Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of rock mass fissure medium seepage experiment, in particular to a layered filling fissure seepage-erosion visualization experiment device and method. Background Art

[0002] Filled fissures refer to the filling of natural rock fissures with unconsolidated, loose material due to water erosion, chemical erosion, and gravitational settling. Furthermore, due to geological processes such as sedimentation, erosion, and volcanic activity, the filling soil in these fissures can exhibit alternating layers of soil, with distinct stratification. The physical and chemical properties of adjacent layers often differ significantly.

[0003] The migration patterns of fluids and solutes within these layered filled fractures are very complex, and under the action of seepage, particles will migrate and lose in the filled fractures, further changing the seepage channels and permeability of the filled fractures. Conducting seepage research on filled fracture media with soil stratification characteristics is of great significance in many geological engineering projects. In geological engineering, the development of filled fractures forms weak zones and interlayers, constituting potential failure surfaces. Studying the seepage characteristics of filled fractures is of great significance for preventing geological disasters such as piping and landslides. In environmental science, filled fractures hinder the migration of pollutants compared to fracture media, which has a key impact on the study of the migration and diffusion process of pollutants.

[0004] The filling soil for cracks is composed of coarse and fine particles. The coarse particles form the basic skeleton of the filling medium, while the fine particles are loose particles dispersed within the skeleton space. When the fine particle size is smaller than the pore space formed by the coarse particle skeleton and the seepage pressure is greater than the frictional resistance between the particles, the fine particles can be lost through the pores of the coarse particle skeleton, causing erosion damage. For cracks filled with stratified soil, the different soil layers have different soil properties and significant differences in seepage characteristics. The permeability of soil layers with finer particles (such as clay layers) is relatively low, while the permeability of soil layers with coarser particles (such as sand layers) is relatively high. This seepage characteristic leads to uneven seepage paths, making the seepage characteristics of the filled cracks more complex.

[0005] Traditional seepage experiments involving filled fractures use filters at the sample end to prevent the loss of filling material. This neglects the effects of seepage erosion on soil particles during the seepage process and the impact of particle loss on the seepage pathways and permeability of the filled fractures. In particular, research on seepage in filled fractures in layered soils is limited. Furthermore, due to the opaque nature of the rock mass, traditional experiments are limited to obtaining basic fracture properties such as roughness, permeability, and relative permeability. This makes it difficult to visualize the seepage characteristics of the seepage-erosion process in layered filled fractures, and related research is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

[0025] A layered filling fracture model is prepared and immersed in water for several hours, and then placed in a vacuum pump and allowed to stand for several hours under negative pressure to allow the soil to reach a saturated state;

[0026] After installing and adjusting each instrument, a visualization experiment of filled fracture seepage and erosion was conducted at a fixed flow rate.

[0050] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, the technical features in the various embodiments or single embodiments provided by the present invention are arbitrarily combined with each other to form a new technical solution. This combination is not restricted by the sequence of steps and / or structural composition mode, but must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement it. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that this combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0051] Existing methods for filling fracture seepage experiments include core experiment technology, which involves filling the split fractured rock mass with filling materials and placing it in a seepage device. After sealing, water is injected into the rock mass to simulate the seepage process of the filled fractures. The pore space distribution of the filled fractures after the seepage experiment is observed by scanning with technologies such as CT and X-ray.

[0052] Existing seepage experiments on filled fractures mostly use the method shown above, which is limited to obtaining basic fracture parameters such as roughness, permeability, relative permeability, etc., and ignores the seepage erosion caused to soil particles during the seepage process and the impact of particle loss on the seepage channels and permeability of the filled fractures. Moreover, due to the opaque characteristics of natural rock masses, most experiments are unable to observe the seepage process of the filling medium and the evolution of the seepage channels in real time. Therefore, the present invention proposes a visualization experimental device and method for seepage-erosion of filled fractures, and produces a transparent layered filled fracture model with a real geometric morphology. A spiral pull rod pressure sensor is used to monitor the quality of the filled fracture seepage process in real time, and a pressure sensor is used to monitor the pressure of the filling fracture inlet cavity to achieve the purpose of real-time monitoring of the permeability evolution during the seepage process. An injection pump is used to provide different constant flow rates for the seepage, and a high-resolution camera is combined to achieve the purpose of finely capturing the seepage-erosion behavior of the filled fractures.

[0053] See also Figure 1-6 The present invention provides a layered filling crack seepage-erosion visualization experimental device, which includes a stand 20 horizontally fixed on a laboratory table, a plane light source 21 horizontally arranged on the stand 20, adjustable brackets 22 arranged on both sides of the stand 20, and a layered filling crack model 19 set on a pair of adjustable brackets 22. The laboratory table is also provided with a syringe 28, a quality monitoring module, a pressure monitoring module and an image acquisition module.

[0054] During the experiment, the syringe 28 is connected to the fracture inlet of the layered filling fracture model 19 through a pipeline, and fluid is injected into the fracture of the layered filling fracture model 19 through the syringe 28. A liquid collecting bottle 31 is also provided on the stand 20 below the fracture outlet of the layered filling fracture model 19. The liquid flowing out of the layered filling fracture model 19 is collected through the liquid collecting bottle 31, and the quality monitoring module, the pressure monitoring module and the image acquisition module respectively monitor the mass change of the layered filling fracture model 19, the pressure of the injected fluid and the seepage process of the layered filling fracture model 19 during the seepage process.

[0055] In this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the layered filling fracture model 19 is composed of multiple filling fracture segments, the end of the filling fracture segment at one end is provided with a buffer box 8 connected thereto, the end of the buffer box 8 is provided with an inlet cavity 15 connected thereto, and the end of the filling fracture segment at the other end is provided with an outlet cavity 16 connected thereto.

[0056] Among them, the filled fracture section is formed by filling soil in multiple fracture sections, and the multiple fracture sections are formed by uniformly cutting the initial fracture model. According to experimental needs, the above-mentioned initial fracture model can be uniformly cut into multiple ends. Moreover, since the fracture opening is small, directly uniformly cutting the initial fracture model to form multiple fracture sections can ensure that each fracture section has good fit and avoid blocking the fracture opening during the fracture section assembly process.

[0057] The number of fracture sections can also be reasonably selected according to experimental needs, and soil parameters such as the gradation of the filling soil need to be prepared according to experimental needs.

[0058] Further, such as Figure 3 As shown, the initial fracture model is formed by the upper rough fracture surface 1 and the lower rough fracture surface 2. The opposite surfaces of the upper rough fracture surface 1 and the lower rough fracture surface 2 are respectively provided with an upper rough fracture surface connecting edge 3 and a lower rough fracture surface connecting edge 4. The upper rough fracture surface connecting edge 3 and the lower rough fracture surface connecting edge 4 are fitted together by a rubber strip 5. A fracture space 6 with a fixed opening is formed between the upper rough fracture surface 1 and the lower rough fracture surface 2 for filling soil.

[0059] Further, such as Figure 5-6 As shown, in order to facilitate the installation of the layered filling crack model 19 during the experiment and ensure that each crack segment is tightly connected to make it fit better, this embodiment introduces a detachable segmented installation box, which assists in the splicing and reinforcement of multiple filling crack segments. The detachable segmented installation box is spliced ​​by multiple installation boxes, and its length is equal to the length of the filling crack segment.

[0060] The detachable sectional installation box is used for assisting assembly of each fracture section; the detachable sectional installation box is spliced by multiple installation boxes, and the length of the detachable sectional installation box is equal to the length of the filled fracture section; each installation box is fixedly connected through a mortise and tenon structure; the mortise and tenon structure comprises a tenon 13 and a mortise 12 matched with the tenon 13; the first installation box is not provided with the tenon 13, and the bottom is sealed; the last installation box is not provided with the mortise 12; the middle installation boxes are all provided with the mortise 12 and the tenon 13; and the installation box further comprises a main box body and a side plate, and the main box body and the side plate are fixedly connected through a threaded hole two 142.

[0061] The internal cavity size of the detachable sectional installation box is completely consistent with the external size of the filled fracture section, so that the fitting of each fracture section is good, and the opening of the fracture section is further prevented from being blocked during assembly of the fracture section.

[0062] Further, as shown in Figure 2 , the other end of the inlet cavity 15 is provided with a fluid inlet 17, and the other end of the outlet cavity 16 is provided with a fluid outlet 18 with an arc-shaped outlet corner. The outlet corner of the fluid outlet 18 is arranged in an arc shape, which can effectively prevent the loss of particles from being retained in the outlet cavity 16 during the filling fracture seepage-erosion experiment.

[0063] The injector 28 is communicated with the fluid inlet 17 through a pipeline, and injects fluid into the fracture space 6 through the inlet cavity 15. The injector 28 can also be installed on the injection pump 29, and the injection flow rate is adjusted through the injection pump 29 to provide a stable injection flow rate for the experiment.

[0064] During the experiment, the injection flow rate is controlled by the injection pump 29, the injector 28 injects fluid into the fracture space 6 through the inlet cavity 15, and finally the fluid is discharged through the fluid outlet 18.

[0065] Further, as shown in Figure 2 , 4 , the buffer tank 8 is a hollow structure with openings at both ends, and the cavity is filled with large-diameter coarse gravel 9, and the particle size is greater than the fracture opening. The connection between the buffer tank 8 and the inlet cavity 15 is provided with gauze.

[0066] Specifically, the buffer tank 8 is a groove-shaped structure with an internal cavity, and the two ends are respectively communicated with the fracture section and the inlet cavity 15. The cavity cross-sectional area of the buffer tank 8 can completely cover the interface of the inlet cavity 15 and the interface of the fracture space 6. The main function of the buffer tank 8 is to buffer the water flow in the inlet cavity, so that the water flow enters the fracture space 6 smoothly. The internal filling of the buffer cavity is large-diameter coarse gravel 9, and the particle size needs to be greater than the fracture opening to prevent the internal filling of the buffer cavity from entering the fracture space 6 and interfering with the experimental results. The connection between the buffer tank 8 and the inlet cavity 15 is provided with gauze to prevent the internal filling of the buffer tank 8 from entering the inlet cavity 15.

[0067] In this embodiment, the quality monitoring module is used to monitor the quality changes of the layered filling fracture model 19 during the seepage process. Specifically, the quality monitoring module includes two spiral tie rod pressure sensors 23 and a display control instrument 24. The two spiral tie rod pressure sensors 23 are respectively arranged on two adjustable brackets 22. One end of the two spiral tie rod pressure sensors 23 is connected to the layered filling fracture model 19, and the two spiral tie rod pressure sensors 23 are connected to the display control instrument 24.

[0068] In this embodiment, the pressure monitoring module is used to monitor the pressure of the injected fluid. Specifically, the pressure monitoring module includes a pressure sensor 25 and a reader 26. The pressure sensor 25 is a flow-through pressure sensor. One end of the pressure sensor 25 is connected to the syringe 28 through a pipeline, and the other end is connected to the inlet cavity 15 of the layered filling fracture model 19 through a pipeline. The reader 26 is connected to the pressure sensor 25 and to the computer 30.

[0069] In this embodiment, the image acquisition module is used to monitor the seepage process. Specifically, the image acquisition module includes a camera 27. The image acquisition module is set above the layered filling fracture model 19, and the axis of the camera 27 is always perpendicular to the surface of the filling fracture model.

[0070] The camera 27 is a high-resolution camera, which is arranged directly above the layered filling fracture model 19 , and the axis of the camera 27 is always perpendicular to the surface of the layered filling fracture model 19 .

[0071] It should be noted that the quality monitoring module, the pressure monitoring module and the image acquisition module are all connected to the computer 30 via lines to achieve real-time data acquisition.

[0072] In this embodiment, the adjustable bracket 22 includes a base 221, a vertical pole 222, and a support plate 223. The vertical pole 222 is designed with a scale, and the support plate 223 can move up and down on the vertical pole 222. The support plate 223 is locked to the vertical pole 222 by bolts to maintain the same height. Screw holes are provided at the edge of the support plate 223 to facilitate the installation of the spiral pull rod pressure sensor 23 in the quality monitoring module.

[0073] During installation, since a threaded hole 141 is provided at the upper end of the inlet cavity 15 at the end of the layered filling fracture model 19 and the upper end of the outlet cavity 16 at the other end of the layered filling fracture model 19, one end of the two spiral pull rod pressure sensors 23 can be respectively installed on the two ends of the layered filling fracture model 19. Before installing the quality monitoring module, the support plates 223 on both sides should be adjusted to the same scale height in advance, and then one end of the spiral pull rod pressure sensor 23 should be fixed to the support plate 223, and the other end should be fixed to the layered filling fracture model 19.

[0074] The present invention also provides a layered filling crack seepage-erosion experimental method, comprising the following steps:

[0075] S1, making a layered filling fracture model 19, and immersing the layered filling fracture model 19 in water and letting it stand for 24 hours, then placing it in a vacuum pump and letting it stand for 12 hours under negative pressure to allow the soil to reach a saturated state;

[0077] S4, install and adjust the pressure monitoring module, connect the syringe 28, the pressure sensor 25 and the fluid inlet 17 through a pipeline, so that the fluid flows from the syringe 28 through the pressure sensor 25 and is injected into the layered filling fracture model 19, and the reader 26 is connected to the pressure sensor 25 through a line connection and communicated with the computer 30;

[0078] S5, install and adjust the image acquisition module, connect the camera 27 and the computer 30, turn on the plane light source 21, adjust the working distance between the camera 27 and the layered filling fracture model 19, and complete the imaging quality adjustment process after the image is clear;

After the experiment is completed, turn off the injection pump 29, turn off the camera 27 and the computer 30, and the experiment is completed.

[0080] This embodiment also provides a method for preparing a layered filling fracture model, comprising the following steps:

[0081] S1: Prepare an initial crack model, cast and demould with a transparent epoxy resin material to prepare an upper rough crack surface 1 and a lower rough crack surface 2, apply glue on the upper rough crack surface connecting edge 3 and the lower rough crack surface connecting edge 4, then place a rubber strip 5 in the middle of the connecting edge, fit the upper and lower parts together, so that the two crack surfaces are fixed and sealed, and a crack space 6 with a fixed opening is formed between the two crack surfaces, and then stand for 24 hours to cure;

[0089] Further, the manufacturing process of the upper rough fracture surface 1 and the lower rough fracture surface 2 is as follows:

[0090] First, the square original rock is split to obtain the upper rough fracture surface 1 and the lower rough fracture surface 2, and the acrylic plate is fixed to the two sides of the rock fracture surface by using glue to form a connecting edge for subsequent glue coating to fix and seal the connection of the fracture surface;

[0091] The original fracture surface is replicated using a flexible epoxy resin material according to the method of the remolding technology to obtain an upper rough fracture surface 1 having an upper rough fracture surface connecting edge 3 and a lower rough fracture surface 2 having a lower rough fracture surface connecting edge 4;

[0092] Glue is applied on the connecting edges on both sides of the upper rough crack surface 1 and the lower rough crack surface 2, and a rubber strip 5 is placed between the connecting edge 3 of the upper rough crack surface and the connecting edge 4 of the lower rough crack surface to control the crack opening. The upper and lower surfaces are fitted together so that the upper rough crack surface 1 and the lower rough crack surface 2 are fixedly sealed and connected, and a crack space 6 is formed between the upper rough crack surface 1 and the lower rough crack surface 2 so that liquid leakage from the side will not occur.

[0093] The present invention adopts a transparent fracture model with the geometric morphology of natural rock fractures as the experimental object, and realizes the visual observation of the filled fracture seepage-erosion experiment through the quality monitoring module, the pressure monitoring module and the image acquisition module.

[0095] In summary, the present invention adopts a transparent fracture model as an experimental object to ensure that the fracture geometry can reflect the geometric morphology of real rock fractures; compared with traditional seepage experiments, the present invention provides a layered filling fracture model that can reflect the layered characteristics of the soil, and sets the outlet cavity as an open outlet, and the lower surface as an arc surface to avoid the loss of particles trapped inside the outlet cavity 16 during the filling fracture seepage experiment, and uses the spiral pull rod pressure sensor 23 to monitor the seepage-erosion process of the filling fracture in real time, and further quantify the particle loss during the seepage-erosion process; traditional seepage experiments use CT and X-rays to observe the spatial distribution of fracture pores, which has a long scanning time, high equipment cost, and cannot realize real-time observation of the seepage erosion process. The transparent fracture used in the present invention can observe the seepage-erosion process in real time through the camera 27, and has the advantages of high acquisition frame rate, low equipment cost, and strong repeatability.
