[0002] Explosive load simulation test devices, such as shock tubes and explosive tubes, are primarily used to test the damaging effects of weapons and equipment, engineering structures, and personnel.

These disadvantages include: 1. The materials used in TNT detonation and pure oxygen deflagration are hazardous, and if pyrotechnics are involved, their production, transportation, and management are risky and costly; 2.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0047] Example 1:

[0048] This embodiment provides an explosion load simulation test device, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a driving section 1 and a driven section 2. The driving section 1 is used to guide and contain the methane-air mixture and the explosion products, and mainly includes a test pipe with two through-holes. The test pipe includes a base pipe 11 and an explosion-venting pipe 12 with an explosion-venting vent on the outside of the top wall. The explosion-venting vent on the explosion-venting pipe 12 is used to provide an outlet for the internal high-temperature and high-pressure explosion products to prevent the explosion load from being transmitted back and forth in the base pipe 11. The explosion-venting pipe 12 can be transformed into the base pipe 11 by installing a completely enclosed explosion-venting plate, and the explosion-venting plate can be fixed to the top wall of the explosion-venting pipe 12 by bolts.

[0049] Furthermore, an obstacle baffle 13 is provided in the test pipeline for changing the flow state of the methane-air mixture and promoting the deflagration of the methane-air mixture. The basic pipeline 11, the explosion-proof pipeline 12 and / or the obstacle baffle 13 in the test pipeline can be connected in any combination and sequence, and are all connected to other adjacent components through flanges 14; for example, the basic pipelines 11 and the basic pipelines 11 can be fixed together by flanges 14, and the basic pipelines 11 and the explosion-proof pipeline 12 can be fixed together by flanges 14. The obstacle baffle 13 can be set between the basic pipelines 11 and the basic pipelines 11 and fixed together by flanges 14, or can be set between the basic pipelines 11 and the explosion-proof pipeline 12 and fixed together by flanges 14. It should be noted that, in combination with Figures 2 to 4The connections of the basic pipe 11, the explosion relief pipe 12 and the obstacle partition 13 are all provided with a flange mounting plate 141, and the flange mounting plate 141 is provided with a plurality of flange mounting holes 142. The flange 14 is installed in the flange mounting hole 142 to connect the various components.

[0050] Specifically, the test pipe is a steel pipe with a rectangular cross-section. For example, the cross-sectional dimensions may be 800×800 mm, the wall thickness may be 30 mm, and the length may be 30,000 mm. Assuming that the length of the basic pipe 11 or the explosion relief pipe 12 is 3,000 mm, the entire test pipe contains 10 basic pipes 11 or explosion relief pipes 12. In addition, the obstacle partition 13 is a steel plate component, and the cross-sectional width needs to be consistent with the test pipe. Different opening rates can be set by changing the cross-sectional height. Based on the above description, the number of obstacle partitions 13 that can be set is 1 to 9, and reference Figure 3 When the opening rate of the barrier partition 13 is 25%, the cross-sectional size is 800×200 mm. Figure 4 When the opening rate is 50%, the cross-sectional size is 800×400 mm.

[0051] It should be noted that in actual engineering applications, the cross-section of the test pipe is a specific matrix or circular shape. In addition, the cross-sectional dimensions, wall thickness, length of the test pipe, and the number, shape, position, and porosity of the barrier partitions 13 can all be set according to different working conditions, different load requirements, and actual test needs.

[0052] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the test pipe is further provided with polyethylene films fixed by magnetic strips, so that air-filled sections are formed between the polyethylene films.

[0053] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the driven section 2 comprises an enlarged section 21, a straight section 22, and a structural section 23, which are connected in sequence. The enlarged section 21 is a prism-shaped structure that expands the explosive load surface to an appropriate size to meet the needs of prototype testing. It also serves to reduce vortex generation within the tail of the base pipe 11 and the enlarged section 21, optimizing its aerodynamic performance. It diffuses the shock wave generated by the deflagration, reduces local flow velocity, and minimizes pressure fluctuations within the straight section 22. It primarily comprises a first end (a smaller diameter end) and a second end (a larger diameter end). The first end connects to the test pipe via a flange 14, with the same cross-sectional dimensions as the test pipe. The second end connects to the straight section 22 via a flange 14, with the same cross-sectional dimensions as the straight section 22. Specifically, the cross-sectional dimensions of the first end of the enlarged section 21 can be 800 x 800 mm, and the cross-sectional dimensions of the second end can be 2000 x 2000 mm, with a wall thickness of 30 mm and a length of 3000 mm.

[0054] Furthermore, both ends of the straight section 22 are connected to the second end of the enlarged section 21 and the structural section 23 via flanges 14, specifically, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the straight section 22 is provided with a flange mounting plate 141 at its connection to the second end of the expanded section 21 and at its connection to the structural section 23. The flange mounting plate 141 is provided with multiple flange mounting holes 142. The flange 14 is mounted in the flange mounting holes 142, thereby connecting the straight section 22 to the second end of the expanded section 21 and the structural section 23, respectively. The straight section 22 can adjust the distribution and arrival time of the explosive load to achieve a more uniform explosive load on the structural section 23, reduce turbulence and eddies within the structural section 23, improve the accuracy of test results, and measure the explosive load. Its cross-sectional dimensions can be 2000 x 2000 mm, with a wall thickness of 30 mm and a length of 2000 mm. Furthermore, the structural section 23 can be a steel plate or concrete slab to withstand the explosive load driven by the deflagration of a methane-air mixture. In this embodiment, the expanded section 21 and the straight section 22 generate a large and uniform explosive pressure load acting on the structural section 23 after the deflagration of the methane-air mixture.

[0055] As an embodiment, the test pipe is also provided with a plurality of through holes that can be sealed with bolts for installing a gas supply device, an ignition device, or a data acquisition device. In addition, one end of the non-connected expansion section 21 of the test pipe is also provided with an end cover plate 111, and the end cover plate 111 is provided with bolt holes 112 that can be sealed with bolts for installing a gas supply device, an ignition device, or a data acquisition device. Specifically, Figure 6 As shown, the basic pipe 11 is provided with two first through holes 151, which can be used to install a data acquisition device; it is also provided with two second through holes 152, which can be used to install an explosion-proof high-pressure blower in the gas supply device; on the left side of the basic pipe 11, the end cover plate 111 is connected to the flange mounting plate 141 through the flange 14, and the bolt hole 112 can be used to install a gas cylinder group or an ignition device in the gas supply device.

[0056] The explosion load simulation test device provided in this embodiment adopts a relatively safe and low-cost methane-air mixture gas as the explosion source, replacing the traditional explosion source in the existing technology that has safety risks and high economic costs, thereby improving the safety of the test and reducing the test cost.

[0057] As an optional embodiment, this embodiment designs optimized dimensions for the expanded section 21 and straight section 22: 3000 mm and 2000 mm, respectively. During the design process, a numerical model was first established. The accuracy and reliability of the numerical model were verified through mesh sensitivity analysis and comparison of simulation results at key locations with available experimental test data. Next, using the verified numerical model, a parametric study was conducted on the shape and length of the expanded section 21 and the length of the straight section 22. By analyzing their impact on the uniformity of the shock wave overpressure load distribution on the loading surface, the optimized dimensions of the expanded section 21 and straight section 22 were determined.

[0058] Specifically, regarding the shape of the expansion section 21, this embodiment designs three schemes based on engineering practice requirements, site conditions, and the purpose of optimizing the flow field distribution: Scheme 1 is a horizontal bottom arrangement; Scheme 2 is an inclined bottom with an asymmetrical arrangement; and Scheme 3 is an inclined bottom with a symmetrical arrangement. The planarity of the shock wave is quantitatively evaluated by comparing the two indicators of overpressure relative error and time absolute error. Among them, the overpressure relative error is used to measure the uniformity of the overpressure peak distribution, and its calculation formula is:

[0059] ,

[0060] Where, is the maximum pressure at the loading end; is the minimum pressure at the loading end;

[0061] The absolute time error is used to measure the synchronization of the shock wave front, and its calculation formula is:

[0062] ,

[0063] Where, is the slowest peak arrival time; is the fastest peak arrival time.

[0064] By comparison, although there are certain errors in Scheme 3, the relative error of overpressure and the absolute error of time both show relatively controllable performance. In addition, Scheme 3 can have a lower manufacturing cost and a more compact structure while ensuring uniform load on the loading surface. Therefore, the shape of the expansion section 21 is designed to be inclined at the bottom and symmetrically arranged up and down.

[0065] Furthermore, this embodiment continues to conduct parametric analysis on the lengths of the expanded section 21 and the straight section 22, still using the relative error of overpressure and the absolute error of time as key performance indicators. As shown in Table 1, some test data for different expanded section and straight section lengths are listed; the calculation formula for the overall error is:

[0066] ,

[0067] Where, is the overall error; is the relative error of overpressure; is the maximum relative error of overpressure; is the absolute time error; By comparing the experimental data, the optimized sizes of the expanded section 21 and the straight section 22 are set to 3 meters and 2 meters respectively.

[0068]

[0069] Table 1 Test data under different lengths of expansion section and straight section;

[0070] This embodiment designs optimized dimensions of the expanded section 21 and the straight section 22. The expanded section 21 meets the requirements of the test structure size, and at the same time can diffuse the shock wave, reduce the pressure fluctuation in the straight section 22, and improve the stability of the test results; the straight section 22 can make the explosion wave act more evenly on the structural section 23, and at the same time reduce the turbulence and eddy current in the straight section 22, thereby improving the accuracy of the test results.

[0071] Example 2:

[0072] This embodiment provides an explosion load simulation test system, comprising a gas supply device, an ignition device, a data acquisition device, and the explosion load simulation test device described in Example 1. Specifically, the gas supply device comprises a gas cylinder assembly and an explosion-proof high-pressure blower. The gas cylinder assembly can be connected to the through-hole corresponding to the inflatable section of the test pipe via a pressure reducing valve and an air inlet valve, respectively. The explosion-proof high-pressure blower can be connected to the second through-hole 152 of the test pipe via a blower duct. The ignition device comprises an initiator and an ignition head. The initiator is connected to the ignition head via an initiator cable, and the ignition head can be connected to the through-hole on the end cover plate at the end of the test pipe. The data acquisition device comprises a data acquisition instrument, an infrared gas analyzer, a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, and / or a high-speed camera. The infrared gas analyzer, pressure sensor, temperature sensor, and high-speed camera are all installed in the through-hole on the test pipe and connected to the data acquisition instrument via a cable to collect and record data in real time during the deflagration-driven process of the methane-air mixture. Among them, the infrared gas analyzer is used to measure the gas concentration in the test pipeline; the pressure sensor is used to measure the pressure during the deflagration driving process of the methane-air mixture gas; the temperature sensor is used to measure the temperature during the deflagration driving process of the methane-air mixture gas; and the high-speed camera is used to record the visual data during the deflagration driving process of the methane-air mixture gas.

[0073] The blast load simulation test system provided in this embodiment, through its integrated data acquisition device, can collect and record real-time pressure, temperature, and visualization data during the explosion process. This data can be used to analyze and evaluate test results, further understanding the impact mechanism of blast loads, and providing a scientific basis and more comprehensive data support for structural design and safety assessment.

[0074] Example 3:

[0075] This embodiment provides a method for blast load simulation testing, which mainly includes the following steps:

[0076] Step S1: Mix methane and air in a certain proportion through a gas cylinder assembly and inject the mixture into the gas filling section of the test pipe;

[0077] Step S2: When the gas concentration in the test pipe reaches a specified value as observed by the data acquisition instrument, the ignition head is detonated;

[0078] Step S3: The pressure, temperature and visual data of the methane-air mixture gas explosion driving process are collected and recorded in real time by means of a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor and a high-speed camera.

[0079] Specifically, before executing step S1, the following steps are also included:

[0080] By changing the shape and position of the barrier baffle 13, the flow state and the deflagration state of the methane-air mixture gas are adjusted;

[0081] By changing the position of the polyethylene film, the length of the gas cloud in the inflation section can be adjusted;

[0082] The enlarged section 21 meets the test structure size requirement, while also being able to diffuse shock waves, reduce pressure fluctuations in the straight section 22, and improve the stability of the test results;

[0083] The straight section 22 is used to shape the blast load, thereby improving the uniformity of the blast load distribution on the structural section 23;

[0084] The explosion load driven by the deflagration of the methane-air mixture is absorbed by the structural section 23 .

[0085] In this embodiment, by changing different parameters in the driving section 1, such as: adjusting the length of the gas cloud by changing the position of the polyethylene film, changing the shape and position of the obstacle partition 13, and changing the position and number of the explosion vents by placing the explosion vent pipe 12, and then forming a large and uniform explosion pressure load on the structural section 23 through the expansion section 21 and the straight section 22, precise control of the load on the loading surface of the structural section 23 is achieved. By simulating explosion loads of different forms (different peak sizes and durations, etc.), the safety, economy and accuracy of the explosion test are effectively improved.

[0086] Furthermore, in step S1, methane and air can be mixed in a certain proportion to change the concentration of the gas injected into the aeration section of the test pipe. The gas concentration in the test pipe is measured using an infrared gas analyzer, and the explosion-proof high-pressure blower is simultaneously turned on to thoroughly mix the mixed gas in the pipe so that the concentration is uniform throughout the pipe. In step S2, when the gas concentration in the test pipe reaches a specified value (i.e., between 5% and 15%) as observed by the data acquisition instrument, the explosion-proof high-pressure blower can be turned off, and the ignition head can be detonated after the airflow stops and the test pipe is left to stand for 30 seconds.

[0087] The explosion load simulation test method provided in this embodiment needs to flexibly adjust parameters such as gas concentration, gas cloud length, shape and position of obstacle partitions, number and position of explosion vents according to actual working conditions to meet the load requirements of different tests. It can improve the test efficiency of disciplines such as explosion mechanics, engineering protection, safety science and engineering, etc.

[0088] In order to verify the explosion load simulation test method provided in this embodiment, this embodiment carried out loading experiments with different loads and loading experiments with repeated loads. Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the loading experiments with different loads used three gas cloud lengths of 2 meters, 3 meters, and 6 meters as control variables, resulting in explosion loads with peak overpressures of 70kPa, 158kPa, and 230kPa, respectively. The experimental results show that the explosion load simulation test device can effectively control the load of the explosion shock wave by changing the length of the precursor gas cloud, verifying the load control capability of the device. In addition, the device's gas concentration, the shape and position of the barrier baffle, the number and position of the explosion vents, and other parameters can all be adjusted. This multi-parameter adjustable experimental platform provides controllable experimental conditions for dynamic load simulation of engineering protective structures, verifying the device's engineering applicability and parameter controllability in explosion load simulation.

[0089] Further, such as Figure 8As shown, the repetitive load loading experiment employed two independent tests under identical initial conditions. The resulting explosion shock wave curves were highly consistent, with a relative deviation of less than 1% in peak overpressure. Furthermore, the time-domain waveforms exhibited significant statistical consistency (correlation coefficient R² ≥ 0.99) in parameters such as the rate of rise and the duration of the pressure plateau. These experimental results demonstrate that the stability of the device's load output can be verified through repetitive testing under the same operating conditions, facilitating the engineering requirements for reproducing explosion loads and providing a deterministic and repeatable experimental basis for quantitative research on explosive dynamic responses.

[0090] The embodiment of the present invention adopts a relatively safe methane-air mixture as the explosion source, replacing the highly dangerous, expensive and short-lasting explosion source; and then forms a large and uniform explosion pressure load acting on the structural section by setting a basic pipeline, an explosion relief pipeline, an obstacle baffle, an expansion section and a straight section. Among them, the test pipeline section including the basic pipeline and the explosion relief pipeline combines various parameter designs, which can simulate various complex gas dynamic conditions in the explosion environment, and provide more accurate test data for studying the impact of explosion loads on the structure. The obstacle baffle can change the gas dynamic state and regulate the deflagration effect. By changing the geometric parameters of the obstacle baffle, the gas dynamic flow field morphology and flow velocity field characteristics can be actively modulated, thereby significantly affecting the spatial distribution characteristics of the explosion shock wave load and its peak pressure parameters. The expansion angle of the expansion section is consistent with the tail expansion angle of the basic pipeline, which can optimize the aerodynamic performance. The straight section can make the explosion wave act more evenly on the structural section.
