[0050] The specific operation process of the integrated device provided by the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0051] After the assembly of the core sample is completed, the assembled core assembly 12 is placed in the high-pressure chamber 11, and silicon oil is filled into the high-pressure chamber 11, so that the inside of the high-pressure chamber 11 is in a high-pressure state, so as to simulate the state of the rock sample 123 under the ground pressure.

[0052] Then, the cyclic storage and release experiment of the rock sample 123 is carried out by using the cyclic storage and release control module 4. The first valve 41 and the third valve 51 are opened, and the fourth valve 52, the fifth valve 56 and the sixth valve 57 are closed, so that the gas source regulation and control module 2 inputs high-pressure hydrogen into the upper end of the rock sample 123 until the pressure value at the upper end of the rock sample 123 reaches the first predetermined pressure value, the first valve 41 is closed, and the second valve 42 is opened, at this time, the pressure value at the upper end of the rock sample 123 will decrease, after the pressure value decreases to the second predetermined pressure value, the first valve 41 is opened again and the second valve 42 is closed, and the above process is repeated, and the controller 43 is used to complete the control of the opening and closing of the first valve 41 and the second valve 42, so that the cyclic storage and release experiment of the rock sample 123 can be completed.

[0053] Next, the permeability test module 5 is used to conduct a permeability test experiment on rock sample 123. In this experiment, the first valve 41 is kept open and the second valve 42 is closed; then the third valve 51 and the fourth valve 52 are opened, and the fifth valve 56 and the sixth valve 57 are closed. At this time, the gas source control module 2 will simultaneously input high-pressure hydrogen to both ends of rock sample 123. After the pressure value at both ends of rock sample 123 reaches the preset value, the third valve 51, the fourth valve 52, and the fifth valve 56 are closed, and the sixth valve 57 is opened until the pressure difference at both ends of rock sample 123 reaches the preset pressure difference value. Then the sixth valve 57 is closed, and the pressure difference change is recorded using the first pressure gauge 53, the second pressure gauge 54, and the acquisition unit 55. Afterwards, the rock permeability of rock sample 123 can be calculated using the pulse attenuation method permeability formula, thus completing the permeability test experiment of rock sample 123. In this embodiment, the preset value can be 1 MPa, and the preset pressure difference value can be 200 kPa.

[0054] Thus, the integrated device for simulating hydrogen storage and release in in-situ salt caverns and testing permeability provided in this application embodiment can simulate the actual process of storing and releasing hydrogen into underground salt caverns by repeatedly injecting gas into the rock sample 123; the pulse attenuation method can be used to efficiently and accurately measure the permeability of the rock sample 123; this application combines the simulation experiment of hydrogen storage and release with the permeability test into one, enabling real-time monitoring of the development of internal damage in the sample under high-frequency cyclic storage and release, and providing a reference for determining a reasonable working pressure range and circulation frequency for the operation of the on-site hydrogen storage facility.

[0055] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in an optional embodiment, this application also provides an integrated device for simulating hydrogen storage and release in situ salt caverns and permeability testing. In this integrated device, an opening 1231 is provided on the rock sample 123 along the axial direction.

[0056] Specifically, the rock sample 123 is cylindrical, with an opening 1231 at its top. The opening 1231 is located at the center of the rock sample 123 and extends along its circumference, without penetrating the rock sample 123. Simultaneously, a boss 124 is provided on the upper pressure head 121, extending into the opening 1231. The shape of the boss 124 matches the shape of the opening 1231, and a third airflow channel 1241 communicating with the first airflow channel 1211 is provided within the boss 124.

[0057] In this way, when hydrogen is injected into the rock sample 123 through the first gas flow channel 1211, the hydrogen can enter the interior of the rock sample 123 through the third gas flow channel 1241, so that the hydrogen can act on the entire rock sample 123 from the interior of the rock sample 123, thereby better simulating the effect of hydrogen on the performance degradation of the rock sample 123, and better reflecting the process of hydrogen storage and release in the salt cavern.

[0058] With reference to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 In an embodiment, a sealing gasket 125 is arranged between the upper pressure head 121 and the rock sample 123, and the sealing gasket 125 is provided with a through hole 1251 through which the boss 124 passes, and the through hole 1251 can be divided into a first part and a second part along the axial direction, wherein the first part is close to the upper pressure head 121, and the second part is close to the rock sample 123, and the inner diameter of the first part is greater than the inner diameter of the second part, so that a placement step 1252 is formed in the through hole, and a first sealing ring 126 is arranged on the placement step 1252. The inner diameter of the first sealing ring 126 is matched with the outer diameter of the boss 124, and the height of the first sealing ring 126 is higher than the height of the placement step 1252; in this way, when the upper pressure head 121 is assembled with the rock sample 123, it can be ensured that the first sealing ring 126 is in close contact with the upper pressure head 121, thereby ensuring the sealing between the upper pressure head 121 and the rock sample 123. In the embodiment of the present application, the sealing gasket 125 can be made of metal material, for example, 304 stainless steel or 316L stainless steel, and the sealing gasket 125 and the rock sample 123 can be bonded by an adhesive layer. At the same time, the sealing gasket 125 needs to be mechanically polished to ensure that the roughness is less than 0.8.

[0059] With reference to Figure 3 In an embodiment, the side surface of the upper pressure head 121 away from the rock sample 123 is arranged in a circular arc shape, so that the upper pressure head 121 can better fit the output end of the axial load controller 13, and ensure that the direction of the axial load is completely vertical. At the same time, the upper pressure head 121 as a whole is subjected to a conditioning process to ensure that the strength is greater than or equal to HRC50. And the side surface of the upper pressure head 121 close to the rock sample 123 is subjected to a polishing process, and the roughness is less than 0.8.

The deformation sensor can be used to monitor the deformation degree of the upper press head 121 and the lower press head 122, so as to avoid excessive deformation of the upper press head 121 and the lower press head 122.

[0061] With reference to Figure 2 As shown, in an embodiment, the rock sample 123 is wrapped with a pipe body 127, both ends of the pipe body 127 extend to the outside of the upper press head 121 and the lower press head 122, and a second sealing ring 128 is arranged on the upper press head 121 and the lower press head 122, the second sealing ring 128 is sleeved on the end of the pipe body 127, so as to tightly connect the end of the pipe body 127 with the upper press head 121 / lower press head 122, and ensure the sealing of the inside of the pipe body 127. In the embodiment of the present application, the pipe body 127 is selected as a Teflon heat shrink tube, and after the rock sample 123 is assembled with the upper press head 121 and the lower press head 122, the rock sample 123 is plastic-wrapped by the pipe body 127 to isolate the external confining pressure (oil) environment. Then the core assembly 12 can be loaded into the high-pressure chamber 11, and silicon oil is injected into the high-pressure chamber 11 to increase the pressure.

[0062] With reference to Figure 1 As shown, in an embodiment, the cycle storage and release module further comprises a seventh valve 47 and an eighth valve 48.

[0064] With reference to Figure 1 As shown, in an embodiment, the gas source regulation module 2 further comprises a gas booster pump 22 and an air compressor 23.

[0065] Specifically, the output end of the gas booster pump 22 is communicated with the air inlet pipeline 30, and the air compressor 23 is connected with the input end of the gas booster pump 22; when the pressure of the gas source 21 cannot reach the requirement of the cyclic storage and release, the air compressor 23 can be used to provide the gas booster pump 22 with a gas pressure not less than 1 MPa, so as to increase the hydrogen pressure in the air inlet pipeline 30 to the required value.
