TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Oven drying to obtain a solid skeleton structure is a necessary pretreatment step for testing rock pores. For rocks with weak diagenesis and high water content, such as mud shale and lignite, severe shrinkage will occur when water is removed by drying, causing the original structure of the rock to be destroyed. Freeze drying is a process in which the sample is rapidly frozen at ultra-low temperature and the water in the sample is removed by sublimation under vacuum conditions. When liquid water is rapidly frozen at low temperature, it is converted into amorphous ice before crystallization occurs. This transformation does not cause linear expansion due to phase formation, so deformation of the sample can be avoided as much as possible. However, different rocks have different protection effects on rocks under different rock sample specifications, pre-freezing temperatures, and different pressures (vacuum levels).

The dust absorption net 12 is further arranged on the lower half-arc plate 9.
[0024] Specifically, when the cutting assembly cuts the high water content rock, the dust absorption net is used to absorb the cutting debris, so as to avoid flowing into the vacuum pump and damaging the vacuum pump. Moreover, the cutting debris can be reserved, so as to ensure the accuracy of monitoring the water content discharged from the high water content rock.
[0025] Meanwhile, the lower half-arc plate is detachably connected with the upper half-arc plate and the ring disc, which is beneficial to the replacement of the dust absorption net. Moreover, the dust absorption net needs to be replaced after the sampling of the high water content rock is completed or the experiment is completed.
[0026] In one embodiment, the dust absorption net 12 is arranged in three groups in an arc shape.
