Ring 34, wherein the upper end of the guide rod 31 passes through the upper plate 13, and the guide rod 31 can guide the movement of the lower plate 11 and the upper plate 13 under force to avoid horizontal displacement. The material and shape of the guide rod 31 are set according to the actual bearing capacity required by the pile foundation and the test fluid pressure. The sealing groove 24 is open on the lower side and communicates with the sealing plug cavity 23 on the upper side. The lower end face of the sealing ring 34 is larger than the lower end face of the first sealing sleeve 17, so that when the upper end of the sealing plug 22 is fitted into the first sealing cavity 18, the upper end face of the sealing ring 34 is in close contact with the lower end face of the first sealing sleeve 17, preventing concrete from entering the first sealing cavity 18 during grouting.

[0025] The guiding mechanism 30 further includes: a sealing sleeve 25, a positioning groove 26, an elastic ring plug 27, and a sealing cavity 28. The sealing sleeve 25 is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the lower plate 11. The positioning groove 26 is provided at the upper end of the sealing sleeve 25. The elastic ring plug 27 is fitted into the positioning groove 26. The sealing cavity 28 is provided in the sealing sleeve 25. The elastic ring plug 27 is slidably connected to the sealing groove 24.

In use, the column cage, lower plate 11, and upper plate 13 are inserted into the pre-drilled pile foundation hole, and grouting is carried out through the concrete guide pipe. During grouting, the elastic ring plug 27 and the sealing groove 24 cooperate to prevent concrete from entering the sealing cavity 28, the sealing plug 22 and the first sealing cavity 18 cooperate to prevent concrete from entering the sealing plug cavity 23, and the second sealing sleeve 19 prevents concrete from entering the second sealing cavity 21, thus achieving a seal and avoiding affecting the guiding function of the guide rod 31. During testing, hydraulic oil is injected into the oil pipe 16 by a hydraulic press, which can apply vertical pressure to the upper plate 13 and the lower plate 11. The bearing capacity of the pile foundation is then tested by the amount of pile deformation under pressure and the amount of displacement of the upper plate 13 and the lower plate 11. The guide rod 31 can guide the displacement of the upper plate 13 and the lower plate 11 to avoid horizontal displacement from affecting the test results. After the test was completed, concrete was injected into the second sealing sleeve 19 for grouting reinforcement, so that the experimental pile foundation met the usage requirements.
