Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of construction testing and sampling auxiliary technology, specifically, it is a sampling device for compacted materials based on the ring cutter method. Background Technology
[0002] The ring sampler method is a test method used to determine the density and compaction of soil. Its main purpose is to measure the dry or wet density of soil in the field by taking samples and to calculate its compaction.
[0003] Currently, when using the ring sampler method, there is a problem of difficulty in removing the sampling tube after it is inserted into the ground. Furthermore, during the removal process, precisely because the sampling tube is difficult to remove, shaking it can easily damage the sample fixed inside the tube, causing the material at both ends to leak out. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sampling device for compacted materials based on the ring cutter method, so as to solve the problem that it is difficult to remove the sample from the ground after the existing sampling device has completed the sampling.
[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical means:
[0006] A sampling device for compacted materials based on ring cutter sampling includes a sampling cylinder with an open bottom, a soil mixing cylinder with an open bottom coaxially arranged outside the sampling cylinder, a buffer cavity being separately arranged between the inner wall of the soil mixing cylinder and the outer wall of the sampling cylinder, the soil mixing cylinder and the top side of the sampling cylinder being detachably slidably connected, the outer wall of the soil mixing cylinder being constructed with a disturbance block, and a drive mechanism for driving the soil mixing cylinder to rotate coaxially on the top surface of the sampling cylinder.
[0007] Preferably, the top surface of the sampling tube has an annular groove on its outer edge, forming a stepped surface. The top surface of the soil mixing tube has a through hole, through which the top end of the sampling tube passes. The top surface of the soil mixing tube is slidably placed on the stepped surface formed by the annular groove. A drive tube is coaxially mounted on the top surface of the soil mixing tube. The inner wall of the drive tube has a first tooth structure, and the rotating end of the drive mechanism has a second tooth structure that meshes with the first tooth structure.
[0008] Furthermore, a plurality of first balls are inlaid and installed around the top surface of the annular groove along its axis, the top surface of the first balls abutting against the inner top surface of the mixing cylinder, an annular pressure plate is threadedly installed on the top side of the sampling cylinder, the annular pressure plate is installed on the side wall of the annular groove, and a plurality of second balls are inlaid and installed around the bottom surface of the annular pressure plate along its axis, the bottom surface of the second balls abutting against the outer top surface of the mixing cylinder.
[0009] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes a rotating motor mounted on the top surface of the sampling cylinder. The rotating end of the rotating motor is upward and coaxial with the sampling cylinder. A driving disk is detachably mounted on the rotating end of the rotating motor, and the second tooth structure is located on the outer edge of the driving disk.
[0010] Furthermore, the drive disk is bonded to the rotating end, and a pressure plate is threaded onto the top of the rotating end, with the bottom surface of the pressure plate fitting against the top surface of the drive disk.
[0011] Furthermore, the pressure plate includes a pressure ring threadedly connected to the rotating end, and a bearing plate is rotatably sleeved on the outer wall of the pressure ring. The bottom surface of the pressure ring and the bearing plate abuts against the top surface of the drive plate.
[0012] Furthermore, the disturbance blocks are distributed on the outer wall of the mixing cylinder.
[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects during use:
[0014] During sampling, the sampling tube is placed on the ground and pressed down to move it downwards, allowing the material to be collected into the tube. Simultaneously, the drive mechanism is activated during this downward movement, causing the mixing drum to rotate around its axis. As the mixing drum moves downwards with the sampling tube, the agitator blocks outside the mixing drum loosen the soil on its outer wall, resulting in relatively vigorous agitation of the soil on the outer side. While the soil entering the buffer chamber is still scraped by the inner wall of the mixing drum as the equipment moves downwards, the agitation force is relatively small. This ensures that the soil outside the sampling tube becomes loose without excessive disturbance affecting the sample collected inside. In this way, after sampling, when the sampling tube is lifted upwards, the material inside the sampling tube can be removed along with the soil in the buffer chamber, ensuring that the bottom of the sampling tube will not collapse when the tube is removed. Thus, after removing the equipment, simply cleaning the soil from the buffer chamber allows the sample inside the sampling tube to settle. This effectively prevents damage to the end face of the material inside the sampling tube during the sampling process. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a sampling device for compacted materials based on ring cutter sampling includes a sampling cylinder 1 with an open bottom, and a soil mixing cylinder 2 with an open bottom coaxially arranged outside the sampling cylinder 1. A buffer cavity 3 is provided between the inner wall of the soil mixing cylinder 2 and the outer wall of the sampling cylinder 1. The soil mixing cylinder 2 is detachably and slidably connected to the top side of the sampling cylinder 1. A disturbance block 4 is constructed on the outer wall of the soil mixing cylinder 2. A drive mechanism for driving the soil mixing cylinder 2 to rotate coaxially is installed on the top surface of the sampling cylinder 1.
[0026] In this way, during sampling, the sampling cylinder 1 is placed on the ground to be sampled, and then pressed down to move it downwards, allowing the material to be collected to be contained within it. Simultaneously, during the pressing down of the sampling cylinder 1, the drive mechanism is activated, causing the mixing cylinder 2 to rotate around its axis. As the mixing cylinder 2 moves downwards with the sampling cylinder 1, the agitator 4 located outside the mixing cylinder 2 loosens the soil on its outer wall, resulting in relatively vigorous agitation of the soil on the outer side. While the soil entering the buffer chamber 3 is still scraped by the inner wall of the mixing cylinder 2 as the equipment moves downwards, the external force of the agitation is relatively small. This ensures that the soil outside the sampling cylinder 1 becomes loose without excessive agitation affecting the sample collected inside. In this way, after sampling, when the sampling cylinder 1 is lifted upwards, the material inside the sampling cylinder 1 can be removed along with the soil in the buffer chamber 3, thus ensuring that the bottom of the material inside the sampling cylinder 1 will not collapse when the sampling cylinder 1 is removed. Therefore, after removing the equipment, simply cleaning the soil in the buffer chamber 3 is sufficient to allow the sample inside the sampling cylinder 1 to solidify. This effectively prevents damage to the end face of the material inside the sampling cylinder 1 during the sampling process.
[0027] Furthermore, the top outer edge of the sampling cylinder 1 is constructed with an annular groove 5 and forms a stepped surface, the top surface of the soil mixing cylinder 2 is constructed with a through hole, the top end of the sampling cylinder 1 passes through the through hole, the top surface of the soil mixing cylinder 2 is slidably placed on the stepped surface formed by the annular groove 5, a drive cylinder 6 is coaxially mounted on the top surface of the soil mixing cylinder 2, the inner wall of the drive cylinder 6 is constructed with a first tooth structure 7, and the rotating end of the drive mechanism is constructed with a second tooth structure 8 that meshes with the first tooth structure 7.
[0028] Furthermore, in order to reduce the intense friction between the mixing drum 2 and the sampling drum 1 during the rotation of the mixing drum 2, a plurality of first balls 9 are inlaid around the top surface of the annular groove 5 around its axis. The top surface of the first balls 9 abuts against the inner top surface of the mixing drum 2. An annular pressure plate 10 is threadedly installed on the top side of the sampling drum 1. The annular pressure plate 10 is installed on the side wall of the annular groove 5. A plurality of second balls 11 are inlaid around the bottom surface of the annular pressure plate 10 around its axis. The bottom surface of the second balls 11 abuts against the outer top surface of the mixing drum 2.
[0029] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes a rotating motor 12 mounted on the top surface of the sampling cylinder 1. The rotating end of the rotating motor 12 is arranged upward and coaxially with the sampling cylinder 1. A driving disk 13 is detachably mounted on the rotating end of the rotating motor 12, and the second tooth structure 8 is located on the outer edge of the driving disk 13.
[0030] In this way, by removing the pressure plate 14 and then the annular pressure plate 10, the soil mixing cylinder 2 can be removed from the outer wall of the sampling cylinder 1, thereby exposing the buffer chamber 3 and facilitating the cleaning of the soil inside the buffer chamber 3.
[0031] Meanwhile, the drive disk 13 is bonded to the rotating end, and a pressure plate 14 is threadedly installed on the top end of the rotating end. The bottom surface of the pressure plate 14 is fitted to the top surface of the drive disk 13.
[0032] Furthermore, the pressure plate 14 includes a pressure ring 15 threadedly connected to the rotating end, and a bearing plate 16 is rotatably sleeved on the outer wall of the pressure ring 15. The bottom surface of the pressure ring 15 and the bearing plate 16 abuts against the top surface of the drive plate 13.
[0033] In this way, a counterweight can be placed on the support plate 16, which facilitates the downward movement of the sampling cylinder 1.
[0034] Furthermore, the disturbance blocks 4 are distributed on the outer wall of the mixing cylinder 2.
[0035] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
