Abstract

A loading platform for a rock mechanics test system (MTS) to realize simple and reliable connection between a high temperature and high pressure force sensor in a triaxial chamber cavity and an upper solid rigid column. The loading platform for rock mechanics test includes a master rod, a secondary rod and a stop sleeve sleeved on the master rod; the stop sleeve is provided with two corbel structures; the secondary rod is composed of a secondary rod head body and a secondary rod body; a circular magnetic block is fixed on the secondary rod to adsorb a hole alignment sleeve sleeved on the secondary rod; and the hole alignment sleeve marked with a first scale line and a second scale line.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A loading platform for rock mechanics test, comprising: a master rod for aligning with a central threaded hole and a secondary rod for aligning with a peripheral limiting hole;
a first center-to-center distance between the master rod and the secondary rod equal to a second center-to-center distance between the central threaded hole and the peripheral limiting hole; and
a stop sleeve is sleeved on the master rod to keep the master rod and the secondary rod in a horizontal level and a first center-to-center distance between the master rod and the secondary rod is equal to a second center-to-center distance between the central threaded hole and the peripheral limiting hole;
wherein the stop sleeve is cylindrical and provided with two corbel structures including an upper corbel and a lower corbel;
an end round hole axis of the upper corbel coincides with an end round hole axis of the lower corbel;
the end round hole axis of the upper corbel and the end round hole axis of the lower corbel are parallel to an axis of the master rod;
a circular magnetic block is fixed on a secondary rod body, the circular magnetic block is configured to stick to a hole alignment sleeve sleeved on the secondary rod body;
an inner diameter of the hole alignment sleeve equals an inner diameter of a steel pin in a limiting hole arranged on a sensor;
the hole alignment sleeve aligns a bottom of the secondary rod body at a first scale line and a second scale line;
the first scale line corresponds to a relaxed or aligned state, and the second scale line corresponds to a contracted or aligning state; and
the secondary rod is composed of a secondary rod head body and the secondary rod body, wherein a spring is sleeved on a part of the secondary rod body connecting to the secondary rod head body, and the secondary rod body moves inside the spring.

2. The loading platform for rock mechanics test of claim 1 , wherein, the secondary rod body and the upper corbel are fixed by means of a horizontal cylindrical pin.

3. The loading platform for rock mechanics test of claim 1 , wherein, the master rod is composed of a threaded rod, a smooth cylinder and a smooth cylinder with a horizontal hole; the threaded rod is configured to rotate into the central threaded hole at a lower end of a solid rigid column in a triaxial chamber of a test system, the smooth cylinder is arranged in a middle of the master rod, and the stop sleeve is sleeved on the smooth cylinder.

4. The loading platform for rock mechanics test of claim 3 , wherein, the master rod is provided with a horizontal cylindrical short rod, the horizontal cylindrical short rod runs through a round hole arranged on the smooth cylinder with the horizontal hole of the master rod; and after the horizontal cylindrical short rod is inserted into the round hole on the smooth cylinder with the horizontal hole, the master rod is configured to rotate the threaded rod into the central threaded hole at a lower end of a solid rigid column in a triaxial chamber of a test system.

5. The loading platform for rock mechanics test of claim 1 , wherein, the secondary rod body of the secondary rod is a cylindrical rod; a rolling steel ball is arranged on the secondary rod head body at an upper part of the secondary rod; and an outer diameter of the secondary rod head body is smaller than an inner diameter of the peripheral limiting hole.

6. The loading platform for rock mechanics test of claim 1 , wherein, the spring is a cylindrical compression spring.
