Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of testing, and in particular to a freezing simulation system based on the coupling effect of temperature field and seepage field. Background Technology

[0002] With the accelerating pace of urbanization in my country, urban subway tunnel projects are increasing, and subway connecting passages constructed using the freezing method are becoming more common. However, the increasingly complex distribution of underground structures and pipelines places higher demands on construction. Among these challenges, excessively high groundwater flow velocity is one of the main difficulties faced by artificial ground freezing methods—groundwater continuously carries away cold energy, leading to slow development and difficulty in closing the frozen wall, and even failing to achieve the designed thickness and strength, seriously affecting construction safety and effectiveness. Given the limitations of traditional brine freezing technology in handling high-velocity groundwater, it is necessary to design and build an indoor experimental device to systematically study the coupling mechanism of the seepage field and temperature field. This device will simulate and verify the influence of key parameters such as different groundwater seepage velocities and different refrigerant temperatures on the formation and development of the frozen wall, especially the development of the frozen wall under the combined action of the seepage field and temperature field. This will provide theoretical basis and data support for optimizing freezing schemes and ensuring project safety.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment of the present invention, a freezing simulation system based on the coupling effect of temperature field and seepage field includes an experimental chamber 1, a clean water circulation system, a refrigerant circulation system and a monitoring system. The experimental chamber 1 has a central cavity 101 for filling sand 3. The experimental chamber 1 has a left water storage cavity 102 and a right water storage cavity 103 on both sides of the central cavity 101. The left water storage cavity 102 and the right water storage cavity 103 are connected to the central cavity 101 through seepage holes 104 evenly distributed on the inner wall of the central cavity 101. Geotextile 2 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the central cavity 101. Geotextile 2 is used to cover the seepage holes 104 to prevent sand 3 from flowing out. Please see Figure 1 The clean water circulation system includes a water pipe 4 connecting the left water storage chamber 102 and the right water storage chamber 103. A water circulation pump 5, a clean water tank 6, a temperature sensor 7 and a flow sensor 8 are connected in series on the water pipe 4. Specifically, the water circulation pump 5 injects the clean water in the clean water tank 6 into the left water storage chamber 102 through the water pipe 4. Then, the clean water enters the central chamber 101 through the seepage hole 104. After flowing through the sand material 3 in the central chamber 101, it is discharged from the right water storage chamber 103. The water discharged into the right water storage chamber 103 flows back to the clean water tank 6 through the water pipe 4, realizing the circulation of water flow to simulate the groundwater seepage condition. The temperature sensor 7 is used to monitor the temperature of the clean water, and the flow sensor 8 is used to monitor the flow rate of the clean water. Please see Figure 1The refrigerant circulation system includes multiple evenly distributed freezing pipes 9 inserted into the sand 3. The freezing pipes 9 adopt a double-layer sleeve structure. The freezing pipes 9 are connected in series with the refrigerant circulation pump 11 and the refrigerant tank 12 through the refrigerant pipe 10. Temperature sensor 2 13 and flow sensor 2 14 are also connected in series on the refrigerant pipe 10. Specifically, the refrigerant circulation pump 11 causes the refrigerant to circulate between the freezing pipe 9 and the refrigerant tank 12. The refrigerant circulation pump 11 is used to control the refrigerant flow rate, the refrigerant tank 12 is used to control the temperature of the refrigerant, the temperature sensor 13 is used to monitor the temperature of the flowing refrigerant, and the flow sensor 14 is used to monitor the flow rate of the flowing refrigerant. Please see Figure 1 The monitoring system includes multiple evenly distributed probe tubes 16 set on the outside of the freezing pipe 9. Multiple vertically equidistant infrared temperature sensors 24 and multiple vertically equidistant pressure sensors 28 are fixedly connected to the probe tubes 16. The multiple infrared temperature sensors 24 are used to monitor the temperature of sand layers at different depths, and the multiple pressure sensors 28 are used to monitor the frost heave pressure of sand layers at different depths. A multi-point displacement meter 17 is set on the outside of the probe tubes 16. The multi-point displacement meter 17 is used to monitor the amount of frost heave deformation of the sand.

[0023] Specifically, during the freezing simulation experiment, the flow rate of clean water through the sand 3 is adjusted using a water circulation pump 5 and a flow sensor 8. At the same time, the temperature and flow rate of the refrigerant in the freezing pipe 9 are adjusted by controlling the refrigerant circulation pump 11 and the refrigerant tank 12. This simulates the development of the frozen wall in the sand 3 under different groundwater flow rates, different refrigerant flow rates, and temperatures. The development of the frozen wall is monitored by a multi-point displacement meter 17, a uniformly distributed infrared temperature sensor 24, and a pressure sensor 28. The calculation of the frozen wall thickness by the temperature and frost heave pressure inside the frozen wall is existing technology and will not be described further in this application.

[0024] Compared to traditional freezing simulation experimental devices, this invention features a clean water circulation system and an experimental chamber 1, which allows clean water to flow through sand material 3 at different flow rates, thereby simulating seepage fields at different flow rates. Through a refrigerant circulation system, refrigerants at different temperatures flow through freezing pipes 9, thereby simulating temperature fields at different temperatures. This facilitates the investigation of the influence of the coupling effect of seepage field and temperature field on the development of the frozen wall during the freezing process.

[0025] In this embodiment, the experimental box 1 is made of steel plate material, the central cavity 101 is a rectangular box structure with an opening at the top, and the sand material 3 is coarse sand with a porosity of 30%.

[0026] Specifically, sand material 3 is used to simulate underground soil layers.

[0027] In this embodiment, a heat exchange coil is installed inside the refrigerant tank 12, and the heat exchange coil is connected to an external refrigeration device. The refrigerant tank 12 is filled with alcohol, and the heat exchange coil is filled with liquid nitrogen.

[0028] Specifically, the refrigerant box 12 adopts a secondary refrigeration temperature control method, which uses liquid nitrogen in the heat exchange coil to cool the alcohol in the refrigerant box 12, and then allows the cooled alcohol to flow into the freezing pipe 9 through the refrigerant pipe 10 for freezing. Through the secondary refrigeration temperature control method, the temperature of the refrigerant participating in the freezing is precisely controlled.

[0029] In this embodiment, a heating rod and a thermocouple are fixedly connected inside the clean water tank 6. The clean water tank 6 is filled with clean water. The heating rod and the thermocouple work together to regulate the temperature of the clean water, simulating groundwater at different temperatures.

[0030] In another embodiment of the invention, please refer to Figure 2-8 The detection tube 16 includes a cylinder 18, and a temperature detection assembly is installed inside the cylinder 18. The temperature detection assembly includes a mounting rod 21 that is inserted and fixed to the cylinder 18. Multiple sliding frames 22 are slidably connected to the mounting rod 21. The sliding frames 22 are threadedly connected to the mounting rod 21 by positioning bolts 23. Multiple linearly equidistant bolt holes are opened on the sliding frames 22. An infrared temperature sensor 24 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sliding frame 22 facing the inner wall of the cylinder 18. A detection hole 1801 corresponding to each bolt hole is opened on the side wall of the cylinder 18. A glass plate 20 is fixedly connected inside the detection hole 1801. The emitting end of the infrared temperature sensor 24 is positioned opposite to the glass plate 20.

[0031] Specifically, by adjusting the position of the sliding frame 22 on the mounting rod 21, the installation height of the infrared temperature sensor 24 can be adjusted to meet the detection requirements of the temperature of sand layers at different depths. This replaces the traditional pre-embedded temperature sensor, improves the flexibility of the temperature detector layout, and allows for quick replacement when the infrared temperature sensor 24 is damaged.

[0032] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The cylinder 18 is also equipped with a pressure detection assembly, which includes a mounting rod 25 that is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cylinder 18. Multiple sliding frames 26 are slidably connected to the mounting rod 25. The sliding frames 26 are threadedly connected to the mounting rod 25 via a threaded rod 27. Multiple linearly equidistant bolt holes 2 are provided on the mounting rod 25. A sliding groove 1803 is provided on the outer wall of the cylinder 18. A pressing block 29 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 1803. A pressure sensor 28 is abutted against the inner wall of the pressing block 29. The pressure sensor 28 is fixedly connected to the sliding frame 26.

[0033] Specifically, by adjusting the height of the sliding frame 26, the installation depth of the pressure sensor 28 can be adjusted to meet the detection of frost heave pressure in sandy soil layers at different depths. At the same time, it is convenient to disassemble and replace the pressure sensor 28.

[0034] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The extrusion block 29 includes an arc-shaped block 30 that is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 1803. A connecting rod 31 that slides through the shell wall of the cylinder 18 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the arc-shaped block 30. A fan-shaped block 32 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting rod 31. The detection end of the pressure sensor 28 has a hemispherical structure.

[0035] Specifically, when localized frost heave occurs in the sand material 3, the arc-shaped block 30 is squeezed, and the arc-shaped block 30 squeezes the fan-shaped block 32 through the connecting rod 31. The fan-shaped block 32 squeezes the detection end of the pressure sensor 28 to realize the detection of frost heave pressure.

[0036] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 8 The outer end of the arc-shaped block 30 is provided with an arc-shaped surface, which is equal to the curvature of the outer wall of the cylinder 18. The connecting rod 31 is a round rod structure. The curvature of the fan-shaped block 32 is equal to the curvature of the inner cavity of the cylinder 18. The threaded rod 27 and the pressure sensor 28 are located on opposite sides of the sliding frame 26. The end of the threaded rod 27 away from the sliding frame 26 is a hemispherical structure. The threaded rod 27 is configured to cooperate with the fan-shaped block 32. When the mounting rod 25 is rotated so that the end of the threaded rod 27 abuts against the inner wall of the fan-shaped block 32, the outer arc-shaped surface of the arc-shaped block 30 and the outer wall of the cylinder 18 are in the same curved surface.

[0037] Specifically, during the installation of the cylinder 18, the threaded rod 27 abuts against the sector block 32, making the surface of the cylinder 18 flat and facilitating the installation of the probe tube 16.

[0038] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 A drill bit 19 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the cylinder 18, and a cylinder cover 33 is threadedly connected to the upper end of the cylinder 18. Mounting rod 1 21 is a square rod that passes through the cylinder cover 33 and is slidably connected to it. Mounting rod 25 passes through the cylinder cover 33 and is rotatably connected to it. A rotating shaft 2501 is fixedly connected to the lower end of mounting rod 25. A rotating groove 1804 for rotating shaft 2501 is opened on the bottom wall of the cylinder 18, and a snap-fit ​​groove 1802 for mounting rod 1 21 to be inserted is opened on the bottom wall of the cylinder 18.

[0039] Specifically, when disassembling and assembling the temperature detection component and the pressure detection component, the cylinder cover 33 is screwed on to facilitate disassembly and installation. When installing the cylinder 18, a drilling machine is used to drive the cylinder 18 to rotate, and the drill bit 19 at the lower end of the cylinder 18 causes the cylinder 18 to drill vertically downward, improving the verticality of the cylinder 18 installation.

[0040] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 Mounting rod 25 is a square rod, and mounting rod 25 is fitted with a chuck 34 that abuts against the cylinder cover 33. The chuck 34 is fixedly connected to the cylinder cover 33 by locking bolts 35.

[0041] Specifically, the mounting rod 25 is locked by the chuck 34 and the locking bolt 35 to improve the stability of the pressure sensor 28 installation.

[0042] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The upper end of the experimental chamber 1 is fixedly connected to a perforated plate 15, which has evenly distributed mounting holes. Mounting rings are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the freezing tube 9, the probe tube 16, and the multi-point displacement meter 17. The diameter of the mounting rings is larger than the diameter of the mounting holes. The mounting rings are fixedly connected to the perforated plate 15 by bolts.

[0043] Specifically, the perforated plate 15 is used to position and fix the freezing tube 9, the detection tube 16 and the multi-point displacement meter 17, which facilitates the assembly and construction of the simulation system.

[0044] Compared to traditional freezing simulation experimental systems, this invention uses mounting rod 21 and sliding frame 22 to adjust the installation depth of the infrared temperature sensor 24, facilitating its disassembly and replacement. Mounting rod 25 and sliding frame 26 are used to adjust the installation depth of the pressure sensor 28, also facilitating its disassembly and replacement. Furthermore, the drill bit 19 at the lower end of the cylinder 18 and the cylinder cover 33 at the upper end of the cylinder 18 allow for adjustment of the overall immersion depth of the probe tube 16, meeting the needs for rapid placement and adjustment of temperature and pressure sensors. This replaces the traditional layered pre-embedded sensor installation method, improving experimental efficiency.
