DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The technical solutions in the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the present application, and in addition, the forms of each structure described in the following embodiments are only examples, and the rock mechanics testing machine involved in the present application is not limited to each structure described in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 And Figure 2 The present application provides a rock mechanics testing machine, which comprises an upper assembly 1, a lower assembly 2 and a horizontal end cover 3. The upper assembly 1 comprises an upper shell 101, and a storage groove 102 is formed on the outer side of the upper shell 101. A storage box 4 is installed in the storage groove 102 through a clamping groove. The horizontal end cover 3 is installed on the threaded groove 103 through a threaded connection. An upper pressing rod 9 is installed at the center of the inside of the upper assembly 1. The inside of the upper pressing rod 9 contains a pressure detection unit, which collects pressure information. An upper pressing touch ball 10 is installed at the bottom of the upper pressing rod 9. A sputtering baffle 15 is installed on the inside of the upper assembly 1. An air inlet 104 is formed on the top outer side of the sputtering baffle 15. The lower assembly 2 is fixedly connected with a bottom support frame 7. The sample cabin 6 is installed on the bottom support frame 7 through a clamping connection. A photoelectric detector 11, a monochromatic light source 12 and a photosensitive plate 13 are installed at the bottom of the sample cabin 6 in the inside of the bottom support frame 7. A processing groove is formed on the outer side of the bottom support frame 7. An air filter screen 8 is installed in the processing groove. A plurality of air pumps 14 are installed at the bottom of the air filter screen 8 at the air outlet 202. In this embodiment, it is necessary to specifically point out that the lower assembly 2 is provided with a touch screen 5. The user adjusts and operates the detection information through the touch screen 5.

[0029] The main difference between the embodiment and the prior art is that the portable rock analyzer integrating mechanics and optical detection and the sample archiving method are used in the embodiment to realize on-site rapid mechanical testing, component optical screening of rock samples, and physical archiving of the samples after testing, forming a complete data-sample chain, and specifically, the sample cabin 6; The above structure is the main structure of the embodiment, which solves the problems that current on-site detection in the field environment is difficult and it is difficult to keep the sample, and the upper pressing rod 9 and the air pump 14 are existing structures. The specific structure and connection mode of the upper pressing rod 9 and the air pump 14 are not described in detail in the embodiment.

[0030] Referring to Figure 2 The storage box 4 is composed of multiple sample boxes 401 and sample grooves 402, and multiple groups of storage boxes 4 constitute different storage functions, including storage of samples, storage of sample cabins 6 to be processed, storage of end covers, and storage of clean sample cabins 6.

[0031] In the embodiment, it needs to be specifically explained that the air filter screen 8 is installed on the top of the air pump 14, the air pump 14 is used for dust removal of the internal environment, and filter screens are installed inside the air inlet 104 and the air outlet 202. Under the action of the air pump 14, the gas enters from the air inlet 104 and is discharged from the air outlet 202, and the internal gas is filtered by the air filter screen 8 to achieve dust removal. The air filter screen 8 not only has a dust collection effect during internal dust removal, but also has a collection effect on the splashing fragments after rock breaking. The splashing fragments hit the splashing baffle 15 and finally fall on the air filter screen 8. The filtering effect is stable by replacing the air filter screen 8 at a time.

[0032] Referring to Figure 3 The sample cabin 6 is composed of a metal outer ring 601 and a glass ball groove 603, the outer side of the metal outer ring 601 is provided with an outer ring inclined groove 602 for clamping and fixing, the glass ball groove 603 is made of sapphire glass, has high light transmittance and high pressure resistance, and meets the repeated use requirement in use.

[0033] In the embodiment, it needs to be specifically explained that the sample cabin 6 also needs to install an end cover on the polyimide film when storing samples. The installation method of the end cover is the same as the fixing method of the bottom support frame 7. The sample after installing the end cover is placed in the sample groove 402 for further research in the laboratory.

[0034] Referring to Figure 3The bottom of the upper pressure contact ball 10 is covered with a pre-tensioned polyimide film, which is a disposable consumable. In use, the rock is crushed and broken into an arc shape that tightly adheres to the inner surface of the glass ball groove 603. The tension force carried by the rock during compression will adhere to the polyimide film, causing the polyimide film to fall off the upper pressure contact ball 10 and form an integral part of the rock sample.

[0035] In this embodiment, it needs to be specifically pointed out that the golden yellow base color of the polyimide film can filter out a part of stray short-wave blue-violet light in actual use. These lights are easy to produce noise in multiple scattering. This may make the signal-to-noise ratio in the red and near-infrared waveband higher, and the near-infrared waveband is crucial for distinguishing water-containing minerals (such as clay).

[0036] It needs to be added that: in the construction of the spectral database for comparison in the laboratory, all standard rock samples are measured using the same detection cabin with polyimide film. In this way, the "standard spectrum" in the database and the "unknown sample spectrum" measured in the field are obtained under the same system conditions. When performing pattern matching, the filtering effect of the PI film is simultaneously canceled in the numerator and denominator, and the matching result is still accurate. This process is equivalent to calibrating the entire system (light source + PI film + detector) as a complete "black box" sensor.

[0037] With reference to Figure 3 , the photoelectric detector 11, the monochromatic light source 12 and the photosensitive plate 13 form a multi-spectral optical detection module, which includes a plurality of monochromatic light sources 12 and photoelectric detectors 11 of different wavelengths. The wavelengths of the monochromatic light sources 12 include at least blue light, red light and near-infrared light wavebands (typical wavelengths such as: blue light 450nm, red light 650nm, near-infrared 850nm).

[0038] With reference to Figures 4-5 , the bottom support frame 7 includes a support main frame 701, two positioning rings 702 are fixedly connected to the top of the support main frame 701, a taking and placing groove 703 is formed between the positioning rings 702, and a fixed pin 704 is installed on the positioning ring 702. The sample cabin 6 is fixed on the positioning ring 702 in a rotating clamping manner and is locked by the fixed pin 704.

[0039] In this embodiment, it needs to be specifically pointed out that the support main frame 701 is internally provided with a light passing hole 705, and the multi-spectral optical detection module is installed at the bottom of the light passing hole 705.

[0040] With reference to Figure 6The horizontal end cover 3 is composed of an end cover body 301 and a spherical level 302, the spherical level 302 contains a horizontal liquid and a mark line in the inside, a user finds a relatively horizontal surface in the wild through the spherical level 302, the end cover body 301 is screwed into the threaded groove 103 through a threaded sleeve 303 at the bottom, anti-skid lines are arranged on the outside of the end cover body 301, and a user rotates and tightens or opens the horizontal end cover 3 through the anti-skid lines.

[0041] In the embodiment, it needs to be particularly pointed out that the horizontal end cover 3 is used for leveling the device and protecting the touch screen 5 when in use, so that the touch screen 5 is not scratched by unknown objects when being carried, and the use experience is affected.

[0042] Referring to Figure 7 and Figure 9 A rock mechanics testing machine control logic method, the specific steps are as follows: S1: A user manually inputs a sample approximate diameter De, the system is powered on for self-checking, whether the sputtering baffle 15 is closed in a normal state is checked, whether the upper pressure contact ball 10 has a contact force after reaching a falling threshold is checked, and an alarm is given and a return is performed when an exception occurs; S2: If there is no exception, a test state is entered, a zero position S0 is recorded, displacement control is switched to constant speed falling, pressure is continuously increased, load quantity is recorded, and a real-time F-S curve is recorded, reflecting a real-time relationship between force and displacement; S3: After reaching a stop position, peak value information Fmax is recorded, a UCS is calculated by calling a parameter analysis logic, wherein UCS=K·I, I=Fmax / De, I is a load intensity index, and K and K' are conversion coefficients, which are empirical values under different models. For most rocks, the K value is between 20-25, and there is a difference due to different lithology (the ISRM recommended value from an industry standard). The built-in database stores K value ranges corresponding to different lithology (such as granite, limestone, and sandstone); S4: The device is safely returned, and is lifted to the original point, and a user selects to keep or discard data results.

[0043] Referring to Figure 8 A rock mechanics field analysis and sample collection method, the specific steps are as follows: S1: After the ground is leveled by the spherical level 302, the sample cabin 6 is installed on the bottom support frame 7, is fixed on the positioning ring 702 in a rotating clamping mode, is locked by the fixed pin 704, and a rock sample is placed on the reusable sample cabin 6, and the upper assembly 1 is closed; S2: The testing machine is started, and the main machine starts an automatic process, performs internal dust removal, and performs mechanical loading and optical detection; S3: The testing machine outputs comprehensive analysis results of mechanics and optics; S4: open the upper assembly 1, the user according to the experimental results independently judge whether the sample has the value of archiving, choose to seal archiving or clean recycling.

[0044] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
