TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The three types of faults in nature give rise to complex fault systems, which vary greatly in scale, from the small-scale faulting of rock layers to the large-scale oceanic ridges that span across oceans. Oil is generated in basins, and faults can provide space for the formation of basins. Many famous oil fields in the world are located in basins controlled by normal faults. The activity of faults can cause the hanging wall to subside, which is conducive to the accumulation of sediments. Over time, the organic matter in the basin sediments is continuously compacted by the overlying new sediments, and under certain temperature and pressure conditions, it becomes oil or natural gas. In addition to energy resources, faults are also closely related to the distribution of metal mineral resources and water resources. Fault zones provide space for the flow of sedimentary metal hydrothermal fluids or groundwater. After recognizing the existence of faults, water or other resources can be sought along the distribution of faults.

[0035] 2. The geological fault simulation device provided by the present invention can finely adjust the position of the plate fault simulation block.

After the adjustment is completed, the second strong magnet can be used to effectively fix the lateral displacement plate to prevent the rebound force of the expanded sealing airbag from rebounding the adjusted lateral displacement plate position. The sealing airbags of different shapes and sizes in the present invention can effectively improve the sealing performance of the bottom of the simulated fault; the simulation concave disk is provided with a scale near the transparent cover plate, which is convenient for observing the moving position of the cylinder relative to the scale, making observation convenient and capable of more fine displacement control of the plate fault simulation block.
[0036] 3. During the geological fault simulation operation, the transparent cover plate and the plate fault simulation block fit tightly together, ensuring a good seal between the simulated fault and preventing liquid leakage or air infiltration. However, this also causes excessive friction on the plate fault simulation block, preventing smooth adjustment of the plate fault simulation block. In the present invention, an initial fixed knot secures one end of the wire rope. A driving member rotates from the bottom of the plate fault simulation block, driving the second movable block to vertically displace and slide within the second movable groove, achieving two states of tension and relaxation for the wire rope. In the tensioned state, the filler block fits tightly against the deformation expansion groove, increasing friction between the rubber sealing strip and the transparent cover plate and achieving a good sealing effect. In the relaxation state, the filler block, under load, easily displaces toward the first movable groove, minimizing friction between the rubber sealing strip and the transparent cover plate. This facilitates position adjustment of the plate fault simulation block and facilitates adjustments to the simulation state during the later stages of the geological fault simulation. This makes the geological fault simulation more flexible and capable of simulating further geological dynamic changes after the geological fault. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0082] S21, simulation fault filling: Rotate the simulation concave disc 102 to the vertical state, fill the particles with corresponding diameters from above the plate fault simulation block 202 to between the two plate fault simulation blocks 202, so as to realize the filling of the simulation fault.
[0083] S22, fault driving simulation: after the fault filling is completed, different size particles are laid on the plate fault simulation block 202 to simulate different geological strata; the driving cylinder 502 operates, the rolling column 503 is rolled on the arc surface of the driving arc surface 504 under the thrust, which can cause the horizontal and vertical thrust to the plate fault simulation block 202, so that the two plate fault simulation blocks 202 are mutually mismatched, and the formation of the geological fault is simulated.
[0084] S23, fine fault adjustment: the mechanical driving control accuracy of the position of the plate fault simulation block 202 is low, the driving arc surface 504 is a driving arc surface 504 with gradually increasing curvature from one end to the other end, when fine adjustment of the position of the plate fault simulation block 202 is needed, the precise adjustment ring 501 is manually rotated, and then the rolling column 503 is rolled on the arc surface of the driving arc surface 504, which causes a very small thrust to the driving arc surface 504 and the plate fault simulation block 202, realizes fine dynamic adjustment of the geological fault simulation, after the adjustment is completed, the second strong magnet 206 is adsorbed on the second strong magnet 206 area behind the simulation concave disc 102 close to the first strong magnet 205, the fixing effect of the horizontal displacement plate 201 is achieved, and the rebound force of the inflation of the sealed air bag 601 is avoided; the simulation concave disc 102 is provided with a scale close to the transparent cover plate 103, which is convenient for observing the movement position of the cylinder 502 relative to the scale, convenient for observation, and can more finely control the displacement of the plate fault simulation block 202.
[0085] S24, by embedding the pipeline above the sealed air bag 601, the distilled water is injected into the bottom of the simulation fault through the embedded pipeline, the gas between the simulation fault particles is discharged, when the distilled water completely infiltrates the particles in the simulation fault and the reservoir simulation hose 301, the dyed kerosene is stably and continuously input into the bottom of the simulation fault through the embedded pipeline, the oil column height in the simulation fault increases with the transportation time, the oil moves upward along the simulation fault, and is input into the reservoir simulation hose 301 through the fault connecting pipe 303, the oil layer height and width in the single reservoir simulation hose 301 no longer changes, reaches the balance of the maximum storage capacity, and can complete the simulation test of the corresponding angle fault and the corresponding angle shape reservoir sealing property.
[0086] In the geological fault simulation operation process, the transparent cover plate 103 is closely attached to the plate fault simulation block 202, which can make the simulation fault sealing good, and will not seep out liquid or seep into air, at the same time, it will also cause the plate fault simulation block 202 to bear too much friction, so that the smooth adjustment of the plate fault simulation block 202 cannot be effectively carried out. The starting fixed knot 802 fixes one end of the steel wire rope 707, rotates the screw 806 from the bottom of the plate fault simulation block 202, and then the screw 806 drives the second movable block 804 to slide vertically in the second movable groove 803 by using the thread, realizing the two states of tension and relaxation of the steel wire rope 707. In the tension state, the filler block 705 is closely attached to the deformation expansion groove 703, so that the friction between the rubber sealing strip 701 and the transparent cover plate 103 is large, and the sealing effect is good. In the relaxation state, the filler block 705 is easy to displace in the direction of the first movable groove 704 after being stressed, and the friction between the rubber sealing strip 701 and the transparent cover plate 103 is small, which is convenient for adjusting the position of the plate fault simulation block 202. The simulation state adjustment change in the later operation of the geological fault simulation makes the geological fault simulation more flexible, and can simulate the further geological dynamic change state after the geological fault.
