Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of road engineering testing technology, and in particular to a dynamic deformation modulus tester. Background Technology
[0002] The dynamic deformation modulus tester is a portable device used for quickly testing the mechanical properties of geotechnical structures such as roadbeds and foundations. It applies instantaneous loads by dropping a hammer, measures the settlement deformation of the soil under dynamic loads, and then calculates the dynamic deformation modulus (Evd value). This parameter effectively reflects the stiffness and bearing capacity of the soil under impact loads.
[0003] Existing dynamic deformation modulus testers typically require multiple repeated impact tests on the same location during use, necessitating manual lifting, fixing, and releasing of the drop hammer each time. For example, utility model patent CN220704606U discloses an Evd dynamic deformation modulus tester, which includes: a pressure stabilizing platform and a main rod. A pair of grip handles are fixedly connected to the top of the pressure stabilizing platform, and a connecting recess is fixedly connected to the top of the pressure stabilizing platform. A dust removal mechanism is provided inside the connecting recess. A pair of limiting plates are fixedly connected to the side wall of the main rod, and a buffer mechanism is provided at the bottom of the main rod.
[0004] While the aforementioned dynamic modulus tester can utilize the gravity of the falling hammer to drive the dust removal mechanism for cleaning the main rod, the lifting, fixing, and releasing of the falling hammer requires operators to repeatedly perform actions such as lifting, positioning, and unlocking, which increases labor intensity over extended periods. Furthermore, manual operation can easily lead to slight deviations in the release height and posture of the impact hammer, affecting the accuracy and stability of the test data and introducing human error.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a dynamic deformation modulus tester to address the aforementioned shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: This utility model discloses a dynamic deformation modulus tester, comprising a loading assembly including a drop hammer, a guide rod, and a damping element. The guide rod is vertically arranged, the drop hammer is slidably connected to the guide rod, and the damping element is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the guide rod.

[0009] Furthermore, connecting rods are fixedly connected to both ends of the side wall of the limiting plate, and the connecting rods pass through the side wall of the mounting box and are slidably connected thereto.
[0010] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a connecting rope and a fixed pulley, the fixed pulley being fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the horizontal plate. A slider is slidably connected to the second support plate, and two parallel, spaced-apart connecting plates are fixedly connected to the side wall of the slider facing the first support plate.

One end of the connecting rope is fixedly connected to the top surface of the drop hammer, and the other end passes sequentially around the fixed pulley and the first movable pulley and is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the horizontal plate. A driving component is fixedly connected to the second support plate, the driving component being used to drive the slider to move vertically.
[0011] Furthermore, the driving component includes a mounting column, which is vertically fixed to the outer wall of the second support plate.

[0012] Furthermore, a second movable pulley is rotatably connected between the two connecting plates, with a gap between the first and second movable pulleys, and the connecting rope passes between the first and second movable pulleys.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention features a lifting component and an automatic release locking component. The lifting component, controlled by a controller, automates the lifting of the drop hammer, while the automatic locking and release component locks and releases the hammer, eliminating the need for manual lifting and releasing.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0020] It is understood that all electrical components mentioned in this article are electrically connected to the main controller and power supply, and all electrical components mentioned in this article are conventional and known devices. This application will not elaborate further. The main controller can be a conventional and known device such as a computer that performs control. The control circuit of the main controller can be implemented by a person skilled in the art through simple programming. The power supply is also common knowledge in the art. Furthermore, this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices. Therefore, this utility model will not explain the control method and circuit connection in detail. At the same time, all parts not described in detail in this utility model are common technologies known to those skilled in the art.
[0021] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the system includes: a loading assembly comprising a drop hammer 1, a guide rod 2, and a damping element 3. The guide rod 2 is vertically positioned, the drop hammer 1 is slidably connected to the guide rod 2, and the damping element 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the guide rod 2. A load plate 4 is detachably connected to the bottom end of the damping element 3. A support frame comprising a vertically positioned first support plate 5 and a second support plate 6. A horizontal plate 7 is fixedly connected between the top ends of the first support plate 5 and the second support plate 6, and the horizontal plate 7 is detachably connected to the top end of the guide rod 2. An automatic locking and releasing assembly is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first support plate 5 for automatically locking and releasing the drop hammer 1. A lifting assembly is used to automatically lift the drop hammer 1. A controller 8 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first support plate 5, and both the automatic locking and releasing assembly and the lifting assembly are electrically connected to the controller 8.
[0022] Specifically, the drop hammer 1 is a cylindrical structure with a weight of 10kg. It has a guide hole in its center, which fits with the guide rod 2 with a clearance, allowing the drop hammer 1 to slide along the guide rod 2. A flange is welded to the top of the guide rod 2 to mate with the horizontal plate 7, and the two are detachably connected by bolts. The damping component 3 is a butterfly spring assembly. The load plate 4 includes a circular steel plate, a force sensor, and a vibration sensor; its specific structure is existing technology and will not be described further. It also includes a settlement measuring instrument and a Bluetooth miniature printer. The electronic settlement measuring instrument collects deflection data, processes it, and automatically calculates the dynamic deformation modulus Evd value. The settlement measuring instrument is connected to the sensor on the load plate via a cable. The controller 8 includes a PLC control module, a touch screen, and operation buttons; its connection and control methods with the various components are existing technology and will not be described further.
[0023] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the automatic locking and releasing assembly includes a mounting box 9, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the first support plate 5. A telescopic component 10 is fixedly connected inside the mounting box 9, and the telescopic end of the telescopic component 10 penetrates the side wall of the mounting box 9 and is fixedly connected to a horizontally set limiting plate 11. A limiting ring 12 that cooperates with the limiting plate 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the drop hammer 1. The telescopic component 10 is electrically connected to the controller 8.
[0024] The telescopic component 10 specifically employs an electric push rod. When the drop hammer 1 is raised to a set height, the controller 8 controls the telescopic end of the telescopic component 10 to extend, causing the limiting plate 11 to move towards the drop hammer 1 until the limiting plate 11 moves directly below the limiting ring 12. At this point, the top surface of the limiting plate 11 contacts the bottom surface of the limiting ring 12, thus locking the drop hammer 1. During the impact test, the controller 8 controls the telescopic end of the telescopic component 10 to shorten, causing the limiting plate 11 to move away from the drop hammer 1 until it detaches from the limiting ring 12. The drop hammer 1 then falls freely along the guide rod 2 under the influence of gravity.
[0025] Specifically, connecting rods 13 are fixedly connected to both ends of the side wall of the limiting plate 11. The connecting rods 13 penetrate the side wall of the mounting box 9 and are slidably connected to it. The two connecting rods 13 can limit and guide the two ends of the limiting plate 11 to prevent the limiting plate 11 from deflecting during the extension and retraction process.
[0026] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-5As shown, the lifting assembly includes a connecting rope 14 and a fixed pulley 15, with the fixed pulley 15 fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the horizontal plate 7. A slider 16 is slidably connected to the second support plate 6, and two parallel and spaced connecting plates 17 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the slider 16 facing the first support plate 5. A first movable pulley 18 is rotatably connected between the two connecting plates 17. One end of the connecting rope 14 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the drop hammer 1, and the other end passes sequentially around the fixed pulley 15 and the first movable pulley 18 and is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the horizontal plate 7. A driving component is fixedly connected to the second support plate 6, which drives the slider 16 to move vertically.
[0027] The connecting rope 14 is made of stainless steel wire rope with a PVC wear-resistant coating. One end is fixed to the lifting ring welded to the top of the drop hammer 1 by a rope clamp, and the other end passes through the groove of the fixed pulley 15, through the gap between the first movable pulley 18 and the second movable pulley 24, and is finally fixed to the wire rope fixing seat on the bottom surface of the horizontal plate 7 by bolts. The connecting rope 14 is wound around to ensure that when the slider 16 moves down, it drives the first movable pulley 18 to move down, thereby pulling the connecting rope 14 to lift the drop hammer 1.
[0028] Specifically, the driving component includes a mounting post 19, which is vertically fixed to the outer wall of the second support plate 6. A vertically extending groove 20 is formed through the mounting post 19, within which a lead screw 21 is rotatably connected. A slider 16 is threaded onto the lead screw 21 and slidably connected to the groove 20. A motor 22, specifically a servo motor, is fixedly connected to the top surface of the mounting post 19, and its output end is coaxially fixedly connected to the lead screw 21. A vertically extending slot 23 communicating with the groove 20 is formed on the inner wall of the second support plate 6, through which two connecting plates 17 pass and slidably connect. The motor 22 is electrically connected to the controller 8.
[0029] The motor 22 drives the lead screw 21 to rotate, and the screw drive drives the slider 16 to move linearly in the groove 20.
[0030] Specifically, a second movable pulley 24 is rotatably connected between the two connecting plates 17, and a gap is set between the first movable pulley 18 and the second movable pulley 24, and the connecting rope 14 passes between the first movable pulley 18 and the second movable pulley 24.
[0031] By setting the second movable pulley 24, the connecting rope 14 can be restricted between it and the first movable pulley 18. During the upward movement of the slider 16, the connecting rope 14 is prevented from detaching from the first movable pulley 18, so that when the slider 16 moves downward, the connecting rope 14 cannot be re-attached to the first movable pulley 18.
[0032] Working principle of this utility model: When using the dynamic deformation modulus tester, the device is placed on the test site. The controller 8 controls the motor 22 to start, and the motor 22 drives the lead screw 21 to rotate. Through the threaded transmission, the slider 16 moves vertically downward along the slide groove 20. During the downward movement of the slider 16, the first movable pulley 18 and the second movable pulley 24 move downward synchronously. Through the fixed pulley 15, the connecting rope 14 is pulled to lift the drop hammer 1 along the guide rod 2.
[0033] When the drop hammer 1 rises to the preset height, the controller 8 receives the position detection signal (which can be achieved through a motor encoder or an additional position sensor, not detailed but in accordance with conventional control logic), and then controls the motor 22 to stop running and controls the telescopic end of the telescopic component 10 to extend. The telescopic end of the telescopic component 10 drives the limiting plate 11 to move towards the drop hammer 1 until the top surface of the limiting plate 11 is in contact with the bottom surface of the limiting ring 12 of the drop hammer 1, thereby achieving the support and locking of the drop hammer 1.
[0034] Then control the motor 22 to reverse, which drives the lead screw 21 to reverse, and through the threaded transmission, the slider 16 moves vertically upward along the slide groove 20. During the upward movement of the slider 16, the first movable pulley 18 and the second movable pulley 24 move upward synchronously, releasing the clamping and fixing of the connecting rope by the first movable pulley 18.
[0035] Then, during the impact test, the telescopic end of the control telescopic component 10 is shortened, the limit plate 11 is released from the limit ring 12 and unlocked, and the drop hammer 1 falls freely along the guide rod 2 under the action of gravity. After being buffered by the damping component 3, the impact force is transmitted to the load plate 4 at the bottom. During the impact, the force sensor on the load plate 4 collects the impact load data in real time, the vibration sensor captures the vibration response signal, and the settlement measuring instrument collects the site deflection data simultaneously.
[0036] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on its differences from other embodiments. Similar or identical parts between embodiments can be referred to interchangeably. For the apparatus disclosed in the embodiments, since they correspond to the methods disclosed in the embodiments, the description is relatively simple; relevant parts can be referred to the method section.
[0037] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present utility model by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
