Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of coal seam coal rock mechanical property testing, and specifically is a method for accurately and faithfully testing the three-resistance strength parameters of coal rock before heat injection and permeability enhancement. Background Art
[0002] In modern mining, with the increase of mining depth and the development of technology, coal mining faces more and more complex geological environment and rock mechanical conditions. Especially for coal seam heat injection permeability enhancement technology, its successful implementation is closely related to the accurate determination of coal rock mechanical parameters. As the main carrier in the mining process, the mechanical properties of coal rock are directly related to the safety, production efficiency and economic benefits of coal mines. Therefore, the determination and research of coal rock mechanical parameters have important practical significance and theoretical value.
[0003] Coal rock is a complex multiphase material, mainly composed of organic and inorganic matter, and its internal structure has significant heterogeneity and anisotropy. The physical and mechanical properties of coal rock are affected by many factors, including the origin of coal, sedimentary environment, geological history and moisture content. Heat injection can heat the coal seam to increase its temperature, thereby reducing the stress and cohesion of the coal seam, promoting the formation or expansion of microcracks in the coal seam, and enhancing the permeability of the coal seam, which will help to release coalbed methane faster and improve mining efficiency. There are also certain risks in the coal seam heat injection permeability enhancement operation, such as gas outburst and coal rock collapse. By measuring the mechanical parameters of coal rock, these risks can be evaluated and controlled to ensure the safety of the operation. Therefore, before implementing heat injection permeability enhancement, the impact on the surrounding environment must be considered. Accurate mechanical parameters can help predict and evaluate the impact of heat injection measures on coal seams, so as to take corresponding protective measures.
[0004] The determination of coal rock mechanical parameters is mainly to obtain the mechanical properties of coal seams and surrounding rocks during the process of heat injection and permeability enhancement. These parameters include compressive strength, tensile strength, and shear strength. By determining these parameters, a scientific basis can be provided for the design, implementation, and safety assessment of heat injection and permeability enhancement in coal seams.
[0005] At present, the determination of mechanical parameters of coal and rock mainly relies on traditional testing methods. These methods usually require destructive testing of coal and rock samples to obtain data, which has some obvious limitations: Insufficient test accuracy: Due to the heterogeneity of coal and rock materials, a single test method is often difficult to fully reflect their mechanical properties. Each test is conducted on a different device. Over time, the physical properties of coal and rock will change, and the parameters cannot be maintained as the monitoring environment changes.
[0006] Complex operation: The operation steps of traditional testing methods are cumbersome, with high requirements for the professional skills of testers, which are prone to human errors. For example, if the preparation and installation process of the test specimen is not rigorous, it may affect the test results.
[0007] Long time consumption: Each test needs to be carried out independently, and the overall test cycle is long, which affects the accuracy of test data.
[0008] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new testing method that can not only improve the testing accuracy, but also effectively shorten the testing time and improve work efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0009] The purpose of the present invention is to integrate multiple testing technologies, aiming to improve the accuracy and efficiency of testing, reduce human errors, and provide a scientific basis for coal mine safety management and resource development, and provide a precise and faithful testing method for the three anti-strength parameters of coal and rock before heat injection and permeability enhancement.

[0011] In some embodiments, when preparing the sample in S1, it is necessary to ensure that the cutting size is adapted to the testing device, and mechanical grinding is used for surface treatment to eliminate the stress concentration area.

[0013] In some embodiments, the temperature and humidity control accuracy in S3 is: temperature deviation ±0.5°C, humidity deviation ±3%RH.
[0014] In some embodiments, when calculating each strength in S4 - S6, the measurement of the shear plane angle α is corrected in real time by a laser angle gauge, and the friction coefficient f is determined through a pre-experiment friction correction test.
[0015] In some embodiments, the Grubbs criterion is used to remove outliers in S7, and the significance level is set to 0.05.
[0016] In some embodiments, after mechanical grinding, surface roughness detection needs to be carried out, and the Ra value is controlled within the range of 0.8 - 1.6 μm.
[0017] In some embodiments, the frame rate of the high-speed camera is not less than 1000 fps, and it is used in conjunction with the DIC digital image correlation system for full-field strain analysis.

Detailed Embodiments
[0023] To make the purposes, 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. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention; based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0024] S1: Sample Preparation The selection and preparation of Sample 1 are important factors affecting the test results. In this step, the following standards are followed for operation: Sample source: Select representative coal and rock samples from the coal seam to ensure that the samples can reflect the actual situation within the range of heat injection and permeability enhancement. Samples should be collected from different positions and depths to obtain more comprehensive mechanical properties.
[0025] According to the test requirements, a standardized tool is used to cut the samples to meet the specifications of different tests. The diameter D of the drilled coal and rock core is required to be not less than 50 mm, and the total length t of the coal and rock core drilled in each layer is not less than 50 cm (to facilitate the production of sufficient standard rock specimens). The coal and rock cores in each layer should be kept as continuous as possible without breakage. If breakage occurs, the length of each small section should be ensured to be not less than 100 mm. The surface of the sample is cleaned to remove dust and impurities.
[0026] Surface treatment: After the sample is cut, surface treatment is required to ensure that its surface is smooth and free of cracks. This step can be achieved through mechanical grinding or chemical treatment. The purpose is to eliminate the stress concentration areas on the sample surface and reduce the errors occurring during the test.
[0027] S2: Testing equipment The selected testing equipment directly affects the accuracy and efficiency of the test. This invention uses a multi-functional rock mechanics testing instrument, which has the following functions: Comprehensive testing function: Through a multi-functional test bench, the instrument has a tensile testing device 2, a compressive testing device 3, and a shear testing device 4 from left to right, and can simultaneously measure the compressive, tensile, and shear strengths, avoiding the errors and time losses caused by multiple devices.
[0028] High-precision sensors: Equipped with high-precision sensors 5, a high-speed camera 6, and a data acquisition system 7, it can record stress and deformation data in real time to ensure the accuracy of the data.
[0029] Automation control: It has an automation control function, can automatically adjust the loading rate according to the set test parameters, improve the stability and repeatability of the test; automatically control the temperature and humidity in the test hood 8 to ensure that the environmental parameters remain unchanged and reduce the errors caused by the test environment.
[0030] S3: Environmental control The test is carried out in a dedicated test hood 8 to ensure that environmental factors such as the experimental temperature and humidity are in a stable state. At the same time, all specimens are placed in the test hood to ensure their physical properties are consistent and avoid errors.
[0031] A temperature and humidity sensor 9 is used to monitor the test environment in real time, and the test environment is automatically adjusted through a temperature and humidity regulator 10 to ensure that the sample maintains its original physical state during the test (for example, the temperature of the raw coal and rock sample is 10 °C, and the temperature in the experimental hood is maintained at 9 - 11 °C).
[0032] S4: Compressive strength test The compressive strength test is an important part of the coal and rock strength test. The specific steps are as follows: Sample placement: Place the processed sample in the compressive testing machine to ensure good contact between the sample and the test device, and avoid errors caused by poor contact.
[0033] Loading process: Apply pressure gradually. It is recommended to use constant-speed loading, usually controlled at 0.5 MPa / s, to avoid sudden failure of the sample due to too fast loading rate.
[0034] Data recording: Record the deformation of the sample and the applied load in real time until the sample fails. The maximum load at failure is the compressive strength, which is calculated by the following formula: c = F c / A where c is the compressive strength, MPa; F c is the failure load, N; A is the cross-sectional area of the sample, mm 2 .
[0035] S5: Tensile strength test The test method for tensile strength is relatively complex, and the specific steps are as follows: Sample installation: Install the sample on the tensile testing machine to ensure that there is no lateral displacement of the sample during the loading process.
[0036] Loading rate: Set an appropriate loading rate, usually controlled at 1 MPa / s, and increase the tensile force gradually to ensure that the sample can be evenly stressed before failure.
[0037] Failure record: Record the load at which the sample breaks, and calculate the tensile strength using the following formula: r = 2F r / πDt where r is the tensile strength, MPa; F r is the fracture load, N; D is the diameter of the specimen, mm; t is the height of the specimen, mm.
[0038] S6: Shear strength test The implementation steps of the shear strength test are as follows: Sample installation: Place the sample in the shear testing machine to ensure that the upper and lower clamps of the sample are fixed well.
[0039] Apply shear force: Apply shear force gradually. Usually use constant-speed loading to ensure that the sample is evenly stressed and avoid local stress concentration.
[0040] Data recording: Record the shear force at failure, and the shear strength is calculated by the following formula: In the formula: τ is the shear stress, MPa; σ is the normal stress, MPa; F p is the failure load of the specimen, N;A is the shear cross-sectional area of the specimen, in mm 2 ; f is the friction coefficient of the balls under the lower plate of the testing machine, which can be determined by the friction correction test; α is the angle formed by the shear plane and the horizontal plane, in °.
[0041] S7: Data analysis Data analysis is a crucial part of the entire testing process, mainly including the following steps: Data processing: Use data processing software to analyze the test results, including removing outliers, calculating the mean and standard deviation, etc., to ensure the scientific nature of the test results.
[0042] Strength parameter curve plotting: Plot the test results into strength parameter curves to facilitate visual comparison of the mechanical properties of different coal and rock samples.
[0043] Result evaluation: Compare the test results under different conditions, analyze the performance of coal and rock under different stress states, and provide a theoretical basis for the design of subsequent coal seam heat injection and permeability enhancement measures.
[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
