In the preparation stage, the equipment is connected and operated, a number of experimental carrier tubes (1) are selected for the experiment, the crushed soft low-permeability coal rock sample columns obtained in the early stage are placed in each experimental carrier tube (1), and each coal rock sample column is ultrasonically scanned by an ultrasonic detector to detect the distribution of cracks in each coal rock sample column; Step 2. Loading simulation: for each experimental carrier tube (1), the coal rock sample column is preferentially subjected to multi-point expansion pressure using an expansion unit (4), and the stress changes of the coal rock sample column at different positions are monitored by a stress sensor to ensure that the stress loading of each experimental carrier tube (1) meets the experimental requirements; and then, according to the experimental restoration simulation requirements, the coal rock sample column is subjected to torsional stress loading at different positions through each stress loading unit (3), wherein during torsional stress loading, the diversion oil can be continuously transported through the circulation pipe, so that the swivel (32) forms an uninterrupted dynamic loading on the coal rock sample column under the deflection action; Step 3. Coal is removed to relieve pressure, and the threaded blades (15) in the coal extraction pipe (16) are started, and the coal extraction pipe (16) is gradually advanced into the coal sample column, thereby forming a horizontal channel in the coal sample column; at the same time, the air pump system (25) or the liquid pump system (26) is started to deliver the carbon dioxide in the carbon dioxide storage tank (21) and the water-based liquid in the water-based storage tank (22) into the fracturing channel of the coal extraction pipe (16) through the delivery pipe (12), so as to perform internal fracturing on the coal sample column; Step 4. Extraction test: extract coalbed methane from the coal sample column through an extraction system arranged outside the experimental carrier tube (1), and record the extraction volume and pressure related parameters; Step 5. Data collation and comparison: collate the data recorded during the experiment, including relevant data on stress, air pressure, flow rate, and extraction volume, and compare the crack expansion and permeability changes of the coal sample column in each experimental carrier tube (1), so as to evaluate the impact of different coal excavation and pressure relief on the permeability of the crushed, soft, and low-permeability coal seam.
