Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of rock engineering measurement devices, and in particular relates to a high-temperature and high-pressure rock multifunctional CT triaxial experimental device and method. Background Art

[0002] The study of rock mechanics usually targets high temperature and high pressure conditions in deep geological areas, including the deformation characteristics, crack evolution laws, seepage characteristics and mesoscopic structure of rocks under high temperature and high pressure. The device combines CT scanning technology to obtain real-time internal structural information of rock samples under triaxial loading conditions, including crack development, deformation evolution, etc. By conducting triaxial experiments on rock samples under high temperature and high pressure conditions, the mechanical response laws of rocks in deep geological environments can be revealed.

[0003] The triaxial apparatus is a common geotechnical testing instrument designed to simulate the mechanical behavior of rocks under stratum stress conditions. However, ordinary triaxial devices can only analyze stress-strain curves, temperature, pressure, flow, etc. after uniaxial compression studies. They cannot detect changes in internal microstructures, and few test equipment set up pore pressure for seepage experiments. Therefore, the researchers modified the ordinary triaxial apparatus, organically combined the triaxial apparatus with an X-ray CT scanner, and proposed a high-temperature and high-pressure rock triaxial experimental device CN112229739A that cooperates with CT online scanning. However, this device has certain problems during actual use: 1. The top cone force sensor connects the pressure head and the upper reactor to provide force balance when the triaxial apparatus is axially loaded. However, the loading device does not have a top cone force sensor on the upper part of the triaxial apparatus mainframe, which makes it easy for the triaxial apparatus to "deviate" and "excessive deflection of the center axis" during axial loading of the specimen. 1. The device is heated by high-temperature thermal oil, which can reach a temperature control range of 0-600°. However, in actual operation, if the sample is temperature-controlled by injecting pre-cooled hydraulic oil, the temperature of the hydraulic oil is greatly affected by the environment, and it is not necessarily possible to ensure that the test temperature can reach a high temperature close to 600°. The accuracy of the test data is questionable. 2. The seepage system of the device adopts an integrated design, which does not fully consider the effect of the introduction and diversion of the seepage fluid (evenly passing the seepage fluid through the sample). If upper and lower permeable stones are added, better seepage test results can be obtained. Chinese patent CN102778464B discloses a high-temperature and high-pressure industrial CT scanning system and its use method. The system uses hydraulic pressure to apply temperature and pressure to the sample to explore the mechanical response law of rock in geological environment, but the temperature control range of the device is small and does not meet the high temperature requirements that may be required for rock tests.

[0004] Aiming at the shortcomings of the Chinese invention patent "A high-temperature and high-pressure rock triaxial experimental device in conjunction with CT online scanning" CN112229739A, the present invention redesigned and optimized the high-temperature and high-pressure rock multifunctional CT triaxial experimental device. On the premise of being able to carry out triaxial compression tests, the triaxial test device has improved the shear process force balance stability, diversion penetration capacity, scanning sample stability performance and test detection methods. This research is helpful to deeply understand the mechanical properties and behaviors of rocks under geological conditions, and provide technical support for exploring deep geological resource development and engineering construction.
