[0002] In the field of engineering blasting, rock-breaking technology has always been a hot and difficult research topic. With the continuous advancement of infrastructure construction, the demand for efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly rock-breaking technology is becoming increasingly urgent. At present, the commonly used rock-breaking processes for rock mass excavation include drill and blast method, mechanical method, static (expansion agent) blasting method, hydraulic fracturing method, etc., but these methods all have different degrees of limitations. For example, the drill and blast method is widely used, but the phenomena such as vibration and flying rocks generated by it have a greater impact on the surrounding environment, and it is difficult to precisely control the rock-breaking effect; the mechanical rock-breaking method has problems such as low rock-breaking efficiency, high manual labor intensity, and difficulty in breaking hard rocks; the static blasting method has disadvantages such as high cost and uncertain expansion direction, which limit its application scope; the hydraulic fracturing method has technical bottlenecks such as environmental pollution.
[0003] In recent years, as an emerging rock-breaking technology, the carbon dioxide phase change fracturing technology has gradually attracted attention. This technology uses the high-pressure gas generated by the gasification of dry ice to achieve the fracturing of rock mass, and has the advantages of good safety, convenient operation, controllable rock-breaking direction, and small vibration pollution. However, there are still many problems in the existing carbon dioxide fracturing technology, such as high risk of flying pipes, insufficient energy release, lack of real-time feedback in detonator control, and parameter adjustment relying on manual experience. These problems lead to unstable blasting effects and are difficult to meet the complex and changeable engineering requirements. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The main purpose of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages and deficiencies of the existing technology, and provide a method for dry ice energy-gathering directional fracturing of rock.

The phrase appears in various positions in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. Those skilled in the art explicitly and implicitly understand that the embodiments described in this application can be combined with other embodiments.
[0026] As Figures 1 - 3 shown, this embodiment provides a method for dry ice energy-gathering directional rock fracturing, including the following steps: S1. Drill fracturing holes in the rock mass to be blasted. Among them, the diameter, depth and inclination angle of the fracturing holes are dynamically designed according to the hardness of the rock mass; for example, for hard rock (such as granite), dense hole arrangement (spacing ≤ 1.5 times the hole diameter) is adopted, and for soft rock (such as sandstone), it can be appropriately relaxed to 2 times the hole diameter.
[0027] S2. Fill dry ice (12) and energy-gathering agent (11) into the fracturing tube and complete the sealing, and control the filling density of dry ice to balance the gasification rate and pressure stability; an electronic detonator intelligent control system (10) is installed in the fracturing tube, and the system includes an electronic control module (20), a high-sensitivity microseismic monitoring sensor (19), a bridge wire discharge module (21), delay charge (22) and detonating charge (23).
[0028] S3. Install an energy absorption system at the top of the fracturing tube, set side wall energy-discharging grooves (16) on the side wall of the fracturing tube, and install adjustable flow guiding vanes (17) below the exhaust holes of the fracturing tube; the above components are all connected to the electronic detonator intelligent control system (10) through electric control cables and work in coordination under its instructions. Among them, the energy absorption system (10) is used to dissipate the blasting impact energy and inhibit the upward throwing or deviation of the fracturing tube body; the side wall energy-discharging grooves (16) control the pressure and direction of the explosion-discharging jet by adjusting the cross-sectional area and adjust the distribution of the blasting energy; the adjustable flow guiding vanes (17) are used to adjust the jet angle of the air flow and control the propagation direction of the explosion-generated cracks in the rock mass to be blasted.
[0029] Further, the fracturing pipe adopts a double-layer composite pipe body design. The outer pipe body (14) is made of an elastic composite material with a fiber volume fraction > 60% to absorb the impact energy of blasting and ensure the structural integrity of the pipe body. The inner pipe body (15) is made of high-strength alloy steel to absorb impact and prevent dry ice gasification. Among them, the yield strength of the high-strength alloy steel σ y ≥ 800 MPa, and the wall thickness satisfies: , where t 0 is the wall thickness of the inner high-strength alloy steel, P max is the maximum working pressure, unit: MPa; r is the inner radius, unit: mm; η is the welding coefficient; Δ t corr is the corrosion allowance, unit: mm.
[0030] The central chamber of the double-layer composite pipe body is filled with dry ice, which directly contacts the inner wall of the high-strength alloy steel of the inner pipe body. The inner wall is coated with a heat insulation coating (13) to reduce heat dissipation during the gasification of dry ice and ensure that dry ice quickly gasifies to generate high-pressure gas under controlled conditions. The shaped charge is evenly wrapped around the dry ice and is in close contact with the dry ice. The shaped charge releases energy through a chemical reaction after detonation to accelerate the gasification of dry ice. In the annular space between the outer pipe body and the inner pipe body, an electronic detonator intelligent control system is installed. The system is fixed by brackets or chucks, and the leg wires are led out from the outer pipe body and connected to an external wireless terminal.
[0031] Further, the energy absorption system of the present application is a three-stage energy absorption system, which can not only dissipate the blasting impact energy step by step, suppress the upward throwing or deviation of the pipe body (i.e., flying pipe), and improve the pipe body recovery rate, but also dynamically respond to the transient change of the blasting pressure through the cooperation of different components. The three-stage energy absorption system includes a damping energy absorption mechanism, an oil pressure energy absorption mechanism, and a stiffness energy absorption mechanism. Among them, the damping energy absorption mechanism is connected to the oil pressure energy absorption mechanism and contacts the fracture hole wall, and absorbs the initial impact energy of the rock breaking work by adjusting the damping force through a magnetic field. The oil pressure energy absorption mechanism provides buffering and resists the oil pressure by compressing hydraulic oil. The stiffness energy absorption mechanism absorbs the residual impact energy through the non-linear change of stiffness, and its bottom is welded to the top cover of the fracturing pipe.
[0032] Furthermore, the damping and energy absorption mechanism includes a horizontally telescopic stop mechanism (2) and a magnetorheological fluid damper (3). Among them, the horizontally telescopic stop mechanism (2) is composed of a bolt (1) and a laterally telescopic arm driven by a hydraulic cylinder. The end of the laterally telescopic arm driven by the hydraulic cylinder is connected to the magnetorheological fluid damper (3); the damping and energy absorption mechanism is fixedly connected to the hydraulic pressure energy absorption mechanism through the bolt (1). The horizontally telescopic stop mechanism (2) is located on the outermost side of the fracturing pipe. Using the power provided by the hydraulic cylinder, the laterally telescopic arm driven by the hydraulic cylinder is horizontally moved to contact the wall of the fracturing hole. The magnetorheological fluid damper (3) is internally provided with a piston and magnetorheological fluid. The piston rod is rigidly connected to the horizontally telescopic stop mechanism, and the damping force is adjusted through a magnetic field to absorb the initial impact energy generated by blasting and prevent the fracturing pipe from being thrown up or offset. The damping force adjustment formula is: F d = ( F η + F τ )∙ A p , wherein, F η is the viscous damping force, F τ is the magnetic field-induced shear force, A p is the piston area.
[0033] For the hydraulic pressure energy absorption mechanism, it includes an oil cylinder (6), hydraulic oil (5), a flow-limiting orifice (4), and an anti-hydraulic pressure rubber plug (7); the oil cylinder (6) is located below the damping and energy absorption mechanism, and the cylinder body is bolt-fixed to the base of the magnetorheological fluid damper (3); the hydraulic oil (5) fills 85% - 90% of the volume of the oil cylinder (6), leaving a compression space; the anti-hydraulic pressure rubber plug (7) is installed at the bottom of the oil cylinder (6) and contacts the top of the spring (8) of the stiffness energy absorption mechanism; the flow-limiting orifice (4) is arranged on the side of the cylinder body. During the rock-breaking operation, when the explosion-relieving energy comes, the high-pressure gas will push the anti-hydraulic pressure rubber plug (7) to compress the hydraulic oil (5), and the hydraulic oil (5) will slowly release pressure through the flow-limiting orifice (4) to provide buffering and resist the hydraulic pressure, converting the kinetic energy into heat energy to prevent the pipe body from flying out and offsetting caused by blasting vibration. For the stiffness energy absorption mechanism, it includes a spring (8) and a guide rail (9). Among them, the spring (8) adopts a variable pitch design and is installed inside the guide rail (9). The guide rail (9) wraps the spring and restricts the horizontal freedom of the spring, and the bottom is welded to the top cover of the fracturing pipe. The initial pre-compression of the spring (8) contacts the anti-hydraulic pressure rubber plug (7). The spring (8) absorbs the residual impact energy through the non-linear change of stiffness; the non-linear change of the stiffness of the spring (6) is: , and the stiffness characteristic satisfies: , Among them, k ( x ) is the instantaneous stiffness of the spring, unit: N / m; x is the compression of the spring, unit: m; G is the shear modulus of the spring material, unit: Pa; d is the diameter of the spring, unit: m; D is the mean diameter of the spring, i.e., the average diameter, unit: m; n is the number of active coils of the spring; L 0 is the free length of the spring, i.e., the original length when not under force, unit: m; m p is the mass of the pipe body of the fracturing pipe, v p is the estimated impact velocity; the residual impact energy is further absorbed through the non-linear compression of the spring.
[0034] Further, the side wall energy-discharging groove on the side wall of the fracturing pipe is a Venturi structure with a cross-sectional area that can be adjusted in real time, realizing the directional distribution of the horizontal explosion energy. The adjustable deflector uses a NACA airfoil profile and is installed below the exhaust hole of the fracturing pipe, and the directional control of the rock-breaking work is achieved by adjusting its injection angle.
[0035] S4. Place the fracturing pipe into the drilled fracturing hole, input the rock mass parameters through the wireless terminal, and the electronic control module automatically matches the blasting parameters; among them, the rock mass parameters include hardness, density, elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, fracture toughness, etc.; the blasting parameters include deflector angle, cross-sectional area of the energy-discharging groove, charge amount, fracturing hole spacing, fracturing hole diameter and depth, and detonator delay, etc.
[0036] Further, after placing the fracturing pipe into the drilled fracturing hole, rotate the bolt of the horizontally telescopic stop mechanism so that the contact pressure between the magnetorheological damper and the fracturing hole wall is greater than or equal to 5 MPa, triggering the linkage of the three-stage energy absorption system.
[0037] S5. Send a detonation command to the fracturing pipe through the wireless terminal. After receiving it, the electronic control module generates an encrypted detonation signal and transmits it to the bridge wire discharge module through the leg wire; the bridge wire discharge module ignites the delay charge and the primary explosive, detonates the shaped charge in segments, and accelerates the gasification of dry ice for rock-breaking work.
[0038] The intelligent control system (10) of electronic detonators of the present application is used to safely and reliably detonate the dry ice phase change fracturing tube device. Its core functions include remote control of initiation, precise energy release, and real-time monitoring and feedback. The initiation process and effect are controlled through the cooperation between modules. Among them, the electronic control module (20) is used to remotely transmit and receive the initiation signal sent by the wireless terminal, and generate an encrypted initiation instruction, which is transmitted to the bridge wire discharge module (21) through the leg wire; after receiving the encrypted initiation instruction, the bridge wire discharge module (21) instantaneously discharges the bridge wire to generate high temperature (up to thousands of degrees Celsius), igniting the shaped charge (11) (such as oxidant, sensitizer, etc.), and at the same time igniting the delay charge (22) and the primary explosive (23). The shaped charge (11) is detonated in segments through chemical delay design. After being excited by the high temperature of the bridge wire, the primary explosive (23) rapidly deflagrates, accelerating the gasification of dry ice to generate high-pressure gas for rock breaking work; the high-sensitivity microseismic monitoring sensor (19) (frequency range 0.1 - 100 Hz) can capture the vibration signal of rock mass rupture in real time and feedback it to the wireless terminal to evaluate the blasting effect.
[0039] S6. During the rock breaking work, the electronic control module obtains the rock mass rupture signal real-time feedback by the high-sensitivity microseismic monitoring sensor, dynamically adjusts the blasting parameters, and conducts the rock breaking work directionally; if the high-sensitivity microseismic monitoring sensor fails, the electronic control module automatically switches to the preset conservative parameters (the cross-sectional area of the energy discharge groove is enlarged by 20%, and the angle of the deflector is reset to zero), and triggers an audible and visual alarm.
[0040] Furthermore, during the rock breaking work, the intelligent control system (10) of electronic detonators can monitor the environmental parameters through sensors and dynamically adjust the blasting parameters according to the real-time conditions. Specifically: Dynamically adjust the cross-sectional area of the energy discharge groove based on the feedback gas pressure of the pressure sensor. The dynamic adjustment method is: , where, A new is the adjusted cross-sectional area of the energy discharge groove (m 2 ), A old is the cross-sectional area of the energy discharge groove before adjustment (m 2 ), P actual is the actual gas pressure measured by the pressure sensor (Pa), P target is the target gas pressure (Pa).
[0041] Dynamically adjust the angle of the deflector based on the inclination angle of the fracturing hole and the target fracture direction and in combination with manual adjustment. The dynamic adjustment formula is: , where, θ is the angle of the deflector after adjustment,k a is the dip angle coupling coefficient; Δ θ adj is the manual adjustment increment, with a range of ±5°, used for fine-tuning; α and β are the dip angle of the fracture initiation hole and the target fracture direction respectively. The drilling angle is the angle between the fracture initiation hole and the horizontal plane; the target fracture direction is the preset fracture propagation direction. In this embodiment, the dip angle coupling coefficient is taken in the range of 0.8 - 1.2 based on the rock mass type, and the highest value is taken for hard rock.
[0042] According to the vibration frequency of the rock mass monitored by the high-sensitivity microseismic sensor f , if f > 50Hz, the detonator delay is dynamically adjusted according to the following formula t : , where, t is the adjusted detonator delay, t base is the reference detonator delay, f is the vibration frequency of the rock mass monitored by the microseismic sensor, K H is the hardness coefficient. In this embodiment, the reference detonator delay and the hardness coefficient are determined according to the rock mass type.

By controlling the energy release of the energy accumulator, the length and direction of fracture propagation can be precisely controlled.
[0048] S9. Taking the ratio of fracture length to energy as the reward function, use the historical blasting database to iteratively update the blasting parameters through machine learning.
[0049] Further, the present invention also adopts a machine learning algorithm to iteratively optimize the blasting parameters to better adapt to subsequent blasting operations; the present invention takes the ratio of fracture length to energy as the reward function and uses the Actor-Critic algorithm to iteratively optimize the blasting parameters through the dual mechanisms of policy evaluation and value function update; in the Actor-Critic algorithm, the environment is jointly composed of rock mass parameters (such as hardness, density, fracture toughness), real-time sensor data (such as gas pressure, microseismic frequency), and the fracture propagation results after blasting. The state ( s t ) is defined as the combination of current blasting parameters, including the deflector angle, the cross-sectional area of the energy-dissipating groove, the charge amount, the spacing of the fracture-causing holes, the diameter and depth of the fracture-causing holes, and the detonator delay, etc., and at the same time includes the rock mass response data monitored in real time. The action ( a t ) is the adjustment method of the blasting parameters, for example, dynamically adjusting the cross-sectional area of the energy-dissipating groove based on the feedback gas pressure of the pressure sensor A new . The specific optimization process is as follows: Construct an Actor network and a Critic network, and define the environment, state, and action; among them, the environment is composed of rock mass parameters, sensor data, and fracture propagation results; the state is composed of blasting parameters; the action is composed of the adjustment methods of blasting parameters; The Actor network generates a policy s t according to the input state π θ , and under the goal of maximizing the reward function (i.e., the ratio of fracture length to energy release), select the action a t and interact with the environment to obtain the reward and the next state s t+1 . The Critic network then uses the value functionV π Evaluation status s t and the next state s t+1 of the state value V π ( s t )、 V π ( s t+1 ) to calculate the temporal difference error δ t (TD error) to provide a basis for policy generation; where the temporal difference error δ t The calculation formula is: δ t = r t + γV π ( s t+1 ) - V π ( s t ), where, γ is the discount factor, r t is the immediate reward; δ t is the estimated error; V π ( s t ) and V π ( s t+1 ) are the state values estimated by the Critic network for the current state s t and the next state s t+1 respectively. The state value calculation combines the fracture length deviation and the energy consumption efficiency, and its goal is to minimize the difference between the theoretical value and the actual value.
[0050] The Actor network updates the parameters through policy gradients: , where, represents the gradient of the objective function J ( θ ]>) with respect to the set of Actor network parameters θ , that is is the gradient of a certain function with respect to θ ; To represent the expected (mean) operation under the policy π θ below, π θ ( a t | s t ) is the probability that the Actor network selects an action at state s t below; a t of; δ t is the temporal difference error, representing the deviation between the actual reward and the expected reward; θ is the set of parameters of the Actor network (such as neural network weights), and the above parameters are all dimensionless.
[0051] Iterative training is carried out until the convergence condition is reached; the convergence condition includes that the fluctuation of the reward function is less than the set reward threshold, the deviation of the fracture length is within the set deviation threshold, and the energy consumption is maintained in the range of 95% - 105% of the theoretical value.
[0052] During the training process, when the blasting of a continuous set number of times meets the conditions, the optimal policy parameters are locked to ensure the stability and repeatability of the blasting effect. This process gradually reduces the dependence on manual experience through real-time data feedback and machine learning iteration, and realizes the precise control of the dry ice energy-gathering rock fracturing process.
[0053] In this embodiment, the convergence condition is set as the fluctuation of the reward function is less than 5%, the deviation of the fracture length is within 8%, and the energy consumption is maintained in the range of 95% - 105% of the theoretical value. When the blasting of every continuous 20 times meets the conditions, the optimal policy parameters are locked.
