Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of geotechnical engineering indoor geotechnical test equipment, and particularly relates to a nondestructive visual bidirectional sealing sample preparation device for bulk materials, an assembling method of the nondestructive visual bidirectional sealing sample preparation device for the bulk materials, and a nondestructive visual bidirectional sealing sample preparation method for the bulk materials.
Background
The accuracy of test data in an indoor geotechnical test is extremely important, and the preparation of a sample is the core of the accuracy of the test data and is the key for ensuring the value of the geotechnical test data. The sample preparation requires that the sample preparation ensures that the uniformity and the density are within an error range: the maximum allowable error between the density of the sample prepared by the disturbed soil sample and the preparation standard is +/-0.02 g/cm3The maximum allowable difference value between samples in a disturbed soil parallel test or a group of samples is +/-0.02 g/cm3. In particular, in the case of the sample formation of the bulk material (e.g., sandy soil), the particles of the bulk material are not sticky, and it is extremely difficult to ensure uniform, equal-density, and non-destructive sample formation.
The conventional sample loading method for discrete materials is to directly sleeve a rubber film on a base, prepare a sand sample split round die, and then load and form a sample. However, the existing instrument and equipment cannot realize complete sealing with the bottom of the sample preparation circular mold in the circumferential direction, so that a rubber film cannot be tightly attached to a molding barrel, and sample loading cannot be finished or can be finished only by other auxiliary equipment; there are also many experimenters who use a frozen sample to complete the loading of discrete materials. However, both methods have drawbacks: 1. the existing sand sample preparation circular mold is arranged on an instrument base, a split mold can be fixed only by sleeving and tightening, and an auxiliary device is also configured to continuously pump air to enable a rubber film to be tightly attached to a molding barrel, so that the problems that the number of parts is large, the operation is inconvenient, the height and the density of a sample are uncontrollable during sample loading, and the uniformity and the density of the sample cannot reach the design standard are solved; 2. the frozen sample preparation method is only suitable for saturated samples, the samples need to wait for thawing after being installed, the thawing time cannot be controlled, and the samples are subjected to one-time freeze-thaw disturbance. Therefore, the sample preparation of the prior bulk material is difficult, and if the sample is directly loaded on the base of the instrument, the sample forming uniformity and the density are uncontrollable; if the frozen sample is used for loading, the sample is severely disturbed.
