Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pumping test calculation technology, and in particular to a pumping device and a method for calculating the permeability coefficient. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, conventional pumping tests mostly employ the full-bore pumping method, which involves directly installing pumping equipment in the borehole to pump water, and calculating the aquifer's permeability coefficient by observing water level changes and pumping rates. Common theoretical calculation formulas include the Theis formula and the Jacob formula, etc. These formulas are based on the assumption of homogeneous aquifers and do not fully consider the effects of cross-layer seepage between multiple aquifers.
[0003] In traditional pumping tests, the pumping equipment is placed in the target aquifer. During pumping, due to hydraulic connection, the water level of the upper aquifer also drops, resulting in the observation data including cross-flow effects. However, existing calculation formulas do not effectively separate this effect, leading to significant deviations in the calculated permeability coefficient. This causes the following problems: 1) Existing formulas do not fully consider cross-flow, resulting in inaccurate permeability coefficient calculations, affecting engineering design and safety assessments; 2) The drop in the water level of the upper aquifer during pumping may cause large-scale ground subsidence, degradation of surface vegetation, and other environmental problems; 3) Full-hole pumping cannot achieve large drawdown pumping for a specific aquifer, making it difficult to simulate actual engineering conditions (such as deep dewatering after foundation pit excavation).

[0025] Currently, conventional pumping tests in existing technologies mostly employ the full-bore pumping method. Common theoretical calculation formulas (such as the Theis formula and the Jacob formula) do not fully consider the effects of cross-layer seepage between multiple aquifers.

The length of the second piezometer data line 26 can be determined.
[0036] Following the previous example, with Figure 2 For example, the flow meter 27 is connected to the terminal device 5 via the flow meter data line 28, and can be used to: record the flow rate of the water outlet pipe 8 (the flow rate is denoted as Q), and transmit the flow rate data recorded by the flow meter 27 to the terminal device 5 via the flow meter data line 28.
[0037] As one possible implementation method, see Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the outlet pipe 8 may include a first pipe section 81, a second pipe section, a third pipe section, a fourth pipe section, and a fifth pipe section 82 arranged sequentially from bottom to top; the pumping control system 200 also includes a one-way valve 7; the lower end of the first pipe section 81 is connected to the outlet end of the variable frequency water pump 6 through the one-way valve 7, the upper end of the first pipe section 81 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the second pipe section, the upper end of the second pipe section is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting pipe, the upper end of the third pipe section is fixedly connected to the lower end of the fourth pipe section, the upper end of the fourth pipe section is fixedly connected to the lower end of the fifth pipe section 82, and the fifth pipe section 82 extends from its lower end to the ground; the lower part of the lower conversion chamber 14 is fitted around the outer periphery of the second pipe section; the third pipe section passes through the upper packer 1 and the sealing device 17; the third pipe section uses a connecting pipe; the upper part of the upper conversion chamber 19 is fitted around the outer periphery of the fourth pipe section.
[0038] Following the previous example, with Figure 2 For example, the outlet pipe 8 may have a section located underground (i.e., the first pipe section 81) and another section connected to the ground (i.e., the fifth pipe section 82). The flow meter 27 may be installed on the part of the fifth pipe section 82 that is located above ground. The first pipe section 81 is used to connect the one-way valve 7 to the outlet end of the variable frequency water pump 6, and the fifth pipe section 82 is used to extend from its lower end to the ground and connect to the flow meter 27. The one-way valve 7 is installed between the variable frequency water pump 6 and the first pipe section 81, and only allows the water to flow upward in one direction.
[0039] As one possible implementation method, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second pipe section can use a lower threaded rod 12, the connecting pipe can use an aluminum-plastic pipe 16, and the fourth pipe section can use an upper threaded rod 21. Based on this, the sealing device 17 can also include a lower inner connector 11, a lower threaded rod 12, a lower core connector 13, a lower adapter 15, an upper adapter 18, an upper threaded rod 21, an upper core connector 20, and an upper inner connector 22. The upper end of the first pipe section is fixedly connected to the lower end of the lower threaded rod 12 through the lower inner connector 11, and the upper end of the lower threaded rod 12 is connected to the lower adapter 18 through the lower adapter 19. 5 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the aluminum-plastic pipe 16; the upper end of the aluminum-plastic pipe 16 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the upper threaded rod 21 through the upper adapter 18, and the upper end of the upper threaded rod 21 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the fifth pipe section through the upper inner connector 22; the lower core connector 13 is fixedly installed in the lower part of the lower conversion chamber 14, and the lower core connector 13 is movably sleeved on the outer circumference of the lower threaded rod 12; the upper core connector 20 is fixedly installed in the upper part of the upper conversion chamber 19, and the upper core connector 20 is movably sleeved on the outer circumference of the upper threaded rod 21.
[0040] Following the previous example, with Figure 2For example, the lower inner connector 11 can be used to connect the first pipe section 81 and the lower threaded rod 12; the lower threaded rod 12 can be used to connect the first pipe section 81 and the aluminum-plastic pipe 16, and is used to install and fix the lower core connector 13 (so that the lower core connector 13 can be screwed into the predetermined position); the lower core connector 13 can be used to fix the relative position of the lower threaded rod 12 and the lower conversion chamber 14. After the lower adapter 15 is installed, the lower core connector 13 is screwed into the lower part of the lower threaded rod 12, and finally screwed into the lower part of the lower conversion chamber 14.
[0041] Following the previous example, with Figure 2 For example, the lower conversion chamber 14 is installed at the lower part of the lower packer 2 and can be used to connect and fix the upper packer 1 and the lower screw 12. The lower conversion chamber 14 can be hollow and open on one side to facilitate the installation of the lower adapter 15 and the passage of related lines (such as the second piezometer data line 26 and the power output line 9 for connecting the terminal equipment 5 and the variable frequency water pump 6).
[0042] Following the previous example, with Figure 2 For example, the lower adapter 15 can be used to connect the aluminum-plastic pipe 16 and the lower screw 12; the aluminum-plastic pipe 16, as part of the water outlet pipe 8, is installed from the lower conversion chamber 14 to the upper conversion chamber 19 and is fixed by the sealing device 17; since the aluminum-plastic pipe 16 has a certain strength and can be appropriately deformed, it is very suitable for use in pumping devices; the main function of the aluminum-plastic pipe 16 is to pass water, and it needs to be tightly bonded to the surrounding sealant when passing through the sealing device 17. After exiting the sealing device 17, it also needs to have a certain deformation and bending function to ensure that the upper screw 21 and the lower screw 12 can be centered.
[0043] Following the previous example, with Figure 2 For example, the upper adapter 18 can be used to connect the aluminum-plastic pipe 16 and the upper screw 21; the upper conversion chamber 19 is installed on the upper part of the sealing device 17 and can be used to connect the fixed sealing device 17 and the upper screw 21; the upper conversion chamber 19 can adopt a hollow structure and have an opening on one side to facilitate the installation of the upper adapter 18 and the passage of related lines (such as the second piezometer data line 26 and the power output line 9 for connecting the terminal equipment 5 and the variable frequency water pump 6).
[0044] Following the previous example, with Figure 2 For example, the upper core connector 20 can be used to fix the relative position of the upper lead screw 21 and the upper conversion chamber 19. After the upper adapter 18 is installed, the upper core connector 20 is screwed into the upper part of the upper lead screw 21 and finally screwed into the upper part of the upper conversion chamber 19.
[0045] Following the previous example, with Figure 2For example, the upper screw 21 can be used to connect the fifth pipe section 82 and the aluminum-plastic pipe 16, and to install and fix the upper core connector 20 (so that the upper core connector 20 can be screwed into the predetermined position); the upper inner connector 22 can be used to connect the fifth pipe section 82 and the upper screw 21.
[0046] As one possible implementation method, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, both the upper packer 1 and the lower packer 2 can be cylindrical and coaxially arranged inside the pumping hole; based on this, the terminal device 5 can also be used to: determine the first drawdown of the test layer (denoted as ) based on the first pressure data. The power of the variable frequency pump 6 is adjusted based on the first water level drawdown and the first pressure data.
[0047] Following the previous example, with Figure 2 For example, the diameters of the upper packer 1 and the lower packer 2 can be selected according to the diameter of the borehole to be tested (i.e., the pumping hole); the terminal device 5 is connected to an external power source via the power input line 10 and to the variable frequency water pump 6 via the power output line 9; the terminal device 5 can adopt PID control and data storage terminal, specifically used to receive and store the first pressure data, second pressure data and flow data collected by the observation system 400, and to set the drawdown of the test layer (denoted as ) according to the first pressure data. This is used as a drawdown parameter, and then based on the set drawdown parameter... The power output frequency is continuously adjusted based on the power input frequency and the first pressure data fed back by the first piezometer 23, so as to adjust the power of the variable frequency water pump 6.
[0048] As one possible implementation method, see Figures 1 to 3 As shown, terminal device 5 can also be used to: determine the second drawdown (denoted as) above the test layer based on the second pressure data. ); based on the depth of the midpoint of the upper packer 1 (denoted as ); The lowering depth of the second piezometer 25 (denoted as...) ), second pressure data, first water level drawdown (denoted as ), ), radius of the pumping hole (denoted as The flow rate data of the outlet pipe 8, the second water level drawdown, and the installation position information of the upper packer 1 and the lower packer 2 are used to calculate the permeability coefficient.
[0049] For example, the installation position information of the upper packer 1 and the lower packer 2 may include the midpoint depth of the upper packer 1 and the distance between the midpoint of the upper packer 1 and the midpoint of the lower packer 2; based on this, the terminal device 5 can determine the first water level drawdown of the known test layer. and the second drawdown above the test layer In this case, the depth can be based on the midpoint depth of the upper packer 1. The lowering depth of the second piezometer 25 And the second pressure data, to determine the original water level height (denoted as ). Based on the original water level height First water level drawdown Radius of the water pump hole Flow data of outlet pipe 8 and second water level drawdown And the distance between the midpoint of the upper packer 1 and the midpoint of the lower packer 2 (denoted as...). ), and perform permeability coefficient calculation.
[0050] The calculation of permeability coefficient can be divided into the following two cases:
[0051] (1) When the upper packer 1 is located at the interface between the unconfined layer and the confined aquifer, if the first permeability coefficient of the unconfined layer is known, the second permeability coefficient of the confined aquifer is iteratively calculated based on the original water level height, the first drawdown, the radius of the pumping hole, the flow rate data of the outlet pipe 8, the second drawdown, and the distance between the midpoint of the upper packer 1 and the midpoint of the lower packer 2.
[0052] (2) When the upper packer 1 is located in the aquifer, the third permeability coefficient of the aquifer is calculated iteratively based on the original water level height, the first drawdown, the radius of the pumping hole, the flow rate data of the outlet pipe 8, the second drawdown, and the distance between the midpoint of the upper packer 1 and the midpoint of the lower packer 2.
[0053] For ease of understanding, the pumping device and permeability coefficient calculation method provided in the embodiments of the present invention are described exemplarily below with specific applications.
[0054] The design of the pumping device takes into account the cross-layer seepage of the upper water body, which can make the calculation method of the pumping test more scientific.
[0055] The principle of using a pumping device for pumping tests and permeability coefficient calculation is as follows: drilling; installing the pumping equipment and packer; pressurizing the packer to isolate the hydraulic connection between the upper and lower layers; starting the pumping equipment based on PID control, performing the pumping test according to the set drawdown, and simultaneously recording the pumping flow rate, the drawdown of the test layer, and the drawdown of the upper layer; and using the theoretical formula considering stratified seepage to calculate the permeability coefficient of the target soil and rock layer.

[0059] Among them, terminal device 5 can be used to: determine the water level drawdown parameters according to the set parameters. The power output frequency is continuously adjusted based on the data fed back from the first piezometer 23 to adjust the power of the variable frequency water pump 6, and the data collected by the first piezometer 23, the second piezometer 25, and the flow meter 27 during the test are recorded at the set recording time intervals.

[0063] Step S1: After drilling to the target layer, the packer system 100 is lowered and pressurized to expand the upper packer 1 and the lower packer 2 to isolate the target aquifer from the hydraulic connection with other aquifers.
[0064] Step S2: Observe and record the initial pressure data of the second piezometer 25 and the first piezometer 23.

This represents the initial pressure measured by the second piezometer 25, in MPa.

[0074] 3) Pumping flow rate ( The flow rate was directly measured by flow meter 27, and the unit is... ).
[0075] Step S3: Data processing.
[0076] (a) Establishment Figure 3 The seepage model shown has a two-layer structure:
[0077] Using packer 1 as the boundary, the seepage model is divided into upper and lower layers. The upper layer is the part above packer 1 (which can be considered as a shallow water layer), and the lower layer is the test layer between packer 1 and packer 2 (which can be considered as a confined water layer, i.e.) Figure 2 (The confined aquifer in the middle).

This indicates the drawdown of the test layer (confined water), in meters (m). The thickness of the pressure layer is represented by the distance from the midpoint of the upper packer 1 to the midpoint of the lower packer 2, in meters; H represents the original water level. Indicates the radius of influence of the diving, in meters; Indicates the radius of influence of confined water, in meters; Let be a known variable, representing the radius of the pumping hole (i.e., the radius of the borehole), in meters.

[0131] After the test is completed, the pressure of the upper packer 1 and the lower packer 2 is released by the packer pressurization device 4. If the next test is to be carried out, the test and permeability coefficient calculation are repeated according to the above steps S1 to S3.
[0132] The core improvements of the above-mentioned pumping device and permeability coefficient calculation method are mainly as follows: 1) Proposing a cross-layer seepage theoretical calculation model suitable for stratified pumping to achieve accurate permeability coefficient calculation; 2) The sealing system 100 adopts a high-pressure rubber packer and its pressurization device to achieve reliable hydraulic isolation; 3) Integrating a PID controller and data storage terminal, a variable frequency pump 6 and a multi-point piezometer to achieve automatic control of the pumping process and synchronous data recording; 4) Providing a complete process method for drilling, sealing, pumping, recording and calculation, which is suitable for multi-layer aquifer testing.
[0133] Compared with existing technologies, the above-mentioned pumping device and permeability coefficient calculation method have the following significant advantages:
[0134] (1) By isolating different aquifers through the sealing system 100 and combining the layered seepage theory model, the hydraulic influence of each layer is effectively separated, making the calculation of the permeability coefficient more scientific and accurate.
[0135] (2) Layered pumping only affects the target aquifer, avoiding a significant drop in the water level of the upper aquifer, thereby reducing environmental risks such as land subsidence.
[0136] (3) For highly permeable strata, deep dewatering can be achieved in the target layer to better simulate actual engineering conditions (such as foundation pit dewatering).
[0137] (4) By using PID control and automatic data recording, manual intervention is reduced, and experimental efficiency and data reliability are improved.
[0138] (5) In response to the pain point that traditional packers have difficulty in achieving both sealing and adaptability, new materials and structural design have been adopted to enable various pipelines to pass through smoothly and ensure that the overall sealing effect of the packer meets the standards. At the same time, the detachable structural design can be flexibly adapted to packers of different diameters, greatly improving the versatility and reusability of the pumping device.

[0142] The above-mentioned method for calculating the permeability coefficient improves the calculation method and makes the calculation results more accurate.
[0143] As one possible implementation, the aforementioned installation location information may include the midpoint depth of the upper packer 1 and the distance between the midpoint of the upper packer 1 and the midpoint of the lower packer 2. Based on this, step S404 (i.e., calculating the permeability coefficient based on the midpoint depth of the upper packer 1, the lowering depth of the second piezometer 25, the second pressure data, the first drawdown, the radius of the pumping hole, the flow rate data of the outlet pipe 8, the second drawdown, and the respective installation location information of the upper packer 1 and the lower packer 2) may include: determining the original water level height based on the midpoint depth of the upper packer 1, the lowering depth of the second piezometer 25, and the second pressure data; and calculating the permeability coefficient based on the original water level height, the first drawdown, the radius of the pumping hole, the flow rate data of the outlet pipe 8, the second drawdown, and the distance between the midpoint of the upper packer 1 and the midpoint of the lower packer 2.
[0144] As one possible implementation, the above-mentioned step of calculating the permeability coefficient based on the original water level height, the first drawdown, the radius of the pumping hole, the flow rate data of the outlet pipe 8, the second drawdown, and the distance between the midpoint of the upper packer 1 and the midpoint of the lower packer 2 may include: (1) when the upper packer 1 is located at the interface between the unconfined aquifer and the confined aquifer, if the first permeability coefficient of the unconfined aquifer is known, then the second permeability coefficient of the confined aquifer is iteratively calculated based on the original water level height, the first drawdown, the radius of the pumping hole, the flow rate data of the outlet pipe 8, the second drawdown, and the distance between the midpoint of the upper packer 1 and the midpoint of the lower packer 2; (2) when the upper packer 1 is located within the aquifer, the third permeability coefficient of the aquifer is iteratively calculated based on the original water level height, the first drawdown, the radius of the pumping hole, the flow rate data of the outlet pipe 8, the second drawdown, and the distance between the midpoint of the upper packer 1 and the midpoint of the lower packer 2.
