Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of tailings testing devices, and more particularly to a tailings simulation testing device. Background Technology
[0002] Understanding the state of tailings and leachate within tailings ponds in karst areas, and clarifying their physical and mechanical properties and spatial distribution characteristics, is fundamental to understanding the leakage mechanism of tailings ponds. This understanding is essential for designing enhanced drainage and consolidation engineering and sealing leakage channels. Considering the unique hydrogeological conditions of karst areas and the need to test key parameters of tailings consolidation and leakage processes, a tailings state simulation test device for tailings ponds in karst areas was designed. This device will provide support for studying the tailings consolidation process under complex groundwater recharge conditions, including the stratified consolidation process, permeability, leachate exudation and leakage characteristics, as well as for research on enhanced drainage and consolidation engineering, design suitability evaluation, and methods for sealing key leakage points.
[0003] In existing technologies, due to the highly complex hydrogeological conditions in karst areas and the complex groundwater recharge and discharge conditions within the tailings pond, the tailings pond is situated under complex groundwater boundary conditions. Karst water continuously replenishes the pond, significantly impacting the tailings consolidation process and resulting in significant spatial heterogeneity in the consolidation state. This spatial heterogeneity creates leachate discharge points, deteriorating the seepage prevention mechanism of the solidified tailings within the pond and leading to continuous leachate leakage in karst tailings ponds. Currently, there are no commercially available simulation devices for karst tailings, making existing simulation work in karst tailings areas quite difficult. Summary of the Invention

[0028] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-3 This application provides a tailings simulation test device 100, which is a test device for testing the state of tailings 200 in a karst development area. The tailings simulation test device 100 includes a frame 10, a basin 20, a first flexible rubber membrane 30, and a consolidation degree measuring instrument 40.

Optionally, the frame 10 supports the sump 20 and suspends the sump 20 in the air, making it easier to observe and test the sump 20 in the air.
[0030] The basin 20 is connected to the frame 10 and is used to contain tailings 200. The basin 20 is provided with a receiving trough 21. The tailings 200 are filled into the receiving trough 21 and are flush with the upper end surface of the basin 20 so that the pressure application component 92 can apply pressure to the tailings 200 in the basin 20. The left side wall of the basin 20 is provided with a plurality of first through holes 22, which are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction relative to the basin 20. The right side wall of the basin 20 is provided with a plurality of second through holes 23, which are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction relative to the basin 20.
[0031] At this time, the reservoir 20 is filled with tailings 200. The left side wall of the reservoir 20 is provided with eight first through holes 22. The eight first through holes 22 are arranged vertically at intervals relative to the reservoir 20 and distributed at different depths to facilitate the consolidation degree test of tailings 200 at different depths and obtain consolidation degree data of tailings 200 at different depths. The right side wall of the reservoir 20 is provided with eight second through holes 23. The eight second through holes 23 are arranged vertically at intervals relative to the reservoir 20 and distributed at different depths to facilitate the permeability test of tailings 200 at different depths and obtain permeability data of tailings 200 at different depths. Optionally, the first through holes 22 are elliptical.
[0032] The first flexible rubber membrane 30 is disposed on the outer wall of the reservoir 20 and arranged relative to each first through hole 22. There are multiple first flexible rubber membranes 30, and the multiple first flexible rubber membranes 30 respectively seal each first through hole 22. The multiple first flexible rubber membranes 30 are arranged relative to tailings 200 at different depths.
[0033] At this time, there are eight first flexible rubber membranes 30, and the eight first flexible rubber membranes 30 respectively close the eight first through holes 22, so that the consolidation degree measuring instrument 40 can apply pressure to the first flexible rubber membranes 30 at different depths and test the consolidation degree of tailings 200 at different depths, so as to test tailings 200 at different depths and obtain consolidation degree data of tailings 200 at different depths.
[0034] The consolidation degree measuring instrument 40 is set on the outside of the reservoir 20 and is used to test the consolidation degree of the tailings 200 relative to the first flexible rubber membrane 30. The consolidation degree measuring instrument 40 applies pressure to the consolidation degree of the tailings 200 of the first flexible rubber membrane 30 at eight points respectively, so as to test the consolidation degree of the tailings 200 at eight different depths and thus obtain the consolidation degree of the tailings 200 at each depth.
[0035] The consolidation degree tester 40 includes a housing 41, a load sensor 42, a spring 43, and a displacement meter 44. The displacement meter 44 is movable and extendable within the housing 41, and one end of the displacement meter 44 is the test end.

One end of the spring 43 is connected to the displacement meter 44, and the other end of the spring 43 is connected to the load sensor 42, applying force to the load sensor 42.
[0036] At this time, the test end of the displacement gauge 44 contacts the first flexible rubber membrane 30. The force applied by the test end of the displacement gauge 44 is transmitted to the load sensor 42 through the spring 43. The load sensor 42 collects data so that it can obtain displacement load data during the application process. Based on the displacement load data, the degree of consolidation data is converted, and the degree of consolidation is reflected in the displacement load data. Optionally, the data of the degree of consolidation measuring instrument 40 can be converted into existing technology. This is not defined here. This solution can be obtained in this technical field by using a similar degree of consolidation measuring instrument 40.

When the first switch 50 covers the first flexible rubber membrane 30, the first switch 50 overlaps with the first flexible rubber membrane 30 to prevent the first flexible rubber membrane 30 from falling off. When the first switch 50 opens the first flexible rubber membrane 30, the first switch 50 covers the edge of the first flexible rubber membrane 30.

[0057] First Embodiment
[0058] Pressure is continuously monitored by pressure gauge 82, and internal water pressure is continuously monitored by water pressure sensor 72.
[0059] Before measuring the degree of consolidation during the consolidation process of tailings using the consolidation degree tester 40, a point load consolidation degree calibration should be performed. A ring sample is cut using a ring cutter, with the sample diameter matching the inner diameter of the stainless steel sleeve 61. The sample is placed on the lower permeable plate 63, and the upper permeable plate 64 is placed on top of the sample. The pressure application component 92 applies pressure to the upper permeable plate 64.
[0060] The pressure application is set in 20 stages. The consolidation test is carried out by applying pressure and collecting data. After each stage of pressure application is completed, the second switch 65 is turned on, and the displacement gauge 44 of the consolidation degree measuring instrument 40 is used to apply pressure to the measuring point of the second flexible rubber membrane 62 to obtain the displacement load data of the application process.
[0061] After 20 stages of pressure application, the degree of consolidation Ut after each stage of pressure application was calculated according to the conventional consolidation test analysis method. The point load modulus Ep was determined based on the displacement-load curves of each stage obtained by the consolidation degree measuring instrument 40. The Ut and Ep obtained from the 20 pressure applications were statistically analyzed to obtain the Ut-Ep relationship model, thus completing the point load consolidation degree calibration.
[0062] For large-scale model tests, when each stage of pressure application is completed, the first switch 50 is turned on, and the point load modulus Ep at each point is measured using a consolidation degree measuring instrument 40. Based on the Ut-Ep relationship model, the degree of consolidation at each point under each stage of load is determined.
[0063] When each pressure level is completed, the electronic balance 91 is connected to the filter pipe body 81. The second valve 83 from the top is opened, and the flow rate is recorded by the electronic balance. After the flow rate stabilizes, the second valve 83 is closed. The water pressure and stable flow rate measured by the pressure gauge 82 are used to determine the tailings permeability between the first and second filter pipe bodies 81 according to Darcy's law. After the second pressure gauge 82 stabilizes, the third valve 83 is opened. After the flow rate stabilizes, the third valve 83 is closed. The water pressure and stable flow rate measured by the second pressure gauge 82 are used to determine the tailings permeability between the second and third filter pipe bodies 81 according to Darcy's law, and so on.
[0064] The leachate monitoring system opens eight valves (83) to monitor the flow rate at each measuring point in real time, thus completing the test.

The pressure application component is set at the upper part of the reservoir and is used to apply pressure to the tailings in the reservoir to simulate the stress state of tailings at different depths. Therefore, the tailings simulation test device 100 is used to carry out the simulation of tailings in karst areas. The proposed work, based on the tailings simulation test device 100, aims to understand the state of tailings and leachate within a karst tailings dam, and to ascertain their physical and mechanical properties and spatial distribution characteristics in order to understand the leakage mechanism of the tailings dam. The consolidation degree measuring instrument 40 includes a shell 41, a load sensor 42, a spring 43, and a displacement gauge 44. The displacement gauge 44 is movably extendable within the shell 41, with one end serving as the testing end. The load sensor 42 and spring 43 are housed within the shell 41. One end of the spring 43 is connected to the displacement gauge 44, and the other end is connected to the load sensor 42, applying force to the load sensor 42. The tailings simulation test device 100 also includes a pressure application component 92, located outside the dam basin 20. The pressure-applying assembly 92, used to pressurize the tailings 200 in the reservoir 20, includes a pressure plate 92a, a force transmission rod 92b, a fixed pulley 92c, a weight 92d, a connecting belt 92e, and a weight plate f. The fixed pulley 92c is located on one side of the reservoir 20, and the connecting belt 92e pulls the fixed pulley 92c. The weight plate f is connected to one end of the connecting belt 92e, and the force transmission rod 92b is connected to the other end of the connecting belt 92e. The pressure plate 92a is connected to the force transmission rod 92b, and the force transmission rod 92b has a lever fulcrum. The lever fulcrum is located on the side of the pressure plate 92a. When the weight plate f adds the weight 92d, the pressure plate 92a descends under the action of the lever fulcrum, so that the pressure plate 92a can apply pressure relative to the tailings 200.
