Nitrogen is stored in the gas cylinder 31; Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, the active water preparation system A includes multiple liquid storage tanks 1 and flow controllers 2, and can configure active water of different types and concentrations according to experimental requirements. The delivery pipelines of the liquid storage tanks 1 are connected to the flow controllers 2 and then converge into a single pipeline that extends under the water tank 5, facilitating thorough mixing. Moreover, the stirring blades 4 have a short-long-short structure from top to bottom, and are more likely to form a pointed vortex during stirring, enabling more thorough mixing of the active water.
[0026] Specifically, a first ball valve 6-1 is provided on the pipeline between the water tank 5 and the water pump 7, and a check valve 8 is provided between the output end of the water pump 7 and the first branch, such that the active water can only flow out along the water pump 7, preventing the active water from flowing back into the water pump 7. A pressure transmitter 11 and a pressure relief valve 9 are provided on the first branch, and the output end of the first branch is connected to the water tank 5, thereby forming a first circulating water path, enabling the water pump 7 to operate for a long time.

The integrated operation console 28 is connected to the acoustic signal amplifier 30 to convert and process the acoustic signal, which is more convenient for monitoring the crack propagation law of the specimen.
[0028] Specifically, nitrogen is stored in the gas cylinder 31. The gas pressurization system 35 can pressurize the input nitrogen through the booster pump 43 and perform secondary pressure adjustment by rotating the pressure regulating knob 37, making it more convenient and intuitive to obtain the required gas pressure for the experiment. The outer wall of the liquid nitrogen storage tank 39 is made of super heat-insulating material, and the adiabatic transmission pipe is connected to the true triaxial loading system C and the circulating liquid nitrogen stamping system D to prevent the loss of temperature and gas pressure of high and low temperature liquid nitrogen during the stamping of the specimen. A constant pressure energy release sheet 41 is arranged below the liquid nitrogen stamping module and is opened when the gas pressure in the liquid nitrogen storage tank 39 is too high to reduce the safety risk. A remote control heating sheet 47 is arranged between the adiabatic transmission pipe 42 and the liquid injection head 38 to ensure the cyclic injection of low and high temperature liquid nitrogen. The dual action of the water-ice phase change freeze-thaw effect and the vaporization expansion force increases the fatigue damage of the coal body and accelerates the permeability enhancement effect.
