[0021] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer and more understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0023] As Figures 1 to 10 shown, a shale gas content measuring device provided by a specific embodiment of the present invention is used to detect cylindrical rock samples, and includes a base. Two groups of end cylinders 201 are installed on the base, and the two groups of end cylinders 201 are arranged opposite to each other up and down. At least one group of clamping pieces 301 is installed between the two groups of end cylinders 201; The clamping member 301 includes a connecting cylinder 3011 hermetically connected to two groups of end cylinders 201. At least two groups of clamping plates 3014 are installed inside the connecting cylinder 3011. In the accompanying drawings of this specification, four groups are taken as an example. Two groups of clamping plates 3014 are combined to form a clamping cylinder adapted to the rock sample. A spiral track cylinder 3015 is provided on the circumferential side of the clamping cylinder. A pulling rope 401 is threaded through the spiral track cylinder 3015. A clamping plate connecting member 3013 is connected between the clamping plate 3014 and the connecting cylinder 3011 for the two groups of clamping plates 3014 to approach or move away from each other; Both ends of the pulling rope 401 are connected to a pulling rod motor 2015. The pulling rod motor 2015 is fixedly installed in the end cylinder 201 for applying a pulling force along the axial direction of the rock sample to the pulling rope 401; An air cylinder 2013 is further installed inside the end cylinder 201. A contact plate 2014 is installed at the end of the air cylinder 2013 for applying pressure to both ends of the rock sample; A thermostat is further installed inside the end cylinder 201 for regulating the temperature; An air pump is installed on the base. The air pump is connected to an air pipe. The air pipe extends into the end cylinder 201 for evacuating the measurement space formed by the end cylinder 201 and the clamping member 301.

[0024] When measuring a cylindrical rock sample, the upper end cylinder 201 is opened, and then the rock sample is placed into the connecting cylinder 3011. The bottom of the rock sample is placed on the contact plate 2014 below, and the whole is located between the two clamping plates 3014. Then the upper end cylinder 201 is hermetically connected to the connecting cylinder 3011. Then the pulling rod motor 2015 is started. According to the pressure required by the simulation, the power of the pulling rod motor 2015 is controlled, so that the pulling rope 401 is tightened. The pulling rope 401 is spirally wound around the two groups of clamping plates 3014, locking the two groups of clamping plates 3014 towards the central axis, and then squeezing the rock sample in all directions, which can reduce the uneven force application caused by the deformation of the clamping plate 3014 and improve the detection accuracy. At the same time, the two air cylinders 2013 apply pressure to both ends of the rock sample, and the thermostat regulates the temperature, and the air pump evacuates the air, simulating the underground environment. Among them, the thermostat and the air pump are common devices and are not particularly shown in the accompanying drawings of the specification. The pulling rope 401 is made of a material with less deformation under force, such as Kevlar fiber and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber, etc.

[0025] In some optional specific embodiments, such as Figure 2As shown, the base includes a lead screw base 101. Inside the lead screw base 101, a lead screw 102 is installed. The end of the lead screw 102 is power-connected to a lead screw motor 103. The lead screw motor 103 is fixedly installed on the lead screw base 101 and is used to drive the lead screw 102 to rotate. A lead screw slide plate 104 is adaptively installed on the lead screw 102. A fixed plate 105 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the lead screw base 101. Two groups of end cylinders 201 are respectively installed in the lead screw slide plate 104 and the fixed plate 105. By driving the lead screw 102 to rotate through the lead screw motor 103, the lead screw slide plate 104 is driven to move, thereby realizing the up-and-down movement of the upper end cylinder 201.

[0026] In some optional specific embodiments, as Figures 1 to 4 shown, a first sealing connector 2016 is connected between the end cylinder 201 at the bottom and the clamping member 301. A second sealing connector 3012 is connected between the clamping members 301. A third sealing connector 3016 is connected between the clamping member 301 and the end cylinder 201 at the top. The first sealing connector 2016, the second sealing connector 3012, and the third sealing connector 3016 have the same structure but different installation positions, realizing the assembly of the clamping member 301, which can be applicable to the measurement of rock sample specimens of different lengths, improving the diversity of the specimens, and thus improving the accuracy of the measurement results.

[0027] In some optional specific implementations, as Figures 1 to 5 shown, the third sealing connector 3016 includes a connecting ring 3061 sleeved at the connection part of the connecting cylinder 3011 and the end cylinder 201. Limiting rings 3063 and threaded rings 3064 are respectively arranged at both ends of the connecting ring 3061. A resisting ring 3062 is fixedly installed on the circumferential side of the connecting cylinder 3011. The resisting ring 3062 cooperates with the limiting ring 3063 to limit the extreme position of the connecting ring 3061. Threads adapted to the threaded ring 3064 are provided on the circumferential side of the end cylinder 201. During use, after the end cylinder 201 and the connecting cylinder 3011 are docked, the connecting ring 3061 is rotated so that the threaded ring 3064 is screwed tightly on the end cylinder 201, and the limiting ring 3063 abuts tightly against the resisting ring 3062.

[0028] In some optional specific embodiments, as Figures 1 to 4 shown, the end of the pull rope 401 in each group of the clamping members 301 is connected with a quick connector. The spiral track cylinders 3015 in adjacent clamping members 301 are mutually adapted and on the same spiral track. Thus, the quick connection of the pull ropes 401 in multiple clamping members 301 is realized.

[0029] In some optional specific embodiments, a positioning pin and a positioning hole are respectively provided at the ends of two adjacent clamping members 301 for determining that the two spiral track cylinders 3015 are on the same spiral track.

[0030] In some optional specific embodiments, asFigures 6 to 10 As shown, the clamping plate connecting member 3013 includes an installation cylinder 3131 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 3011. A connecting column 3133 is movably installed inside the installation cylinder 3131. A connecting spring 3132 is connected between the connecting column 3133 and the installation cylinder 3131. A limiting pin 3134 is connected to the peripheral side of the end of the connecting column 3133. A connecting seat 3135 is installed on the clamping plate 3014. A clamping plate 3136 is installed at the top of the connecting seat 3135. A central hole for the connecting column 3133 to move downward is provided on the clamping plate 3136. The central hole is connected to an insertion hole 3137 for the limiting pin 3134 to move downward. A limiting opening 3138 for the limiting pin 3134 to be inserted into is provided on the bottom end face of the clamping plate 3136. A elastic cavity is provided below the clamping plate 3136. A return spring 3139 is installed inside the elastic cavity. The top of the return spring 3139 is connected to a second pressing plate 3144 for pressing the connecting column 3133 to fix the limiting pin 3134 in the limiting opening 3138. During use, by pressing down the connecting column 3133, the second pressing plate 3144 is pressed down, the limiting pin 3134 is removed from the limiting opening 3138, and the connecting column 3133 is rotated so that the limiting pin 3134 is rotated to a position aligned with the insertion hole 3137. Then the limiting pin 3134 is lifted upward so that the clamping plate 3014 and the connecting cylinder 3011 can be separated. Then clamping plates 3014 of different specifications are installed on the connecting cylinder 3011, and the measurement of rock samples with different diameters can be realized, improving the diversity of samples.

[0031] In some optional specific embodiments, such as Figures 6 to 10As shown, the bottom of the reset spring 3139 is connected to the first extrusion plate 3140, the bottom of the first extrusion plate 3140 is connected to the contact column 3143, the clamping plate 3014 is provided with a through hole for the contact column 3143 to pass through, the bottom of the connecting seat 3135 is provided with a limiting bottom ring 3141 for limiting the downward movement of the first extrusion plate 3140, the limiting bottom ring 3141 is provided with a moving hole 3142 for the contact column 3143 to pass through, and a rangefinder is installed on the limiting bottom ring 3141 for monitoring the calibration distance l between the first extrusion plate 3140 and the limiting bottom ring 3141 when the clamping plate 3014 clamps the rock sample. The rangefinder is electrically connected to an analysis module, and a threshold distance range L is preset in the analysis module. If the calibration distance l∈threshold distance L, it is judged to be normal. If the calibration distance l∉threshold distance L, it is judged to be wrong, the test is interrupted and an error is reported. During measurement, when multiple groups of clamps 3014 clamp the rock sample, at this time, if the processing size of the rock sample is accurate, the clamps 3014 and the rock sample are tightly fitted, the contact column 3143 is pushed back into the through hole by the rock sample, and the first extrusion plate 3140 retracts the most. At this time, there is a maximum distance between the first extrusion plate 3140 and the limiting bottom ring 3141. In order to allow a certain error, a threshold distance L is set. When the calibration distance l does not belong to the threshold distance L, it may be that the processing accuracy of the rock sample is insufficient, and its processed diameter is too small, which will cause the calibration distance L < threshold distance L. In some equipment problems, or the rock sample has a small state such as a bulge, it may cause the calibration distance L > threshold distance L. Therefore, the accuracy of the rock sample can be verified during measurement to avoid errors caused by insufficient processing accuracy of the rock sample.

[0032] In some optional specific embodiments, a displacement sensor is installed on the pull rod motor 2015 to monitor the pulling distance m of the output end of the pull rod motor 2015. The displacement sensor is electrically connected to the analysis module. The analysis module is provided with a pulling standard distance M. If the pulling distance m < the pulling standard distance M, it is determined that the processing diameter of the rock sample is too large, otherwise no error is reported. When the diameter of the rock sample is too large, the clamps 3014 cannot be closed, and the margin of the pull rope 401 will be reduced, resulting in the pulling distance m < the pulling standard distance M. Here, the pulling standard distance means that when the diameter of the rock sample is standard, the distance that the pull rod motor 2015 pulls the pull rope 401 to move, combined with the threshold distance L, can detect whether the diameter of the rock sample is too large or too small, eliminating the influence of the rock sample processing accuracy factor on the result.

[0033] In some optional specific implementations, the end tube 201 includes a cylinder body 2012 , and the cylinder body 2012 is sealedly connected to an end cover 2011 .

[0034] Working principle of the present invention: When measuring a cylindrical rock sample, the upper end cylinder 201 is opened, and then the rock sample is placed into the connecting cylinder 3011. The bottom of the rock sample is placed on the lower contact plate 2014 and is entirely located between the two clamping plates 3014. Then, the upper end cylinder 201 is hermetically connected to the connecting cylinder 3011. After that, the pull rod motor 2015 is started, and according to the pressure required by the simulation, the power of the pull rod motor 2015 is controlled, so that the pull rope 401 is tightened. The pull rope 401 is spirally wound around the two clamping plates 3014 to lock the two clamping plates 3014 towards the central axis, thereby squeezing the rock sample in all directions, which can reduce the uneven force application caused by the deformation of the clamping plates 3014 and improve the detection accuracy. At the same time, the two pneumatic ejector rods 2013 apply pressure to both ends of the rock sample, and at the same time, the thermostat regulates the temperature, and the air pump evacuates the air to simulate the underground environment. Among them, the thermostat and the air pump are common devices and are not particularly shown in the accompanying drawings of the specification.

[0035] When multiple sets of clamping plates 3014 clamp the rock sample, at this time, if the processing size of the rock sample is precise, then the clamping plates 3014 are in close contact with the rock sample, and the contact column 3143 is pushed back into the through hole by the rock sample, and the first pressing plate 3140 retracts the most. At this time, there is a maximum distance between the first pressing plate 3140 and the limiting bottom ring 3141. In order to allow a certain error to exist, a threshold distance L is set. When the calibration distance l does not belong to the threshold distance L, it may be that the processing accuracy of the rock sample is insufficient and its processed diameter is too small, which will result in the calibration distance L < the threshold distance L. In some equipment problems, or when the rock sample has small protrusions, etc., it may lead to the calibration distance L > the threshold distance L. At the same time, when the diameter of the rock sample is too large, the clamping plates 3014 cannot close, and the remaining amount of the pull rope 401 will decrease, resulting in the pulling distance m < the pulling standard distance M. Here, the pulling standard distance is the distance that the pull rod motor 2015 pulls the pull rope 401 to move when the diameter of the rock sample is standard. Combined with the threshold distance L, it can be detected whether the diameter of the rock sample is too large or too small, excluding the influence of the rock sample processing accuracy factor on the result.

[0036] In addition, it should be noted that the present invention can also place the base horizontally to measure the horizontally placed rock sample.
