Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of true triaxial testing, and in particular relates to a push-pull hard rock true triaxial specimen box with high temperature and hydraulic fracturing functions. Background Art

[0002] Rockbursts, as sudden geological hazards, can be categorized as spontaneous and dynamic disturbance-triggered. Field investigations have revealed that the vast majority of strong and extremely strong rockbursts are triggered by dynamic disturbances, particularly under high-temperature conditions. Currently, understanding rockburst mechanisms and stress release technologies is still relatively limited. Therefore, conducting true triaxial dynamic disturbance tests on hard rock under high-temperature and hydraulic fracturing conditions is crucial to understanding crack propagation patterns and fracture characteristics.

[0003] Conducting true triaxial dynamic perturbation tests on hard rock indoors under high-temperature and hydraulic fracturing conditions requires true triaxial testing equipment. Traditional true triaxial testing equipment often utilizes an integrated loading and unloading structure consisting of a reaction frame and pressure chamber. The specimen box requires a hoist for assembly and disassembly, which presents drawbacks such as operational difficulty, high precision control, and the potential for safety incidents. Furthermore, the complex structural design of traditional specimen boxes for high temperatures and hydraulic fracturing can affect the assembly and disassembly of rock specimens, thereby impacting overall testing efficiency.

[0024] The rock sample holder 2 includes a rock sample clamping assembly 15 and a rock sample insulation frame 16; the rock sample clamping assembly 15 is in six sets, with one set each at the upper end, lower end, left end, right end, front end, and rear end of the rock sample 17; the rock sample insulation frame 16 is sleeved on the outside of the rock sample 17 and located between the six sets of rock sample clamping assemblies 15.

[0025] Rock sample deformation measuring sensors 18 are provided between the rock sample clamping assembly 15 at the upper end of the rock sample 17 and the rock sample clamping assembly 15 at the lower end of the rock sample 17, between the rock sample clamping assembly 15 at the left end of the rock sample 17 and the rock sample clamping assembly 15 at the right end of the rock sample 17, and between the rock sample clamping assembly 15 at the front end of the rock sample 17 and the rock sample clamping assembly 15 at the rear end of the rock sample 17.

The hydraulic fracturing pipe 26 is connected to the hydraulic fracturing pump outside the true triaxial testing machine 8, and the hydraulic fracturing pump is connected to a water source.

[0030] The following describes a one-time use process of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0031] In this embodiment, the box body 1 is in a disassembled state when stored, which can save space and can be assembled when used; the clamper external transfer slide 3, the clamper external transfer slide rail 4, the clamper internal transfer external guide rail 10, the clamper internal transfer built-in guide rail 11, and the clamper internal transfer slide 12 are all in the state of parts when stored, and are only installed on the true triaxial testing machine 8 when in use, which can ensure that the true triaxial testing machine 8 can carry out true triaxial testing under normal conditions.

[0032] Before the test, the prepared rock sample 17 is first clamped into the rock sample holder 2, and then the rock sample holder 2 with the rock sample 17 is placed on the center of the upper surface of the transfer slide 12 in the holder, and then the transfer slide 3 outside the holder is pushed along the transfer slide rail 4 outside the holder until the external guide rail 10 of the transfer inside the holder is docked with the internal guide rail 11 of the transfer inside the holder, and then the transfer slide 12 inside the holder is pushed until the transfer slide 12 inside the holder moves from the external guide rail 10 of the transfer inside the holder to the internal guide rail 11 of the transfer inside the holder, and finally the rock sample holder 2 is transferred into the box body 1. At this time, the movable closing plate 7 is buckled with the rectangular frame 5 to realize the closure of the box body 1.

[0033] When the box body 1 is closed, the wires of the heating resistance wire 22 and the temperature sensor 23 are connected to the main control system through the control interface inside the lifting pressure chamber 9 of the true triaxial testing machine 8, the circulating water pipe is connected to the cooling water tank and the circulating water pump through the water channel interface inside the lifting pressure chamber 9 of the true triaxial testing machine 8, and the hydraulic fracturing pipe 26 is connected to the hydraulic fracturing pump through the hydraulic fracturing interface inside the lifting pressure chamber 9 of the true triaxial testing machine 8.

[0034] When all the above preparations are completed, the lifting pressure chamber 9 is controlled to drop into the main reaction force frame of the true triaxial testing machine 8, and then the six actuators of the true triaxial testing machine 8 are controlled to center and pre-clamp the rock sample holder 2.

[0035] When conducting an indoor test to measure rock properties in a high-temperature environment coupled with dynamic perturbations, the heating resistor 22 is first activated, heating the rock sample 17 via the heating pad 21. During this heating process, the temperature is measured in real time via the temperature sensor 23 until the rock sample 17 reaches the set value. Simultaneously, the circulating water pump is activated to circulate cooling water between the cooling water tank, the circulating water pipe, and the cooling water path 24, ensuring that the high temperature of the heating pad 21 is not transmitted outward. Furthermore, the rock sample 17 is insulated and heat-insulated by the rock sample insulation frame 16 to simulate a high-temperature environment. Once the high-temperature environment simulation is complete, true triaxial stress is applied to the rock sample 17 in the rock sample holder 2 via the six actuators of the true triaxial testing machine 8. The true triaxial stress is gradually increased to a preset value. Dynamic perturbations are then applied at the preset true triaxial stress value, while the stress-strain curve of the rock sample 17 is simultaneously acquired until the rock sample 17 fails.

[0036] When conducting an indoor test to measure rock crack growth characteristics under the coupling of hydraulic fracturing and dynamic perturbation, the hydraulic fracturing pump is first activated, injecting high-pressure water into the hydraulic fracturing holes 25 of the rock sample 17 through the hydraulic fracturing pipe 26. The pressure of the high-pressure water causes micro-cracks to form within the rock sample 17, simulating a hydraulic fracturing state. After the hydraulic fracturing state simulation is completed, the six actuators of the true triaxial testing machine 8 apply true triaxial stress to the rock sample 17 in the rock sample holder 2. The true triaxial stress is gradually increased to a preset value. Then, dynamic perturbation is applied at the preset true triaxial stress value, and the stress-strain curve of the rock sample 17 is simultaneously obtained until the rock sample 17 fails.

All equivalent implementations or modifications that do not depart from the scope of protection of the present invention are included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
