Description

Technical Field

[0002] As the only natural satellite of the Earth and the closest celestial body, with the increasing tension in the development and utilization of Earth's resources and ground space, the exploration and development of lunar underground space and the exploration and utilization of lunar resources have become the mainstream trend. Obtaining lunar rock samples through drilling and coring for research is the basis for understanding the physical and mechanical properties of lunar soil and rocks, and further forming a series of deep space resource development such as lunar mineral resource exploration and mining. At present, technologies and equipment for drilling lunar samples in extreme environments such as large day-night temperature differences, vacuum, and low gravity on the lunar surface still need to be studied and explored.

[0003] In the prior art, most are mechanical rock breaking devices at the same depth. However, in the lunar environment, there are different depth environments, and the pressures generated by different depth environments on lunar samples are different. This technical solution only drills lunar samples in the same depth environment, and the drilling conditions under different pressures cannot be obtained, resulting in limited and single experimental data, lacking accuracy and reliability. Secondly, the lunar environment is different from the Earth environment, affected by extreme environments such as microgravity, ultra-high vacuum, and large temperature differences. In the lunar environment, the size of mechanical drilling equipment, the power of the drilling equipment, and the replacement of drill pipes are all limited, resulting in problems such as low efficiency, short lifespan, and low precision of the drilling equipment.

[0059] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0060] As Figure 1 shown, the present invention provides a device for simulating laser-assisted rock breaking at different depths under a lunar base environment, including a laser emission component 1, a mechanical rock breaking component 2, and a lunar base different depth simulation component 3.

[0061] One end of the mechanical rock breaking component 2 is connected to the laser emission component 1, and the other end is disposed above the lunar base different depth simulation component 3.

[0062] The laser emission component 1 is used to generate and emit laser light. The mechanical rock breaking component 2 is used to physically break the sample 33. The lunar base different depth simulation component 3 is used to simulate the environment of the sample 33 at different depths.

[0063] The specific working process is as follows: The lunar base different depth simulation component 3 provides the preconditions of different pressures in a vacuum state. The laser emission component 1 emits laser light, irradiates the sample 33, and after acting for a period of time until the sample 33 is softened, the mechanical rock breaking component 2 is used to break the sample 33.

[0064] As Figure 1 、 2 and 9 shown, the laser emission component 1 includes a laser generating mainframe 11, an optical fiber 12, and a laser head 13. The laser generating mainframe 11 includes a housing and a laser control member 111. The housing is a hexahedron structure for protecting the laser control member 111 from being damaged by external forces. The laser control member 111 is disposed inside the housing and is used to generate high-energy laser light and adjust and control different laser working modes. The input end of the optical fiber 12 is connected to the laser generating mainframe 11, and the output end of the optical fiber 12 is connected to the laser head 13. The laser head 13 receives the signal transmitted from the output end of the optical fiber 12 and transmits the laser light generated by the laser generating mainframe 11 to the laser head 13 through the optical fiber 12.

[0065] As Figure 1 、 3As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the mechanical rock breaking assembly 2 includes a drilling rig mainframe 21, a mechanical drill bit 22, a drill pipe 23, and a slide rail 24. The drilling rig mainframe 21 includes a housing, a display, and a drilling rig control member 211. The housing is a hexahedron structure for protecting the drilling rig control member 211 from damage by external forces. The display is arranged on the surface of the housing for displaying the drilling speed and the penetration rate of the drilling rig operation. The drilling rig control member 211 is arranged inside the housing for providing power to the drilling rig, adjusting the drilling speed and the penetration rate.

[0066] The slide rail 24 is a concave slideway with an inner diameter size that can just fit the drill pipe 23. It is arranged inside the drilling rig mainframe 21 and fixedly connected to the housing. The drill pipe 23 is a cylinder, and the outer surface of the drill pipe 23 is embedded and connected to the inner wall of the slide rail 24, so that the drill pipe 23 can slide longitudinally along the slide rail 24.

[0067] The mechanical drill bit 22 is a sharp cone that can break rocks. The upper surface of the mechanical drill bit 22 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the drill pipe 23, for realizing the sliding of the drill pipe 23 in the slide rail 24, driving the mechanical drill bit 22 to move synchronously, achieving the effect of controlling the movement and expansion of the mechanical drill bit 22, and facilitating rock breaking.

[0068] As Figure 1 、 4 shown, the lunar different-depth simulation assembly 3 includes a vacuum extraction device 31, an experimental chamber 32, a sample 33, and a pressure environment simulation device 34. The vacuum extraction device 31 is arranged outside the experimental chamber 32 for extracting the gas inside the experimental chamber 32 to reach the vacuum state set by the experiment. The sample 33 and the pressure environment simulation device 34 are arranged inside the experimental chamber 32 for ensuring that the experiment of the sample 33 is carried out in the set vacuum environment. The pressure environment simulation device 34 is placed on the upper and side parts of the sample 33 for setting a certain axial pressure and confining pressure value. The experimental chamber 32 is a rigid device for ensuring that the experimental chamber 32 does not deform in the vacuum state.

[0069] As Figure 5 shown, the pressure environment simulation device 34 includes an axial pressure simulation device 341 and a confining pressure simulation device 342. The axial pressure simulation device 341 completely covers the upper surface of the sample 33 for setting different axial pressure values, and the confining pressure simulation device 342 completely covers the side surface of the sample 33 for setting different confining pressure values.

[0070] Specifically, the axial compression simulation device 341 includes an axial compression indenter 3411 and an axial compression loading machine 3412. The axial compression loading machine 3412 is disposed above the axial compression indenter 3411. The axial compression indenter 3411 is provided with three circular small holes. The middle hole is larger than the left hole and the right hole. The middle hole is used for the drill tool to pass through, facilitating the mechanical drill bit 22 to contact the surface of the sample 33 for rock breaking. The left hole and the right hole are connected to the axial compression loading machine 3412, and the axial compression loading machine 3412 is used to apply axial compression and change the axial compression value of the axial compression indenter 3411.

[0071] The confining pressure simulation device 342 includes hydraulic oil 3421, a hydraulic film 3422, and a hydraulic loading machine 3423. The hydraulic oil 3421 is used to set different confining pressure values for the sample 33. The hydraulic oil 3421 completely wraps the side surface of the sample 33, and the confining pressure value for the sample 33 is changed by changing the pressure of the liquid. The hydraulic film 3422 is used to wrap the hydraulic oil 3421, enabling the hydraulic oil 3421 to be in close contact with the sample 33 to form a completely enclosed hydraulic loading cavity. The hydraulic loading machine 3423 is disposed outside the hydraulic film and is used to apply confining pressure and change the confining pressure value of the hydraulic oil 3421.

[0072] As Figure 6 shown, the experimental chamber 32 includes a seal 321 and a chamber body 322. The seal 321 is disposed above the chamber body 322. The seal 321 is an O-ring seal and is tightly attached to the chamber body 322 using magnetic fluid sealing technology. It is used to seal the chamber body 322, making the experimental chamber 32 in a sealed state.

[0073] A circular drill hole is provided in the middle of the seal 321. The size of the drill hole is just large enough to accommodate the drill pipe 23 to enter. This facilitates the drill pipe 23 to enter the experimental chamber 32 and ensures that the drill pipe 23 passes through the drill hole while the experimental chamber 32 remains in a sealed state, facilitating experiments on the sample 33 under a vacuum state.

[0074] As Figure 4 、 6 、7 shows, the vacuum extraction device 31 includes a vacuum pump and a gas extraction pipe 312. One end of the gas extraction pipe 312 is connected to the interface of the vacuum pump, and the other end is connected to the side wall of the experimental chamber 32. The gas extraction pipe 312 is used to discharge the air in the lunar rock bucket, and the vacuum pump is used to evacuate the experimental chamber 32 to a vacuum state to simulate the real lunar environment.

[0075] The specific working process is as follows: According to the requirements of the vacuum degree in the lunar rock occurrence environment at different depths, first turn on the vacuum pump 311 to extract the air in the experimental chamber 32 through the gas extraction pipe 312, so that the experimental chamber 32 reaches the set vacuum degree value.

[0076] As Figure 2 、 8As shown in the figure, the laser head 13 is provided with a circular laser emission hole 131 and a convex lens 132. The laser emission hole 131 is placed at the bottom of the laser head 13, and the convex lens 132 is placed inside the laser head 13 and above the laser head 13. The laser is transmitted through the optical fiber 12 to the output end of the optical fiber 12, and the signal is conveyed to the laser head 13, and the laser is radiated in the form of light. The laser radiated by the laser head 13 is collimated laser, which passes through a convex lens 132 to focus the laser and is emitted from the laser emission hole 131. The laser emission hole 131 is used to realize the emission of the laser, and the convex lens 132 is used to focus the laser. The focal position is changed by changing the distance between the convex lens 132 and the laser emission hole 131.

[0077] As Figure 9 shown in the figure, the control flowchart of the drilling rig control part 211. The drilling rig control part 211 sets the drilling speed and transmits the drilling speed signal to the signal receiving end of the drill pipe 23. The signal receiving end of the drill pipe 23 receives and processes the signal and transmits it to the signal output end of the drill pipe 23 to control the drill pipe 23 to operate at the set drilling speed.

[0078] At the same time, the drilling rig control part 211 sets the drilling depth, transmits the drilling depth signal to the signal receiving end of the drill pipe 23. The signal receiving end of the drill pipe 23 receives and processes the signal, adjusts the drilling depth of the drill pipe 23, and controls the drill pipe 23 and the mechanical drill bit 22 to operate at the set drilling depth.

[0079] As Figure 3 、 10 shown in the figure, the control flowchart of the laser control part 111 is that the laser generating host 11 has two working modes: normal working mode and pulse working mode.

[0080] When the laser generating host 11 is turned on and the laser control part 111 is set to the normal working mode, the input end of the optical fiber 12 receives the signal transmitted by the laser generating host 11, and the laser generated by the laser generating host 11 reaches the output end of the optical fiber 12 through the optical fiber 12. The output end of the optical fiber 12 transmits the signal to the laser head 13 to emit the laser.

[0081] When the laser generating host 11 is turned on and the laser control part 111 is set to the pulse working mode, at this time, the width and frequency of the laser are adjustable.

[0082] The laser generating host 11 sets the width value of the laser. The laser control part 111 receives the setting signal of the width value of the laser generating host 11, adjusts the width value of the laser. The input end of the optical fiber 12 receives the transmitted signal, and the adjusted laser reaches the output end of the optical fiber 12 through the optical fiber 12. The output end of the optical fiber 12 transmits the signal to the laser head 13 to emit the laser.

[0083] The laser generating mainframe 11 sets the frequency value of the laser. The laser control component 111 receives the setting signal of the frequency value from the laser generating mainframe 11, adjusts the frequency value of the laser. The input end of the optical fiber 12 receives the transmission signal, and the adjusted laser reaches the output end of the optical fiber 12 through the optical fiber 12. The output end of the optical fiber 12 transmits the signal to the laser head 13 to emit the laser.

[0084] As Figure 11 shown, the optical fiber fixing device 14 includes an optical fiber fixing rod 141, a slip ring fixing rod 143, a plurality of slip rings 142 and a thin-walled tube 144. The thin-walled tube 144 is a hollow annular pipe for laying the optical fiber 12. The slip ring 142 is an annular ring, and a plurality of slip rings 142 are arranged at a certain distance and placed outside the thin-walled tube 144. The slip ring 142 abuts against the thin-walled tube 144 and the drill pipe 23 for fixing the thin-walled tube 144 on the drill pipe 23. The optical fiber fixing rod 141, the slip ring fixing rod 143 and the optical fiber 12 are placed inside the thin-walled tube 144. The optical fiber fixing rod 141 is fixedly connected to the optical fiber 12, and the slip ring fixing rod 143 connects a plurality of slip rings 142 for fixing the plurality of slip rings 142 to keep the slip rings 142 stationary.

[0085] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.

When the laser control component is set to the pulse working mode, the laser generating mainframe sets the width value and frequency value of the laser. The laser control component receives the setting signal from the laser generating mainframe, adjusts the laser, the optical fiber input end receives the transmission signal, and transmits the adjusted laser to the optical fiber output end through the optical fiber. The optical fiber output end transmits the signal to the laser head, and the laser is emitted from the laser head.
