Description

Parallel spiral type telescopic time domain reflection probe
Technical Field
The utility model belongs to geotechnical engineering trade, agricultural and unconventional oil gas trade ground sample moisture content test field, concretely relates to scalable time domain reflection probe of parallel spiral.
Background
The water content of the rock soil sample is a key parameter influencing the mechanical property and the seepage property of the rock soil sample, is also an important index for evaluating the water demand condition of soil plants, and has important significance for accurately and rapidly measuring the water demand condition of the soil plants. The time domain reflection technology is a method for measuring the internal water content of various soil bodies by using the propagation velocity difference of electromagnetic waves in different media, and has wide application in the geotechnical engineering industry, agriculture and unconventional oil and gas industry in the last four decades. At present, rigid time domain reflection probes such as parallel two-pin type probes, parallel three-pin type probes, parallel multi-pin type probes, parallel flat plate type probes and the like are common in the market, and the rigid time domain reflection probes have a good application effect when being applied to field soil body water content measurement.
The triaxial shear test is an effective means for determining the shear strength index of a sample in a laboratory, and is widely applied to the geotechnical engineering industry and the unconventional oil and gas industry. However, when triaxial shear tests are performed on unsaturated soil samples and soil samples containing natural gas hydrate, the water content of the samples is usually determined by a method of presetting before the test or retesting after the test, or the water content of the samples is determined according to displacement, so that the real-time performance is poor and nondestructive measurement is difficult. In recent years, the Canada university of Cargary applies a parallel rigid time domain reflection probe to the measurement of the water content of an unsaturated soil triaxial shear test sample, but the length of the probe is only about one third of the height of the sample, and although the water content of the sample can be measured in real time without damage, the water content in the remaining two thirds of the height range of the sample cannot be reflected.
In order to overcome the difficulties, the utility model patent with the publication number of CN 104215499B and the publication number of CN 103196490B provides a flexible probe design scheme, which adopts a flexible parallel two-needle time domain reflection probe to replace the traditional rigid time domain reflection probe, the length of the probe reaches more than 90% of the height of the sample, the water content of the sample can be better reflected by the measured water content, and the influence on the stress-strain curve of the triaxial shear test sample is avoided. However, the above-mentioned flexible parallel two-pin time domain reflectometer probe puts high demands on sample preparation, and it is necessary to ensure that the spatial distribution position of the probe used in the triaxial shear test is consistent with the spatial distribution position of the probe used in the dielectric constant-water content correlation empirical calibration test, for example, it is necessary to ensure that the two probes are vertically consistent and parallel and the two probes are located in the same plane, which is usually difficult to achieve in recent practical application processes. Because the flexible probes (soft copper wires) are vertically arranged inside the sample, the flexible probes are straightened while sand is filled, the fact that it is difficult to guarantee that the distances between the probes inside the flexible probes are equal after the sand is filled is caused, the effect on the time domain reflection method measurement effect is greatly influenced is caused because an empirical relation is required to be calibrated in advance when the time domain reflection probes are used for measurement, the empirical relation is related to the probes, if the space distribution of the probes used in the experiment is inconsistent with the calibration, the effect of the empirical relation is also greatly influenced, and further obvious uncertainty deviation exists in the moisture content measurement result. In addition, the flexible parallel two-needle time domain reflection probe can be continuously curled in the shearing process, and the measuring effect of the water content of the sample is also influenced.
In summary, the time domain reflection probe for measuring the moisture content applicable to the existing triaxial shear test has the following defects: (1) the rigid parallel short probe can not measure the integral water content of the sample; (2) the spatial distribution of the flexible parallel probes is difficult to accurately control during sample preparation; and because the flexible probe is in the sample, after the sample is compressed, the flexible probe can also be compressed, and the flexible parallel probe can be continuously curled due to the three-axis shearing. Due to the defects, the probe is difficult to be suitable for a triaxial shear test in advance due to the fact that the empirical relation is calibrated in advance, the water content of a sample is difficult to accurately measure in the shearing process, the water content measuring result is not representative, and the like, and the application effect of the time domain reflection technology in the triaxial shear test is seriously influenced.
Therefore, a set of time domain reflection probes capable of overcoming the defects are developed, the method has important significance for developing a real-time accurate measurement technology for the moisture content of unsaturated soil and soil triaxial shear test samples containing natural gas hydrates, and meanwhile, reliable moisture content change data can be provided for determination of the synthetic amount and the decomposition amount of the natural gas hydrates in the samples.
