The use of "first" and "second" in the description is merely for distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features, or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0038] In the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly defined, terms such as "setup," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this application in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0039] Currently, traditional triaxial testing equipment struggles to accurately reproduce the stress, seepage, and temperature changes in rock masses under these extreme conditions, resulting in significant limitations in simulating the actual stress state of deep rock strata using existing experimental methods and equipment. Therefore, researching how to accurately simulate the mechanical behavior of deep rock masses, particularly the shear seepage process, under conditions of "high temperature, high humidity, high temperature, and high temperature disturbance," has become one of the key scientific issues in the field of deep underground engineering.

[0040] In response, this application proposes a deep-earth complex disturbance seepage shear test device and test method. By opening water inlet channel 111 and water outlet channel 121 in the upper sample 110 and the lower sample 120, high-pressure water from the outside can enter into the sample to simulate the high permeability pressure under deep-earth conditions. At the same time, each pressure head in the pressure chamber 300 can apply pressure and shear force to the sample, thereby simulating the stress situation of the rock and soil under the coupling of various factors in deep-earth conditions.

[0041] The deep-earth complex disturbance seepage shear test apparatus in the first aspect of this application includes a sample assembly 100, a shear box assembly 200, and a pressure chamber 300. The sample assembly 100 contains a sample and is used to detect the effects of multiple disturbances on the sample in a deep-earth environment. The shear box assembly 200 is used to load the sample assembly 100 and transmit pressure and shear force. The pressure chamber 300 is used to provide pressure and shear force and simulate high-pressure conditions in a deep-earth environment.

[0042] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The sample assembly 100 includes an upper sample 110, a lower sample 120, and a polyurethane layer 130. The bottom surface of the upper sample 110 is a first joint surface, and the upper sample 110 has a water inlet channel 111 extending to the first joint surface. The top surface of the lower sample 120 is a second joint surface, and the lower sample 120 has a water outlet channel 121 extending to the second joint surface. The top surface of the polyurethane layer 130 is bonded to the first joint surface, and the bottom surface of the polyurethane layer 130 is bonded to the second joint surface, thereby bonding the upper sample 110, the lower sample 120, and the polyurethane layer 130 into a single unit.

[0043] Reference Figure 3 The shear box assembly 200 includes an upper shear box 210 and a lower shear box 220. Both the upper shear box 210 and the lower shear box 220 are L-shaped and are interlocked to form a compression space between them, in which the sample assembly 100 is placed. Therefore, when pressure is applied to the upper shear box 210 and the lower shear box 220 respectively, both pressure and shear force can be applied to the sample assembly 100, thereby simulating the complex mechanical environment of deep-earth environments.

[0044] The pressure chamber 300 is equipped with a first pressure head 310, a second pressure head 320, a third pressure head 330, and chamber pressure. The first pressure head 310 abuts against the side of the upper shear box 210, the second pressure head 320 abuts against the side of the lower shear box 220, and the third pressure head 330 abuts against the top surface of the upper shear box 210. The chamber pressure surrounds the shear box assembly 200. Each pressure head can apply pressure to different sides of the sample assembly 100, and the chamber pressure can provide circumferential pressure to the shear box assembly. The pressure chamber 300 also has a seepage inlet 340 and a seepage outlet 350. The seepage inlet 340 is connected to the water inlet channel 111 through a pipe, and the seepage outlet 350 is connected to the water outlet channel 121 through a pipe.

[0045] The first pressure head 310 and the second pressure head 320 apply pressure to the shear box assembly 200 to generate shear force on the sample assembly 100, and the third pressure head 330 applies pressure to the upper shear box 210 to generate normal pressure on the sample assembly 100. The seepage inlet 340 can introduce high-pressure water to increase the pressure on the sample assembly 100, thereby simulating the coupled scenario of multiple conditions such as pressure, shear force and high osmotic pressure, and improving the simulation degree of deep earth environment.

[0046] Furthermore, the shear box assembly 200 also includes a rubber ring 230, which connects the upper shear box 210 and the lower shear box 220 together. The rubber ring 230 drives the upper shear box 210 and the lower shear box 220 to move closer to each other through elastic force, thereby preventing the upper shear box 210 and the lower shear box 220 from separating and loosening. The sample assembly 100 can be placed more stably between the upper shear box 210 and the lower shear box 220.

[0047] Furthermore, an upper roller 240 is mounted on the top of the upper shear box 210. The upper roller 240 makes rolling contact with the third pressure head 330. The upper roller 240 is used to reduce the friction between the upper roller 240 and the third pressure head 330, thereby reducing the scraping between the third pressure head 330 and the upper shear box 210 when the shear box assembly 200 is driven by the first pressure head 310 or the second pressure head 320 and undergoes lateral displacement.

[0048] Furthermore, the upper roller 240 is connected to the upper shear box 210 via a return spring 260 to prevent the upper roller 240 and the upper shear box 210 from separating from each other.

[0049] Furthermore, a lower roller 250 is installed at the bottom of the lower shear box 220. The lower roller 250 makes rolling contact with the inner wall of the pressure chamber 300. The lower roller 250 is used to reduce the friction between the lower shear box 220 and the inner wall of the pressure chamber 300, thereby reducing the scraping between the lower shear box 220 and the inner wall of the pressure chamber 300 when the shear box assembly 200 is driven by the first pressure head 310 or the second pressure head 320 and undergoes lateral displacement.

[0050] Furthermore, the lower roller 250 is connected to the lower shear box 220 via a return spring 260 to prevent the lower roller 250 and the lower shear box 220 from separating from each other.

[0051] Furthermore, the shear box assembly 200 also includes a connecting rod 270, the two ends of which are connected to the upper roller 240 and the lower roller 250 respectively, to maintain the relative position of the upper roller 240 and the lower roller 250, thereby preventing the direction of the force from shifting due to the misalignment of the upper roller 240 and the lower roller 250 when the third pressure head 330 applies pressure.

[0052] Reference Figure 4 The deep-ground complex disturbance seepage shear test apparatus also includes a water pump, a water storage tank, a flow meter, and a wastewater tank. The water pump fills the seepage inlet 340 with water from the water storage tank, and the seepage outlet 350 is connected to the wastewater tank via a flow meter, which is used to detect the seepage flow rate.

[0053] Furthermore, the deep-ground complex disturbance seepage shear test device also includes a control system and a servo system that are electrically connected to each other. The first pressure head 310, the second pressure head 320, the third pressure head 330 and the chamber pressure are all electrically connected to the servo system, which is used to control the pressure of each pressure head.

[0055] S100. Use an electric drill to drill holes in the upper sample 110 to obtain a water inlet channel 111, use an electric drill to drill holes in the lower sample 120 to obtain a water outlet channel 121, and install connectors in the water inlet channel 111 and the water outlet channel 121.

[0056] S200. Polyurethane material is sprayed onto the side of the rock mass between the first joint surface of the upper sample 110 and the second joint surface of the lower sample 120 to obtain a polyurethane layer 130 that completely seals the first and second joint surfaces.
