TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of rock performance testing, and particularly relates to a device for visualizing the process of a hydraulic coupling test of a plate-shaped fracture body model. BACKGROUND
[0002] Rock mass hydraulic coupling refers to a physical process in which a mechanical process and a seepage process interact with each other. Under the coupling action of high ground stress and high fracture water pressure, the original fracture of an engineering rock mass is prone to expansion and mutual penetration, which leads to weakening of the rock mass strength and instability and destruction of an engineering structure. Since the destruction process of the engineering rock mass is directly related to the dynamic expansion of the fracture in the rock mass, in order to scientifically analyze the deformation and destruction process of the engineering rock mass and clarify the rock mass fracture mechanics mechanism, it is necessary to directly observe or detect the morphological parameters such as the fracture development and expansion in the engineering rock mass, and to master the evolution law of the fracture expansion and penetration under the hydraulic coupling action of the engineering rock mass.
[0003] In order to directly observe the rock mass destruction and crack expansion process in the hydraulic coupling process, researchers have made many technical innovations. In the prior art, a patent document with the application number 201711120001.X and the publication date of June 2, 2020 and the name of "a visualized coal rock mechanical behavior monitoring test device" discloses a test device with a built-in steel pressure-resistant cavity endoscope. The test device simulates the stress condition of the coal rock mass under long-term high ground stress environment in the mining process by continuously and stably applying confining pressure and axial pressure to the fracture body model. The test device collects various strain signals, acoustic emission signals, electrical signals and appearance image signals of the sample generated during the entire loading process of the sample. According to the signals, the axial and radial strain in the long-term evolution and destruction process of the sample, the time and space evolution law of the acoustic emission signal and charge signal in the destruction process of the sample, and the destruction process of the sample can be obtained, which is more conducive to establishing the action mechanism of the high ground stress field on the mechanical behavior evolution and instability catastrophe of the coal rock mass. However, the built-in endoscope of the above-mentioned device cannot work normally in the high-pressure liquid for a long time, in addition, the built-in endoscope is filled with hydraulic oil medium between the fracture body model, and the light transmission performance of the hydraulic oil is not ideal, so that the built-in endoscope is difficult to clearly track the micro-crack development process.
[0004] Secondly, in the prior art, a patent document with application number 201821829006.X and publication date of August 6, 2019, entitled "Rock closed fracture water pressure transient change testing device under impact load" seals the first pressure head and the second pressure head at both ends of the rock test piece with glass glue, and then uses an impact device to provide impact load to the rock test piece. Under the sealing action of the first pressure head and the second pressure head on the water pressure in the rock test piece, the rock test piece produces a fracture under the action of the load. However, in the above technical solution, the glass glue is used to seal the first pressure head and the second pressure head with the rock test piece. After the fracture appears in the rock test piece under high water pressure, a gap will also appear on the glass glue, causing the high-pressure water sealed in the rock test piece to overflow, resulting in unstable pressure in the rock test piece and inaccurate water pressure analysis data.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to design an improved plate-shaped fracture body model hydraulic coupling test process visualization device to solve the above problems. SUMMARY

[0020] 2、The plate-shaped fracture body model hydraulic coupling test process visualization device provided by the application can effectively isolate the fracture water and lateral pressure water inside and outside the fracture body model by setting the water pressure sealing device including the mica sheet and the rubber sleeve for fixing the mica sheet on the outer wall of the fracture body model, so that the mixing of the fracture water and the lateral pressure water is avoided to affect the test, on the other hand, the good fluidity and viscosity of the vaseline ensure that the mica sheet can maintain good sealing effect during the micro-crack propagation of the fracture body, because when the fracture body model has displacement in the plane after cracking, the fracture body model will not be subjected to the surface constraint effect from the mica sheet under the lubrication of the vaseline; by ensuring that the fracture water pressure inside the fracture body model is less than the lateral pressure outside the fracture body model, the pressure difference between the fracture water pressure and the lateral pressure and the lubrication of the vaseline between the mica sheet and the fracture body model can make the mica sheet not separate from the fracture body model, ensure that the sealing effect is good during the whole process of applying pressure to the fracture body model, and ensure the accuracy of data collection; by setting the image acquisition system for collecting the growth and extension direction of the fracture inside the fracture body model on the side wall of the test cavity, combined with the high light transmittance of the mica sheet and the rubber sleeve, the process of the generation and extension of the fracture in the fracture body model is visualized, and the difficulty of observing the fracture distribution inside the fracture body model is effectively reduced.

[0033] The working principle of the plate-shaped fracture body model hydraulic coupling test process visualization device of the present application is as follows: when the plate-shaped fracture body model hydraulic coupling test process visualization device of the present application is applied, first, the water pressure sealing device 221 is arranged on the fracture body model 22, and the mica sheet 2211 is pressed tightly and closely on the surface of the fracture body model 22 by the rubber sleeve 2213 to avoid the side pressure water 11 entering the fracture body model 22 through the gap between the mica sheet 2211 and the fracture body model 22 to mix with the fracture water 12 and affect the test; then, the fracture body model 22 is placed between the upper pressure plate 21 and the lower base plate 23, and the transmission pressure shaft 31 is used to press the upper pressure plate 21 to fix the fracture body model 22 between the upper pressure plate 21 and the lower base plate 23; then, the side pressure water 11 is injected into the area between the fracture body model 22 and the test cavity 20 to provide side pressure for the fracture body model 22, and the fracture water is injected into the fracture body model 22 to apply fracture water pressure to the inside of the fracture body model 22; the above process should ensure that the water pressure of the side pressure water 11 is always greater than the water pressure of the fracture water 12, so that in the process of generating the fracture on the fracture body model 22, the pressure difference between the side pressure and the fracture water pressure makes the mica sheet 2211 remain attached to the surface of the fracture body model 22, and at the same time, the lubricating effect of the vaseline makes the fracture body model 22 have displacement in the plane when the fracture body model 22 generates a crack along the tip of the through fracture 2212, and the fracture body model 22 is not constrained by the surface of the attached mica sheet 2211, ensuring that the micro-crack of the fracture body is not constrained by the surface force during the micro-crack propagation process; on the other hand, the good fluidity and viscosity of the vaseline can ensure the sealing effect of the mica sheet 2211 during the micro-crack propagation process of the fracture body; in addition, the high-transmittance mica sheet 2211 and the rubber sleeve 2213 can clearly present the whole process of the micro-crack initiation and propagation of the fracture body model, and the built-in light source 201 and the miniature scope 41 can collect image data of the whole process of the micro-crack initiation and propagation in the model.
