Description
- The present invention relates to a device for protecting elongate-shaped geotechnical or geophysical probes, in particular probes able to deform radially. It also concerns a probe covered with such a device.
- Various types of probe are known for determining the characteristics of a soil. Geotechnical probes are used for determining the technical characteristics of a soil, such as for example the mechanical strength. Geophysical probes are also used for evaluating the physical and chemical characteristics of soils.
- One well known type of geotechnical probe is the probe for a pressure meter. A pressure meter is an apparatus that measures in situ the characteristics of resistance and deformability of a soil. It consists of a radially expandable three-cell cylindrical probe, a set of pressurisation and pneumatic regulation components, and a volume controller. This apparatus makes it possible to know the increase in volume of a drilling slice according to the pressures applied.
- These pressure meters have been well known to persons skilled in the art since their invention by L Ménard in 1955. They are in particular described in the application FR 1 117 983.
- Since then devices for protecting these probes have been developed, in order to protect the probes when they are disposed in cohesion-lacking, gravelly or fractured soils.
- Thus a probe protection device is known consisting of a flexible tube provided with slots, as described in the applications FR 1 234 756 and
FR 2 702 565. A device consisting of two half-tubes provided with slots is also known. - However, when the probe expands, very high stresses develop at the ends of the slots, which may lead to a plastic deformation causing an irreversible widening of the slots.
- Disposing metal blades on a rubber sheath or a frame composed of springs embedded in a layer of plastics material as described in the application EP 0 146 324 is also known.
- Such a device is however very rigid, which interferes with the pressure-measurement tests.
- The invention proposes a device for protecting a geotechnical or geophysical probe, and in particular a pressure-measuring probe, remedying these drawbacks.
- In particular, the invention proposes a device for protecting the probe in hard cutting soils, adapted to high expansion of the probe cells, and which does not impair the measurement of the deformation of the probe. In particular, the protection device according to the invention has no inertia vis-à-vis the probe.
- The subject matter of the invention is thus a device for protecting a geotechnical or geophysical probe, the probe being elongate in shape and able to deform radially. The device according to the invention comprises:
-
- a plurality of elongate-shaped flexible elements, able to undergo radial deformation, in the operational configuration of the device,
- means of longitudinal compensation for the radial deformation of the flexible elements, in the operational configuration of the device,
- two flexible-element supports, each accepting one end of the flexible elements, the supports being able to move longitudinally on the probe,
- so that the flexible elements longitudinally protect the external part of the probe lying between said supports, in the operational configuration of the device.
- The means for longitudinal compensation of the radial deformation of the flexible elements advantageously consist of an interstice in at least one of the flexible-element supports and a curved end of the flexible elements, each end being disposed in reversible sliding in said interstice.
- To facilitate the acceptance of the ends of the flexible elements, the interstice is preferable delimited by two annular zones with different diameters.
- The means for longitudinal compensation of the radial deformation of the flexible elements preferably also comprise at least one damper intended to damp the longitudinal movements of at least one of the flexible-element supports, in the operational configuration of the device. The presence of these dampers optimises the longitudinal compensation for the radial deformation of the flexible elements and reduces the inertia of the probe protection device.
- In another embodiment, the flexible elements are fixed to the flexible-element supports, and the means of longitudinal compensation for the radial deformation of the flexible elements comprise at least one damper intended to damp longitudinal movements of at least one of the flexible-element supports, in the operational configuration of the device.
- The dampers used in the device according to the invention can be of any nature. It is possible in particular to use springs, or elements made from elastic material, such as polyurethane. The dampers can in particular be elastic rings.
- In order to adapt well to the currently used geotechnical and geophysical probes, which are generally cylindrical in shape, the flexible element supports are preferably cylindrical in shape. To facilitate their assembly on the probe, the flexible-element supports comprise a plurality of cylinder portions assembled together. It is in particular possible to use two half cylinders or four quarter cylinders.
- The flexible elements can be produced from any flexible material, and in particular a material able to completely resume its shape after having lost it by deformation during the radial deformation of the probe.
- The flexible elements are preferably steel blades, and in particular made from stainless steel. The flexibility of the blade will be chosen according to the envisaged deformation of the blade during geotechnical or geophysical tests.
- Another subject matter of the invention is a geotechnical or geophysical probe covered with a protection device described above.
- The device is particularly suitable for the protection of pressure-measurement probes, in particular of the type comprising three inflatable sleeves aligned along the longitudinal axis of the probe.
- In this case, the flexible element supports are preferably disposed on each side of the assembly formed by the three inflatable sleeves, for optimum protection of the probe.
- When the device comprises a damper intended to damp the longitudinal movements of at least one of the flexible-element supports, each flexible-element support is advantageously able to move longitudinally between two stops of the probe, the movement being damped by the damper.

At rest, the half-support body 801 is held against theexternal stop 18 by means of adamper 20. Thedamper 20 is a polyurethane ring. - Likewise, at the bottom end of the
probe protection device 13, in the operation configuration of theprobe 13, the flexible-element support 302 is able to move longitudinally between twostops shoe 27, thestop 22 being called the external stop, and the stop being called the internal stop.
