[0035] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods described in the following embodiments are conventional methods, and the reagents and materials mentioned are commercially available unless otherwise specified. In the description of this invention, the terms "lateral," "longitudinal," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the invention. Where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this invention can be combined with each other.

[0037] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments, but these are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0038] like Figures 1-7 As shown in the figure, this invention discloses a hydraulic fracturing stress testing device, including a pressurized water injection device, a drill rod 9, a channel switching valve 10, an upper packer 12, a rotatable guide plate 14, an electronic compass 15, and a lower packer 16. The pressurized water injection device includes a high-pressure water pump 1, a high-pressure water pipe 3 connected to the high-pressure water pump, a pressure gauge 4 and a pressure relief ball valve 5 installed on the high-pressure water pipe 3. To facilitate data acquisition during the test, a data acquisition device 2 for real-time data acquisition is also installed on the high-pressure water pipe 3. One end of the drill rod 9 is connected to the high-pressure water pipe 3 via a pipe joint 6. To facilitate lifting or lowering the drill rod 9 during the test, the pipe joint 6 is also connected to a winch device. The winch device includes a motor 8, a lifting rope wound on the motor shaft, a fixed pulley for the lifting rope to pass through, and a lifting basket 7. The lifting basket 7 is connected to the pipe joint 6. During the test, the winch device operates, lifting the pipe joint 6 through the lifting basket 7 to lift the drill rod 9. The drill rod 9 is a hollow rod. The other end of the drill rod 9 is connected to the inlet of the channel switching valve 10. The channel switching valve 10 also includes a first outlet passage and a second outlet passage selectively connected to the inlet. When the drill rod 9 is pulled up relative to the upper packer 12, the inlet is connected to the first outlet passage; when the drill rod 9 is pressed down relative to the upper packer 12, the inlet is connected to the second outlet passage.

[0039] like Figure 2As shown, the upper packer 12 is provided with a central pipe 12-1 communicating with the second water outlet passage and an inner cavity 12-2 communicating with the first water outlet passage, wherein the central pipe 12-1 and the inner cavity 12-2 are not communicated with each other, and the central pipe 12-1 is communicated with the second water outlet passage through the oil pipe 11. In addition, the upper packer 12 is further provided with a communication hole 12-3 communicating with the inner cavity 12-2. The lower packer 16 has the same structure as the upper packer 12. In the embodiment, the upper packer 12 and the lower packer 16 are communicated through three rigid pipes 13 arranged at equal intervals. In the embodiment, three rigid pipes 13 are arranged to prevent the extreme rigid pipe arrangement direction from being the same as the crack direction, thereby affecting the rotation of the electronic compass housing 15-1. Specifically, one end of the rigid pipe 13 is connected with the communication hole 12-3 of the upper packer 12, and the other end of the rigid pipe 13 is connected with the communication hole 16-3 of the lower packer 16. When the water flow enters the inner cavity 12-2 of the upper packer 12 from the first water outlet passage, it flows to the inner cavity 16-2 of the lower packer 16 through the communication hole 12-3 and the rigid pipe 13 in turn. The area between the upper and lower packers forms a test section during the test.

[0040] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The rotatable flow guide plate 14 includes a central flow guide pipe 14-1 and flow guide vanes arranged on the central flow guide pipe 14-1. The central flow guide pipe 14-1 is a hollow pipe having an axial hole 14-7 communicated with the central pipe 12-1 of the upper packer 12. The upper end of the central flow guide pipe 14-1 is arranged in the lower end of the central pipe 12-1 of the upper packer 12, and the central flow guide pipe 14-1 is connected with the lower end of the upper packer through a bearing, while the lower end of the central flow guide pipe 14-1 is connected with the center of the electronic compass housing 15-1, so that the central flow guide pipe 14-1 can rotate freely, and the rotation of the central flow guide pipe 14-1 will drive the electronic compass housing 15-1 to rotate relative to the electronic compass pointer. In order to reduce the influence of water flow disturbance, a limiting flow stabilizing pipe 14-2 is arranged at the upper end of the central flow guide pipe 14-1, and a limiting ring 14-3 is arranged on the outer wall of the upper end of the limiting flow stabilizing pipe 14-2. The outer diameter of the limiting ring 14-3 is equivalent to the inner diameter of the central pipe 12-2, so that the upper end of the central flow guide pipe 14-1 is limited between the limiting flow stabilizing pipe 14-2 and the central pipe 12-2. In this way, when the water flow enters the central pipe 12-2, it is completely guided to the central flow guide pipe 14-1 through the limiting flow stabilizing pipe 14-2, thereby avoiding the influence of water flow disturbance on the central flow guide pipe 14-1.

[0041] The guide vane comprises inner guide vanes 14-4 arranged on the central guide pipe 14-1, outer guide vanes 14-5 arranged on the central guide pipe 14-1 and located on both sides of each inner guide vane 14-4, in the embodiment, two inner guide vanes 14-4 are symmetrically arranged on the central guide pipe 14-1, a guide slit 14-6 is formed between each outer guide vane 14-5 and the corresponding inner guide vane 14-4, and a through hole is arranged on the pipe wall of the central guide pipe 14-1 to communicate the shaft hole 14-7 with the guide slit 14-6. When the water flow enters the shaft hole 14-7 of the central guide pipe 14-1, the water flow is sprayed from the guide slit 14-6, according to Bernoulli's principle, the fluid always flows from a high potential area to a low potential area, and in order to achieve an optimal (shortest) flow path, the guide vane is gradually rotated to point to the direction of the fracturing crack at the minimum angle under the continuous action of the fluid and remains stable, and the guide vane drives the electronic compass shell 15-1 to rotate through the central guide pipe 14-1 in the process of rotation. In order to better obtain the stress direction, a pointing line is marked on the electronic compass shell in advance, the pointing line is the same as the extension direction of the inner guide vane 14-4 in the radial direction of the drill hole in the initial state, so that the pointing line also rotates in the process of rotation of the electronic compass shell 15-1 relative to the electronic compass pointer, and finally the angle change between the pointing line and the north direction can obtain the direction of the fracturing crack. In order to make the rotation of the guide vane more sensitive, the width of the inner guide vane 14-4 in the radial direction of the drill hole is greater than the width of the outer guide vane 14-5 in the radial direction of the drill hole, and the width of the inner guide vane 14-4 is greater than half of the radius of the drill hole 17. In this way, under the action of the water flow, the rotation sensitivity of the inner guide vane 14-4 is higher, so that the rotation sensitivity of the compass pointer 15-5 is also higher.

[0042] As shown in Figure 5 The electronic compass 15 is arranged on the lower packer 16 through the base, and specifically, the base comprises a support seat 15-4 arranged on the lower packer, a support column 15-3 arranged on the support seat 15-4, a connecting bearing sleeved on the support column 15-3, and a connecting column 15-2 connected with the connecting bearing and used for supporting the electronic compass 15, and the arrangement structure guarantees the rotation sensitivity of the central guide pipe 14-1 and the electronic compass 15.

[0046] Step 3, keep the high-pressure water pump 1 working continuously, the high-pressure water pump 1 injects high-pressure water flow into the drill pipe 9 through the high-pressure water pipe 3, and then flows into the shaft hole 14-7 of the central flow guide pipe 14-1 through the second water outlet path of the channel conversion valve 10, and then is sprayed out through the flow guide slot 14-6, while in the test section clamped by the upper and lower packers, the continuous water flow can only be injected into the rock gap through the fracturing fracture formed by the borehole 17 wall, given that the initial direction of the flow guide vane is not clear, it is assumed as shown in Figure 8 At this time, analyzing the flow field of the water flow in the test section and the mechanical relationship of the inner flow guide vane 14-4, it can be known that the flow guide vane is obviously in an unbalanced force state, according to Bernoulli's principle, fluid always flows from high potential area to low potential area, in order to achieve an optimal (shortest) flow path, the flow guide vane gradually rotates to the direction of the fracturing fracture along the smallest angle under the continuous action of the fluid and remains stable, as shown in Figure 9As shown, the guide vane drives the electronic compass shell 15-1 and the pointing line thereon to rotate and point to the fracturing fracture in the process of rotation, the time period corresponding to the last cycle curve is recorded, and the stable indicating direction of the pointing line on the electronic compass shell 15-1 is the water pressure fracturing fracture direction of the rock mass of the test section, and the specific direction of the water pressure fracturing fracture of the rock mass of the test section can be determined according to the change of the included angle between the stable indicating direction of the pointing line and the electronic compass pointer (i.e. the north direction);

[0047] Step 4, after the data acquisition is completed, the high-pressure water pump 1 is closed and separated from the high-pressure water pipe 3, the hoisting device is operated, the drill pipe 9 is lifted by the lifting basket 7, the water inlet of the channel conversion valve 10 is connected with the first water outlet passage, at this time, the pressure water in the inner cavity of the upper and lower packers will flow out along the channel conversion valve 10, the drill pipe 9, the pipe joint 6, the high-pressure water pipe 3 and the pressure relief ball valve 5, so as to achieve the purpose of pressure relief, the upper and lower packers are contracted and separated from the hole wall, that is, the test of the water pressure fracturing in-situ stress value and direction of the section is completed;

[0048] Step 5, the hoisting device is operated to increase or decrease the drill pipe to reach the next measurement position, and the above process is repeated to realize the rapid and continuous test of the next measurement section.

[0049] Step 6, after the test of all selected sections is completed, the in-hole test device is taken out, the orientation storage information of the compass pointer of the electronic compass in each measurement section is read, and finally the stable indicating direction of the electronic compass pointer in the continuous water injection time of each measurement section is determined as the maximum horizontal principal stress direction (i.e. the water pressure fracturing fracture direction) of the rock mass of the measurement section.
