, fix the position of the slider 15. Next, use the first drive device 20 to drive the slider 15 to rise. The permeation tube 11 is lifted by the slider 15, connecting rod, fixing block 14, and fixing ring 13. Then, use the second drive device 30 to drive the slider 15 to rotate. Similarly, the permeation tube 11 is flipped by the slider 15, connecting rod, fixing block 14, and fixing ring 13, thereby emptying the soil inside the permeation tube 11. By moving the slider 15 to the center of gravity of the permeation tube 11, the force and difficulty required to flip the permeation tube 11 can be effectively reduced, and the difficulty of manual operation can be effectively reduced. For heavy permeation tubes 11, a single person can operate the operation, effectively reducing the difficulty and danger of emptying the soil from heavy permeation tubes 11 and improving work efficiency.

[0026] In this embodiment, a first screw 17 is also provided between the pair of fixed blocks 14; the first screw 17 is rotatably connected to both fixed blocks 14, and the first screw 17 is threadedly connected to the slider 15; the connecting rod is parallel to the first screw 17. Specifically, when adjusting the height of the slider 15, the slider 15 can be adjusted up and down by rotating the first screw 17, and the self-locking of the first screw 17 and the slider 15 can also be achieved through the threaded connection and the restriction of the slider 15 by the connecting rod.

[0027] In this embodiment, the first driving device 20 includes a base 21 connected to the platform 10, a slide rod 22 vertically mounted on the base 21, a second screw 23 vertically mounted on the base 21, a driving rod 24 connected to the slider 15 and horizontally mounted, a sleeve 25 sleeved on the outer wall of the driving rod 24, a first limiting tube 26 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sleeve 25, and a second limiting tube 27 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first limiting tube 26; the first limiting tube 26 is slidably connected to the slide rod 22, the inner wall of the second limiting tube 27 is provided with internal threads, the second limiting tube 27 is threadedly connected to the second screw 23, and the second screw 23 is rotatably connected to the base 21. Specifically, by rotating the second screw 23, the height of the second limiting tube 27 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the height of the sleeve 25 and the drive rod 24. Since the drive rod 24 is connected to the slider 15, rotating the second screw 23 allows the sleeve 25, drive rod 24, slider 15, connecting rod, fixing block 14, fixing ring 13, and permeation tube 11 to be lifted via the second limiting tube 27. The position of the slider 15 needs to be determined first, and then the drive rod 24 is connected to the slider 15. The slide rod 22 and the first limiting tube 26 support and restrict the movement of the sleeve 25.

[0028] In this embodiment, the base 21 includes a clamping plate 211 clamped to the side wall of the tabletop 10, a base plate 212 disposed above the clamping plate 211, a support rod 213 for connecting the clamping plate 211 and the base plate 212, and a 7-shaped support plate 214 disposed on the base plate 212; the lower end of the sliding rod 22 is fixedly connected to the base plate 212, and the upper end of the sliding rod 22 is fixedly connected to the support plate 214; the upper end of the second screw 23 is rotatably connected to the support plate 214. Specifically, the support plate 214 and the base plate 212 can better support the sliding rod 22 and the second screw 23.

[0029] In this embodiment, the clamping plate 211 is a horizontally arranged U-shaped structure, and the clamping plate 211 is detachably clamped to the edge of the table 10. Specifically, when not in use, the entire device can be removed from the table 10 and then applied to other permeation tubes 11 that require flipping and discharge, thus eliminating the need to equip each permeation tube 11 with a separate device, which can effectively reduce costs.

[0030] The second driving device 30 in this embodiment includes a driven wheel 31 fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the driving rod 24, a horizontally mounted slide plate 36, a driving wheel 32 fixedly mounted on the slide plate 36, a transmission belt 33 connecting the driving wheel 32 and the driven wheel 31, and a rocker arm 34 connected to the driving wheel 32. The driving wheel 32 is rotatably connected to the slide plate 36, which has a pair of clearance holes. The slide rod 22 and the second screw 23 are slidably mounted in the pair of clearance holes. The second driving device 30 also includes a connecting rope 35 connecting the sleeve 25 and the slide plate 36. Specifically, the slide plate 36 and the sleeve 25 can be connected by the connecting rope 35 and the transmission belt 33, so that the two can be raised and lowered synchronously. When the permeation tube 11 is raised by the second screw 23, the driving wheel 32 can be rotated by the rocker arm 34, thereby driving the driven wheel 31 to rotate by the transmission belt 33, and then driving the slider 15 to rotate by the driving rod 24, ultimately achieving the purpose of flipping the permeation tube 11. The transmission belt 33 can also be replaced by chain and sprocket transmission, or gear transmission, etc.

[0031] In this embodiment, the rocker arm 34 is detachably connected to the drive wheel 32. Specifically, this allows the rocker arm 34 to be removed for rotation of the first screw 17 and the second screw 23.

[0032] In this embodiment, the slider 15 has a connecting tube 16 on its side wall. The cross-section inside the connecting tube 16 is square, and the cross-section of the drive rod 24 is square and adapted to match the connecting tube 16. Specifically, the height of the slider 15 needs to be determined first using the first screw 17, and then the second screw 23 is rotated according to the height of the slider 15 so that the drive rod 24 and the connecting tube 16 are at the same height. Then, the drive rod 24 is inserted into the connecting tube 16 to achieve the engagement between the two. It should be noted that only the part of the drive rod 24 that connects to the connecting tube 16 is square, while the rest is circular.

[0033] In summary, the easy-to-turn coarse-grained soil infiltration device of this embodiment first moves the position of the slider 15 so that the height of the slider 15 is at the center of gravity of the infiltration tube 11 (this can be easily calculated based on the amount of soil). Then, the position of the slider 15 is fixed, and the first driving device 20 drives the slider 15 to rise. The infiltration tube 11 is lifted by the slider 15, connecting rod, fixing block 14, and fixing ring 13. Then, the second driving device 30 drives the slider 15 to rotate. Similarly, the infiltration tube 11 is turned over by the slider 15, connecting rod, fixing block 14, and fixing ring 13, thereby emptying the soil inside the infiltration tube 11. By first moving the slider 15 to the center of gravity of the infiltration tube 11, the force and difficulty required to turn the infiltration tube 11 can be effectively reduced, and the difficulty of manual operation can be effectively reduced. For heavy infiltration tubes 11, a single person can operate the device, effectively reducing the difficulty and danger of emptying the soil from heavy infiltration tubes 11 and improving work efficiency.

[0034] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
