Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of rock mechanics testing technology, and more specifically to a high-temperature cold shock triaxial testing apparatus and method. Background Technology

[0002] In the exploration and development of deep energy resources such as deep oil and gas, geothermal energy, and coalbed methane, rocks often face complex environments including high ground stress and cold shocks from high-temperature surrounding rocks. Examples include the cold shock of drilling fluid on the high-temperature surrounding rocks during deep drilling, and the cold shock of water and liquid nitrogen on high-temperature reservoir rocks during fracturing for oil and gas reservoir enhancement. Cold shocks cause sudden temperature changes in the high-pressure, high-temperature surrounding rocks, leading to non-uniform deformation within the surrounding rocks, the expansion of existing fractures, or the initiation of new fractures, significantly impacting the strength of the surrounding rocks. Investigating the mechanical response and damage mechanisms of rocks under the coupled effects of high temperature, high pressure, and cold shocks is crucial for engineering design, stability assessment, and resource extraction efficiency.

[0003] Triaxial compression testing of rocks is an important tool in geotechnical engineering for studying the mechanical properties of rocks. However, existing triaxial testing equipment mostly focuses on determining the basic mechanical parameters of rocks under normal temperature or stable high temperature and high pressure conditions. Although some experimental equipment can achieve the rock cooling process through water cooling, water cooling heat exchange is time-consuming and the cooling rate is slow, making it difficult to achieve the effect of high temperature cold shock. Furthermore, water cooling has a certain time delay effect, making it impossible to accurately control the cooling rate and magnitude, and making it difficult to accurately simulate the damage and mechanical response of rocks under the coupled effects of high pressure, high temperature and cold shock.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of experimental device that can simulate the high-temperature cold shock of rock samples under triaxial loading conditions, study the effects of the coupling effect of confining pressure, high temperature and cold shock on the mechanical properties and failure modes of rocks, and provide more accurate data support and theoretical basis for the analysis of rock mechanical response in complex environments in deep engineering.

[0044] Step 6: Rock sample removal

[0045] The confining pressure pump discharges the confining pressure fluid from the confining pressure chamber, the lifting cylinder drives the confining pressure chamber to rise, the rock sample is removed, and the test ends.

[0046] The beneficial technical effects of this invention are:

[0047] The high-temperature cold shock triaxial testing apparatus and method of this invention places a cooling hollow column (vaporization chamber) in the confining pressure chamber. It utilizes the phase change of liquid nitrogen to absorb heat from the confining pressure liquid, thereby reducing the temperature of the confining pressure liquid and the rock sample within the confining pressure chamber. Furthermore, through the control of a high-frequency solenoid valve for liquid inlet, a high-frequency solenoid valve for vaporization, and a high-frequency solenoid valve for exhaust, the frequency and total amount of liquid nitrogen vaporization are precisely controlled, thus achieving precise control of the cooling rate and amplitude. Moreover, the liquid nitrogen vaporization rate is fast, and there is no delay in energy absorption during a single vaporization, effectively solving the problems of large delays in traditional water-cooled cooling and difficulty in accurately controlling the cooling rate and amplitude.

[0056] A high-temperature cold shock triaxial testing device includes a loading unit, a heating unit, a liquid nitrogen cold shock unit, and sensor components.

[0057] Rock sample 4 is placed on the loading unit, which is used to apply axial pressure and confining pressure to rock sample 4.

[0058] The loading unit includes a loading frame 101, a axial pressure cylinder 102, a loading shaft 103, a loading head 104, a loading base 111, a confining pressure chamber 106, and a confining pressure pump 108.

[0059] A axial pressure cylinder 102 is located at the upper end of the loading frame 101. The telescopic end of the axial pressure cylinder 102 is connected to one end of the loading shaft 103, and the other end of the loading shaft 103 is provided with a spherical loading head 104. The loading base 111 is located directly below the loading head 104. A groove is formed at the upper end of the loading base 111, and a loading pad 105 is placed in the groove. A rock sample is placed between the loading pad 105 and the loading head 104, and the loading pad 105 and the loading head 104 apply an axial load to the rock sample 4. The lower end of the confining pressure chamber 106 is open, and the lower end of the confining pressure chamber 106 can seal and connect to the edge of the loading base 111. The loading shaft 103 passes through the upper end of the confining pressure chamber 106, and the loading shaft 103 can dynamically seal and connect to the confining pressure chamber 106. The confining pressure pump 108 is connected to the confining pressure chamber 106 via a hydraulic pipeline. The confining pressure pump 108 is used to inject confining pressure fluid at a set pressure into the confining pressure chamber 106, and the confining pressure fluid applies confining pressure to the rock sample 4.

[0060] A lifting slide rail 110 is provided on the loading frame 101, and the lifting slide rail 110 is arranged vertically. A lifting slider is provided on the outer wall of the confining pressure chamber 106, and the lifting slider slides in conjunction with the lifting slide rail 110. A lifting cylinder 109 is provided at the bottom of the loading frame 101, and the lifting cylinder 109 is arranged vertically. The telescopic end of the lifting cylinder 109 is connected to the outer wall of the confining pressure chamber 106.

[0061] The outer wall of the pressure chamber 106 is provided with an insulation layer 107 to maintain the temperature inside the pressure chamber 106 and prevent experimental personnel from being burned and heat loss.

[0062] The servo controller 112 is connected to the axial pressure cylinder 102 and the confining pressure pump 108 via signal cables. It is used to control the axial pressure cylinder 102 to apply axial load to the rock sample 4 and the confining pressure pump 108 to apply confining pressure to the rock sample 4, thereby reducing the fluctuation of axial load and confining pressure caused by temperature changes in the confining pressure fluid and the rock sample 4.

[0063] A heating unit is used to transfer heat to rock sample 4.

[0064] The heating unit includes a resistance wire 201, a power controller 202, and a power supply 203. The resistance wire 201 is connected to the power supply 203 via the power controller 202. The resistance wire 201 is fixed to the top of the confining chamber 106 and is arranged around the rock sample 4. The power of the resistance wire 201 is controlled by the power controller 202 to adjust the heating rate and amplitude. Several support rods are arranged circumferentially at the top of the confining chamber 106, and the resistance wire 201 is wound around these support rods.

[0065] Resistance wires 201 are arranged around rock sample 4 and work with confining fluid in confining chamber 106. The resistance wires 201 around rock sample 4 heat the confining fluid in confining chamber 106, and the confining fluid then conducts heat to rock sample 4. The confining fluid surrounds rock sample 4, which can make the confining fluid and rock sample 4 heat up quickly and evenly to the set temperature value.

[0066] The liquid nitrogen cold shock unit is used to transfer the cold energy generated by the vaporization of liquid nitrogen to rock sample 4.

[0067] The liquid nitrogen cold shock unit includes a liquid nitrogen storage tank 301, a multi-way valve 302, a cooling hollow column, and a vacuum pump 304.

[0068] Liquid nitrogen storage tank 301 is filled with liquid nitrogen. The outlet of liquid nitrogen storage tank 301 is connected to the inlet of multi-way valve 302 via an inlet pipe. Several outlets of multi-way valve 302 are connected to cooling hollow columns via delivery pipes. The cooling hollow columns are located in confining pressure chamber 106. Several cooling hollow columns are arranged around rock sample 4. The cooling hollow columns are connected to vacuum pump 304 via an outlet pipe.

[0069] The cooling hollow columns are arranged around the rock sample 4 and work in conjunction with the confining fluid in the confining pressure chamber 106. The cooling hollow columns around the rock sample 4 cool the confining fluid in the confining pressure chamber 106, and the confining fluid in the confining pressure chamber 106 then conducts the cooling energy to the rock sample 4. The confining fluid surrounds the rock sample 4, which enables the confining fluid and the rock sample 4 to be rapidly and uniformly reduced to the set temperature value.

[0070] The cooling hollow column is divided into a liquid storage chamber 3032 and a vaporization chamber 3034. A liquid inlet pipeline connects to the liquid storage chamber 3032, and a vapor outlet pipeline connects to the vaporization chamber 3034. The liquid storage chamber 3032 and the vaporization chamber 3034 are connected by a transition pipeline. A liquid inlet high-frequency solenoid valve 3031 is installed on the liquid inlet pipeline, a vaporization high-frequency solenoid valve 3033 is installed on the transition pipeline, and an exhaust high-frequency solenoid valve 3035 is installed on the exhaust pipeline. The sidewalls of the vaporization chamber 3034 are made of a highly thermally conductive material to efficiently absorb external energy.

[0071] Before injecting liquid nitrogen into the vaporization chamber 3034, the vaporization chamber 3034 is first evacuated by the vacuum pump 304.

[0072] By controlling the opening and closing frequency, number of times, and duration of the liquid inlet high-frequency solenoid valve 3031, the vaporization high-frequency solenoid valve 3033, and the exhaust high-frequency solenoid valve 3035, the liquid inlet frequency, vaporization frequency, and exhaust frequency are controlled and cyclically operated. By controlling the cyclic speed and the number of cycles, the heat absorption rate and heat absorption energy of the vaporization chamber 3034 are controlled.

[0073] The solenoid valve controller 305 is connected to the liquid inlet high-frequency solenoid valve 3031, the vaporization high-frequency solenoid valve 3033, and the exhaust high-frequency solenoid valve 3035 via signal cables to control the opening and closing frequency, number of times, and duration of each high-frequency solenoid valve.

[0074] Liquid nitrogen first flows into the storage chamber 3032, and then flows into the vacuum vaporization chamber 3034. In the vaporization chamber 3034, the liquid nitrogen changes from liquid to gas. The phase change of nitrogen absorbs heat in the confining pressure chamber 106, thereby reducing the temperature in the confining pressure chamber 106. Then, it is discharged through the exhaust high-frequency solenoid valve 3035 and the vacuum pump 304. The vaporization chamber 3034, which cools the hollow column, achieves cold impact on the rock sample 4 in the confining pressure chamber 106.

[0075] The sensor is used to monitor and collect the mechanical state data of rock sample 4 and the temperature change of the environment in which rock sample 4 is located.

[0076] The sensor components include temperature sensors, stress sensors, strain sensors, and acoustic emission sensors, and the sensor signals are connected to the data acquisition unit (computer).

[0077] A high-temperature cold shock triaxial test method, using the high-temperature cold shock triaxial test apparatus described in this embodiment, includes the following steps:

[0078] Step 1: Rock Sample Installation

[0079] After sealing and wrapping the rock sample 4 with the loading pad 105, it is placed on the groove of the loading base 111. The lifting cylinder 109 drives the confining pressure chamber 106 to descend, so that the lower end of the confining pressure chamber 106 is sealed to the edge of the loading base 111.

[0080] Step 2: Apply axial compression and confining pressure

[0081] The axial pressure cylinder 102 drives the loading head 104 through the loading shaft 103 to act on the upper end of the rock sample 4, applying initial axial pressure to the rock sample 4. The confining pressure pump 108 injects the set confining pressure liquid into the confining pressure chamber 106 to apply confining pressure to the rock sample 4.

[0082] Step 3: Heat and maintain the temperature

[0083] Turn on the power supply 203, and control the resistance wire 201 to heat the confining fluid through the power controller 202. The heat is transferred to the rock sample 4 through the confining fluid, so that the confining fluid and the rock sample 4 are heated to the set temperature value and maintained.

[0084] Step 4, Cooling shock

[0085] Liquid nitrogen from the liquid nitrogen storage tank 301 is intermittently injected into the vaporization chamber 3034 of the cooling hollow column to vaporize and absorb heat, thereby reducing the temperature of the confining liquid and rock sample 4 and subjecting rock sample 4 to cold shock.

[0086] Specifically, the solenoid valve controller 305 is connected to the liquid inlet high-frequency solenoid valve 3031, the vaporization high-frequency solenoid valve 3033, and the exhaust high-frequency solenoid valve 3035 via signal cables to control the rapid opening and closing of the liquid inlet high-frequency solenoid valve 3031, the vaporization high-frequency solenoid valve 3033, and the exhaust high-frequency solenoid valve 3035.

[0087] The liquid inlet high-frequency solenoid valve 3031 opens, and the vaporization high-frequency solenoid valve 3033 closes, allowing liquid nitrogen from the liquid nitrogen storage tank 301 to enter the storage chamber 3032. The storage chamber 3032 acts as a buffer and pressure stabilizer, completing the liquid inlet operation. The liquid inlet high-frequency solenoid valve 3031 closes, the vaporization high-frequency solenoid valve 3033 opens, and the exhaust high-frequency solenoid valve 3035 closes, allowing liquid nitrogen to enter the vaporization chamber 3034 from the storage chamber 3032. The liquid nitrogen vaporizes and absorbs heat, causing a rapid drop in temperature within the vaporization chamber 3034. The vaporization chamber 3034 absorbs heat from the confining fluid and rock sample 4 within the confining pressure chamber 106, rapidly reducing the temperature of the confining fluid and rock sample 4, thus completing the vaporization heat absorption operation and achieving a cold shock to the rock sample 4. The exhaust high-frequency solenoid valve 3035 is opened, the liquid inlet high-frequency solenoid valve 3031 is opened, and the vaporization high-frequency solenoid valve 3033 is closed. Under the action of the vacuum pump 304, nitrogen is discharged through the exhaust pipeline, and liquid nitrogen continues to enter the liquid storage chamber 3032 from the liquid nitrogen storage tank 301, completing the exhaust and liquid inlet operation.

[0088] The opening and closing frequency, number of times, and duration of the liquid inlet high-frequency solenoid valve 3031, the vaporization high-frequency solenoid valve 3033, and the exhaust high-frequency solenoid valve 3035 are controlled by the solenoid valve controller 305, thereby controlling the frequency, number of times, and duration of heat absorption during vaporization of liquid nitrogen in the vaporization chamber 3034, and ultimately accurately controlling the cooling rate and amplitude.

[0089] Step 5, Rock Sample Loading

[0090] After rock sample 4 underwent the confining pressure, heating, and cold shock cooling set in the test, the loading unit continuously loaded rock sample 4.

[0091] During steps 2 to 5, the sensor device monitors and collects the mechanical state data of rock sample 4 and the temperature change of the environment in which rock sample 4 is located in real time.

[0092] Specifically, the ambient temperature of rock sample 4 is monitored and collected in real time by a temperature sensor, and stress and strain data of rock sample 4 under stress and high temperature cold shock are collected by stress sensor and strain sensor. The minute stress changes and deformations of rock sample 4 are recorded in real time, and the acoustic emission parameters of rock sample 4 are recorded in real time by acoustic emission sensor, so as to provide accurate data for subsequent mechanical analysis.

[0093] Step 6: Rock sample removal

[0094] Confining pressure pump 108 discharges confining pressure fluid from confining pressure chamber 106, lifting cylinder 109 drives confining pressure chamber 106 to rise, rock sample 4 is removed, and the failure mode of rock sample 4 is observed. By analyzing the mechanical property data of rock sample 4 during the entire high-temperature cold shock and loading process, the influence law of the coupling effect of confining pressure and high-temperature cold shock on the mechanical properties and damage of rock is obtained, and the test ends.

[0095] This concludes the detailed description of this embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings. Based on the above description, those skilled in the art should have a clear understanding of the high-temperature cold shock triaxial testing apparatus and method of the present invention. The high-temperature cold shock triaxial test apparatus and method of the present invention sets a cooling hollow column (vaporization chamber 3034) inside the confining pressure chamber 106. It utilizes the phase change of liquid nitrogen to absorb heat from the confining pressure liquid, thereby reducing the temperature of the confining pressure liquid and rock sample 4 within the confining pressure chamber 106. Furthermore, through the control of the inlet high-frequency solenoid valve 3031, the vaporization high-frequency solenoid valve 3033, and the exhaust high-frequency solenoid valve 3035, precise control of the liquid nitrogen vaporization frequency and total amount is achieved, thus enabling precise control of the cooling rate and amplitude. Moreover, the liquid nitrogen vaporization rate is fast, and there is no delay in energy absorption during a single vaporization, effectively solving the problems of large delays in traditional water-cooled cooling and difficulty in accurately controlling the cooling rate and amplitude. This makes it better suited for studying the influence of the coupling effect of pressure and high-temperature cold shock on the mechanical properties and failure modes of rocks, providing more accurate data support and theoretical basis for the analysis of rock mechanical response in complex engineering environments. The installation of the rock sample 4 and the operation of temperature rise, heat preservation, and cooling shock are simple, and the cooling rate and amplitude can be accurately controlled, easily and accurately achieving the test objectives.
