In the experiment of determining rock mechanical parameters, the point load test can be applied in the laboratory or engineering site because of the small applied load, simple operation and portable equipment. Therefore, the point load test is a more practical, simple, time-saving and economical method to obtain rock mechanical parameters, and it can be carried out on a large number of mining sites to make the test data more representative and reliable. However, the rock mechanical parameters obtained by the point load test are only the point load strength parameters. The rock deformation parameters during the point load application process are not measured and the corresponding stress-strain curves are not recorded. This does not give full play to the advantages of the point load test to a certain extent, which is not conducive to the scientific research of rock mechanical properties under point loads and the guidance of engineering practice, and hinders the further promotion and application of point load tests.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The control and monitoring system realizes automatic real-time monitoring of pressure and deformation parameters, as well as data processing and analysis by connecting the device frame and the loading device.

[0029] The device frame is mainly composed of profile 1, T-shaped connecting plate 2, right-angle connecting piece 3 and columnar connecting circle 4. Figure 1 As shown, the T-shaped connecting plate 2 is fixed on the profile 1 at the lower position, the right-angle connecting piece 3 is installed on the profile 1 at the vertical and bottom horizontal positions, and the columnar connecting circle 4 is installed at the bottom of the profile 1 at the top position. Specifically, the profiles 1 of different lengths are connected and fixed by the right-angle connecting piece 3 and the T-shaped connecting plate 2, and the columnar connecting circle 4 is connected to the profile 1 by screws.

[0030] The loading device applies a point load to the rock specimen. The loading device mainly consists of a point load upper pressure head 5, a point load lower pressure head 6, a receiving plate 7, a hydraulic jack 8, a first quick connector 9, a manual pump 10, a second quick connector 11, a relief valve 12 and a connecting pipe 13. Figure 1 As shown, the point load lower pressure head 6, the receiving tray 7 and the hydraulic jack 8, the point load upper pressure head 5 is connected to the pressure sensor, the hydraulic jack 8 is connected to the profile 1 on the device frame and is located at the bottom, the receiving tray 7 is used to receive the debris after the rock is crushed, the hydraulic jack 8 and the manual pump 10 are both provided with quick connectors, and the pipe 13 is connected to the quick connector to connect the hydraulic jack 8 and the manual pump 10 together.

[0031] The control and monitoring system controls each part, and is composed of a pressure sensor 14, a laser distance sensor 15, a bearing sheet 16, a screw rod 17, a linear rail 18, a slider 19, a stable bearing sheet 20, a motor connecting sheet 21, a coupling 22, a motor 23, a power supply 24 and a control box 25. The lower part of the pressure sensor 14 is connected to the point load upper pressure head 5, and the upper part of the pressure sensor 14 is connected to the columnar connecting truncated table 4. The pressure sensor 14 is used to monitor the applied point load value.

[0032] The linear rail 18 is connected and fixed to the device frame, the upper part of the linear rail 18 is connected to the bearing plate 16 , and the lower part of the linear rail 18 is connected to the motor connecting plate 21 .

[0033] The screw rod 17 is connected with the bearing sheet 16 and the stable bearing sheet 20. The slider 19 connects the screw rod 17 and the linear rail 18 together.

[0034] The lower part of the motor 23 is connected and fixed to the device frame, the upper part of the motor 23 is connected to the motor connecting piece 21, and the coupling 22 connects the screw rod 17 to the motor 23.

[0035] There are three laser distance measuring sensors 15, which are fixed at the lower part of the device frame to monitor the position of the receiving plate 7, so as to determine the deformation of the rock specimen in the vertical direction under the point load. The laser distance measuring sensors 15 are respectively connected to the sliders on the left and right sides to monitor the deformation of the rock specimen in the horizontal direction (or vertical loading direction) under the point load.

[0036] The power supply 24 is fixed on the device frame to provide power for the entire experimental device.

[0037] The control box 25 is fixed on the device frame. The surface of the control box 25 is provided with a display screen 26 and an operation button 27. The programmable controller and the motor driver are fixed inside the control box 25. The display screen 26 is used to display the applied load value, stress-strain curve, point load intensity parameter and deformation parameter (in vertical and horizontal directions) in real time. The pressure sensor 14 monitors the applied point load value and inputs the analog value into the programmable controller inside the control box 25. The laser ranging sensor 15 monitors the deformation value of the rock and inputs the analog value into the programmable controller inside the control box 25.

[0038] The specific measurement principle is:

[0039] The initial state is Figure 5 As shown, the preload state is Figure 6 As shown, the loading status is as follows Figure 7 As shown. In the initial state (returning to the initial state after each experiment), the distance between the two laser distance sensors 15 in the horizontal direction is w1, the height from the point load upper pressure head 5 to the upper part of the device frame is h1, the height from the lower laser distance sensor 15 to the receiving plate 7 is h2, the height between the point load upper pressure head 5 and the point load lower pressure head 6 is h3, and the height from the two laser distance sensors 15 measuring points in the horizontal direction to the upper part of the device frame is h4.

[0040] In the pre-stressing state (tightening the rock specimen), the height from the lower laser distance sensor 15 to the receiving plate 7 is h6, and the size of the specimen in the vertical direction is h=h3-(h6-h2), and the two laser distance sensors 15 in the horizontal direction are lowered by a distance h5 (aimed at the middle of the specimen in the vertical direction), h5=h1+0.5[h3-(h6-h2)]-h4, and at this time, the left and right laser distance sensors 15 in the horizontal direction can measure the distances from the surface of the rock specimen to be w2 and w3 respectively, and the size of the rock specimen in the horizontal direction is w=w1-w2-w3. h5 can be controlled by controlling the running time t of the motor 23. If the lead of the screw rod is p and the speed of the motor 23 is n, t=h5 / pn is calculated according to h5=pnt.

[0041] Under the loading state (if the applied point load is Pi), the distance from the lower laser distance sensor 15 to the receiving plate becomes hi6'. At this time, the distances from the left and right laser distance sensors 15 to the surface of the rock specimen in the horizontal direction can be measured as wi2' and wi3' respectively. Then the deformation of the rock specimen in the vertical direction is Δhi=hi6'-h6, and the strain is εi z =Δhi / h. The deformation of the rock specimen in the horizontal direction is Δwi=w2-wi2'+w3-wi3', and the strain is εi x =Δwi / w. This experimental device is for standard cylindrical specimens, and the applied load can be converted into applied stress. The calculation formula is:

[0042]

[0043] Record and plot the load stress σi and strain εi at different points z The relationship curve between the two can be used to obtain the stress-strain curve of the rock under the point load. If the rock is damaged, that is, the applied point load is Pimax, then the corresponding σimax is the point load strength Is(50) = σimax. At the same time, it can be found that when the applied point load is 50% Pimax (50% of the maximum applied load), the point load stress is 50% σimax, and the strain in the vertical direction is ε z50 , the horizontal strain is ε x50 , then the deformation modulus of rock under point load (the ratio of stress to strain when half of the maximum applied load) is E = 50% σimax / ε z50 , Poisson's ratio of rock under point load (ratio of strain in horizontal direction to strain in vertical direction when half of the maximum applied load) μ = ε x50 / ε z50 .

[0044] The test steps of the point load device for measuring rock deformation parameters are as follows:

[0045] ①Assemble and connect the various parts of the device.

[0046] ② Turn on the experiment start / end button, the entire experimental device starts, the initial state is as follows Figure 5 shown.

[0047] ③Install the rock specimen and operate the manual pump to complete the preloading of the rock specimen (generally, the load applied to the rock specimen is 0 to 0.5KN to complete the preloading).

[0048] ④ Turn on the experiment button, the control monitoring system first controls the rotation time t of the motor 23 to make the two laser distance sensors 15 in the horizontal direction drop by a distance h5, then the display screen displays "Formal Experiment", and then operates the manual pump to load the specimen according to the experimental requirements until the rock specimen is destroyed. During the loading process, the screen will display in real time the applied point load Pi and stress σi, the deformation Δhi and strain εi of the rock specimen in the vertical direction z , the deformation Δwi and strain εi of the rock specimen in the horizontal direction x , and record and draw the load stress σi and strain εi at different points in real time z After the rock specimen is destroyed, the maximum applied load Pimax, point load strength Is(50)=σimax, rock deformation modulus E under point load, and rock Poisson's ratio μ under point load will be displayed.

[0049] ⑤ Turn on the next set of experimental buttons, the device will return to the initial state. Figure 5 As shown, the previous set of experimental data will be saved (the data can be exported), and then the unloading valve will be opened to restore the hydraulic jack to its initial state.

[0050] ⑥ After cleaning the experimental device, you can proceed to the next set of experiments. If you turn on the experiment start / end button again, the entire device will be shut down. If you do not want to conduct experiments anymore, you can also disassemble the device to facilitate long-distance transportation.

[0051] In the description of the present invention, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "install", "connect", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0052] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
